have reported chicken coop robberies

Carrollton, O., Oct. 23.--The farmers
and miners of Republican Carroll
county turned out en- masse to hear
Mayor Johnson discuss the issues of
the state campaign Thursday. The out
pouring at Sherodsville, where fully
1900 people gathered, mostly coal min
ers, was especially gratifying to the
Democratic campaign managers. The
first meeting of the day was held at
Sherodsville, the second meeting at
noon in Carrollton, and the day was
ended with a meeting in Minerva. From
Minerva Mayor Johnson went to
Cleveland, where he spoke in the even.
ing at three different meetings.
At Carrollton crowd of 1000 gath
cred for the meeting. Hal De Ran, a
Democratic orator from the north west,
who has come into this district to as
sist in the defeat of Pollock, preceded
the Democratic gubernatorial candi-
date. Mayor Johnson's speeches were
along usual lines, and it is confidently
believed that the large Republican ma
jority will be sliced considerably at
this election. The speakers made
special impression upon the audience
at Sherodsville, where Mr.. Johnson
gave heart-to-heart talk to the min
ers. Sherodsville is a stiff Republican
community, and the Republicans as
we'll as Democrats cheered the speak
ers.
At Minerva Atlee Pomerene of Can
ton, Mr.. De Ran and Candidate De-
weese, in addition to Mr.. Johnson,
made short addresses. Until Mayor
Johnson's visit it was almost an i'm
possibility to obtain a crowd of few
hundred in Carroll county to listen to
Democratic stump speakers At Min
erya E. F. DeFord presided at the
meeting
Among the Canton people who ac-
companied the mayor on his tour were
Jackson Pontius, A. T. Dennis, DEM
ocratic candidate for sheriff, Atlee
Pomerene and Nelson Lind.

BY STEALTH
Wife Had Husbands Body Dis
inferred at Duffin, O., and
Brought to Her Home.

Steubenville, o.. Oct 2S.-In order
to secure the remains of Fred Potts,
structural iron worker of this city,
who died at his mothers home in Mon
roe county, recently, John Nye, an un-
dertaker Of this city. dug up the re-
mains at dawn Thursday in the ceme-
terry at Duffin. o., and crossed to the
West Virginia side.S This most un-
usual method of securing the body was
only resorted to after all peaceful
methods had failed.
Relatives at Baersville notified Mrs.
Potts of her husbands death and at
the same time notified her that the
funeral would be held at a certain
time. She telegraphed them to ship
the remains to Steubenville for inter-
ment, but they paid no attention to
her request.

COKE WORKERS IDLE
Reduced Production In Con-
nellsvil!e Throws 10, 900 Out
OF & mp loymcnt.

Connellsville, Oct 23.-The coke
trade continues to slump and each day
is adding to the list of idle ovens.
There were nearly 1000 ovens blown
out last week and still greater num-
ber are likely to be made smokeless
this week. The idle list Is now over
1000 in the Connellsville region and
about 1000 in the Masontown field
In proportion to the available ovens
in the two fields this is very large
idle list, though not up to the per-
centage of ovens scheduled to go out.
Taking the basis set by the furnace
men, the idle list will reach 5000, and
may possibly get up to 10000
ovens by the time the furnaces are
all on the restriction list. The re-
striction in the coke business means
several months idleness for nearly
10000 coke workers.

UNEASY
Railroad Men OF Alliance Fear
Many Men Of Their Number
May be Laid OF.

According to the Alliance Review,
much apprehension is felt among rail-
road men in that city with reference
to a greater reduction of the operat-
ing force.
The day after the annual inspection
was made at Alliance 32 graders were
laid OFF and local men believe this re-
duction only presages a further re-
duction in the force of trainmen. This,
it is expected, will develop between
the first and fifteenth of November
What it's extent may be is only con-
lecture, but the feeling prevails that
some men and crews will be laid off.

KILL ALL SICK Who
CANNOT GET WELL
CoIdblooded Scheme Proposed
by New York Preacher
to the Doctors.

New York, Oct 23-Rev. Marie T.
G. Wright of the Lenox Avenue Uni
tartan church startled the guests at
the annual banquet of the New York
State Medical association Thursday
evening by favoring euthanasia, or the
putting of incurables to an easy death.
Mr.. Wright said:
Il appreciate the practical difficult
ties in the way OF the application of the
doctrine, but 1t seems to me that it is
not beyond the bounds of possibili-
ties. OF course 1t would be necessary
to have the advice and approval of
men of the highest scientific attain
ment. The city might be divided into
districts and every application should
be considered most carefully, not
merely by physicians. but by some
eminent clergymen. OF course there
should be the consent of the relatives
and the consent and even the request
of the patient himself. Where all these
conditions are fulfilled and when the
prolongation of life is simply the pro-
longation of hopeless agony, it seems
to me that such patient should quiet
ly, decently and modestly be allowed
to end the sufferings. 1t seems to me
that such a course would be step for
ward in civilization and a step farther
away from barbarism."

So Chara cterized by
Clarke In Bellefontaine
Speech.

oBellefontaine, o., Oct. 23.--John II.
Clarke opened the Democratic cam
paign here last night in the opera house
and in TIE course of his arraignment
of Senator Hanna took occasion to call
George B. Cox, of Cincinnati an anar-
chist for his effort to pollute the bench
of the country by opposing the ap-
pointment of Judge Wright of Cincin-
natl to district judgeship. He fur
ther expressed belief that Senator For
aker more than any other man in Ohio
would rejoice at the defeat of Senator
Hanna and he therefore asked the
friends of Foraker to cast their votes
for Democratic members of the gen.
eral assembly. One attack after an
other was made on Senator Hanna
with evident effect on the audience.
Senator Hanna was not reading man
or he would know that a business panic
came about every twenty years and
not to take to himself the credit and
glory for being able to preserve pros
perity.
Natural issues were discussed with
the same force as given to state af-
fairs and the speaker paid special at
tention to the Philippines, saying he
would favor treating the possession
IN the same manner as Cuba and Civ
ing it independence. He said: THE
United States flag never waved so
beautifully as when it was being haul
ed down in the island of Cuba"

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September 16, 1906


A study of autumn street suits makes 1t
plain that the short skirt and long jacket
are not to go. all predictions to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Suits In such mod
els are seen on all sides. with the pleated
skirts a shade more voluminous and the
leather belts of the coats several degrees
wider.
Many new stuffs are used for these practi-
cal costumes. which in some cases will be
accompanied by headgear in the same ma
terial. English textures in rich dark COL
orings are seen and many of them show
the old zibeline influences. The contrasts
in color are rich and becoming, and GER
tain iron gray, with fiecks of plum, is a
combination of exceeding distinction.
With all of these soft wool stuffs which
are of an extreme lightness, braids and
gimps IN black contrasting shades will
be employed. With the broken plaids of
which there are n number in the market,

ed under the nicely ironed bosom 1t will be
likely to spoil it. When the shirt is dry
enough press the sleeves first. then fold
down the middle of the back and smooth
the body laying a plait in the front below
the bosom. Now turn the shirt over on It's
bosom and fold the sides over on to the
back, turning in the sleeves SO that the
cuffs or bands rest near the neck. Pin the
folds over and then fold the shirt length
wise so that the bosom is on top and the
soft part underneath and IL is finished.
Clothes should be ironed until quite dry,
otherwise they will look rough. They
should also be well aired before they are
put away in the drawers as no matter
now dry they may appear, there is pit to be
some dampness lurking in the folds. 1t is
better to iron handkerchiefs right from the
tub without any previous drying.

Green Tomato Chutney.

Chop fine one dozen large, firm green to-
matoes, or their equivalent in small ones.
Remove the seeds from two green and one
red pepper and peel two rather small
onions, chopping each ingredient separately
and very fine. Seed and quarter cup of
raisins. Put one pint OF strong vinegar
over the fire with a half glass of currant
jelly. When the latter is dissolved add the
prepared vegetables and simmer for an
hour, stirring frequently. Add two cups OF
sugar. one of lemon juice, one tablespoonful
each Of ground ginger and salt and one
quarter teaspoonful of cayenne. Cook an
other hour, stirring almost constantly.
Pour into small, wide-mouthed glass jars
and seal hot. The chutney should be about
the consistency of French mustard.
Chutney is an invaluable addition to the
store closet, yet is an expensive thing to
buy. While this may be used at once IL
grows richer with age.
