painful surprise to her many friends to
learn about a year ago that the couple had
agreed to separate and that a divorce
was being sued for. Finding that they
were no longer congenal, they thought it
best TO separate. Mr.. Boodgood desired
a divorce but his wife objected. There
had been a child by the marriage and she
was averse to the notoriety of a divorce
for its sake.

M'LEAN WILLING TO
HEAD THE TICKET
Is Candidate for the Democratic
Nomination for Governor
in Ohio

WASHINGTON, July John r. Nc
Lean. questioned to-day as TO whether he
would be a candidate for the Ohio Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination, made
this statement:
IF the Democrats of Ohio give me the
nomination and my friends ask me to take
it I will accept"
While there has been much agitation
recently about the proprietor of the Gin
cinnatl Enquirer being a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Governor,
yet his friends made no open or pubic
declarations here until to-day.
The declarations to-day were due to re-
ports sent out to the fact that Daniel Nc
Conville and other friends of Mr.. Nc
Lean were in conference here and claimed
Mr.. Mclean was already assured of the
nomination by the GAINESVILLE convention
next month. There are other candidates
for the nomination and some e them
have canvassed the State very thorough
ly. The most prominent candidate in the
field is probably Colonel James Kiibourne
of Columbus.
1t is stated also that there is a move
ment for Allen w. Thurman for second
place on the national ticket with Mr..
Bryan next year and that the candidacy
of Mr. Mclean this year for Governor
would give him such prestige as possibly
to interfere next year with Thurman for
Vice President as well as with hilbourne
and others this year for Governor.

A DOMESTIC SCANDAL

ladies had escaped most fortunately.
Then came the climax to the comedy
Mr.. Scheib appeared to tell Rathom
that Mrs. Rathom must leave the State
at once and agree in writing to permit
Rathcm to secure divorce. The di-
vorce of Rathom and Mrs. Rathom
was no concern of Scheib, but it was
a matter of vital moment to his friend,
Miss Campbell Scheib had seen very
little Of Miss Campbell after she had
left his home, but his wife had seen
much of the lady. Scheib insisted that
Mrs. Rathom had sent the poisoned
candy. but how he discovered the as
sumed fact is not known. Miss Camp
bell had not told either him or his wife,
as the Oakland lady had not disap
peared from the scene until after Miss
Campbell had disappeared from the
Scheib house not to return.
Mr. Scheibs business instinct also
asserted itself, and he demanded $50
from Mrs. Rathom to pay the physician
who had attended Mrs. Scheib. The
money was not paid and Mrs Rathom
has not left the State. In this way the
affair appears to be ended. Rathom is
quite sure that neither his wife nor
Miss Campbell sent the poisoned cher
ries, and he is positive that he did not
do so. He was around town last night
with Miss Campbell making these as
surances.
Mr.. Scheib Is authority for the state
ment that neither he nor his wife is
guilty and the police declare emphatic
ally that nobody intended to poison
anybody and that no poisoned cherries
went through the mails.

DETROIT, July THE mooted ques-
ton Of the number of people brought
into Detroit by the Christian Endeavor
convention cropped out at the outset OF
to-night's meeting in Tent Endeavor,
when Secretary Baer took occasion to
publicly criticize the Detroit news
papers for stating that the influx Of
delegates from other States was not
nearly as great as had been anticipated
in the local committees estimate. Mr..
Baer had no statement yet to make rs
to the attendance as compared with
other years He promised to make one
later, but he called on all Endeavorers
present to rise. A large majority OF
those present stood up which Mr.. Baer
assumed to be proof Of his view Of the
attendance question.
The newspapers estimate of the total
visitors is 10000 in round numbers. Mr..
Baer denied that anybody connected
with Christian -Endeavor committees
had ever told Detroit people that they
had reason to expect $4,000 Endeavor-
ers would attend AT all events the
secretary insisted that the Christian
Enqeavor tents had never before been
so crowded.
Bishop B. w Arnot (colored) presided
over the tent Endeavor meeting to-
night. The Rev. DR.. Quayle of Indian
apolis, one of the speakers on the even
ing programme, was announced to have
been called to Kansas to the bedside of
his dying father. Silent prayer was Of
fered in behalf of DR.. Quayle. The de-
votional exercises We're led by r. r.
Patterson of San Francisco, the mo-
ments of meditation and prayer by
Rev. George E. Soper of st. Paul.
The address of the evening was by
Rev. John Henry Barrows of Oberlin
College. During its delivery the rain
again descended, increasing until the
noise on the roof almost drowned the
sound of Dr. Barrows' voice and he was
compelled to desist. Umbrellas We're
raised all over the tent, but compara-
lively few left and the crowd stayed
and sang song after song, overcoming
all sounds of the storm and all ideas of
increasing discomfort At length the
rain ceased long enough to allow DR..
BarrOws to proceed.
Largely attended evangelistic SER
vices We're held during the noon hour at
factories and public squares throughout
the city. The afternoon was given up
to conferences in the larger churches.
