Guineas Fund. announced to-day that the
Methodists had secured the Royal Aquarium
Theatre property, facing Westminster Abbey,

Universal Methodsm." The price paid was

two and a half acres. and on it also stands Mrs
Langtry's Imperial Theatre

made by which the Imperial Theatre will re-
main where ii is though IL may be transformed
into an annex of the Church House. This build
ing will be started probably early in 1908.
Since it was opened in 1876. the Aquarium has
been a famous place of amusement for Lon
doners.

INFURIAT6D BEES
HSSHIL TWO MEN

Are Expected to Yield Up the
Ghost

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Aug. 27.-With
their bodies swollen out of all proper
ton, Leroy Mitchell and his son, of
Aliens hill, are lying at the point of
death as the result of stings by in
furiated honey bees. While Mitchell
and his son were reaping oats their
teams became unruly and dashed
among several dozen bee hives, over
turning them right and left.
The maddened occupants swarmed
forth, and thousands of the bees fairly
covered the men and horses, stinging
them countless times. One of the
horses got away but it's mate fell to
the ground and died in a few minutes.
The cries of the men brought assist
ance from the farm houses. With
burning straw the bees were driven off
and their victims rescued Physicians

to his scheme to convert a lot of the
preferred stock of the Steel Trust into
bonds You will remember that he
proposed to do this. and that a syndi-
cate of underwriters was to under
take the financing" of the project for
liberal commission.
The proposition was severely criti-
cised in the newspapers, and on the
street; 1t was resisted by some of the
heaviest holders of the securities of
the trust; many of the dissatisfied
threw large quantities jof stock upon
the market, which Mr.. Schwab was
compelled to support, and family the
vice chancellor of New Jersey inter
vened and prevented the consumation
of the deal. 1t was Schwabs s first
great failure, but he considered it a
throw down" and in his disappoint-
ment and humiliation bitterly re-
preached former friends whose sup
port he expected, but did not receive.
Those who are familiar with his
condition say that Schwab ordinarily
is not so sensitive as he has shown
hirlself to be in this case; that he
has the hide of a bull, and was nevoF
suSpe cted of having such a thing as
nervous system among his, assets,

from what is called fashionable vi

"a wide swath." and has not only got

of it far and near. At Monte Carlo
he made the oldest gamblers shiver u.

The newspapers of every European
city were filled with accounts of his
doings and sayings, and they sounded
familiar to those who have read the

TRAGIC Ending Of the Honeymoon
Tour Of a Young Couple in
Indiana

WABASH, Ind, Aug. 27.-Wm. c.
Bright, 20 years of age, and Miss Ora
Spinks, p years of age, were married
III this city last Sunday. Both are
from prominent families. The couple
left on wedding trip, and early this
morning word was received that the
bride was dead in hospital at Peru.
The husband has disappeared, and no
clew to his whereabouts can be OBJ
tanned.
A young man made frequent calls at
the hospital inquiring about the condi-
ton of the girl during her thirty
hours illness, but he disappeared when
her death was announced, and it is
supposed that he was her husband.
An autopsy revealed that the girl
was enciente three months ago, and it
is thought that Bright discovered her
and deserted her. after which
she went to the hospital, where the
killed her.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-William
E. Curtis in the Chicago Record Her
aid, writes from New York as follows
concerning the real reasons of
Sckwab's collapse:
Charles M. Schwab one of the won
ders of modern industry and finance,
who has gone to pieces, is Oft for B1-
rope for rest and repairs. There
has been a great deal about him and
his illness in the papers lately, and
considerable contradiction and con-
lecture, but the plain facts are that
he has been running under too great
a pressure for year or more and has
broken down. His complaint is de-
scribed in long wards by the doctors
and it is one that never troubles poor
men or men who live regular lives.
1t is called nervous prostration when
women get it. 1t is the result of
overwork and worry, and in discussing
the causes and consequences Mr..
Schwabs particular friends ascribe 1t
to the anxiety and modification he
has suffered because of the opposition

been postponed, but it could not have
been prevented had he been spared
the anxiety and disappointment he
suffered on this occasion. 1t was
bound to come sooner or later; he had
lived too fast and worked too hard,
and when the pressure was kept up
long enough it was sure to find the
place of weakest resistance in his
constitution, and something was
bound to bust"
Mr. Schwab is one of the most re-
markable men Of the generation, but
is not well balanced He has shown
extraordinary ability, both as a tech
nical expert and as an executive, as a
salesman, as an organizer and as a fl
nancier He has tremendous energy
and endurance, both physical and
mental; a "ten-thousand horse-pow-
er dynamo" as one of his subordinates
described him-tireless, irresistible,
comprehensive and far-sighted, an in
dustrial genius,so much so that one of

always on exhibition and full of sem
sational interest. OF course this os-
tentation was the subject of comment
among his friends and the public gen-
orally. Many attributed 1t to O de-
sire to crafty his own vanity; others
assumed that Charley Schwab" was
not contented with his eminence in
the industrial world, as the executive
head of the largest corporation that
was ever organized, and aspired to So
cial distinction. No doubt both the
ories were more or less true, but the
general impression was not favorable
There has been well-defined but cau-
tiously and anxiously spoken doubt
among the conservative element of
New York business men whether Mr.,
Schwab possessed the serious quail
ties that fit men to be intrusted with
great interests belonging to others.

VIEWS OF GREELEY
The Chief Signal Officer Of the
Army Has Just Returned and
Tells OF His Arrangements
For T6IegrdDhiG Sustain

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27.-In
the opinion of General Greeley, chief of
the signal corps of the army, Alaska
will be connected with the United
States by telegraph before the end OF
the year, and before the expiration of
two weeks communication will have
been established between the remote
inland towns of the Territory and the
coast cities. Speaking of the plans to
place. Alaska within talking distance
of the States, General Greeley, who
has just returned to Washington from
the Territory, said today:
THE telegraphic system, the compile
tion of which it was my object to
hasten, will be completed within the
coming year. This will for the first
time make it possible for intercommu-
nication to be had at a small expense
between those portions of the Terri
tory where previous correspondence
could only be had by mail, and where
letters and answers could not be ex-
more than twice or thrice dur
ing the year.
1T is anticipated that within the next
day or two Valdez, Alaska, will be in
telegraphic communication with the
outside world. This line runs from
Dawson through Egbert, as a military
wire, and is about forty miles long.
There is now in operation in this Ter
ritory. about 500 miles of wire in the
central and lower Yukon valley This
will be connected with the Valdez sys-
tenn, which will bring the lower Yukon
st. Michaels and Nome within daily
reach of the rest of the world"

THE SIXTH BHLLOT
Did the Work and Achieved a VIC
tOru for the Republican N6WS-
paper Bosses Who Fought
the Governor.

SACRAMENTO, Calf. Aug. 81
Amid the greatest confusion Dr.. Georg,
c. Pardee, of Alameda county, was
nominated for governor by the Repub
lican State convention, on the sixth
ballot, the third one of the day.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that the chairman could announce the
result of the vote. The delegates were
on their feet cheering. Above al
sounded the chairman's gavel vainly
rapping for order.
When the vote was finally announced
Hayes recommended that the nomina-
tion be made unanimous, which was
seconded by the Flint delegation and
adopted by the convention.
Pardee was called to the platform
and made brief speech.
Alden Anderson was then chosen the
nominee for lieutenant governor by
reclamation.
The defeat of Gage has caused in
tense Indignation among his followers,
and threats are openly made by many
of them that they will not support
Pardee. The Flint people are also
sore, and accuse Pardee of bad faith.
The defeat of Gage is regarded as a
great triumph for De Young, Spreckels
and Otis, the proprietors respectively
Of the San Francisco Chronicle and
Call and the Los Angeles Times, the
leading Republican papers of the
State, who fought the denomination of
Gage with much bitterness.
The nominee for governor, Pardee.
is not regarded as a strong man, but
he successfully played the role of dark
horse. He had only 1l9 votes on the
first ballot. He is more acceptable to
Gage, however, than Flint would have
been, who next to Gage had the largest
following in the convention.
The final ballot stood: Pardee SIS,
Flint 239 Hayes AZ. Edison IS, Gage 13.
Necessary to a choice. AS.
The preceding ballot, which was the
fifth, stood: Gage 1886 1-2, Pardee
143 1-2, Flint 280, Edison IA, Hayes SO.
When Shasta county was reached the
Gage people began to carry out an
agreement to vote for Pardee when it
was made clear that Gage could not
win. Governor Gage delivered almost
his entire vote
Following the nomination for lieu
tenant governor an adjournment was
taken to 2 p. m, when the chief justice
will be selected.
While the Gage people regard Pardee
as weaker man than Flint, they were
determined to defeat Flint because he
was personally obnoxious to Gage. The
Flint followers are now charging that
Pardee was put up by Gage in order to
be knocked down.

his great works in the trust was that
Mr. Schwab should have the manage
ment OF the new combination, for he
considered him the greatest industrial
master he had ever known. But with
all this talent and capacity Schwab
lacked some of the most important
essentials for successful man. He
does not possess the moral fibre. nor
the poise. nor the tact. nor the discre-
ton, nor the sense of propriety, nor
the philosophy of men who have per-
manentiy kept on top.
OF the humblest origin. without ed
ucation other than that acquired out
side of schools, or the polish that
comes from contact with men of cult
ure, Mr.. Schwab has more vigor than
refinement. He fills every room he
enters; "he likes to hear himself

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 27.-The
village gOssips are hard at it. Women
arc gambling at Canfeld's club. This
is without precedent in Saratoga's his
tory, and the wonder thereat is exceed
/ ingly great.
The strict conyentionality of the Sar-
atoga club was broken last evening
Then, for the first time, so old resi-
deuts say. the affable Garfield I,r-
mitted the white hands of society

Several whispered versions of this
latest incident in the merry Whirl Of
the season are told.
The one that finds most acceptance
on the hotel balconies points to a ST.
Louis traction magnate as the oracle
who tumbled down the barriers of Sara
toga club traditions and obtained per-
mission for the women of his dinner
party to try their hands at faro and at
roulette.

thing of national character enter

evening. During the service of coffee
the host pleasantly surprised his guests

yate gaming rooms which he had Sc

and a regular faro bank dealer with an
adequate bank roll.
The women entered into the sport

in a half hour on the roulette colors.
Another of the guests is reported a tidy
winner at faro.
One of the men bucked the bank at
5000 clip, and when he wagered 81, 800
on the turn of a card to break even
on the evening, the ladies in unison
calculated, ooh, dear me-"
Rumor says the play was behind
locked doors. However, the evening
was voted a huge success, which means
that dll smart private dinners at Can
fields hereafter must see a little pri-
vate gaming to be thoroughly I'D to
date.
This morning the society colony
views the affair complacently. The
tenor of the remarks heard is in effect
that what is good for the men in the
way of amusement is also good for the
women.
The affair has revived the story II
