ASIDE from Col. McCord, all the
aspirants for the governorship are
engaged in attempting the impos-
sible feat of lifting themselves by
the straps Of their boots. No cf-
fort is being made to urge their
own efficiency, but desperate eff
forts are being put forth to blacken
the character of Col. McOord. 1t
is an old axiom and true one
thet it is impossible for a person to
elevate himself or add to his own
personal worth by tearing down
the character of another. Calm
observers are led to believe that
all the hue and cry raised is for the
purpose of keeping the public eye
off their own records. No man has
yet rode into public favor by as
sailing his competitor Manly
men stand on their own merits

DIED FOR HER SON.
Heroic Act of Mother in Rhode ISL

FaWtucket, r. l., November 1e.-While
trying to save the life of her six-year-ol
son Henry this morning, Mrs. Arthur
fortin, 35 years of age, was struck by a
train near the village of st. Jean Baptiste

and son were instantly killed.
The East Providence branch of the

and as the passenger train from Fall
River to Blackstone, due at Valley Falls
as 9.45, reached that vicinity this morn
ing the engineer saw the little boy out on
the track. He reversed his engine and
blew the whistle.
The lads mother heard the whistle and
from her dooryard, beside the track, saw
her boy on the track and the rapidly ap-
preaching train. With a scream she tried
to save the boy. The child WAS bewildered
and did not move. The mother reached
his side and heized him and at that
moment the engine struck them both,
throwing them to one aside.
The bodies were taken on the train to
Valley Falls, where they were viewed by
Medical Exam iner Marshall.

PAUL PERRY SHOOTS LOUIS
KING THREE TIMES.

Shooting the Result of Quarrel over the
Victims Wife-Pcrry Country Good
form Nothing-Sheriffs Start for Scene
of Trouble.
Eustis, Maine, November 18.-Lewls
King, thirty years old, and married, was
thrice shot by Paul Perry, this afternoon
as the outcome of a long standing feuo.
Both men are French Canadians but
have lived there for several years. The
Immediate quarrel arose over the accusa-
tion by King that Perry had been paying
undue attention to Kings wife. After an
exchange of words Perry is said to have
drawn q revolver and discharged one
bullet into Kings arm, another in the
face and the third in the shoulder. Each
wound was severe one, but no danger of
death is feared
Perry is well known in the neighbor-
hood and from the fact that he had no
regular trade, was looked upon as being
rather shiftless. He accused King of
violating the liquor law and had been
actively engaged in securing evidence
against him. This was probably an in
cident in the quarrel which caused both
men to lose their temper.
After the shooting Perry left town, but
is being tracked until Sheriff Blake Of
Pennington can reach here and join Jhe
searching party.

Washington, November 1s.-Senor Du-
puy de LONE, the Spanish minister had
long conference with Assistant Secretary
Day this morning, and it is believed that
the Spanish government is voluntarily
about to remove another troublesome
factor from the field Of negotiations in
revoking the decree made by General
Weyl prohibiting the expectation of
tobacco from Cuba This prohibition has
worked great hardship upon large Ameri-
can cigar makers interests, and up to this
time all efforts OF the state department to
secure an amelioriation of the conditions
of the decree have beerp unnyailing. 1t
now seems probable that the decree will
soon be vacated. Reports come to WASH
ington to the effect that the new crop of
tobacco that will be ripe in February Is
of excellent quality and amounts to four
ffths of an average crop. Buyers for
foreign consumption are already In the
field looking over the plantations and it
is expected that to facilitate sales the
revocation of the decree of prohibition
will soon be made.
