TO THE PEOPLE.
Fitzgerald, July 1903.

Friends:
Now is the time for all people
who desire and pray for a gen
eral uplifting of the standards of
society in our city to give ex-
preston to their sentiments and
to unite in obtaining what we
seek.
We affirm this, not because we
suggest the way to do this work,
but because this is the time when
something is being suggested as
a remedy and we'd rather move
on and up and be little ungrace-
full and fall into some error than
to be never so beautiful as a
statue.
So with all our heart we ask all
the citizens, each citizen-you-
to cooperate with us and all the
others, in striving to do some
thing.
We care not so much what you
think-what you believe-but
what will you do?
It has been to us somewhat of
a surprise that a small per cent
at least of the good citizens ofour
city have manifested so little i'll
terest in a movement that is in
tended to save the boys and girls
of our community, to lift up the
unfortunate, to cooperate with
the poor, to put good literature
into the homes of the needy, to
furnish medical aid to the suffer
ing, to treat worthy cases in our
own private hospital, to train,
Systematically, the bodies of the
young, and in this way lay the
foundation surely for the per-
feet three-fold man, and in this
way begin to fit boys and girls
for wise and wholesome thinking,
living and being.
But they who are now unmind-
tul of their duties to the young
and the needy are missing the
grand opportunity Of being in
the race in this onward march of
progress.
They who now ignore may one
day join our ranks, or at least
wish us we'll, but we want to give
you the opportunity to show your
co1ors now. Are your boys and
your neigh boris boys worth say
ing? Are they being saved?
What are your methods for do
ing this work? Come out please
and stand up where all can see
you and give us all the criticism
you will. Well take it kindly
and profit by it.
We are succeeding. That is a
settled fact. At first we were
doubtful-now we are certain.
The unprecedented, energetic,
moral element in society demands
that we do something and it's that
something that we're trying tc
do.
Will you join the ranks and
share the conflicts? Come. The
victory will be glorious.
Your servant,
EARL WARD PEARcE.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulf11s every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
rs soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

4 DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Man Cuts womnn's Throat ana Thsn
 His Own.

Worcester, Mass, Aug. B.--A special to the Telegram from Northboro says that at 10:2O last night Frank Ross while on his way home heard screams in the direction of Grange Hall, on School street. Fastening in that di- rection he nearly stepped on two bodies lying close to the sidewalk in c. F. Sawyer's yard. next to Grange Hall. Officers were notified at once. Tn hf- teen minutes two officers and Dr. J. M. Stanley were on the scene, but both were dead. The man and woman are supposed to be F. P. Egan and Mrs. Sadie Booth, both of Spencer. The woman was identified by Miles filings worth and the mans name was found in the fly leaf of diary in his pocket.
 Mrs. Booth was twenty-eight years old and a sister of Mrs. Edward A. Lo- gan of Northboro. She has been living with Mrs. Logan for 8 month, while working in a factory in Marlboro tT is said her husband lives in Spencer. Her injuries consist of deep cut start- ing under the right ear and extending more than half across the throat This was inflicted by razor found under her body as she lay on the ground One of the large blood vessels Of the neck was severed and death was imrne- diate.
 The man has a cut almost a duplicate of that on Mrs Booths throat, but not quite so deep. There Is also slight cut higher up and one on the middle of his left wrist The theory of the police is that the man cut the woman's throat, then slashed himself with the razor.
 There was blood all over the clothing and the place all about looked like a shambles. The case of the razor was found in the mars pocket. He also had a tag bearing the name H. s. Cut Ter, Boylston, Mass.

PRISONER CUT HIS THRo 1T.
Man Who Entered His Own Home Rn Il Robbed It

LitchfieId, Aug. 2.-A sensation was
 created at the Litchfield county jail
 this morning when it was discovered ! that Patrick Tucker, a prisoner, had att tempted to end his life by cutting his l throat The attempt was not success ful, although the Wind-pipe was sev- cred.
 Tucker is the man arrested in Goshen I last week and bound over to the supe- | rior court on charge of burglary. He, l it is alleged by the police, together with l onother man, last Saturday night en- tered the house occupied jointly by Mrs. Mors and Tucker and his wife. The ernen went to Mrs. Morses room and after tying her to the foot of her bed theratened to shoot her and later to burn the soles of her feet unless the woman informed the robbers the where- abouts Of her money. Mrs. Morse re- fused to comply with the demands of the robbers, but the latter accidentally found $50 on a dresser in the room. The two men then went to the part of the
 house occupied by Tucker and his wife.
 Here S23 was secured after Mrs. Tucker had been threatened in tn same way as her neighbor.
 Tucker, on the night of the robbery,
 was supposed to be out of town on a visit. The police authorities, after in- vestigating the case for few days, ar-. rested Tucker and sufficient evidence
 was presented by the state to hold him
 for the October term of the superior
 court.
 His attempted suicide was discovered
 about 8 o'clock this morning, short
 time after the act took place. The
 prompt discoverey of the act is the on-
 ly reason that Tucker is alive because
 the wind-pipe was severed. It is be-
 lieved that Tucker will recover, al-
 though his condition is critical.

MURDER IN HAR1FORD.
Man Who Formeriy Lived on Dixweli Avenue the Victim.

Y VI -
 Hartford, Aug. 2.Seraphin Perre-
 ault, thirty three years old, was stab
 bed shortly before midnight last night and he died before he could be taken to 1 the hospital. The post-mortem exam nation to-day showed that the knife
 had cut through the heart Upon Perre- ault was found a letter addressed to himself at 2s3 Dixwel avenue, New Ha- ven. Perreault formerly lived there with his cousin, Philip PerrsauIt, who came here tonight and identified the body. Mrs. George Benedict says she saw Perreault struck, and she gave the police a description of the men. Fred erick Rydish, an Italian, was arrested early this morning for the crime, and Mrs. Benedict identified him at the poz lice station. She said she saw the two | men and Francis Bouchard standing in
 an alley at 41 Mechanic street. The | men were talking low and there was not a quarrel. She says Rydish hit Perreault on the head. apparently with the back of knife, and then stabbed him in the left side. Bouchard was under the influence of liquor. He says he did not see the blow struck and he claims he was going to the back yard to look at some chickens when he
 heard Perreault give cry. He also thinks the blow was intended for him, because he believes Rydish was jealous of him because of a French woman. Rydish denies the crime He is fore man of a gang of Italians on sewer work,

moment the crowd believed that the sig nal meant an election. for there is a tradition that the cardinals are allowed to send up little smoke as a notifica- tion of an election and much smoke in the case of a disagreement. Any such hopes. however, were almost immediate ly dissipated when cloud of very thick smoke emerged and continued for five minutes.
 Several attempts to establish com munication with the conclave have been discovered in time and there have been some suspicious lights waving in the cells of several of the cardinals which were interpreted as signals. These were all reported to the Camerlingo by the marshal and extra precautions were provided to prevent a repetition of the occurrence. Conventional signs for communication, codes. etc, have all failed up to the present time.

Niagara Falls. N. r.. Aug. 2.-sir Thomas Lipton boarded his special train tonight to return to New York after day of strenuous sightseeing, including jolly reception by the mem bers of the Royal Canadian Yacht club at Niagar-on- the-Lake.

Later he inspected the big electric pow CT plant and then went for a trolley ride past the Falls and up to Lewiston, where he boarded one of the Niagara Navigation company steamers for Mi Lake, to which place the Canadian yachtsmen had brought their defender of the Canada,s cup, the Strathcona.
 Upon his arrival at the Queens hotel at Niagara-o -the-Lake Sir Thomas was greeted by Commander Jarvis and the Canadian yachtsmen. After lunch con the yachtsmen drank a toast to Sir Thomas health. In responding he said: "Our good friends, the Americans, have a wonderful boat in the Reliance, but we have a bit of a wonder. too. I am glad to have this opportunity on Brit ish soil of testifying to the very many courtesies and kindnesses I have re- iceiyed from your good neighbors, the American people. and of stating that there are no better no truer sportsmen the world over than your good friends across your frontier. If an error was ever made it would be in favor of the foreigners. For good sportsmen give me the American people. hope to go to Toronto and take that cup after the races.''

RFF0RMERS TERRIFIED.
china's Empress Downger stiil Bitter
 against Foreigners

Pekin, Aug. 2-China switnessing a return to the conditions which followed the coup d'etat of 1898. Political dls- cussions among the Chinese, which in- creased during the imperial courts re- cent policy of friendliness toward for eigners, has suddenly stopped. The plan of the dowager empress to terrify the reformers by the execution of Shen Chien, which occurred last Friday, has been successful. All the liberal Chi nese, particularly those who have been associated with the reforners, are in the greatest fear of arrest, and it is diff ficult to find a Chinaman who is willing to mention politics or Fridays tragedy, although the latter is almost the only topic of conversation among trusted friends. The officials are particularly dumb. The affair is disappointing to the foreigners, who had hoped that the empress dowager's association with the ladies of the legations woull have a civ ilizing influence. Prince Su, the most liberal of the Manchu princes, who iii March last issued proclamation against incense burning to military idols, because it was the chief rite dur ing the Boxer troubles, is reported to have risked his office by opposing the execution of Shen Chien.

lNSULTED THE ROOSEVELTS
OYSTER BAY CYCLIST USED PRO-
 ZANE LANGUAGE.
As the Preeidsnt aud His FamIiy Drove by on Their Way to Church she Man With an ORensive Oath Demanded to Know if They Wanted the Whole Road-Hustied Away by Secret Service Men.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 2.-Profane and insulting language was directed toward President Roosevelt and his family to-day as they were driving up to Christ church, there to attend the morning service. The offender was . resident of Oyster Bay named MeCann. He was hustled away by the secret ser- vice detectives. Accompanied by Mrs
 Roosevelt and two of her children the president had driven to the village from Sagamore Hill to attend church Ser vice, as is their custom on Sunday mornings. Directly in front of Christ church the man McCann was walking along the roadside pushing a bicycle.
 As the presidents carriage was about to turn into the driveway leading into the church grounds. it passed McCann.. Without provocation, the man, with an offensive oath, demanded to know whether they wanted the whole road. This was followed by abusive and pros fane language. As the carriage stopped at the church door, the president, greatly annoyed at the insult offered to Mrs. Roosevelt and the children, alighted and directed the attention of the secret service officers to the man and ordered that he be compelled to leave the vicinity of the church. Mc- Cam hesitated when ordered to move. on but as an officer was about to stim- ulate his movements he sprang on his wheel and rode away rapidly. While the incident was annoying to the presi- dent and his family it is his desire that no action be taken against the man.
