MRS. LEASE ON THE STUMP.
She Will Begin Speaking for Henry
George Tomorrow

New York, Oct. 11.-Mrs. Mary Ellen
Lease has come to New York from
Kansas to work for the election of
Henry George. She has brought with
her opinions of some of the mayoraIty
candidates.
Gen. Tracy" she says, represents
the bondholding class, great trusts and
combines that have manipulated con-
gress and bribed the senate at will and
as their candidate must necessarily be
obnoxious to those who are viewing
with jUstifiable alarm the ascendency
of the individual over the interests of
the public.
Mr.. Low, as I view the situation"
she continued, is being put forward by
the corporation wolf who is clothed in
sheepskin, but whose fangs are never
theless visible and keenly felt. Under
the pretence of law and morality the
members Of the Citizens Union which
nominated Mr.. Low, discriminate be-
tween the rich and the poor, and while
they persecute and unjustly discrimi-
nate against the man with blisters on
his hands, they take off their hat and
make snObOcratic Obeisance to the man
with blisters on his character.
Henry George is not the repreSen-
tative of any political party, clan or
ISM, " she said. In the great strug-
gle now going on between the millions
who have not enough to eat and the
plutocratc few who have a million
times more than their craven bodies
deserve; in the great struggle between
human agreed and human freedom,
Henry George stands as a fearless ex-
ponent and defender of human rights
the white soul and dauntless champion
of oppressed humanity, wherever found
His victory viii be a victory not only
for the city-the plundered people of
New YOrk-but for the toilers through
out the world. That is all [ have to
say about the candidates.
I am deeply in earnest" she con-
tinued, ''and shall work night and day
for Mr.. George, lecturing and writing.
Tomorrow I shall begin speaking in
Harlem, and I shall lose no OppOrtuni-
ty thereafter to address the voters of
New York"
While Mrs. Lease believes in women
at other times, just now she is content
ed to have them occupy back seats. She
will neglect their political education
entirely during this visit to New York
and confine her attention solely to the
men.
It's a waste of time trying to talk
to them, like some wOmen's clubs are
doing" said she. I shall try to reach
the hearts of the voters direct, not
through their female relatives. Wo-
men have nothing to say yet, and can
take no part in politics. Educate them
between campaigns; leave them alone
during camDaignS'

FOUND DEAD.
Son of the Assistant Superin-
tendent of the Reform
School.

The body of Percy Sewers, aged 26, son
of Fred Sewers, assistant superintendent
of the reform school, was found in a corn
field six miles from AIankato Sunday,
badly decomposed. the evidence tending
to show that he had been dead at least
three weeks.
The young man left Wichita, the home
of his father, some weeks ago going to
Jewell county. where he hoped to find a
suitable location for a jewelry and watch
repairing establishment. He spent some
time at Mankato, but did not send to
Wichita for his tools, which he had left
with his father the understanding being
that they should be forwarded to him
when a suitable location was found.
Nothing has been heard of the young
man for some time, but this did not at
tract any undue attention, as he was in
the habit of writing only at long inter
walls.
The body was found in a field. In a
coat pocket was a letter, upon the en-
velope of which could be deciphered the
name Sewers" However his father was
not aware that his son was dead until
the body had been found and buried. The
remains will be removed from Mankato
to Wichita and buried beside those of
his mother.
The boys mother died at the Osawato-
mie asylum and brother died at the To-
peka asylum. The young man has been
subject to fits of dependency, and it is
believed that he committed suicide. His
coat was wrapped around his head and
his hands were folded under the body
when found, a position which authorities
agree would be impossible for a suicide
to assume and the father of the boy be-
Heves that he was murdered. The theory
at MankatO is suicide.

RECONCILED.
Ex Gov. Sprague and His
Daughters Forget and
Forgive.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Star pub
fishes the following:
Society is looking for some energetic
demonstration on the part of Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague when she returns from
Columbus, o., where she is now visiting,
for since her departure from this city a
reconciliation, it is said, has been effected
between her three daughters and their
father. former Governor William Sprague
of Rhode Island. When, eighteen years
ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Sprague We're divorced
the latter was given the charge of their
daughters-Ethel, Kitty and Portia. At
the time of the separation of their pa
rents Ethel, the Oldest daughter, was
about years old, while Kitty and Portia
were and 2 respectively From that
time to the present Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague has forbidden her daughters to
have any communication, either directly
or indirectly with their father or any of
his relatives, and she succeeded in hav-
ing her commands respected until a few
weeks ago.
Some time since Miss Portia, who is now
about 20 years of age, was appointed to
position in one of the departments She
then left her mothers house, took board
at a fashionab BILE house on New Jersey
avenue and was not long in ascertaining
that she was able to exercise her individ
ual rights She concluded to write to her
father, and did so. The letter contained
an earnestly expressed wish that her
father would come to Washington to see
her. The father wrote an immediate re-
ply from his Narragansett Pier home,
telling Portia he would come, and day be-
fore yesterday he arrived in Washington.
Not only was Miss Portia waiting at the
depot, but her sisters were there also,
and a most touching greeting followed.
Tears streamed down the face of the
father as he embraced each of his daugh-
ters, and the young ladies tenderly ca
ressed him.
1t was many minutes before Mr..
Sprague could regain his compOsure, and
when he did so he presented them to his
wife, Mrs. Inez Sprague. who had ac-
companied him his journey here. A
little later the whole party entered
carriage and We're driven to the home of
Miss Portia. 1t is understood the daugh-
tiers have already arranged to spend next
summer with their father and Mrs.
Sprague, and that, if their mother con-
demns the girls for their part in the
reconciliation, they will accompany him
to Europe upon a trip which he contem-
plates taking in the early future

Doubtless the pleasure is as great
of being cheated as to cheat" So said
q sage, and he was justified In so say
ing by the apparent eagerness of hui
man beings to be gulled. Lately those
who find pleasure in being taken in
have had some glittering Invitations to
enjoy themselves. These invitations
have come from New York and they
cordially invite those who receive them
to make money in Wall street with alb
solute certainty and safety by taking
advantage of system that cannot fail.
One Of these invitations contained the
following: Speculation is no longer
lottery, but a science whereby, through
the medium of carefully formed rules
and conditions, one can enter the flnan-
cial arena and accumulate wealth on
the same mathematical principles that
are followed by an architect who plans
building" Then followed appeals to
the imagination of persons unfamiliar
with Wall Street speculation. Reputa-
BILE brokers were also referred to, and
the announcement made that all of the
firms transactions were on the New
York Stock Exchange. AS a clincher,
800 or 400 per cent was promised on
sums Of $25 and upwards" Most
dupes began by sending $25 to try it,
and for a time, until they were well
in.'' would receive fine dividends"
Some might write to well-known brok-
ers, but if they received any reply 1t
would merely be that the concern was
unknown. Others would write to the
tSock Exchange-the secretary has re-
ceived many such letters-and learn
that the firm had no connection with
the Exchange. But thousands invested
their money without any investigation.
Now the concern that sent out these
invitations has 'busted" and many of
those who have accepted it's invitations
are wondering whether they have had
fun enough for their money.
There isn't much use in warning
those who are inclined to accept such
invitations as the one set forth above.
Fools and their money are soon parted,
