There are certain indications point

DEMOCRATIC
SCHEME OH FRAUD
Intend to Bring Men Into
State to be Registered
on Saturday

Democrats have great scheme FOR
fraud nj the registration on Saturday
next lt has been discovered by the Re
publican Campaign Committee. and ali
efforts will be made TO prevent the un-
lawful acts which the Democrats are ex-
pected TO commit.
The scheme is 20 register illegally a
large number OF men. and. II possible. vote
them on election day. These men are 10
be brought from Baltimore and other
Maryland points. The Republican man
ayers have learned that the seat OF the
fraud is in South Wilmington where n
large number OF men hare been trained
70 effect the work.
When the Democrats found they were
m bad shape, not only in this city, but in
the county as WE'LL the scheme was ex-
tended 20 take in all OF New Castle coun-
~. But the Democrats were In just az
bad shape In other parts OF the state as IN
New Castle county, and so the scheme
was again enlarged. Now il includes the
entire state OF Delaware. and trained
men from Baltimore will be brought here
90 assist
The plan will be TO distribute the men
nbout the city while the men from this
city win be sent to the lower part or the
state. The Republicans win watch every
registration place in the state on Satur-
day and are determined thnt no fraud
shall be- committed.
Detectives have been obtained and will
watch the men who are suspected As
soon as a man attempts 10 register with
out having a riga. to do so he will be de-
tectcd and a warrant issued for his ar
rest.
The detectives also viii watch the reg

The Strikers
MITCHELL AGAIN IN HAzLETOB
highly Pleased and Gratilied at The
Courteous Treatment He Re
ceiyed in Scranton

scranton, Pa, Oct. 10 President
Mitchell and the others OF the strike
leaders who remained over Sunday in
this city left for Hazleton late yester-
oty afternoon. Before his departure
Mr.. Mitchell expressed himself as
highly pleased and gratiiicd az the gen
eraily courteous treatment that he had
met with during his stay in Scranton.
Il would like TO have my headquar-
ters here" he remarked.
One who has been with Mr. Mitchell
interpreted this as slgnifying that he
is not as warmly received by the pub-
lie generally in Hazleton as he would
wish.
Mr.. Mitchell declined 10 discuss the
operators statsment OF their views of
the conventions outcome, as conveyed
to the public in the interview with
President T. II. Watkins, Of the TEN
pie Iron company. but he permitted
himself to say that Mr.. Watkins was
unfair in declaring that the raids in
the lower districts were led by paid
officers OF the United Mine Workers.
lie also settled effectively the dispute
as TO whether or not the resolutions
contemplate that the operators offer
must also DO amended by striking OF
the codicil that the decrease In the
price OF powder is to be computed in
figuring the advance in wages. "The
advance must be a fat one" said Mr.
Mitchell. Where powder Is sold for
S2.75 keg the excessive charge will be
one Of the grievances that the company
viii be called upon to take up when
the men are accorded the conferences
that their respective employers agreed
in the posted notices to give them on
their return to work"
In the face OF the pronounced decla-
ration Of the operators that the offer
must be accepted as Il stands this is
regarded here as another serious OBJ
stacle to a speedy settlement.
During the early afternoon Mr..
Mitchell had an interview at district
headquarters with President Samuel
Morgan, OF the Mt. Pleasant Local
who originally suggested the idea OF
having the Independent operators and
Unitea Mine Workers make a joint
move on the interstate commerce COM
mission to secure better rates for an
thraeite, with view OF permitting the
Independent operators TO deal better
with their men. President Mitchell
expressed himself as much impressed
with the plan, and promised to take
It up with the national executive board
just as soon as the strike Is over.
There was no conference yesterday
Of operators at the Temple Iron COM
pany's office, as reported there would
be, or II there was the operators de-
clare they know nothing OF II. Mr..
Watkins president Of the Temple com |
pany, said: I'VE have nothing TO con-
Ter about. We have, nothing to DO but |
wait for our employees to accept or re- |
lect our offer as It was made. as IL |
stands and as it will stand. There will /
be no notifications Of that offer"

NRBLY CASES WILL
BE PROSECUTED
Federal Government Is AnA-
iOBS, for a Decision
They Involve The Constitutional
Status Of Colonial Possessions
in West Indies

Washington, Oct. 16.-The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
granted the motion of the government
to advance the Neely cases and assign
ed them for hearing Nov. 12 The
cases came up from the federal court
OF New York on the desision of Judge
Wallace denying a writ of habeas cor
pus. The government is very anxious
for a decision which will settle the
constitutional questions involved. The
court also assigned for the same day
the two cases which involve the great
question as to whether the constitu-
ton extends over the new possessions
OF the United Stacs. One is the case Of
Goetz, a New York tobacco importer,
appealing from a decision Of the United
States District court for the southern
district Of New York, affirming the de-
cision OF the board of general apprais-
ers, making tobacco dutiable under the
Porto Rico tariff
The other comes to the supreme
court under the title Fourteen dia-
mond rings VS.. the United States" It
comes up on appeal from the federal
court Of Illinois. One Peke, a soldier
of a South Dakota regiment, which
served in the Philippines, is the claim
ant. When he returned home from the
Philippines he brought with him the
diamonds. They afterward were seized
by the federal authorities in Chicago
and confscated as smuggled goods
through Peke's agency suit was
brought to recover them, on the
ground that as the Philippines were
part of the United States within the
meaning OF the constitution, that no
impost duty could be levied; that the
diamonds were not dutiable, and,
therefore, were unlawfully seized.

when Pnnooae nlca.

The Indian mother, when her baby
dies, does not believe that swift angels
bear it into the sunshine of the spirit
land, but she has a beautiful dream to
solace her bereavement. The cruel
empty places which everywhere meet
the white mothers eye are unknown to
her, for to her tender fancy a little
spirit child fills them.
1t is not uncommon, says the author
of little Folks of Many Lands" to
see In Mexico or in Canada a pair Of
elaborate tiny moccasins above a little
Indian grave. a mothers fingers have
made them, a mothers hand has hung
them there, to help baby's feet over
the long, rough road that stretches be-
tween his fathers wigwam and the
Great Chiefs happy hunting grounds
Indians believe that a baby's spirit
cannot reach the spirit land until the
child, if living, would have been old
enough and strong enough to walk.
Until that time the little spirit hoyers
about its mother And often it grows
tired -oh, SO very tired-so the tender
mother carries a papoose's cradle on
her back that the baby spirit may ride
and rest when it will
The cradle is filed with the softest
feathers for spirits rest more COM
fortably upon feathers; hard things
bruise them and all papooses old toys
dangle from its hood, for dead papoose
may like to play even as living papoose
did.

THE IDLE RICH.

Although Thomas Nelson Page does
not think so, it is a fact nevertheless that
the acts of the Newport -Four Hundred

ments of thousands of other people,

Mr.. Page is wrong. The pernicious
example of our aristocracy of wealth is
widespread For a light set upon a hill
cannot be hid. The light of folly and
profiigacy among the conspicuous rich
of the United States at the present time
is beacon of scandal to the country
Chicago Chronicle.
1t would be a sad thing for American
manhood and womanhood If the men and
women of this country got their morals
and their ideas of life from the smart
set in New York They lead a life OF
idleness and selfish indulgence, and they
are worse than useless. The world is
the worse rather than the better for
their Richmond Times.
In London the members of the most
exclusive society are also leaders in the
world of politics and Of letters. The
men are frequently brave soldiers or
sailors or members Of parliament; the
women nre usually intelligent and inter
esting. The members of the -Four HuIl-

frontery and their lack of morals
