MYSTERY SURROUNDS Death
OF CHICAGO POLICEMAN

Chicago, Oct. 8.-Mystery surrounds
the death of Patrolman Michael J.
Glennon of the stock yards station,
whose body was found yesterday in the
south pond of Washington park. The
body was in full uniform. The water
in which it lay was less than two feet
deep. Fellow policemen are unable to
explain Glennon's death. The theory
Of suicide, which was at first ad-
vanced, is not thought tenable by the
mans friends and relatives. There
were no marks of violence on the body
to support the theory of foul play and
no robbery was COMMITTED, the police
mans valuables being found in the
pockets.
1t is believed by the other police
men at the station that Glennon was
overcome by an attack of heart dis
ease and fell into the water

ficient to justify the road, the expense
Of installation has been very slight,
while, on the other hand, if the traffic
should grow, the ordinary track can
be laid and used with the same over
head wires, while the trolley omnibus
can be relegated to another branch,
where it can develop another traffic
territory. Still another instance where
this system, if it is practicable, can be
used in a small town where there is
no trolley system and where current
to operate the line can be purchased
from a local lighting company Two
systems Of this kind are employed
abroad In one the trolley is Of or
binary undermining type, and the
two poles carried on the bus are SINH
lar to those on a car, except that they
are longer and are swiveled both at
the base and at the harp, so that a
certain amount of variation in running
is possible. In the other systems the
trolley runs on top of the wire, as in
the old early Van de Poole system,
and is connected to the omnibus by
two flexible wires.

A SnnerYisOr's Story.

Lockport, n Y, Oct. 9th. - Mr..
George P. PenfOld, Supervisor for the
First Ward of the city of Lockport, has
written the following letter for publ
cation to the newspapers:
1T gives me great pleasure to rec
ommend Dodd's Kidney Pills as a cure
for Kidney Trouble.
My kidneys troubled me more or
less for years and treatment by local
physicians only gave me partial and
temporary relief.
AN old friend, knowing my trouble,
advised me to try DOdd's Kidney Pills,
telling me at the same time how much
they had helped him.
Il used altogether six boxes and
found a permanent cure.
"This was two years ago, and l have
not since been troubled in any way
with pains in the back or any of the
many other distressing difficulties aris-
ing from diseased kidneys"

COAL STRIKE.

Six thousand Illinois citizens signed
a petition to President Roosevelt to
call an extra session of congress. A
temporary receivership is suggested
for the mines.
President Roosevelt will send
Frank P. Sergeant to John Mitchell
with an appeal for the strikers to re-
sumo until congress can Investigate
and pass relief laws.
The entire Pennsylvania national
guard, $4,000 strong, was ordered out
by Gov. Stone, and the operators will

their promise to resume with non
union men.
The wn4Ce house coal strike con-
ference between President Roosevelt,
anthracite railroad presidents, and
John Mitchell, president Of the
miners union, failed because the
operators refused to arbitrate. The
operators denounced the united mine
workers as anarchists, and demanded
troops to enable the reopening of the
mines.
What should President Roosevelt
do?" was asked of prominent men OF
the united States, and answered by
Stuyvesant Fish that soft coal is
abundant at moderate prices; by
Washington GLADDEN. that miners
must not be shot down in the
operators interest; by A. S. Draper
that men willing to work should be
guarded.

Electric Cars Without Tracks.

The average electric-railway man
ager often finds himself confronted
with situation where a certain
amount Of traffic could be secured by
the construction Of a short spur to his
main track, but where there is con-
siderable doubt whether enough pas
sengers can be secured, certainly at
first, to put the line on a paying basis.
Again, there may be places where the
right to lay tracks either cannot be OBJ
tanned or else will be given under such
burdensome restrictions that it will
not be profitable. To both Of these
cases the trackless trolley seems
particularly adapted. If the future
should show that the traffic is not suf-

A Reliable Preparation-A Respon-
Sible Firm.

Of the many remedies before the pub
lie there is, perhaps, none that has given
such uniform satisfaction as Ely's Cream
Balm, the renowned specific for Catarrh
and kindred diseases. For over a quar-
ter of a century it has stood the good test,
growing in popularity as the years roll
by, until the fame of the good work it has
performed has made it a household word
the country over. A soothing eficacious
and entirely harmless balm, it is easy to
apply and brings relief and comfort to
the thousands who are sufferers from
catarrh in this climate. during the fall,
winter and spring seasons. A more re-
liable nor honorable firm than the pro-
priet0rs, Ely Brothers, whose name the
celebrated remedy bears, cannot be found
in any business or profession, so that in
recommending this preparation to suffer-
ers it can truthfully be said that it is
not only meritOriOus as to the ingredients
of which it is composed, but that it is
backed up by honor and integrity as
we'll.

Especial to the News and O~bserver.)
Reidsville, N. c., April 13.-The w
hundred and siXty-fourth session of the
Orange Presbytery, now converting in
the First Presbyterian Church here,
held the most interesting session on
Wednesday, when the report of the
Committee on Foreign Missions was
heard and the Rev. DR.. Egbert w.
Smith, of Greensboro, preached on for
eien missions. The report Of this com
mittee, which is only a partial one at
the spring meeting Of the Presbytcry,
showed very fine work done by the

ing raised more than 1000 for the

special attention to the Presbyterian
Evangelistic and Biblical Institute,
which is a meeting OF pastors, elders,
deacons, Sunday School teachers and
all workers VINO are interested IN the
study of the Bible. both women and
men. 1t seems that this is to be a kind
of Mortified for the Preshyterians of
North Carolina. The ministers Of the
Presbytery seem to be looking Onward
to this institute with great expectation
of a very helpful occasion. Many emi-
merit preachers and teachers will be
present.
On Wednesday n colored candidate for
the ministry preached r trial sermon
and having previously stood the neces-
sary examinations was licensed to
preach. He is to take charge of a small
congregation at North Wilkesboro.

Washington, d. c., April 19.-The Navy
buildings at the naval establishments at
Port Royal, S. c., at $949, 900, of which
a little more than half is the appraised
value of the dock. 1t was contemplated
to use the buildings which would be
vacated by the transfer of the naval
property to the new naval station at
Charleston, s. c., for training purposes.
objections were raised to this by some
OF the bureau chiefs and a board was
appointed to investigate. This board was
not unanimous in it's findings and the
report was forwarded to Rear Admiral
Taylor, who will succeed ADMIRAL Crown
lrshicld as Chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, who headed the former board
which reported upon the transfer Of the
naval station from Port Royal to Char
lesion. He finds no objection to retain
ing some of the shops in commission
at Port Royal until the Charleston sta
ton is far nough advanced to do some
of tho work, and he also approves OF
utilizing two buildings at Port ROYAL for
the receipt of recruits until the Charles
ton naval station is ready to do so. As
the board on torpedo coat bases has rec
commended the establishment of a base
st PORT Royal and the Bureau of Equip
n ent has a coaling station there, the
