A TYPICAL SOUTH CAROLINA
ADDRESS.

Charleston, S. c., Sept. 1S.-Messrs.
w. R. Davie, w. w. Ball and Frank
Evans, who represented this state in
the recent Indianapolis convention,is-
sued an address to the sound money
Democrats of South Carolina The ad-
dress is bitter in its denunciation of
Bryan and Mckinley and is strong in
it's advocacy of Palmer. 1t says:
Elsewhere in this broad land COM
munism, Populism and executive ty-
ranny is a dread, a fear. In South
Carolina it Is an experience"
The people are warned that the De-
mocracy represented by Bryan is moth
ing but the national "Tillmanism,
such as the people of this state have
endured under the senator of that
name. They are told that the abuses
which are charged against the Till
man administration of the state gov
eminent will become national abuses
should Bryan be successful. The In
dianapolis platform is presented as one
worthy of the best days Of the re-
public, broad enough, strong enough
footing for all honest, intelligent and
patriotic citizens" A protest is made
against any attack upon the Federal
judiciary and the free silver plank OF
the Chicago platform is denounced as
a purely speculative financial rene
dy." The address is strongly worded
and is characterized by great heat and
bitterness of expression.

That Is Furnished The Chicago School
Children and Fevers are Prevalent.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. lS-The public
schools of Chicago, may be closed at
any moment, on the order of Commits
sioner of Health Herr, because the wat
err supply here, afforded them by the
board of education, without filters, is
impure. Mondays rise of Ia inches
has carried out to the intake pipes of the
various cribs of the city, all of the nth
of sewers. This may later be brought
back to the school children in the drink
ing water which is offered to them in
the school buildings through faucets,
unprotected from the contamination OF
the lake water.
The grand jury, now in session, has
been so seriously impressed by the ap-
parent neglect of the board of educa-
ton, that it will investigate all Grim
inal neglect as to the character of the
water supplied the schools. Typhoid
fever, scarlet fever. diphtheria and
other diseases, which quickly attack
the children of the schools, are now
seriously prevalent in all parts of the

FREEDMAN DENIES IT.

Says He Has Not And Will Not Sell
His N. Y. Baseball Interest.
New York, Sept. 1S.-The World this
morning says: President Freedman
of the New York Baseball club has re-
turned to the city. In response to
request for information as to whether
he would nibble at any Of the fiattering
offers for his controlling interest in the
New York club, Mr.. Freedman said:
1.-THE franchise is not for sale upon
any terms, not even for 100000. AS
far as the Washington meeting is con-
cerned, there is nothing in it. What
could Charley Byrne buy these days?
He will do well to look after his own
club. The Brooklyn's certainly need
improvements that should keep him
busy"
Notwithstanding Mr.. Freedman's
vigorous denial, there is something in
the story that Frederick Eaton, of the
Diamond Match company, is involved
in a contemplated purchase of the New
York club.
The syndicate was formed over two
months ago, but the plans were some
what altered by the good showing
made by the Giants under "Scrappy
Bill Joyce.

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IN MEXICO

Mexico City, Mex, Sept. 1S.-The
archbishops and bishops have issued
a circular to the faithful declaring
that although the belief in the appa-
rition of the Virgin of Guadalupe is
not an article of faith, it is the duty
of Catholics to give credence to the
legend which has been undisputed
through three centuries, and which
has been supported by a long success
sion of bishops.
Juan Mateo, a leading liberal poll
tician, publishes a long article today
asserting that ex-Bishop Comacheo has
destroyed popular faith in the mira
Gle, and charges the clergy with per-
petuating a pious fraud. He charges
bad faith in the matter of the recent
coronation of the Virgin, and says
the Indians have lost faith in the i'm
postures of the clergy. The contro-
versy has become very animated, ow-
ing to the participation of various
learned laymen, among them the IA
nous antiquarian, Jose Agreda, who
manifests doubt as to the apparition.
1t is daily expected that a telegram
will be received from the pope in
structing the clergy in the matter.

HOWLED DOWN BY HOODLUMS.

Silver Shouters at Omaha Attempt
to Silence Bourke Cochran.
Omaha. Neb., Sept. 1S.-There was
a wild demonstration at the Cochran
meeting at the Coliseum Monday
night During the afternoon reports
were rife of a preconcerted plan on
the part of hoodlums to break up the
meeting! The disturbers planted
themselves in the north and south
ends of the building, and even before
the speakers arrived began a series
of shouts and yells, which they kept
up for an hour.
The 10000 persons who occupied
the chairs were respectful and order
", but the hoodlums congregated
near the doors and hOwled like ma
MACS when Secretary Morton arose
TO introduce the speaker. The sec
rotary realized the situation, and ap-
pealed to the manhood of the rioters,
but in vain. The tumult only increas-
ed volume. Dr.. George l.. Miller
then asked that order be restored, but
was permitted to say but a few words
when the storm broke out anew.
Bourke Cochran then attempted to
speak, and was greeted with wild
cat shrieks and grOans, which con-
tinued until he sat down.
Then Hon. Z. ]. Mahoney, presi-
dent of the Democratic sound money
league, under whose auspices Mr..
Cochran spoke, denounced the out
rage and demanded that order be re-
stored. The police force had mean
time been strengthened and after a
dozen arrests had been made the
hoodlums became quiet, and Mr..
Cochran began his speech, which he
concluded without further Interrupt
ton Republicans and Democrats
alike denounce the outrage in IN
measured terms.
