Senator Harris, of Kans., said
in a recent interview: "The
republicans are wonderfully
lucky. Good crops and pros
perity have. given them many
thousand of votes in Kansas
and there is a bright outlook
for splendid crops again this
year. The party gets the bene-
fit of such dispensations of
providence, for republican poll
ticians claim it is their own
handiwork."

able to the press. Mrs. McKin-
ley is a brave little woman or
she would not have undertaken
the trip in her feeble state of
health.

population of 10000, being ex-
ceeded in this respect by only
three cities in the coun trv.

are white. Indeed, they must
be, or Philadelphia wouldn't t
have so much to say about the
south's treatment of the race.

that the president has denied
that he had declined to receive

Grafton, such action isn't sur
prising at all.

in the explanation saying that
the extraordinary efforts of the

MUST PAY ALiMoNY.
Salary Of Retired Army Officer Is
Subject to Attachment,

Washington, May 22.-Justice Gray
has announced the opinion of the Unit
ed States supreme court in the case of
Robert W. Shufeld, retired captain
in the army. The case involved the
question of the exemption of his sal
ary as an officer of the army from an
order Of the court to pay alimony to
a divorced wife. The courts of the
District Of Columbia held the salary
to be exempt on the ground that it is
gratuity from the government and
could not be SO attached. The opin-
ion reverses these decisions. holding
salary under such circumstances to be
subject to an attachment.

Although his follow physicians We're
encouraged by the promising condition Of
Dr. M. E. Downes in the Delaware Hos
piial yesterday at noon, he was taken
worse later IN the day and died about
O'Clock in the afternoon without making
any statement that would throw any
light ON his peculiar case.
The attendant physicians agree that
death was due to laudanum and lead pol
soning, but the general impression Is that
the drug was not taken with suicidal in
iont.

4.d Mrs Draper. his mother-in-law, were

The wife of Dr. Downes was visiting In

poisoned mans pocket was of her.
The iaudanum probably was purchased
from the drug store Of Beck and Starting.

label was found on him.
DR. Downes was "a years of age, and
was highly respected In Magnolia. He was
widely known through Kent county, and
his reputation was OF the best.

doctor should take his own life, and arc

SCENES OF WILD EXCITEMENT

Corner 10 Northern Pacific The ImpeIiDg Cause Of The
Crisis, Which Was Without Precedent in The
Memory Of The Oldest Trader

Of uneasiness retaining large force in
the financial district
The state Of excitement was very ap-
parent ell through the financial district
during the period Of the panic. but
there vera few sensational scenes.
Now and then a whitefsccd woman
would peer from a cab outside a brok-
er's Office and would be driven OF in
a fainting condition after receiving a
message from the interior. Wherever
any near approach could be made to a
ticker or to a board on which quota
tions we're posted there were great
throngs of excited spectators scram-
bling for view OF the course Of the
market. But the real stress Of the oc-
casioD came upon men who were shu;
up in either their private offices OF
those Of brokers, or who were strug-
Cling and even fighting on the floor OF
the exchange.
In the brokers' Offices sat many men
who were reduced to absolute ruin as
q result Of Is minutes proceedings OF
the stock exchange. Some of these
have been made opulent within a few
weeks past as a result Of the unparal.
leled rise of prises. With the trut
gambling spirit they have replaced al
their winnings in new ventures OF
each successful turn. Yesterdays drop
therefore, wiped them all out. In many
cases one could see the gamblers for
titude with which the chances Of gaiI
were accepted. But the glittering at
traction of this market has brough
into It a constantly increasing assert
ment of more staid and inexperienced
spectators; men and women who hav'
brought long standing hordes from Sc
cret places and from savings bank de
posits with the determination to maxi
one successful stroke and then retir
with the proceeds. The demonstration
from this class, which includes man.
women spectators, furnished the hys
terical scenes and sensations.
