HAD LOTS OF MONEY: SPENT IT.
Mysteriou. Stranger Who Throw Cash
Awav Disappears,

Hous ton, Tex, New. 2S.-The mystic
rious character known as Jack the
Spender." who has created something
of sensation here by the prodigality
with which he spent his money, has
disappeared as strangely as he came.
No one knew his name, who he was,
where he came from or where he got
his money. He would spend as much
as $1,000 in a single evening. One of
his favorite methods of getting rid OF
his money was to secure the liberation
OF persons from the city jail and to
furnish them with complete outfits of
new clothing. At other times he would
open an account at a saloon and buy
drinks for everybody who would ac-
cept.

NO ATTEMPT TO .tEscUE o'pAY.
Friends Of Wyoming Outlaw Believed
20 Have Abandoned Plan,

Casper. Wye. Nov. 2s.-Tom O'Day's
friends are believed to have abandoned
their intention to attack the jail here
and rescue him. and the sheriff has
discharged the greater part Of his spe-
cial deputies.
The alarm over the expected raid
caused the failure Of the w. C. Dencke
Bank, private institution with $4,000
capital and heavy deposits. The fail
ure also compelled the N. S. Bristol
Mercantile Company to suspend busi-
ness.
Deputy sheriffs have recaptured ten
of the horses stolen by O'Day, which
the latter's friends captured from the
sheriff. The sheriff has gone to the
Lost Cabin country after two CT
O'Day's companions, under arrest
there.

SEVEN CITIES IN RACE.
Republican Convention Probably on
June IA. 1904.

June IA, 1904.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-There are
seven cities after the republican ma
tional convention which probably Will
meet on June IA. 1904 The cities are:
st. Louis, Chicago, New York, Pitts
burg. Milwaukee, Detroit and San
Francisco. 1t is generally believed
that the choice lies between Chicago
and st. Louis. The date will not be
finally agreed upon until the national
committee meets at the Arlington Ho-
tel, in Washington, Dec. II and 12.
st. Louis will make a special effort
to add national convention to the list
of its attractions in connection with
there will be ample hotel accommoda-
tions and attention will be called to
the successful entertainment in st
Louis of the convention that nomi-
mated Mckinley in 1896. The point will
also he pressed that every one who at
tends the convention viii want to visit
the exposition, especially those from
distant parts of the country, and thus
will be able to avoid the time and ex
pense Of two journeys.
Unfortunately for st. Louis, most OF
It's arguments can be used in behalf of
Chicago. That is particularly true as
to hotel accommodations and railway
and telegraph facilities. The advo-
Gates of Chicago will urge that those
who come to the convention can easily
visit the exposition also, as st. Louis is
only a few hours distant by rail.
Pittsbury will press its claim seri-
ously. 1t will promise excellent hotel
accommodations and will urge good
encouraged Pittsburg by keeping out
of the contest, being content with hav-
Ing entertained the second Mckinley
convention in 1900.
New York has been suggested for
years as an admirable convention city,
and no doubt many Of those who will
take part In nominating the next
president would enjoy visit to the
metropolis Of the country. New York
has always shown an air of indiffer-
ence as to whether the convention
should come there or not. But 1t Is
said that representatives Of the repub-
lican organization there will appear
this year and urge its selection. One
argument is that New York Is close
state. and that 1t is the state of the
probable nominee.
Milwaukee counts upon the officially
quoted cause OF its fame ITS cool cli-
mate and upon its being the home Of
Postmaster General Payne, vice chair
man of the national committee.
Detroit will urge that 1t Is the chief
city OF the state, where. at Jackson.
the republican party may be said to
have had its birth in 1852. San Fran
cisco is quadrennial aspirant for the
convention Its claims make good
advertisement for the products Of the
Pacific coast and are an admirable ex-
hibit Of civic pride and hospitality. But
its remoteness offsets its attractions.
It is thought that the democratic ma
ton committee will be called together
on Feb. %. and that 1t will fix the date
Of Its party convention for July 4.

Hundreds of dollars of the woman's

And she Is never seen-not by her most

ants are Japanese men. These have to

woman sits in lonely state in her Din

constantly telephoning to the depart

The woman was genuinely pros
trated when the little one died and
now, hour after hour, she fondles and
weeps over the dainty clothing Of the
child whose father Is unknown to any
save herself.

lands second administration On May
6, 1898, he was appointed assistant su-
perintendent OF free delivery. and on
September 16 following he was made
superintendent. At that time he was q
bankrupt financially, with numerous
judgments recorded against him. When
he left Toledo he borrowed sums Of
money from friends promising to repay
these loans but OF the first salary that
he received, which he failed TO do. Var
ious fraudulent representations were
made to secure loans, and upon one
occasion he even resorted to forgery.

Carriers Straps.
On Sept. 16, 1893, four days after
Machen became superintendent of free
delivery, he wrote the first assistant
postmaster general recommending that
leather straps be substituted for twine
used by the letter carriers In tying up
their mall. stating that to equip the
service would not cost more than $1.750
year. The recommenda ton was ap-
proved and Machen ordered several
thousand straps from George D. Lamb
of New Haven. Conn. Up to the time
of Machen's removal over 100000
straps had been purchased at cost of
$1s7.217.3e. CIR over $4,000 year.
On July "a. 1900. the postmaster at
Worcester Mass. wrote the depart
ment asking permission to buy carriers
straps from local dealer, stating that
he could buy them for about half the
