Immediately delivered.
Railway clerks and all employees
handling the mail are required to place
special delivery letters where they viii
be seen the first thing. The drop boxes
are also closely watched to see if any
special delivery letters are placed in
them.
The result has been that many To-
peka people are getting into the habit
of using the pOstoffice for the quick de-
livery of messages. By attaching a
special delivery stamp to a message
and dropping it into the postoffice they
are sure of an immediate delivery to
any part of the city.

nexation of these islands and sincere
ly hope with my present knowledge and
impressions of all the conditions sur
rounding this case that they never will
be annexed. And if Mr.. PETER and
the party he claims to be his old love,
wish to enter the next presidential
campaign favoring expansion by con-
quest, I for one am willing to accept
the issue. Little as 1 think of much of
the past conduct of the Republican
party, I can not believe that the masses
of the same are or ever will by vote
favor expansion by conquest That
some of the money spectators of the
party favor such policy may be looked
for, if by such means they can increase
their wealth, and Mr.. PETER, it seems,
is ready to join in and support such
policy which is not Republican, not
Democratic nor Populist doctrine.
Neither will the Prohibition party lend
sanction to such a course. Mr.. PETER
also calls Lieut.. Col. Little the ex-
pansiOnist. Col. Little has at no time
or place done more nor less than to dis
charge the first and highest duty of a
soldier, namely, to obey orders.
Let US be consistent. reasonable and
just and our people will profit thereby.

CROWD CRIED FAKE.
ChoynsEi knocked Out Hall In the
Third Round

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. rs. - Joe
Choynskt, of California, knocked out
Jim Hall, of Australia, in the third
round tonight before the Nonpareil Ath-
letic club at Music hall, in the presence
of some $500 people. It was announced
that the fight was for the light heavy
weight championship, limited to twenty
rounds, and for division Of the box
office receipts Hall weighed 1853 and
Choynsi 100 pounds. In Halls corner
were Frank Kelly, of Cincinnati; Patsy
Grubbs, Louisville; Dock Hattum, Mem
rhis, and Australian Jimmy Ryan. Tom
Williams, of England; Lawrence Fitz-
patrick and Jim Watts were behind
Choynsk
The fight was lively enough while it
lasted, with the honors possibly in Halls
favor during the first two rounds, but in
the third Choynski used his right and left
effectively a number of times, and when
hut half a minute of the third round re-
NAMED Choynski landed several rights
and Eefts in succession, sending Hall to
the floor, where he remained until car
ried to his corner, after the referee had
counted ten seconds.
Instantly there were cries Of fake
from all quarters Of the hall, and a more
disappointed crowd never left ringside
in this city.
1t was right hook on the jaw that
sent Hall down and, from the spectators
standpoint, was not delivered with suffi-
Gent force to have put the Australian
out.
ehoynslli, so Hall claims, landed a left
below the belt and near the groin, which,
Hall explained, after the fight, took all
the steam out of him, and left him in
different as to the outcome.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Quiet-Mannered Negro Is Betrayed
fer u Crime of Youth.


CHICAGO, Sept 25-A crime commit
ted in youth an escape from imprison-
ment in Tennessee equal almost to death
sentence, five years of righteous living
with a wife who knew nothing of his past,
and, finally, betrayal by a supposed
friend, is the life-story of Edward Cole,
a quiet-mannered negro arrested here to-
day Born of respectable colored pa
rents near Nashville, Tenn, he had, when
a. boy, fallen into bad company, and
when at last he fell into the clutches OF
the law, charges, which he says were
1nagnified in gravity, of robbery and at
tempted murder were brought against
him. In 1892 he was sentenced to thirty
years in the Tennessee penitentiary.
Being of robust build he was set to work
in the convict coal mines, being assigned
to the Big Mound mine, eleven miles
from Nashville. This, in the South, is
considered as good as a death sentence
Five years ago Cole and seven compan-
ions managed to escape through shaft
a mile long, which had been abandoned
and choked with debris. BY many nights
of secret labor they removed enough of
this to make their way out. Cole made
his way to Chicago and secured en-
ployment with the Pullman Palace Car
company. He lived a most exemplary
life, worked hard, and won the esteem of
his employers. After four years he mar
ried a young woman, without telling her
/ of his conviction in Tennessee and his

! the affair.

OPINIONS DIFFER.
New York Judges Tell of Political
Contributions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Today was
Judges day. before the Mazet legislative
Investigating committee. A number of the
judges were called for the purpose of
ascertaining the opinions of the different
members Of the judiciary as to the advis-
ability of the passage of stringent law
prohibiting the payment of election ex-
penses by the candidates for judicial Of
fees. This action was taken, Chairman
MaZet explained, at the request of the
City club, the chamber of commerce and
other bodies of similar character.
Justice Edward Patterson, of the ap-
pellate division of the supreme court,
was the first witness of the day. He tes-
titled that he paid several thousand dol
lars, he could not remember exactly how
much. He thought that political parties
needed money for legitimate expenses,
but that it would be a great relief and
a wholesome thing if contributions were
Lot allowed.
Justice Gildersleeve's election expenses
were $4,000. He opposed the payment Of
large sums, but did not object to rea-
sonabie expenses being paic by judicial
candidates.
Justice Giegerich paid Tammany hall
$1,000. He did not see why judicial candi-
dates ought to be exempt as long as pOlit-
ical parties needed money.
Justice SCOTS expenses were So, 955. He
thought it would be an advantage to the
public if all candidates, judicial included,
could be relieved from election expenses.
Justice Bischoff paid Tammany hall $10,-
Co., He thought judicial candidates should
be exempt
Justice McAdam said that he paid $1O,-
0e0 at the time of his nomination. He
thought law doing away with contribu-
tons would be a good thing.
Justice Fitzgerald paid $1,000. He IA
vored a law forbidding contributions by
judicial candidates.
Justice Beach paid Richard Croker $5,-
0G2 He knew of no reason why the jul
dicial candidate should be relieved Of the
payment Of legitimate election expenses.
Justice Henry C. BeeHman paid $4,797.
He favored exemption for judicial can
didates.
Justice Truax said he paid over s., 500
He could see no harm in the payment Of
small sums.
Justice Charles Mclean said that no
suggestion had ever been made to him
to pay a campaign contribution. He had
no opinion as to whether it would be a
good thing to abolish the system of as
scssing candidates for the bench.

The Columbia reached New Rochelle,

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET.
Prince RAnji's Team Opens with
Philadelphia Players.

Philadelphia Players.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.-Beautiful
fall weather prevailed on the first Gay
of the series Of three international cricket
matches between Prince Kamar Ran
jitsihnjfs English eleven and team
made up from among the various Phila-
delphia clubs, a the grounds of the Bel
mont Cricket club, at EIwood, in West
Philadelphia. The opponents of the Eng
llsl representatives are twenty-five junior
players, picked from the various cricket
clubs in this city, captained by Frank
Altemas. a veteran who has participated
in many international matches Only a
small crowd was present when play open
ed Prince Ranjitsihnjis eleven is one
OF the strongest teams that ever played
in this city. From the prince down to the
last man on the team there is not a
weak hitter, and almost every man Is a
good bowler. Even with their good bat
ting qualities, the Englishmen will find
it hard to run up a big score, as it will
be difficult to safely place their hits with
twenty-five players in the field
Just before play was started it was
decided that only fourteen colts should
play in the field This change was due to
request of Prince "Ranji," who explain
ed that his team would be obliged to
alter its entire style Of play with twenty
two men fielding. The twenty-five play
ers, however, will bat, so that the scoring
of the young Philadelph1ans will not be
affected. Capt. Altemus won the toss,
! and elected to go to bat.
The first two men to bat made a good
stand, scoring 81 runs before the first
wicket fell. After that, however. the
wickets went down rapidly, and when
play was stopped for luncheon the home
team had lost seven wickets for n runs.
