SKYLARKING PAINTER KILLED.
Companion Seriously Hurt by FAN From
High ScaHO

As the result OF some skylarking by two
on the eighth floor OF the Cambridge Court
apartment hotel at l42 West Forty-ninth
street yesterday afternoon, one Of them
was instantly killed and the other was 80
badly injured that he will probably die.
The two, Harry Gravosky, 80 years old,
OF 10 East l34th street, and Joseph Morris
Of IS Willard street, had been painting the
upper floors OF the building in the court,
and had almost finished their days work
According to several women who live in the
apartments, and who had been watching
the two men, Gravosky took brush full Of
paint and threw it at bis partner. Then
Morris dipped into his pail and splashed
Gravosky.
The latter made another dab for Morris
and the scaffold swung out from the edge
OF the building. Gravosky tried to save
himself, lost his footing and tumbled of.
When the scaffold swayed back Morris was
thrown after him.
The two had been painting directly over
the restaurant in the apartments. The
women who had been watching them
screamed, and when the two men struck
on the edge Of the skylight over the res
taurant there was oommotion among the
diners. Neither, however, went through
into the dining room
Policeman Haag Of the West Forty
seventh street station summoned an am
bulance from Roosevelt Hospital, but
Gravosky was dead. Morris had q frao-
tured skull and internal injuries, and the
doctors say he will die.

OF a Judges chambers. He Is not gagged
and bound and muzzled. He has been In
the limelight Of public knowledge for twen-
ty-fve years as man Of peace and as a
man OF war.
He never uttered a sentiment that did
not breathe the highest aspirations OF
American life, No institution is unsafe
in his hands but bad institution. No
man need fear him but a bad man. The
Democrats are not afraid that Roosevelt
will shatter the Constitution. They are
afraid he will.enforoe it. That is the trouble
there.
we go into this contest handicapped
by the fact that Isl votes in the electoral
college have been signed, sealed and de-
livered already to the Democratic party
because the Constitution has been shat
tered south OF Mason and Dix on's line.
When We protest against these things
We are told that the matter Is a social evil
and that it should be left to the South to
settle. Yet is 1t not disgrace that man
like John Sharp Williams can be elected
to Congress with 500 votes while 1t requires
10000 to put a man in the House Of Repre-
sentatives from the State Of New York?
No mans vote is safe In this country
unless the vote Of the weakest man is safe.
Some day that principle will have to be
maintained vigorously
Now as to your friend, the senior Sem
ator. What man in the United States
does not know OF the great work that he
has done? Organization, the kind Of Or
ganization that brings merited victories,
Is not accomplished without somebody's
hearts blood going into it, without some
body giving the best Of his life to it, Who
has given more than Thomas G. Platt3
My friends. he is man."
Mr.. Fassett WAS just closing his speech
when a sharp eyed youngster who had
been posted on the road to the Erie Rail
road station cried out in shril voice
which was heard all over Highland Mills:
Here comes Chaunoeyl"
The crowd on the stand stood up and
gave three cheers for the junior Senator
Senator Depew was accompanied by Mrs.
Depew. They were escorted to seats
beside Senator and Mrs. Platt. Senator
Depew was introduced at once. He spoke
for thirty minutes, and there was not a
minute in that time when Highland Mills
folks were not roaring with laughter
When Senator Depew closed 500 calls
went up for Senator Plat to say few
words. He rose and talked for perhaps
three minutes, thanking his fellow towns
men warmly for their reception

Special Cdole Dispatches 10 IHE sun.
DOVER, Sept. 24.-An operation was per-
formed this evening on Lady Curzon
formerly Miss Mary Letter OF Chicago. 1t
was successful, but her condition still is
critical.
Prof. Cheyne performed the operation,
which was for peritonitis 1t was necessi-
tated by the dangerous turn in the patients
condition this morning. The doctors are
hopeful Of the result. A bulletin issued
this evening announces that Lady Curzon,
who bore the operation with great courage,
has rallied but her condition necessarily
causes grave anxiety.
SIMLA, Sept. 24.-The natives through
out India are sympathizing with Viceroy
Curzon. The Mohammedans here prayed
three times yesterday for the recovery of
Lady Curzon
LADY CURzoN's MOTHER AND SISTER SAIL.
Mrs. l.. u. Letter Lady Crrzon's mother,
sailed yesterday for Dover aboard the Red
Star liner vaderland after vainly trying
to get the Cunard Line to hold the six day
mail carrying packet Lucania five hours.
The Vaderland is a nine day ship, but
there is no other liner sailing after her
this week that will be ON the other ride
sooner.
Mrs Letter was accompanied by her
daughter Mamie, two French maids and a
valet. They arrived at the Grand Central
Station on the Twentieth Century Limited
from Chicago at $50 yesterday morning,
and had ample time to reach the Red Star
dock before the hour the Vaderland was
scheduled to sail. They had only dozen
suit cases. as they had not time to pack
after receiving W ord of the critical condition
of Lady Curzon. Their heavier baggage
will follow them. They left Denver on a
special train to Chicago, and there took the
limited. Mrs Letter said that she had re-
ceived despatch from her son Joseph on
the train which told her that he had cable
gram from London containing the reassur-
ing news that Lady Curzon was better.
Mrs. Letter and her daughter are to arrive
at Dover one week from tomorrow.
