LOOKED AFTER
A CONTRIBUTION OF ST
That Greatly Pleases the
Treasurer.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. 16.-Rosemount's 8
only political caller today was George
Foster Peabody of New York, the treas
urer of the Democratic National COM
mlttee. Mr.. Peabody came down from
his summer home on the banks of Lake
George, in response to an invitation
from the candidate. Mr. Peabody held
quite long conference with Judge
Parker, after which he boarded train
for New York. He said he intended to
hustle at the financial end of the can
vas, In order to make up for lost time.
1t is expected that the formal appeal
for money will be issued by the Ma
tional committee within few days.
Mr. Peabody told of the first contri-
button to the National campoign flfnd.
1t came from an Episcopal minister
one dollar. A letter accompanying the
donation said that the sender, fearing
he might not live to vote for Judge
Parker wished to lend his mite to the
ticket in the form of the largest green
back he could afford. "I'd rather have
million of such contributions" con-
| cluded Mr.. Peabody, than a great
many larger ones that we will receive" "
1t would not surprise Judge Parker
friends to see many of the Democratic
leaders at Rosemount before the end of
the week, sent for by the nomiuee to
explain why the work of organization
for the coming battle is proceeding so
| slowly.

Pythians

Louisville, KY, Aug. 16. With
10000 men in line, the biennial parade
of the uniform rank of Knights of
Pythias took place this afternoon. 1t
was viewed by $4,000 people, who
came from all surrounding states The
great pageant was unusually elatt
crate and passed without untowaro
incident.
The supreme lodge of Pythians be
gan its sessions today but had no i'm
portant topics under consideration.
Morning and night sessions will be
held and the most interesting discus
sions will come tomorrow. The Rath
bone Sisters and Pythian Sisterhood
held opening sessions which were de-
voted to the consideratisn of the con-
solidation of the two orders so as to
permit their entrance into full COM
munication with the Pythians. Con-
solidation is certain and will be ef-
fected tomorrow. The supreme lodge
probably will do away with compul-
sorry payments of benefits, although
opposition to the change exists.
Major General Carnahan will be re-
elected to the command OF the Unio
rank. Boston and Cincinnati have
withdrawn from the contest for the
next encampment, and the race lies
between Nashville and New Orleans
Both cities working hard with the

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. ia letter
from Michael Donnelly, president of the
Amalgamated Butchers association was
received and posted at labor head
quarters today. The letter says that
the strike breakers were leaving Chica-

as the packers were more than ever in
need of their former experienced work
men.
There was no change in the situation
here today, except that the packers re-

A PHOTOGRAPHER
set his camera and the members of
the crowd cleared the people back out
of sight in order that the picture
might be taken. Several views were
made and then the work of piling
the fuel around the men was begun.
What followed beggars description.
Frenzied cheers rent to air as the
mob, almost crazed with hatred for
the men at the stake, saw the cruel
flames drinking up their Ii blood
Just as the match was applied, one
of the crowd asked Cato again IL he
did not want to tell all the truth be.
fore he died
"Yes sir, I killed Mr.. and Mrs
Hodges" he replied.
"Who killed the children?" he was
asked.
Handy Bill" came the response as
the flames leaped upward. FurtheN
questioning was impossible in the
wild tumult. The spectacle was a
frightful one. AS the flames touched
Reeds naked oil soaked skin he
twisted his head around in an en-.
deavor to choke himself and avoid
the fearful torture. Only once did he
complain and then he said:
LORD HAVE MERCY"
Cato screamed in agony and begged
that he be shot. His heavy hair
which was oil soaked, was almost the
first thing that the flames fastened
on. He screamed again and again
with agony as the hempen rope be
came a coil of fire around his neck
while a thrill of horror ran through
the frames of the more timid of the
crowd. Before the flames had quench
ed Catos life the rope had been burn
ed in two and his head swung from
side to side as he endeavored to avoid
the tongues of flame. For only about
three minutes was he visible to the
crowd before the great pile Of fagots
made
A WALL OF FLAMES
which hid him from view. Reed was
the first to become unconscious and
was perhaps the first dead. Before
the flames had progressed very far III
his body, his head sank forward and
1t is believed that fire entered his
lungs and killed him.
AS Cato's head swung from side tc
side some of the more excited of the
crowd threw light wood knots at it
So soon as it was seen that the men
were dead, the crowd began to dis
perse. Many remained behind, how
ever, piling more fuel on until the
bodies were SO burned that nothing
but

selves by putting out tie fire wh'
had commenced to spread along the
dry streaks of pine needles to the
woods.
After the last members of the moi
had left the scene, hundreds of per
sons who had had no hand in the
awful business, went to the scene and
many remained until long after night

they could find. Conspicuous amons
this crowd were many small boys IL

ANCIENT BOXER
GOES TO CARPET
IN THIRD ROUND
George Mccarthy Fails to Per-
form as of YOre and Young
Opponent Has an Easy Time

A heavy weight fist artist, who might
have shone in bygone days, was trotted
out before the admiring throng at the
San Francisco Athletic Club last night
to do battle with youth of perhaps
half his years. The ancient gladiator
OF the roped arena dragged himself
around the ring in a painful manner
for three rounds. Then the youngster
executed a few good stiff punches and
the old fellow went to the carpet for
keeps.
His name is George Mccarthy, and
he came all the way from Woodland to
engage in the conflict. He was under
the wing of that good Samaritan, Bid
dy' Bishop, and ''Biddy'' quietly tipped
it about that Mac could do very well
with his mitts and was a game one.
He was pitted against Olin Sullivan,
a youth who gained fame on the fiat by
beating UP a stevedore once or twice.
Sullivan was good to his fatherly op-
punent .for two rounds and all the pair
did was to hug each other and occa-
sionally hand Referee Greggains a gen
third round with a rush and kept rush
ing dad about the ring till he finally
settled in an easy corner and said good
night.
"Shy' Ryan and Fred Craig, a dusky
scrapper, were the next in Importance
to the heavys. shy" won the decision
because he was exceedingly wise and
landed most of the few punches. He
showed that he is possessed of some
cleverness, but had a wholesome fear
of Mr.. Craig's wallop. Both men were
tired when the gong sounded
Mike Synfy, the Grecian athlete,
mixed it with kid" Parker, champion
of the newsboys' brigade. The lads put
up the fastest mill on the card. In
fact so close was the fight all the way
through that the judges disagreed and
Referee Greggains finally ordered an
extra round. Synfy was handed the
palm of victory after the additional
round had been fought.
He landed the cleaner punches in
that period and had Parker all but
gone. Parker rallied some toward the
end of the round and had Synfy 60
ing. All the way through the first
four rounds the boys mixed it viciously
and it looked like any ones fight. Both
were game and took a hard beating.
besides displaying much cleverness in
ducking swings.
Young Mcclure hit Billy Jensen so
hard in the first round that he was
doubled up and remained in this unioua
position for fully a minute Harry
McLoud brought his right in contact
with George Henry's face in the third
and the latter had to go to the carpet
for good. after being downed at least
a dozen times. Charles McChesnev
knocked out Charles Webber in three
rounds.

EUGENES LOSE
CHAMPIONSHIP
OF THE COAST
California BOwlers Vanquish
Team That Won HOnOrS From
Pin Hitters of the South

Big punches of coin, a championship
and other coveted possessions unex-
pectedly changed their headquarters
chile Eugene bowling team took to the
distant pines before DOC" McGrath's
California team.
From the first frame of game No. 1
there was nothing to it but the Cali
fornias. Splits and errors were in or
der from the Central Alley faction,
and it must be said that for cham
pionship bowling the play was decid-
edly on the wane.
Three hundred and fifteen pins is
the small margin by which the new
champs won out. Leap must think
up some good kind of an excuse for
last night, though he did we'll himself
He averaged 201 Ia for the three
games, but supported by 156 and 164
scores. he didn't have look in.
Lagarde was the bowling kid last
night and won all kinds of praise.
With a former championship individ-
ual record of 694 for three games, he
tumbled the pins last night for 1876.
McGrath and Pickler, who are both
particularly delighted over the vic
tory, bowled we'll themselves, averag-
ing ZOl Z-3 ana ZOO respectively.
Thorpe, the reliable man" from
the Central Alleys, fell down fiat. After
having established the sensational
record of 800 pins on the same alleys
some months ago, he came through
with a 1S5 high score last night
There's no denying the fact that some
thing was wrong last night. The
team couldn't seem to get together and
strikes were few and far between.
Birdsall bowled in the first game, but
after proving that the ball invariably
avoided the head pin he effected a
getaway and was replaced by Eacret,
who was a trifie worse.
Kelly, Russell and Sunbeam" Ber-
telson were conspicuous by their alb
sence. Diehl took Russell's place on
the score sheet. but failed to do so in
the games. The individual team aver
age of the Eugenes for the three
games was 1S1~5-15 and for the Cali
fornias 202 5-15.
The score follows.
