intimate friends of the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt.
Mrs A,ger, whose husband has been
appointed to fill the unexpired term of
the late Senator Mcmillan of Michigan,
received an ovation upon her return to
Washington. The Algers have estab-
lshed themselves temporarily at the
Arlington. AS the senator is sure of
being elected his own successor, they
win later establish themselves in a
house OF their own, and will doubtless
resume the delightful hospitality which
made their home one of the most pop
ulaT in the official circle when they be-
logged to the Mckinley cabinet set
Both the Alger daughters are married,
but they have planned to make long
visits here and will aid their mother
in her social duties.
Sosmuch has been said about Mrs.
Depew, the bride of a year, that little
remains to be told. She has full
filled all expectations, and is a very
popular hostess. She Is always ex-
ceedingly well dressed and conspicu-
Gus In every company by reason of her
distinguished appearance. Having re-
sided many years in Paris, she speaks
French as fiuently as English, and is
therefore G. great favorite with the dip
lomats, who, one and all, can meet on
common ground in that language,
whatever their nationaAsy or however
atrociously they may murder the
Kings English.
The home of Senator Cockrell Of
Missouri is a particularly pleasant one

Although the regular public recep-
tons by the ladies Of the cabinet will
not be resumed until the first Wednes-
day in January, a number of the host
esses are lat home" on Wednesdays of
this month. Last Wednesday Mrs.
Hay, wife of the Secretary of State. re-
ceived for the first time in eighteen
months. Perhaps she was driven to II
from sheer loneliness In her now child
less home. The visitors were chiefly
the wives of senators and representa-
tives who have just returned to
Washington and hasten to renew old
acquaintance, or get in their first calls
as early in the season as possible. II
is said that the cabinet ladies found
themselves in a quandary the follow
ing morning, when their secretaries in
formed them that fully two-thirds Of
all the cards left bore simply the last
name OF the owners with Mrs. or Miss
prefxed with no address or day Of
receiving. 1t may be brand-new
fashion-but how in the world can the
ladies' whom they have honored by the
call, figure out which Mrs. Smith or
MISS Jones they are expected to visit
In return? Social registers and blue
books are OF little avail where several
families OF one name are found. This
Is probably more confusion In Wash
ington than any other city, owing to
the special significance of official calls.

personally met the hundreds who called

WILLIAM D0CKERY
is A CAPTIVE
identified at indianapolis as a Motto.
rious Pickpocket and Thief
of ST Paul.

INDIANAPOL Ind, Sept. 1e-
Frank Ford, who after a struggle was
arrested by detectives several days
ago, was today positively identified by
Capt. Gerber as William Dockery, alias
James Thompson, rnotorious pick
pocket and thief Of st. Paul, Mimi,
who on Aug. 4, with nine other pris-
oners, dynamited his way out of the
Nashville, Tenn, prison.
According to his story, which is cor
roborated by prison circulars, Dock
cry was sentenced to a term Of five
years in the st. Cloud, Mimi, reform
atory for robbery, escaped a few weeks
later, was arrested in South Dakota
five years, jumped from a train and
again escaped. From that time until
January, 1901, Dockery travelled in al
most every state of the Union, he says,
but the greater part Of the time he was
connected with gang of pickpockets
which had it's headquarters in st.
Paul.
In 1901 he blew. open the postoff1ce
safe in little town in Pennsylvania,
was captured and given sentence of
two years. He had only six months
to serve when he with nine other pris~-
oners dynamited their way out Of the
Tennessee prison. He will be held
pending the receipt of advices from
Sioux Falls. S. d. ST. Cloud, Mimi,

ROAST ONE ADDICKS
MOST BEAUTIFULLY
Delaware Democrats Nominate a Con.
gressionaI Candidate That Will
Probably Win.

, DOVER, Del, Sept. 16.-The Demo-
cratic state convention today nominate
ed the following ticket: Representa-
tive, In congress, Henry A. Houston;
treasurer, Joseph H. Hossinger; audi
tor, j. Thomas Lowe.
The contest hinged on the nominal
ton for congress, Houston defeating
ex-Congressman L. Irving Handy by
a majority of two votes. Because of
the split in the Republican ranks the
Democratic leaders claim to be able to
elect their congressional candidate next
November, and consequently there was
a scramble for the nomination.
The platform says Of J. Edward Ad-
dicks:
The question of overwhelming i'm
portance to the people of this state is
whether the state shall be wholly con-
trolled by it's criminal and ignorant
classes under the leadership of a COM
mercial adventurer, who, disgracing
and polluting our politics as far as
they can, only know enough of the ira
ditions of our state to revile them and
to attack the memories Of those hon.
orable and upright men under whose
guidance and advice our state MAIN
tanned her high position in the I'm
ion.
1--WE are In favor of a well establish
ed form Of republican government, and
will oppose unyieldingly this doctrine.
We look with anxiety and apprehen-
sion upon the present management OF
affairs in the Philippine islands. We
believe that these islands, now in our
undisputed possession, should be man
aged so as to give the inhabitants
speedy control Of their own local af~
fairs and an established form Of re-
publican government"

CUSHING TAKE ACTION
Petition the President Not to Ignore
Alleged Ill Treatment of the
Priest in Rome.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia petition
signed by nine American citizens has
been addressed to PRESIDENT Roose-
welt asking thattathe complaint OF
Rev. John H. Gushing, who was ar
rested Nov. 10 While calling on Bishop
N. C. Matz of DENVER in Rome, Italy,
be not ignored The petition says:
'"The arrest and confinement in an
insane asylum are notorious. A story
was invented that Father Gushing was
intoxicated at the time of his arrest,
but of the four persons present at the
interview between Bishop Matt and
Father Gushing, threeftestified that he
was sober. Two OF the three persons
were intimate friends and intimate
companions of Bishop Matz. Father
Gushing himself gave similar testimo-
ny. There were also Several in Rome
of various nationalfties who saw Fa-
Their Gushing daily, and were willing
to testify to his constant sobriety.
Even if intoxicated, were the brutal
indignities heaped upon him justlti-
able?"
1--WE saw Father Cushing within an
hour and half before his arrest We
insist that he went to the temporary
abode of Bishop MatZ sober and peace
ably, that he was peaceably received,
and while a guest therein that he was
violently assaulted and deprived of his
liberty. as we'll as subjected to brutal
outrages." - rs l,a'
