THAT FAMOUS TELEGRAM.

Judge Parker has not yet received the
telegram which the st. Louis conven-
ton voted should be sent to him in
reply to his dispatch addressed to
William F. Sheehan, in which he de-
clared his allegiance to the gold stand
ard. While ii has not yet reached him
in any formal way. he is acquainted
with it's wording, the text of 1T having
been communicated to him at Rosemont
last night by the press as soon as it
had been adopted by the convention,
together with the main facts of the bat
tie over the question and the details
of the vote.
1t is now known that Judge Parker's s
telegram to Sheehan was sent from the
Western Union Telegraph Office at
Esopus and the story of the precau-
tions taken, both to keep it secret and
to verify it's authenticity before 1t was
delivered, constitute a remarkable
chapter in the story of this eXtraordi-
nary political incident.
Judge Parker's coachman, Robinson,
took the original message to the West
Shore station at Esopus at 1880 o'clock
Yesterday and delivered 1t to the West
ern Union operator there with i'm
pressive caution as to its secrecy. The
message was addressed to William F..
Sheehan at the Jefferson Hotel. St.
| Louis.
MESSAGE IS VERIFIED.
Very soon after it had been sent the
Superintendent of the Western Union
| Telegraph Company in New York
called up the Esopus operator and re-
| quired him to personally verify the
original telegram by a visit to Judge
Parker himself. The delivery of the
message in st. Louis, 1t appears. was
being delayed until the authenticity of
the dispatch could be proved beyond
discussion. The operator called Judge
| Parker's house on the telephone and
| insisted upon talking with the judge
himself (whose voice he recognized)
and told him of the situation. At Judge
Parkers request the operator read the
message to the Judge, and, upon the
latter's assurance that it was all right
st. Louis received word to deliver it to
| Sheehan.

ESOPUS, N. Y, July 10.-In spite Of
the very unusual hour at which Judge
Alton B. Parker retired this morning
after receipt of the news from ST.
Louis, he was prompt in his departure
for church at Kingston to-day. He
drove with Mrs. Parker to the Episco-
pal Mission Church of the Holy Cross
at Kingston, where his son-in-law, Rev.
Charles M. Hall, is rector. Mr.. Hall
had been attending the ST. Louis con-
vention, and in his absence Rev. DIR.
Edward Cooper, rector of the Church
of st. John the Divine at Hasbrouck
Heights, n. j., conducted the services.
Judge Parker assisted in taking up the
collection.
The sermon included no reference to
matters civic or political. After the SER
vice DR.. Cooper was asked if he had
Judge Parker's silence in mind in his
reference to the eloquence Of life rather
than lips when he said:
ut Is not the eloquence Of life that
speaks as loudly or counts as much as
the life itself of a man."
The doctor smiled, but declined to
say.
Judge Parkers visitors, John B. Nc
Donald and Judge Hatch, had remained
with him until o'clock this morning
receiving bulletins, and then departed
