MORTON SAYS THAT

As Atrocious 20 Make II as 90 Be
Guilty of II.
Highlandtown, Md, Nov. 5.-secre-
tary of the Navy Morton addressed a
large Republican audience here to-
night.
After srraigning the Democratic
party for what he declared were its
paramount issues, free silver in 1896.
imperialism in 1900, and "the Repub-
lican candidate for President, Theo-
dore Roosevelt" in the present, secre-
tary Morton took up the Parker
charges against the President, say
ing:
Judge Parker has on several oc-
casions made most serious charges
not only against the Presidents intel
hgence, but against his integrity. To
be blunt and brief, he has charged
both the President and Mr. Cortel-
you with levyng blackmail upon the
corporations OF this country by at
empting TO extort from them campaign
contributions with the understanding
that by such means they may pur-
chase immunity from offenses al
ready committed or yet to be COM
mitted.
This is a most Infamous charge. 1t
is charge which we most Indignantly
and emphatically deny. There is not
in 1t one iota of truth. Without doubt
some of the large corporations have
made contributions TO the Republican
campaign. but so have others to the
Democratic campaign. / have not the
slightest doubt that i'm some cases
the same corporations may have con-
tributed to both parties. But Judge
Parker's statements that the chair
man of the Republican Committee was
selected for the purpose of, and has
succeeded I'm levying contributions up
on unwilling subscribers, or that he
has received contributions from large
corporations of any kind OF conditions
of immunity, are absolutely false.
do not know which is the most
atrocious--to be guilty Of such
charge or to make II and not be able
to substantiate IT,"
Criticising the Democrats for omit
ting all reference to the navy from
their platform, "at the suggestion Of
Senator Tillman for the very states
manlike reason given by him that the
navy had no votes" Secretary Morton
advocated the upbuildinR OF a navy
second only to that of Great Britain
in size and 10 that OF no nation In the
world in the point Of efficiency.
Il believe" said he. "in a navy so
formidable that II will preserve the
peace, and I believe in a navy so well
prepared al all times for war that
war will never come. My conception
Of the American navy can be stated IN
three words-Constructio instruction
and destruction"

Won't Predict as to New York.
New York state is in the balance
still on the presidency. and the Her

apparently strongly Democratic, and
the Democrats will get the governor

The Republican managers are claim

$4,000 and for Higgins by 10000. The
Democratic county estimates claim the
state for Parker by 11,OO0 and for Her

Democrats expect Parker to carry
New York city by 125,OOO plurality and
Herrick by $4,000.
The Democrats Of New Jersey are

From His Party Leaders That He VIII

BY r. M. Larner


Washington, ID. c., Nov. 5.-From
the best source of information obtain
able tonight. the political situation
may be sized up as uncertain.
Senator German, who is recognized
as good Democratic authority. told
me to-day that he regards the pros
poets of Democratic victory exceed
ingly hopeful.
Secretary John Hay, just after an in
terview with the President, said the
Republican managers have assured
President Roosevelt that his election
is now certain.
Just what effect President Roose-
velt's impulsive statements denying
Judge Parker's charges Of corruption
in connection with trusts ard Judge
Parker's expected reply will have upon
the wind-up of the campaign is prob
lematical.
Republicans are claiming that the
President has given Judge Parker the
lie direct, and it is now up to Judge
Parker, ito deliver the goods" or be
utterly discredited by all fair-minded
men.
Blanket Full of Holes.
On the other hand the Democrats in
sist that President Roosevelt has clev-
eriy evaded or lodged Judge PaFker's
direct charges by blanket denial, and
the blanket is full Of holes.
In the meantime the Democrats are
continuing their sggresy campaign
ing in the doubtful statfesr with encour-
aging results. To-day when President
Roosevelt was receiving numerous tele-
grams Of congratulation and approval
for his sensational challenge to Judge
Parker, distress calls were heard al
the White House, not only from In
diana and West Virginia, but also
from Illinois. The President was ad-
vised that there might be some mis-
takes IN the polls made in those three
states.
Tom Taggart telegraphed 10 a politi-
cal friend here to-day, from Indianapo-
lis, to this effect: indications are

BRIDE LORE.

1t is commonly supposed that the
casting OF a shoe after a bride Is one
way Of wishing her good luck. This is
not true The custom comes to US from
England and Scotland, where the na-
rents Of the bride cast after her a shoe
TO signify their giving up Of all right
90 their daughter. The English custom
was the outgrowth Of the Anglo-SaxOn
custom of presenting the bridegroom
with the brides shoe. The bridegroom
receiving the shoe would touch. the
bride upon the head with Il, showing his
authority and possession. This cere-
mony is doubtless the survival Of en-
ancient practice among the Israelites to
whom the casting OF a shoe over prop
erty signihed ownership. So instead OF
signifying good wishes the casting OF "A
shoe signifies a transference OF property

Girdles bid fair TO supersede belts in
the favor Of the majority Of womankind
but the modern woman must be careful
how she wears them. Incidentally, n
word about the building Of girdles The
word building is used advisedly, for a
girdle is not a thing to be thrown to-
gether from scraps OF silk and lace,
without a welI-reared foundation The
English call the girdle Il corsiet, and the
word certainly suggests a perfect fit.
The home dressmakeT who intends to
brighten her spring frocks by girdles of

fitted perfectly, and cut each foundation
from the model, bORing the girdle witt
