The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-08-06

A certain group of Newport millonaires
are growing moro perturbed daily over
the inability of detectives to locate the
alleged adventures who has been operat-
ing there recently.
Developments show that more than one
man is anxious to obtain letters which
he wrote In moments of foolish tender
ness.
1t seems to have been part of the game
played by the so-called Mrs. Longworth
to encourage her prospective victims in
the letter writing habit. The latest story
is that three men are thus disturbed.
These men have made common cause,
and intend to leave no stone unturned TO
locate her.

MAY BE CORA CLAYTON.

The detectives have come to the con-
clusion that Mrs. Lillian h. Longworth
is none other than Cora Clayton, who,
under the alias OF Cora Wells operated
successfully as blackmailer and badger
worker in Chicago three or four years
ago.
The description of Mrs. Longworth tall
lies exactly with that OF Cora Wells, and
her campaign in Newport is similar in
many respects.
Mrs. Longworth and her maid left
Newport together on Monday last They
have been traced TO this city. Here the
trail disappears, and the detectives are
entirely in the dark concerning her sub
sequent movements.
The Identification OF Mrs. Longworth as
Cora Wells has not been balm TO the
wounds of her Newport victims
Two men of prominence in the financial
world were victims of Cora Wells, and
stories are now being dug up OF the man

Woodmen Win the Organ,

The organ vote is ended. The ex-
citement of the past sixteen weeks has
been quietly put behind US, and we
now have only cold facts to deal with.
The vote of the last week of the con-
test gave material gain for the NJ. w.
A., standing as it did, 455, 1877 for Olive
Camp, 366,6s9 for the Dundee church,
and 1875 for the Y. NJ. G. A. The
total vote for the sixteen weeks showed
M. W. A. 5S0,957, Dundee Lutheran
church 500, and Y. NJ. G. A. 1881:
making sum total of 1,l65,s73 votes,
each one of which mean twenty-five
cent purchase or cash trade Of over
1921 1853 in only fifteen business houses
in our town where we have over a
hundred firms.
Companions are too often invidious
but from paper of our sister city In
dependence we learn that in similar
contest therein which an organ was
likewise won something like 10000
votes were cast or only about $4,000
spent in trade. In other words Man
chester with population far under
that of Independence has business men
who are rustlers, who are doing q cash
business over nine times as great as
are the Independence merchants.
The memb rs of the NJ. w. A. are to
be congratulated upon their splendid
showing as their friends of the Dundee
Lutheran church were closely following
them, and it was success indeed. 1t
was exciting but it is over, the Cottage
organ has been won.

Er.senntor comden,s Views.

Ex-senator Camden, IN his talk with
the Intenlgencer's Parkersburg repre-
sentative. reveals the fact, however
adroiuy he has attempted to conceal 1t,
that he Is L tentative and receptive
candidate for the United States senate.
This, OF course depends on the Demo-
Gratis carrying the Legislature, and to
accomplish which they will make the
most strenuous efforts. In the event
Of such disaster to the state the In
telligencer does not know of another
gentleman who would be better quail
fed to represent the state in the SEN
ate than Mr. Camden. The ex-s2nator's
denial OF any aspirations in this direc-
ton is naturally prediction modesty.
He says that he intends doing all he
can as an energetic private citizen to
aid the Democrats In their attempt to
overthrow the Republicans In West
Virginia, and this we fully believe he
will do through a munifcent cash do
nation to the Democratic state commit
tee. This will incur an obligation on the
part Of the party that cannot well be
discharged in the event OF success with
out honOring him with the senatorship.
But the Intelligencer does not antIci-
pate that there will be any occasion for
an accounting on that score.
Ex-senator Camden believes what
most Democrats foresee will happen,
the inevitable nomination OF Bryan.
but he shys Mt the question put to him
bluntly as TO whether he win support

in, and warily. wise politician that he
Is. refuses to be quoted on the probable

Death Of Henry K. List.

II It were possible to consult the
wishes of Mr.. Henry X. List he would
discountenance any fulsome praise or
ornate testimony to his memory. There
was absolutely no ostentatiun in his
lie, but It was n life that was worth
living many times over. and Wheeling
is bereft, indeed, in his taking off. For
the past half century his name has
stood for business probity and phiian-
thropy. There was absolutely nothing
that appealed to the generous impulses
of humanity that his heart and pocket
book did not instantly respond to. But
in the giving out of his abundance he
followed the scrptural injunction in
torbIddlug knowledge to the left hand
of what the right had done. This mod
esty in dispensing his charities was one
of his most conspicuous traits.
OF a retiring disposition so far as
public display or prominence that at
tracted attention to him. he was never
theless a man of great force Of charac-
ter and influence. His home life was
beautiful, and there he stood as an oak
around which all the tendrils that go
to make life serene and happy were
outwined in love and confidence.
Where the welfare Of the city was
concerned and the public good was to
be considered. MIR. List was foremost
in advancing both without seeking re-
ward or asking the bestowal Of hpnors.
He did what he did as fulfilling his con-
ceptlon Of his duty as n citizen, and
through motives inspired by a thorough
going loyalty to the interests Of
Wheeling, which he has done so much
to Improve and beautify architecture
ally.
He has dropped to sleep in that faith
ne did SO much to honor in HE by a
conscientious Observance OF its tehets,
and IT can be truthfully added that
there is no citizen who has passed away
of late years whose death is so generally
and sincerely regretted.

are stlI sore over their treatment at
the hands of the Third dIstrict Demo-
cratic convention. which nominated del

Editor Dennis is particularly hot under

In a recent editorial, commenting on the
combination that wrecked both the as

says:
The combination made by st. Clair.

prevailed had the men who favored Mr.
Johnston asserted their right to vote for
him rather than sit in their seats to
register the wishes OF three men In

sent them to Charleston. Mr.. Johns
ton was clearly the choice OF the con-
vention. but the combination deprived
him Of the vote to which he was euu-
tied. and from several counties that
might be mentioned he did not get n

wanted to vote for him"
A reporter OF the Charleston Mail
Tribune called the attention Of prom
inent Kanawha county Democrat to
these expressions, who In n lone OF dis
gust exclaimed:
Thunder, what are they kicking

I'm glad they didn't get 1t. Here they
have been allowing their majorlties to
go down every year through inastcntion
and lack of interest, until we haven't
much left, and we had to do some heroic
work In Monroe In order to save the
delegate there. They want to get a
move on themselves before they go to
asking for representation to any conven-
ton. That is the way feel about the
matter. and don't care who knows It,"
