To Save Conference Academy.

When the report of the president
and board of trustees of the Will
mington Conference Academy was
read in conference, the members
were made fully aware that it is
necessary to take immediate action
to pay the indebtness of the insti-
tuition or allow a fOreclosecure,
which would mean an entire loss
of the academy. There are debts
against the institution amounting to
about $500 and heroic measures
are recommended for the payment
of the same, as holders of certain
mortgages threaten foreclosure. 1t
also is necessary to fill the school
with pupils and keep it full. AT
ter the reading of the report, the
officials of the board presented
plans for meeting the emergency.
The board of trustees of the acade-
my, as a practical measure for rails
ing the debt, recommended that
the entire amount be carefully ap-
portioned to the several pastoral
charges, and that supreme effort
be made on the first or second Sun

HARRINGTON.

Great excitement was caused
here on Tuesday by the appearance
of State Detective B. ]. McVey,
who Immediately upon his arrival
went to Justice-of-th Peace Joseph
A. Ward, and swore out a warrant
for the arrest of d. J Bending who
is suspected of having murdered
Geo. w. Hearn, near the home of
Thomas Bending in broad daylight
on March 18th last. Bending was
arrested and taken before Justice
of-the- Peace Ward and given a
hearing. Much new evidence was
given that was not brought out at
the Coroner inquest. The nature
of the new evidence was not made
public, but was considered by Es-
quire Ward of sufficient strength to
hold Bending for his appearance at
court. Bending was taken in Gus
tody by Detective McVey and con-
fined in the town lookup. He was
taken to Dover Jail Wednesday
morning by Constable Minner to
await the action of the grand jury.

the WeIl-Known Novelist.

LONDON, July 16.-In the House of Lords
state for war. in the course Of an announce
ment that Mr.. Brodrick selecting
committee of women TO visit the concen-
alton camps in South Africa said the
whites in those camps numbered 4.620 men,
277u women and 1908 children. He said
also the mortality for the month of June
was 63 men, 13S women and 576 children.
Lord Raglan deplored the heavy mortality
in some of the camps in the early months
of their establishment.

May Not Last Long.

NEW YORK. July 15.-The Evening Post
says: cables received by foreign banking
houses in this city confirmed the above
cable as to the difficulty of obtaining loans
In London on United States Steel Corpora
ton shares. One of the best known for
eign bankers in the city said: London
bankers have never done quite the same
thing before. Their attitude is wholly new
so far as American stocks are concerned.
Some time ago they declined 10 loan on
mining shares, but under the circumstances
that refusal did not amount TO much. IL
must be remembered. however. that Lon
don has not the facilities OF the New York
call loan system and that whatever funds
are tied up at this settlement day must
hold over the fortnight For this reason
they are naturally disturbed at the strike
news and the apparent uncertainty of the
situation. But the discrimination, what
ever IL Is, may not last long After the
furry is over and the heavy drop in the
price of Steel shares (part of which has
been already made good Is over affairs
will be adjusted. Again. London has had
her hands fun all along in providing a mar
ket for these securities. Then. too. London
bankers never require margin on loans

MR.. BRYAN STRIKES BACK
HE CRITICISES THE LATE OHIO DEM
OCRATIC CONVENTION.
Thinks Ii BIundered i'm Not Indorsing
the Kansas City Platform and,
Therefore, Himself.

LINCOLN, Neb, July 15-In an extended
comment on the platform adopted by the
Ohio Democratic convention w. j. Bryan
criticises the convention for its failure to
reaffirm the Kansas City platform and for
what he regards as the weakness of some
of the planks il did adopt. Mr.. Bryan in
making himself (Bryan) an issue, and says:
"Mr. Bryan is not a candidate for any Of
flee. and a mention of him might have been
construed by some as an Endorsement of
him for office. The vote should have been
upon the naked proposition to indorse the
platform of last year. and then no one
could have excused his abandonment of
Democratic principles by pleading his dis
like for Mr.. Bryan"
Referring to the platform he continues:
'"rhe convention not only failed but re-
fused TO indorse reaffirm the Kansas
City platform. and. from the manner in
which the gold element has rejoiced over
this feature or the convention, one would
suppose that the main object OF the con-
vention was not TO write a new platform,
but to repudiate the one upon which the
last national campaign was fought The
gold papers assume that the convention re-
fused to adopt the Kansas City platform
because it contained silver plank. If so.
IL would have been more courageous TO
have declared openly for the gold stand
ard If the gold standard is good. il ought
to have been indorsed-if bad. il ought TO
have been denounced. To ignore the sub
ject entirely was inexcusable The money
question is not yet out of politics. Every
session of Congress will have 10 deal with
it, Republicans declare that II is dead, but
they keep working at II.
Mr.. Bryan comments on parts of the
platform especially those referring TO State
and municipal affairs. He indorses the
nominees OF the convention and urges their
support.
Referring TO the senatorial fight and the
reported candidacy OF John r. Mclean, he
says: Ibid the leaders ignore the money
question in order TO please those who bolt
ed? Or does Mr.. Mclean want to be left
free TO affiliate with the Republican finan-
cial questions in case of his election?"
He concludes as follows: IF any OF the
Ohio Democrats feel aggrieved because the
reorganizing element of the party tri-
umphed at the convention let them not
visit their disappointment upon the State
ticket. but rather see to the nominations
OF senators and representatives who will
select a trustworthy senator. Let them see
TO II also that the State platform Is made
at the primaries next time rather than at
the convention"
