DR.. Mary Walker of Oswego coun-
ty New York, the noted woman suf-
fragist, lecturer and writer, who
during the civil war displayed hero
ism and energy as an assistant sur
geon and contract surgeon in the un.

Pension Agent Orr, of Buffalo. n.
Y, has received the voucher of DR..
Mary Walker and her papers were
mailed to her Immediately. She
signs her name simply as Mary r.
Walker, NJ. d., n. p, and so she is
registered on the pension roll. In n
letter to Mr.. Orr she enclosed a cir
cular on which is printed poem by
herself and dedicated to the Wake,
sisters, Vesta, Aurora and Luna who
were educators nearly sixty years
ago. On the paper is also printed \
likeness of DR.. Walker in half tone
which shows her much younger than
she is today. She is now more than
sixty years of age.

j. SHARP WILLIAMS
NEEDED IN VIRGINIA

WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Al-
though tentative schedule has been
arranged for the speeches of John
Sharp Williams in North Carolina,
and elsewhere, John Wesley Gaines,
temporarily in charge of democrat
ic campaign speakers, told CORE
spondent that as soon as the com
mittee could get in touch with Rep
resentative Williams an effort would
be made to have him cancel his
North Carolina speeches and go at
once to the Ninth Virginia district.
where his work is more needed.
There is not the least use for Mr..
Williams to lose his time in North
Carolina" said Mr.. Gaines, because
we have a good democratic majority
there and there is not the least doubt
that Mr.. Blackburn, the present re-
publican representative, will be de-
feated by his democratic opponent,
Mr.. Hackett.
I'VE need Mr.. Williams in Virgin
"a, and as soon as we can get in
ich with him he will be urged to
go there"
81 do not know whether he will
have time to 60 to the Fifth Virgin
In district or not, as we may decide
not to send him there, but he is al
most sure to go to Slemp's district.
after Mr.. Williams has finished
in Virginia he will go to other places
where he may be needed. We want
to send a solid democratic delega-
ton to congress from Virginia this
year"

TO THE VOTERS
IN SEVENTH SENA.
TORIAL DISTRICT
Gentlemen:

Gentlemen:
l was unanimously nomi-
mated by the Democratic Dis
trict Convention at Hinton
on September Doth for Office
of State Senator for this dis
trict and desire to announce
my candidacy, and solicit
your good wishes and votes
on election day.
The convention, recog-
nizing my wishes, re-
strained from instructions,
thereby leaving me untram-
melled to act, if elected, as
my conscience approves for
the best interests of the peO-
pie of the district prospect
i've of party. L appreciate
this expression Of conf
dence, and promise that
same was not misplaced.
1 believe the cardinal prin-
ciples of Democracy, Home
rule, sound money, and tax
alton only for public pur-
poses, as founded by Jeffer-
son, best for the people, and
will advocate requisite state
laws governing it's indus
tries, without appeals to the
general government, and
will also advocate that the
levy of county taxes, be they
much or little, be left to the
counties and such taxes, in
Guiding licenses, be used
solely for county purposes.
l hope to make a canvass
OF each voting precinct in
the district and discuss is
sues with the people. In the
event that | am not able to
carry out the program, I
will appreciate suggestions
from any citizen.
Very Truly Yours,

THIS IS APPLE TUESDAY.
Instruction in Pruning and Planting
 in Many Schools.

Boston, Oct 16.-To-day was ob- served as Apple Tuesday throughout the country. In many schools instru- tion was given in planting. pruning and grating fruit trees and many farmers who have been making ef- forts, with the aid of the government agricultural department at Washing ton, to make New England great apple producing section observed the day by replanting young trees.
 A delegation of New England fruit dealers left this city to-day. for the old Samuel Thompson estate in Will mington. where in 1793 Samuel Thompson discovered the first becker apple tree. which was later named the Baldwin. A granite shaft to Thompson. erected in 1895 by the Rumford Historical society. marks the birthplace of this fruit.
 It was the Baldwin apple that rev. olutionized the American fruit grow ing industry. Besides a phenomenal home consumption. great quantities are shipped abroad. principally to England, and every year sees an in- creasing amount of exports, especial ly from Boston, Portland, Me. and St John, N.. B. Many of the abandoned farms of New England have been bought up for the cultivation of the fruit as result of the efforts by the government.

OCCUPANTS INJURED
Automobile Going at High Rats of Speed Stuck ! Telegraph
 Polo
TWO DEATHS MAY RESULT

2.
 Cleveland, O., Oct 16.-An automo- bile, while running at high rate of speed, struck trolley pole in Lake wood, a suburb, to-day and exploded. Every one of the four occupants of the car was injured and two may die. The injured:
 Miss Anna Schmittel, burned about the arms and body, right arm frac- tured.
 Miss Hnlda Alderman burned about the legs and back; condition critical. Benjamin Camra, burned about the head and hands.
 George Hartman, right eye gouged out, skull fractured; condition criti- cal.
 The car was owned by NJ. J. Man. delbaum, the traction owner and banker.
 According to Camra, who was driv- ing the machine, something went wrong with the machinery. The col lislon and explosion seemed to be simultaneous. The fifteen gallons of gasoline in the reservoir of the ma chine let go with a roar and enveloped all four persons in flames.
