was run over and killed Tuesday by a
Brooklyn trolley car, yesterday passed
his home, at Williamsburg, where his
grief-crazed wife has barricaded herself,
refusing to believe that he is dead and
refusing to take food. The cortege stop
ped in front of the house, surrounded by
huge crowd, which had been gathered
about the insane woman's fortress day
and night. Her stepson lett the mourn
er's carriage. Heapproached the house,
intending to tell Mrs. Calder that the
body of her husband was in the hearse
outside, thus hoping to convince her Of
bis death. AS he raped at the door
Mrs. Calder appeared at a window with
a huge butcher knife in her hand. "Get
out" she yelled, "that isn't my hus-
band. He isn't dead. The next funeral
you bring by here I'll do this" and
the woman drew the blade of the knife
across her throat as though she would
kill herself. The crowd shuddered at
the performance. Young Calder ran back
to his carriage and ordered the funeral
procession to proceed. "Unless Charlie
comes back to me tonight | kill myself"
Mrs. Calder shouted out Of the window.
'1'm going to get rid Of my troubles un-
less he comes right away and the only
way to do that is to cut my throat"

The Grand Parade.

Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va,
Sept. 10.-The Bull Run maneuyres
which closed today with grand review
of the 80, 900 troops by Lieut.. Gen.
Chaffee, chief of staff, Major Corbin,
the maneuyre corps commander, and
other officers, have been, in the opinion
of those who witnessed them, successful
and profitable military operations.
Gen. Corbin discussing the maneuvres
expressed himself as greatly pleased
with the weeks work. "The problems
were both worked out in a most salts
factory manner" be said, "and the in
struction afforded both the regular and
militia forces has been of incalculable
benefit to the military efficiency of the
United States"
The whole army is ringing today with
praise for Gen. Bell, whose clever
strategy enabled him to snatch victory
from defeat in the closing hours Of yes
terday's battle. Had actual war existed
Bell would today have captured the
capital of the United States and won
for himself undying fame. One promi-
nent officer whose position does not al
low of his name being mentioned, said
this morning that by yesterdays feat,
Bell had shown himself to be one of the
most remarkable strategists in the army.
Five years ago, Bell merely lieu
tenant, and such as his lineal
rank that had it not been for his sue
cessful work in the Philippines which
brought him promotion the grade Of
Brigadier General, he would have been
only captain at the age of retirement
The grand review took place at l
o'clock this afternoon at Wellington,
about two miles east of Gainesville and
half way between the camps of the
Browns and the Blues.
Once again the men marched out from
Manassas and Thoroughfare covering
a distance of about seven and half
miles for each army before they met
for the parade. General Bell rode at
the head of the Brown army and Gen.
Grant at the head of the Blue. The
men were tired but still enthusiastic
and the parade presented the appearance
of a review of seasoned campaigners,
the troops being covered with dust and
dirt from their mornings "hike."
Gainesville, Va, Sept. l0.-The line
was formed north of the railroad facing
the Wheeler House, the first division
forming the right wing and the second
division the left wing. The troops of
each Division were in five lines each
brigade constituting one line. Cavalry
and artillery were posted in the rear of
infantry and made the fifth line. Exactly
at o'clock the infantry and other foot
troops began to pass in review in close COL
umn, the field artillery in column of bat
teries the cavalry in column Of platoons
and the wagons and ambulances in
columns of fours. The physical cOndi-
ton of the men is excellent. Only few
were i'll and unable to take their part in
the review. Immediately after the re-
view the organized militia began to de-
part for their home stations. Supplies
met the troops at Wellington and many
of them entrained there. The regulars
will remain in camp until the departure
of all the militia, Brigadier General
Thomas Fl. Barry having been assigned
to command all such troops pending their
departure.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10, 1904

MANY PEOPLE are impressed with the
notion that should the republicans be
successful next November and Theodore
Roosevelt foisted upon the country for
another four years his imperiallstlc
ideas vii! bring about an attempt to in
f,ict the United States with the mili.ar-
ism which is rapidly driving many peo-
ple from continental Europe. In such
countries parents are compelled to have
the names of all male children regis
tered. When they reach certain age
the government calls for their services,
and they are compelled to serve certain
number of years as soldiers. When
their term expires they are then known
as reserves. and afterwards are Liable to
be called upon at any time to take their
places in the ranks. This plan makes a
soldier out of every man. The system
has become so obnoxious In Germany
and other European countries that many
leave their homes and come to America
simply to escape the arduous military
duty imposed upon all Should an at
tempt be made to bring about such
conditions in the United States revo-
luton would be inevitable. There seems
at present, however, butlittle liability Oh
such a scheme being launched In the
near future, but, in tie face ofthe transi-
lions which have taken place IN ms
country during the past six or seven
years, there is no telling what may be
sprung upon us. In the meantime Ii be-
hooves all who have the country's inter-
est at heart to vote intelligently next
November and endeavor to Gust from
power party which has shown itsell
capable of doing anything.

Adam and Eve Negroes.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 1O.-Rev. G.
Cbizzili, of Abyssinia, holding the de,
grees of Bachelor OF Sciences from the
London University and Master Of Art:
from Oxford College, in an interview
here declares that Adam and Eve were
negroes. In support of this he points to
literal reading of original scriptures in
dicating that the Garden OF Eden was
between Egypt and Abyssinia, and the
fact that all persons referred to in the
torrid zone were black. The Abyssin.
ians hold that the difference in color OF
various races is due to chemical action,
developed by natures own laws. They
also claim to be the originators of tree
masonry. "Can the Ethiopian change
his color? | answer, mo, we don't
want to change our color"

IL A statement issued in Chicago yes
terday James Tracey, secretary of the
allied trades conferences board, said
"The strike was one of the most re-
markable that has ever occurred In the
United States. Like all strikes, it end
ed in in victory for the workers, be-
cause rather than risk such a struggle
the employers will be ready to treat with
the unions in the future on an equitable
basis. Every union will retain its soil
darity and will come out Of this struggle
stronger than ever"
Intelligent workingmen will see that
Tracey is more knave than fool and that
he makes such statements only in the
hope of beguiling the gullable into con-
tinuing him in his high salaried office at
their expense. Workingmen have a
serious load to carry in such leaders as
Donnelly and Tracey.

Thursday, and renteda room. The taller
one paid 81, and said the balance would be

brought with them large valise aud a
bundle. The smaller of the two paid
the balance of the rent, and in so doing,
displayed roll of bills. The men then
went to their room. During the night
a Mrs. Wenk, who occupies an adjoin-
ing room to that occupied by the mys-
terious men, saw light burning in their
room. An hour later she noticed
the room darkened, and the gas was
escaping. Her husband and Probst
forced the door open and found the
smaller man, fully dressed, lying on the
floor with his head resting on a pillow.
The room was filled with gas and the
cracks around the windows and doors
were stuffed with paper and cd rags
The yalise and bundle the men carried
were gone, as were also the tall man and
the roll of bills.

Death came to a beautiful young He.
brew girl in Washington Cemetery,
BROOKLYN, Thursday, in manner proba'
bly unparalleled. Rising from the grave
of her twin sister, where she had been
praving. the heavy tombstone fell on her,
killing her instantly. Three rabbis whom
she had asked to pray over the grave
were standing by her when the strange
accident occurred. The prayers that
were offered by the rabbis did not APP
pease the young woman grief, and when
they had finished she fell sobbing and
praying on the mound. Her prayer fin
ished, she started TO rise to her feet, and
as she did so clutched at the tombstone
for support. 1t crumbled at its base and
she was caught beneath it. Her body
lay pinioned under the stoneunti tramp
who had been begging among those in
the cemetery, ran to the spot and rolled
the heavy weight from the lifelesss form.
Two men, the builders of the monument.
were arrested and locked in the Parkvile
police station as being responsible for
her death by Improperly setting the stone.

Panama Approves us.

Concurrently with this development will go the promotion of ssafiitaficny Panama can never be an admirable country until there occurs a miraculous change in the seasons. to do away with the excessive annual rainfall. It may, however, be made healthy, habltabie and prosperous in all of it's parts. With the building of roads and the establishment of other fa- cilities for ready and inexpensive com- municatiou it will begin to 'disgorge its natural riches. When that time shall have come, it will be discovered that Pan- anna is a country capable of sustaining a population as great, If not greater. than that now to be found in what is left of the Republic of Colombia.
 It follows, therefore, tlkit upon com mercial, as well as upon humanitarian grounds, the action of the Panamaians is fully to be justified. Whether or not the United States acted in a manner en- tirely in accord with the principles of in- ternational comity in aiding the rebellion once it had been set on foot is a matter outside of this discussion. On the isthmus we only know that our own government did not have a hand in bringing the rev. ofitiOn about, and that it acted only when the Colombian commander at Iflis port threatened to slaughter Americans. It is only proper to say, too, that If the question of the righteousness of Ameri- can interference should be put to & vote on the isthmus 1t would be sustained py the unanimous voice of the people.
