JOHN STODDARD RETIRES.
Leaves the Lecture Platform After II
Profitable Seasons

Boston. Oct. AFTER Is years of
travel and work, which resulted in II
seasons of lectures, John L. Stoddard
believes himself entitled to a respite
from labor no longer necessary, while
at the same time prominent publishers
have come forward with acceptable
proposals for the reproduction of his
lectures in book form, the revision of
which viii give him agreeable and not
arduous employment.
He therefore announces his retire
ment from the lecture pIatfrom. The
result of Mr.. Stoddard's IS years OF
public life has been that he has Iectur-
ed nearly $500 times, and as his audi
ences have been usually measured bv
the capacity of the hall or theater
where he appeared it will not surprise
any one to hear they aggregate nearly
1900 600 with gross receipts exceed fng
81. 900 900. Mr. Stoddard is worth $500
600 at least.

CORNER ON BEEF CATTLE.
Shortage and Sudden Rise in Prices
in Southwest Texas.

San Antonio, Oct. A shortage of
beef cattle mas developed here, and the
price of beef and mutton has suddenly
gone up 214c per pound. The veal mar
ket has been short for several days and
has barely enough stock for local needs
and can not fill rush of orders from
smaller towns throughout southwest
Texas Rumors of a gigantic corner on
the beef cattle market are current.
Agents of a Kansas City syndicate
were in this section about three weeks
ago buying cattle and made trips even
to all of the small shipping points. The
local dealers are solely nOnplussed over
the situation. The rise in prices came
not gradually, but all at once. A strik-
ing ard significant feature of the situa-
ton is that beef is quoted cheaper in
Kansas City than in Texas. whence
much of the Kansas City supply comes.

diers in Wagon

New York, Oct "A United States
army wagon hauled by four horses has
just arrived at Orange. n. J., all the
way from Fort Niobrara, Neb., a dis
lance of over $500 miles
The party in the wagon consisted of
Owen McTasney, a former resident of
Orange and Zippirion Maurice, a
Frenchman. Both are soldiers in the
regular army. The trip is the result of
a wager that it could not be made in
Y days The travellers wore the regu-
lation uniform. Mr.. McTasney says:
I'VE left Fort Niobrara on June 80. We
were 81 days on the road, but as we
were stalled for IS days in South Da-
kota, we are only one day behind sche-
dule time. After leaving Nebraska we
struck into South Dakota, got lost in
an Indian reservation, and went about
400 miles out of our way. From Dako-
ia we came by the way of Iowa, Illinois,

BACKSET FOR HANNA.
Foraker's Refusal to Speak in Ohio is
Important

Washington, Oct. 4-There is much
comment at the capital on Senator For
aker's decision not to stump Ohio for
the cause of Mark Hanna. The sena-
tor states that important engagements
in New York have forced him to re-
main there during the campaign. It is
said that Senator Foraker recognizes
the fact that he would be obliged to
make a few speeches in Ohio and made
a promise to that effect to Judge
Nash
Now that Colonel Dick. secretary of
the national committee. is in charge
at Columbus, the promise was declared
off. Colonel Dick is an old enemy Of
Senator Foraker. 1t is pretty thor
oughIy understood that Mr.. Foraker
will not return to take an active part
of the campaign SO long as Colonel
Dick is in charge of it

III it has not happened before, today it
will da yrn upon the people of Washington
and some other American cities, that the
most heroic efforts are being made 10
suppress the facts regarding the hellish
treatment and sentence To penal servitude
of senoIita Evangelina Cossio de ClsneIos,
niece of the patriot Cuban President. Her
nominal crime is the attempt to defend her
honor against the brutality of high
Spanish officer: her real offense is that she
is a near relative OF the Marquis of Santa
Lucia. Already we have printed the pa
thetic appea! OF Mis-. JGlia Wa rd Howe TO
the Pope, and 10 the men and women Of
America in her behalf. and. in spite of the
fact that only portion of the press has
maid any attention 10 the matter, we are
glad TO learn that news of the outrage and
execration of its authors, are travelling
like a cyclone of wrath over the length
and breadth of the United States. The
Spanish influence in this country has some
where found money with which To sup
press publication in certain directions.
National indignation and agitation ut this
particular time would be apt seriously To
interfere with the plans and purposes of the
British holders of Cuban bonds, and of the
Sugar Trust. Hrt will the fathers AMI
mothers of fair Columbia stand this sort
