Senator Teller's Farewell to
the Republican Party.

In the course of his master speech
prior to leaving the republican con-
vention, Senator Teller said:
81 realize what it will cost US; l re-
alize the gibes and sneers and cantu-
macy that will be heaped upon us, but,
my fellow citizens, l have been through
this before-before the political party
to which you belong had a being. l
advocated a cause more unpopular
than this. I have stood for the doc
trine of free men, free homes and free
speech. | am used to ,d~etraction. |
I'm used to abuse aud l have had it
heaped upon me without stint. When
the republican party was organized !
was there. 1t never had a national
candidate since it Vas organized that
my voice has not been raised in his
support. 1t never Lad until now a
great principle enunciated in it's plat
form that has not had my approval.
With its distinguished leaders, its dis
tinguished men for forty years, l have
been in close communication and close
friendship; l have shared in its honor
and In its few defeats and disasters.
Do you think we a sever our con.
nectiOn with a party like this until it
becomes a matter Of duty? a duty
not to our states, but to the people of
this great land.
"Mr. President, there are few men in
any political party that have been hon
ored more than l have by the psople in
the state in which they live. There are
few men in this convention or any
where else that have been longer con-
nected with this organization than /.
"There are few men in it that have
been more active and not one who has
been more attached to its great prin-
ciples than /. and can not go cut with
out heartburnings and a feeling that
no man can appreciate who has not en-
dured it; and yet / can not, before my
country and my God, agree to that
proposition that shall put upon this

WATSONPS FO0LISHNESS
May Cost Mr.. Bryan Thousands Of Votes in
Kansas : Orders His Name
OFF the Ticket

Topeka, Kas, Oct. 19.-W. c. Edwards,
secretary of state, today received letter
from Thomas e. Watson in which he
said: 81 withdraw as a candidate for vice
president on the ticket nominated at Abb
lene and decline to have my name used
on the official ballot upon that ticket, it
being placed there to deceive the popu-
list voters to vote for democratic cleo
tors"
Secretary Edwards decided to obey Mr.
Watson's request, and so notified Chair
man Breidenthal, of the populist central
committee. Breidenthal Immediately
caused an application to be made to the
supreme court for a writ of mandamus to
compel the secretary of state to place Mr.
Watson's name on the ticket. An alter
native writ was granted this afternoon
and the case set for hearing on it's merits
Wednesday afternoon. If the court sus-
tains the action of Secretary Edwards,
Bryans name alone will appear on the
official ballot and that over the electoral
ticket of the middle-o f-the-road popu-
lists. The result will be that thousands
of votes will be lost to the Bryan fusion
electoral ticket, which will, it is thought
by leading politicians of all parties, make
Kansas certain for Mckinley.

SEABOARD SECRECY.
An Albright Conference in President Hof.
mans Office.

Baltimore, Oct. 19.-The same secrecy
that has characterized the negotiations
and reported sale of a controlling interest
in the Seaboard Air Line to a New York
syndicate, headed by Thomas y. Rryan,
is maintained by the officials and direc-
tors of that company.
There was a conference today in the
offices of President r. Curzon Hoffman,
which several directors of the company
attended, but the purpose of the meeting
is unknown. None of the parties pres
ent will discuss Seaboard affairs, and al
though Mr.. Ryan will not admit that he
was present, it is known that he was rep
resented. The option on the 10000 shares
of stock of the company, which Mr.. Rryan
had secured from President Hoffman, ex-
pfreS tomorrow, and it was generally un-
derstood in railway circles that the meet
ing in Mr.. Hoffman's office was in con-
nection with the transfer of these securi-
ties, but in the absence of authentic in
formation nothing definite can be stated
Mr.. Ryan left, presumably for New
York, at IL o'clock tonight.
a gentleman who is closely connected
with the directory of the Seaboard COM
pany said tonight that in his opinion the
deal had been consummated and that the
public would be informed of the transfer
OF the control of the company to the New
Workers all in good time, but when
pressed for definite answer he excused
himself and walked away

home after dark last night. The family
had retired, but he awakened his wife
and quarrel followed. Kennard then
went to the porch, where he took down
the corn knife Returning he struck his
wife, almost severng her head; then with
blow he instantly killed his boy.
After sleeping off the effects of the
liquor Kennard told his neighbors that a
tramp had murdered his wife and child,
but the daughter, who escaped, related

From o Man Who Saw It.

Indianapolis, Oct. 19.-This evening Mr.
d. A. Dunning, until recently editor of
the National Waterman, the organ of the
populists at Washington, was here on his
way to visit friends in Michigan. Mr..
Dunning has been a close friend of Mr..
Watson for many years, and recently re-
turned from q visit to him at Thomson,
Ga. When asked what he knew about
the letter of acceptance, Mr.. Dunning
said: 81 was a guest at Mr.. Watson's
home when the letter was written, and
read the first draft Of the letter two or
three times very carefully. / do not
think I am betraying any case when I
say that it was written in Mr. Watson's
usual vigorous style. The question of
fusion is handled in it without gloves,
and backed up with arguments that can
not be met The action of the national
committee is severely condemned, and a
general protest is made against the man
ner in which he has been treated since
the convention"

Palermo Has One of the Grandest Churches

Monreae, by many deemed "the noblest

vast Benedictine abbey and cloister-''a

to RUM was created a cathedral in 1882
by Pope Lucius III, who, looking on the
work, exclaimed: 1.-THE like of this church
hath not been constructed by any king
even from ancient times; and it must
compel all men to admiration"
If. externally, in the first view Of Mon
reale disappointment awaits one, that
may be because on the way there ones
eyes have grown too accustomed to beau
ty. For that same morning one may have
seen the sun rise from the ivied chapel
behind Santa Maria &c Gesu; looked
thence down the mountain-girdled plain
and white-domed City of Palermo, curv
ing round the azure bay. Or, climbing
Monte Pelegrino, fianked by its sheer
precipiees 1900 feet, you may have heard
the noon Angelus bell float skyward from
all Palermos towers Then, as the sun
beams begin to slant the ride up from the
valley of the Concha d'Oro, under the
blossom-starred boughs OF almond and
orange trees, past the old convent OF San
Martino--gray hermit cowled in pines

If the dome appears small and the tow
ers plain the eastern portal compensates
the mode of its ornamentation; the inter-
laced arches, upheld by slender pillars,
being formed of alternate blocks of black
and white marble the panels diversified
with multi colored mosaics. The three
beautiful doors are of bronze, deliberately
adorned with scriptural designs and ara
besques, the largest one executed by the
architect of Pisa's Leaning tower.
Within, the blending of different styles
is remarkable. III form, according to the
founders wish, a Latin cross; its col
umns are borrowed from the Roman tenn
Piles, their capitals Greek; the Byzantine
mosaics, In which Monreale is the richest
of all medieval churches, wrought upon
a gold ground, time has mellowed into
delicious purple haze Of glory. The nave
is ample, and the arches slightly pointed.
Narrow windows cast a tempered radi-
ance over the fiat. gorgeously embellished
roof. There Is a single aisle; the east end
consists of three apses, the largest one
terminating in the high altar.
Above it. unique in design, Is the fla
nous fresco, a haf-length figure of
Christ, so colossal that the whole edifice
seems a mantle thrown about 1t. The
right hand Is outstretched in benedfction;
the left holds an open book wherein is
written: II am the light of the world"

in Gould's tin shop, the Masonic and
Grand Army Of the Republic hall block,
thence leaping to the opposite corner of
the two main streets, it burned long
