ORANGE. y. J.. May 20.-On a trip,
much OF it afOot. in which they have
faced many dangers, two dusty and
haggard persons have arrived In Orange.
The travellers are Mr.. and Mrs. Otto
Sperber. representing French and Ger
man press associations.
They made a trip through South
America from Buenos Ayres to the
United States for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the commercial possibilities Of
South America. They are staying with
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Preusse. Of 40,
Scotland Street, Orange.
Arrayed in Boomers.
Mrs. Sperber has caused a mild sensa-
ton here by appearing on the streets
arrayed in n pair of yOsuminous khaki
boomers. built I'm conformity with her
husbands breeches Of similar material.
Mrs Sperber's boomers are striking 20
the eyes of the Jersey misses. who dare
wear nothing more glaring than the
rainy daisy skirt.
But the boomers do not inspire envy.
They were not built for beauty. Mrs
sperber says. but they have seen her
safely through the South American for
ests and the wilds OF San Antonio, Tex,
and Chicago.
OlOucU II chicago.
She says the s5vases OF Ecuador and
Peru treated the boomers with defer
ence. but she was arrested for wearing
them IN San Antonio. and was stoned
IN Chicago. Sperber speaks English
imperfectly. but his wife, who is a vi
vacious French woman, manages the
conversation for both.
The travellers left Buenos Ayres IN Oc-
tober. 1901. and made the greater part
OF their trip through the Argentine Re
public on the railroad. On passing into
Peru they left not only railroads. but
roads Of any kind. behind them. and
from that time forth they tramped OF
rode on the backs Of the sure-foOted IL
tie South American d0nkeys- Every
where she went Mrs Sperber's boomers
made profound impression.
Treated With Respect.
She says they were treated with a re-
spect, even Veneraton. that was not
accorded when she crossed the line into
the United States. Stiu the boomers
didn't find favor in little town I'm the
interior of Peru.
SpeTber learned his wife was believed
BY the natives 10 be a witch who had
come 20 spread a pestllence among them.
Elaborate preparations were being made
TO burn her at the stake The Sperbers
sot away before the preparations were

CARE OF SILVER ORNAMENTS.

Silver ornaments should never be kept
in wadding. which only tends to tarnish
them Wrap each article up in tissue
paper. ard any tarnish is removed by
damping a piece of tissue and rubbing
the furnished part. drying II with a
clean piece OF tissue II is also effective
in cleaning gold jewelry.

POLITICAL EQUALITY or WOMEN.

Lady Francis Cook, the wife of O
wealthy Englishman, has returned to
America, her former home. to start a
campaign for female suffrage. She
promises 10 use ner wealth to organize
q new party which will.fsvor giving the
fair sex the right to vote and she pre-
diets that one of the'presidential tick
cts of 1908 viii contain women names.
She is to appeal to President Roosevelt
and viii urge him to free the women
as President Lincoln freed the elaves,
thus placing women in the rightful po-
sition in the state, not in words but in
reality. Plenty of money will be used.
Business like methods and mp to-date
measures are to be put in force. Lady
Cook intends to start political clubs in
every large city, town aud hamlet of
this broad country. Halls will be rent
ed and rooms will be equipped with all
requisites for campaign headquarters
She has already selected good speakers
and practical workers for every state
in the union This organization is GO
ing to be thorough and effective and it
is going straight to the mark-political
equality of women
There is no doubt reason in Lady
Cooks arguments. The day is fast
coming when the noble woman of
America will not be denied the right
even the ignorant foreigner enjoys, that
of every free born American, the bal
lot. Who is the first Bellefontaine lady
to speak for place on the ticket9

Drowned.
Boat Driven on the
Rocks
DURING GALE
4 ~ -
And Hugh Seas
Broke Over 1t.
The Nearest Life Saving Sta
ton Was 20 Miles Away and
Could Render No Service.

Woods Hole. Mass. Nov. 1.-THE
two-masted schooner Earcularius.
Capt Mason. of Rockland. Me-. went
ashore in the severe northeast gale
shortly before dark last night. about
three quarters of a mile west Of Tar
paulin Cove. on the island of Maui
shen- At sunset the seas were break
ing over the craft, masthead high.
Keeper Carson, of the Tarpaulin
Cove lighthouse, and a man named
Robinson saw the schooner when she
struck. II was Just before dark and
a terrific gale was blowing. The
schooner was coming through Vine
yard Sound from the eastward and
was proceeding under her foresail, the
gale being too fierce to permit more
canvas being carried The schooner
tackled and tried to work into the
cove for an anchorage, but the wind
bore her of. and as she swung away
she struck with a crash upon a ledge
OF rock not more that 100 yards from
the lighthouse.
Carson and Robinson were unable
to render any assistance to the men
on board of the schooner. The crew
numbered four men and all were
plainly seen when the vessel struck,
but darkness set in almost immedi-
ately and nothing more was seen Of
the men or the vessel.
The nearest life saving station on
the north side of Vineyard Sound is
at Cuttyhunk, 20 miles from Tarpaulin
Cove. On the south side of the sound
there is a life saving station at Gay
Head, but that is too far away to be
of any service. Keeper Carson had
no boat that could be launched, and
besides the seas were so high that
nothing but a surf boat could possibly
escape almost instant destruction. No
lights were shown from the schooner
after she struck and no answer was
given to the frequent hailings Of Car
son and Robinson.
A careful watch has been maintain
ed since the schooner struck, in the
hope Of rescuing any sailors that
might be swept ashore. According to
Keeper Carson 1t would mean certain
| death for the men on board the vessel
| to attempt to reach the shore In a
| small boat
At 9 o'clock last night 1t was feared
that all on board had perished. The
seas were breaking over the craft and
| 1t was not believed that she would
hold together until daylight. She
struck in a particularly exposed posi-.
ton and no vessel could be expected
| to stand the terrible pounding on the
| jagged rocks to which she was sub.

WAS DUE TO TWO THINGS.

Mr.. Watson, Populist Candidate for
President, Gives Out a Statement
Regarding Last Weeks Political
Landslide.
New York, Nov. 14.-Thomas E.
Watson yesterday gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"Mr. Roosevelt's overwhelming ma
jority was not SO much due to the fact
that our people believe in class legis-
lation and reign Of special privileges.
1t was not by any means an endorse
ment Of corporation tyranny, the
greed of trusts, or the methods Of
combined capital. Mr.. Roosevelt's
majority over Mr.. Parker was due
manly to two things. One was the
immense personal popularity Of Mr..
unpopularity Of Mr.. Cleveland's sec
ond administration.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Parker he
became 30 completely identified with
the marauders who plundered the
government during Mr.. Cleveland's s
second administration that he had to
bear all the odium which they had in
Cured. The people have never had a
chance to show just what they
thought OF that second administra-
ton. Mr.. Bryan's two campaigns did
not give them the opportunity. It was
only when the old Cleveland combina-
tion secured the defeat Of Bryan and
Hearst and dictated the nomination OF
Parker that the masses got the op-
portunity to vent upon a national can
didate the intense hatred which they
had been nursing for years against
such men as Olney. Belmont, Carlisle
and Cleveland himself"
