Miss Lizette Collins of Danbury and
Miss Anna e. Troy of Newtown are
guests of Miss Marie Darcy, Comstock
avenue, Providence, r. L. They went to
Providence to witness the ceremony of
the annual reception of the Sisters of
Mercy, last Monday, at the convent in
that city. Miss Helen Collins entered
the convent at that time. She is sister
of Miss I4zette Collins. She will be
known as Sister Mary Andrew. The
Providence Telegram says: The cere-
monies incident to the reception and pro-
fession were of the most elaborate char
acter, Ri Rev Bishop Harkins, pre-
siding, assisted by the very Rev Thomas
E. Doran and Rev William j. Payne.
Rev DR. McGee acted as master OF cere-
MONIES. The scene in the chapel during
the services was an inspiring one. The
young women who consecrated them
selves to God were supported by the
presence OF large number of their
friends who were seated in the rear of
the chapel. There were perhaps 80 or
40 eiergymen present and they occupied
seats on the right and left Of the altar.
The Sisters we're seated on both sides OF
the altar, and the center OF the
sanctuary was left for the candidates and
novices, who knelt directly In front Of
the altar. the whole making as pretty 9
iacene as one would wish TO behold. The
ceremony Of receiving candidates ant
novices into the order Of sisterhood il
perhaps one OF the most solemn known
to the Roman Catholic religion. Tn,
ceremony at this time was watched will
interest by those who were present, and
Ialthough quite long none tired Of 1t.

Cotton Seed Oil Combine.

The Continental Cotton Oil Com
pany, which was recently formed
by the consolidation of six of tie
largest cotton seed oil companies
in Texas, with a capital of Sc, 900,
600, is disturbed over the prospect
of being prosecuted for violation
of the Texas antitrust law. Gov.
Sayers received a letter from G. l..
Rathbone of New York City, pres
ident of the company, protesting
that the combination is not in the
nature of a trust. The governor
referred the letter to Attorney Gen
eral T. s. Smith, who has written
President Rathbone that, if it il
found, upon investigation, that
the company is not a trust, it will
be welcomed to the state, but if il
should be shown to be a trust il
will be prosecuted. Attorney
General Smith states that he will
thoroughly investigate the CONSOLE
dation of these six Texas cotton
seed oil companies, and that the,
will be prosecuted if the deal is il
violation of the antitrust law.

M'kiNLEY TO RETIRE.
Has Expressed . Desire TO Decline Re-
nominatIon-Then Comes Roosevelt.

Has Expressed q Desire TO Decline Re-
nominatIon-Then Comes Roosevelt
Washington, Aug. 13.-A prom
inent Western politician now In the
city is authority for the statement
that many of President McKinley's
close friends expect him to decline
to be candidate for denomination.
This gentleman was a member
of the last House and recently has
come from a short vacation spent
among former colleagues in Ney
England. At a small dinner given
in Newport a few days ago. at
tended by two Republican members
of the House who have always been
answering supporters of President
Mckinley, the conversation turned
upon politics and the probable can
didates for 1900 These gentlemen
stated positively their understand
ing to be that Mr.. Mckinley had
expressed his desire to retire from
politics at the end of his term, and
their belief that he would not be
urged by Mark Hanna and his
closest advisers to decide differently.
They stated that the presidents
intention had been expressed not
long ago at a conference with GER
tain New York Republicans, just
previous to the appointment Of
Elihu Root to be secretary of war.
While the qualifications of Root
were being considered, the New
Workers took occasion to discuss at
some length the general political
situation, and especially the lack
of support which the Eastern states
are giving to the administration
policy in the Philippines. 1t de-
velOped that the president was fol-
lowing closely to the tcne of the
Eastern press, and. with great re-
gret, recognized the fact that he
did not have behind him his party
in the states of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Pennsylvania.
To suggestion made by one Of
the gentlemen at the conference
that Mr.. Mckinley was the logical
nominee for 1900. the president re-
called the fact that no president
had succeeded himself since 1872,
although a number of excellent men
had made the effort to do so. He
stated, also, it is said. that his
health had been impaired, and that
the White House had imposed many
burdens from which both he and
Mrs. Mckinley would not be sorry
to be released.
He referred also to the thousands
of friends estranged by failure to
receive desired appointments; and
he added with positiveness that if
Republican success in hitherto re-
liable states was to be endangered
by his denomination, as now seem
ed inevitable. he would decline the
honor, gratefully, but with firm
ness.
The Republicans at the Newport
dinner predicted at the proper time
President Mckinley would make
public announcement of this posi-
sition. and that the support of the
administration would go to Gov
ernor Roosevelt of New York.

with anxious spectators who began
to assemble there long before court
convened this morning.

More Troops For Otis.

Washington, Aug 13.-It was
learned this afternoon that Secre-
tary Root contemplates increasing
the American forces in the Phil
ippines beyond the $4,000 already
provided. While no definite num-
Der has been determined upon, the
question of enlisting more volun-
teers is seriously considered. Gen
eral Miles favors this step. Secre-
tary Root said today that at pres
ent the department was preparing
to give Otis an average of so, 900
men before the middle of Novem-
ber and added that more would be
sent if needed.
Indications now are that Otis
will be retained in command.

One of the James Gang

Liberty, Mo-. Aug. 12.- jim"
Cummings, who was a member of
the James gang. has come back to
his old home in the northern part
of Clay county. after an absence of
% years.
He was indicted in 1874 for
stealing a neighbOr's S horse, and he
will answer to the charge if called
upon. He may not be prosecuted,
as the horse was recovered, and it
is doubtful if he could be convicted.
Cummings has been in various
parts of the country, and states
that he served as Deputy United
States Marshal at Eureka Springs,
Ark, for a while. He has been
reported dead several times. His
name was recalled vividly when
in 1887, Wittrock, the man who
robbed the Adams Express com
pany at st. Louis, assumed it.

NAVY TO THE RESCUE.
Now Cooperating with the Army to
MAINTAIN Strict Blockade.

MantaIn Strict Blockade.
New York, Aug. 13.-A special
dispatch to the Herald from Wash
ington says:
Serious consideration is beng
given by the authorities to the
question of suppressing the legal
trading in the Philippines and the
territory under their control and
the outside world. The situation
is complicated. according to ad-
vices from General Otis, by the
action of Aguinaldo in interdicting
traffic between the natives of sea-
ports not under the control of the
American forces and ships of
American register. This inter
diction, General Otis says, is in
relation for his action in issuing
license to persons in Manila to con-
tinue trading in the staple products
of the island.
Military officers say the native
inhabitants of Manila now rely
largely upon their commercial trad
ing transportations for their liveli-
hood, and they see in AguinaldO' S
decree an attempt to stop the trade
between Manila and other organ
lied points in the hope Of throwing
starving city on General Otis
hands. Authorities are much ex
ercised over the possibility of a
general smuggling Of hemp and rice
These articles have appreciated in
value 300 per cent and the immense
gain to be secured is a great temp
tation to smugglers.
Rear Admiral Watson is CO.
operating with the army to prevent
the continuance of the illegal trad.
ing, and in a dispatch to the navy
department today he announced
that on account of the necessity OF
preventing such trading he would
be unable to send any of his ships
north, as advised by Acting Secre-
tary Allen.
AT a conference held by Secre-
tary of War Root with Acting
Secretary of the Navy Allen the
advisability of rroclaiminga a block
ade of certain ports was discuss
ed but on account of the statu
which such action would give to
the struggle in the islands it is
doubtful if action of a formal
character will be taken. A block

devoted to the use of the band and had
a special overhead arrangement of elec-

day.

plauded every number to the echo
Carriages, bicycles, riding parties
porch parties, golf parties from the
Country club, picnickers returning in
groups from the parks and from Lake
Ariel gathered about the curbS and
fringed the terraces, while little chill
dren danced in every available space

the balconies at their lofty elevation
was something to remember. The my.
