FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. 2, 1900.

AMONG the most stable supporters OF
MIR. Mckinley and his policy of force
bills and negro officials in the South,
his unnecessary ware, and his trusts, thai
make the few rich richer and the many
poor poorer, are some, not all by any
means. of the banks aud bankers, aud
their reason for being 30, is that II
Bryan be elected, American securities
held abroad will be returned and gold
be drawn from the banks to redeem
them. But the same men say this
country now is more prosperous thsn II
ever was before, and its money Is more
plentiful than it ever has been IN
previous years; indeed, so much MORE
that it is lending foreign nations all ire
gold they went. II that be so, what
harm could possibly result from the re-
demptiop of American securities held
abroadP But even if the country were
depleted of its gold, what American
could suffer, as, by law, greenoacKs'
treasury notes and silver certificates
are as good as gold everywhere within
the limits of the United States? But
foreign holders OF American securities
are not so keen set on the election OF
Mr.. Mckinley as the Americans re-
ferred 20 are, nor are they so foolish as
to allow the result OF popular election
here, to induce them to relinquish
profitable investments.

FOUGHT WILDCAT AND Bachelor
the second time within a month
Michael ReddiugtoD, of Pittston, Pa,
had thrilling fight for life in the
Moosic Mountains Tuesday. Early
Tuesday morning Reddipgton went
into the forest in search of panther
which attacked him short time ago.
He had scarcely entered the woods
when he discovered number OF what
he thought to be young kittens playing
in q small cave. The hunter attempted
to capture them and was just about TO
make off with his prize when he was
attacked by wildcat, the mother of
the family. A battle for life followed,
and Reddington finally succeeded in
tearing the animal from his body. I'm.
mediately afterward he was attacked
by large eagle. The hunter after q
hard struggle succeeded in making his
escape, but not before he was seriously
injured.

Startling Developments Expected.

Havana, Nov 2.-OGher cases similar
to the now famous Nicely case may be
developed by the secret investigation
which is now in progress here. A

Of the several departments has disclos-

The process of collecting data and proof

not be completed until after January L

BOARD ofTrade and Bucket shops

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Judge Vail, in rem
deriug an opinion yesterday in a suit
brought by the Grain Exchange
against the Board of Trade, said:
II do not believe any fair
minded man will examine the
transactions of the Board of Trade and
a bucket shop as to large portion of
their business and see any difference 10
the substance of their business. You
may call it speculation on the Board OF
Trade; you may call it gambling in
grain 10 bucket shops, but it amounts
10 the same thing, it is mere betting
upon the price of grain. l think, as a
matter OF fact, if the bucket shops are
wrong, the right remedy is to suppress
them by prosecution under the criminal
law, and if the Board of Trade or its
members are indulging in a bucket
shop business, the thing to do is to get
the criminal law after them"

ANOTHER SLAVE OF WASHINGTON

ANOTHER SLAVE OF WASHINGTON
George Washington Freeman Hor-
ner Green, former negro slave, died
n the almshouse at Hampstead, L. L.,
yesterday, at the reputed age OF 123
years. Green is said TO have been born
on farm near Elizabethport, n. j.,
on January l, 1777. He was sold to Il
Virgin a planter named HorDer, by
whom, it is said, he was sold to General
Washington. 10 1912 he was made a
freeman, and then went North, and
was employed by George Green, a
Long Island farmer. with whom he re-
NAMED for 40 years. Green's faculties
remained unimpaired until 10 years
ago, when his sight and hearing began
70 fail, and be entered the poorhouse,
where he had lived ever since. He
used both whisky and tobacco, but is
said never to have shown any bad ef-
fscts from either. He was married
several times, and is said to have been
the father of 81 children, most OF whom
are dead.

THE people of tue island of st. Tnom-
as, like Columbus when he sailed the

two, and, as the result, have petitiOned
the King of Denmark to regard the
principle that government depends I'D
on the consent of the governed, and,
therefore, not to sell them to the United
States, as Spain did the people of the
Philippines. They realize the fact that
the rulership of a foreign monarchy is
not the best in the world, but that it is
infinitely preferable to that OF foreign
republic, such as Mr.. McKinley's.

The Christmas attraction at the

OF unusual merit. but one that will
prove highly popular to the theatre-go-
ers in this city. Manager Felnler has
succeeded In arranging with creston
Clarke for two appearances here, natl
nee and night, on Christmas Day, in
what may well be termed two OF his
most interesting and successful per-
formances, David Garrick." and 1.-THE
Last Of His Race Mr.. Clarke and his
talented and attractive principal sup
port, Miss Adelaide Prince, are too well
known to need any special introduction
or communication here In Wheeling.
David Garrick" will be given at the
matinee, and THE Last of His Race"
at night, additional interest attaching
to both performances by reason OF the
fact that they will be given q special
and elaborate setting OF scenery ana
properties. Mr.. Clarke's supporting
company remains practically unchang-
ed, which guarantees a most satisfac-
tory presentation OF his plays.
