TO PATRIOTIC PEOPLE
An Appeal and Warning From the Chairman of
the Democratic National Con1mittee=-=Coer=
cion Now Being Employed by Corporations.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19-The following APP
peal and warning. addressed: ITO the
American People" was given to the
United Associated Presses tonight by
Chairman Jones on behalf of the Dem
ocratic national committee:
In view of the fact that great
corporations, with scarcely an ex-
ceptinon. and many of the large
employers Of labor in the United
States are engaged in a concen-
trated effort to coerce their en-
ployees into voting at the approach
ing election against their own
convictions, I deem it my duty to
call upon all those who believe
in the supremacy of the law and
the untrammeled freedom of the
individual in the right of exercis-
ing the ballot, to use their utmost
effort to prevent this most fragrant
act of ldwlessness: for if this con-
spiracy, succeeds, government by
corporations will have succeeded
government by the people.
Corporations have no powers
except those conferred specifically
in the laws creating them. The
right to coerce voters or to inter-
fere with American citizens in the
exercise of their rights at the bal
lot box, are not named in any of
these acts of incorporation, and
when corporations undertake to
exercise such powers they become
lawbreakers and the good of So
ciety demands that they be rebuked
and punished. During the present
contest, which involves questions of
the utmost moment to the Amer
lean people; thousands of men have

streets is considerable The famous
public gardens are flooded and badly
injured, and it is said a man named
Thomson was drowned there while at
tempting to open a sluice in one of
the ponds to allow the accumulated
water to run into the sewers. A part
of the north common has been trans
formed into a lake, and a number of
cellars in the western section have
been inundated. In the suburbs some
of the residents had to raft from their
houses to their barns this morning
The city engineer says that 100000

the water in Long lake rises much

breaking of the waterworks dam and
the village of Herring Cove would be

to prevent the disaster. The storm

NEW YoRK'S NEW WOMAN.
How She Secured n Restaurant and

How She Secured Restaurant and
a Husband at the Same Time.
CHICAGO, Oct. ia special from
New York says there is a new woman
keeping a restaurant in Hoboken who
is bound to succeed in business if she
shows as much shrewd Judgment in
future transactions as she has just
done in the one by which she secured
the restaurant She was Mary Van
Aspen, until she got the restaurant,
with Ernest Boehmer, as husband,
thrown in. Ernest and Mary were en-
gagged. Ernest broke off the match
two weeks ago. Mary did not shed idle
tears or share, with tombstone Ben
nett, an overwhelming desire to be-
come nun. She sued Ernest Tor
$4,000 for breach of promise, and as
he could not give bail for $1,000 he was
thrown in Jail. Then he concluded he
would marry Mary. Mary was sent
for. She arrived at the jail, beaming
and happy. AS soon as she saw Err
nest she rushed to his arms and with
an embrace, exclaimed: 20, Ernie,
DEAR" and then, Some one get JUS
tice, quick Justice Mass soon ar
rived, and then Mary showed her bus
mess tact She said, rather coyly,
that Ernest should assign his restaur-
ant to her before the ceremony, as it
was much safer for a man TO have his
business in his wife's name. Ernest
rebelled. Very well,' said Mary,
there won't be any marriage, and you
can stay here
Ernest changed his mind. He trans
ferred the restaurant to her, and she
signed an agreement to retain him as
manager. When the justice asked Err
nest if he took Mary to be his welded
wife he replied in German, Yes, I've
got to- Mary refused to go on with
the ceremony until Ernest repeated the
promise without any Objectionable
clause. They left the jail arm in arm,
and Mary now bosses both restaurant
and husband.
