THE PRAYER GOES.
\ Supplication Which Caused Political
Comment in New York.

Albany. \. V, Sept. 2I.-In the Epis-
copal cathedral of All Saints today, Rt
Rev. Bishop Donno read prayer for
unity and peace in the country, which
was first read in the diocese of New
York and which caused political COM
ment. 1t will he remembered that when
Bishop Potter had this prayer read in
New York City he was severely criti-
ciscd on the ground that it was partisan
in its nature and leaned towards repub-
licanism. He answered these criticisms
by saying that the prayer emanatcd from
Bishop Doanc and that he would answer
all enquiries.
Bishop Doanc's action in having the
prayer read today affirms the statement.
The bishop. who is II democrat. minated
that the prayer was not intended to be
partisan. but was 10 ask divine assistance
in avcrtng any disaster the election
might bring forth. no matter which party
might be successful

Washington. Sept Ex-senator John

candidate of the national democratic
party, arrived in this city this afternoon
from Philadelphia. The senator is on his
way TO his home in Illinois, aud stopped
here to visit his married daughter and

morrow or the next day. Next week he
has some matters demanding his pres

of Illinois at Ottowa and after that will
hold himself in readiness to respond to
calls for speeches that he may be asked
TO make by the national committee. The
senator does not as yet know what de-
mands will be made on him in this re-
spect. Concerning his brief trip in the
eastern states the senator tonight spoke
substantially rs follows:
IL was very much pleased and graft
fled mt the reception and NJ the audiences
which greeted me in the various cities,
and especially at the predominance OF
young men in the organization of the
party. There is an evidence Of organiza-
ton and earnestness of purpose that
shows the fighting strength. The ma
ti0nal party is the party Of the future.
The democratic party is passing from
the hands of the older leaders like Hill
and Morrison, and the young men are
coming to the front. The democratic
party organization is in bad shape in
New England and Pennsylvania and
the republican party will carry that sec

Another Translation That Differs From
Governor Culberson's.

Following we give the Bismarck letter
to Governor Culberson in the original,
then Judge Schutzcs translation of it.
and then the translation that Governor
Culberson is using. The main differences
are emphasized by large letters in
Judge Schutzes translation. The two
most important are that Bismarck sug
gests that North America, and not the
United States, make an effort for BIZ
metallism. and secondly that we might
take Substantial steps, for bi-metalism,
and not independent action" But here
are the three letters. read them for your

At the Orpheum.

The additions to the Orpheum's bill this
week consist of two freaks-one six-year-old
little girl with phenomenal memory and the
other an armless gentleman, whose feet per-
form all the functions of hands.
Little Gertie Cochran, the memory wonder,
shows positively startling knowledge of his
tory, geography and general statistics. There
is probably not schoolmaster in the State
who could have responded without stumbling
to all the questions asked her, but the little
creature never hesitated and was very wide
awake to catch ques tions which some would-be
smart members OF the audience put to her.
Unthan, the armless wonder, played the vic
lin and corHet with his feet. He also played
cards aud generally used his pedal extremities
as dextrously as hands. He went one better
than William Tell by shooting the end of q
gen tleman's cigar with gun handled with
his feet.
Pltrot, the character delineator, is back again,
with strong flavor of chestnuts clinging to
his performance. The only new character
added to his repertory Is DR.. O'Donnell, but
his impersonations of the Congressional can
didates still has power to arouse great deal
OF noise. The Hawaiian band continues to be
popular, but the audience would probably be
better pleased If the selections were curtailed
IN length. The National airs given by the
glee club arouse great enthusiasm. Master
Walter Leon is deservedly as great fayorite
as ever. Riley and Hughes continue to show
their agility as plantat ation dancers.

AVENUES OF ESCAPE GUARDED

Trail Chosen by the Fugi.
tive Band.

ALBUQ N. Mex, Oct. 5.-The
of this county, which took the trail of the
train robbers at Rio Puerco the morning
after the attempted holdup, returned to-
day without having come up with the
bandits. In giving an account of the
trip the Sheriff says:
"We followed the trail from the station
about five miles down the Puerco River
and then to gap in the mountains on the
west side of the river. 1t then led to q
box canyon, nearly to the head of 1t, where
we found the remains of campfire and
half sheep. The men evidently camped
there the night before. The trail then
led back out of the canyon toward the
southeast. After leaving the canyon we
followed the trail for about forty miles,
without water, until it was almost obliter-
ated, when We started to the river for
water, reaching the Rio Grande few
miles below Sabinal."
Dispatches received this evening from
United States Marshal Loomis report that
his posse is hot on the trail. The day it
left here it reached Magdalena about 10
o'clock, and the same day rode to a ranch
sixty miles southwest on the San Angus
I'LL pam, WnC1C t14C pulouClo OdlApcO iOA
the night. The robbers passed there going
south the same night, taking fresh horses
from corral not half mile distant and
leaving their worn-out animals. They
evidently had confederates in that part of
the country. The posse rode back TO Mag
dalena and was taken by special train the
same night to Silver City and thence rode
seventy miles to a ranchat the base of the
Magollon Mountains at point where the
robbers will have to pass to get out OF the
country.
The messenger who brought this in
formation left camp before daylight this
morning. He brought dispatch from
Marshal Loomis, saying:
I'VE are ahead of the bandits and are
camped at point which they will have to
pass in getting south. We have our own
guards this time and there will be no more
horse trading"
1t is the opinion of the railway officials
that there will be a collision between
Loomis and the robbers tonight.

SAWS HIS war TO LIBERTY.
Frank Royce, Member of Daring 6and
of Embezziers, Escapes From an
Oklahoma Jail.

SOUTH END, o. T., Oct. 5.-Frank
Royce. convicted of embezzlement, sawed
through the bars Of the cage of the jail
last night while the jailer was at supper
and escaped. No trace of him has yet
been found. Royce once practiced law at
Atchison, Kans., but at the opening of the
Cherokee strip he went to Pond Creek,
and then came here and became cashier of
the County bank. The bank failed in
July, 1894, and Royce was indicted for
embezzlement. While he was out on bail
he became president of a small private
bank in Jamaica, Iowa, and from there is
sued bogus drafts upon various banks In
Chicago and elsewhere. These were nego-
tiated by George Elwood, Frank Olive and
James Logan, all OF Grant County, and
many banks in Colorado, Texas, Kansas
and Indian Territory were defrauded.
About last December the conspiracy was
discovered. Olive and Long are now serv-
ing sentences, while Elwood is still at

The Famed Observatory on the South
ern Peak to Be Stripped Of
It's Trappings.

ECHO MOUNTAIN, CAL, Oct, 5.-Pro-
fessor Lewis Swift, the astronomical wiz
ard of Mount Lowe leaves for the East in
a few days and it is quite probable that he
will not return to the observatory which
cIings like swallows nest to the heights
of Echo Mountain. There, for two and a
half years, the professor has watched the
stars and discovered comets from the mass
of nebue in the heavens. Since the
Mount Lowe property has gone into the
hands OF receivers, affairs at the observa-
tory, financially considered, have come to
a standstill, and Professor Swift intends to
remove the big telescope and all the as
tronomicaI parapnernalia, which Is valued
at thousands of dollars, to some point
where astronomical research is rated at
shfgher value in dollars and cents. All the
apparatus belongs to him, the bare OBJ
servatory only being the property OF the
Mount Lowe Company.
Since Professor Swift came to Echo
Mountain he has discovered four comets,
the last about week ago, double comet.
How many comets have l ever dis
coveredT' said the professor to-day in
answer to query from The CALL CORE
spondent. "WelI, have discovered six
teen and lost half as many. You see
sometimes discover comet which is so
dim 1 can scarcely distinguish it from
nebuIa and when look for it again it is
gone. Five of my comets are periodics,
with the following periods: five and. half
years; seven and half; seven years, 1S6
days; 121 years apd IS, 900 years."

from Butte, Mont, says: W. A. Clark,
the mine millionaire, Congressman and
newspaper man of this city, is about to
erect an extensive beet-sugar plant at
Anaheim, Cal. 1t will be one of the
largest plants of the kind in the world. It
will cost more than 100000, and will
grind 700 tons of beets daily, making
1900 tons of sugar in the four months of
the season. He is also considering the
erection of sugar factory in Montana,
and supplying the State with home sugar,
which would take a plant of about 500
tons daily capacity.

TOM WATSON ACCEPTS.
Dictates Letter So Saying to Chairman

dictates q Letter SO Saying 10 ChGtTnS n
Butler.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 6. = An at
lanta (Ga.) special says: Thomas E. Wat
son last night dictated letter accepting
the Populist nomination for Vice. Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is addressed
to Chairman Butler, and is vigorous,
incisive document. Mr.. Watson will re-
wise the letter and make it public probably
on Wednesday.
In his letter of acceptance the Populist
leader calls attention to the almost for
gotten fact. that during the st. Louis con-
vention a caucus of "middle-of- the-road"
delegates representing twenty -one States
was held. At this caucus the delegates
agreed to nominate Norton of Illinois for
President, and Birkett of Mississippi for
Vice-President.
That ticket would have made Bryan's
defeat absolutely certain, but when Wat
son telegraphed a message saying that he
was willing to accept..second place on the
ticket with Bryan the "middle-of-the-
road" men, believing that the Democratic
managers would support the arrangement
in good faith, withdrew their opposition
to Bryan.
Mr.. Watson's letter is practically de-
voted to demonstration along the line
that the Populist candidate for Vice
President deserves the support of all who
favor Bryan's election.

'The Big Bonanza" at Morosco's kept large
audience laughing for nearly three hours 1t
is one OF Days best comedies and the intro
duction of the poor old college professor into
the mysteries of the stock exchange was done
in way that appealed most forcibly to an au-
dience of San Franciscans. L. R. Stockweli as
the professor was even iunnier than usual.
Miss Batem an was very happily east as Eu-
genia, the daugh ter of the rich banker, brother
of the professor, and Lottie Williams as the
professors daughter also received much ap-
plause. Howard Kyle was given an oppor-
tunity to do some very effective acting and
took advantage of it. Frank Hatch was the
rich banker who has retired from business.
His part was we'll played as was the role of the
dudish Alphonsus de Hass by Edward Heron.
Julia Blanc and Fanny Warner carried the re-
naming two chief parts satisfactorily. The
rest of the cast was thoroughly satisfactory,
Mortimer Snow and Harry Benrimo doing
some very clever work.

"Satanella" was produced before a large
audience last night ana met with a cordial
reception. The principal event of interest was
the first appearance of Ella Crox Seabrooke,
who more than fulfilled what had been prom
ised for her. She is the possessor of sweet
and youthful soprano voice of considerable
volume and register and presented very at
tractive appearance, especially in her doublet
and hose. She was several times called before
the curtain, and received double encore for
her rendition of "The Power of Love-" The
management has valuable acquisition in
this young lady. Rhys Thomas was excellent
as Count Rupert and was loudly apPlauded for
his singing of "The Sparkling Vintage of
Champagne" Signor Abramhoff sang splen-
did as Arimanes and was exceedingly effective
in appearance. Maurice Darcy created IA
vorable impression as Karl. He has q pleasant
