OF the magnates and multl-m1jllOn-
aires. The money thus far con-
tributed has been from the pockets
of men who are ardent Democrats
but who are not plutocrats by a
good deal. Sheehan and Taggart
have devoted their energies up to
the present time to the national
campaign, letting the Congression-
al campaign drift and wait devel-
opments. 1t is understood that
after arranging the proper lines
and bait for landing New York and
Indiana, the national committee
will tackle the Congressional
"doubtfuls" in vigorous fashion.
Prominent Democrats here are
discussing with some earnestness

nominate him for Governor of

cause his flying the track in such
an ostentatious manner is attrib-
uted by many to feeling on his
part that he has not had proper
consideration. That he should ac-
tually bolt and repudiate the ticket
after offering at st. Louis to cor
daily support it, is quite incon-
ceivable; but, while his candidacy
for Governor will probably not be
considered expedient, he has been
and is of immense service to the
party, and in case of its success
could probably take his pick of
the offices at its disposal. Sulking
in his tent would not at all become
a man of Mr.. Hearsts position and
record, and his advocacy of Wat
sons election would be farcical and
preposterous. Mr.. Hearst may be |
sometimes eccentric, but he is not
the man to play the fool with his
own interests.

an aged negress, Mary Almarolia,
died here near the Capitol. She
was the widow of an Italian, now
dead, and was years ago made the |.
custodian by some statesman in
Congress of two infants whose
parentage was kept a secret. The
is said to have been "a
young woman, prominent in Wash
ington society circles!" The ne
gress reported to the putative faith
er that the elder of the two boys
had died, and received from him
money for the expense of burial.
She bought large doll, procured
a coffin, and buried the suppositi-
tious infant in a local cemetery.
But she kept the child alive, edu-
Gated him, and told him of his ori-
gin and now at her death she leaves
TO him a mass of papers in local

Ben Bennett Brought Back.

Sergeant G. G. Roberts arrived
from Savannah last night with
Ben Bennett, the Hampton man
who was secured on extradition
papers charging him with having
taken the life of his wife. Ben
nett was placed in the penitentlary
until his case comes mp at the next
term of court.
Gov. Hayward yesterday held a
difference with MIR. James E.
Davis, solicitor of the second cir
cult, in regard to the case of Ben
Bennett. Mr.. Davis will prose-
cute the prisoner for the killing
OF his wife. In case the prisoner
should be acquitted, therc will be
complicati ms. Bennett was ar
Tested on Georgia soil, and Mr..
Davis thinks that the defence may
be set up that he was brough,
to this State by force and that
therefore he is not in arrest for
violation of his parole. However,
the governor of Georgia granted
his extradition on both charges,
violation of parole and the killing
Of his wife. e.-The State.
