in Paying Tribute to His Character.

London, Oct. 1.--Sir William Har-
court, the finest political gladiator of
his age died Very suddenly today at
Nuneham Park, near Oxford, the
ed from nephew Only his wife,
daughter of The late John Lothrop
Motley, former American minister, to
Great Britain, was with him When Sir
William went to bed last night he
seemed fairly we'll, though he had been
suffering from IL slight chill.
This morning, when he was called he
replied cheeriy, In a short time
Later a servant entered the room and
found Sir William lying dead or his
bed. His son, Lewis Vernon Harcourt,
member of parliament, was hastily
summoned from London.
Among all classes in the United
Kingdom, regardless of party, the un-
expected news caused "a sensation and
genuine regret. The Standard, one Of
deceased's most bitter opponents says:
with the late liberal leader there has
passed away the last of those titanic
figures bound up with the most bril-
liant traditions of the house of COM
mons There are but. few left of those
eminent statesmen who received their
political training at the hands Of
Gladstone and Disraeli. The coinci-
dence of his death with the intended
withdrawal Of the distinguished states
man into well earned repose after
career of hard work and political ac-
tivity gives added pathos to the event.

TAKES PARKER CUE
New York Candidate for Governor on
Democratic Ticket Attacks RepubI-
can Administration for Alleged Ex-
travaqance.

Albany, N. Y. Oct. 1.-Justice D.
Cady Herrick, democratic nominee for
governor and his associates upon the
ticket were formally notified of their
nomination today. In speech of ac-
ceptance Herrick said it is undoubtedly
a fact that there is widespread feel
ing in the state that many of it's high
est officials are recreant to their
trusts; that leaders of the party IN
power treat the government of the
state as commercial asset, and poli-
ties as pursuit to be followed by
private gain.
The testimony of a witness summon
ed by the governor, and the attorney
general, he continued, incidates that
there is something graver than mere
wanton waste and extravaganza in the
expenditures of the peoples money
II elected, Herrick promises to bring
about reforms in ballot exercise Of la
Dor and canal improvement of laws
and that his election would mean the
restoration Of their appropriate
spheres of all the different powers of
government, instead of all being CEN
tralized in the hands of an executive.
The resignation of Herrick as JUS
tice of the supreme court was filed to-
day with the secretary of state.

tiles. and was arrested last Thursday
in Linn county, after desperate
chase His arrest is due to indict-
ments found against him by the last
grand jury Four counts were filed
against him for obtaining money by.
false pretensions. and his bonds were
fixed at $500 on each count, or $10,-
900 in all, which he has not been able
to give. When arrested. his clothing
was poor and his only transferable
assets were 81 cents in the coin of the
realm.
The actions brought were at the in
stigation of Harm Schulta, promi-
nent farmer in Grundy county, who
testified before the grand jury that
he had bought five hundred shares of
Neptune mining stock; by Isaac Has
brouck, another prominent farmer,
who bought $50 shares; by e. e.
Stoehr who had bought $50 shares.
and by c. Dirks who had bought 500
shares. These gentlemen claimed that
the money paid for their shares were
obtained by Christie under false pre-
lenses. 1t is stated that he claimed to
be selling company stock and that
the proceeds of the sale were to go to
the development of the mine, but in
stead, he sold the stock that was given
him as promoter and used the money
for his personal needs and speculation.
