TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 30.-Dr. Ly-
man Pike died last night from blood poison
ing caused by the bite of woodticks. He
was seventy-three years of age and had
been a physician for more than fifty years
thirty years ago. Last summer. while in
Kentucky, he spent much of his time
gathering herbs and roots which he used
in medical preparations. While doing so he
was bitten by the woodticks. AT first his
legs showed the effects of the poison, and
at the time of his death his body and head
were also swollen to twice their normal
size. He had been unable to swallow food
for some days before DEATH. He left a
widow, but no children.

Dewey Doomed for President.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-The World will
Tomorrow print an interview with William
G. Whitney on the availability of Admiral
Dewey as a presidential candidate.
You regard him as the natural selection
Tor the presidency, chosen by the order of
events?" the reporter asked.
Il am convinced replied Mr.. Whitney.
that his selection would be something very
time than a party victory. 1t would be a
patriotic reunion around the one man who
typifes the new era and is best fitted by
his character and experience to preside over
Its development. Dewey gave us the ships.
He understands the situation out there as
no other man does. The people would trust
him TO deal with II more completely than
they would any other man. They would
rather see him at the helm, directing the
policy o. the government in its new posses
sions, than any other man.. They know thar
he ALWAYS has done the right thing, and
they would feel sure that he always would
do the right thing.
This trust of the people in Dewey is the
great fact that dominates the situation.
They trust him implicitly. With him In the
White House they would have absolute con-
fdence that a wise. right, patriotic course
would be taken and firmly kept. 1t is a
great opportunity which this fact offers the
Nation. 1t is only at long intervals and on
special occasions that Providence presents
a man In whom the whole people have this
unquestioning and perfect trust. 1t gave us
such a man in Washington. 1t gave us an
other in Jackson. II gave us another in
Grant. Now 1t has given US Dewey"

FEAST OF A CLAY EATER.
Fine kaOlfn Specimens Devoured by
Georgia Negress.

Georgia NeEress.
ATLANTA, Ca. Oct 17.-One of Geor-
gia's negro clay eaters has turned up in
the person of a scrub woman employed at
the Capitol here. who is charged with de-
youring some Of the finest specimens of
kaolin on exhibition in the State geologi-
cal department The geologist discovered
yesterday that five blocks Of clay, which
he valued very highly. because Of their
great purity, We're missing, and upon ex-
amining some Of the other specimens he
found on them the imprint of teeth.
Detectives were set to work upon the
case, with the result that Annie Williams,
a negro employed to scrub the marble
floors was accused of taking the specimens
The detectives were led to the end of a
hall, where behind box, was found some
of the clay and a snuff box belonging to
the woman. There were traces OF clay
still upon her lips. She was taken in
charge by Adiutant General Byrd.
The woman seems to have a mania for
mineral specimens, and there are indica
uons that she has been indulging her
strange appetite for some time. The kao-
est fondness, is fine clay, which the State
geologist recently compared with the clays
OF other States and found that it stood the
highest fire test. The specimens taken
were 81 1-2 per cent pure clay.
The clay is pressed and is of about the
same consistency pencil lead.

that these eXcesses would cease as soon as
court time came en-. The jury failed 10
find and indictments.
Judge Reveil then called the attention of
the jury to the fact that because all was
orderly. serene. and quiet now, it was not
proper to ignore what had been done, but
that they should ferret out and punish
those who had committed these offences;
that strangers were generally the parties
who were needed as witnesses, which made
il difficult 10 discover the perpetrators, but
