MRS. CASTLE GUILTY.
Sentenced to Three Months Imprison-
ment for Shoplifting.

Sentenced to Three Months Imprison-
ment for shoplifting.
London, Nov. THE trial of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter NJ. Castle, of San Francisco,
charged with shoplifting, took place in
the sessions house At Clerkenwel Fri
day and resulted in Mr.. Castle beng ac-
quilted and Mrs. Castle being sentenced
to three months imprisonment without
hard labor. There were seven indict-
ments against the prisoners charging
them with stealing articles, the total
value of which was 43. 10 shillings.
Application has already been made to
the home office for Mrs. Castles re-
lease, and it is understood that her SEN
tence is practically formal and that she
will be liberated in a few days.
The Central News announces that a
petition was lodged at the nome office
Friday afternoon praying for the
queens clemency in the case of Mrs.
Castle. United States Ambassador
Bayard has also addressed note to
Sir Matthew w. Ridley, home secre-
tary, on the subject.
Several of the merchants who had
teSlIHtu 10 having iosl property 1ouho-
in the possession Of Mrs. Castle, said
after the trial that they were convinced
that the lady was mentally irresponsi-
BILE and that they had no expectation
that she would be convicted.
Commenting upon the conviction OF
Mrs. Castle, the Chronicle says that if
ever there was a distinct case of
kleptomania, it is that of Mrs. Castle.
A pamphlet will be issued here saying
that most people will be panied and
surprised by the sentence imposed on
Mrs. Castle. There was complete abb
sence of motive in her offenses, and
the medical testimony might fairly have
prompted a nominal sentence.

The Successful Candidate Discourses on
the Result.
Canton. O., Nov. 6.-Mr. Mckinley Thurs
day night sent the following telegram to
Mr.. Hanna in New York:
Canton, O.. Nov. 6-To Hon NJ A.
Hanna. Waldorf Hotel New York: Your
telegraphic message announcing the result
of the election has been received. ] beg you
to accept my hearty thanks for your great
services In the cause or sound money" and
protection throughout the campaign now
closed and glortousiy won. They were most
generous and effective and viii receive the
warm appreciation Of your countrymen
everywhere. / will be pleased to have you
convey to your associates Of the national
committee my high appreciation Of their
efficient services.
Due to Patriotism.
THE people In their majesty, ignoring
party lines have declared their detestation
of reputation and dishonor. In whatever
specious guise they may be presented.
They have with the same mighty power
affirmed their devotion to law and order
and their undertaking respect for justice
and the courts They have maintained
their unfaltering determination to support
and uphold the constituted authorities Of
the country and have thereby given new
vigor and strength to our free institutions
They have. indeed. again consecrated
themselves to country, and baptized the
cherished ordinances OF free government
with a new and holy patriotism.
Victory for the Whole People.
The victory is not to party or section.
but Of and for the American people. Not
the least of the triumphs of the election is
the obliteration Of sectional lines in the
republic. We have demonstrated TO the
world that we arc a reunited people in
purpose as well as in name. We have
manifested In the great cause the spirit Of
fraternity and brotherhood that should al
ways characterize our common and equal
citizenship and have proven conclusively
that In a country of equal privileges and
equal opportunities the insidious doctrine
of hate or Of class or sectional distinc-
tons cannot prevail. Let US as Americans
straightway devote ourselves to the up
building Of America; to the peace, honor
and glory of our common country. Party
Discussions should no longer divide or rack
the public mind. nor the zeal or temper of
either side deter any citizen from patriotic
devotion to the good Of all
civilian M'KINLEY."

the election Of 1896 Is concerned, when ad-
vices were received at headquarters from
West Virginia conceding the electoral vote
of that state to Mckinley, but il was de-
of the fact until Thursday. In the mean
time Gov. Stone arrived in Chicago from
Missouri IN response to Senator Jones tele-
gram The national committee chairman.
the governor and Campaign Chairman Cam
pau were in conference Thursday evening
in the senator's room, and at its conclusion
the following statement was given to the
press:
THE result of the presidential election
is apparently no longer in doubt. 1t has
been one of the closest contests that the
people have been called on to determine
in recent years We have claimed the cleo
ton on our advices from states that were
admittedly IN doubt, in which we knew
there had been many frauds and from
which there were evidences of tampering
parent that. while Mr.. Bryan, after making
the most brilliant campaign in the his
tory Of our country. has carried most Of
the states claimed to be doubtful. but
has not carried enough to assure his sue
cess in the electoral college. Bryan electors
have been chosen in all the states south
of the Potomac and Ohio, except West
Virginia, and all those west of the Mis-
souri, except California and Oregon. He
has 100 electoral votes, and this number
may be increased by final returns from
states yet in question.
Cause of the Defeat.
Thus this remarkable campaign closes
with the election of William Mckinley
The result was brought about by every kind
of coercion and intimidation on the part
OF the money power. including threats of
lockouts and dismissals and irpendtng
starvation: by the employment Of by far
the largest campaign fund ever used in this
country and by the subornation of large
portion of the American press. The presi-
cent-elect and his party are under pledge
TO the American people to continue the
gold standard and by its operation to re-
store prosperity to this country. AS chief
executive Mr.. Mckinley will have the cor
dial support Of the millions of patriotic
Americans who have cast their votes for
William Jennings Bryan. They bow to the
majesty of the Office, and abide by the re-
suit with none of the mutterings that
would have come from the money power
had 1t been unsuccessful. They are conf
dent the gold standard cannot give the
promised prosperity, but will gladly well
come 1t If 1t comes. They will continue the
great struggle for the uplifting of human
ity and to the maintenance of the dignity
OF our country in the establishment of an
American monetary system. And the dem
oc.ratic party, aided by its present allies,
will still uplift the bimetallic standard
and bear 1t on to victory.

Committee"

This insures their election by a ma
3olity of Il in the electoral college, If every
other electoral vote goes against US.
Another most significant feature of this
victory Is the fact that Mckinley and Ho-
barts election has been secured by a plu-
rality of over 1000 900 of the popular vote
the largest ever given
IT am confident that we shall secure the
other two electors in Wyoming and the Ii
in Kentucky: North Carolina Q1 votes is
in doubt.

result cannot be overestimated and is a
matter of congratulation to all loyal and
patriotic citizens of the United States"

Gold at ST. Louis.

ST. Louis. Nov. There has been a

that the outflow, which has grown
smaller daily, will soon cease altogether.

fioated through his mind and he chuckl-
ed to himself and gave his thighs re-
sounding whacks with his ugly paw.

imagined. Perhaps some time the com

at the curve three quarters OF a mile be-

should really cause a collision? Had
the young baggage master ever done
anything to him that he should let him
lose his place. What right had he, old

merely because he had not been pro-

his heavy boots dumping over the

It is very nice to write how the sta

manently installed in his place-how at
last, the longed-for position was filled by
Spriggins. It is very nice to write it.

Turning HI, man Bodies to stone.

A Chicago dispatch says that Charles
D. and Frank T. Boydston of this city
think they have discovered a method of
turning human bodies into stone and
preserving them forever.
In the basement of their establish
ment there is the body of young wo-
man who died on July 18th last. This
body, since it was treated by them, has
turned to stone, or to a substance re-
sembling it, and appears to be imperish-
able. In an upper room of the establish
ment is another body of woman, who
died August 22d, which appears also to
have become petrified
The brothers have been experiment
ing for years, but the discovery of a
process of petrifcation was in some
respects an accident Eight or ten
months ago they began to treat bodies
with a preparation similar to the one
they now believ- has petrifying prop
critics, with s. n encouraging results
that they ker up their experiments.
