A CUP FOR Upton.
Chicago Athletic Club. Does Sir
Thomas Honor

Chicago, Oct. 16.-At the Chicago Ath-
1etic club last night a banquet was Civ
en- in honor of Sir Thomas Upton and
he was also made the recipient of a
massive silver loving cup presented by
his friends in Chicago
For an hour prior to the comm ence-
ment of the banquet Sir Thomas held a
reception in the parlors of the club
house, exchanging greetings with hun
dreds of men prominent in financial
and professional circles who called to
pay their respects to the owner of the
Shamrock
The rooms were hung with flags of
the international signal code and many
American and British emblems inter
twined. Over the head of the guest of
the evening as he stood exchanging
good wishes with the long line of men
who called to meet him was hung an
enormous yellow flag in the center of
which was a huge green shamrock The
reception was over at O'Clock and the
banquet commenced a few n inutes af-
ter that hour. The decorations of the
banquet hall were of strictly nautical
design, entwined with smilax, lau-
rel and evergreens. A model of the
Shamrock II complete, with all sails set
was placed in front of Sir Thomas.
The presentation of the loving cup
was made the occasion of a great dem
onstration, the guests rising to their
feet and cheering Sir Thomas again and
again.
Sir Thomas replied in a brief speech
of thanks for the honors that had been
shown him in Chicago, alluded feelingly
to the many kind messages he had re-
ceived from all parts of the country
since he arrived from the yacht races.
He said he was seriously considering
making third effort to win the Amer
ica's cup and his announcement was
greeted with cheers.
Sir Thomas will remain in the city for
the remainder of the week and many
other entertainments will be given in
his honor, chief among which will be
banquets by the Columbia Yacht club
and the Bankers club.

DOCTORS DON'T KNOW.
They Cannot Tell Why President Nc
Kinley Died.

New York, Oct 16.-The physicians
and surgeons who attended President
Mckinley through the closing days of
his life, today presented to the State
Medical society gathered here in semi
annual session, a lengthy report cover
ing the medical and surgical history OF
the case. 1t was signed by Dr. Matthew
D. Mann. Herman Mynter, Eugene
Wasdin, Charles G. Stockton, p. NJ
Rixey, Roswell Park and Charles Nc
Burney and was read by DR.. Mann, who
discussed the features as he proceeded
No reporter was present, but general
summary of it was given out by one OF
the physicians.
Dr. Mann did not mention the opera
ton, emitting that altogether. He de-
scribed the presidents symptoms and
treatment from day to day, going into
the fullest details
In speaking of the bulletins issued,
DR. Mann said that every one of them
was absolutely true. None had been
misleading in any manner. He told Of
the progress of the patient from day to
day until the unfavorable turn, very
sudden one, of the seventh day and he
said he mentioned that to show that
the bulletins issued were true and not
misleading. DR. Mann said that there
was absolutely no meteorological infec-
ton. Continuing, he said:
IF you ask me what caused the pres
1OenLS OeaIn L cOlllu not tell EOt L
doubt If that will ever be discovered.
Among contributary causes, however,
were the presidents age, his lack of ex-
ercise, and his naturally weak heart,
which made his pulse high"
DIR. Mann was asked by one of the
listening medical men why the K ray
was not applied so that ths missing
bullet might be located Dr.. Mann re-
piled that there was nothing in the con-
dition of the patient to show that the
bullet was doing any harm, and he said
that if the x ray had been used it
would only have been to satisfy the
curiosity of the physicians ana the ex
citement attending the operation would
have been harmful to the patient, SO the
doctors refrained from using the x ray
apparatus
time whatever had there been the
slightest disagreement among the
physicians. He said that complete har-
mony N arked every bit of the time they
were in attendance on the president He
said he never had known of such COM
plete harmony among physicians in at
tendance on a single patient.
DIR. Mann did not say anything of the
autopsy, but he described the technical
treatment of the president daily.
DR.. Herman Mynter, a colleague of
DR.. Mann in the presidents case cor
roborated all DR.. Mann said He spoke
of the fine traits of the president and
of the remarkable exhibition of pat
fence Mr. Mckinley had displayed. DR..
Mynter spoke very feelingly of the
Christian charity of President McKin-
ley toward his assassin and said that
the presidents manner of bearing his
trials was so impressive that there was
not one of the nurses who would not
have gladly taken his place.

FOUND WARM PLACE.
Homeless Charles Bodwell Slept Near
Clty Hall Furnace.

Ever since cold weather commenced
a man has been sleeping in the base
nent of the city hail. close to the big
furnaces which heat the building, and
the city officials just discovered it yes
terday The mans name is Charles
Bodwell. He is about 60 years old, and
is said to have a sister living in. To-
peka. He has no home family.
Bodwen obtained entrance to the
basement of the city hall through d
door leading down from the back part
of the fire department room. The door
to the stairway has never been kept
locked, and it was easy for the man
to get in
1t is said that Bodwel1 slept in the
basement considerabl last winter, and
was also housed part of the time in the
fire department building in the west
part of town.
The way it was discovered that Bod
well had been sleeping in the building
was the fact that it was found that
the incandescent light in the basement
was burning several times in the morn
ing when the engineer went down to
fire up the engines. 1t is supposed that
Bodwell slept in an old upholstered
chair which the engineer kept down
there for his own use. No traces We're
found of a bed.

CANON STANDS.
EpiscopaIians Vote Down Any
Change Regarding Divorces.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 16.-The
troublesome question of marriage and
divorce was set at rest for another
three years by the action of the house
of deputies of the triennial Episcopals
in rejecting both of the proposed can
ons on the subject, which were passed
by the house of bishops. The greatest
fight of the convention has been over
section of canon SO, virtually forbid
ding the remarriage of a divorced per-
son. This had passed the house of
bishops and been announced by aye
and nay vote in committee of the whole
of the house of deputies. Then the
committee arose and reported its work
to the house, and decisive vote was
taken not only on the troublesome
fourth section, but on the entire canon,
which was rejected as a whole.
Canon 81, which provides for the dis
ciplining of persons marrying again
after being divorced, met with a SIM
liar fate.
The house of deputies passed an
amendment to- article 10 of the consti-
tuition permitting modified forms of
worship, which in spirit is similar to
the famous Huntington amendment re-
ed, though credited to DR. McKim, of
Washington, was in reality presented
to the convention of three years ago
by DIR. Huntington.
The bishops have yet to act before
the amendment can become part of
the constitution.
Bishop Hughes appointed members of
a standing committee capital and

ject, with a view to the peaceful set

WAS NO DEAD Man
State House Officers Thought
They Had Found a Suicide.
Was Hanging to Flagstaff on
Top of Dome.
LONG WEARY CLIMB.
1t Was Made at Dead Hour of
Night.
Found That Supposed Corpse
Was Only a Door.

The astute night watch at the state
house had big scare and a big climb
last night The three officers who guard
the big building nights made trip to
the Flagstaff on the dome to cut down
a supposed suicide. AS it turned out
they had their trip for their pains.
When the night watch came on at
dusk one of them noticed that there
was something out of place on the tip
of the dome at the base of the flagstaff
Som ething was leaning against the
base of the pole. 1t looked a great deal
like the head and shoulders OF a man.
Nightwatch J.W Chandler told Night
watch Tom Stanley and Stanley went
out on the grounds to take = look He
came back and went out again to be
satisfied for the nightwatch council had
come to the determination that some
man had gone up to the dome, tied d
rope to the Flagstaff and hung himself
through the trap-door.
C W. Miller, who guards the money
end warrants stamped unpaid for
want of funds in the state treasury,
at night, suggested that they get a
lantern, go up to the dome and cut the
man down.
They all went out for another look at
the dome from the state house grounds
before starting the climb. Oddly
enough they could see the outlines of
esOA14clAAAAS ICSlAllS against Tie DdSG
the flagstaff from the east or west, but
when they stood on the north or south
sides of the building they could see
nothing. They decided that the man
was facing east or west and was too
thin to be seen from north or south or
else was hidden by the pole.
They got a lantern and made the
climb They took off their coats before
starting. Chandler weighs something
over 200 and he was the hottest man

sas, both mentally and physically
when the party had finished their climb

climb was not made easier by the dark
ness and no light but the feeble glim-
mer of a lantern.
Nightwatch Miller elm bed the last 10
feet of the task alone. Tt was up the
ladder in the lantern of the dome and
brought him out at the foot of the flag

The climbers then found that the
wind had blown the cap of the lantern,

New York, Oct. B6.--The reactionarv
movement of yesterday afternoon win be
continued this morning and we look for a
further decline in the early trading based
on the unfavorable developments In con-
nection with Amalgamated Copper and
the accumulation of out of town selling
orders
Trading will be purely professional and
there is no disposition to work on the
short side except to a moderate limit. con-
sequently short covering this afternoon
and a renewal of the manipulative buying
may be expected to advance prices in the
late dealings
We advise the purchase of stocks for n
quick turn of to points on the early
ddecline and would take on some St, Paul.
Southern Pacific. Pennsylvania Peoples
Gas, B. r. II. and New York Central.
The report that the Pennsylvania will
declare an extra dividend of l per cent
on common from the same source that
was correct in it's statement at the time
of the last extra dividend
Copper is likely to work lower, but in
siders are buying on the decline and 1t IS
a dangerous stock to sell short.
London is dull with prices about at New
