STORIES IN PASSING.

Before the plate glass window OF q
large department store, a mother left
standing a baby -carriage, containing
her sleeping infant. The hour was
early and there were few upon the
streets. But the small. fair, round face
with half-open, breathing mouth and
curly. golden hair, the soft. pink hands
claspsd tightly about their fat, little
thumbs, the chubby feet peeping from
under the coverlet, caught the eyes of the
passers-by and brought sympathetic
smile to their lips.
A fly buzzed about the carriage and
the child moved uneasily. A sunbeam
crept over the cornice and fell upon the
little face, and the child turned its head.
Then dog ran heavily against the car
riage. But the child did not wake.
The force Of the dog had its effect up
on the carriage. Slowly the wheels be-
gan to move down the sloping pave
ment The walk was deserted at that
moment and the carriage gained nc
mentum as it approached the curb.
A man up the street saw and hurried
to the spot. A woman on a passing car
glanced up and turned pale. The baby
carriage had reached the curb. Direct
ly before it horse was plcnging at its
rein in deadly fright.
The baby-carriage seemed to stop a
second at the curb. Then there was
crash o; splintsring wood, an animals
snort of fear, the stified scream of an in
fantis voice. and a white faced woman
came running from tie store.

Many years ago, fif;e,n or twenty pr

by the name OF Jim Everhart. His
wife kept millinery store and was the
principle factor in the support of the
family while John tinkered some with
an insurance company. He was an ar
dent Republican and strange to say was
anxious to have an Office. In his mind
the halo around an Office hol1er's head

in spite OF the small return he

says she does but ask the degree which
she has earned and they tell her to be

higher rank than had ever been earned
at Cambridge before had nothing to do
with the case. She was a woman and
had ventured to compete with men and
she deserved the scorn which centuries

This feeling that slavery is q divine

England whence faculties, and heads
Of faculties are recruited. The west
and particularly Nebraska is influenced
by this prejudice. In all the great
coeducational universities of the west,
except in Nebraska there are women
who are deans OF faculties. In the
Nebraska faculty there is one woman
who has but lately been presented
with vote. In the universities
of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,

of women in the faculty is nearly
as large as the proportion of young

Arrest of Henry B. Foulke. The
osophist Leader.
ANN o'DELIA DIS De BAR WAS WITH HIM.
Fifty Of Their Followers, Alleged to be
Guilty of Immoral Practices, 1t is
Said VIII Also Fall Into the
Hands of the Law.

CHICAGO. Nov. "a special to the
Record from Onset Bay, Mass. says:
The arrest and casting into Jail of
Henry Il. Foullxe, who has posed as the
leader of theosophists and spiritualists
of this country, has revealed an appall-
ing condition of affairs.
The charge against Foulke is made
by agents of the Massachusetts, Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren. who avow that their investlga-
tions of month past warrant the ar
rest of at least fifty others of the new
cult here, and they say that warrants
will be applied for at once.
Foullxe was taken into custody at his
cottage here, which has been the
temple of the self-proclaimed theos-
ophists. The arrest was made by
Officers b. l. Loring and Z. p. Smy the,
OF .the complainant society, and the
prisoner was hurriedly driven to Ware
ham and locked up. Later he was ar
raigned in court, pleaded not guilty,
and was bound over in 81. 500 bonds, in
default of which he was Immediately
removed to Jail Mms. Ann Odella Dis
De Bar, his associate In the
management of the headquarters
OF the cult, spent the greater
part of the night and morning in
scurrying around trying to secure bail,
but without success. Thursday was the
date set for the trial of Foulke. Off,
Ger Loring, the prosecutor, says that
the case is the worst which has ever
been called to his attention.
Officer Smythe and myself" said
Mr.. Loring. have been spending
great deal of our time for more than a
year obtaining evidence, and before we
have dropped the matter horrible state
of affairs will be brought to light We
have been watching Foulke and num-
Der OF other so-called theosophists and
spiritualists at Onset Bay for long
time, but not until last night were we
ready to make an arrest When we de-
cided on the move we went to the tenn
pie. and to our surprise we found
Foulke and Mme. Dis De Bar had all
of their goods packed and were in
readiness to leave the place. We pre-
ferred only one charge against Foulke,
but we have sufficient evidence to con-
all of it before the grand jury If Foulke
were the only person against whom we
have the most startling evidence of inn
morality, the case wouldn't be so bad,
but before we get through some fifty
of the theosophists will be brought in
to court"
The news has made a sensation in
this section. Some time ago the
theosophist renounced Foulke, and re-
fused to have anything to do with
his beliefs or his claims to
leadership. Since then he has
been working with Mime. Dis De

organize the new cult. One of his plans

of reindeer trained to harness. He
also has two Lapps and several Eslxi-

food supply until reindeer transporta-

FRANKFORT. KY, Nov. Selection
day was ushered in by bloody en-
counter on the streets between repub-

death of three men and the wound
ing OF two or more The diff
Guilty began by Frank Egbert republi-
can, organizing party to head off
party of democrats under the leader
ship of Ben. Marshal, who, Egbert
claimed, had taken a number of me-
groes to the country to prevent their
voting. Egbert, it is said, with his party,
awaited MarshaPs return, and fred
on him from ambush, wounding him
and Smith seriously, and slightly in
Turing Alex Graham, a negro. Deputy
Sheriff DealSins then organized posse,
and attempted to arrest Egbert and
his party. The latter appeared
on the street brandishing their
revolvers. The two parties met and
firing began. Fifty shots or more
were fred, and Egbert was instantly
killed, while Deakins was mortally
wounded. Howard Glore. one OF Egg
berts men. was also killed. and Walter
udihes, negro, severely hurt. 1t is
reported that he has died.
Mayor Julian organized large BODY
of special policemen in view of the ex-
element, as he feared further trouble
at the polls, owing to bitter feeling be-
tween the workers of the two parties
and the friends of the men killed and
injured. The merest trifie of a quarrel
