Not until George Hull, the maker
OF the cardiff giant, was buried at
Binghamton, n. Y, recently, did the
facts about that famous hoaM become
known. All the stories that have been
printed about it are declared inaccur-
ate by Hull. a remarkable feature of
the case is that. while Hull made the
alleged giant. he gave all the credit

his partner. David Hannum of Ho-
mer, n. Y, who vas the original of
David Harun1,' in Mr.. Westcott 5
novel
Hull was cigar manufacturer in
Binghampton. The idea Of the Cardiff
giant came to him in 1861 while he
was in Wisconsin, and got into a con
troyersy with clergyman over the
truthfulness of the story of Goliath
and David. He secured large piece
of gypsum from quarry at Fort
Dodge. Ia, and had it sent to
Chicago. where is was chistled into
the form of man. The application
of acid gave it the appearance OF
age. The giant was then boxed up
and shipped to Union. nine miles west
OF Binghamton. From there it was
drawn by four-horse team at night
to Cardiff near Syracuse, where it was
buried on the farm of cousin OF Hui,
named Newell There it was left 70:
a year, the field being sown to grain
the next spring.
in October, 1868, Newell en%a sed
some vorkmen to dig well at a
place which he selected. When they
had gone several feet they unearthed
q remarkable image, which soon at

tracted much attention, and which
scientists declared was undoubtedly
tie petrified body of prehistoric
giant. In a short time the wonderful
giant was started on tour of the
country, when it was viewed by
thousands Of people who paid so cents
apiece. Hull did not appear in the
management of the show. That was
managed by David Hannum This was
an escapade from which Hannum de-
rived much satisfaction. Both he
and Hull always referred with pride
to the manner in which they fooled
the people,
At one time Hannum was on a
Lackawanna train going from Syra,
cuse TO Courtland. In his character
istic way, he was occupying nearly all
of the car seat, when young man
came in and ordered the old man to
move along. Mr.. Hannum did not
like the manner in which the younger
man spoke to him, and refused to
move.

is Sloan. and my father is president

Hui and HannGm cleared about 500
090 each out of the piece of gypsum
before the hoax was discovered.
Iull continued in the cigar business

ter he exploited the giant. About
fifteen years ago he retired.

Ex-President Grove .Clevela"i
writes as follows to the New York
World. and it hits the nail square!y
on the head just as he always does
it in everything he says or writes on
politics.
1T seems to me that the Democratic
situation is such as to awaken the
satisfaction and hope of every
thorough and consistent Democrat.
Our party has certainly regained its
old-time fighting condition and re-
covers the morale that promises old
time success and prestige.
q think however, while we can
safely assume that we are not i'm
mediately threatened with repeti-
ton of undemocratic heresy there are
palpable dangers to be avoided if the
rejuvenation of democracy is not to
be obstructedl. The movement toward
this rejuvenation tends to a complete
abandonment of our late yielding tC
the temptations of eXpediency as
against firm adherence to democratic
doctrines.
People Trust Through Democracy.
"The condition necessitates, in my
opinion, both in the enunciatiOn of
platform principles and the selection
of candidates, a sturdy and determined
march to the goal of substantial and
thorough democracy. In other words,
I believe if the democratic party is
tempted under a mistaken apprehen-
son of the meaning of the revival
of true Democratic sentiment to stop
presenting to the people platform
principles and candidates not entire
ly in keping with an absolutely chang
ed policy + will fail TO convince the
necrle of it's sincerity or to satisfy
them II at it can safely be trusted.

c:ats, now hopeful and expectant,

arrogance Of the republican party.
ut may as we'll be fully understood
that any lt,lty promising such relief

FATE WAS ON HIS TRAIL
A Vienna Banker, Long Sought For
by the Police, Found in an
Almshouse.

New York, Sept 29.-Ending his days
as an inmate Of the almshouse on Black
wells Island there has been identified in
Adolph Boedesch, says the Times, a one
time banker of Vienna whom the Austrian
police have been hunting for years. In
Vienna BOedesch is said to have been
known as Adolph Bethlehem, banker, and
he is alleged to have disappeared with up
ward of $780,
The Identification was made by city
detective, but it is not likely that Boed-
esch will be deported for his alleged crime
The man is now over 60 years old and is
absolutely penniless. There would be lit
tie to induce the Austrian authorities to
request his extradition. It was in 1894
that Bethlehem disappeared from Vienna.
A few days after he had been reported
missing his hat and various parts Of
clothing which had belonged to him were
discovered beside the Danube on the out
skirts of the city. A body found a few
days afterward in the river was identified
by Mrs. Bethlehem as that Of her hus-
band A week or so later Mrs. Bethel
helm herself disappeared. Now both hus-
band and wife are in the almhouse to-
gether.
In the four years in which the Bettel-
helms have been in this city their career
has been checkered. For a while they
prospered as banker and broker in
lower Broadway but the shadow of the
cloud under which, they had fled from the
Austrian capital seems to have always
been over them, and after getting into
trouble with the local police Boedesch lost
money rapidly until last January when he
stricken with paralysis and had to go
to a hospital and his wife went to the
almshouse. When Boedesch left the hos
pital he followed his wife there.

c. Alexander, the demonstration of anato-
my in the Central College Of Physicians
and Surgeons, In which two stolen bodies
were found about ten days ago; Dr. Will
son, an inferno in the college, and George
Haymaker, the white janitor of the col
lege.
Rufus Cantrell, one Of the negroes, made
a complete confession and implicated the
others. He said DR.. Alexander accompa-
MED the negroes on several Of the grave
rObb1ng expeditions
The police say the operations were on
a larger scale than any gang ever carried
on before in the state Upwards Of 100
graves, it is said, have been robbed by
the ghouls during the last three months
The detectives say the negroes were
armed with shotgns and equipped with
horses and wagons with which to do the
work. The bodies were sold to different
colleges which opened their winter terms
within the last week.
The revelations are not only astound-
ing but horrifytng. They say that a COM
plete investigation will probably show that
even the graves in Crown Hill were des-
ecrated by the ghouls. Cantrell said that
he and the other negroes visited Mount
jackson cemetery almost every time any
one was buried in the place.
I'VE pretty near cleaned that place out"
he said. II don't believe that we have
missed anybody. that has been planted
there since July
Cantrel said there were some graves
that were not disturbed because the flow
ers and other articles on top were ar
ranged in such manner that the gang
did not feel confident Of restoring them
| to their former appearance.
When the negroes were brought into
| court all weakened and confessed that
they were members of an organized gang
of ghouls. Mount jackson, a cemetery
just across the river, west Of the city, has
been practically emptied by the grave rob-
bers. $500
Rufus was the password at the med
ical college and when it was uttered by
the returning ghouls, the doors of the col
lege would always be opened without
questioning. The statement that Crown
Hill, one Of the best guarded cemeteries
| in the United States, has been invaded by
the grave robbers has caused indignation.
One Of the ghouls said it usually took
about twenty-five minutes to rob a grave
The law in Indiana is very strict and
provides for effective punishment Of
ghouls by long Imprisonment.
The negroes under arrest are: Walter
| Daniels, Sol. Brady, Sam Martin, Garfield
Buckner, William Jones, Rufus Cantrell
and Isaac Donnell. All live in Indian
| apolis. s'&-.s ".---.... ~ ..s..~ 81

NO SECESSION
The Australian Commonwealth Not
Prenared to Go to Pieces Easily.

London, Sept. 29.-Although ominous
reports have for some time past been re-
ceived from Queensland, and Premier
Robert Philip now openly advocating the
secession of that state from the federal
union, the constitution cannot be unmade
with the ease that the premier of Queens
land imagines. The commonwealth con-
stitution act does not make provision for
secession and apparently no means Of
obtaining separation short Of an act Of re-
peal or civil war. Premier Philip seems
to anticipate that he will receive the
support Of the people Of New South Wales
and West Australia, who also are dis
satisfied with present conditions, but the
extreme measure is not likely to be taken
STILL this unrest is having very pre-
judicial effect on the business in the
commonwealth and nearly every Austria
liam government loan has suffered in value
during the last fortnight The trouble
arose out Of the fact that Queensland has
been hard hit by federal legislation on the
colored labor question which practically
will annihilate the sugar industry in
which hundreds of thousands of pounds
of British capital has been invested.

He told me to go with Cohen around to

Wirtensohn.
The answer was unexpected and highly
damaging. It aroused Mr.. Welch at once
and he made vigorous efforts to break
down this testimony. Question and an
swer fell thick and fast but, although
Wirtensohn became slightly ratified, ne
stuck to his story.
