ZANOLLI BREAKS DOWN.
An Alleged Confession by the New
York Suspect.

York Suspect.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Journal
and Advertiser says: Charles Zauol-
Ii is reported on the authority of an
official at the Tombs to have made a
confession of his guilt to the Rev. G.
c. BerkemeieT, superintendent Of The
Warlburg orphan farm school, of Pei
hamvilIe. The conversation between
the prisoner and his clerical visitor
was informal, and the words IA
nolli used confirmed the belief of the
police that he is one of the most in
famous murderers of the century.
well. there seems to be no more
hope for me- were the words the
prisoner used TO his reverend visitor.
Its all up, I guess"
The motive of Mr.. Berkemeiers visit
to the TOmbs was to see if he could
identify Zanolli as the man who had
left two children--a little boy and d
little girl-in his care at the orphans
farm. The moment he laid his eyes on
the prisoner he recognized him.
That's the man" lie exclaimed. 40
these children were little LOttie and
little Charlie" Mr. Berkemcier went
into Zanolli's cell. and they exchanged
greetings. According to the stories
that found currency in the TomLs last
night, the prisoner was heard 60 say:
"WeH, I guess there's no more hope
for mo. 1 guess it's all up with me-
Further, it is said that the prisoner
and his reverend visitor entered nt0
q long earnest conversation. which
was punctuated by the sobs Of Zau9l-
Ii, and that the conversation deal. with
the charges made against the barber.

acuse or New York. Harrison support
ed the Democratic candidates for
mayor by speeches in all of these places,
and it is a singular thing that in every
case his man was elected. He seems to
be a sort of a mascot in politics. In
his own campaign he was nominated
chiefly as being the son of his father.
His first speech showed that he had
a decided individuality, and after it, it
is said, he could have been elected I'M
der any name He is q magnetic speak
er, and he made from five to twenty
speeches a day during the thirty days
preceding his election. He carried the
people with him and was elected by
greater majority than any mayor of
Chicago has had.
PEN PICTURE OF HARRISON.
What kind of a looking man is he?
Well, he is, [ judge, about five feet
eight inches tall He is broadshoul-
dered and full of muscle He makes
you think of a fighter, and still you
do not feel that he carries about a
chip on his shoulder. He has a pleas
ant, sympathetic face, free from snob-
bishness or conceit. His forehead is
high and almost square. His eyes, Of

ties or religion. Trust them and appeal
to their horror, as you would trust y-il.r-
self and uphold your own just princi-
pies, and ] am sure there Will he no
trouble between the miners and the
Alaskans.
Further, the Klondi1e miners should
not NEEDLE in any way with the re-
ligious beliefs and customs of the ma
tives. The majority of the Alaskaus
are still heathen, but although they arr
such, yet they are religious. Now if
you want to irlitate or excite any pco-
pie. strike at their Fundamental reIie-
ious beliefs. Many painful scenes have
resulted from this cause. So TO avoid
any conflict, it is wise to let their
strange religious notions alone. and
leave it all to the American mission
aries and schools. But l am glad to
say that the Christian religion has
made many converts among them
These native converts are an honor 10
their country, government and flag, as
we'll as to the churches to which they
belong.
The native Alaskans do not object to
miners and commercial men coming
to their country. They will not give
them trouble as long as the god hunt
ers treat them Alright If these men
simply come for the gold that they can
get. regardless of how they get it and
whether or not they infringe upon the
rights of others, so they get possession
Of IT, the wrOnged natives viii take eX-
tTeme remedial measures Aside from
this, the attitude Of the Alaskaus to-
ward the miners Is one Of which we
need not be apprehensive,

IhI-oIIIlIANN
"By the way, Mr.. Harrison, STE
there is much talk of you as The POS
sible Democratic candidate for the
didate for the nomaation?'
mo; l am mayor of Chicago and I
have plenty to do without bothering
my head about. such reports. Besides,
l am friend and supporter of William
j. Bryan. [ believe and hope that he
will be the nominee"
Then you have no presidential am
bitions?"
mo: [ am not so foolish as that"
But how about the vice presidency?
The circumstances may make Bryan
and Harrison the best ticket
g; don't think the office of vice pres
ident is very desirable one" was the
reply Il would rather be mayor Of
CHICAGO than vice president Of the
United States. Here you can do things
and you have enough work 10 tax your
best energies. The vice president is
to great extent a nonenity in the
machinery of the government. He calls
the senate to order and draws his sal
airy. That is about all.
SILVER NOT DEAD.
You speak of Bryan as the coming
candidate of your party, Mr.. Mayor.
Will not the silver question be dead
issue in 1902
Chicago. 1T will never be a dead issue
until we have both silver and gold as
our money. II, may not be the main
issue but it Will certainly be one of the
issues. Without there is radical i'm
provement in the times it will, sweep
the country in 1900
But dc you not think the McKin-
ley tariff will bring back good times"
II can't see that it is doing so nor
that it will. It>may be helping the rich
manufacturers, but it is not raising
the wages of the poor. The price CT
hats, coats, pantaloons and shoes are
higher. The wages are the same. L
believe our next great national Demo-
cratic campaign is going to be one of
the people against the corporations.
1t will be an anti-tariff fight, and anti
trust fight and an anti-cOrporation
fight. I don't mean to say that the
battle will be on socialistic lines but
it will be based on the fact that as the
corporations get their rights from the
people, they should be ruled by the
people and be the servants of the peo-
pie"
Just one more question, Mr. Mayor
How about money-making in Chicago?
Are there still fair chances of poor
young men to make fortunes here?"
Yes, but not such opportunities as
in the past The rapid increases in
the value of real estate have disap-
peared. A little money will not suffice
to do great things, as it once did Bust
ness Is more in the hands of organized
capital, and the big corporations often
swallow up the smaller fry. Still there
will always be a chance for brains,
muscle and individuality here. Poor
boys are climbing up the ladder of for
tune right along, and good places are
always waiting for the men best fitted
for them. In some respects the newer
cities of the far West have now greater
advantages for certain classes of young
men. but it seems to me that Chicago
will for years be one of the best among
the money-making centers of the Unit
ed States Frank G. Carpenter.

CHICAGO NOT wide OPEN"

And just here" remarked the young
mayor emphaticaly, II want to say
that Chicago has been misrepresented
and misunderstood. 1t is not the wide
open city that many outsiders suppose.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored 10 its
normal condition, hearing viii be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is noth-
ing but an infaE1ed condition OF tile
mucous surfaces.

December II. 1861. His life was ush-
cred in with a storm-accompaniment
OF musket balls for rain-drops and ex-
ploding artillery for thunder. at a
time when the smoke Of battles Of the
Rebellion drifted heavily over our
sorrowing country; but the dawn Of
freedom was breaking and it she'd a
generous light over the new man that
has been reflected again and again
from his tnirty-two years Of life in
many deeds of kindness. Mr. Nathan
was educated in the Lancaster schools
aud later graduated from the Dubuque
Business college. Il was in the latter
city that he formed the acquaintance
Of Miss Ada NJ. LeVan, to whom he
was united ID marriage On February 4,
1855, at Dubuque. Iowa. Mr.. Nathan

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK Oct. 16.-There was nothing to
indicate any urgent covering of short con-
tracts in tcday's market, as is very often
campaign. The market showed firm tone
but the fluctuations were very narrow and
best. The losses were in. sympathy with a
break of * in Manhattan, on short sales and
of a point in Chicago Cas- which was the
most striking demonstration by the bears
during the day. Both parties in the market
seemed equally apathetic. There was good
buying in the two leading specialties-Chicago
Gas and Sugar-the former equally attributed
to a purpase of inside interests to asquire
stock and vancouver to squeeze the shorts
Missouri Pacific suffered to some extent, prob
ably in sympathy with the drive against
Manhattan. Union Pacific exhibited some de-
