Talmage on Politics.

WAsHINeToN, Sept. 2s.-Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage in his sermon at the First Pres
byterian church made the following allu-
sion TO the presidential campaign: Dur
ing the last six presidential elections /
have been urged to enter the political
arena. but 1 never have and never will
turn the pulpit in which l preach into a
political stump. Every minister must do
as he feels called on 90 do, and will not
criticize him for doing what he considers
his duty, but all the political harangues
from pulpits from now until the Sd Of No
yember will not in all the United States
change one vote, but will leave many ears
stopped against anything that suoh clor-
gymen may utter the rest Of their lives.
This statement was followed by a refer
enoe to the depression now prevailing
throughout the country, and he said that
never within his memory had $50 many
people literally starved to death as in the
past few months" He believed the coun.
try was better off after every crisis and
that the Almighty would 'settle the con.
trOyersy between the metals.

Belief In Troy That Treasurer Morrison
Is Not Atone TO Blame.


TROY, n. Y, Sept 2S.-Rensselaer
county Is bankrupt Investigation follow
ing the arrest of County Treasurer George
II. Morrison Saturday night on charge
of defalcation shows that there isn't mon
ey enough left to the credit Of the county
to oven pay the grand jurors at the next
term Of court
Treasurer Morrison was supposed TO
have had over $500, 0oO Of county money
in his possession or deposited In Troy s
national banks. The exact amount is not
known, because the finance committce.o Of
the board of supervisors have been unable
TO secure possession Of tho books In the
county troasurer's Office OF this sum
slsO, 900 was realized by the sale Of court
house bonds. and unless the contractors
are willing to go ahead and rely upon the
sale OF more bonds for their pay work on
the court house must cease.
What makes the situation for the coun-
ty moro serious OF this time is the fact
that Mr. Morrison turned over 10 his
bondsmen, in order 10 secure them from
loss, all his property and securities in his
name, worth, roughly estimated, Sl25, OO0
l A warrant OF attachment has been ISSUED
against this property in favor of the coun
ty, but tho bondsmen are not expected {,
relinauish possession without a long legu
battle. There is even a possibility tina
there wiz he no funds available for cleo
ton expenses unless Immediate relief 4
forthcoming.
The belief is growing that before the in
vestigation into the defaloation is cnde,
| 10 will be discovered that other public Off
cials are implicated This belief Is strength
ened by significant statement made b.
Mr. Morrison
1T IS certain, he said, that ] will d
one thing, and that is to stand this al
alone ] will not say a word about any
body olse no matter what comes.
Mr. Morrison is at present out on bail
| having secured hondsmen. lie came dow

tion with his attorney, Benjamin ID
Groot When he left his attorney appear

or how he proposed TO return it.

BERLIN, Sept 2S Tho death Of Frau
Katharlna Slafsky llohse the prima don
ma, which occurred in Hamburg Oh last
Tuesday, is greatly rcgrettod here, and the
circumstances attending her demise are be-
ing widely discussed Her friends are
highly indignant at tho medical treatment
which she received and declare that she
WAS the victim of the inoapacity OF the
Hamburg physicians who attended her.
The story of the cause Of her death has
many versions but the one most generally
accepted is that while she was singing In
the United States she was struck on the
head by toppling cupboard, which caused
n painful Inflammation Of the scdlp. She
mover fully recovered from the effects Of
the mishap, and lutterly the pain became
almost unbearable.
The Hamburg physicians diagnosed the
case and pronounced her afflicted with tu-
NOR OF the brain, which could only bo re-
moved by the operation Of tropanning,
which the doctors decided Co resort TO. The
/ operation was performed, with the result
| that il dispr1ved the tumor theory, but
/ killed the patient The fact was that her
ailment was really Of comparatively tri-
l fling nature.
Frau Klafsky's funeral which took
/ place at Hamburg on Friday, was attend.
cd by large number Of her professional
and private friends. The body, in accord.
ance with the wish Of the deceased lady,
was clothed IN the white robe Of penitence
worn by her in the character Of Elisabeth

Frau KlafskY was the daughter Of an

sion, but her husband failure In business
compelled her to return to the stage, aftei
