of the Enterprise tired-out women whc
can heartily sympathize with the one
whose epitaph is given below
Here lies a poor woman
Who always was tired,
Who lived in a house
Where help was not hired.
Her last words on earth were:
Dear friends | am going
Where washing amt done.
Nor sweeping. nor sewing;
But everything there is
Exact to my wishes,
For where they don't eat
There's no washing the dishes.
I'll be where loud anthems
Will always be ringing;
But, having no voice,
III get clear of the singing.
Don't mourn for me now,
Don't mourn for me ever;
I'm going to do nothing
For ever and ever"

WILSON S. BIssELL DIES.
The Postmsster General succumbs to .
Complication Thought to Be Akin to
Bright's Disease.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 7.-Wilson s.
Bissell, former postmaster general UNI
der President Cleveland, died at 1878
o'clock last night. At about noon he
sank into deep sleep and It was with
difficulty that he was aroused at IN
tervals during the afternoon for
nourishment and medicine. The end
came easily and peacefully. Mr.. Bis
sell suffered from complications
thought to be akin to Bright's disease,
although not well understood. On
June / his trouble became so serious
that he was sent to New York to con-
suit specialists. 1t was thought an
operation would be performed, but aft
er an examination the specialists de-
cided that It would be better for the
patient first to rebuild his health. He
was sent to his summer home, Bar
Harbor, where he spent several weeks.
He spent most Of the time there In
bed and 1t was realized that his case
was hopeless. In September he re-
turned to Buffalo. Some important
legal matters In which he was interest
ed were disposed Of and Mr. Blssell
was again forced to bed. He suffered
no pain, sleeping most Of the time.
when awake his mind was always clear
and he conversed with members Of the
family and the physicians.

1t Glasgow.

Glasgow, Oct. Whatever may be
khe opinion held regarding the great
question which Mr.. Chamberlain has
raised or the probable issue of his
campaign, 1t Is generally admitted that
he has opened It in q mastery manner,
behtting the momentous occasion and
that he can no longer be accused Of
nobulosity IN presenting his case. For
nearly two hours, only referring occa-
eionally to fairly full notes for figures
and statistics, he held q vast and en-
thusIastic audience absorbed by one
Of his finest oratorical efforts.
Mr.. Chamberlain ives greeted at the
close with q great demonstration. The
points Of his speech attracting remak-
able attention were HIS eulogy Of Mr.
Balfour and his reputation Of the idea
Of superseding him; his representa-.
fion Of the coming struggle as one
greater In its consequences than the
Boer war; his declaration that all
worlEingmen in the colonies were pro-
tectionists and that any labor leader
visiting the colonies would inevitably

ncription Of the American tariff as an

AN ACCOUNTING WANTED.
Representatives of Mrs. Florence Maybrlck
Bring Action Against the Trustees
Of Her Estate.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE action re-
Gently begun by representatives OF
Mrs. Florence Elizabeth Maybrick,
who will be released from prison in
England In July Of next year, to COM
pei an accounting Of certain members
Of the board Of trustees Of Mrs. May
bricks ancestors, was continued yes
terday when Samuel B. Hayden, Of
Washington, examined William L.
Gardner, of Brooklyn, one of the trus-
tees, regarding funds said to be due the
estate land Mrs. Maybrick) on the
sales of land in Virginia, Illinois and
Kentucky. What appeared to be q
shortage Of about $4,000 in the trus-
tees accounts was disclosed at this
hearing. Mr.. Gardner was asked
specifically as to his knowledge of the
signing of deeds releasing the Baroness
de Roques and her daughter, Mrs. May
brick, from title to property in Amer
lea. One item of 40 acres Of land, 1t is
alleged, was sold for $4,000, and of
this sum only $4,000 was admitted as
received by the trustees. Mr.. Gardner
said that he did not take particular
attention Of the value Of the property,
adding that, so far as he knew, only
$500 accrued from this sale. Ac-
counting of this last mentioned sum
was made in 1898, but since that time
the trustees have made no further &C
counting. The hearing will be contin-
ued on October 20.
When asked about the shortage Of
$4,000 Mr.. Hayden would say nothing
definite. 1--WE would like to know what
became Of this money" he said.

we call ourselves no longer the
Gopher but the 'bread-and-butter
state of the union"
