M'KINLEY FRIGHTENED.
Mark Hanna In His Desperation Com
cIudes to Put His Man on the Stump
In the Doubtful States.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 23.-The
Evening Journal says tonight:
1T was learned today on
what seems to be reliable
authority that Major Mckinley
will stump Illinois and other
doubtful states as soon a. ar
rangements for big meetings,
which are now under way. can
be completed" F."
The meaning of the deternin-
alton of the Republican cam
paign managers to put McKin-
ley on the stump, as interpreted
here, is that Mark Hanna, on
his trip East and his recent visit
through Illinois to Chicago,
learned enough of the feeling of
/ the people to frighten him.
In the East Mr.. Hanna learn
ed that the voting Democracy
/ is united enthusiastically in the
interest of the national Demo-
cratic ticket, and that in rural
New York the Democratic farm
ers were solid for Bryan, and
that thousands of Republican
farmers and the labOring men
all over the state are joining
the standard of the Democratic
candidate.
True, he was assured of the
support of the sound money
/ DemocratS, but Mr.. Hanna is
politician enough to know that
the gold men are few in number
and confined almost Exclusively
to the element which Is always
kicking about rottenneSs il

wild and wooiy Fight.

There was a wild and woody
fistic encounter today at the
railroad crossing north from the
depot, between a white man
and negro.
The latter was suffering with
an over-abundance of sass and
proceeded to spill the same all
over the white man, who waltzed
into the fray with Afric's ebon
son.
First round - Nigger had
things pretty much his own
way and got first blood.
Second round - Consisted
mostly of more sass and more
blood and was telling on Afric's

THE communication of Kicker
yesterday morning impelled the
editor of the ARDMoREITE to
make a tour of investigation
today along Paradise Alley"
leading from the rear of the
laundry down to and across
North Caddo street. Armed
with a vial of camphor we made
the journey and found things
equally as horrible as had been
pictured by Kicker. The stencil
is simply disease breeding and
death dealing iii It's offensive
ness. Now, somebody is to
blame for this state of affairs,
but we are not prepared to say
it is entirelythe hotel and steam
laundry, the refuse from which
finds its way down the alley.
They are compelled TO get rid
of their sewage and in order
to do so have at their individual
expense piped it a distance
from their respective places.
OF course it is not right that the
people directly endangered.
offended and damaged should
be held responsible, but they
together with the hotel and
laundry should 90 to work and
induce the business men of the
town to assist them in getting
rid of the dangerous nuisance.
1t is a matter for the public, for
public health and public policy
in which the whole town should
be interested. One thing is
certain it is a nuisance that
demands to be abated.

THE Gazette will give no sup
port, countenance or encourage
ment to the fusion ticket nOmi-
mated yesterday. Knowing we'll
that the ticket nominated can
control votes to secure its cleo
ton and feeling certain that its
success means death to the
Gazette is not a sufficient rea-
son why the Gazette should
affiliate with a combination of
harloting appetites. The Ga
zette supported fusion for the
good of democracy. When fu-
sion was so arranged as to
destroy democracy the Gazette
has no desire for it. The demo-
Gratis who became assistan pop
ulists and bound our party to
the farm wagon of an organiza-
ton that will drive it straight
to the slaughter house must take
the responsibility for the butch
cry. The Gazette will stand
around as a mourner, but it will
not participate in carrying its
party to the shambles. Know
ing that this decision means
death to the Gazette it will still
adhere to it and become a part
of the democratic remains.-

If it be true, as one of the
poets has said, that MANS in
humanity to man makes count
less thousands MOURN" who
can measure the enormity of
mans inhumanity to womani
We heard of a case this week
that deserves severest roasting.
A man was taken out in the
country last week to pick cot
ton; plenty of work at fair
price awaited him all through
the season. He worked reason
ably well for a few days, then
threw up the job, saying: Il
don't have to pick cotton. The
old woman can make a living
for me-" and back to town he
came. We learn that this mans
wife, an industrious, worthy
woman, supports the family by
taking in Washing, while the
husband loafS around and does
nothing. When we hear of such
cases as this we wonder If,
after all, we are correct in
speaking of the whipping post
as relic of barbarism, for it
does seem as though nothing
short of u good dose of hickory.
laid ON by an athlete, is the
proper corrective of such evils
as this.-Purcell Register.

TOOK A NOVEL REVENGE.
Canyasser Sends a Swarm o. Doctors 10 4
Lady Who Refuses Subscription.

For the last three days persons living
near the fourstory brown-stone house
at No. GIG Bedford avenue, Brooklyn,
occupied by the family of James
Cavanagb, wealthy shoe dealer. have
wondered at the large number of doc
tors equipages calling there. Some CT
the most prominent physicians of the
eastern district were seen to call in
hurry. and leave in the same manner.
Finally. anxious friends paid so many
inqririnE visits that Mr.. Cavanagh
notified the police of the Lee Avenue
precinct that his family was in the
best of health and requested them to
put stop to the annoyance.
AS a consequence the police are now
looking for a sweet-faced, blue-eyed
girl about Is years old. well dressed,
very bright in conversation. and wear
ing a string of gold beads around her
neck and gold cross pendant.
The young woman figures as a can
vasser for subscriptions to the building
fund of the Church OF the Visitation,
which was burned in South Brooklyn
six weeks ago. On Tuesday last she
called on Mrs. Cavanagh with a partly
nIlsu SUBSCRIPTION DoOk anu ItPicStIieu
that she had been sent to her by the
Rev. Father Malone, Of the Church Of
SITS Peter and Paul on Wythe avenue,
TO solicit subscription to the building
fund. The caller questioned Mrs.
Eavanagh concerning the names OF
other Catholic families living in the
neighborhood, and the latter becoming
suspicious refused either TO subscribe
or give her caller any information
Since that time her life has been
made misera bic, aS the young woman
took novel revenge. She called on a
dozen physicians in the neighborhood
and 10 each when they refused to sub
scribe she would say:
