The New Cup Challenger

The English people are very per-
in their efforts to recapture
the cup which Americans have held
for so many years. Another attempt
is to be made this summer, and to that
end a new challenger is being built
which is claimed will have more speed
than those used in the past. The re-
sult will be watched with great inter-
by both sides. There has also been
much interest manifested by the peo-
ple in the marvellous success OF Hos
letters Stomach Bitters during the
past fifty years. 1t has established a
record of cures unequalled by any
other remedy of such ailments as
heartburn. belching, indigestion, dys-
nepsia. constipation, insomnia ner-
or spring fever. If you are
a sufferer, we urge you to try a bottle
at once.

TIED SEXTON AUTOPSY.
Family of Dead Man Wished It to AL
 lay Rumors.

Chicago, Oct .3O.-In order to dispel doubts that had arisen regarding the true nature of the illness which caused the death of F. !. Sexton, millionaire contractor, on. Wednesday. an autopsy has been held at the residence in Mich igan avenue.
 Vague rumors had been floating about during the time. subsequent to Mir Sexton's death to the effect that ar senical poisoning was indicated in the patients symptoms and in the appear ance of the body after death.
 Neither the widow nor the sons. two of whom survive, placed any eredence in the rumors. but to set them at rest they arranged for postportem ex- animation.
 } Its result was to make clear the cause of death was deterioration of the spinal cord. attended by neurasthenia and anaemia.
 The quickness with which the col lapse came finally Is thought to have given rise to the baseless poison ru- nor.

PARTY EMBLEMs.
'sBill'' Devery's is in the Form of
 Pump.

Pump.
 The New York law providing for party emblenls to be placed with the lists of party candidates on the ballot results is a fine collection this year and some of the enblems provoke a smile, like that for Devery's ''indepen- dent peoples party the emblem in this case being a street hydrant which does duty as a pump. The United Workmen's league takes the sun rising over the ocean for it's device: the inde pendent republicans have a hammer and anvil; the socialist labor party an arm and hammer; the social democratic party an arm and torch; the prohibition party a great big fountain pouring cold water on everything in sight, The German democracy, which nominates only one candidate, uses a great oak tree as its emblem, and the independent democracy, which nominates only two, has found some reason for taking a reindeer's head Another party which nominates but one candidate is the Bronx Borough Democratic club, and this uses a triangle.
 The citizens union ticket, with the name of Seth Low at the head, has for US GIADtCul LlOSL LS llS World" as represented on Bedloe's Island to the daily delectation of New Workers and visitors. The republican eagle and the democratic star appear as usual.
 The emblems are meant to save trouble for voters who mean to vote straight the names with which the em- blems go. and they take the place of reading for some voters whose early education was neglected. No one will miss that which commemorates Mir Devery's famous place for meeting his friends. or that which indicates the nominees of the cold water men, But ft seems as if in most cases there had been some lack of imagination-unle the imagination has been too abstruse for most people to understand and that N just as bad fault as hayfng. &4sNS 7sf*4h

Nearing An End and Will Pro-
 bably Finish To-Night
PROSECUTION TRIPPED UP.

rhe Accused, Looking Fresh and
 Jovial, Appeared in Court This
 Morning Parks Testified That
 There Was Trouble in Getting the
 Hecla Check-Defense Cause Some
 Surprise When It Announced We
 Rests''
 New York. Oct 3O.-In all probability Samuel J. Parks, the walking delegate who is on trial before Judge Newburg- CT, charged with the extortion of Sooo from the Tiffany's studios corporation. will know tonight whether another conviction shall be recorded against him. The accused entered the court room to-day looking fresher than any day since this trial began last Monday. His ordeal on the stand yesterday ey1- dently had the effect of making him more composed, as he showed none of the nervousness and uneasiness which he exhibited yesterday in marked degree.
 After Judge Newburger had disposed of some minor cases the Parks case was resumed and MT Osborne arose and said: "The defense rests.
 This caused good deal of surprise. Parks was called to the stand by As sistant District Attorney Rand. who asked the accused if on yesterday he had said: 1T refused to take a check from Schmitt because our treasurer had some difficulty in cashing the check of Hecla," meaning another transaction which occurred some time previous to the Tiffany incident. Parks thought for few seconds before the answered this question, but finally said: 'So, did not say that said we had some trouble in getting cash for the Hecla check"
 Mir Osborne then tried to get Parks to say that he had given the $500 which he received from Schmitt of the Tiffany company to Treasurer John son of the Housesmiths. and Bridge men's union, No 2, but the court baked him. He said. however. in getting Parks to let the jurymen hear, that the accused had not taken a cent of money for himself. and had not demanded 1t for bis own benefit. As soon as Parks had got in this remark he was excused as a witness and walked back to his seat beside his counsel.

ECHO OF RISE AND FALL.
International Power Stock Go Cause
 of Contention.

or OOntenuon.
 New York, Oct 3O.--An echo of the great rise and still greater fall in the price of International Power Go shares on the Etock exchange in April, 1902, has been heard in the su, preme court. Joseph H. Hoadley, al- legged to have been connected with the pool which worked up the stock is charged in an affidavit filed by Jo- seph Letter. his former partner, with having induced the witness to take q half interest in the purchase of 1000 shares for $1S0,O00 which he now be- .lieves were sold to Letter and Hoadley by Hoadley himself. Soon they were forced to sell at $50, MT Letter being squeezed by his partner, he alleged, for the sum of $65,OO0.'
 The affidavit was brought out by the defendant firm of James NJ. Leopold & Go. who have been sued by Alfred H. Hoadley, an assignee, brother of Joseph. The brokers say they have a claim of $sO,00O against $150,000 worth of International Power Co stock deposited with them by Cyrus Field Johnson. The Hoadleys seek to stop a sale, alleging it is thein8 prop cray. Judge Amend has taken the case under advisement.
 Letter aRd Hoadley were affiliated in the organization of the company but the former testifies that all rela- tions between them in the marketing of their stock ceased in 1901. Hoad- ley left the city last Sunday on his way south but was taken i'll at Phila- delphia and it is said to be in very serious condition.

PROMOTER CONGER ARRESTED'
The Charge Against Him is
 That of Grand Larceny

He Induced Vanderbilt and Others to
 Invest in a Concern That Failed to
 Pan Out-Conger Claimed to Have
 Patent on Carbon Engine.
 New York, Oct 3O.-John B. Conger, a promoter, who until three months ago occupied an office uptown where he was known as president and gen eral manager of the National Carbon ate Engine Go, has been arrested on 8 charge of grand larceny. William H. Reynolds, wealthy broker, asserts that Conger obtained from him $40 by false pretenses and it Is alleged by others that the promoter had induced Cornelius Vanderbilt and others to in vest in the concern of which he was the head to the extent of $4o,0o0.
 MT Reynolds swore out the warrant on which Conger was arrested after he and a lawyer had laid the case before District Attorney Jerome for investlga- tion
 Conger is said by the complainants to have come from Buffalo about year and half ago. He had, so he declared, a patent on carbon engine especially adapted to use on railroads, which he maintained that would save , per cent of the present cost of fuel
 About three months ago Reynolds al- Ieges Conger procured from him a loan of $40, by telling the following story:
 "My aunt Mrs Upham, is expected home from Europe in a few days. She and are joint trustees of the estate of her husband who was president of the First National bank of St Paul. Minn. A box of securities had been shipped from St Paul by express to trust company of this city. and there is $40 express charges due. I am temporar fly short of funds, but will return the loan in few days. am to receive S8.000 worth of the securities in the box. but 1t cannot be opened except i'll the presence of my aunt and myself. ,"
 ReynoILds says he loaned the money and upon investigation later found there was no such box of securities as Conger described and that the express company had not forwarded tI,a hax to Conger
