Among the letters received by Judge
Parker today was this:
You must allow me to express my
great satisfaction that you are to be
the candidate of the Democratic party
for the presidential office in the COM
ing national election. That both the
party and the country cannot be too
emphatically congratulated is certain.
Whether you can be fairly congratu-
lated personally, 1 beg leave to doubt.
Your present position is SO exalted
and SO manifestly congenial to your
tastes and is filled with such distinc-
ton that leaving it for politics cannot
Justly be imputed to anything except
a patriotic sense of duty. That fact
will be appreciated by the intelligent
voters of the country and cannot but
enhance your claim to their conf
dence and support.
believing your candidacy, auspi-
ciously begun by most striking proof
of fidelity to conviction, will be identi-
fed with the present and future well
fare of the republic and strongly wish
ing and hoping for it's complete sue
cess, am sincerely yours
-.Richard Olney.''
Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, sent Judge
Parker a lot of clippings from his pa
per, with a letter in which he con-
graduated the judge and concluded:
Il shall go into the campaign before
us with greater confidence of victory
than I have ever had before; not even
excepting the campaign of 1876"
There was also a congratulatory
letter from Carl Schurz. A new sort
of letters at hand today were those of
parents who have named their newly
born children Alton or Parker = or

Disease Has Caused 1876 Deaths in It
Weeks in New York

Disease Has Caused 1876 Deaths in I6
Weeks in New York.
An alarming increase in the death rate
from cerebro-spinal meningitis has caus-
ed concern in the New York department
of health. Physicians in all parts Of the
city are combating the disease and urg-
ing their patients TO use scrupulous care
in the diet and general health of their
children. During ten weeks last year
there were IS deaths from the malady.
In the same period this year the board
of health has recorded the deaths of 1876
persons. Each week the percentage has
steadily increased, running from seven
deaths on March II to 81 ten weeks
later. The outbreak is tke worst since
1873.
While it is more common with infants
it is readily communicated to adults; in
deed, the figures show that many persons
over 10 years of age have succumbei to
the fever. When attacked by cerebro-
spinal meningitis child has little chance
for its life. There are many cases on
record where children and adults have
survived. but in nearly every instance
the victim has been left with some per-
manent affiiction, blindness, deafness
and paralysis being the more common
impediments which the dread disease has
left behind

ONE WEEK OF WAR.
LITTLE NEWS HAS LATELY COME
FROM THE FAR EAST.
Only Events Recorded During Week
Arc Unimportant Skirmishes His
tory, in the War Dispatches, Has
Given Place to Speculation.

During the last week there was lit
tie news from the far East, and in the
war columns of the newspapers history
gave way to speculation. The only
events recorded were several skirm-
ishes between the outposts Of Kurokfs
army. which is concentrated at Feng-
wangcheng, and Cossacks thrown forth
ten pass, midway between Fengwang-
cheng and Liaoyang. The skirmishes
were intended only to develop the po-
sitloE of the enemy, and signify moth
ing, as is evident from the small num-
Der Of casualties resulting from them.
Other skirmishes occurred between
Cossacks and the rear guard Of Gen.
Oku's army at Vangenfuchu, about
forty miles north of Kinchou on the
railroad.
Later news of the storming of Kin
chou and Nanshan hill shows that the
Japanese lost 1900 men in that sue
cess. To lose 4.3OO men in the taking
Of an outpost may seem at first to be
magnificent, though not war. How
ever, the taking of the hill seems to
have given the Japanese clear road
to the gates of Port Arthur, and to
have enabled them to take Dalny end
its fine harbor without struggle. In
view of these later events, the taking
Of Nanshan hill may turn out, after all,
to have been as wise as it was cour-
ageous.
- The two questions which are most
thoroughly agitating the prophets at
present concern the Russian fleet in
Pert Arthur and Kuropatkin's report
cd attempt to raise a siege of that
town.
Ii the Japs seem about to storm the
line to Port Arthur will the Russian
feet make run for it? The result of
this run would be the destruction of
the Russians. but also the severe Grip

EDWARD L. VENT. with whom he was
not on good terms. The body was found
by boy who was searching for stray
COW. The front teeth were missing. His
revolver, from which three shots had
been fired, and his eyeglasses were dis
covered twenty feet from the body.
What are supposed to be bullet holes
were found in the coat and vest. There
was a bullet wound above the heart,
which was probably the cause of death.
The vast property on which the scene
of the tragedy is laid covers several
counties and extends in part over the
borders of four States-Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. 1t
is wild, mountainous land, rich in unde-
veloped coal and other minerals. Its
mountain strongholds are peopled with
squatters, who have lived there for gen.
erations and who have furnished the
men who have shed so much blood in the
Hat6eld-McCoy feuds. This tract is
owned by the Wentz family, and the
sons few years ago organized a COM
pany to develop the property. They
built mansion on the scene and went
there from Philadelphia to live.
Early last October a big illicit dis
tillery in the neighborhood was broken
up. One Of the revenue officers was
killed and the leader Of the moonshiners
mortally wounded. The responsibility
for the whole affair was placed upon the
shoulders Of Edward Wentz by the
moOnshiners. He was warned by friends
that his life was in imminent danger.
Oct. IA last he started out for a ride
on horseback, and that was the last
seen of him until his body was found
recently. The whole country roundabout
was thoroughly searched, and the spot
where the body was found was gone
over again and again. Rewards aggre-
eating 100000 were offered for infor-
nation concerning him.

By arranging in advance, a pleasant
day. BY good luck, this may include
breakfast. OF course a breakfast at
25 cents will not be very elaborate. But
it should consist of good coffee, good
rolls and fruit.
To save time and second admission
ticket, one should count on eating lunch
con ard dinner inside the grounds. The
gates are open from 6 a. m. to midnight.
Prices inside the grounds are high.
or course, one might live on a ham
sandwich and a cup of coffee, but the
exertion of walking around the immense
extent of grounds makes ones appetite
ravenous Sandwiches cost 10 cents each
and coffee 10 cents per cup, and neither
Is very large.
But for 15 cents one may obtain
simple meal, including n roast, coffee
and small dessert. An elaborate din
ner in the high-grade restaurants will
cost you Us much as you wish to spend.
By remaining six days. you can de-
vote one-half day to each main build
ing. Your evenings you may spend on
the Pike, witnessing the illuminations
or inspecting the State buildings.
This is the minimum one should ex-
pect to spend. There will be many
things to tempt you to exceed the limit,
and 1t will require great strength of
will to resist them. This, however, is
a fair basis upon which one can esti-
mate what it will cost to see the fair.
By writing to the bureau of informa-
ton, Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
people can arrange for rooms or learn
how It can be done.

Florence Crittenton Homes Concrete

Because he so loved his daughter,
who died at the age of 8 years long
ago. Charles N Crittenton, who has
been holding evangelistic services in
Chicago, has given 81 years constant
work and fortune of more than ST.

work in his child's name.

cities that hold out a welcome to way

has given stability to a movement
which has resulted in the reclamation
OF tens Of thousanCs of these unfortu-
mates.
Back Of the story Of his constant,
earnest work and his self sacrifice is
the stcry Of the building of his for

result of the dogged determination Of
q green country boy who from his
earliest childhood had an ambition to
be rich.
When his daughter, Florence, was
born, in 1877, Charles Crittenton was
q wealthy man.
In October, 1882, the illness of Flor
ence Crittenton took this man away
from his fortune-building for the first
time since he entered New York as
drug clerk. That illness was destined
to take him away for all time, for
within few days the child died.
The day after the burial of the
daughter Charles N. Crittenton took
an oath to do some worldwide work
in his dead child's name. In April,
1888, the first Florence Crittonton

Denver and Rio Grande passenger
train 5, west bound from Denver, was
held up Tuesday night by five masked
men three miles west of Parachute,
small fruit station between Grand
Junction and Glenwood Springs. One
sealed bag containing specie was taken
from the express safe, which was
dynamited. The express car was
wrecked, but the robbers were forced
to take to the mountains before they
could gather up the valuables in the
car.
When the train reached point three
miles west Of Parachute two masked
men crawled over the tender Of the
engine. They placed six-shooters to
the head Of Engineer Allison and his
fireman and demanded that the train
be stopped. Three men were waiting
on the tender, and as the train stop
ped they ran back and uncoupled the
express and baggage cars. These cars,
with the engine, were run two miles
west.
Members Of the train crew were
ordered to remain with the passenger
coaches under threat of being shot.
When the point selected for the dyna-
hitting Of the express car was reached
the engineer and fireman were orderd
down. One Of the robbers covered
them with two revolvers while the re-
nlainder Of the gang went to the ex-
press car. Messenger D. NJ. Shea re-
fused to open the car and piled the
baggage in front of the door. The rob-
bers placed stick of dynamite at the
side door and it was blown away
and half dozen trunks piled up
against it were demolished.
The large iron combination safe was
the only one in the car. The robbers
showed that they were familiar with
conditions on the road, for they did
not even ask the messenger to open
the safe. This safe can be opened
only in Denver or Salt Lake City. A
stick Of dynamite was placed against
the lock of the safe. At this point
Brakeman Shellenbarger, who had
been ordered to remain with the pas
senger coaches, two miles behind, came
running up the track carrying Ian
tern. One of the robbers shot at him.
He was wounded in the leg.
When the robbers saw the train crew
coming they fed to the mountains.
One of them, as he jumped from the
express car, seized one sealed bag
which had been blown out of the safe.
This is the only plumber which was
taken.
The scene of the robbery is only GOO
yards from the Grand river, and it is
believed the robbers had boat hid
den in the Grand and used this to
cross the river. destroying it after they
had crossed.
