There was once a far lard in which

CLEAN POLITICS AND
JUDGE PARkER's LEE.

When He Was Cog In Hli

WASHINGTON, OcE. Ex-senator
p. c. Knox who was until recently at
toruey general under President Roose-
Welt. last night issued 4 statement in
answer to Mr. Par!zer's speech on
trusts and cx-President Cieveiand's
remarks ON the same tonic. portion
OF which follows:
Judge Parker, in his speech on
Monday also said:
MANY years have passed since my

the mean tine a startling change has
taken place in the method of conduct
ing campaigns: a change cot for the
better, bat for the worse; change
that has introduced debasins anG cor
rupt methods which threaten the in
tegrity of our government"
1t is astounding that Judge Parker
should be willing TIC challenge the
comparison which this statement in
evitably calls out. When JrdGa Par
ller last actively participated IN poll
tics off the bench he was the chttir-
man OF the New York state Demo-

LIFE GOES OUT
His Prolonged Illness Ends
..... - in a Quiet
.- . Death.
THE End CAME PEACEFULLY
Family Gather at Bedside Of Dying
Statesman-End Game After Long,
Fruitless Attempt to Restore Rap
idly Failing Strength.

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 3o.-Geo.
Frisbie Hoar, senior United States
senator from Massachusetts,, died at
his home in this city at 1875 O'Clock
this morning.
The attending physician despaired
of the senator's life six weeks ago,
but such was the vitality exhibited
by their distinguished patient that
even they were surprised and the pub
lie was at times led to cherish faith
In an ultimate recovery.
On Sunday last, however, all hope
was abandoned after a last unsuccess-
full attempt to administer medicine
and nourishment. Brief lucid inter
walls were followed by longer dura-
tons OF Inconsistencies until Tues
day morning, when the venerable
statesman sank into a state or uncon'
seriousness from which all efforts to
arouse HIM were fruitless.
End Peaceful.
During the last hours there was not
movement OF the body and only
scarcely perceptible pulse evidenced
the hnal struggle.
There were present at the bedside
when death came, the senator son,
General ROckw6od Hoar, his daughter,
Mary Hoar, and DIR. Warren II. Gil
man, who for weeks had been In al
Nest constant attendance upon the
senator.
Intelligence OF Senator Hoar's death
was EVst communicated by telephone
thu raSidannn IN hu m
Gilman. Immediately after a prear-
RANGED signal was tcnnsmitte on the
lire alarm system aAt the long dreai.
Ell :clngs were conveyed to the peo-
pie Gf The 'ty Ot the t,iiini, OF church
bells.
Arrangements were made to notify
the public in this manner when the
physician attending him decided that
the venerable legislator was on his
death bed.
Senator Hoar had been in i'll health
since last winter and even when at
tending the session OF the senote he
was Obliged to exercise extreme care
lest his eXertions should overcome
him. He had suffered from malaria
at times while in Washington, and he
occasionally remarked to his friends
that this trouble was his grHatesr Gu
envy at the capital. His physicians
advised him last winter to keep as
quiet as possible, to refrain iron! max
ing long speeches, and not to attend
public functions.
Hoar's Funeral Monday.
Worcester, Mass, Sept 3O.-The
funeral of the late Senator George F.
Hoar, who died last night, will be held
Monday from the church of the Unity,
and Reverend Edward Everett Hale,
chaplain of the United States senate,
will be asked to offlciate.
The body will lie in state probably
in the city hall, during Monday. The
interment will be made in Sleepy Hol-
low cemetery, Concord, Tuesday
morning.

Russians already apparently are at

refers to the conference o. the Insti-

at Edinburgh yesterday, and to tho
proposal from the United states to
re-assemble The Hauge conference

law is a polite myth, under cover OF

opponents rights and Feelings, and
says there is not a tenet in the so
called code which has not been brok-

some nation able to defy it, The only
nations ever appealing to the interna-

Lexington, KY, Oct. 2.-Beginning
at midnight last night, every form of
industry in Lexington must observe
the Sunday closing law. The board of
police commissioners adopted resolu-
tions notifying the police and detec-
tives that they would be discharged
if any person was allowed to violate
the law. The chief of police notified
the. newspapers that their employees
will be arrested at midnight. The
daily papers will run as usual. The
employees will submit to arrest, Sc
cure bail, and continue their work,
giving bail every fifteen minutes, if
necessary. Livery stables, milk wa
CONS, Ice wagonss, groceries, barber
shops, saloons and all kinds of mar
kets were notified to close under pen
atty of arrest Nearly all have an
nounced their intention of fighting the
law. The Law and Order league de-
manded the enforcement of the law,
and appealed to the grand jury, who
voted indictments against Mayor
Combs, Chief Regain and the police
commissioners. The indictments are
held up, pending compliance with the
demands of the grand Jury.
