higgins Answers Addicks.

]. Edward Addicks' assertions regarding
the politica: situation in Delaware have
aroused ex United States Senator Anthony
Higgins, who gives out an interview in reply.
Mr.. Higgins declares that Addicks' statement
that Delaware became Republican through
him is absurd He points out that in 1890
Addicks contributed SIS, 900 to the Democratic
campaign fund.
ssWith all respect for President Roosevelt"
said Mr. Higgins, ~ think he has made a
grave mistake, and that it will become more
grave unless he retraces his steps
IF business misfDrtunes we're to strip Ad-
dicks of his money, he would not remain
longer factor in our politics. Apart from
his money he carries weight. With it he
has inflicted upon the state evils the end of
which no one can see,
while bribery has, unhappily, prevailed
in this state for many years, it was in but q
modified degree. It is true that it had not
touched the negroes. Their vote was cast
for the Republican party from their gratitude
and fidelity, and was against the Democratic
white mans party, always their foe. The
negro vote is now thoroughly and hopelessly
debauched.
..The huge sums of money poured into
small constituencies have caused corruption TO
rise higher aud higher. and reach superior
class Of men heretofore deemed unapproach-
able by money. 1t is on this ground that one
Mr.. Addicks bases his claim that by reform
movement he has retained Delaware.
president Roosevelt cannot maintain the
lofty position he held in the confidence and
admiration of the American people and re-
main in the embrace of Mr.. Addicks. Should
Addicks be elected 10 the United Senate as
result of President Roesevelt's favor, his
career in the Senate would prove living
reproach to the President
''The serious Republicans of Delaware feel
that they cannot build their party on him as
a rock or foundation, aud, whether the Presi-
dent will continue in this course or withdraw,
they will continue to fight their good fight and
to keep their faith

Appalling Death Roll of 1902
From the St. Paul Globe.


Few people realize how frightful have been
the ravages of 1902 by disease and disaster.
Only little more than ten months of the
twelve are gone and yet close to million
persons have been swept across the Styx by
epide MICS, floods and volcanoes.
Early in May series of eruptions in Mar
til6que and neighboring islands in the CARR
bean Sea snufed out countless thousands OF
lives.
Somewhat later the Yellow River of China
overhowed its banks and tens of thousands of
Celestials were drowned like rats in trap.
Not ia forty years has there been such an
epidemic of cholera as for the past six months
has been raging like a prairie fire in Egypt,
Jaran, China and the Philippines. Official
reports show that the disease has been no re-
specter of persons but has ragged with equal
virulence in the slums of Canton and Shanghai
and among those of royal blood in .Pekin.
Neither did the pestlence break out il one
town and spread to another. 1t appears 10
have broken out almost in the same hour in
Manchuria, Shensi and half dozen other
provinces and is now frightfully fatal in almost
every section of China. The busiest men IN
Japan have been the undertakers, aud how
dreadful has been the mortality from the dis
ease in the Philippine archipelago is shown by
the reports made to this Government by
American officials stationed there. Though
the statistics have been kept imperfectly--ln
some sections not at al-the loss by the dis
ease has easily been 1000 people since the
opening of the year.
And now comes the news that an epidemic
of measles is sweeping over western Europe
and has already crossed Behring Sea into
Alaska. Thousands have already died. par
ticularly in Kamschatka, and the living are so
worn out with caring for the sick that they are
in most cases themselves fit subjects for the
hnsnital.

4 SLICK ARTrcLH,
Glasgow Sold Bibles as He Stole the
Horses.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 19.-Today in the
County Court A. j. Glasgow, of MillersviIle,
who cloaked extensive horse stealing opera
tons under the guise of Bible agent. an en-
ergetic worker in church work and an organ
izer of Sund ~ schools, was found guilty on
four indictments for horse stealing.
He was also found guilty on ii indictments
for felonicus entry and larceny of buggies and
harness.
Glasgow was sentenced to FIVE years and
nine months in Jail and to pay fine of 81, 400
and costs.
When Detective Charles White, of York,
arrested Glasgow on charge of horse steal
ing, as the man was leaving the Methodist
Church at MiliersvilIe on Sunday, September
81, those who crowded around the detective
to protest against the arrest of one they had
always held up as an exemplary Christian lit
tie dreamed that one of the boldest horse
thieves that ever operated in Pennsylvania
had at last been overtaken by justice.
Glasgow is said to be study for criminol-
ogists. He has q persuasive tongue and a
degree of personal magnetism that has won
many friends for him. 1t was this that en-
abled the man to so successfully lead dual
life, carrying on his crimes under the very
noses of his friends and church associates
without bringing upon himself the faintest
shadow of suspicion.
District Attorney Croft, of Lancaster, in
commenting upon the case, said:
Glasgow is a marvel, and l consider his
case the most important in Lancaster county
in recent years. Compared to his exploits
these of the Buzzard boys, the Welsh Noun.
tain horse thieves, pale into insignihcance. :
After he was placed in Jail IL additional
charges of horse theft were entered against the
accused.
Six of the horses stolen by Glasgow have
been restored to their owners. A victim OF
the Millerville mans cunning said to Detec-
tive White:
THAT man seemed to be an enthusiastic
admirer ofhorses. He knew everything worth
knowing about horse, and had at his tongues
end every Biblical reference to the animal.
When selling Bibles to his intended victims
he would reel off such quotations as the fol
lowing:
BE ye not as the horse or as the mule,
which have no understanding; whose mouth
must be held in with bit and bride.
"a horse is vain thing for safety; neither
shall he deliver any by his strength.
HE is delighted not in the strength OF a
horse.
s'The horse is prepared for battle. =
Last April Detective White arrested Ches-
ter Cooper, who is now serving a Sky term
in the Eastern Penitentiary for horse stealing.
The detective and the people of the southern
counties Of Pennsylvania we're of the opinion
that Cooper's imprisonment would mean the
end of the practice of horse stealing to which
they had so long been exposed. The continu.
ance of the practice was unexplained until
Glasgow was caught.

Crest of Prosperity Passed.

There was almost panic in the New York
stock market last week, and Boston and other
money centres were affected. Secretary OF
the Treasury Shaw averted panic about a
month sgo by using public funds to tide over
the difficulty, but worse condition prevailed
last week than when Mr.. Shaw put govern
ment funds on deposit to relieve the string
ency.
Henry CIews, in his last weekly market let
ter, says conditions have improved, but that
danger has not passed. He believes the crest
of the wave of prosperity has been passed, and
admonishes conservatism. Here is an extract
from his letter:
sOutside the money market the situation IS
fairly satisfactory. There is little occasion for
concern beyound the fact that high prices are
beginning TO check new enterprises, and de-
clining profits are certainly becoming more
numerous. There Is no doubt that the crest
of prosperity scoUe has been passed and a
partial reaction Is on, although the volume OF
business seems large when measured in dol
lars. When quantities are used for comparI-
sons the results are not so gratifying"

Armours Make Wheat Soar

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Wheat ran far away
from corn today on the Board of Trade.
Armour & Co. openly bought enough May and
December wheat to send prices soaring.
Taking advantage of an early break of !
cent be took fally 1000, 600 bushels more May
and December, thereby forcing prices up
la24 cents. The May holding of that house
now probably aggregates from 100000 to
Is. 600, 900 bushels.
Wheat has been an Armour market since j..
A. Pettin threw overheard his MAJ line in
October. The price has been stubornly adj
vanced when Armour buying was apparent,
and acting heavy when The support was re-
moved Now that the Western movement to
market has fallen of materially the bulls have
begun forcing matters.
"Joe" Letters December corn went over
board today. 1t is said he pocketed close to
500, 600 profit on the first deal in which he
has figured since he lost between $40 600, 900
and $l3, 900, 600 in 1892. His winnings we're
said to average between 6 and cents bushel
on at least 1000, 600 bushels.

Queer Doings of a Cow.

The 5-year-old Jersey COW raised from a
calf by Mrs. Emory c. Shipley, of Texas, Nd,
jumped down the John c. Bosley quarry at
Texas last Wednesday morning, the distance
being 90 feet, and struck on the rocks below
which were covered with about two feet of
water She then rolled into the deep water.
Notwithstanding the great fall she managed to
keep af1oat until pulled out by Mr.. Shipley
The COW acted very peculiarly on Monday,
when she ran away and jumped into the Ship
ley quarry. which is filled with 40 feet Of water.
The animal swan about aud then got out.
On being driven home she turned and jumped
in again Mr. Shipley and others dragged
her out After little while she was able to
walk to the stable, where she was securely
fastened. Wednesday morning she butted
down the door, breaking horn in the act, and
also rammed a stonewal on her way TO the
Boslev quarry The animal is supposed to
have fits or is mad. She is small for her age.

Mrs. Nation at the Horse Show.

New York, Nov. 20.-Mrs. Carrie Nation,
the Kansas reformer, created the sensation of
the season at the Horse Show today. She
harangued the great gathering of fashion ON
the evils Of overdress, attempted to break
bottle of champagne and finally was expelled
from the building by the police.
The Kansas smasher entered the garden
quietly and took seat in the tier. She had
been there only few minutes when her gaze
rested on the box where some members of the
Vanderbilt family were sitting. Studying her
program intently she descended 10 the prom
enade. Stationing herself in front OF the
Vanderbilt box she delivered TRADE an over
Dress In the box were seated Mrs. Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt Reginald Vanderbilt and
Miss Nelson, his iancee. Alfred Vanderbilt
was leaning against the rail OF the promenade
and did not see Mrs. Nation approach.
.You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, y
the woman screamed at them; ''you ought to
be ashamed to wear such disgraceiul clothes:
Take them off take them off at once, and
attire yourselves more modestly."
Alfred Vanderbilt in moment left his posi-
ton at the rail, went over to where Mrs:
Nation was standing and wiping her forehead
with a handkerchief. He whispered some
thing in her ear and pushed her away from the
box.
The outburst of the woman attracted great
crowd of people, and the occupants OF the
Vanderbilt box were evidently very much en-
barrassed. Mrs. Nation then turned her at.
tention to other boxes. Finally she started
for the cafe, where she bore down on party
of men who were drinking wine.
Mrs. Nation seized the bottle and garing at
the men shouted:
"Young men. don't drink such filthy stuff
You are going straight 10 hi. Where is the
man who sells this stuff? Show him to me
and will tell him what think of him"
Mrs. Nations request was speedily granted
by the sudden appearance of M. Villepigue,
the caterer at the Garden.
"Get out of this horrible business" she
shouted at him. 'sYou are also going to hi
and running the bodies and souls of men,. You
are dragging them down with you. Shame
on you'll Shame on your
The Frenchman, however, ran to Mrs;
Nation and rescued the bottle, which she had
repeatedly brandished in the air to emphasize
her remarks. Then he pushed her out OF the
door. There the police took hold of the Kan.
sas reformer and forced her out of the building.

Soft Coal Miners May Strike.

There is unrest among the coal miners IN
the Georges Greek coal field, and demand
for increased wages will shortly be made. A
Cumberland dispatch says there are indica-
tons of preparations for a strike. The mi
ners say they want some of the prosperity the
mine operators enjoy. Bituminous coal, like
anthracite, is protected by tariff of 81 cents
a ton. This tax is laid, ostensibly in the IN
terest of the miners, and the miners say they
propose to have share of it. Atpresent the
operators collect it from the people, by adj
ding it to the price of coal.
With shortage of anthracite coal, strike
of the miners in the bituminous field will add
greatly to the discomfort of the people, and
may cause short time in mills and factories
and perhaps shutdown entirely at some,

He Favors a Whipping Post.

Judge Kimball, in the Police Court. Wash
ington, D. c., announced from the bench his
approval of the whipping post as mode of
punishment for wife heaters. In sentencing
Oscar Olson, "a barber. to pay fine of $40
and cost, he said:
1.-THE proper punishment for man who hits
his wife would be about 20 lashes with whip
across his bare back, instead Of fine SEN
tence. In the latter case the wife is punished
again by loss Of support. I'll fine you $40,
and / am sorry | can't sentence you 10 the
whipping post
