Is Newhouse Dead T.?

The story published yesterday pertain
ing to the report that Charles II. New
house, who disappeared so mysteriously
from Baltimore on Christmas morning,
1901, had died in South Africa, created
much interest and discussion at police
headquarters in that city and at the Clare
mont stockyards, where the young cattle
dealer was very well known. Captain
of Detectives Humphrey, who conducted
the search for Newhouse, and several
of the employees of the stockyards, who
we're intimate friends of the young man,
stated that they did not believe the re-
port about bis death. Captain Humphrey
said he would almost have to see the
death certificate before he would credit
the story. Some of the Hen at the stock
yards even went so far as to say that they
did not believe Newhouse even went 10
South Africa. AS to the cause of the.
strange disappearance Captain Pumphrey
said:
felt satisfied from the FIRST that New
house had not been murdered, for he
was q pretty wise young man. He
"knew all OF the ropes" as the old say
ing goes, and was not a man who would
60 out and squander, or even display,
money, which might have tendency to
invite robbery. From all | have heard

met with foul play. | realized from the.
beginning that before the marder theory
could be acce pied, or even considered,
there were certain other matters to take
into consideration. For instance, there
was a rumor to the effect that the young
man was not strong financially, and that
his trip to this city with cattle bad not
been so lucrative as he had anticipated.
There was also another report that he
was infatuated with a cousin OF his, and
wanted to marry her, but that the family
opposed the match, and even favored
another young lady. To this young
lady, it was said. Newhouse finally,
became engaged, though he loved his
cousin more devotedly. OF course. these
bits of information were never siited.

The McCue Case.

Commonwealth Attorney Gilmer
stated in Charlottesville yesterday that
he had positive assurance that w. O..
Durrette, the missing witness in the Nc
Cue case, would be in the city today.
The venire OF so arrived from Richmond
this morning.
The trial will prove expensive to the
city Of Charlottesville and the State of
Virginia. 1t may be safely estimated
that the cost of the jury alone before the
first witness has'been examined will fall
little short of $1,000. 1t seems assured
now that a number of civil litigatioDs
will follow in the wake Of the McCue
murder trial. At the next term of
the Corporation Court suits involving
at least $40, 600 will be instituted against
the accused.
A letter purporting to have been
written by the accused to Mr.. W. Samuel
Burnley, a prominent resident of Char
lottesvile, has just been made public
and is attracting much interest and
varied comment. In the letter the
writer speaks of his irreparable loss in
the death of his darling wife. Copious
extracts from the Scriptures follow and
the epistle closes with 81 remain your

THE poor are having their necessary
supplies reduced by the high price OF
coal, flour, sugar and meat, largely
brought about by the tariff and the con-
soouent trusts. But the republicans say
trusts are private matters with which
the public has no right to interfere, and
also that the high tariff must be con-
tinued in order to protect labor.

schools are open to all, and have been
for decades, and cheap newspapers have

fact that the American voters, the great
majority ofwhom are poorpeople, permit
themselves to be pillaged by the exist

upon the grounds of lack of natural I'M

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

Labor's right to organize is recognized
and encouraged in the report OF the
standing committee on the relations OF
labor and capital, presented in Boston
Yesterday in the House of Bishops OF
the Episcopal General Conference.
After expressing the conviction that
the causes of violence of the last three
years, in Pennsylvania, In Colorado and
In Illinois, are not so much economical
as moral, and declaring that the strike
commonly begins in distrust of each
other entertained by the employer and
the employe, the report says these faults
"are to be admonished, on the one side,
against prejudice and passion, and on
the other side, against covetousness and
The sins which proceed from the inordi-
nate love of riches"
The report was accepted and resOlu-
ton that the commission be continued
was adopted by the House of Bishops:
The House of Deputies adopted the
proposed canon establishing courts of re-
view. Under it dioceses are grouped in
seven districts, each to have a court OF
seven persons appointed by the general
convention.
The deputies concurred with the
bishops in appointing joint commission
to consider the question Of instituting a
system of sutfragan bishops.
The deputies considered a request from
several dioceses for permission to use the
revised version of the Bible in churches.
1t was refused by majority of both
clerical and lay deputies.
The bishops indorsed colored work in
the South, and recommended that larger
appropriations be made for it.
The house concurred with the bishops
in appointing a joint commission to con-
slider the question of instituting system
of sufragan bishops.
The deputies, after some discussion,
voted to appoint committee to petition
Congress for separate structures exclu-
sively for divine worship at army and
navy posts. :,
Both houses voted in favor Of final adj
journment Tuesday next. There is still
much business to be considered, but some
Of it will not be disposed of until the
next convention, WHICH is to be held at
Richmond, Va, in 1907. 1t is under
stood that several resolutions bearing on
the divorce question will be referred 20

police station. Sylvester styles himself
president of the Ktna Express Co., which
has an alleged capital of So, 900, 900.

press Company as a new rival to the old
express companies, and setting forth the
need for various kinds of employees,
such as baggagemen, clerks and
stenographers. The circular offered these
positions to applicants who could prove
proper qualifications, and incidentally
remit $40.

Cause of LOckiaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentiiuliy
in street dirt. 1t is inactive 80 long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger OF lock-
Jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain

Suicide ofEx.soIdier.

New York, Oct. 2O.-Adam Engel-
hard, 81 years of age, an old German
soldier, committed suicide by shooting
himself in the hallway OF 1880 Second
avenue, early this morning. Engel-
hardt had won many medals for bravery
in action, and was highly thought of in
military circles in Germany up to two
years ago. In June, 1902, his son
George also entered the army, and the
father wishing to give the boy good
send of, arranged a farewell banquet for
him. At this banquet a sergeant in the
army, who was present, thought he
would perpeir tie practical joke on the
young soldier and gave him some disin-
fectant to drink instead of wine. The
younger Engelhart died in great agony.
A few days later, at the funeral, of his
son. Engelhardt shot and instantly
killed the sergeant who had caused his
sons death.

Catholics Want to Vote.

Several bishops of north Italy, includ-
ing Cardinal Ferrari, Archbishop of Mil
an and close friend of the Pope, have
petitioned him personally to consider
whether the moment has not arrived to
allow Catholics to participate in the gen.
eral elections. According to the petition
ers, their abstention from voting during
the last "a years has brought no adyan-
tage to the claims of the Vatican, while
it has seriously endangered the interests
of religion by entrusting power to the
open Ienemies of the church, and they
believe that if the Catholics are allowed
to vote, if not for real clerical candidates,
at least for conservatives, it would en-

Deputies Of a strong party, capable of
preventing the passage of bills aimed
against religion. The Pope has asked

REPUBLICAN speakers IS al rule do not
mind what they say, acting on the prin-
ciple that the masses are ignorant, and
will accept as true almost any statement
made to them on the hastings. That
this is true was shown by Secretary
Shaw, who, in the course of bis address
made in Brooklyn last night, held Presi-
dent Cleveland responsible for the panic
of 1898 "by alarming business inter
ests." He also said that Parker's plans
for tariff revision, if carried out, would
be likely to result in disaster. And
the saddest part of the statement is that
it was believed by many who would
have resented the suggestion that they

THE COMPLETED registration figures
for Louisiana show effectually that the
suffrage amendment and the poll tax
qualification have eliminated the negro
vote of the State. The total white vote
registered is 1O2, 1913 against only l, l47
negroes. The poll tax has completed
the elimination of the blacks from State
politics. What is true of the State as
whole is equally true of the individual
parishes. The poll tax provision has
cut down the negro vote of the State at
least $50, 900. Only about 95, 900 whites
have allowed themselves to be disfran-
chised. The attitude of Mr.. Roosevelt
on the negro question has destroyed any
prospect of a white republican vote Of
any size. All this stands in marked
contrast to conditions prevailing in Lou
isiana during reconstruction days, when
negro BARRIERS, carpetbaggers and adven-
turers held sway.
