SWIFT TRAGEDY REVEAL
ED IN INSANITY COURT
APathetic Story Of Three Elderly Spin
sters Who Lived in Retirement
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The last
scene of a quick tragedy that
wiped out a quaint household
within week was enacted yes
terday afternoon when, in the
insane court at the detention
hospital, Miss Sarah Stanton,
aged 43 years, was committed to
the Cunning asylum. With two
spinSter sisters the woman had
lived for many years in the cot
tage at sos Fulton street. Miss
Lizzie Stanton, Al years old,
youngest of the trio, died sud-
denly of pneumonia last Thurs
day. At the Presbyterian hos
pital on Sunday morning Miss
Maggie Stanton, aged 43, passed
away of the same maIady after a
sickness of five days. Sitting
in the parlor of their little home
beside the corpse of one sister,
while another lay dying in the
hospital, the third sisters reas-
on gave way.
The three maiden sisters came
from Peoria, where their family
is said to have been we'll to- do
and of some social prominence.
Since moving to Chicago they
have occupied cottage in Full
ton street. where they lived a re-
tired life, holding no communica-
ton of any kind with their neigh
bors. They were women of fast
idious taste. of q paint refinement,
and of much culture. Their
bone, furnished in old fashioned
style, was extremely neat and
attractive. Boxes of flowers
frightened the windows. In the
tiny parlor was high-backed
settle of the sort used
in the early part of the
century. A piano of ancient type
stood in a corner. Faded da-
guerreotypes, of a period long
past, hung upon the walls. The
neighbors thought the three
spinsters ''queer."
Early each morning one of
the three went to the corner gro
Gerry to do the days marketing.
Then she hurried back to the Sc
clusion of her home. In the
evenings the sisters, arrayed in
their best gowns, took the air in
their back yard, and the neigh
bors watched them curiously
from rear windows as they sat
in rockers or walked slowly up
and down the yard. They lived
comfortably on the rental of
some property in Peoria, and
upon monthly remittar ces from
their uncles, James and Andrew
Grimes. who still live there.
Miss Sarah Stanton made a
quaint. old-fashioned picture as
she sat on the witness stand in
the insane court. She wore a
gown of lowered silk. Her
black hair was brushed smoothly
back from her forehead, and two
curls of the old style fell about
her ears. She famed herself
with an antiquated fan of hand
painted satin. "Where are your
sisters?" asked DR.. Hunter, test
ing her sanity.
My sisters have recently
moved. They are living in heav-
en-. at present" answered Miss
Stanton, with the air of setting
one right in the matter OF an
address. Then the doctor told
the details of her sad history
to the court.
After one sister had died and
the other had been sent to the
hospital, DR.. H. G. Beebe, who
had been called, had Miss Stan
ton removed to the detention
hospital. The home in Fulton
street has been broken up,
Neighbors have sent all the eff
fects of the three sisters to their
uncles in Peoria.

ITALY GIVES US A N
What Her Five Fast Battleships Could
Do to This Country.

What Her Five Fast BattIeships Could
Do to This Country. (.
We are not accustomed to consider
Italy very much Of a naval power; yet
the five battleships of 20 knots and
better that she, has built or building
might make us endless trouble if we
were so unfortunate as to have them
against us. They could range our
whole coast, destroying everything
afloat except u battleships and our
fastest cruisers, and remaining them
selves in absolute obscurity. They
could cut off all trade between the Uni
ted States, Cuba and Porto Rico. They
could wreck the entrance Of the Mic
aragua canal, if that were finished.
They could go through the Suez canal,
harry u naval force at Manila and
rekindle the instruction in the Phil
ippines. They could loot our coaling
station at Tutuila, carry off our gov
ernor from Guam, as the Charleston
did to the Spaniards, and wreck our
trade with Hawaii. They could devas-
tate our Pacific coast, ruin the shore
mines at Nome and capture the gold
fleet from Alaska. No battleships that
we could send in pursuit Of them could
catch them. The only things with
which we could hope to bring them to
an engagement would be our new ar
mored cruisers, and it might be that
these commerce destroyers, without a
gun heavier than eight-inch, and with
only six inches Of armor, but with the
all-important quality of speed, would
save us from a danger before which
Dur %ponderous battleships would lie
helpless.-New York Journal.

COnomoOner Comment.
Extracts from ". J. Bryan's Paper.
One Mans Great Power.

Walter Wellman, the we'll known
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, writing to his paper under
date of Washington, October 90, said:
President Roosevelt today put his
finger on the button which moves most
of the wires in the United STATES SEN
ate. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island
is the button. lie is the greatest wire
puller in the upper branch of the
American congress-. In all matters
pertaining to tariff and finance he is
by long odds the most influential man
in the senate. He is the acknowledged
prince of the politicians of that body.
He has fixed more tariff schedules to
suit interested parties, defeated more
Legislation hat someone of wealth and
power did not want, achieved a greater
success as a managing editor of the
dignified senate, than any other map
in all its history.
President Roosevelt had Mr.. Aldrich
at the white house today for a lunch
con and a conference. What was said
by either of them no one knows. But
it is presumed that the president en-
deavored to secure Mr.. Aldrich's con-
sent to the ratification of the French
reciprocity treaty as "a sort of start IN
the reciprocity program which the pres
ident has very much, though not too
much, at heart. Whether or not Mr..
Aldrich has consented will come out in
the wash.
1t was intended that the senate as q
body should have power and influence,
in certain matters, coordinate with
the president: but it was never intend
ed that any single senator should nave
not only q greater power than the pres
ident. but the power to move the en-
tire senate"
Senator Aldrich is a republican. He
belongs to that school which the Rec
ord-llerald and it's able correspondent
have told us had a monopoly on the
championship of irrational honor"
But here Mr.. Wellman informs us hat
this champion of national honor has
"fXed more tariff schedules to suit in.
terested parties, defeated more legisla-
ton that some one of wealth and
power did not want, achieved greater
success as managing editor of the Dig
nified senate than any other mar in all
it's history"
And yet we are told that we are liv-
ing in a government in which the peo-
pie rule. We are told that the republic
a party is not the party of a special
class, but that it is a party having an
eye single to public welfare!

Hoar is Consistent.

Senator Hoar has shown his consist
ency by declining an invitation to de-
liver political eulogy on the late
President. In explanation of his re-
fnsal he says that he is extremely busy
just now, but adds:
II ought in %frankness to state an
other and even stronger reason. |
think the culogy on the president
should be delivered by some person
who was in full accord with him upon
h principal political measure of his
administration. | never questioned
his absolute honesty, his devotion to
h public welfare, his love of liberty
and his desire to his duty as God gave
him to see it. l was fully in accord
with him on the great fiscal measures
with which he was identified. But, as
you know, l differed with him and his
administration (and my opinion on
that subject has been strengthened
and not weakened in the lapse of time)
in regard to his policy in dealing with
the Philippine islands,"
Like many others who differed with
MIR. Mckinley on n or more political
questions, Senator IIoar has expressed
his admiration for the many personal
virtues of the dead chief magistrate,
his sorrow at his death and the detes-
tation of the ann of his taking off,
but he thinks, and very properly. that
praise of the presidents views on po-
litical questions should come from
some n in harmony with all the pol
icies of the administration. 1t will be
m hpTpG thnf tho hncSa.h,1cat tc
senator declared that, if an imperial
policy was persued, the fall of the re-
public would date from McKinley's adj
ministration, and it will also be re-
membered that he closed his
bic speech against imperialism by APP
pealing from philip drunk to Philip
sober" He says that his opinion on
this subject has been strengthened
rather than weakened by subsequent
observation. How, then, could he be
expected to deliver an eulogy that
would satisfy partisan republicans?
Opponents of imperialism may be ex-
pected to share in all exercises that
give expression to the unanimous re-
gard for Mr.. Mckinley as a man and
to the respect entertained for the high
office to which he was elevated by his
countrymen, but they cannot be ex-
pected to participate in any demon
stration which could be construed as
an endorsement of the late presidents
change from hostility to ''forcible an
nexation," and criminal aggression"
to the advocacy of benevolent assim-
ilation." The moment the republicans
attempt to use the life or the death of
Mr.. Mckinley to advance the policies
for which their party stands, that mo-
ment they substitute partisan ends for
a patriotic purpose and should confne
their appeals to those who are repub-
licans on all questions.

thlng IN this request of his to have the
execution of Salvarez delayed till mid

change from daylight to darkness was
significant. With this suspicion in my
mind, l took the trouble to learn whom

Ihey are, to a man, picked friends of
MS. Their is some treachery afoot,
you may be sure. Could it be possible
that he has promised to let Salvarez
escape, to gain the girls love?"
1T could be done if Francisco wished
to do it,"
But he must not be allowed to do it.
lt nus be your work to take a dozen
OF your men-men who are not friend-

being watched. That is, secrete your
selves some time before midnight
where you can see the execution. Give
francisco plenty of time to prove his
treachery. If he allows Salvarez to es-
cape, see that the rebel general is at
once killed and arrest Francisco and
bring him before the king"
THAT is easily done.s S-

While all this had been going on,
two forms were crouching close to the
Sliding panel that separated them from
the council room, and every word ut
tered by Gomez and his associates had
been heard by Medworth and Tenn

When the captain had gone, one of
the crouching figures made a sign and
crept noiselessly away. The other fol-

CHAPTER XIV.

The Barred Window.
That evening was dark and cloudy.
BY nine o'clock the largest object
would not cast a shadow.
Jacinta, still weak after the exhaust
Ing excitement of the day. waited al
most breathlessly for the midnight
hour to come. for it was by this time
certain that the plan Of Francisco was
working to perfection. But, SO
strangely are women constituted, even
as she rejoiced in the fact that her
father's life was to be saved, she be-
gan to rebel against the fulfllment of
the promise that had made his saliva
ton possible.
She loathed and despised Francisco,
whom she knew to be a man of low
and brutal tastes, a small, mean soul,
and her heart grew sick when she
thought of the future that must now
be hers-bound to a man upon whom
she would look only with loathing and
contempt.
And as her mind dwelt on the short
comings and evil character Of the man
who was destined to be her husband,
there rose before her the picture of the
handsome young American who had
rescued her from Francisco's evil
hands.
There was a man she could have
loved.
"He loves another" she said to her.
self. "And that other is to be married
to the hateful conqueror. All! if I
were free, why might not the American
love me?"
She cast aside her gloomy thoughts
and went to the window, where, press.
ing her te%ar-stained face against the
bars, she peered out into the starless
night. A slight rustling sound beneath
the window startled her. she took a
step backward in sudden fear.
She listened intently. What was
that A whisper! She listened again.
This time there could be no doubt.
A voice came out of the darkness,
whispering, almost wlistling the name,
"salvarez."
"Are you the daughter of General
Salvarez?" came the voice.
"Yes, yes" she replied. I'VE are
prisoners. l thought you were also
taken"
$50 we were" replied Medworth,
"but Tempest and I escaped"
"You will be captured" said Jacinta,
really alarmed for him. "Why do you
not remain hidden?"
Il came to warn your father--to
save him." was the reply.
Jacinta's breath came hard. She
strained her eyes. and by the aid of
what little light escaped through the
window she saw the handsome face Of
the American upturned to hers.
ITO save my father!" she exclaimed.
"Brave friend! But he is already
safe"
"No, he is not" said Medworth. 81
