The tar country is the place where
the younger son spent bis all. We can
readily picture this young man when
he first left home. He had plenty OF
money. The tavern keepers bowed and
smiled at his approach. They regretted
when his party left. The gay young
folks of the region to which he went
felt proud to be seen in public by his
side. His bachelor apartments were
furnished in the most expensive style.
The banks would honor any drafts he
made upon them. He was hale fellow
well met. He was as much intoxicated
with tlatteFy as with wine. The gold
which he held in his opened hand was
Just as yellow and hard as if he was
living off his interest instead of the
principal. His health was robust and
strong. He had not yet undermined his
physical constitution by excuses. But
now the rosy cheek pales. The steady
nerve trembles. The mortgage is placed

The Santa Claus letters via

him should do so at once for the

be closed Saturday, Dec. 6,
1902. Last year some twelve
or fifteen of our little friends
sent us their letters too late
for us to get them to their des.
tination. A good many of the
country school children sent
their letters in bunch last
year and sent them early
enough to go through with the
first lot and we hope it will be
that way this year. Remember
| our little friends, the surest
way to get what you want
Christmas is to let Old Santa

what you want.
All letters must be written

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report of trade last week
says:
With the settlement Of the great coal
strike Of 1909, the most remarkable IN
many respects Of modern record, prae-
tically the only unavoidable favorable
feature in the general trade aud in
dustry disappears. Coincident with
this, also, has been the ending OF sew
eral minor troubles Of similar nature.
While relief To the public mind Is,
perhaps, the most immediate result, IL
is natural to expect that the present
abnormal prices and conditions in fuel
supplies will gradually disappear. All
other trade developments Are largely
favorable. Retail trade has generally
improved, stimulated at the west. north
west and south by cooler weather, fall
festivals and carniyals. Jobbing de-
mand is also benefited, particAlly at
the west. Shoe, hat and cap, clothing
hardware and lumber dealers have all
done well.

lie Killed Two Men.

New FORK, oot 90.-Using a new
automatic magazine pistol. William
G. Turner, former president and treas
urer of the Climax BOttling company,
shot and killed w. ]. Mallard, score
tary and treasurer of the company, and
Robert Hamilton, its president, and
pom. A second revolver, loaded in
every chamber, was found in Turner's
pocket and it is believed he intended to
take more lives than he did.
The shooting was caused by a
quarrel between the three men over an
alleged shortage in Turner's accounts
for which he was threatened with
criminal prosecution. The tragedy
occurred in the offices of the law firm
of Cantor, Adams & Mcintyre, in the
heart of wall street district during the
busy noon hour. Turner. who was 45
years of age and lived at Mt. Vernon,
N. Y. suberb of this city, was a
cousin of Governor Odell or this state.
The head Of the law firm in whose
offices the shooting occurred is Presi-
dent Cantor of the borough of Man
haitian.
Soon after the shots rang out in the
office building wild rumor was start
ed that the borough president had been
killed, All the principals in the
tragedy We're married.
Two men. however, remained to take
their chances of leap, and. Ginning
up on the window ledge, they sprang
out in the air. One of them came
straight down the greater part of the
way, but just as he was within a short
distance of the pavement his body
swung around and he struck the stone
walk at full length. The other man
turned over and over as he came
whirling down. Their bodies were
horribly mangled, and it was impOss-
ible for any of the men who saw them
directly after their jump to identify
them in any way.

Prieste-s Preferred Death.

New York, Oct. ga In fear Of
another term in prison, or spending the
balance Of her days in the insane
asylum, Miss Ida Craddock, high prizes
tess and pastor of the Church of the
YOga" in Chicago, and missionary
here Of her peculiar belief, committed
suicide by inhaling gas. Her body was
found by her mother, Mrs. Decker, by
whom the suicide was to have been
accompanied to the United States court
10 be sentenced under conviction for
sending obscene matter through the
mails. Fear Of sentence and also that
her mother was planning to send her
to the insane asylum, led to the suicide.
She left a most affectionate letter to
her mother, in which she said:
Il will not consent to go to the asy-
lum, as you are evidently planning to
have me go.'
Miss CraddOck served three months
on Blackwells island for circulating
an Objectionable book, upon her release
was prosecuted by the federal authroi-
ties for sending books through the
mails. Before comming here she was
convicted in Chicago and prosecuted in
Philadelphia and Washington for cir
culating her books, which are are
alleged by the authorities to be in
decent. Miss Craddock came originally
from Denver and first drew public at
tention by her defense Of the Dance
du Ventre" at the worlds fair, which
she maintained was a solemn religious
performance. She was a woman Of
culture.

ADMIRAL sELFRlDeE IS DEAD
He Was the Oldest Living officer OF
That Rank In Any Navy.

That Rank In Any Navy
Boston--Rear Admiral Thomas O..
Selfridge, ST., U. S. N, retired died at
the Mclean asylum at Waverly recent
ly.
He was probably the Oldest living
officer of rank in any navy Of the world
and there is no other navy which had
two admirals, father and son both re-
tired. The elder admiral was born III
Massachusetts and was appointed to the
navy from that state ON January /,
1918. The son, Rear Admiral Thomas
o. Selfridge was born February 10,
1886, and joined the navy at the age oil
10.
The second eldest son is Commander
James Russell Selfridge, born July IL
1919, and in the navy since 1864.
During tho senior Selfridge's earlier
days no made some voyages in mer-
chant vessels, as the navy was consid-
eredably reduced mi ships for many
years after the war Of 1879, and there
was but scant employment for the OFF,
GERS. He took an active part IN the
Mexico war and was severely wounded.
When the civil war broke out Com
mander Selfridge was too far advanced
in years to accept active duty at sea and
he was assigned AS commandant Of the
Mare island navy yard, lS62-64, and
again in 1878. In the latter year AL
retired officers were withdrawn from
active service and Admiral Selfridgt
resided at Georgetown, ). c., but fol
many years he paid annual visits Il
San Francisco, where he had two SOM
residing.
