TO GIVE sCHLEY A HOME.
Endless Chain Scheme Proposed By
Miss Edna Mcclellan. 3a

Tho New York Journal says: "Roar

Edna Mcclellan among his vory warm
friends and supporters, and if hor plan
succeeds ho will have something sub.
stantial to be grateful for.
Miss Mcclellan, who 10 young aud
pretty, and tho daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Weller Mcclellan of No. 1O5
West Seventh street, was much i'm
pressed by the tremendous applause for
Admiral Schley in tho Dowoy day pa
rade.
She decided that Admiral Schlcy
should have house in Washington, .as
we'll as Admiral Dewey. She saw no
reason why Schlcy's admirers should
not come forward with their dollars and
dimes. She returned to her home and
laid out a plan for the work which has
just been begun. She has started end
less CHAINS to raise dimos. Subscrip-
tions in all amounts will bo gratefully
received. H
Miss Mcclellan will ask Gov. Roosc-
volt and Miss Hclcn Gould to be NOM
bcrs OF the committee to control tho
fund. She will ask tho assistance Of
President Mckinley and members of
his cabinet, and will go to Washington,
II necessary, to seek tho aid Of Repro
sontativos of congress.
Sho is very busy writing endless
chain letters to DO scnt to all parts Of
tho country. She is very confident Of
success.
Schlcy's admirers are legion, she
knows. She feels like all his friends,
that he has never received due credit
trom his government for tho splendid
victory off Santiago, and she believes
they will welcome an opportunity to
show their appreciation by substantial
contributions to this fund.
Miss Mcclellan has not considered
the price Of the residence to be pur-
chased nor the location, but she is con
fidcnt that this present from tho poo
pic OF the nation will bc worthy Of his
position as great naval commander.

city. Tho "den" contained "a stock Of
spurious coins, plating apparatus with
which to mako counterfeit coin, as we'll
as silver" The Constitution says:
"This raid and capture, believed to no

has recently occurred in tho South, has
solved tho mystory Of the counterfeit
silver with which the city has bccn pc
riodically flooded since last March.
For soven or eight months lot Of
counterfeit silver dollars and half dol
lars have been foatcd over the city, and
the spurious money was pronounced the
best that had ever been put in circula-

who could tell the money was counter

There are those who cry, Down with
the saloons! Well what would they give
the poor instead?
Gas. the bishop puts 1t, the poor man
goes from his home, with It's crying chill
dren and untidy wife, to the saloon,
where he finds light and heat and music.
Isn't that natural? The rich man goes to
his club and seeks quiet and companion
ship likewise.
Il believe one of the evils of club life is
that it tends to the neglect of the family.
The Squirrel Inn is a step in the right di-
rection. and the Mills hotel is also COM
mendable, and is a money-making con-
Germ. The saloon seems to me to be inc
vitable and l concur with Bishop Potters
views in every way
DR.. A Moses, rabbi of Temple Adas
Israel. said:
II heartily indorse every word Bishop
Potter has spoken. BY this utterance
upon the subject of saloons he has placed
himself on record among the great think
ers of the time. He is wise man, a good
man and brave man, for it took cour-
age of the highest type to say things
which he knew before he spoke would
in all probability meet with expressions
of disapproval from the clergy at large"

to suggest that the party in New York

Democracy was defined at Chicago and

A Jealous Wife shoots Her Hus
band. D.
Baltimore, Jan. 2S.--A woman, her hands
| and night robe stained with blood, sprang
| through the parlor window of her home.
on Amity street, at o'clock this morn
ing, screaming fire and murder. Her bare
feet, limbs and hands were gashed by
the broken window glass. Her screams
brought the neighbors and the police
They entered the house and found the
| woman's husband, Azariah Reckard aged
81 years. dying on bed. the coverings of
which were saturated with his blood. The
woman, Clementine Reckard, who had
been led back to her home by the police,
screamed like mad, became hysterical
and tried to tear her hair at the sight of
her dying husband. The man died in the
patrol wagon on the way to the hospital.
The woman was compelled to dress her
self and accompany the police to the
station house. At first she talked inco-
herently. This afternoon she informed
the police that she was awakened by the
report of a pistol and saw colored man
leaving the room. He leaped out of win
dow on to a back shed and escaped. Ter
ror-stricken, she says she fled down
stairs and, not finding the key of the
door, jumped out of al window. Detectives
| made an examination of the house. They
found no weapon, neither could they find
any trace of the escaping murderer that
would conform with the woman's story
The investigation resulted in placing
the widow under arrest. Reckard was
her second husband. Five years ago she
was divorced from. Richard Gonker
George Reckard, the murdered mans
nephew informed the detectives that his
uncles wife was an intensely jealous wo-
man. She was jealous of everybody with
whom her husband was acquainted hut
the nephew says she had no reason to be
jealous. The couple appeared on good
terms last night. Reckard, his relatives
say, had no enemies.
He carried a small life insurance in IA
vor of his wife. The detectives do not
believe the woman's story of the mys-
FERROUS man. The window by which the
woman claims he escaped was raised only
a few inches when the police arrived, and
had 1t been wide open there would have
been no more than enough room for an
average sized man to have forced his
way through The police say it is the
strangest case they have had to unravel
In many years. The widow is 81 years
old and of handsome face and figure.
The coroners jury late tonight held
Mrs. Reckard on the charge of murder
ing her husband. The pistol with which
the crime is supposed to have been COM
mttted was found in a sink in the rear
of the house. A storekeeper identified it,
and also Mrs. Reckard as the woman to
whom he had sold 1t yesterday.

4 THRILLING RUNAWAY
A Singular Accident Without a
-. Casualty.
TEAM GOT FRIGHTENED
The Horses Ran Clear Over the Top of q
Delivery Wagon, Leaving the
Sleigh on Top-Escaped
by q Hair.

About as thrilling and singular a runa-
way accident as has occurred in a long
time, not to be accompanied by any casu-
atty, occurred yesterday afternoon. Two
men, named Riley and Crelly, hired a
team from Langlois' stable to take a
sleigh ride. They were proceeding down
Granite street from Quartz when the
team got frightened, became unmanagea-
BILE and ran away. Reaching Granite,
they turned to go to the stable Directly
in front of the frightened animals, on
Granite, was a single delivery wagon of
the Brobeck grocery store, which was be-
ing driven leisurely along when the run
aways turned suddenly in behind it,
There was no time to get out of the way
and the runaways did not turn out, but
with a mighty leap, went right up over
the wagon and landed, one on each side
of the single horse, and leaving the
sleigh on top of the delivery wagon. The
occupants of the cutter were, of course,
thrown out and the driver of the delivery
wagon jumped in time to save his neck.
The check the team received in the re-
markable performance was sufficient to
enable several men who happened to be
near to catch all three horses before
fresh start could be made, and when ac-
count of the damage done had been taken
it was found that, singularly enough, no
one had been hurt. and that the cutter,
vehicle and harness had been but slightly
broken. People who saw the runaway
said it seemed almost incredible that it
could have terminated so fortunately.
