Upper Red Hook. n. Y. Aug. l8.-
Here in this little Dutchesa county
village, six miles from the nearest sta
tion ON the New Y Iorl Central railroad,
nearly two miles from a branch road
of the Philadelphia & Reading, and
away from the busy whirl of politics,
William / Bryan has established him
self for a week or ten days of quiet to
enable him to compose his letter OF
acceptance. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan are
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Per-
rine. Mrs Perrine was Mrs. Bryans
teacher at the Female academy in
Jacksonville, ILL.,, the town where the
democratic candidate also received the
principal part of his education. The
candidate and his wife reached Barry
town last evening by train from Pough-
keepsie with Mr.. and Mrs. Perrine and
T. Outright. Mr.. Bryan's secretary,
drove six miles through beautiful
farming country to the home of MIR.
Perrine. The Perrine residence is
pretty frame structure, right in the
village and adjacent to the general
store kept by the nominees host.
Hugh j. Brady, chairman of the st.
Louis central committee and member
Of the Bryan and Sewall committee on
ratification, met Mr.. Bryan by accident
on the steamer Albany and had dinner
with him. Mr.. Brady says that Mr..
Bryan told him that he will speak in
st. Louis between the 10th and 18th OF
September. In answer to repeated in
quiries as to whether he would make
reply to the speech to be delivered
tonight by Hon. Bourke Cochran. Mr..
Bryan said: MIR. Cochran and l dis
cussed both the silver question and
the income tax while in congress. Ii
he advances any new arguments they
can go to the country along with my
speech of last week. l shall not re-
turn to New York until the latter part
of September, when ] expect to speak
briefly in Brooklyn on my way to New
England, and in New York on my way
from New England" Mr.. Bryan's at
Gention was called to several errors
that appeared in the printed copy Of
his Madison Square garden speech. He
gave out the following corrections:
Near the beginning of the speech the
word property" should be changed to
poverty" so that the quotation
from Lincoln will read: mo
men living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toll up from
poverty" Near the end of the para
graph beginning cit cannot be sue

should be inserted after must so as
to read: 1.-The influence of this great
nation must not bs thrown upon the
side of gold" etc Concerning Sena-
tor Thurston's statement in his letter
to Senator Stewart, published yester-
day, that Mr.. Bryan had been charged
with being in the pay of silver mine
owners, Mr.. Bryan said that he had
denied this statement on several oc-
casions, and that a denial would be
made at an early day.

Hamilton, . Mary Abigail Dodge, died
at s:55 o'clock last night, without re-
gaining consciousness since she was
stricken Sunday morning with par
.lvsis while seated at breakfast.
Few women were as well known in
the literary world as Mary Abigail
Dodge. Besides her writings, she was
kept in the public eye by her cha M
nionship of the interests of women.
The fact that she was a cousin of
James G. Blaine's wife and spent SO
much of her life at Washington added
to her celebrity. t'Gail'' is simply an
abbreviation of Abigail, and the name
Hamilton she took from the Massa-
cbusetts town in which she was born
In 1890 Her first experience was as
school teacher. She was an instruc-
tor in the Institute for Physi-
cal Science in Hartford for sew
eral years. beginning in 1881. From
Hartford she went to Washington as
instructor of the children of DIR. CANA
Hel Bailey, the anti-slavery agitator.
He was the editor of the National
Era and she contributed a great many
articles to it. Among her best known
works are Twelve Miles for Lemon"
"Skirmishes and Sketches" Gala
DAYS" and Sermons to the Clergy"
She had been ailing on and off for
number Of years. Until the last illness
her most serious attack was in May,
1895 when while stopping with Mrs.
Blaine she was stricken with paraly-
sis. After her recovery from sickness
last September Miss Dodge wrote a
paper on how it feels 30 be dead. The
paper was entitled, ''In the Valley of
the Shadow of Death" and was read in
church in Hamilton by Miss Dodge her.

sofa, but although she was unab ble to
move or speak, she imagined that she
was still awake and listening to the
voice of one of her brothers who had
died year before, but whom she i'm
sgiued to be present at the time. She
had an unconquerable desire to ask
him whether she was really in the
world Of the dead but her tongue re-
fused her bidding. She could not ut

her paper by advising her friends to
have no fear of death as her expert

must be blessing.

GOLD DEMOCRATS.
An Address Issued ey the National Execu-
tive COMMITTEES at Chicago. 80


Chicago, Aug. 1S. A meeting of the
national executive committee of the
gold democratic party was held at the
Palmer house last evening. Chairman
Bynum of Indiana presided and all the
members were present except Charles
f. Tracey of New York, who was de-
tanned by party work in the metropo-
lis. The principal business which
called the committee together was the
preparation and adoption of an ad-
dress to the democratic voters of the
country. A subcommittee was chosen
to draft the address. Assurances have
been received by the committee that
the organizations in the following
states, which were not represented at
Indianapolis, are sufficiently advanced
to make it certain they will have full
delegations at the convention: Louisi-
ana, North Dakota, Georgia. Missis-
sippi, Colorado, Wyoming and South
Carolina. Nothing has been done III
Idaho, Utah or Nevada towards or
ganizing and Mr.. Bvnum said he did
not expect to see those states repre-
sented at indianapolis. The expecta-
tion is there will be forty two states to
answer to the roll call on Septembe g.
The committee appointed Walter Kess-
Ter of Indianapolis sergeant-at-arms
for the convention. He is young
man who graduated from Yale and
read law and is now in the stone
quarry business. Hugh Wallace, who
recently resigned his membership in
the national democratic committee

STRICKEN CUBA.
New York Health Officers Investigation
of the Plague Ridden Island.

New York Health Officers Investigation
of the Plague Ridden Island.
New York, Aug 18.-Health officer
Alvah II. Doty has returned from
Havana, Cuba He said he had only
spent two days in Havana, because he
found on arrival that it would be i'm
possible for him to reach either Santj-
ago or Cienfuegos, where there are
alarming outbreaks of smallpox. He
therefore confined his observations to
a close inspection of the conditions
prevailing at Havana. He found that
there was great deal of yellow fever
and smallpox in the city and surround
ing country. The sanitary conditions
were terrible. The whole city's sew
age was emptied into the bay and
the tide was not sufficient to carry it
to sea. Consequently the bay was
constant breeder of yellow fever. Two
points in particular were noticeably
offensive, opposite the Regina docks
and in the vicinity of the military hos
pitfalls. DIR. Doty states that any yes
sells arriving here which were loaded
at the docks in these places will be
subjected to the most rigorous quaran-
tine. There were 300 cases of yellow
fever and 100 deaths reported from the
military hospital during the two weeks
previous to DR.. Dotys visit. He is
confident that the condition of the city
of Havana is much worse than in ordi-
navy summers, as the pre- sence of such
a number of unacclimated soldiers has
a very bad effect and also the frequent
moving of large bodies of military men
from one part of the island to another
tends to spread disease.
New York's Quarantine Facilities.
1t was DIR. Doty's intention to APP
point resident physician to represent
him in each of the three cities of
Havana, Cienfuegos and Santiago, and
he succeeded in securing an eminent
medical man in each one of these cities
who will regularly report to him the
sanitary condition of the towns they
represent and also the progress and
effectiveness of such measures as the
local authorities may take to prevent
the spread of disease. DIR. Doty re-
fused to give the names of his repre-
sentatives for publication, saying that
their usefulness to his department
might be impaired thereby There
will be no change made in the manner
of inspection of Havana vessels at this
mort The health officer is satisfied
that the present system of OBTAINING
all foreign born passengers from Cuba,
who have not become acclimated by
fen years residence in the island, is
the best way to insure against the
introduction of yellow fever, while IN
the case of vessels arriving from those
ports which are infected with small
box. a most rigid examination OF all on
hoard will be made and where there is
the slightest suspicion of infection
the vessel will be detained until the
full incubative period of fourteen days
shall have elapsed from the time the
vessel cleared from the port. With
the aid of his newly completed fuml-
eating steamer DIR. Doty feels conf
dent that there will be no Introduction
of the dread disease into this city.
He expresses himself as much gratlhed
with the result of his trip.
