WHY LONG IS NOT WANTED
His Unpopularity in Maryland Would
Probably Cost Republicans That
State

Washington, April 21-Seeretary Long,
whose name has been widely discussed
in New England, and who is the only
man thus far to have delegates to the
national convention instructed for him,
admits that "Barkis is willin'." He re-
turned from a visit to his daughter, who
is living in Colorado, and modestly ad-
mitted that he would not decline the
nomination for vice president if it were
rendered him by the Philadelphia conven-
ton He says he would consider it a
great honor to take second place on the
ticket with Mckinley.
Governor Long is a very able man, per-
hapS the ableSt in the cabinet intellec-
tua1ly, and would make a first class vice
president, as he has made first class
secretary of the navy But the practical
men among the Republican leaders OBJ
ject to his nomination because he is so
unpopular in Maryland on account of his
attitude in the Sampson-Schley contro-
versy, and because they want a man who
will strengthen the ticket where it needs
strengthening, and that is not in New
England. Being a native of Maryland,
and the biggest hero that ever came out
of that state, Admiral Schley has the ad-
miration and affection of the people of
all classes, who hate Secretary Long
with an abiding hatred that would doubt
less prevent the Republicans from carry
ing Maryland, If he were the candidate.

Three Atchison Young Men
Leave Home Secretly.
With the Intention Of Seeing
Paris Exposition.
WERE HYPNOTIZED.
Had Been on the Stage With a
Mesmerist Recently.
VIII Peddle Soap and Spectacles
to Pay Their Way.

Atchison. April 21.-Three young men,
Clarence Haslet and Ralph Martin of
Atchison. and Harry Bond, of Salina, a
student of Midland college, left last
night to work their way to the Paris ex-
position. They kept their departure a
secret, especially from their relatives,
fearing they would object, but told a
few of their intimate friends.
They said they proposed to go as far
as Kansas City in a skiff. thence by rail
to a town in central Missouri, from
which place they would write their par
ents. Their plan is to sell soap, spec
tacles, etc, through the country until
they reach New York. and to get pas
sage on a steamship as employees. Clar-
ence Haslet, who is a son of e. A. Has
let, was recently with Beach & Bowers
Ministries as a ballad singer, and is said
to have started away with $40. Ralph
Martin carried the largest Globe route
in town, and probably had some money.
1t is not known how Bond was fixed.
When their departure became known
Harold Martin and Zeno Briggs went. to
Leavenworth to overtake them, and in
duce them to give up the foolish trip.
They have not yet returned. Haslet and
Bond were on the stage with DR.. Flint
last week, and it is supposed that they
are still hypnOtiZed.

FOUND HIM IN JAIL
Sad End of Repentant Mothers Long
Search For Her Boy.

Hutchinson, April 21-Eighteen years
ago Mrs. jeremiah Mcpherson left her
husband and little son, Albert, in Chi
cago, and eloped with another man.
For the past ten years she has been
repentant woman and has searched un-
ceasingly for her son. The lad was left
by his father at an Illinois orphan
asylum and was later adopted by a
family which moved to Kansas. All
trace of the boy was then lost and the
mother, it seemed, would have fruit
less search. A few months ago, by an
accident, she learned the name of the
family that adopted the boy, and came
to Kansas to find her son. Friday she
arrived in Hutchinson, where the search
was ended. Her boy is an inmate of the
Hutchinson reformatory, sent here six
months ago from W,~-ilta for larceny.
It was a sad meeting for both, but
more so for the mother, who deserted
him convict when she needed him to
lean upon.
