in the office on the eighth floor opposite

watched her gaze gloomily into the

But one Saturday morning, coming

Her face was turned from the watch

knew by his gestures that he was in a
rage. He was waving his arms, his
face was purple, and he seemed to be

big burly salvationist, beating q

reality, for ! saw enter the Protestant

No actress ever got a warmer wei !
come than that given to Mrs. Booth
and her secretary, Captain Jennie|
Hughes. After the clapping of hands
and cheering had ceased, Mrs. Booth
arose and made a speech, which was|
listened to in deep silence. Certainly
she was eloquent, and what she said
impressed many an old gun. She was
the first visitor that ever promised
practical Christianity who actually
carried out the promise. She spoke|
for an hour, and afterwards granted
private interviews, and many of the|
convicts told her all their troublesl
and she promised to take care of theil|
old mothers, daughters and wives.
/ often wondered what the motives
are that moved the men in that mani

Booth was a magnetic woman. Shd

predicament-her sex. Who could en- !

woman with large black eyes?-Les1

HOSPITAL BENEFIT.
Daughters Of Veterans Raise
Sum OF Money by Lecture
TUESDAY,.
Massillon, November 26.

Massillon, November 26.
A lecture was given in Burd's hall
tuesday by Rev. J.. H. Stewart, pas
tor Of The First NJ. E. church on
What a Boy Saw in Andersonville. "
The lecture was under the auspices OF
the Daughters of Veterans and the
proceeds will be given to the city hos
pital fund. This was the first organ
ization that has arranged and given
an entertainment for the proposed hos
pital. Many other organizations are
planning functions of the same Or
der.
An audience of nearly three hund-
red people heard the lecture of Rev.
Stewart last night and the proceeds
amounted TO about SEQ. The money
will be held by the treasurer of the
lodge until there is a permanent hos.
pital organization.
Rev. Stewart was a veteran OF the
civil war and was confined within the
stockade Of Andersonville about six
teen months. He was only sixteen

FEAR
NEW STATES
Republican Senators Do Not Want TO
Admit New Mexico and
Arizona.
MIGHT BENEFIT DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Friends of
the omnibus statehood bill are await
ing with keen anxiety the return of
Senator Beveridge and his sub-com-
mitee of the senate committee on ter
ritories. The rumors are that the sem
ator is opposed to the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona, but favors
Oklahoma's admission. If this is true.
1t is inferred that Senator Beveridge
intends to base his opposition to the
far western territories upon the Aimsy
ground that he personally visited them
and found that they were not fitted for
statehood.
The senators who favor the omni-
bus bill will not be seriously affected
by the senator's judgment on the mat
ter. They will claim that brief visit
to Arizona or New Mexico could not
possibly afford sufficient information
to base such an opinion on. The SEN
ator visited the Philippines for a few
weeks and returned to the United
the senate never seriously considered
him as such. The advocates for state
hood for the three territories are not
going to be discharged by any opposi-
tion that Beveridge may lead, but on
the contrary are preparing to meet itin
the most effective way.
The real opposition to the bill grows
out of the fact that some of the Re.
publican leaders are actuated by party
considerations. They fear that the ad-
mission of the territories will mean
eventually six Democratic senators,
notwithstanding the fact that both
Oklahoma and New Mexico went Re-
publican at the recent election. It is
heard here that many Democrats of
both of these territories have been
voting the Republican ticket ever since
1896, in order to convince the Repub-
lican administration that statehood
would mean more Republican electoral
votes and more Republican senators
and representatives. 1t is predicted
that as soon as an enabling act is
passed all these territories will land
fat in the Democratic column and re-
main there.
There is no doubt that the omnibus
bill is being seriously embarrassed by
such reports, for it has never been q
fad with party government to create
states which might give additional
strength to the opposition. AS a rule,
all the states which have been admit
ted since the civil war have swatted
the party which admitted them. Even
Utah, which came in during the Cleve-
land administration, has landed in the
Republican party. So it is the enemies
OF Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari-
zona are predicting that if the terri
tor'rs are admitted, they will come to
the front in 1904 with six Democratic
United States senator's. four Demo-
cratic representatives and ten Demo-
cratic electoral votes.
