Every child deserves the heritage of

LAST DAY in OHIO

HENRY ABBEYS FUNERAL

MARTINS FERRY, Ohio, October 20.
The last day of VIM. j. Bryan's Ohio
campaign was begun by the candidate
with very little physical preparation
for a speech-making ordeal. He did
not get to bed on board his special car
until after l O'Clock this morning.
That was at GAINESVILLE, where the peo-
Pile waited more than three hours be-
yond the time set for Mr.. Bryan's er-
pearance and heard three speeches ~
him after midnight. The car pull j
out to Bellaire, where about 1880 peo-
pie were gathered, at 6 O'Clock. Bryan
made speech, and fifteen minutes
later the train resumed its journey. A.
Bridgeport second stop was made.
Fifteen hundred people, some of whom
had been waiting since daybreak, heard
him. Yellow Mckinley badges were
the most conspicuous objects in the
crowds at Bridgeport and Martins
Ferry. At the latter place, a terrace
beside the track wcs covered with
them.
WELLsvILLE, October 20. = No
speech was made by Mr.. Bryan at
Yorkville where small gathering was
at hand. He told the sixteen little
girls in white and their solitary sister
in golden array, who with several
hundred others formed his audience ct
Brilliant, that he could not make a
speech that would come up to the
name of their town. Gold badges
were noticeable in the throng OF 5000
people at Steubenville, but not nearly so
numerous as at Bridgeport and Mar
tins Ferry. Some young men who
were yelling, however, interrupted the
speech several times, and Mr.. Bryan
answered their comments with some
display of feeling.

FORTY BISHOPS MEETING

LONDON, England, October 20.--
As was the case upon the occasion of
last Tuesdays hearing, the court room
was crowded with friends of the de-
PENDANTS, curiosity seekers, etc. Mrs.
Castle looked somewhat pale when she
entered the court room but did not DIS
play anything like the nervousness aud
agitation which she plainly showed at
her last appearance in the court. An
assistant employed in the fur dealing
establishment OF Gustave Ellis, Of Re-
gent street, was called to the witness
stand, and testified to the loss of the
sable muff, and other furriers identifi-
ed the property in the possession of the
Castles, asbelonging to them. Magis-
trate Newton committed the prisoners
for trial at Clerkenwell sessions.
MIR. Charles Matthews, counsel for
the defense, then asked that the de-
PENDANTS be committed for rial in the
Central criminal )urt, Old Bailey, in
stead of the ordinary sessions. His
grounds for making this request we're,
that the anxiety Of the friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Castle in San Francisco that
they should receive the benefit Of all
available tes imony in their favor was
very great, and the commiital of the
prisoners for trial in Old Bailey court
would allow them time TO come to
Eugland, bringing with them medical
evidence of the mental irresponsibility
Of Mrs. c. stle. Magistrate Newton said
that he W. unable to comply with the
request, as be Yves acting under direc-
tions . send all clses of shop lifting to
the sessions. Mr.. Matthews then said
that he had no doub! but that he would
be able 10 obtain an adjournment OF
the case from Cierkenwell sessions
court, in order to enable witne ses
from America to be present at the
tria'. The pri-oners plead not guilty
and reserved their line of defense.
LONDON, England, October 21.-
