Facts About Teas.

Here are few facts in connection with the different teas The teas of Ceylon and India and many Japanese teas, when cold, become sirpy and cloud over as if milk had been poured into the cups. China tea never clouds. After the teas of the frst-named class have stood some length of time, say about an hour, a ring forms on the in- side of the cup at the top of the liquid That is the result of tannin, bitter astringent. which is rarely found in real China tea.

 Mission to Shah of Persia.
 BUFFALO, Nov. T.-The assassina- tion of Dr. Joseph P. Cochran, medical missionary for Westminster church of this city, at Uramia, Persia, is feared. The Rev. Benjamin Labaree was killed there last year by Sayid and some Kurdish accomplices. It later devel- oped that Mir Labaree was mistaken for Dr. Cochran.
 The Rev. Van Vraken Holmes, pastor of the church, spoke of the matter to his congregation, and recently word has come to Westminster that Dr.. Cochran's life was ill danger. s. NJ. Clement, president of the Marine bank of Buffalo, and Representative Alexan- der recently went to Washington and laid the matter before the president. President Roosevelt took immediate action, sending a special envoy to the shah from the diplomatic and consular service in Turkey. Word has been re ceived that the Kurdish accomplices have been executed and their heads exposed as an example. It is supposed that this action is the result of the representations by the presidents en- Yoy

A FINAL STATEMENT
Democratic National Commit
 tee Issue an Address.
DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY IN CANVASS
Claim That Their Candidate Will Be Free From All Obligations other Than the Maintenance of the
 Peoples Welfare.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-The Demo cratic national committee has given out for publication formal and final statement. It is addressed to Demo cratic and independent voters' and reads as follows:
 This committee has conducted na- donal canvass in a manner, it believes, befitting the dignity and integrity of the American people. It has advanced no imaginative claims respecting re 9ults and has not accepted for use in
 he campaign a single dollar from the &ariff bred trusts, whose exactions &have so greatly increased the cost of every necessary of life and which are now contributing from their gains great sums of money to perpetuate Re publican rule.
 t'The Democratic candidate if elected will be absolutely free from obligation, direct or implied, to any person or group of persons other than the whole people who shall have intrusted to him the maintenance of the welfare of the republic
 ssThis committee asks for itself only 30 much credit as such conduct of a canvass may merit, but it does feel that both the party and the country are to be congratulated upon the fact that out of discordance of weakness has been wrought union of strength. The difficulties attendant upon this achieve ment are well understood. At every turn, by every conceivable method, in every doubtful district of every doubt ful state, the efforts which we main tain to have been at least patriotic and know to have been creditable to. both the candidate and this committee have been met by an avalanche of money.
 .eThe source of supply of this great Republican campaign fund is no longer a matter of suspicion The Republican candidate declared with great vehe mence that he had promised nothing more than that he may be pleased to consider "a square deal in return for campaign contributions. The Republic an chairman, he vigorously asserted, had assured him more than once that there had been no necessity for mak- ing direct pledges; tllst it had been found possible to obtain ali the money ASCucu up " tAdt tAAnC 0s o1AJ- A%1S without doing so.
 Neither he nor his chairman denied that contributions had been accepted from the trusts for the simple reason that the fact was undeniable, and each knew that it was susceptible and of overwhelming proof. The payments were voluntary not forced; such, and such alone, was the burden of denials which were virtual admissions.
 Five million dollars Is the sum. More could have been had if needed, but under the present chairman's more careful direction that was deemed suf- llAcient. But why did the trust con sThey were asked says the outspoken former secretary.

The little Is months old son of
Mr.. Lucius Bell, who lives o: the
Foster place near Riverside, was
run over by the Northbound
freight on the Southern last Sat
urday afternoon and died from its
Injuries au hour or 20 later. The

child and thinking it might have
followed her unRoticod to the lot
she made search OF the lot for it
and had gone to the front of the
house when she spied 1t several
hundred yards away about the
railroad track. She heard an ap-
proaching train and ran to get her
child and had it been possible for
her to have made the distance a
minute sooner she would have
rescned her precious boy. Bat
before she could reach bim the
train was upon hlm and his little
life was crushed out.
AS soon as the engineer noticed
the child on the track he made
every effort to stop his train but
being on a downgrade the mo-
mentum of the train carried it be-
yond. The little body was badly
mangled, one arm being cut off, q
foot crushed to pulp and the
skull fractured.
Mr. Bell was in town at the
time Of the accident and hastened
home on receiving the distressing
news by phone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell have the
deepest sympathy Of every one in
the loss of their only child under
such sad and distressing circum-
stances. The burial took place
