The appointment of Elihu Root as the
successor of Gen. Alger susta1ns the prev
alent political view of the retirement of
the man from Michigan. He was forced
out of the cabinet. He was forced out
moreover, to advance the interests and
leadership of Thomas B. Platt Platt
has rong struggled for a place in the
cabinet for one of his retainers. He has
been unable to get it. His commitment
of the delegation from New York to the
nomination of Mckinley a year and a
half before the event has resulted in his
receiving his reward.
The political deal thus plainly consum-
mated is one which VIII prove decidedly
to the advantage of the administration.
1t enables it to set rid Of a most I'M
popular character. 1t secures the pres
ence in the cabinet of its only able man,
a man whose ability and influence in his
party are universally recognized through
out the state of New York. The vote of
the New York Republican delegation,
which is thus secured, VIII substantially
remove all other candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination among Republicans
1t virtually secures the denomination of
Mckinley without opposition.
The state of Michigan does not weigh
IL the balance against the political pos
sessions Of Senator Plat Alger may be
elected 10 the senate from Michigan or
he may be beaten. The result matters
but little to the administration or its
nominal head so far, at least, as relates
to the Republican presidential nomina-
ton. 1t may matter sornewat when the
delivery Of the electoral vote Of Michi-
gan is in issue; and it is hardly too
much to say that If Pingree and his
friends, acting in concert with Alger and
his, set themselves to the task of beat
ing Mckinley in that. state, the result
will not be very difficult of accomplish
ment. In any event, the swapping off of
New York for Michigan, which has been
thus VIGOROUSLY effected through the
substitution of Platt's man, Root, for
Alger, is to be regarded as a profitable
one for all but Alger.

Mother shipton,s Propbecv,

Correspondent. Red Wing-Mother Ship
ton in 1913 predicted a lot of wonderful
things. She missed it wofuIly, however,
as to one matter. She said the world
would come to an end in 1881 Doubtless
she meant it would come to an end in
some other 81. Here are remarkable
verses:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world mans thoughts shall
fly
In the twinlling Of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do.
How strange! but yet they shall be true
The world upside down shall be.
And gold be found at the root of a tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green.
Iron on the water shall float
AS easily as wooden boat
Gold shall be found and shown
In lands now not known.
England shall at last admit a Jew,
And fire and water shall wonders do.
The world to an end shall come
In 1881.

BOLD ROBBER RECAPTURED.
Hogan, Who Escaped From the Ohio
Penitentiary, Again In Custody.

COLUMBUS, o., July 23.-Timothy Ho-
gan, the noted mail box robber who es-
capped from the penitentiary May last,
was returned to the penitentiary last
night. He stated that inside twenty-four
hours from the time of his capture he
would have been enlisted in the regular
army. He was returned last night dressed
in the uniform of a soldier and q light hat
He undoubtedly intended to leave for one
of the newly acquired islands and there
remain as soldier.
In speaking of his escape from the pen
itentiary in a box, he said he was about
to give up more than once and call for
help, as one of the Stats had become
loosened from the box in which he was
confined and the tobacco was falling
upon him, almost smothering him
He had a knife with him to cut hole
in the box in case he needed more air.
but refrained from doing it for fear of
detection. AS soon as the boxes were
unloaded he kicked off one of the Stats
with his foot and escaped from his hid
ing place. He left Columbus the next
day. He refused to reveal his wherea-
bouts up to the time of his capture.

EVILS OF THE DAY

discussed IN PASTORAL Letter Is
sued by Bishop McFauI.
TRENTON, N. J., July 23-Bishop Nc
F'aul discussed the evils of the day in a
pastoral letter read in all the churches
of the diocese today and fixed July %, 20
and so as days for special devotion to the
sacred heart as a preliminary to the
pope's jubilee, which begins on Christ
mas of this year, and ends at Christmas
OF next year. In his letter the bishop
says that erroneous principles regarding
the end Of man have rendered society
unmindful of the cultivation, not only Of
supernatural virtue, but of those natural
virtues which great men even among the
pagans endeavor to propagate.
Who is it," he says, who is at all
acquainted with the condition Of society
in our own beloved country that will be
disposed to deny the unspeakable de-
pravity Of morals which confronts us?'
The bishop then quotes a writer who
says that vast combinations depress the
price of labor and increase the cost of
the necessaries of existence and that the
rich as rule despise the poor and the
poor as rule are coming to hate the
rich and both sides are arrayed in hostile
camps. The bishop says that this picture
may be overdraWn, but it is necessary to
recall men to the necessities Of their
state and their own salvation.

ALGER's FRIENDS ACTIVE.
Reception to the Secretary Upon His
Return to Detroit.


DETROIT. Mich, July 2S.-Plans for
the reception of Secretary Alger upon his
return to his home In this city were par
TALLY completed at a meeting held this
afternoon. Gen. Alger will be met by
the reception committee at some point
en- route from Washington. On arrival
he will be met by all the marching or
CARNATIONS of the city which care to join
in the demonstration. The general will
be escorted to the city hail. where a
formal presentation to the gathered
crowds will be made in front of the hall
by the mayor and governor. Then there
will be public reception in the corridor
of the city hall, followed by a meeting,
probably in Light Guard armory, where
opportunity for the expression of the
sentiments of prominent citizens will be
had.
Gov. Pingree during today's meeting
favored the idea of holding a genuine
Indignation" meeting following the pub
lie reception. Mayor Maybury raised the
question whether such expression would
not embarrass and displease Gen. Alger
rather than otherwise, but the governors
mass meeting idea prevailed.

TOLEDO, O., July 23.-The elevator of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road,
located in East Toledo, was totally de-
stroyed by fire tonight and the loss on
building and contents will figure nearly
q million dollars. 1t is not known how
much insurance was carried on the grain,
amounting to 10000 bushels of wheat,
but the building carries $1S5.0OO in various
companies. The fact that this was Sun
day prevented the fatalities which might
have followed, for the forty men employ
ed there had quit work early and had
been out Of the place about two hours
The Waterman had made once the
rounds of the building and had found
everything safe and was on his way up
to the top on his second trip. He was
not aware there was a fire, but observers
noticed a small blaze in the cupoIa An
alarm was Immediately turned in, but
before the fire department arrived a ter
rife explosion took place. A mass of
flames shot up into the air hundreds of
feet.
The building was almost immediately
enveloped and within ten minutes an
other explosion occurred, which tore out

NEW YORK, July 23-The fact that
cars were run on all BROOKLYN lines ,,ndar
tuII Roadway today shows that the strike
is practically dead. To the seaside re-
sorts traffic was more general than it was
last sunday, but the public did not take
advantage of the improving service
probably owing to the fear Of possible
disturbances, which have so far marked
the aftermath of the strike The striISers
admit that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company ran more cars to the seaside re-
sorts today than any day since the
strike was ordered.
President Rossiter was jubilant and re-
lterated the statement that the strike
was practically over He said,

that If a certain portion of the press or

CONTRACTORS ATTACKED.
Serious Trouble the Result of Inn
porting Negro LabOrers.


LAWRENCEBURG, KY, July %
Serious trouble has grown out Of the
feeling between local labOring men and
the contractors and laborers brought
here by the Kentucky DistilIeries and
Warehouse company to build it's NAM
moth warehouse now in process of con-
struction. A large number of negroes
were brought here and placed in a
camp. Today D. Monahan and ]. Hig-
gins, the contractors, arrived on train
from Nicholasville. They were met by d
committee representing the local work
men, and quarrel arose. A crowd soon
gathered, and the contractors were stOn-
ed and otherwise roughly handled. Hig
gins was cut several times, and is in
serious condition.
The crowd then made it's way to the
negro camp. Several volleys were fired
into it. but no one was injured. The
negroes fled panic-strucken from the
place Almost the entire population IS
dependent upon the distilleries for. sup
port, and it is thought the success of to .
days movement may lead to serious
trouble if another attempt is made to i'm
port workmen.

saved his life. He was only slightly in

department was futile, most of their en-
ergies being directed toward saving ad-
joining property.
