PARKER HAD LITTLE
TO DO WITH POLITICS.
His Life Was UntrnmmeIed by That
Pursuit at ROsemOunt.

His Life Was UntrnmmeIed by That
Pursuit at ROsemOunt.
Esopus, N. Y, July 1S.-Politics
played small part in Judge Parker's
life to-day. The departure for New
York of John w. Kern and of William
F. Sheehan left the Judge alone. The
telephone at Rosemount was burned
out during the night and telephone
communication with the Kingston ex-
change was impossible during the fore
noon.
Judge Parker ACCOMPANIED Mr.
Kern to the wharf when the latter
went away and after the boat was in
midstream, took his morning plunge
into the river. Passengers on the boat
had seen him on the wharf when the
boat landed and crowded to the rails
to watch him until the wharf was
hidden from view.
No mails are received at Esopus on
Sunday and consequently Judge
Parker's mail was larger to-day than
1t has been since his nomination. The
Judge and his assistants were kept
busy the entire morning in answer
ing letters.
Among the kilograms received was
one from Champ Clark, permanent
chairman of the st. Louis convention,
who sent his congratulations to Judge
Parker
Collectors of autographs have been
persistent in their requests and their
number is increasing daily
In addition to his correspondence,
Judge Parker's court work kept him
busy to-day. His opinions in court
of appeals cases will be completed as
soon as possible.
Judge Parker's hay crop has been
damaged by the frequent rains.
Suggestions of the political confer
ence in New York city appeared in the
unusual activity of the Judges tele-
phone early in the afternoon, but moth
ing could be learned as to whom he
talked with or the subject of the con-
versations.
Judge Parker declined to say any,
thing about the published story that he
had invited Charles F. Murphy leader
of Tammany Hall, to come to Rose
mount, and that the latter had declin-
ed. There is good reason, however, to
regard the story as devoid of fact.
1t is well understood here that Judge
Parker, Mr.. Sheehan and their friends
have no wish to affront Mr.. Murphy in
any way. 1t is known that Tammany
is to have much more than nominal
consideration, but there is no reason to
suppose that any direct overtures have
as vet gone forth from Rosemount.
Action in a number Of matters awaits
the results of to-night's conference in
New York and it is likely that direct
communication with Mr.. Murphy is
one of them.
The headquarters of the newspaper
correspondents will be opened shortly
in the lodge at Rosemount.

HEAD OF A GREAT HOCDITAI
III Az STATE AAOOI 4 AL
Uses Pe-ru-na in His Own Family AS
Catarrhal Tonic.

DR.. ]. F. EnsOr, Postmaster of Co
lum bia, ). G., late superintendent and
Physician in charge of State Insane
Asylum at Columbia, S c.. writes:
after using your Pcruna myself for
short period and my family having
used and are now using the same
with good results and upon the infOr-
nation of others who have been bene-
fitted by il as a cure for Catarrh and
an inViSoratinS tonic, can cheePfully
recommend il to all persons requiring

EnSoP.
Hon c. w Butts ex-Member of
Congress from North Dakota, in let
ter from Washington. D. c.. says:
That Peruna is not only a vigorous,
as well as an effective tonic. but also a
cure of catarrh, is beyond controversy.
1t is already established by its use by
the thousands who have been benefited
by ii. l cannot too highly express my
appreciation of its excellence. &C. w.
Butts
Dr. r. Robbins, Muskogee. I. r..
writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine I know
of for coughs and to strengthen a
weak stomach and to give appetite.
Beside prescribing it for catarrh. l
have ordered it for weak and debifi-
tated people. and have not had a pa
tent but said it helped him. 1t is an
excellent medicine and it fits so many
cases.
Il have a large practice. and have
n chance to prescribe your Peruna. 1
hope you may live long to do good to
the sick and suffering"
Only the weak need a tonic. People
are never weak except from some
good cause. One of the obscure causes
of weakness and the one oftenest over
looked is catarrh.
Catarrh infiames the mucous mem
brane and causes the blood plasma to
escape through the mucous membrane
in :he form of mucus. This discharge
OF mucus is the same as the loss of
blood. IT produces weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and pre-
vents the discharge of mucous. This
is why Peruna is called a tonic. Pc

TURNED THE HOSE UPON
SCARED PASSENGERS.
The Only Way They Could Be
Brought 10 Reason.

The Only Way They Could Be
Brought 10 Reason.
Chicago. July 1S.-Lack of the usual
amount of water ballast and an ex-
ceptionally large crowd of passen-
gers on the steamer Eastland COM
bined to cause much uneasiness on
the return trip from South Haven last
night. When the homeward voyage
was begun late in the afternoon, all
the passengers tried to find seats on
the shady side of the boat This
caused the steamer to list heavily to
starboard. Members of the crew has
tened to close the lower portfolios,
while many women secured life pre-
servers and crowded to the steamers
rail. This caused the boat to settle
farther to starboard, and some of the
passengers became thoroughly alarm
ed.
The crew was at once mustered by
the officers and an attempt was made
to reason with the frightened men and
women.
The passengers refused to obey or
ders and finally i'm order to drive them
away from the rail- the fire hose was
used. 1t proved effective and the
crowd went to the lower deck.
The women were persuaded into the
smoking room of the cabin and were
treasured by the officers. while the
men were talked to outside by other
members of the crew.
The ship held to it's course, despite
the petitions of the passengers to turn
around. and finally reached Chicago.
Many of the women insisted on wear
ing life preservers until the vessel
reached it's dock.

ask the packers if, in their judgment,
it would not be better to concede the
one point in contention, the taking
the strike The refusal of the packers
to discharge the men they have EN-
ployed since the commencement of the
strike, and to give their places to the
strikers, caused the breaking off of
previous conferences.
The communication to the packers
will also suggest that it is the belief
of the strikers that they are, as old
employees, deserving of this considera-
ton. If this offer of the union is re-
jected by the packers, Mr.. Donnelly de-
clared tonight, the allied trades at the
stock yards, numbering in all about
$4,000 men, viii be called out to-mor-
row in an effort to bring the packers to
terms.
Joseph Morton Of the Stationary
Firemen's Union, called on the packers
this afternoon and warned them that
unless there was a speedy settlement
of the strike, his men would be COM
PEELED to quit work. While no definite
answer was given to Mr.. Morton by the
packers, he was received by them in
such a friendly manner that he left the
conference with the belief that there
was still strong probability of peace.
The determination of Mr.. Donnelly
once more to open negotiations with
the packers was the result of the man.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.

IN attendance. His most significant
statement was in relation to the unit
ing OF all interests. The gathering of
SO many strong men representing fac
tons which had not always pulled to-
gether, he said was indicative of a
strong campaign.
The meeting gave a number of those
present the first opportunity they have
had of congratulating Mr.. Davis since
MS nomination at ST. Louis. and the
reception accorded him was hearty.
The discussion of prospects in the
coming campaign was general in char
acter The opinion was expressed by
several that Western Democrats would
give earnest support to the ticket and
that no fear of fractional opposition
need by entertained.
NO Factions in New York.
Speaking of the report that it would
be necessary to give the nomination for
the governorship to New York city in
order to bring the McCarren and Muir
ply forces together, August Belmont
said:
There is absolutely nothing to it.
Victor Bowling was present at the con-
ference, representing Tammany, and
no mention was made of the situation
in New York, so far as differences be-
tween alleged factions of the party is
concerned There are no factions in
the Democratic party in this state, and
we expect to work together for sue

Senator Bailey of Texas, who has
been in the city several days, did not
attend the conference, although he met
with several individual members of the
conference during the day. He de-
clared the chances of party success
were better than ever before.
1t is expected many prominent Dem
ocrats will go to Esopus this week in
an effort to enlist the aid of Judge
Parker to the support of various aspi-
rants for the national craftsmanship
That any one will be successful in this
is asserted to be very doubtful.
