to be due for the maintenance

that it was an attempt at

stated that she knew him. but

on the street upon different oc-

Garcia, the plaintiffs in the
present action, both by reputa-

so figured.
The property in which Miss
West is at present living be-

visited.
The lecture was complete in detail and
was punctuated with humorous anecdotes.
The large audience was enlightened on the
contents and history of important uni

of the people and their government. At
the conclusion of his entertaining talk he
was warmly applauded.

Parentage Denied and
the Result Is a Badly
Mixed Case.

y astute gentleman of undoubt-

effect that one-half of the world
does not know what the other half
is doing. If a complaint filed in
the Superior Court of this city

of the child, who would see that the

very kind and attentive, and l con-

However. before the baby was
taken away it was considered neces-
sary to baptize it, and one morning,
when Mr.. Shea was in town, the in
FAINT was, taken to the Church

tized as Thomas Albert Shea. Mr..
Shea said he did not care to go,
and he stayed in bed in the apart
ments of the woman who called her

wise known as Ivy West, Maria
Migrath and other names.
when we returned from the bap-
tism Mr.. Shea was very happy, and
that evening he gave US all BAN

others for the pleasure of their COM
pany. When l took the child it was
a puny little thing, and now it is
strong and healthy"
The other side of the story is es-
sentially different. Con" Shea, the
principal defendant, does not deny
a knowledge of the woman Ivy
West, but says that she is using the
court and other people to blackmail
him. 1t is understood that she has
absorbed substantial sums of his
money heretofore through threats
and promises that she would never
ask for more. He proposes to fight
the matter to a finish, and declares
that while it cannot be shown that
he is the father of the child, he can
prove that she is a woman of bad
reputation and has been an inmate
of three several houses of i'll repute
in this city and elsewhere.
There are certainly some unfore-
seen complications in the case, for
Ivy West has made matters partic-
ularly uncomfortable for Mrs. Gar
cia since her arrival here. and ap-
pears to be friendly with Shea.
Whether the allegations of the al
legged father will drive the mother
over into the camp of the people she
has been lighting up to the present
time remains to be seen. At any
rate, there is a promising outlook
for sensational developments when
the case comes to trial.

HOW THEY TRY TO DODGE THE TRUST
ISSUE.

The trust issue Will not down.
The increase i'm the price of nearly all
products made by trust: the shutting
down of factories bought by trusts; the
closing the doors of opportunity to young
mem--these are some of the impurities
perpetrated by the trusts which have
aroused the people to destroy them be-
fore they have forever destroyed indl-
vishral opportunity and monopolize1 all
the lines of profitable industry.
THE people have cause for alarm.
More trusts have been organized in
two years under McKinley's admfnis-
tration than in the previous cine hundred
years OF all his predecessors. Is not this
fact, coupled with rising prices and the
defi:gnce of law. enough to arouse the
people against these outlaws of COM
merce?
The people are demanding relief and in
1900 they will vote against the party
that refuses to stand against these
modern robber baroas. In the face Of
the rising Indignation what is the at
titllsle of the Republican parity? 1t start,
ed ont by saying, through Mr.. Hanna:
1.-The trusts will not be an issue
i'm 1900 Both parties will declare
against them and therefore the
trust issue will be eliminated
In the face of the multiplication of
trusts under McKinley's administration
and the contribution by the trusts o.
campaign funds to purchase protection,
Hama's position was ridiculed out Of
court. To admit that trusts were evils
and that they were multiplying was to
damn the administration. Some other
plan must be adopted to hoodwimk the
people. Hanna's first was too chin
Then, when Hanna came back from El-
rope he gave ont another interview and
tins time he said that big combinations
were necessary factors of modern com
merce. that they had come to sta,, thar
they were not trusts. and would do no
harm. That suited the TRUST campaign
contributors better, but Hanna's known
relations with all trusts and Illegal
corporate enterprises did not tend to
blind the people. Another man, having
more of the peoples confidence, must be
found TO throw sand in their eyes while
the trusts had their hands in their pocs-
cts.
