COL. PEARRE'S FAME SPREADING.
He Is Wei known For His Oratory and
Hard Work.
RAvENA, O. Nov. 20,

RAVENA, O. Nov. 20, 1903.
The election is over. We have met
the enemy and we are theirs. The
Republicans only carry seven counties
ont of twenty-three, and these by re
duced maiorities. The returns are
interesting in many ways and if the
Republicans are wise they will profit
by this defeat. fractional differences
should be buried and earnest and
thorough work should be done if
there is to be any hope of carrying
Maryland for Roosevelt next year.
But it was not of the election | meant
to write but of another matter. A
few days ago while on my way from
Pittsburg to Ravena | had the great
pleasure to have for my travelling
companion the Hon AlOnzo Hart, Elk
Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, who is
now connected with the Department
of Justice, Washington, d. c., and
who was on his way to Chardon, O.,
to attend the annual banquet of the
Garfield Club, where Mr. Hart made
the principal address of the evening

Ohio in 1874 was elected Governor

to know that his fame was going

OBITUARY.

The following lines are respectfully
dedicated to the memory of the late
Josiah Bittinger, who passed from
our midst OH Thursday morning,
November 18th, 1908, aged "a years,
: months and 10 days.
Shadows fell athwart our pathway,
Shadows deep and filled with gloom;
He who led thee through life safely,
Passed before thee through the tomb.
Higher, higher thou art passing,
Up the steep where Jesus trod;
See his footprints safely guiding.
Leading onward, up to GOD.
Loved ones mourn, and sadly miss thee.
From this quiet earthly home;
Angel hands will guide them safely,
They viii follow one by one.
Then in yonder home forever,
Gathered round the shining throne:
All shan meet no more to sever,
All united, Home Sweet Home"

Chicago, May 1.-THE Inter Ocean

After following 1,O0e clues, which took
them into nearly every state of the
Union and to three different continents.
detectives have found at last what they
believe win lead them to a solution of
the mystery which has shrouded the
disappearance of Frank Ely Rogers. the
IS-year-old son of James c. Rogers Of
Evanston. and his aunt, Florence Ely

land Confident that he will meet his
sister and his nephew, detectives viii
sail on the same steamer and watch his
every movement, as they have since he
was released from the Connecticut pen
itentiary at Wethersfeld eight weeks
ago.
During all the investigation by the
police and the many detective agencies
which have worked on the case this
brother has never been mentioned by
the family. Now. however, every effort
IS being made to follow his every foot
step. The family believes that he will
lead them to the missing boy.
According to the theory Of the detec-
tives Ely planned the abduction of
Frank Ely Rogers because he wanted
revenge on the boys father. The story
IS that James c. Rogers testified
against his brOther-in-law when he
was arrested in Nashville, Tenn, Feb
20, 1887. He was caught in the act Of
robbing woman whom he had fol-
lowed from Concord. n. H. to the ex-
position 1t is said at that time Ely
shook his fist at his brother-in-la and
said he would get even.
Mr.. Rogers denied that he appeared
against Ely. but the detectives who
made the arrest say that if he did not

Everything indicates, the detectives
say, that Miss Ely and the boy she took
away with her are in Paris. Mr. ROg-

TRACED TO FRANCE.
Stolen Stradivarius Recovered by
Gar of Russia.

Berlin, May ia Stradivarius,
which had been played by several
ears, beginning with Alexander l. and
which disappeared from the museum
of the imperial orchestra at St. Peters
burg in May. 1902, has been recovered
by Dwight J. Particle. the United
States treasury agent here. Mr. Par
tello, who himself is the pOssessor OF
twenty famous vioIins. heard a word
dropped by a person interested in VIC
Inns. which enabled him to trace the
stolen instrument to a collector living
in a town of southern France. who
bought ii for $500 from a Paris dealer.
The violin just recovered is specially
precious to the present ear, because
one of his childhood recollectiOns is
seeing his father. Alexander III. often
play on it. Gar Nicholas. therefore,
was much annoyed when, walking
through the museum one day, he saw

varius commonly rested an ordinary in
strument with the name of a St. Pc

dor recognized and pointed out a mem
Der of the imperial household as a buy
er of this cheap instrument. The ac-
cused denied the statement. and, as he
was of rank sufficiently high to have
his word accepted, this line of inquiry
was dropped.

CHEAP CHINESE LABOR.
South Africa Will Soon Be Overrun
With Celestial Hordes.


London, May 16.-The Importation Of
Chinese labor into South Africa was de-
cided upon in principle some time ago.
but no definite plans have yet been
formed regarding the number to be inn
ported nor the conditions to govern the
importation.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and
the big firms Of the Rand are in agree
ment that no other solution of the Ia
Dor difficulty is possible At present
half the stamps at the mines are idle
because only $4,000 Kaffirs are procur-
able when 80, 900 men are required As
a consequence the conditions at Jo-
hannesburg are daily growing worse
and business is slack. White labOrers
f1ocked there at the close Of the war
but they were unable to find satisfac-
tory employment and discomfort is rife.
This suits the Rand magnates, who are
loath to accept the sole responsibility
for introducing yellow labor and hope
that the prevailing paralysis Of trade
will soon lead to a popular demand for
the importation Of even the hated Chi
nese," so that the mines may be set
working at their full capacity with a
consequent revival of business depend
ing thereon. ID TO the present, how
ever, the trading population Of South
Africa is bitterly opposed to the impor-
tatiOn Of Chinese.

Of them is an American citizen, so It
has no warrant for interference. There
IS no parallel between cases Of the Jews
in ROumania and those in Russia. In
the first case. it is said at the depart
ment, that the United States had a
grOr@d for Intervention because the
Roulnanian governments action was
injuTing the United States by dumping
a horde Of undesirable immigrants upon
her shore. It was not asserted that
this result follows the Russian act
which, moreover. it is pointed out, is
not official.
A Case in Point.
It is precisely as If Count Cassini
should present himself to Secretary
Hay and in the name of his government
protest against reported lynchings OF
negroes by mObs in this country which
probably would result in a polite init
nation to the ambassador that he was
going beyond the limits of his proper
business.
That is the state of the case officially,
but it may be added that the limited
action taken by the United States has
served a purpose to make known to the
Russian government that the moral in
huence of the United States is directed
toward securing an amehoration Of the
condition Of the Jews in Russia.
