Stamford. Conn. April An invesrga-

York. has brought to light similar at
tempts 10 get 5000 from William Zeig-
Ter, the baking powder man, and John
/. Williams, wealthy New York busi-
ness man, who have country seats here.
II received one letter that contained
yelled threat and intimated that there
would be a demand for money forthcom-

letter such as no one would like 70

skirts Of Stamford in a pail hidden be-
meath the flooring.

Failure TO comply with the demands
stated II was signed. Committee" and
handwriting experts who saw it said it
was the work OF an educated Italian.
Many Italians worked on Mr.. Zeigler's
estate at the time He placed the letter
in the hands of Prosecuting Attorney
Carter OF Stamford.
The Pinkerton Detective Agency's aid
was enlisted. Superintendent Fields and
three men were sent 10 Stamford and a
plan was fixed up for the blackmailers.
The local police had already found the
pail in the designated place
One evening about dusk Mr.. Zeigler
and his secre tary drove up 10 Woodside
park and placed SIS in marked bills IN
the tin lard pail They drove off imme-
media tely. Meantime the Pinkertons lay
in a grandstand watching the barn.
No one appeared. The next morning at
about o'clock an Italian appeared and
was making towards the barn when the
owner OF the park came in 20 make re-
pairs 10 fence. Later in the day an
other Italian appeared. but the presence
OF the proprietor kept them away from
Mr.. Zeigler received another letter
thanking him for going TO the park with
the money and telling him another place

have learned that the note paper on

the night of the first day of an inter
national horse-sale. This is what he
would see: In Parlor 10, seated at a
long table dozen of Mr.. Towle's
chiefs, all in their shirt-sleeves, smok-
ing yoluminously; before each sheet
OF paper on which was printed list
OF the members of the legislature; ;
against every name blank space for
memoranda; at the head of the table
Towle himself, frowning severely over
a similar sheet having broader mem
cranda spaces. One after another the
chiefs would call off the names of the
legislators, reporting as they went
along. The outsider would hear
droned monotonously: "...... from
...... not my man; ...... from 49,.
my man and $500. IS man; seen today,
stood same as yesterday; ...... from
......, raised price $40, making it
$50; agreed $40 paid on account, to-
tai OF $50; due raised because ......
told him that he had got $40 more
from ......"
AS each man reported, the other
chiefs and Towle discussed the details,
and when decision on disputed points
was arrived at, Towle would make a
memorandum on his blank, and the
chief concerned recorded the order in
the little notebook which each car
lied. All reports in at last, Towle
retired to Room II and speedily re-
turned with the "stuff' consisting of
cash, stock, puts, calls, or transporta-
ton tickets, which he dealt out to the
chiefs to fulfil the promises they had
made for the day. 1t would be OBJ
vious to the outsider, as soon as he
had learned what was being dealt in,
that large proportion of the mem
bers of the great and general court of
had bargained with the
different members of the machine"
to sell their votes not only in COM
mittee but in full session of the legis-
lature, that the price was to be paid
when the votes were cast, though
was invariably exacted on
account, to tie the bargain. Payment
seemed to be made in cash, calls on
Bay State gas or Dominion coal, or
on any of the railroads
in the United States or Canada. The
latter appeared to be a class of re-
Towle favored, probably
because. it cost nothing.

Your blood Is always full Of pOison-the
poison you eat and drink and breathe into your
system. 1t Is the purpose of the blood 10 absorb
and carry on this very poisoD. And the kidneys,
which are the blood filters, are expected to
cleanse the blood and send it back through the
system clean, to gather more poison " hich, they,
IN turn Will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail. And some
times, from some other cause, the blood gets
SO itill OF poison that they cannot absorb 1t all.
This IL the start Of rheumatism. The poison
accumulates and crystalizes. The crystals look
IKE little grains of sugar or of fine white sand.
The blood carries them and they increase in
size. Then, when 1t can carry them no longer,
II deposits them In joint-on = bone-any-

may have . chance to dissolve and eliminate
the crystals which have already formed. Unless
this Is done there can be no cure-no permanent

by process of law.
Their idea was that money was a
public utility, and if some law could
be made that would bring about the
municipal ownership of cash, SO all
could have a chance of holding a job
connected with the distribution of it,
nothing more might be desired.
So they cheered for municipal own
ership, just as they cheer for free gas
or free baths or free lunch or single
tax or single blessedness or singleness
of purpose.
And some carried banners and some
said, That's sol" when the speakers
paused to show they had launched a

prevail, and the band played Rally

And then the Cooper Union audience
went home, to come again at the next
convention of protest, be it against
spinal meningitis or frenzied finance
or signs in the subway.
But one-third of the audience were
women, and of these 100 per cent had
attended to see what John Graham
Phelps Stokes looked like.

All during the proceedings there was
a great craning of feminine necks as
the whisper went round, "She's here"
But she wasn't. And more's the
pity, for that would have been most
interesting, which the municipal own
ership meeting of itself was not.

carneeie's Advice to Preachers

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 8, 1905.-At
the Vine Street Congregational church
the pastor, Herbert S. Bigelow, dis
cussed Mr.. Carnegie's reported utter
ances concerning the duty OF minister's.
Mr.. Bigelow said in part:
Mr.. Carnegie is reported to have
said: eff the clergymen were to stick
closer to the business of the church,
and devote less time to somewhat wild
discussions of questions which are not
Intimately related to their work, 1t
strikes me there would be better re-
suits in the church"
The value of this advice depends
upon what Mr.. Carnegie considers the
business of the church. Some say it is
to teach that all men fell in Adam
and that none has hope Of Paradise,
save he who believes that Jesus was
God, and that the vicarious atonement
wrought by his blood on Calvary is
humanity's only hope of escaping hell.
Others say it is to teach that God
is spirit; that there is something of
God in every man; that salvation con-
sists in the growth of intelligence and
love, the God in man becoming upper
most and that there is no better way
to find this salvation than to strive

Enthuse Over Tom Watson.

In a long account printed in the
New York World concerning the pub
lie ownership meeting held in New
York which Judge Dunno of Chicago
addressed, occurs the following: @
Some misguided man said "Hurrah
for Chicago" But much as those
present wanted municipal ownership,
they would not enthuse over Chicago.
Probably most of them had been there.
But they did enthuse over Tom Wat
son, late of Georgia and the house of
congress, now gone into magazine pub
fishing la Bryan and that man Law
son of Boston.
Tom Watson is populist, and a
scholar.
He is the originator of the famous
phrase where am att" Not that
Tom Watson doesn't know his gram
mar. He" spoke these memorable if
ungrammatical words in congress to
back up the charge that he had seen
and heard. members of the house so
much under the influence of "old tea"
that they asked aid from the speaker
to be extricated from the exuberance
of their own verbosity.
Tom Watson wrote the Life of Ma
poleon," or rather, one of Napoleons
live, for Napoleon had more lives than
a cat.
Tom Watson is skinny Tom Wat
son is red-headed, but Tom Watson
can talk, and the Cooper Union prot
estants rose and cheered him and
waved fags-for Judge Dunno of Chi
cago, isn't such very good speaker.
Mr.. J. G. Phelps Stokes presided.
He has a harsh voice, and isn't very
good speaker, either. So all the foren-
sic honors went to the thin, red-headed
Watson.
The single takers were out in force,
the Municipal Ownership league had
distributed small American flags.
Prof Bemis, who tells us how cheap
we should get gas, only we don't, was
present and as peaker.
There were many women and young
girls present. Cooper Union meetings
are family affairs, The same families
go to the different meetings.
A policeman told us that one-tenth
of those present were policemen in
plain clothes. Asked if they were
there in an official capacity-for there
were several hundred policemen in
uniform, our constabulary informant
said no. It was their platoon off, he
said, and they were all for municipal
ownership. Asked if they were not
having theirs. he said, not as much as
they might wish.
With all due respect to the majority
present, for the most part well read
and intelligent people, many there only
felt the meeting was protest against
the existing order of things and
seemed to have vague ideas that we
all could be made wealthy and healthy
