1t is easily possible for a

advertisers. by sending out
thousands of papers to
news stands, which are re-
turnable, and which are in
fact returned, but neverthe.

Intelligent advertisers,
however. Judge by results.

HOPES TO CONVERT THEM.
Athletic Salvation Army CAPTAIN
ThrnShed Crowd of Touyhs.

New Brunswick, n. j., Jan. 10.-Capt.
II. X. Wood OF the Salvation Army was
attacked by a gang OF roughs in the bar
racks in this city Wednesday night. For a
long time about a dozen young men have
attended the meetings, raising a disturb
aDce and insulting the women. Only a
few nights ago Capt. Wood, who before
his conversion was an athlete in a circus,
and a prizefighter, threw off his coat and
after a struggle elected the crowd. Wednes-
day night they returned determined to as
sault him.
The meeting had just begun when they
began to call the captain vile names as
he was praying and dared him to fight.
Wood sto cd it until one OF the men
struck Mrs. David Dunn, lieutenant, in
the face. Dropping the Bible from which he
was reading and, seiZing the ruffian by the
throat, he dragged him to the street. As
he released his grasp the man drew 4 re-
volver and with an oath thrust the muz-
zle into the captains face. Quick as
flash Wood struck the mans hand aside
Capt. Wood was thoroughly aroused and
fought at the others who crowded around
him. His blows brought down man nearly
every time, and in less than five minutes
the gang ran away. Capt. Wood says he
knows who his assaiIants were, but will
not have them arrested. He hopes to con-
vert them into soldiers in the army.

widener-Elkins Syndicate Retiring
From Street Railway Ventures.
Chicago, Jan. 10.-The Widener and E1-
kins syndicate is retiring from the street
railway field, and is taking on no new
ventures. The members are severing busi-
ness relations, and preparing TO enjoy the
millions they have made in the street rail-
way and other ventures This combina ton
has been a heavy ia ctor in the estreetrailways
OF Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago.
The syndicate has been interested in other
large ventures to an amount which, accord
ing to common report. runs comparatively
far into the millions.
The old combination, Yerkes, Widener
and Elkins. has been a familiar one in
Chicago. 1t has been known most inti-
mately In connection with the Yerkes in
terests. But the phrase will now have to
be remodeled. 1t is now chiefly Mr.. Yerkes,
and as to financial hackers, there doesn't
appear to be any Philadelphia contingent
to be longer considered in his enterprises.

Capt. Mckee was seen this morning and

he published about me is untrue. and very

and never to use for appropriations and

Treasury for redemption in gold, in accord

Also that commission Of experts be ap-

of the world and of the conclusions of other
experts, and to report in January, 1897,
such changes as they deem desirable in our

There is now little doubt that the libel
suit Instituted by Capt. Thomas II. Mckee
against Marshall Cushing, editor of the
Capital, will be stopped and the case settled
out OF court.
The alleged libel was published in the
issue OF November 80 of the Capital, a nd isas
follows:
The man, Thomas II. Mckee, never seems
to know when he has had enough. He
couldn't become secretary OF the last Re-
publican Congressional committee, took the
assistant secretaryship, became acting sec
retary on the retirement OF Mr.. Olds, as
sumed, i'll the newspapers and elsewhere,
that he was really running the committee,
sent out after the campaign begging and
insulting letter to all the members-eIeyt,
claiming their support for Clerk of the
House on the ground that be had elected it.
This aDgered everybody, and Mckee was
exposed i'll a hundred piaces-chiefly by the
members OF Congress members of the Con-
gressonal committee inciuded) whom he had
so disgusted. For months he hung griiny
