AMERICAN A VICTIM.
pr. Alvin c. Alderman Dies of Sus-
 picious Disease.

Monterey, Mex, September 2,-Dr. AL win G. Alderman, a well-known Ameri- can, founder of the Christian institute. died at his home near the school from what it is said to be yellow fever The authorities Nare taking every precaution to prevent the spread of the disease and no new cases have been reported. The schools have been suspended. The gov ernment authorities are on the alert and should this case be followed by another it will be carefully watched to prevent a spread of the contagion. That the dis ease will spread is doubted by the med ical men of the city. who know of the precautions being taken. They also say the prevailing cool weather is not con- ducive to a continuance of the dis ease.
 Physicians are recommending the use of mosquito bars and that the places about the city where water stagnates be sprinkled with coal oil to kill the wig gletails.
 The quarantine has been frightened as much as possible. and every case of sick ness reported is quickly investigated.
 Tonight it is reported. but not of ficially confirmed, that Monterey has now six cases of fever.

Sickness steals more savings than the burglar Slowly, coin by coin, the money that has been so hardly earned Is paid out for drugs and doctors. Sickness is the worst enemy of the work ing man, and the common cause of the working mans sickness is disease of the stomach often involving the heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys.
 The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med Heal Discovery will stop the stealing of the savings by sickness. It cures dis eases of the stomach and other organs ot digestion and nutrition.

President of | l. U Says t Is
 Not AntagODistic
REPLIES ID CLERGYMEN
Obligation Of Laborina Man is Not Opposed to Church and State, But Riahsi of Individuals
 Are Respected.

Indianapolis, September 27.-Presldent Lynch of the International Typographical Union, in the next issue of the organ of the union, will reply to charges that the oath subscribed to by members of the union is antagonstic and Is paramount to religious obligations. It is claimed the agitation was begun by Roman Cath ollie clergy. notably Bishop Scannel of Omaha, Father Ward of Beloit, and Fath- CT Baert of Marshall, Michigan.
 President Lynch will say:
 Trade unions are certainly under the white light of public observation. Any thing and everything that concerns them and their members, are eagerly seized on and made much of as items of news. Features that a year ago would have at tracted slight notice. if noticed at all, to- day furnish the themes for extensive edi- torials on which the writers evidently try to spend their best thoughts. So with our obligation. The writer subscribed to this obligation seventeen years ago. Thou sands accepted 1t before that period, and thousands upon thousands have, without hesitation, repeated it during these years. Now we are informed that, because of the obligation, we are opposed to the church and state. Nothing could be wider of the mark nor more distant from the truth. We do maintain that we shall be allowed to conduct our trade union business with out influence from politics or religion, fraternity or combination.
 "On the other hand, we do not inter- fere with the political or religious beliefs of any of our members These beliefs are sacred to the individual, and he is and always has been at liberty, so far as the union is concerned, to follow his bent in the selection of religion, politics and fraternal organizations, or he may ab- stain from participation in them alto gether. It is immaterial to the union. The union has its field and It proposes to confine itself to that field. From the persistence with which certain newspa- pers have exploited the attack made on our obligation by several clergymen, the belief is forced that these papers would not suffer great grief should the I. T. U. go ashore on the religious and political rocks. But 1t is not doubted that the good common sense of our membership will keep the union in safe waters and permit the attack that has been made by those who may have been we'll mean ing, and afterwards used as newspaper sensation to die of hamilton And that is evidently just what is happening"

HANNA WILL NOT TALK ID CLARKE 
 Chairman Dick Says Democrats
 Do Not Stand Pat HE ASKS MANY QUESTIONS In caustic Vein He Says Mr. Clarke Has Vast Assortment of Prin-
 ciples While MT. Hanna
 Has But One.
HE ASKS MANY QUESTIONS

Columbus, September 27.-The reply of Chairman Dick of the republican state committee to Chairman Salen of the dem ocratic state committee, declining the challenge of John H. Clarke, democratic joint debate with Senator M A. Hanna, was given out tonight Chairman Dick says in part:
 T regret that capdor compels me to say that I find some rather serious ob- jections to the conditions of your pro- posaL There ought to be some mutual quality in a joint discussion. MT. Hanna's party has but one set of principles, while Mir. Clarke's party has a vast assortment of principles, sounding the entire gamut from doctrine to dogma-democratic, pop ulstlc, agrarian and socialistic.
 There is tariff. How does MT. Clarke stand on that issue? His party stands all over it. In New England 1t Is for free raw material and for protected finished products; in Texas 1t is for protected raw material and for free finished pro- ducts.
 Some Questions.
 Does MT. Clarke favor tariff for reve- nue only, or a tariff for revenue with in- cidental protection? Is he German tariff democrat or Johnson no-tariff democrat? if he favors any kind of tariff, let him debate with MT. Johnson, who is an ab- solute free trader and would repeal every tariff and internal revenue law and sell all the custom houses.
 MT. Clarke has all these strings to his bow and more too. What chance does MT. Hanna, who has only one string to his bow, have in dsputation with such man? MT. Hanna stands pat When MT. Clarke joins a party that stands pat on anything, MT. Hanna will talk with him.
 'The republicans state platform de- clares that every one of the war amend ments' is binding in honor upon every American citizen. Why did MT. Clarke say in his Akron speech that that platform winds up with the declaration that amounts to nullifcation of the fifteenth amendment.'
 On War Amendments.
 "Where does MT. Clarke stand on the war amendments? Does he believe in them or will he favor their repeal? Does he fa- vor the white supremacy plank lately adopted by the Maryland democratic state convention as it's poorly concealed threat to entirely suppress the colored vote? Is he in harmony with Senator Tillman who has boasted that whenever colored voters attempt to exercise the elective fran- chse in South Carolina, he will meet the attempt with a shotgun? If elected to the senate, will MT. Clarke join his colleague Fxor for his resolution to repeal the fifteenth amendment? Is Mir. Clark willing to ex- plain his position on these vital ques- tions?'
