Millionaire Gates Repudiates story Com
Ing from Aix-Ie- Bains.

Ing from Aix-le- Bains.
London, Sept. John w. Gates of
Chicago, who arrived in London
Thursday from AK Les Baines. was
asked what truth there was in the
story that he had discovered a bank
cheating him out of S15O00O.
Il never heard of the story" said
Mr.. Gates.
But it was in all the London pa
pers." he was informed.
IL can't help that" said Mr.. Gates.
What the London papers or the Am
erican papers print is not a concern of
mine. have 100000 to give to char
ity If any one can show five consecu-
tive newspaper paragraphs mentioning
my name that are correct. l think
such thing an impossibility."
eff you want an item Of news, l
have just received a cablegram that
the steel strike is all settled" Mr..
Gates continued 1.-THE Chicago roll
ing mills were never involved, as the
men did not so out, but am now in
formed the whole strike is settled"
Mr.. Gates will stay in London some
weeks.
The story was that Mr.. Gates while
playing open bank" at AK Les
Baines, had seen fan lightly held in
a fair hand, carelessly fall down on
the table and push some coins over
the white line.
Mr.. Gates had seen, too, a croupier,
possibly carried away by the general
excitement of the moment, push
across 1000 francs ($4OO) to certain
player, where he should have paid 200
francs ($40), and it was by no means
the first time that similar mistakes
had occurred
Early on the following morning Mr..
Gates left Paris, but not before he had
an interview with those responsible for
the management of the cardrooms.
These gentlemen, it is stated asked
Mr.. Gates if anything in the nature
of the play had not been to his salts
faction to leave his account with
the Caisse open. 1t was a trihe of
some $4,000 francs (S1G,OO0). Mr..
Gates answer was short and to the
point
Il do not care a red cent for the
money" he explained, but l prefer to
play with-well-with men who play
the game" Then he filled a check for
the amount debited against him.

for the building Of the arbor for this

upon us, and we want strong doctrine;
not only love, but Justice; not only

I remember what Mr.. Finney said
in a schoolhouse. The village was so
bad 1t was called Sodom, and it was
said to have only one good man in all
the village, and he was called Lot,
and Mr.. Finney was preaching in the
school house, and he described the de-
struction of Sodom, how the city was
going to be destroyed unless they re-
pented and that there would be rain
from heaven of sorrow and destruc-
ton unless they, too, repented. And
the people in the school house sat and
ground their teeth in anger and clinch-
ed their fists in anger, but before he
got through with his sermon they got
down on their knees and cried for
mercy while mercy could be found. oh,
it is mighty gospel; not only an in

NOTED WOMAN sUFFRAGIsT.

Gen. Cassius NJ. CIay's Daughter Has
Done Much for Her Sex in Kentucky.
Within the past twelve years Miss
Laura Clay, woman suffragist and
daughter of the famous old Whitehall
general, Cassius NJ. Clay. has revolu
tionized the position of women IN Ken
lucky. She is the president and found
er of the Equal Rights Association OF
Kentucky and under her leadership
wonders have been accomplished. She
is a mild-mannered. blue-eyed, round
faced little woman of pleasing address,
but in pertinacity and vigorous intel
lect she is her noted fathers daughter.
From girlhood she has been a stanch
advocate Of the idea that commercial
ly, legally, professionally and politi-
cally, woman is and should be recog-
nized as the equal of man. In 1888 she
began the serious battle for this idea.
She was chosen president Of the State
Equal Rights Association in that year
and appeared in Frankfort with GER
tain bills which the association wished
to have passed. At first politicians
laughed the matter away, but ere long
they found occasion to review their
opinion of the equal rights propaganda.
They passed some of the bills and
thought that ended the matter, but the
next session found the women lobby
ing as actively as ever. Bills were
passed going step further, and now
the committee from the Equal Rights
Association is one of the fixtures at
Frankfort.

Health Com mandments,

The requirements Of health can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest. The first two requirements affect
the blood, and as the blood circulates
all over the body, including the brain.
every part is affected. Fresh air af-
fects the purity of the blood. The
freshest air is out of doors, and 1t is
the duty of every one who wishes to be
in good health to spend a certain
amount of time in the open air. Good
food is not necessarily expensive food.
Exercise and rest should alternate and
balance each other. 1t is quite posi-
BILE to take too much exercise. and this
side of the question must be guarded
against as carefully as the other

A HannY DOY

oldenburg, ILL.,, Sept. 2d:-The doc
tors all failed in the case of little thir-
teen-year-old Willie Keil, who suffered
with acute Rheumatism.
For over three months the poor little
fellow suffered excruciating torture.
His father, who had done everything he
could think of, saw new Rheumatism
Remedy advertised - Dodd's Kidney
Pills. He bought some, and soon his
little son showed signs of Improvement.
Three boxes cured him completely, ana
he has not a symptom Of Rheumatism

This miraculous cure OF case which
had been given up by the physicians
has electrified Madison County, and
Dodds Kidney Pills are much talked

AmEaFcL's HOTTEST PLACE.
The Heat of the Death Valley Exceeds
That of Other spots.

The hottest place in the United
States, so far as the official records go,
is in the famous Death Valley, In
southern California, dead sea gorge
without the sea. The valley is narrow,
only few miles in width, but about
$50 in length. 1t lies 400 feet below the
bottom Of the sea, and its bottom Is
covered with sheet of salt, white and
glittering in the sun. The Amargosa
river, although usually it's bed is dry,
traverses a large desert tract in south
ern Nevada, flows to the south, when 1t
flows at all, and ends in the Valley of
Death, the northern portion of which
gradually rises to the level OF the sur
rounding deserts, so that the physical
geography of the valley closely re-
sembles that of the Dead sea, great Salt
lake, and other inland bodies of water
having no outlet. In 1891 a scientific
expedition was sent to the valley by
the government, and for five months
a weather station was maintained in
the valley for the purpose of observing
the prevailing conditions. What they
were may be best understood from the
statement that for the entire month OF
July the average temperature for both
day and night was 102 degrees, while
an almost uniform record of 122 de-
grees was maintained during the day
light hours.

Director OF Railroad the Victim of an
Employees Sarcasm.
A railway director, who can take
joke as well as he can give one, is the
good-natured subject of the following
story: One of the employees of the
road made application to him for a
pass, in order that he might go home
to visit his family.
You are in our employ?" asked the
director.
Eyes, SIR"
"And you receive your pay regular
ly?"
II do"
well, let us suppose that you were
working for a farmer Would you ex-
pect your employer to take out his
horses every Saturday night and drive
you homer"
mo, sir" answered the man, with
out moments hesitation. II should
hardly expect him to do that; but IL
the farmer had his horses out and was
going my way, should think he was
a pretty mean man If he refused to
give me lift"
And the more the director thought
of it, the more II seemed to him that
his question had been very satisfac-
torily answered. The man got the
pass.

Millionaire in odd Plight.

Paris, Sept. 3.-Charles Vaughan, a
millionaire, 26 years DID, was noticed
wandering in evening dress in the
toughest quarter of Paris, occasion
ally seating himself on the edge of the
pavement and holding his head in
both hands, evidently struggling hard
to kill his thoughts. Some policemen
observing his queer movements, ques-
toned him and found that he had
completely forgotten his name, ad-
dress, whether he was wealthy or poor
married or single. Eight months ago
Vaughan married Janice Merivale, a
New York girl who is now visiting
relatives in Washington.

BIG FLOODS IN CLEVELAND.
Immense Damage Done in the
Ohio City.
PALATIAL HOMES IN WATER.
District Eight Miles Long and Mile
and Half Wide Is Devastated -
Citizens Rescued in Boats-Loss Esti-
mated at SI,OOO,OOO.

Cleveland, Sept. 3.-Angry floods
swept over a district eight miles long
and mile and half wide in the best
part OF this city yesterday afternoon
and last night, doing immense dam
age to property. The deluge was due
to unprecedented rainfall, accompanied
by a cloud-burst. The precipitation
was the greatest in the history of the
city, amounting to 4.28 inches in four
teen hours. Last night, after a brief
respite, rain began falling again, and
further damage is feared. Costly res
licences in the fashionable quarter were
speedily inundated and the panic
stricken occupants were taken out in
boats. Not only were the living driv-
en- from their homes, but the turbulent
waters ravaged two cemeteries, tear
ing out the collins and tossing them
and their contents into the wreckage,
which represents a property loss of
$1,000,000 Streets, bridges, railway
lines, telegraph and telephone poles
fell before the terrific onslaught. Beau
tiful parks have been devastated
churches and residences undermined,
flooded and filled with debris of every
conceivable sort. 1t seems marvellous
that no lives were lost. Hundreds Of
residents who were imprisoned in their
beautiful homes like stranded island
ers, were almost panic-stricken, ex-
pecting to be called upon to wade out
into the swirling waters at almost any
minute. Danger signals were flashed
about the city as speedily as the dis
abled telephone system would allow,
and the work of rescue commenced.
Row boats piled back and forth, as
sisting whole families from perilous
positions, but these proved pitifully
inadequate, and it was soon found nee
essary to go to the extraordinary pre-
caution of calling on the life-saving
crew from the river, distance of sew
en- miles. The lifeboats were quickly
loaded on theatrical scenery wagons
and hurried to the scene Of destruc-
ton. The torrent surged with awful
force for hours in Deering street from
Paramount to the boulevard and over
a dozen families were penned in like
rats in a trap, with water five and six
feet deep surrounding their homes. At
this point the life-saving crew worked
valiantly and, assisted by squads of
firemen and policemen, finally succeed
ed in landing the terror-stricken peo-
pie in places of safety. The fear was
greatly enhanced by the momentary
expectation that the great Shaker
Heights dam would break loose and
belch forth terrible destruction. Petrie
street the sole means of transporta-
tion between the Polish settlement Of
5000 families and the remainder of the
city, is half washed away, having
caved into Morgan Run. 1t will take
5000 loads Of dirt to fill the hole in the
street Two cemeteries were torn up
by the foods that swept through them.
Collins were disinterred and foated
about on the muddy water with their
silent occupants. Boys on RATS and
boats towed them about without think
ing what they were. The total loss is
estimated at 100000.

BEAN FAMINE ON IN BOSTON.
Favoritc Food of the Hub Is Scarce and
Price Doubles.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 3.-Many Bos-
tonians did not enjoy their customary
repast of beans today, because the
scarcity of this staple food amounted
to almost famine. About 400, 900
bushels Of beans are annually con-
sumed in Boston, and not in twenty
years has the price exceeded S1.50 a
bushel. Now, however, owing to a
short crop in New York, Michigan,
California and Canada last year, the
supply is nearly exhausted and the
price has jumped to So a bushel and
is still soaring. The California crop
this year is reported to be large and
when it comes in the price of beans
is expected to go back to about nor
NAL. Meantime beans are a luxury in
hotels and cafes.
