To the Loyal Democrats.

Whether the State Central Committee
did right or wrong In Imposing q heavy
assessment upon the candidates. it Is a
fact that the assessment has been i'm
posed, and the candidates must pay 1t.
unless loyal Democrats come to the
rescue.
There are two ways of doing 1t, One
Is by giving money: the other is by
giving service. Each county and city
should undertake to hold its own cleo
ton without charging the expense Of 1t
to the candidates. This should be done
not only as a matter Of Justice to the
candidates, but to save the primary from
serious blow. Democrats in all parts
Of the State are saying, and rightly say
ing. that If It is going to cost a man
$500 to enter the race for Governor,
or senator, poor men viii be excluded,
and our primaries will be more than
failures. That must not be-. The pri-
mary must BE saved. Friends Of the
primary must como to the rescue. 1t Is
a simple matter. Let each community

will be bagatelle. and Will not be felt
But even If 1t should be. can 1t be that
Democrats who are friendly TO the prl-
mary are unwilling to make some little
sacrifice for It? If so. they must be very
poor Democrats, and they must care
very little for the primary.
Now Is the time to show your colors.
Now is the time to give little money
or a little time to the cause Of Democ-
racy and to the primary.
Don't say this will be giving something
to the candidates. That is narrow
view. The candidates will pay. There Is
no doubt Of that. although it is wrong
in principle and mischievous and danger
Gus in practice TO, make the candidates
nay the expenses Of the election. espe-
cially to make the assessment so high
as TO exclude poor men, or force them
to go to tho rich for aid. The question
now is that Of saving the primary from
hurt II Democrats will volunteer to hold
this primary without material cost to
the candidates. it will be the greatest
boost the primary ever received.
Save the primary. Volunteers to the
rescue.

today aged 46 years, of heart disease,
produced by nephritis. She was taken
i'll on Friday and on Saturday morning

MURDERESS," Is DEAD
Has Been in Prison since 1853 for
Murder-NeVer Revealed
Her True Name
BY Associated Press.

NEWBURG, N. Y, May 14.-Mrs.
Henrietta Robinson, SO years old, who
was known as the "veiled murderess," "
died at the Mattewan state hospital
today. She was convicted of the muir
der of Timothy flanagan and Gather
inc Lubee in Troy, in 1858.
During the trial she wore a heavy
veil and she said that she would rather
have any verdict pronounced than to
remove 1t. At the close of the trial
she drew the veil for an instant, and
smiling to the jury, again drew it. She
was sentenced to be hanged on June Is,
1858. Her sentence was afterwards COM
muted. She was sent to the Auburn
state hospital for the insane in 1873 and
later transferred to Mattewan.
When a few days ago it was certain
she must die the physicians endeavored
to have her reveal her identity, which
she had kept hidden since her commit
ment. She refused, saying that she had
kept the secret for fifty years and might
as well let it die with her. Only once
in her long captivity did she ever re-
veal anything about herself, and then
she told physician that she came from
the English royal family.

THREE INJURED
IN COLLISION
OTHER PASSENGERS NARROW
LY ESCAPE
SWITCH WAS FOUND OPEN
Cars Going at Lively Speed Crash
Into Each Other at Corner
of Sixth and Olive
Streets
SWITCH WAS FOUND OPEN

Through an almost phenomenal bit of
good fortune but three people received
slight injuries yesterday afternoon
when two cars, crowded with passen-
gers and running at a high rate of
speed, crashed into each other at the
corner of Sixth and Olive streets.
The collision occurred at about 3:15
yesterday afternoon when southbound
Washington street car No. 2S0 struck a
private car, knocking it off the track
and smashing nearly every one of it's
windows.
The accident was due to the careless
ness of the conductor of preceding
car who failed to close switch after
his car passed, it is said.
Injured Passengers
So great was the velocity of the col
lision that it was a wonder that many
people were not killed instead of being
slightly injured. The list of the pas
sengers who were hurt is as follows:
Mrs. Langley. 81 Grand avenue. cut
about the head and face and badly
shaken up Ed Foster, an employe of
the city hall. both legs badly bruised,
and Mrs. j. e. Robbins, who lives at
S11 Boyd street, knee cut open by a
splinter.
Mrs. Langley is considered to be in
the most serious condition of any of
the passengers. While she did not re-
ceive any injuries that may prove fatal,
she was so excited over the shock that
1t was feared she might develop ner-
vous prostration.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14-E. II.
Conger, formerly American minister to
China and who was recently appointed
ambassador to Mexico, arrived today
on the. steamer Siberia from the Orient.
Mrs Conger accompanied him. 1t Is
Mr.. Congers intention to proceed
almost Immediately to the City of
Mexico, unless he receives orders to the
contrary, but Mrs. Conger will first re-
turn to her home at Des Moines Iowa.
Mr.. Conger said that he left dlplo-
matte matters in China in very salts
factory condition. On the question of
China's neutrality in the Russo-Japan-
ese war he said:
China has always been disposed to
maintain the strictest neutrality be-
tween warning nations and although
there has been considerable criticism
from both Japanese and Russian
sources, believe that the Chinese gov
ernment has never shown partiality one
way or the other but has always ad-
hered strictly to the requirements of
international law"
Mr. Conger was asked concerning the
periodic rumors of another boxer up
rising and replied:
There is absolutely no truth in such
reports. There is no danger of another
boxer outbreak. OF course there are
occasional troubles in the interior, but
they arise from purely local causes
which have no bearing whatever upon
the presence of foreigners. There is
no organized movement in China
against the foreign people. There never
has been a time in the history of the
country when the government was
more ready, or better prepared to put
down any incipient organized effort that
might be directed against resident for

PER|LOUS TRIP
LOCAL V0YAGER HAS NARROW
ESCAPE
FLIES 5000 FEET ABOVE EARTH
Grant Morton bangles In Space for
an Hour In Semi-Conscious Con-
dltion, Clinglng to
Trapeze

Dangling in a semi-conscious condi-
tion nearly 1ve thousand feet above
the heads of a breathless multitude,
Grant Morton, aeronaut, clung tenaci-
ously to the trapeze of his balloon, and
finally alighted in the back yard Of a
residence at 535 East Twelfth street,
yesterday afternoon.
Despite the fact that he was bleed
ing profusely from several wounds in
his head and arms, Morton braced his
foot in the crossbar in such a way
that even if he had bled to death dur
ing his journey, his body would have
been found still fast to the balloon.
For some time Mr.. Morton has per-
formed aerial feats of exceptional dar-
ing before admiring crowds at Chutes
park. Until yesterday he has always
been fortunate enough to escape seri-
GUS injuries, and even then the mis-
hap was not due to any fault of his.
The accident occurred at about 8
o'clock, when hundreds of people, all
eager to see the daring navigator start
on his perilous fly through space,
crowded about the inflated balloon.
The word was passed that all was in
readiness and at a given signal the
attendants cut the cords that held the
huge balloon to the ground.
Deep Gashes in Head
Morton grasped the bar of his ira
peze and like a shot was hurled aloft.
Unfortunately, however, the guide pole,
which is used to hold the balloon in
place, struck Morton as he passed, in
ficting deep gashes in his head and
arms.
The crowd that had witnessed that
accident, stood in breathless silence,
expecting to see Morton fall from his
perilous position and dashed to pieces
at their feet. Silently they watched
the limp figure of the man, as it grew
smaller and smaller, until he seemed
a mere speck in the sky,
Upon being struck by the guide pole,
injured, and finding his senses gradu-
ALLY leaving him, he wrapped one foot
about the rope of his trapeze.
In this position he sailed on and on,
drifting with the wind until the hot
air of the balloon, finally exhausted,
caused it to sink gradually until 1t lit
in the yard on Twelfth street.
Morton was taken to the general
emergency hospital, where he was
treated for his injuries.
1t was found that, though unconsci-
Gus, Morton was not suffering from
fatal wounds, and will recover in a few
days.

BOSTON, May 14.-A woman who
claimed to be Carotta, wife of Maxi

brother of Francis Joseph present
the Herald, left the city after securing
$40, 600 from members of the Italian col
ony on the pretense that she was right
fully claimant to the Austrian throne.
"She is" the Herald says, "being
sought by over 100 residents of the
North End district, who. for almost
eight years have been paying her
money to enable her, as they sup
posed, to gain possession of the Aus

ing place she promised that those who
helped her would be made ministers ami
mobiles and be given vast estates. One
woman, the wife of prominent italian,
gave her $4,000 on the strength of the
promise that she should be made a
duchess. An organ grinder contributed
few hundred dollars, all his savings,
with the understanding that he would
be made court musician. Others con-
tributed tens and hundreds on similar
assurances.
MANY Italian citizens secretly visited
her at her royal head quarters, hand
somely furnished room in a dwelling
house on the corner of two south enl
streets, where the pseudo queen sat on
an imposing throne, resplendent in red
cloth and tinsel and graciously allowed
them to kiss her hand on the occasions
on which they brought her tributes of
money. At each side of the throne
stood couriers and bodyguard who
clanked stage arms.
Mysterious secrets such as would
were credited to this woman. When
she appeared in Boston eight years ago
1t was mysteriously whispered among
the few in the North End that Car

Joseph, was in Boston in disguise,
having escaped from Brussels, where
she had for many years been confined
in an asylum.
when they were told that Carlotta
had come here to collect a few faithful
followers on whom she could rely, and
enough money to return to Austria
and use in connection with her all
powerful. secrets, and that those who
aided her would bask, when she gained
the throne, in her royal favor, the
italians believed their fortunes We're
made.
"Carlotta's aides il this vast enter
prise were number of select and
dashing young men Of various nation
alities, among whom was one Moriarity,
who represented himself to be Crown
Prince Rudolph, eldest son of Emperor
Francis Joseph, who in January 1889,
shot himself.
"Latterly the Italians had become
suspicious and began to hint openly
that Carlotta and her henchmen We're
delaying matters. Recent visits to the
throne room disclosed that the woman

In st. Petersburg the day was passed
in almost perfect quiet, and happily
without a drop of bloodshed. The
revolutionaries found it impossible to
execute the program of demonstra-

Weather a Deterrent
Governor General Trepoff handled
the situation firmly, but with a view
to avoiding collisions, and made his
dispositions skilfully. Squads of Co.'S
sacks patrolled the streets, reserves
being held out of sight in courtyards,
and the guard regiments were retained
under arms in their barracks, but there
was no occasion to call out either.
More or less tension and agitation
were apparent in the industrial quar-
ters among workmen promenading
under the eyes of Cossacks with whips
in their hands. but otherwise the city
wore almost a normal appearance.
The weather, which was cold and raw,
perhaps acted as a deterrent of trou-

of "The January Martyrs" as the vic

crowd, largely composed of curiosity
seekers, assembled. Cossacks dispersed
the crowd, the more aggressive OF
