SUlGRAvE MANOR
NOT YET PURCHASED
Home of Washington's Ancestors in the
Market, However.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-In regard to the re-
cent report that Sulgrave Manor, the
home of George Washington's ancestors,
had been bought for re-erection In the
United States. a local paper gives as
the facts in the case that the estate is
in the market and a firm of London
agents is In communication with gem
tleman whose name is we'll known as the
negotiator for the purchase and sale Of
such properties as historic sites. and
who not long ago secured an important
site for the London county council.
1t is. therefore, satisfactory to know
that the house has not yet been abso-
lutely disposed of. At the same time.
as 1t is offered for sale. the danger Of
its removal 10 still in extent present

AFTER NINE YEARS.
Where and How Mother and Son Found
Each Other.

A mother and son who had been sep
| arated for nine years were brought to-
gether at Maricopa on Tuesday night
In curious manner. Among the pas
sengers who arrived there on the west
bound train were two women, one OF
whom was coming to Phoenix on her
way to the northern part of the terri
tory. Leaving the train both women
went to the Edwards House and ordered
| supper and arranged to stay there until
the train left for Phoenix in the morn
| Ing. While their supper was being serv-
ed group Of half dozen men gathered
on the porch in front Of the dining room.
Among them was tramp who had been
hanging around the station for short
time. He was sitting on bench taking
no part in the conversation.
In the meantime the women at sup
per were busy talking. After awhile
the tramp said, more to himself than
to those who sat near him. That
sounds like my mothers voice."
Jack Harris, the manager of the ho-
tel, asked him If his mother were living
He replied that he did not know; he had
not heard from her for nine years. He
listened little longer to the speaking
woman and repeated: THAT sounds ex-
actly like my mothers voice. There
vas something about his manner OF
saying it that impressed Mr.. Harris and
he went into the dining room and asked
the woman who was talking If she had
any children. She replied that she had
a daughter. "Haye you no SOM" asked
Mr. Harris. YES" she replied. II may
have; l had one, but don't know where
he is. He is twenty-fiv years old II he
Is living, heard from him in Colorado
nine or ten years ago, and l suppose
he Is there yet.
mo, he isn't" said Mr.. Harris. Hes
sitting on bench out there" pointing
toward the door. The woman looked at
the manager in amazement and then fol-
lowed him to the dor. The recognition
of the tramp and the woman was mu-
tual and immediate. There was no over
whelming demonstration. They were
mother and son. The woman took the
young man into the dining room and or
dered supper for him, the first square
meal he had had, perhaps. for days. He
was given decent lodging at the hotel
that night. and yesterday morning his
mother brought him to Phoenix with her.
Now that she has found him she Is go
ing to keep him with her wherever she
goes. They left this morning for Je-
Republican.

PUBLIC TURNS TO GOV. STONE
FOR RELIEF FROM THE STRIKE

of the Central Labor Union, which had
arranged the meeting, mounted the plat
form and announced that 1t would have
TO be postponed.
President Samuel Gompers, First Vice
President James Duncan, and Secretary
Frank Morrison, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. were to have addressed
the gathering, but when they we're about
to leave headquarters at Typographical
Temple a telephone message was re-
ceived, stating that the meeting was
postponed because of the rain. Pres!-
dent John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers Union, who was in the con-
ference with President Roosevelt on
Thursday, was unavoidably called from
the city shortly after noon yesterday.
1t is probable the meeting will be held
on the evening of Monday, October l3.
when 1t is expected President Mitchell
will be able to attend and make an ad-
dress.

TO DISESTABLISH THE
CHURCH OF ENGLAND
Liberation Society's Campaign Will Be-
gin by Attacking the Edu-
cation Bill.

LONDON, Oct 4.-The Liberation
Society. which claims by its work tc
have effected the discontinuance Of par
liamentary grants for religious purposes
in the United Kingdom, the abolition oi
church rates. the admission Of Jews tc
parliament. the abolition of ecclesiasti-
cal test universities, and the disestablsh-
ment of the Episcopal Church in Ireland
is now girding the loins for another cam
paign. which will aim at the disestab-
lishmert and disendowment Of the
Church Of England.
The forces that are to be marshaled to
accomplish this by the Liberation Society
are all the free churches now organized
into one force in the form Of the National
Free Church Council. united and
rishteous-minded liberal party" together
with campaign fund to which. in the
words Of the secretary of the society,
"the citizens Of the United States, keen
in their devotion to the august principle
of religious equality, may make contri-
buttons"
The society is contemplating the send
ing IF lecturer to the United States who
will collect funds. Before Christmas a
great conference Is to be held In London
to initiate vigorous campaign the first
step of which is to oust the present Brit
ish government from office by defeating
the education bill. which again, to quote
the secretary. would practically hand
over all education to ecclesiastics with
their faces turned toward Rome"

TO ASCEND MOUNT EVEREST.
First Attempt to Climb Earth's Loft
lest Peak.

| number OF the distinguished noun
taineers of Europe sailed early in March
last for India. Their purpose is to at
! tempt the ascent of Mount Everest, OF
Saurisankar, which is probably the
highest mountain in the world. Mount
Everest has had this distinction for
nearly a half century, and yet its as
cent has never even been attempted.
This giant of the Himalayas stands
nearly on the border between Nepal and
Tibet. and white men have long beer
unwelcome visitors In both CT these
countries. In fact, until quite recently
! they have been rigidly excluded from
Nepal; and. though they have wander.
ed around Tibet at some risk OF their
! lives, they have not been permitted to
visit some parts of the country.
There are two reasons why Mount Ev-
crest. In the heart of the Himalayas, is
very little known. One is that nature
makes 1t very difficult to get close to
these great snow capped mountains; the
other reason Is the hostility Of the peo-
pie above mentioned
These are sufficient reasons why no
attempt has yet been made to reach the
summit Of Everest and look out from
this apex Of the world over the mighty
mountain panorama, Dut conditions nave
now considerably improved so far as
the attitude Of the people of Nepal to-
ward strangers is concerned, and it Is
hoped that the present party will sue
coed in their formidable undertaking.
The party includes the Englishmen.
Crowley. Knowles, and Eckenstein. who
participated In the mountain climbing
and glacier explorations of Sir William
Conway In the Karakoram section Of the
Himalayas; the Austrian alpinists. Dr.
Pfannel and DR.. Wesley. and the Swiss
DR.. Jacot.
Swiss guides we're sent on in advance
the explorers expecting to meet them at
Askole in Cashmere at the end Of May
and begin their journey to Mount Ever
est 1t is part Of their plan also to as
cend Mount Goodwin Austin, 2s.273 feet
high, in the Karakoram.
It will not surprise the explorers OF
anyone else II their first attempts meet
with failure. The dimculties are enor-
mous.
The starting point is long way from
Mount Everest, and the journey must be
made among the most formidable snow
mountains in the world. The popula-
tion Is very sparse and all supplies must
be carried

The question Of according military
honcrs to the deceased is still unde-

General Percin has sent reply to the
letter he received from Count Boni de
Castellane in regard to the story tha.
the general shook hands with ex-Cap-
tain .Dreyfus at Zola's house. The gen.
eral says: '..Kou alone took seriously
the statement that shook hands with

house."

which he tenders his congratulations to

GOING TO THE BOW vows.
A Manufacturing Town in Connecticut
Sees Its Finish.

The depopulation of New Hartford,
Conn, which is destined to go to the
dogs as the result Of an order issued by
the Cotton Duck Corporation to shut
down its Greenwoods mills there on
September /, for an indefinite period, has
begun in earnest, no less than 700 people
having left the town inside of two weeks.
BY the middle of next month 1t is es-
timated that fully one-half Of the popu-
lation of the place. which is $500, will
have made their exodus. Placards read
ing CLOSING out business" and ito rent
are already in store windows and for
sale" signs are tackled on property
everywhere.
In district known as Dublin, where
several hundred of the mill operatives
lived, there remains but single family.
Business men already feel the effect
and are planning to locate elsewhere.
Truckmen, however. are doing a thriv-
ing business hauling household goods TO
the railroad stations day and night.
The Greenwoods plant is to be re-
moved to Tallasie, Ala, where, accord
ing to an alleged statement of the
Mount Vernon Woodberry Cotton Duck
Company. manufacturing can be done
more cheaply. The business was estab-
iished in New Hartford in 1888.

ANTI-ADDlCKS MEN
HOLD THEIR PRIMARIES
Enthusiasm Manifested in Political
Gatherings in Sussex County
To Fight to Finish.

LAUREL, Del. Oct. 4.-The anti-Ad-
dicks Republican primaries held through
out Sussex county today were enthusi-
astic and largely attended. Delegates
were elected in every district pledged
to do everything possible to defeat Ad-
dicks. Independent Legislature candi-
dates were nominated. The fight be-
tween the two factions of the Repub-
licans becomes more bitter daily. and
what chance the gas magnate ever had
of occupying a seat In the Senate was
today knocked into smithereens.
The leaders say fight to the finish,
and as neither faction will give way,
two Democratic Senator's and Repre-
sentative are sure to be elected.

COAL EXPORTS FROM
WALES WILL CONTINUE

LONDON, Oct. A dispatch from
Swansea, Wales, says Mr.. Couch, the
manager of the Atlantic Transport Com
pany there, has received cablegram
from the company's agent at Washing
ton to the effect that settlement of the
coal strike is probable. Another tele-
gram from Swansea says that from in
quiries at headquarters it seems likely
that shipments of coal from that port
to the United States will continue for
some time. notwithstanding any possi-
bic settlement of the dispute between
the American mine operators and the
Miners Union, and that the coal already
purchased will be shipped in large guam
titles until November. Owing to the ex-
ports of coal the trade of the port of
Swansea this week exceeded all previous
records.

SHORTAGE OF COAL
GROWS MORE PERPLExINC
Bad Weather and Arrival of G. A. r
Visitors Give Washingtonians
Much Concern.

The unexampled shortage of the Goa
supply became more perplexing with the
visitation of bad weather yesterday af.
ternoon, when the thousands of guests
are being ushered into the city.
Furthermore, the local dealers gave
out the information that the small sup
ply of coal being mined had not reached
the retail dealers as rapidly as II
should on account OF the lack of trans
portation facilities.
TT is not stagnation." said a coal
dealer last night, lit is paralysis. The
rising tendency in the market does not
indicate activity, but suspension OF the
ordinary functions of trade, under
crushing impositions. The dealers feel
as do the consumers, that the last hope
of peaceable adjustment has failed"
The majority of the dealers yesterday
secured one or two cars OF soft coal, and
many of them received coke. No hard
coal came in. Prices remain about the
same, but there is a certainty of their
going higher.
The effect of the coal shortage on the
G. A. R. celebration is causing some
concern. The steamboat companies are
practically out of coal and the boats
have been engaged for service next
week. There is not sufficient supply
on hand to enable them to run on all
the scheduled trips
The price of wood is advancing. Pine
is now selling at $3.50 a cord, and is
scarce at that figure.
One peculiar fact is that orders are
not being received by the coal dealers
as rapidly as might be expected. The
number of orders has vastly decreased
in the past week

GENERAL MEETING OF
NAIL MANUFACTURERS

P1TTSBURG, Pa, Oct 4--Notices are
being sent out to members of the Nail
Manufacturers Association for a gen.
eral meeting here October 7. The pur-
pose of the meeting 1t is said, is to
will prevent the price-cutting which. it
is alleged. has existed for several
months. The dullness in the wire nail
and wire rod products is said to have
impaired the effectiveness of the manu-
facturers' organization and at the COM
ing meeting the prices and conditions Of

"suN DO MOVE JASPER"
Regarded by Congregation as Model fo,
Successor.


Successor.
A certain thing is exemplified out at
the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. SC
long under the ministry of the Rev.
John Jasper, probably for the first time
in the history OF Christendom.
1t is that so far from the congrega-
tion's heaving sigh of relief at the ad-
vent OF the new pastor, the body actu.
ally demands tnat their pastor shall be
as much like the Rev. John as possible.
John Jasper was the best known negro
minister in America all because he had
an opinion concerning the designations
of the sun. For a quarter of a century
or more he was the spiritual shepherd
of the Sixth Mount Zion flock. When he
died curiosity was active concerning
what sort OF man would be chosen to
succeed him. 1t was thought by many
that the chief demand made OF him
would not be the nature of certain views
in his creed, but what WAS the nature O,
his views regarding the sun.
The congregation at last selected Rev.
Randolph Psyton, of Washington, who Is
graduate OF Howard University, the
illogical school of Washington. The Rev.
Peyton does not believe that the sun
moves. But he does not tell his people
that-leastwise, not the older ones. He
tells the young people privately that the
Rev. John was wrong. but he knows 1t
would be no use to tell the older disci-
pies OF the darkey who sturdily defled
the nebular hypothesis and put at
naught the solar system.
But members Of the Sixth Mount Zion
like their new pastor exceedingly. They
say he has the gestures and voice and
style of the Rev. John to perfection.
In darkened church they would al
most think It was Jasper come back
again And the Rev. Peyton is wise.
He knows that the old man whom he
rucceeded was next to the Lord he wor-
shiped In the minds of the simple
