LYING IN STATE.
Body of Dead Archbishop of New Or
leans Rests in the Cathedral.

New Orleans, Aug. 1O.-Although
the casket is completely closed, allow
ing no exposure of tbs face, many per-
sons today visited the st. Louis cathe-
dral, where the body of Archbishop
Chapelle is lying in state and in the
crypt of which it will be laid to rest on
Saturday. When the death of the
archbishop was announced those high
in charge of the funeral arrangements
assumed that as the cathedral is in
the infected quarter it would be adj
visable to bury the remains at once,

was no danger of infection or conta-
gion from the body.
The postponement will allow Father
Soulagnac of New York, nephew of
the arch bishop, and other relatives
and distinguished clergy outside the
southern zone to come here if they
desire to attend the funeral
None of the priests or bishops in the
diocese outside New Orleans and the
three contiguous. parishes will be able
to attend owing to their inability to
return home by reason of the. presence
of guarantees.
The papers print today the address
which Archbishop Chapelle had pre-
pared for the clergy and people of the
diocese on the yellow fever situation

of Mgr. Chapelle yesterday the mag
nificent residence which he occupied
was completely fuInigated and will
henceforth be under observation until

WOMAN KILLS HERSELF
Because She Didn't Get a Letter Every

Omaha. Aug. 1O.-A woman who reg

Thursday as Mrs. Gibson. Lincoln,
Neb.," died early today from what ply
sicians pronounce poisoning. The wo-
man who is 25 years old. tall and pre-
possessing, said she was waiting for her
husband. Among her effects was found
the card of L. R. Gibson, a Chicago
travelling man, carrying a line of spec
ialties.
Some letters found among her effects
indicated that she was in trouble, but
the contents have not been made public.

A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., states
that Mrs. Gibson was melancholy and
feared her husband, L. B. Gibson, had
been killed in the Lake Shore wreck
near Cleveland and that explained why
he has not written to her every day as
was his custom.

ON HOCH'S COAT TAILS
Stubs Tells How Kelly Was Nomi-
nated-TreasureF Makes Faces.

w. r. Stubs yesterday afternoon
published the following card in the
Lawrence World:
The Democratic paper of this place
intimated last evening that Kelly fur
nished money that nominated Hoch for
governor. There is no truth whatever
in this statement. Kelly and J. r. Bur-
row. both candidates for renominatio9,
1 know. and neither of them contribu-
ted any more than Mr.. HochS friends
put in on his account.
THE facts are, Mr.. Kelly was always
a dead weight to carry and rode into
the nomination and, election on Hochs
coattails.
IF Mr. Kelly spent any money on his
home fights l have no knowledge of its
distribution. There was very little
money spent by the committee of which
1 was chairman that nominated Hoch
for governor considering it was state
campaign. w. r. STUBBS."
Kelly comes back at Stubs with a.
demand that Stubs tell how the money
was spent. Kelly intimates that Stubs
made improper use of the campaign
funds placed in his hands. He says:
Il see that Mr.. Stubs is. talking
about the amount of money Isubscribed
to the Republican = campaign fund. l
think that Mr.. Stubs might tell what
became of the money which was given
to the fund. 1 would like to know what
was done with the money which I sub
Scribed. Mr.. Stubs is posing as re-
former and While he was making that
pose prior to the last campaign he had
a great deal to say about Morton Al
baugh, who was then chairman of tlse
state committee, not explaining what
was done with the funds he had control
of as chairman. Mr.. Stubs might now
do what he asked Mr.. Albaugh to do.

YOUNG GENE FIELD EIoPED.
Married an Ohio Widow and Is Living
in South America.

Chicago. Aug. 1e.-Eugene Field II,
son of his father, is married and is
living on a South American cocoanut
plantation with the bride with whom
he eloped. The elopement was for
given by letter shortly after it took
place by both sides of the new family,
and the happy couple are now wait
ing for their cocoanut grove to ma
ture that they may make a trip home
and receive absolutiOn by word of
mouth. The bride was Mrs. Eleanor
Brooks, an Ohio woman. Mr.. Field,
with his brothers, made a trip to the
south more than two months ago, and
on an excursion from New Orleans
to the bayous of the Mississippi met
Mrs. Brooks.
Before the excursion was twenty
four hours old they were engaged to
be married. For some reason they
decided to keep the affair quiet, and
when they returned to New Orleans
where Mrs Brooks was visiting, they
slipped away to a quiet church and
were married. They they started for
South America.

FRANK MERRIAM'S CLUB.
He Gees North to Join the Disciples of
Isaac Walton.

Mr. Frank Merriam left today for
Petoskey, Mich, where he has found
congenial companions for several sea-
sons in the past. While on his vaca-
ton several years ago he had the good
fortune to have his name proposed
for mem bership in Sons of Isaac Wal
ton. This is the most exclusive club in
the little northern city, in fact it is one
of the most exclusive gentlemen's clubs
in this country, with \ membership
limited to "a. The qualifications for
membership are in keeping with the
exclusiveness of the club. Every mem
Der of the club with one exception is
a salaried officer. An applicant must
be endorsed by every member of the
club which means that he must secure
the signature of every member of the
club excepting the member who has
no title. Nor is this all which makes
the club exclusive, each member must
be able to trace his ancestry, and be-
fore they have become three genera
tions removed he must be able to point
to some member who can make a
showing of royal blood. Again to add
to the efforts of the club to make itself
the blue blood club of the country. the
membership fee is fixed at $1,000
After a man becomes a member of
the club he may choose any office
which suits him. None of the offices
have salaries of less than $4,000 per
year ana some OIL them pay dS nigh dS
$4,000 per year. Contrary to the
usual run of affairs, the highest sal
AIRED offices are the hardest to fill as
the club is somewhat in debt, owing
some of the members nearly u million
of dollars. Mr. Merriam chose the Of
flee of Inspector of Tackle and Bait
which liz this organization is consid-
cred a very honorable position. His
salary is $4,000 and the club owes him
100000 in back salary.
+ he int ion Of tlan f0.TT n
cf the Sons of Isaac Walton to make
all the members officers but that was
found impractical after trial as there
was no one for the officers to boss so
it was decided to make one of the
members a private. This was decided
by lot and the unfortunate individual
who drew the humiliating black pellet
was ex-President Grover Cleveland,
who owing to his position with the
American people since his retirement
from the presidents chair has taken
very kindly to his position as private.
The objects of the club are to live as
many hours each day as possible. get
all the enjoyment out of life that is
attainable and to originate and dissem-
mate stories of their own prowess as
disciples of the illustrious individual for
whom the club was named, and vouch
for all stories told by members of the
club.
