THIRD TERM
WHERE BEST INTEREST OF
COUNTRY DEMAND IT.
CONDITIONS MAY ARISE
Which Will Make it Neces-
sary for Mckinley to
Serve Again.

New York, June Ex-senator G. NJ
Depew has written to Congressman
G. H. Grosvenor of Ohio a letter il
which he discusses the recent agita
ton of a third term for Presiden,
Mckinley. He says in part:
Il cannot understand your anxiety
to get from under this awful sugges
ton, and leave as you say, the whole
Of the terrible responsibility upon
Senator Depew,' l felt happy in be
ing in the company. of SO wise and
able q statesman, and part from you
in sorrow but not in anger. Roche.
focaul says to explain is to be damn.
ed, and the press is vigorously doing
that for you since your recent inter.
view; and being now abandoned as
it were, I stand pat and justified"
Discussing the effort to nominate
Grant for a third term, Senator De.
pew says '1t is not precedent or diff
cult, but the factional fight in New
York settled the defeat of Grant and
nomination of Garfield"
"We have been severely criticised
or roundly abused for saying that
there is nothing illegal or immoral
in the people in this country electing
a citizen for IL years instead of eight
and that If present conditions we're
unchanged in 1904 they would GER
tainly require that Mckinley again
assume the presidency.
But it is the most serious charge
yet made against the intelligence Of
the American electors and their ca
pacity for self-government to treat,
as SO many have, a third term as il
it was a crime which might prove a
temptation, and if received with pop
ular favor we would at once, volun-
tarily and with reckless hilarity sac.
rifice our liberty and our institutions.
When the time comes, as it may, that
in some great crisis an Abraham
Lincoln after eight years of the pres
idnecy will in the judgment Of the
people of this country best serve the
highest interests of the republic by
another four years he will receive

sault." The court explained he had
admitted evidence that Barker had
been told of the alleged assault, not
because it had anything to do with
the case, but because it was for the
jury to determine if the story had
anything to- do with making the de-
PENDANT originally irresponsible.
II they believed the defendant was
sane at the time Of the shooting they
must convict.
In his closing Prosecutor Erwin
asked the jurors if the woman's
course was a natural one. He said
her story vas improbable because
Mrs. Barker would in the natural
course have told her husband Of the
assault at once and failing in that,
would have made a confident Of a
woman and not of another man.
The jury's only ballot was unani-
nous for guilty and a unit for the
highest degree charged.
Keller, as soon as the trial was
completed, issued a statement in
which he absolutely denied the truth
of the allegations that have been
made and published by Mrs. Barker.
Barker will probably be sentenced
Thursday next and then his counsel
will file papers in appeal to the su.
preme court. Barker, in an inter-
view tonight said:
II did not expect such q verdict.
1t seemed to me there was a reason

would convict me after hearing my
wife's story. I believe that the SUI

maelstrom after he had dismounted
and verified his weight. Upon shout.
ders of strong men this popular rider
was carried and a detail Of blue coats
had to be called to clear the admiring
throngs from the course. AS for the
earnest, plebian racing tool, Robert
Waddell, he refused to permit the at

gigantic floral saddle which had been
provided for the winner.
Terminus, w. T. Skaters Blazes

WATERToWN VOTERS TO PASS
 UPON FREE TEXT BOOKS.

Indications That Town Meeting Will
 Be Called Very Shortly-C Considera-
 ble Opposition to the Idea Would

 ing of St Johns Parish Festival.
 There Is likely to be in the not dis tant future a special town meeting called for the purpose of giving the voters of Watertown an opportunity to settle the question of whether or not free text books shall be furnished the school children. Judging from the talk tue question will be decided, in the affirmative, although, of course& there is some opposition to this plan as well as to many other ideas suggested. The many other ideas suggested The claim iS made that the town of Wa tertown can purchase the books for less than half of what it now costs the Individual to purchase one. The sta- ticners say not. They hate to lose the sEles No one has yet offered an official figure of the probable cost Of supplying free text books in our local schools. but one man who is opposed to the idea says that it will cost at least S1 400 a year. What if it doesy The parents of those who will be ben etted by the free text books pay the bill, # not directly, then indirectly, so that n the end it is practically the sane thing. Of course many poor peo- pie who own no property or are not assessed on the tax list and yet have children attending school will be helped along considerably by the free text books Of course united labor was instrumental in getting the law through the legislature and naturally labor meE are heartily in favor of hay ing tue free text books in the public schools. If the meeting is held labor will be well represented and some live ly arguments will result And those who figure that there is not serious op- position to the plan will discover at tn. meeting that they were poor guess CTS When the meeting is called it will b. case of get around early # you want a front seat.

 INVERTED AT MASQUERADE.

 Fastenings One Young Lady
 Swooned-Grea Variety of Costumes
 Calico Ball Next Month.
 A small panic was narrowly averted nt the masquerade ball given in Judd'S hall last evening by Hubbell and Thre- auit. Late in the evening one of the big kerosene lamps suspended in the center of the hall fell from its fasten- ings and landed on the floor at the feet of many dancers. Someone shout ed ''Firew and everybody became ex- cited To make matters worse some one kicked the blazing lamp three times and send 1t spinning along the floor, threatening to ignite the flmy costumes Of the dancers every minute. Young women screamed and many rushed for the door, while one young man jumped through q window. One young lady swooned and had to be taken home. Someone started to ring in on alarm to the Oakville fire depart men5. but the committee stopped the movement, claiming that it would be g shame to wake up the department sni send the horses out minus their shoes. The blazing lamp was finally put outside and dancing was resumed oIsce more. This masquerade was more than ordinarily successful. The attendance was large. many coming iron Watertown and places outside the village. Cams orchestra furnished music for the occasion and played va riety of musical selections. A prize had been offered by the management for the most hideous looking costume and another for the best or most real iStic costume. This had the effect to bring out all sorts of peculiar make ups There were clowns in funny col ors, dudes. soldier boys. his satanic majesty, the devil, the farmer. fat man, tan man. Hebrew peddler, Rip Van Wrinkle, hobos. Uncle Sam and dozens of other assumed characters. The costumes worn by the young women were pretty and attractive.

GOLD AND sl.vEa.
The United States Leads the World
 In Pfectous Metal Production.

The IRSfed States Leads the World
 In Precious Metal Production.
 WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Director Roberts of the mint has prepared T statement showing the production of the precious metals for the calendar year of 1900. It shows that the pro- duction Of gold in the world that year was 12.45T, ,2S7 ounces of the value of S257. .514, TOO, less in value. of $49,- orc, POO from 1899. The less was main Iy in the Transyaal field, South Africa, and due to the war. The production of South Africa i'll 1899 was of the value Of, $73. 100 and in 1900 $9.- 671,O0o The principal gains were $8,11S,O0o i'll the United States aud S6,6O6, ,O00 in Canada.

 The silver output of the world amounted to 17S,T96, 796 fine ounces, the largest ever known. It exceeds the product of 1899 by 11.572,513 ounces.
 The United States again leads all other producers, with slight excess advance in the price of silver during the year, the price ranging from 59.1 cents per ounce in January to 66.2 cents in the last month of the year Ihe chief factor in the rise was the purchases for the account of the gov ernment of India.

 ry--G0Od Prices For Wheat.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 26-R. G. Dun ( Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
 With mills, shops. factories and fur naces assured of full operation until the end of the year as T rule and many contracts already running far into 1902, there is no occasion for anxiety regarding the industrial situation. Jobpers are still urgently asking prompt deliveries by manufacturers of staple lines, while opening transactions in fancy goods for the holidays are un- usually early. showing that dealers an- ticipate q large trade.
 Eastern makers of boots and shoes are still engaged on late orders for winter goods, and contracts come in freely from the west for spring lines. In woolen goods conditions are quiet on account of the warm weather, but mills are fully occupied, and producers of knit goods have orders for some time. Strength in the raw material is conspicuous, mills buying freely. In cotton goods the situation is disturbed by the action of large manufactures who advanced wages per cent short time ago and again this week an nounced , per cent rise to go into eff feet on Noy.s4.
 More satisfactory prices are received by domestic wheat growers, last years figures being surpassed. notwithstand- ing the largely increased yield just har vested. Smaller crops of other cereals and hay caused the use of much wheat in fattening live stock, and, with lard more than ? cents above last years prices and mess pork $3 barrel high ceeding.
 Failures for the week numbered in the United States 240 against 205 last year and 29 in Canada against 2S last year.
