DOGS WIT SAVES HIS MASTER
He Renders Valuable Aid to n Man
Up n Tree.

New York, Oct. 22.-Almon Hewitt. of
HopeweI Township near Trenton, N j..
is nut-gatherer. His only companion
ed "Glim."
Hewitt had shaken all the limbs on one
side of a tree up which he had
climbed, and was working his way
toward the ground on the other, when
he stepped on a bough that was weak 1t
broke and he fell. But the back of his
coat caught on a broken limb. and there
he hung in midair, thirty feet from the
ground. in such a position that he could
not do anything TO release himself or
get hold OF any part of the tree. He
was five miles from the nearest house.
and there was no probability of any one
passing that way.
Gfim was worried over his masters pre-
dicament. He danced about under the
dangling man and expressed his sympat thy
in short, sharp yelps. For an hour he
kept this up. Then he sat down on the
ground and seemed to be buried in
thought. Silent he sat for FIVE minutes;
then he sprang up. wagged his tail and
gave short bark and, disappeared among
the trees.
Hewitt lost heart. He thought his dog
nau deserted MIN ana tnat ne was doomed
to die a lingering death by starvation. For
two hours he hung, racking his brain for
some plan by which he might get back to
earth. Then he gave up in despair.
1t was getting late in the afternoon when
Hewitt saw Glim dashing through the for
est He danced around under his master,
wig-wagging encouragement with his tail.
barking joyously, and then disappeared
again. A few minutes later two of Hew-
it's neighbors hove in sight. Glim had
gone after them and brought them to
the assistance of his master.
The only way of getting Hewitt down
was to cut off the branch and let him fall
One of the men went back and brought
three other neighbors, a heavy blanket
and a rifle. While four of the men held
the blanket under Hewitt, Elias Trow-
bridge shot at the branch until 1t became
so weak that it gave way, and Hewitt
came down into the blanket.
Now nothing Is too good for Glim.

GENERAL LEES PLANS.
Undecided Whether 10 Enter tn,
Contest for senator.


Contest for senator.
Visiting Virginians are authority for
the statement that Major. Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee is doubtful about offering himself as
a candidate for the United States Senate
He is very anxious to go with his corps
TO Cuba, and his recent talks with some
OF the high Government officials indicate
that IT is the purpose OF the President to
keep troops in that island for fully one
year. 1t is quite possible that they may
have to remain there indefinitely, owing
to the element that will have to be dealt
with while order is being brought out of
chaos. Gen. Lee could not come home
TO engage in a political scramble and
during his absence he would stand little
chance OF defeating the wiry Senator
Martin. Gen. Lee is not rich and he can
hardly afford to surrender his commits
sion in the army. IL is pretty generally
understood also that he will be fixed with
snug thing in the regular army before
he reaches the retiring age
For these reasons he is said to be du-
bious about giving up a reasonably sure
thing TO re-enter politics. with the odds
against him al the start.

CHARGES BY SENATOR PENRosE
An Address the Affairs of the
Keystone Hank.

Philadelphia Oct 22-Senator Boies
Penrose addressed a Republican mass
meeting at the Academy of Music here
yesterday evening, when he took up the
| knife of the Quay faction, and carved
/ into the now famous Wanamaker speech
| delivered in the same building d week
ago.
He admitted that the ex-Postmaster
General was great factor in the present
gubernatorial, legislative and senatorial
night. and without his support DR.. Swal-
low would be at present practically out
of the contest.
His speech was built on the Keystone
Bank failure which occurred in this city
n 1890. The junior Pennsylvania senator
accused Mr.. Wanamaker of entering into
an oral agreement with Mr.. Lucas, the
president of the bank at the time.
He charged that the eX-POstmaster
General was a voting trustee of the
Reading Railroad Company whereby the
two could speculate with the bank funds
in Reading stock Mr.. Wanamaker, he
said agreeing to furnish the information,
/ and Er. Lucas to invest and speculate
with funds from the now defunct bank.
and that the two should equally divide
the profits.
The speaker said that Mr.. Lucas after
| ward died, and his widow had since en-
! tered suit against Mr. Wanamaker for
! Sl00,c00 as her dead husbands share Of
! the speculation now owing the estate,
and that this bill is still pending judg-
ment in the courts.
He also said that the ex-Postmaster
! General had more than 1000 surplus
! shares of the keystone Bank, and said
| that at one time the defunct bank held
more than $500. 600 of State funds, and that
these funds had been used for the pri-
/ vate speculation OF a surplus shareholder
| and the bank president.
Senator Penrose then brought up the
name of Cashier Marsh, who forfeited his
! $50 600 bail He said that Marsh was the
| cashier of the keystone Bank at the time
Of these alleged speculations. and that If
the ex-cashier should return he would
| have to, in defense of himself, give out
| the facts of these transactions, and that
Mr. Wanamakers request for the return
of Marsh and to uncover the lid of these
secrets would place the eN-Postmaster
General in an extremely embarrassing po-
| sition.
Senator Matthew S. Quay has decided
to take the stump and answer the charges
preferred against him by Mr.. Wanamak-
er. The Senator will speak at the Acade-
my of Music next week and incidentally
! reply to the attacks made against him
| by DR.. Swallow, the ''Thou-shalt-not-
| steal candidate for governor.
| EX-Postmaster General Wanamaker
will address a mass meeting at the Acad-
| emy of Music on Saturday evening of
next week In addition to Mr.. Wana-
| maker several other prominent speakers
1 will be heard, and ii is reported that
/ Stereopticon views of the papers of the
Peoples Bank touching upon the recent
/ proceedings brought against Senator
/ Quay and others Will be shown.

GOVERNOR PINGREE's VAIL.
Compirins That Federal 0fficehOId

Detroit, Oct. 22-The fight between Gov
Pingree and the old regime, as represent

ried to President Mckinley through the
agency of an open letter by Pingree,
which begins:
''As governor of Michigan I deem it my
duty to call TO your attention certain
matters of vital Importance to every tax
payer"
Then he recites how the Atkinson bill

ate if they will vote against the men who

conduct on the part of Federal appointecs
can but react not only upon the candi-
date for Congress but upon an Admins

kind to continue. BY unanimous action

ticket / deem it my duty to demand in
the interest Of the people of Michigan
that you compel those holding federal po-

In support of his charges Gov. Pingree

an attempt to influence c. H. Frost to

quiet was resumed.
How the pictures of the rival guberna-
torial candidates appeared in the gallery
is a mystery. Some of the men who
were seen last night were inclined to be-
lieve that they had been put up by some
officers who wanted to get the political
sentiment of the regiment. Col Wilder
said he had heard nothing of the incident,
but derided the idea that an officer was
responsible. The colonel expressed re-

w1FE's FIGHT FOR HER RIGHTS
Says Her Husband Married Another
just Before His Death

Philadelphia. Pa. Oct 22-AIice Thomp-
son. administrators of Walter W. Thomp-
son. yesterday began equity proceedings
against the treasurer of the Police Bene
ficiary Association.
She contends that she is the only legal
wife of Thompson, having been married
in 1889. but that Frances Moore is now
a beneficiary in certificate issued by
the Police Beneficiary Association upon
the life of Walter w. Thompson.
Thompson, she says, married Miss Moore
under an assumed name shortly before
his death. She asks that Frances Moore
be enjoined from collecting the money due
under the certificate.
