ABSOLUTELY SURE !
Official Statement from Re-
publican National Committee.
The Final Forecast Gives 294 EIec-
toral Votes for Mckinley.
The People Mean to Vote Tor 4 Continuance
Of Present Prosperity.

New York. Nov. 4.-The Republican
national committee gave out, today, the
Following final official statement:
On the eve of election the Republi-
can national committees forecast Of
the result b ased on absolutely anthem
tic and unimpeachable figures and facts
differs from its previous forecasts only
in increasing the magnitude Of the
triumph which Tuesday will bring 10
the cause Of national prosperity. All
the sources OF the committees infor-
misunderstanding many that are very
unwilling witnesSes-concur in indi-
eating the conclusion that Tuesdays
election VIII prove veritablc land
slide for Mckinley and seal the doom
OF Bryan and Organism forever.
The prime cause Of this irresistible
and overwhelming popular revolt
against the Bryan Populist ticket is
perfectly obvious. 1t consists in the
desire Of the people 10 maintain the
prosperity which they have enjoyed
and now enjoy under the policies OF the
Mckinley administration and in their
well grounded fear Of public calamity
in case Bryan were 10 he elected.
All who have remuncrative work 10
do all who have wages paid them. and
who have a business to protect and de-
velop. all who have money deposited in
savings banks or invested in homes OF
their own. have been confronted with a
threat To reduc. the value Of their
property by one-half and have been
| asked 10 ratify this suicidal PROPOSE
ton by their votes.
AS they constitute the great mass
| of the American people and as they are
sane. sensible and honorable men. the
| Overwhelming majority for Mckinley
| and against Hryan. which Tuesday Will
record, is thus accounted for.
The people know that the country
has prosp-red under Mckinley. that
| wages have risen 10 a higher rate than
ever before; that employment is album
dant for All; that the savings Of labor
have Increased half 4 billion dollars.
| that commercial prosperity has been
! universal and commercial honor safe
guarded against the advocates of re-
| pudiation, and so they naturally have
| decided 10 re-elect thin and continue

and safety.

ONCE CHEF OF THE HURoNs.
Edmund Kean, the Great Actor, se-
Iectsd 10 This Honor by the
Quebec Tribe.

Among the valuable paintings and en-
cravings mentioned in the London pa
peyg MS having been sold lately in that
city ut auction at Sotheby's was the
,engraying of a portrait of the great
actor, Edmund Kean, as an Indian
bief. This is explained as follows:
When kean was acting in Quebec in
1926 four Huron chiefs Witnessed his
performance of Sir Giles Oyerreach.
Kean gave each Of them silver cup as
ID souvenir, They in return, to show
their gratitude, begged him to honor
them by becoming a member of their
tribe.
He assented with avidity, and under
the nom de gerre of Alentenaide was
chosen as chief of the Canadian abo-
rhymes, Dressed as one of the tribe he
had his portrait painted by +. Meyer in
1927, and an engraving from that paint
ing, presented by Kean himself to his
friend Halpin, was the one included in
the sale.
Another lot at the same sale COM
prised miniature portrait of Mrs,
Kean, with a lock of her hair and also
q lock of her husbands hair. There was
likewise sold an autograph letter, IN
which Mrs. Kean complains to her hus-
band of her treatment,

THE LAND OF OPHIR.
There Is Evidence That 1t Was What
u Now Called Monemotapa,
Africa.

The Monomotapa region, IN Rho
desia, is the ancient land of Ophir The
gold mines of the ancients are now re-
discovered and the gold ingot molds
rediscovered in Rhodesia are identical
with the tin ingot molds used by the
lhoenicians in Cornwall. II is believed,
says the Matabeie Times, that the Phoe-
nicians worked the South African
mines 1000 j. c. Scripture tells us how
Hiram, the Phoenician king, brought
enormous quantities of gold, ivory and
slaves for King Solomon, and where
could all these have been discovered to-
gether, and in such large quantities as
described in holy writ, If not in this
paF.,..r Of southeast Africa? Jobs ref
erences 80 gold dust" locate the source
Of Solomon's wealth ia the parts, and
certainly neither the Ivory" nor the
Slaves" nor the "@pes" of Bible history
came from Indie, 'or Africa. as is we'll
known, has ever been credited in his
tory as the ivory, slave and ape-produc-
ing country. Further, there is eonsid-
cradle doubt whether any other coun-
try, India included. could at that period
have produced the quantity of gold
mentioned in Chronicles and Kings.
Scattered throughout the country are
colossal ruins of fortresses. temples of
distinctly Phoenician origin, identical
with the ruins now seen in the land of
the Phoenicians and built by the same
race as erected Stonehenge ON Salisbury
plain and later built the rounded tow
ers of Ireland. Here is the herringbone
style of building, as in Arabia, Sardinia
and the British isles. There, too, are
the gigantic monoliths, eleven stones
and stone circles, with affairs and sacred
Enclosures.

WOMAN'S SPHERE.
An Incident of the Days of Anti
Slavery Agitation In
Connecticut.

During the days of the anti-slavery
agitation the women took rather
prominent part in the work. Once, aft
er Abbey Kelly, the talented young
Quakeress, had spoken publicly at Tor
ringford Conn, local minister de-
nounced her as 'Jezebel," and called
a meeting in the town hall to protest
against the outrage on public decency.
The Listener tells what happened as
follows:
"A large crowd attended, the women
filling one side of the hall, facing their
lords and masters, who were marshaled
on the other side. The minister read
the chapter of ST. Paul which applies
to the subject, laying especial stress on
the text: Wives, obey your husbands
Then he detained long and loudly on
the proper sphere of women, and de-
nounced all those who departed from
it to obtain educations which were not
adapted to their modest duties in life,
or to become public teachers or speak
ers. He had just finished his discourse.
having clinched il with final rhetoric
al flourish about woman's sphere, when
suddenly the floor timbers on the wom-
ems side of the house gave way, and
every woman and girl was dropped into
the cellar. And there, from amidst the
tangle of bruised women and rotten
timbers, an elderly womans voice was
heard rising: Well | hope we've
reached our proper sphere nowl' l un-
derstand that Torringford is a strong
hold of advanced views on the subject
of woman's education to this day. Such
is the irony of fate"
