MISS GORDON GIVES
ADVICE ON THE
C1SE rSr

world for lady bag punchers. Mise
Gordon is still young In years and 10
one OF the most physically perfect
specimens of women In the country.
She was not always thus. but early in
life began to build up the body by
taking daily exercise. A lover OF ont
door sports, abe took aptly to II and
at once began to show Improvement.
One OF her chief methods was the
use OF the punching bag. aud she soon
mastered the art completely and won
renown for her cleverness. She was
the first woman to master the art or
bag punching. and has invented the
majority OF the blows she uses. and
which have been adopted by men and
women alike. Miss Gordon has been
seen In nearly every city In this
country, and has recently returned
from u trip through England. Germany
and France. In all her travels. both
In this country and abroad. she has
at times met in open competition,
members OF both sexes and has never
once failed to come on with dying col
ors. She has met many who claimed
to be champions OF the art, and has
s~ignally defeated them iu every In
stance. and now stands ready 10 de
fend her title against any lady a
puncher In the world. A great deal
of amusement can be gotten u OF
bag punching and many OF the taps
used are real pretty to look at, as well
IA being wonderfully clever. Single
and double taps. elbow and back arm
movements are executed with wonder
full skill and Judgment. The head Is
brought into play and even the shout
ders are used. Continual shifting OF
the feet and legs with great q~uickness
is another marked feature OF the art
and one which must be perfected as
well as the use Of the hands. Miss
Gordon indorses bag punching rs an
excellent exercise for building up the
system and one which can be adopted
as one OF the chief exercises for wo-
men. y

HAVANA WATER RENTS
Spanish Bank Which Collects Charged
With Neglect

Havana. Oct. l7.-Mayor Rodriguez
is about to appoint special com
mttee to investigate the collection of
city water rents. a Spanish bank, by
the terms of the mortgage, now col
lects the water revenues as guaran-
tee of the $7,0OO,OOO loaned to the
city by the bank. Recently the bank
officials have been charged with ne
glect in the collections. When the
amount necessary to pay the interest
on the loan has been deducted, the
balance is comparatively small
sum, when the amount of water con-
sumed is taken into consideration.
In the opinion of Mayor Rodriguez,
the collections instead of being some
thing less than $500, 900 a year, should
be at least $500, 900.

liam X. Hearst, editor and proprietor
of the New York journal. the Chicago
American and the San Francisco EX-
aminer. which are now shouting
against "imperialsm,' favored eXpan-
sion, which he declared was both right
and reasonable. He denounced the
course of the democratic national lead
ers in opposing it as marrow and
stupid beyond belief" and charged
democratic defeat to democratic lead
ers who, having brought on the war,
refused to share the honors or to ac-
quire for the people the lasting bene-
fits of the war"
These sentiments were uttered in
signed editorial printed in the New
York Journal OF November 10, 1898,
which is here reproduced in full:
The war IL the Issue.
The vote of this election is a vote of
approval for the war and the princi-
pie of expansion and for the greater
conservatism of the republican party.
Local issues, everywhere in favor of
the democrats. have failed to influence
voters to abandon the main issue.
1t is both right and reasonable that
the administration which. despite it's
mistakes carried this glorious war to a
successful conclusion should receive a
vote of confidence. 1t is both right
and reasonable that the policy of ex-
pansion, ever the policy of the Amer
lean people since jefferson annexed
the Louisianas, should receive the APP
proval of the American voters, repub-
lcan and democratic.
The democratic national leaders have
been narrow and stupid beyond be-
lief, and the journal and Examiner
have warned them time and again Of

the inevitable results of their stupidity.
The democratic press and the demo-
Gratis in congress urged and brought
on the war, but the democratic leaders,
under the control of Bailey, influenced
by petty Jealousy, forced the demo-
cratic party into an attitude of oppo-
stion to the very war they had brought
on; forced it further into an attitude
of opposition to the democratic pol
icy of expansion, to the very principles
of jefferson, the father of American
democracy.
The suicidal attitude OF the demo-
cratic leaders began with opposition to
the annexation of Hawaii. These lead
ers purposed driving a democratic con-
gress into caucus to oppose annexation.
The Journal sent its representative ed
itors to Washington, fought this eau
Gus. broke ii up and prevented the
democracy from making formal and
conspicuous ass of itself on that oc-
casion. But the narrowness of the lead
ers continued and developed a tendency
to oppose every republican act, even
though it embodied democratic prin-
ciple.
At the democratic convention at
Syracuse. n. Y, the journal offered to
and urged upon the gentlemen in con-
troll of the convention plank embody-
ing the Journals national platform and
declaring in favor of the Jeffersonian
| principle of expansion. But the demo-
| cratic leaders preferred TO confne the
fight entirely to local issues, with the
result of democratic gains in districts
Immediately affected by the local is
sues, but of republican victory in the
| whole state.
In New York every democratic con-
| gressman who declared for the prin-
ciples OF the war and the policy of
| expansion was elected. and Capt. Will
liam Astor Chanler (democrat), who in
himself represented the principles OF
| the war, and who declared for the JEFF
fersonian principles of expansion, de-
feated Lemuel Ely Quigg, the repub-
lican leader, in a republican district by
over 5000 votes.
The democratic defeat is not due to
the democratic people or to democratic
principles, but to democratic leaders
They, having brought on the war, re-
fused to share the honors of the wal
or to acquire for the people the last
ing benefits of the war. The demo
cratic leaders do not speak for the
democracy, and republicans have
everywhere elected with the aid Of
democratic votes.

Not Actively Supported.

The Louisiana populists have de-
cided to support the republican party
this campaign. The reason they give
is sound one. Their resolution says,
among other things, that "We con-
slider the paramount issue to the
Louisiana cotton planters-mostly
populists-is the maintenance of ten
cent cotton, which was alone made
possible by republican policies; and
that they should join their brethren,
the sugar and rice planters and the
lumbermen, in having Louisiana vote
for her interests"
The doctrine of protection is max
ing its way in the democratic strong
holds of the south. Mr.. Bryan is not
getting any too enthusiastic support

ers are nearly all in spirit and in be-

may not have been heavier because
more was used in the southern mills;
but the outbound shipments of tex
tile goods have greatly increased Also
the inbound shipments of the luXuries
of life have increased enormously, and
this class of freight is the best pay
ing of all.
Opening up new markets in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines for
the products of the south has given
great additional stimulus to the
southern railroads, which geographic
ally considered, derive unusual adyan-
tages from the eXpension policy.

MAKES HOME MARKETS.
Increase of Manufactures Is Fol-

for Farm Products.

Our imports of crude articles not
produced in the United States, for

These had increased in 1900 to $780,

when these manufactures grow, 9th

The point of this to the producers

lures increase, just in like proportion
does their home market for wheat,

Rev. j. p. Wright Very Ill.

For some time Rev. j. p. Wright, a
retired minister of the Presbyterian
church, has been quite feeble and in
poor health at his home on south
Chestnut street. Last night Mrs.
Wright awoke and found that he was
unconscious and doctors were sum
moned. All day today in spite of
medical skill he has remained in a
stupor and it is feared that the end Is
not far off. Mr.. Wright is past the
four score and ten years mark and
has little strength to rely on.
1t was reported that he had
suffered q stroke of appoleXy but the
truth seems to be that there was a
breaking in his head, where a
gathering has caused him pain for
some time.
