been brought to the thcater addressed
to her."
Miss Vermont turned suddenly cold
with terror. Mother had had stroke
or fathers automobile had run away
with him. or brother Jack had been
capsized on the river and drowned. She
saw every detail of her fearful home
tourney-the sleepless night of waiting
for the first train. the interminable
crawling OF 1t Washingtonward. She
saw herself in the deepest mourning. In
a half second she lived II week of mis-
cry. Her two cousins were gazing at
her in frightened hclplessness. She
staggered to her feet.
II am Miss Vermont" SHE said, with
an effort.
An usher ran down the aisle. Every
eye in the theater was on her. Every
woman there felt for her. For mo-
ment she could not nerve herself to
open the envelope. She must. She
must know which one it was. The
message was blur before her. 1t was
signed Jack. She caught the words,

time she made out the whole message.

FURTHER FORECASTS
Hanna'S Conferences Before
 Going on the Stump
Will Leave Today For the Northwest to Take Pettigrew's Scaip-In- diana all Right For Mckinley and Roosevelt.

Chicago, Oct. 14.-Chairman Hanna of the republican national committee has had conferences with other repub- lican campaigners all day. Among those who talked with Senator HannI today were Senator Cullom of Illinois, Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge, and National Committeeman Harry $. New of Indiana, Perry Heath, Senator John C. SpoOner and Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin, Ernest E. Hart, National committeeman from Iowa, and R. E. Snyder national committeeman for Nebraska.
 Senator Spooner and MT. Payne went over the situation in Wisconsin, Mime sota and other northwestern states. A number of preliminary polls have been taken and all indicate that these states, a. in 1896, are solid for Mckinley and sound money. Senator Spooner was asked what he thought of Wisconsin Oh, he laconically replied. about d million plurality for Mckinley" Mi. Fairbanks, MT. Beveridge and Mir. New spoke for Indiana and it was their tcs- timony that a stiff fight was on, but that eventually this state would be found solidy for Mckinley. MT. New added that in his judgment things were so shaping themselves that the HOOsier state would give a larger piur- aiity for Mckinley than it did in 1896, when the plurality was 1S,1S1.
 So much has been said about Indiana that the pluralities in the state from 1872 will be interesting. They are: 1872, republican. 2, ,515; 1874, democratic, T., 252; 1876, democratic, 5,515; 1878 dem- ocratie, 15,736; 1SSO, republican, 6,G4l :; 1882, democratic, 10.924; 1884, democrat ic. 6,512; 1SS6 republican, 3,324; 1SSS re-

THE OLDEST LIVING THING
California's Big Trees Antedate u e
 Glacial Period.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Mr Clifford Pinchot, the forester of the department of agriculture, has compiled pam phlet on the big trees of California which has just been issued from the government printing office. It is hand somely illustrated with a number of fine pictures, showing their size as compared with that of other conifers. MT Pinchot presents the following salient facts regarding the big trees:
 The dimension of the big tree are unequalled. Its age makes it the oldest living thing. The majestic beauty of the big tree is unique and world re- nowned. It exists only in ten isolated groves on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and nowhere else in the world. The -Mariposa grove is the only one of consequence which is completely protected Most of the scat tered groves of big trees are privately owned and are therefore in danger of destruction. Lumbering is rapidly sweeping them off. Forty mills and logging companies are nOw at work wholly or in part upon big tree timber. The southern groves show some repro auction, through which there is some hope of perpetuating these groves. In the northern groves the species hardly holds its own. The big tree and the smaller coast redwood represent a sur vlVing prehistoric genus of trees once widely distributed over the globe.
 MT. PinchCt says that before the g!a- cial period the genus of big trees. called Sequoia. fiourished widely in the temperate zones of three continents. and Europe, Asia and America each had its share. But when the ice fields moved down out of the north the lux uriant vegetation of the age declined. and one after another the different kinds gave way until only the big trees and the redwoOds survived. These trees have come down to us through the vii cissitudes of many centuries, solely because of their superb qualifications. The bark is often two feet thick and all most nOn-combustible. The oldest spe- cimens felled are still sound at heart and fungus is an enemy unknown to it. Yet the big trees have not increased their range since the glacial period. and have just managed to hold their own on the little strip of country where the climate is locally favorable.
 The finest of all groves, the Calaveras grove, with the biggest and tallest trees, came into the possession of a lumberman on April 1. 1900; in short. the majority of the big trees of Cali fornia. certainly the best of them are owned by people who have every right. and, in many, cases, every intention of cutting them down for lumber. Many of the notable trees in the Calaveras grove are 300 feet in height and 20 to 23 feet in diameter. The Stanislaus or South Calaveras grove contains 1880 big trees The Mariposa grove has 125 trees over 40 feet in circumference.

 It was the testimony of MT. Fair banks, MT Beveridge and MT. New that every speech made by MT. Bryan in Indiana strengthened the republican cause. They base this assertion on MT. Bryan's reckless and disordered state ments as to the issues of the campaign.
 Senator CullOm spoke up for Illinois. The Bryanites have great hopes of carrying this state and they base their opinions on what they say is to be T great uprising against the republican party here in Cook county. In 1896 Me kinley carried the county by 69,677 and the state of Illinois by 142.49S plurality. Willis J. Abbott, MT Bryan's chief press agent, seems to believe. however that there is a scheme on foot on the part of Mayor Carter H. Harrison ito throw the state to Mckinley" MT Abbott said:
 Why. when Bourke Cochran spoke in the Coliseum a little over a week ago there were only ten policemen on guard, whereas last night when Roosa- Welt spoke there, there were forty police officers on guard"
 Senator Cullom said that Mckinley and Roosevelt would carry Illinois without a flicker.
 The final touches to Senator Hanna's speech-making tour outside of Illinois were made today. He is to accompany Senator Frye of Maine, beginning to- morrow, and the country to be tray ersed is Wisconsin, Minnesota. South Dakota and Nebraska. The grand wind-up is to be in Lincoln, Mir. Bryans home. Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, it was said tonight, is whetting his vitriolic tongue in order to give Senator Hanna d vituperative reception. Senator Hanna is determ- ined to beat MT. Pettigrew for the United States senate, if it is within the range of possibilities. Senator Hanna reiterated tonight that it was by no means uncertain that the republicans
