RALLY or LITTERY TELLERS
Impossible to Learn II They Endorsed Met
caIfe for Assembly.

From literary shops and rathskellers last
night issued the former editors Of the
Cosmopolitan, called to mass meeting to
consider the case Of their fellow. James
Stetson Metcalfe, now the warraeA 8 ward az
Tammany candidate for Assembly III the

Arthur Sherburne Hardy, Willis J. Abbot,
James l.. Ford, Winston Churchill, who
wrote THE Crisis; Irving Bachelor, George
Casamajor, John D. Barry and William B.
Hale.
Reporters could not get into the prin-

Nineteenth Assembly distric. az settle
ment which had grown up around Tom
Healy's restaurant.
Just as the mass meeting was on the
verge OF indorsing Aietcalfe, James L. Ford,
by proxy, injected this question: DO you
men know that this Candidate secured his
nomination on the ground that it would put
Lite into the campaign?'
Whate'er the fell purpose OF the query
was it achieved it. Those present when
coming away said they could remember
nothing else.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS SMALL.
This Isn't Ono Of the Plush Years With tho
Men Who Usually Contribute.


All the politicians, Republican, Citizens
Union and Tammany, are talking about the
prospective scarcity Of campaign funds.
Two years ago Republicans, Citizens Union
men and Tammany men were pretty flush.
business was good to overflowing after
Mckinley's first election and plenty OF
money had been won fn Wall Street on the
great rise which began in 1897 and came to
. halt during the Presidential fight Of 1900,
then to be resumed after McKinley's second
victory.
Two years ago In the Mayoralty nght
checks for s 900 and $40 900 were no rarity,
not only with the Republicans and the
Citizens Union, but also in the Tammany
camp; but thus far contributions have been
small. for the simple reason that the vast
majority Of investment securities have been
cut almost In two in value, Gnd the advent
urous who follow the Wall Street tape have
seen their fortunes either wiped out or
very materially reduced.
The expenses Of q campaign IN New York
city are tremendous. and in the estimation
Of politicians all political orga nizations have
suffered equally in the great slump In In
vestment and speculative securities.

ORDER OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Marched Through Streets This Morn
ing With Ball and Chain Attach
ed to Ankles.
ORDER OF COUNTY, commissioners

It was pretty disguised trio Of
prisoners that fled out of the county
Jail this morning and with ball and
chain securely fastened to their ank
les were compelled to "hoof' it fol
three miles and spend the day break
ing rock and repairing the Mill creek
road east of the city.
The board of commissioners this
mroning decided that unemployed
prisoners confined in the county jail
for various offenses be set to work on
the county roads and an order to that
effect was handed to Sheriff Painter
As there are only three prisoners
available at present they were march
ed out and up through Main street
to the scene of work about three
miles up the creek. There they spent
the day breaking rock and with the
pick and shovel.
Instead of nice warm dinner the
men were compelled to eat q cold
smack" which probably affected their
nerves more than the work did. The
men will be worked on county roads
within reasonable marching distance
from the Jail until unreasonable
weather sets in.

LONG SENTENCE FOR PATcHEN

William Patchen, who was convict
ed of criminal assault upon Irene
Brown, 1O-year-old girl, was senJenc.
ed to FL years in the penitentiary by
Superior Judge Bell, says the Post.
Intelligencer. The sentence is the
longest ever imposed by any court in
this county for a single crime, except
life sentences for murder. In passing
sentence, Judge Bell said that ne
could see no extenuating circum-
stances in the evidence adduced at
the trial that should impel the court
to exercise clemency. The statute
leaves the sentence for criminal as
sault at the discretion of the judge
imposing the sentence.
The crime for which Patchen must
pay the penalty was committed last
April. The evidence produced by the
state was overwhelmingly against the
accused Two of the states witnesses
were little girls of II and II years,
who had also been assaulted by
Patchen. The evidence was so strong
against the accused that the jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty after Two
hours deliberatiOn.
Frank Van Waters, who is accused
of also committing criminal assault
upon Irene Brown will be tried dur
ing this month. The same evidence
that was used in the trial of Patchen
will be used against Van Waters.

MISS BRYAN HEART-FREE.

Cleveland, O.-William J. Bryan ar.
rived here Tuesday from the east and
called at the city hall for a confer
ence with Mayor Johnson. The later
was out of the city, however, and Mr.
Bryan subsequently left for Toledo
after taking lunch with Charles J. Sa-
lem, chairman Of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee. Mr.. Bryan de-
clined to discuss national politics, but
predicted that Mr.. Johnson would be
elected governor of Ohio.
While here Mr.. Bryan gave out the
following statement relative to the
printed report that his daughter Ruth
was engaged to marry Captain Rich
mond P. Hobson:
"There is no truth whatever in the
reported engagement, and the news
paper man who sent out the report
might have learned the truth by in
curing of Captain HobsOn or Of our
family. Mr. Hobson called on Mrs.
Bryan when he lectured at Lincoln
recently, and there met my daughter
The fact that such circumstance is
made the basis for the story printed
shows how unreliable some of the so
called newspapers are.

ART OF GETTING TO SLEEP.

All the conditions must be favora-
BILE to sleep. The bedroom should be
quiet, dark, and airy. In winter it is
better to have the window away up
than to shut it SO that a knife-edged
draught shall chill and expose the
shoulder. The temperature of the bed
should be agreeable. Getting to
sleep when the feet are cold is as
slow job as getting to sleep when
hungry A hot water bottle in one
case and a piece of bread and butter
in the other will help things. l leave
it to you to decide which is for which.
A warm bed in winter is easily got,
but a cool bed in summer is not SO
simple a proposition. However. a
sheet made Of straw mating, inter
posed between the regular sheet and
the mattress, will be found to miti-
gate sensibly the horrors of a hot
night. 1t preserves the softness and
springiness of the bed, and yet is
pleasantly cool. PERSONAL, find
that sleep comes soonest when / have
no pillows at all.
The next thing is to relax utterly
Remember that the corner of the jaw
is a citadel of tension. While that is
oilnched no sleep can come. The rea
son why we fail in this is the same az
the reason why we fail in other
things. We do not very genuinely
want to succeed. AS we lie stretched
out after a busy day, there are many
thoughts that we want to chase after
that we drop the notion of sleep
though we know that tomorrow is an
other day on which we can think. L
is all very well to say: Dismiss these
thoughts" How to dismiss them l:
the problem that each must solve

cUSsED HARD SWIM.

Hood River, Or, Aug. 31.-John LIE
land Henderson, of Hood River, So
years old, swan Is miles in the chill
ling waters of the Columbia this
morning in five hours and % minutes.
He dived from the steamer dock at
The Dalles two minutes before z o.
clock and left the water at Straight
landing, on the Washington shore, a
short distance below Mosier Station,
at 1902, chilled to the marrow and
SO benumbed he could hardly stand
erect. 1t was his intention to make
the remaining five miles to Hood
River, but the high winds and almost
ice cold waters were too much for
his iron nerve and wonderful endu-
rance.
"My, l never did feel such cold
water" said Mr.. Henderson as he
emerged from the river on to the
warming sands where those who &C
companied him in the steamer Maine
had landed to receive him and to
assist in rubbing him into normal
condition.
''If it hadn't been so cussed cold
could have made it all right. This
trip was much harder than the one
made in 1898 from Hood River to
Cascade Locks. There wasn't SO
much wind and the water wasn't sc
cold. l crossed the river five times
in my swim today
In addition to the steamer Maja
with Captain Taylor at the wheel, q
rowboat with Amos Underwood
Charles e. Hayward and e. N. Blythe
worked alongside of the swimmer
Amos Underwood, who used to pilot
wood scows on the Upper Columbia
in the early SOS, steered the boat
and pointed out to Henderson the
soft spots in the water.
