GAY MISS REBECCA.
She Is Probably So, But She Can Work Con-
fdence Trick.

George Dennis, machin.st at the
Lynn Iron works, will probably not be
SO credulous of the little stories of i'm
posters in future.
Saturday afternoon one Rebecca
Brown went to the home of Mr.. Dennis
and told him very straightforward and
pathetic tale. Mr.. Dennis being a kind
hearted man took her to live with he
and his wife until she could find a per-
manent home. Mr.. Dennis cared for the
woman and gave her every thing to
make her comfortable.
Sunday morning Dennis and his wife
went to church and left the woman to
take care of the children. When they
returned the woman had gone and had
taken with her a $40 note, which was
under a pillow. With the money she
bought morphine, basket of grapes and
a pound of tobacco, boarded Bessemsr
dummy and went to Mrs. Doss' at Comp
ton.
She is a woman of about So years and
came to Birmingham from Selma about
six months ago. She was arrested by
officer Hamilton and when closely ques-
toned she acknowledged her guilt.

which was elected last year, VIII again
be indorsed though by a somewhat
smaller majority. There are six tick
cts in the field, republican, democrat,
democrat Irrational populists, prohibition
and social labor. What interest there is
seems to center in the size of the vote
of George Frederick Williams in this

IN GORMAN'S STATE
Both Sides Are Already Crying Fraud-Repubs

Baltimore, Nov 1.-The republican

ing hard tonight to prepare for the elec-
ton tomorrow. The mayoralty and a
majority of the important city offices
are to be flied, two judges are to be
elected and United States senatorship
is at stake, as the next legislature will
elect q successor to Senator German.
Democratic leaders now unhesitatingly
state that If the legislature ds demo-
cratic Senator German will be re-
elected.
Both parties claim that they will be
successful, but the greatest confidence
is manifested by the republicans. Chair
man Norman B. Scott, of the republi-
can state central committee claims Bal
timore city by no less than 5000 major
ity and the state by oyer 10000 major
ity. This would give the republicans a
majority of the counties and insure the
election of republican United States
senator.

parties, and several arrests of alleged

month has been devoid of exciting incl
dents. A few months ago it seemed as
though there would be Straight fight
between the republicans and democrats
with the odds in favor of the latter on
account of Lhe opposition to the RaineS
liquor law, a republican measure which
requires saloons to pay high icense
and remain closed from a. m. and to
remain closed ON Sundays. The law is
highly unpopular among the foreign
born inhabitants of this city.
-Four Events
Four events have occurred which have
in turn upset The calculations of the po-
litical leaders.
The first was the formation of the
Citizens Union, which drew its strength
chiefly from the republican party and
whose leaders are so fiercely hostile to
Senator Platt and his methods of direct
ing the regular republican organization
that a. coalition of all the anti Tam
many forces, an end that Mr.. Platt re-
peatedly declared that he desired, was
impossible. : The Citizens Union lead
ers asserted that the regular repub-
lican organization and its members were
quite as offensive to good citizens as
those of Tammany.
The second startling event was the
return from Europe of Tammany's old
leader. Richard Croker, or rather his
Immediate assumption of the manage
ment of Tammany Hall. He swept aside
all opposition, dictated the nomina tion
of Robert A. Van Wyck for mayor, and
carried matters with such a high hand
as to lead to serious defections from the
wigwam.
The third epoch of the campaign be-
gan with the call of Henry George to
the democrats who believed in Thomas
Jefferson to join him in fight for him
est government His veterans in the
campaign of 1886, when he polled 6S,100
votes, foclzed, to his standard as the
soldiers of France did the banners Of
Napoleon returned from Elba, and in
few days, Henry George, apparently
lacking none of the resources of war,
was waging fight that amazed all the
other political parties. From the Bat
terry to the Bronx, from Staten Island
to Rockaway, he preached of the rights
of man and denounced the so-called
party "bosses," with fierce energy
that electrified the city
Last Thursday night the tide seemed
to be flowing irresistible to George. On
Friday came his death, an event that
