Ended Their Troubles Together.
NEW YORK, April 12.-Carl E. Wal
strom, So, and his wife, Nellie, 81, were
asphyxiated by gas in their rooms to-

pair shop. With the couple lived their
16-year-old son, who worked as an Gle

ly on the boys wages for their living.
The son found his parents dead when
he returned tonight. They had plug

good reasons for thinking that Ad-
miral Dewey is being doomed by a
clique of pro-trust Democrats.
"Mr. Bryan is opposed to monop-
olies of all kinds in private hands. His
enemies are our enemies and the enc
mics of the people, and I cannot per-
nit my name to be identified with any
movement TO injure him. ! entered

mereial travellers to protect their rights

Is IT THOUGHT?

For silver lei the first step in this
second battle is to elect Bryan.-Salt
Lake Herald.
Why? What proof can the Herald
cite to establish that Mr.. Bryan is a
silver man this year? Has he said
anything to that effect since he was
nominated?
When the silver men vote for Mr..
Bryan because they are silver men.
what else will they vote for? Let us
see.
First-They must vote hat just so
soon as printing presses can issue
greenbacks enough all bank notes must
be retired. (See Kansas City platform.)
Second-They must vote to pay all
the bonds outstanding of the govern
ment in ~greenbacks.
Third-To condemn all railroads, pay
for them with greenbacks and thence
forth have them run on government
account. (See SIOUX Falls platform.)
F6urth-To turn Over the govern
ment of the Philippines to A%gninaldo
and his brother cutthroats, who have
been killing our soldiers for the past
eighteen months, and in addition con-
tract to protect them in any form of
~usurpation which they may force upon
the moro than thirty tribes in the ISL
ands that wan peace and protection.
Fifth-To acknowledge that their
hearts are breaking for the Beers and
the F%ilipinos, but that we endorse

Success OF n New YORK Woman Who
Sublets Apartments.

Success OF n New YORK Woman Who
sublets Apartments.
The domain OF woman's effort is
constantly widening. Members OF the
sex are found in every community
earning a living. and sometimes ac-
curing wealth, by means that a quar-
ter of a century ago would be barrel
against them. Renting and managing
high-class apartment-houses is OF. the
latest of women's endeavor. In large
cities there are now several women
engaged in this business and making
it a success. Miss e. S. Wing OF New
York took barge of a fashionable
apartment )use last fall and showed
an extraordinary capacity for dealing
with the would-be and the real tenant.
Before ~neighboring buildings were half
filed her house was turning away ap-
plicants. The great secret OF her sue
cess lay in the fact that her duties did
not end when the apartments were
rented, but she acted the part of a
careful housekeeper from the first.
She engaged and directed all employees
herself, attended to repairs and alter
atoms as they were needed, made all
the minor contracts, such as seeing
to the electric lighting, water motors,
elevators. insurance, telephone serv-
ice, etc. Then. she is promptness it
self, collecting the rent at the begin
ming of the month, and, in short, she
gives her whole attention both to the
interests of the house and its tenants.

POLITICAL NOTES.

1t is becoming evident that Mr.. Bry-
an does not want much said about free
silver before election. The American
people, however, are not SO much con-
cerned in what may be said before cleo
ton as in what will be done after cleo
ton.
Governor Roosevelt is a dutchman,
or partly a dutchman, but it is not
thought that he considers that the ger
man americans will vote the republican
ticket On that account. There is a bet
ter reason. There are ten of them.
Meantime, we should like to ask
where Hon. Victor Lawson of the Chi
cago Record, circulation 200, 900 or
more. really stands in this campaign.
New Jersey and Alabama have about
the same population, or had in 1890,
vet Mckinley alone polled more votes
in New Jersey than Alabama polled
altogether.
If you see it in one of Mr.. Hearst's
| papers, printed in black-faced type
| three or four columns wide, you may
assume that it is not so.
Mr.. Hay, says senator Morgan of
Alabama, has been wise and statesman
like, and his course has been beyond
criticism. 1t is an expansion democrat
who knows the difference between X
this way.
Kansas has shipped a car load OF
-four to Hong Kong. But this is ex'
pansiOn.
1t used to be the robber tariff with
Mr.. Bryan and then it was the robbel
gold barons. Now we suppose it is
a conspirator Of robber soldiers, like
|Chaffec, McCalla and others.
It is announced that Mr.. Bryan is
row thinking. Perhaps he only think:
that he is thinking, or perhaps his fol
lowers think that he is thinking, OF
think that he thinks that he is think.
