This is a liberal estimate for
so extreme and enthusiastic par
tisan as General Grosvenor. He
considers Mckinley sure of only
26O electoral votes, whereas he
received 271 in 1896. General
Grosvenor comedies to Bryan
Maryland and Kentucky, both
of which went for Mckinley in
1896, though Bryan got one of
Kentucky's electoral votes.
Delaware, which also went for
Mckinley, he places in the
doubtful list. He also puts
down Kansas as doubtful,
though the Republicans carried
it in 1896 by a plurality Of 15,-
134, The only states claimed by
General Grosvenor for McKin-
ley in 1900, which went for
Bryan in 1896 are South Dakota,
Washington and Wyoming, All
of these put together have only
II electoral votes. The World
publishes also the following esti-
mate of Senator J. K. Jones,
chairman Of the National Demo-
cratic committee:

Chairman Jones gives Bryan
as certain 3Omore electoral votes
than he received in 1896, and
Mckinley 80 less. AS 224 votes
are required to elect, Chairmrn
Jones leaves Mr.. Bryan 26 votes
short, but he expects that more
than this number will be fur
nished from the SO votes of the
states which he classes as doubt
full. Election estimates ore in
teresting when made by party
leaders and men who have ex-
ceptional sources of information
and unusually good opportuni-
ties for observation. 1t is also
interesting to read them after
the election and see how nearly
they came to predicting the re-
suit or how far they missed it.

MAD BUFFALORUNs AMUCK.
Peaceful Citizens Terrified by the Per-
formance of Old Thunderbolt.

"Old Thunderbolt," one of Pspnee
Bills stock bufaloes, went mad We'd
nesday afternoon at Chester Pa, and
for half an hour created the widest con-
sternation. The stock was grazing in
the old baseball grounds at Seventh and
Penpell streets, and FIVE hundred peo-
pie were on the grounds watching the
animals.
Suddenly Old Thunderbolt beloved,
tore up the dirt with his fore feet and
then, wildly tossing his name, charged
across the grounds. Men, women and
children few for safety. Cowboys
sprang on their horses and sought to
encitcle the nad animal, but nothing
could stop his charge. With crash he
went into and through the stout board
fence enclosing the grounds and gal
loped down the Pennell street, charging
right and left.
Shorty Williams, cowboy, ran for
his life as the buffalo sighted his red
shirt, and went into barb wire fence,
badly spralnlng his arm. Hector
Quinn went down in the dust as the
buffalo charged his pony, but for
tunately escaped the mad animals
horns. A dozen cowboys swung their
lariats in vain.
Finally, just as the buffalo reached
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore railway tracks, a lssso settled
over his head and be was quickly tied
up and towed, believing and snorting,
back to the stables. For some days
past the old buffalo has been acting
queerly. He is about 25 years old and
will be ordered killed by Agent Logan,
of the S P. G. A. Of his city.

A FooL1sH JUDGE Many mothers
will be inclined to differ with the Chi
cago judge who gave the opinion that
boy before him had been harmed by
washing dishes and otherwise helping
with the work about the house. The
same judge could not argue that it
would have hurt the boy to saw wood
for his family, clear up the yard or
take care Of his fathers horse, without
making the contention that boy is
for ornament, ought to have his own
sweet will and ought not to be asked to
do any work. Boys are not generally
over fond Of work and will not labor
inside or outside the house if they can
ge, away to the brook or the ball field,
but that any lad is injured by good,
wholesome work is the worst kind Of
and most families cannot af-
ford to entertain such an idea.

SHOT THEM BOTH.
One Of the Most Touching Tragedies
Of the Santa Fe Trail.

One OF the MOST IoUcniaS irdSeo'sS
of the Santa Fe Trail.
One Of the most touching Of the
many tragedies Of the old Santa Fe
trail occurred at Newton, Kan, in ear
ly days and the chief actor was an old
man dwarfsh in stature and deformed,
who kept saloon and gambling
house. He had a wonderfully intelli-
gent face and quick, shrewd eyes, and
had only two apparent objects in life.
One was to accumulate money, for he
was perfect miser, and handy man
at all games Of cards, and the other
was a Watchful and tender soHcitude
for the welfare Of his daughter, the
only being for whom he ever showed
any respect or affection. She was q
beautiful girl, bright and intelligent,
and apparently she loved the crooked
old miSer.
The story went that she was his on
ly child, and that he had come West
to make q fortune in order that when
she grew to womanhood she might
live like lady in the States.
The girl was about seventeen, and
was so carefully guarded that she was
discontented, and used to have sly
firtations with cowboys and other
hangers-on at the camp, which would
have ended in murder had the old
man discovered them. While he was at
the card table she was chattering at
the rear Of her tent with one Of ner
many lovers. And one night she
eloped.
The old man used to gamble all night
and sleep all day, and when he awolle
one afternoon from his slumbers he
detected her absence. a cowboy named
Bunny" was also missing, and the
old man. by making inquiries, discov
cred that they had been seen togeth-
er during the previous evening. He
crawled through the town like wild
cat, and borrowing horse, buckled
his revolver belt around him and
started across the prairie toward the
ranch where Bunny" was employed.
The next day he returned to New
ton, but sold out his traps and disap-
peared forever.
TWO days later travellers along the
road reported that they had found in
an abandoned mud hut near the riV-
er two corpses, those Of a beautiful
girl and stalwart young man. They
were on their knees, their right hands
were clasped, and prayer book, COW
cred with blood, lay on the floor be-
side them. The old man had discov-
cred the betrayal Of his daughter by
Bunny" had married them himself
and then shot them both through The

IS REMARRIED.
Pathetic Story Of a Man Who Had But
One Week to Live.

Down in Arizona dust-clad man
rode up to an adobe hut four days ago.
he was physician and the cowboy
who brought him had travelled many
miles over the sandy hills and shifting
dry dust. The doctor entered the little
cabin and looked at the man who lay
there in the shadowy bunk.
"You have one week more to live, "
he SAID.
At that the man in the bunk stirred
and raised himself on his elbow.
"Seven days." be murmured. Then
he sat up in the bunk with some effort
and wrote telegram.
Wednesday this man, John Gray
Stevenson, son Of Kentucky's old gov
ernor, was married to his former wife
at his fathers home at Woodlawn, Ky.
The telegram he had sent from the
cabin in Arizona, where he had gone to
seek health, was sent to his old Mis-
souri, sweetheart, who is now clerk in
the treasury department. He asked
her to go to Chicago.
The lack of words told that he was
dying
Wednesday she came and found her
former husband. He was waiting out
side the depot. The driver was told to
go to the court house. And there H.
cense permitting them to remarry was
issued. The ceremony was performed
at the home Of David Stevenson, Wood
lawn.
'Mr. Stevenson will not live another
week" said his friend and physician.
1T is doubtful whether he will live
another day" F."
Stevenson was born in Glasgow, KY,
and his former wife in Marshall, Mo.
They were married II years ago and
went to Chicago to live. During the
worlds fair Stevenson made considera-
Bile money in real estate. Six years
ago he became i'll from following the
teachings of sect which he had joined.
The physician intimated that consump
ton would follow unless he built HIM
self up.
Stevenson went to Arizona to i'm
prove his health. In the meantime
Mrs. Stevenson had left her husband.
lie admitted that in his search after
great problems he did not think Of her
as often as his duty demanded. She
was left without means of support and
went to Washington, D. G., where she
supported and cared for the two chill
dren. The telegram was the first word
Mrs. Stevenson had heard -Grom her
husband for four years.

when he is going down.
But must have word with those
who move out Of larger residences into
smaller. Sometimes the pathetic res-
son is that the family has dwindled in
size and so much room is not required,
so they move out into smaller apart
ments. l know there are such cases.
Marriage has taken some Of the mem
bers Of the family, death has taken
other members of the family, and af-
ter awhile father and mother wake up
to find their family just the size it was
when they started, and they would be
lonesome and lost in a large house,
hence they move out Of it. Moving
day is great sadness to such if they
have the law Of association dominant.
There are the rooms named after the
different members Of the family. l
suppose it is 30 in all your households.
1t is so in mine. We name the rooms
after the persons who occupy them.
And then there is the dining hall where
the festivities took place, the holiday
festivities took place, there is
the sitting room where the
family met nigh. after night, and
there is the room sacred because there
a life started OF a life stopped, the Al
pha and the Omega Of some earthly

Every doorknob, every fresco, every
mantel, every threshold meaning more
