PIoture or Crucifixion on Back.

EtCLuTc Oi OEuCfhAsoh cf Do~As
Abbott Parker, of Charlestown, Mass,
upon whose back lightning bolt i'm
printed picture ofthe crucifixiou, will
submit his case to the examination OF
physicians in Philadelphia to decide
whether an operation to remove the
marks would be advisable. DR.. Labarre
Leamy, of Philadelphia, to whom Par
ker has applied for treatment, said.
IL can form no definite opinion until |
have made an examination. The cleo
trolytic decomposition of the inorganic
salts in the body into ions, the units of
electricity, take place when lightning
strikes. The ions turn the skin. as il
we're, iDtoa negative plate ready to take
picture when exposed. This is done
when lightning tears the clothes off the
body. Parker's skin was made photo
graphically sensitive by the lightning.
He was brought 10 the hospital, and
when his clothing was removed the
photograph of the cruci6x hanging on
the wall was transferred to his skin.
He was unconscious and did not move,
so the picture developed slowly, like an
old-fashioned daguerreotype. This is
my theory"

Paris, Oct. 4.-Frederick Augusie
Bartholdi, the sculptor of the statue OF
Liberty, in New York bay, died this
morning, at his residence in this city.
The cause of his death was tuberculosis
and he had been bedridden since last
May. The condition of the sculptor be-
came suddenly aggravated yesterday, and
death ensued this morning. Auguste
Bartholdi was born at Colmar, Alsace.
His most noteworthy production was the
gigantic Liberty Eclairant LIE Monde,
which, constructed in copper on an in
ternal iron frame designed by NJ. Eiiiel,
was, in 1884, presented by the French
committee to the United States, and has
since stood at the entrance to The harbOr
of New York. 1t is by far the largest
bronze statue in the world, being $50
feet high, OF higher than the famous
Column in the Place Vendome, in Paris,

one long race for life. His visit

Gov. Montague al Suffolk.

A large democratic mass-meeting was
addressed at Isle of Wight Court House
yesterday by Gov. Montague, Lieut..
Gov. Willard and Congressman May
nard. Gov. Montague's address OF ninety
minutes was argumentative and eloquent.
The governor said Mr. Cortelyou was
made Secretary of Commerce and Labor
to learn for one thing the inside work
ings of the great corporations and then
was placed at the head of the republican
committee TO "touch" these same cOrpo-
rations whose affairs he had investigated
lie alleged that there were evidences of
an attempt to debauch another election,
and he fervently wished he could make
and enforce a law which would forever
disfranchise every man who sold bis vote.
In referring to the flop Of the New York
Sun, Mr.. Montague declared its editor,
in vituperation of President Roosevelt,
had said one day that he was possessed
Of progressing insanity" and shortly
afterward had rendered its loyal support,
and characterized US democrats as Huns
and vandals." The orator said Mr..
Roosevelt should be commended for his
gratitude. He had been very glad to
see some negro soldiers at a certain stage
OF the Cuban campaign, and that may
have accounted for his luncbing on Bos-
ton baked beans with distinguished
citizen Of the South. lie said Roosevelt
kept foot on the Constitution with a
sword in his hand, and that Parker kept
a foot on the sword with the Constitution
in his hand. The speaker asserted that
there was no virture in war except in
self-defense, and that the Divine Being
never intended that men should shoot
and Stay each other under any other pro-
vocation. He said that though the
money question is fixed, the republicans
should not claim all the glory, for the |
only two great statesman who had al
ways advocated the gold standard were
both democrats-Ben Hill and Justice
Lamar.

Mntinied ON The Train

Vienna, Oct. 4.-The revolutionary
newspaper Iskra today states that while
the Bugulmin regiment was on the
trains bound from Samars, Russia, for
the seat Of war, number of the men,
beers mutinied. They killed a colonel
near Ufa, and threw a sergeant out of a
window. No one who participated in
the mutiny, the paper adds, was pun
ished. Ii is recalled that at the recent
manoeuyes the same regiment refused
to obey the commands of colonel, aud
also were not punished. The reason
given is that all the military prisons in
st. Petersburg are overlooking.

CHARLES F. KELLY, former Speaker
of the Missouri House Of Delegates, for
years hand-in-glove with other corrupt
officials who robbed the taxpayers of. St.
Louis. has issued written confession OF
crime in public place that easily takes
rank as a classic in the annals of
"bOodle." With unhesitating hand be
portrays the daring of the corporation OF
graft, part of which be was. He goes
from the magnitude of plotting to the
minutiae of macing, dips his pen deep
into the philosophy of crime and pro-
duces a remarkable picture of machine
made graft. Declaring that he has been
promised immunity as reward for
silence, Kelly AYERS that the pleadings OF
of his wife, desire TO make atonement,
and penitent ambition to serve as a
warning to young men prone to temp
tation combined in determining him to
lit the lid. 1t has been apparent for
some time that a colossal expose vas to
be made IN st. Louis of the exploits Of
certain alleged boodlers, and Kelly's
confession will add but little TO what
many people always had good reason to
believe.

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 4. 1904.

THE ELECTION viii take place on
Tuesday. November 8th, FIVE weeks from
TODAY. All persons who paid their cap
itation. or head tax, on or before May
9Th last and have registered will be en-
titled to vote. Any person who
Maid his taxes for 1903 prior to May s,
1904, not yet registered, who has lived
in the State two years, the city one
wear and the precinct thirty days, can
register. A study, or reading, OF the
election laws are to some confusing. one
must register before he can vote ana
while person can qualify himself today
to register, yet it would not qualify him
to vote. The payment of taxes assessed
against one made, say last month, would
not entitle him to vote on the 9Th Prox-
;mo hut il would entitle him 10 regis
fer The act of the General Assembly
10 carry out the provisions of the con-
stitution in reference to registration and
voting was approved December 8, 1908
A person who became of age, say on
November the 18th next, can regis
ter. and as he on Tuesday, November
sth, will be of voting or constitutional
aga man-it appears, from our read
ing of the qualifications, he could pay
taxes for 1905 in order to register, or,
should one prefer, the tax for 1904, and
then each year the capitation tax OF
$3.50. 1t is contended by some that
new voters cannot vote unless they have
paid their capitation tax six months
prior to the election. Certainly the
constitution does not contemplate that,
and it appears unreasonable to assume
that law makers imposed impossibilities
ON the first voters. OF course, in the
selection of the various electoral boards
a choice was made from persons with a
knowledge of the election and registra-
ton laws, and who can intelligently
point out what appears obscure or con-
ficting. The registrars will be at stated
places in this city on Monday next to
register any one applying, but it is not
probable that many names will be added.
