AN UNKNOWN" NATIVE.


Without word from TIE lNDE'

in its spirit OF dealing fairly and OF
giving cat correct Information OF
happenings, that that native was
none other than our f j Tesla. OF

not ashamed of being 70 treated, in
other words, he 10 proud OF being

Looking 1T more seriously, there
must be sore spot somewhere in
the anstomicsl composition Of the
morning paper, and whish is TO be
found iu the person OF Informer
Smith. AT frst sight, IL was thought
to be that the Bulletins exposure OF
certain street fracas with one Of
it's foul birds had something to do
with this frosty insult, but we think
that that could not be And at sec-
ond sight, being branded as felon,
using the Organic Act as the base
for it on Federal conviction may
have had something to do with this
cold treatment, still we think that
that could never be. Aud at third
sight, as Smith is the prosecuting
witness 10 pending libel suit, we
think that that must be it. Surely

lays, which is next to his heart. Not

RESUBMIT THE CANAL VOTE.
Senator Amber VIII, II Reelected. Try 10
Save the State SIOI ,OOO, 900.

CHATHAM. N. Y, Oct. 22.-In view OF the
growing interest in the question of resub-
mission OF the barge canal proposition,
Senator Henry s. Amber was asked to-day
what his attitude on the question would be
II reelected.
III l am returned to the Senate this
fall" said he, the first measure 1 shall
introduce, which will be on the first day Of
the session, will be bill to resubrnit to the
voters Of the State the question of appro-
priating Sol 900 900 for the enlargement Of
the canal and furthermore, shall intro
duce q resolution requesting the canal board
not to award any contracts for the en-
largement ofthe canal until after the Legis-
laturs has had an opportunity to act, and if
1t takes favorable action then not until
after the voters Of the State have had an
opportunity to express their wishes at
the polls"
1Do you believe that popular sent-
ment In the rural districts would favor re-
submission"
Il do. / am very sure that farmers and
taxpayers generally are beginning to see
the folly OF expanding money for a barge
canal which would be inadequate for the
service that would be required OF II and that
would be obsolete before 1t could be COM
Dleted

CHASED BY A WHITE WHALE.
Steam Yacht Skipper, Out Fishing In
ROwboat, Hustles to Shore.

BOSTON, Oct. 22.-Spouting and thrashing
the water with his big tail, the white whale
which has been sporting OF the north shore
from Lynn to Rockport for the last two
weeks gave two Beverly fishermen chase
yesterday.
Capt John Haskell, who commands the
steam yacht Aurora, owned by Dudley
l.. Pickman, Beverly summer colonist.
was out fishing, when the whale came up
near him. The whale spouted and acted
ugly, SO that Capt. Haskell, experienced
as he is, began to glance shoreward and
figure on the distance to the beach.
The whale began to hit up his speed, and
Haskell began to bend to the oar. Hoping
to stop the fish, Capt. Haskell threw one
of his extra oars overheard, and then went
to work again. He did not watch to SEQ
whether the fish swallowed the oar. but
pulled hard for the shallow water, and
was soon out OF danger.
Fred w. Trowt Of Beverly Farms, also
had an experience with the whale. which
he does not care to repeat.

assessment on the employees OF the County
Clerks office for political purposes. Mr..
Halpin did not make the letter public, but

State committee.
Mr.. Birrell was one Of the trio OF men
known as the Conkling- Hess Birrell COM
bination, which was formed In the Twenty
fifth Assembly district to defeat Herbert
Parsons at the last primaries because
Mr.. Parsons refused to obey the orders Of
OdeIl In making up the primary ticket.
Mr.. OdeIl issued Instructions for the de-
feat OF the Parsons ticket for the reason
that Mr.. Parsons had been guilty Of sin
differentiation. Mr. Parsons, however,
easily beat the combination and as a result
Of retaining his leadership Of the district
he was nominated for Congress. The

statues which adorn the grounds.
Sir Thomas went on to say that he was

which had been shoyered upon him in the
United States. Sir Thomas referred to his
next crossing Of the ocean with Shamrock

VASSAR GIRLS CAMPAIGNING.
All the Machinery OF . Presidential Election
in Operati0n--TO Vote on Nov. 4.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, Oct. 22.-Vassar students
are trying the novel experiment Of having
a Presidential election, with all the ma
chinery in operation according to the cleo
ton laws, and with campaign committees
and political headquarters and a quota of
spellbinders and ward workers to solicit
votes Flaring yellow posters announce
in large letters directions for registering.
Miss Hazel Straight, 'o5, of Oswego. is chair
man Of the Republican committee, and Miss
Charlotte Warner, o5, Of New York, is
chairman OF the Democratic committee.
The college has been divided into wards
and sub-divided into election districts and
over 900 students have registered. Repub-
lioan and Democratic headquarters have
been established, and these have been gayly
decorated with flags, bunting and pictures
of all sizes and descriptions, OF the Presi-
dental candidates Almost every girl in
the college has one or more pictures on her
door.
Republican stump speakers, dressed as
nearly like workingmen as skirts VIII allow,
have been making some weird appeals
for votes, and their Democratic sisters,
not to be outdone, have organized band,
and, through music, have endeavored TO
inject enthusiasm into the campaign. Votes
will be cast on election day with the same
zeal az II the students had the actual right
Of franchise.
By agreement, campaigning was discon-
tinued to-day, when Ave hundred Of the
students in barges and trolley cars went
to New Paltz, and from there scaled the
dizzy heights Of Lake Mohonk The ex
to the seniors and freshmen. The students
made their way through the tortuous cre-
vssse and l,L .ched amid the clouds on Sky
Top. No accidents happened to mar the.trip.

The statement will give figures OF the cleo

what could be learned last night 1t Is under
stood that the committee will claim
277 votes for Parker. 1t requires 23e votes
to elect. The statement will declare that
Parker will not only carry the so-called
doubtful States, but that the committee
Is confident of success in West Virginia,
Delaware Maryland and several other
States which are generally looked upon as
certain for the Republicans.
Probably the optimism which will per-
wade the report OF the committee comes
from the good fortune which the committee
IL commonly credited with having en-
oountered recently in the shape Of large
contributions to its exchequer. 1t is said
that IL money can help the Democratic
national committee TO turn the tide to
Parker in those States which are regarded
as pivotal, there will be no dearth OF It..

suspicious persons they might find. but
by the time the oops heard Of the hold-up
the men who took part in 1t had sufficient
time TO reach a trolley line.
1t was not until Capt. Darcy and Rounds
man Millhauser drove out to Casino Beach
that they could get a description of the
highwaymen. Then neither Paymaster
Durham nor Policeman Phillips could give
much Of description, for they tried to keep
their eyes on the money bag while the
hold-up men were at work Both men
however, agreed that the highwaymen
were Italians.
The three men they saw were young,
and appeared to them to be dressed in
their best clothes. They might have been
laborers dressed for the occasion, the
paymaster thought. Two Of the three
men were smooth shdven and the third
wore a black beard The bearded man
seemed to be the leader, and it was hewho
began the shooting. Incidentally, 1t was
he who called OF the expedition, for he was
the first man over the fence.
All three men wore soft hats. The police
found one Of the hats when they went to
the scene Of the hold-up, and Capt. Darcy
hopes to be able to trace the owner by It,
the hat Ii not new one. 1t was bought
in this city on the Bowery.
The news Of the hold-up created great
excitement among the men employed on
the new plant. Many seemed to think
that some Of their fellow workers had made
the unsuccessful attempt to get their money.
There are many Italians employed at the
works, but so far as is known, none Of them
was missing yesterday.
There have been several hold-ups of a
similar nature in New Jersey in the last few
months, but they were always successful.
The New Jersey highwaymen were Italians,
too and for this reason the police think
that possibly the same gang is Responsible
for yesterdays job The three men who
were scared away yesterday never got
their hands near the paymaster's money
bag. They shot 80 reoklessly and took
fright 30 easily that 1t is more than likely
that they were making their initial hold-up
The police were inclined to criticise
Special Policeman Phillips for not chasing
the men. Phillips didn't put after them
because he didn't want to leave the pay
master alone. He said last night that he
didn't know but that there might have
been other men lurking about ready to
grab the money bag and he was not going
to take any chances by getting too far
| from It.
