Another phase OF the opposition to the
return of Representative b. A. Cooper
to Congress from the GAINESVILLE, Wis.,,
district, has developed in Wsl@orth
county, where circulars setting forth
startling charges regarding the disposal
of the Lake Geneva postoffice were put
in circulation, including sworn state
ments that the Office was offered for sale
to one r ID. Short for $50 month, the
money to be paid to Fred Kull, Con-
gresham Cooper's campaign manager
for the county. The affidavit, made by
R. d. Snort, an sspirant for the post
offic-. states that Fred Kull, a prominent
supporter of Representative Cooper,
went to Short and told him he could
have the Office if be paid him Kull)
$50 a month during his tenure OF office.
Representative Cooper's relation in the
matter appears to be in that he was
notified OF the action of Mr.. Kull. and
in the face of i: secured the appointment
of the present postmaster upon kuir'
recommendation and without any in'
dorsement by business men, who did mol
know the successful aspirant was q can

public. Mr.. Kull is still acting 81

Ghosts in Charlottesville.

The Charlottesville correspondent OF
the Richmond Journal says: About a
month ago family of wealthy sonther-
ners came to Charlottesville and took a
comfortable residence near the city, with
a view to three months of pleasant and
leisurely sejouru. One day last week
they paid the three months rent in full
and departed.
There is in this hasty abandonment OF
leisurely country life story of more or
less mystery-perhaps not enought OF
incident, mystery or gloom to form the
basis of another story Of "The Fall OF
the House Of Usher"
The house near Charlottesville, un-
like that of the artist in Poe's sombre
story, is situated on an eminence. is
minus the tarn or lake which was an ef-
fective property in the romance, and in-
deed all its surroundings would suggest
life in the open, under clear skies.
And it wss pleasant enough in the
daytime, although very much to the con.
trary at night. Then there were mys-
terious footsteps in vacant chambers and
in places where no feet had right to be.
When the atmosphere was without
movement and The leaves did not so

their observation and sat down to game
of whist, which, for good reason, was
played with less than the customary skill.
Nor was the game sllowedto move to its

The whist party broke up and with

yestigste the mys,ery. The doors that
had been locked were found unlocked,
and that was about all that was found.
The restless tenants could not be dis
covered, nor could any evidence of their
temporary occupancy other than the
open and unbolted doors, be found. The
lawyer came away as much mystihed as
the family. The owners, as far as can
be heard, offer mol explanationl and the
mys.ery continues in full force aud al

LAWYER PATRICK GIVEN
 ANOTHER LEASE OF LIFE
RETRIEVE GRANTED BY GOT- ERNOR HIGGINS UNTIL
 MARCH 19.

Opportunity Offered Counsel for the
 Condemned Murderer of Millionaire
 Rice to Bring Before Trial Court
 Alleged Newly Discovered Evidence
 District Attorney Jerome Offers No
 bjection-Statement Issued by the
 Governor.
 Albany, Jan. 15.--Albert T. Patrick, the New York lawyer convicted and now awaiting execution in Sing Sing prison next week for the murder of William Marsh Rice, an aged and very wealthy man, in New York city in Sep tember, 1900, was reprieved this after noon by Governor Higgins until Mon- day, March 19. This reprieve is grant ed for the purpose of giving Patricks s counsel time to bring before a trial court alleged newly discovered evi- dence. Its granting followed hearing before the governor and was in accord ance with the request of former Senator David B. Hill and Judge w. M. R. Ol- colt, of counsel for Patrick, and with the full consent of District Attorney William T. Jerome, of New York coun- ty who was present in person. Senator Hill came forth for the first time from his sick room after an illness of more than two months in order to attend the hearing, and addressed the governor at considerable length.
 In announcing the reprieve of Patrick Governor Higgins gave out the follow ing memorandum:
 Tt appears that Patrick is not at this time an applicant for executive elem ency but that he desires newly-discov- cred evidence bearing upon the question of his guilt or innocence which has not been presented to the court. A motion for new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence may be made at any time before execution in case of a sentence of death, and Patricks coun- sel state that it is their intention to make such a motion in his case if time is given them. Patrick should exhaust his legal remedies before asking the governor to intervene. Newly discov- cred evidence should, in the first in- stance, whenever it is practicable, be presented to the court. The governor should not exercise judicial functions by a general re-trial of the case. Par don Is technically an act of forgiveness which implies guilt, although pardons and communications may be granted in the discretion of the governor as guided by his own conscience. The importance and notoriety of this case should not lead the governor to establish prece- dent for setting up an extra constitu- tional court of last resort to retry the issues raised on the trial. Patrick should have ample opportunity to pre- sent his case to the court, and when his case is ended in the courts an ap~ peal to the executive for mercy will be in order"

STATEMENT BY 1YPoTHETAE.
Claim That Number of Union Men
 Have Returned.

New York, Jan. 15--The Typothetae tonight gave out the following state ment;
 The most significant development to- day, in so far as the Typothetae Is con- cerned, was the return of a number of union men to one of the largest Typoth- etae firms. These men have given up their membership in the union and have accepted the Typothetae conditions. This fact, together with the arrival of a number of competent men, has added to the confidence of the employers, and in their opinion, the prospect tonight is more satisfactory than at any stage since the strike began.
 The number of new men now at work in the open shops is 60 per cent. of the total number that walked out, a distinct gain over last week
 An interesting incident of the print CTS strike, and one that may form an important test for future strikes, has developed In the filing of four suits, for $10 1000 each, for libel against John E. Delaney, editor of the Unionist, a local labor paper. The plaintiffs are Edward D. Stewart H. Kanegsberg, Oscar w Wells and B, Darlington. They were members of Typographical union No. in New York and were employed by the Isaac H. Blanchard company, members of the Typothetae. On December 3( they resigned from the union and re- mained in the employ of the company On January the Unionist printed theil names in what was called roll of dis honor The plaintiffs allege in theii position that they have been charged with being guilty of a dishonorable and act and thereby ask damages in the sum named"
 President Patrick H. Mccormack, oi Typographical union No. 6, said that the union printers are standing firm fol the forty-eight-hour week and "closed shop" and that there is no foundation for the report that there have been de- sertions from Big Six"

Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 15.-Cap- tain Archibald, his two mates and the life saving crews Who had refused to leave the steamer Cherokee, which lies stranded on the treacherous Brigantlne shoals, two miles off shore, tonight abandoned the vessel. Waves were then rolling over the deck and pound ing against the pilot house-the last refuge of the captain and his little band of men. The big vessel, which is val ued at about half million dollars, will probably be a total loss. Tonight two wreeking tugs and lighter are how erlng in the vicinity of the steamer, and their crews will at the first oppor- tunity, strip the steamer of whatever is worth salvage Captain Archibald and his mates are at the Brigantlne life saving station.
 During the day Captain Mark Castro, who yesterday made the sensational res cue of sixty persons from the steamer, went out to the strained vessel in the sloop yacht Slnbad accompanied by Captain c. M. Keessler and small crew, and brought ashore all the bag gage of the passengers and crew.
 Captin Caste and his picked crew of the yacht Alberta were showered with congratulations to-day. Their heroism was officially recognized by the munich pality of Atlantic City tonight, when Mayor Stoy sent letter of congratula- ton to the captain.
 Public spirited citizens have started to collect a fund for the captain and his men. Up to tonight several hun dred dollars had been contributed.

 Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 15,-President Charles W. Eliot said tonight in ref erence to the football situation at Har- yard, that he would never consent to intercollegiate football being resumed at the university until it had been demonstrated in actual play that the objectionable features of the game have been removed. President Eliot said he would not consider a mere experiment. al demonstration of any new rule as proposed by the amalgamated commit tee sufficient test, but he thought a series of class games during the spring might serve the purpose to his satisfaction.
 President Eliot expressed his dissatis- faction at the makeup of the amalga- mated committee, as he believed that men who developed football are not fitted to reform it.
 To direct question as to whether in his opinion intercollegiate football would be played at Harvard next fall, President Eliot replied that he was un- prepared to answer as yet.
 Neither Prof. H. s. White chairman of the Harvard athletic committee, nor Head Coach William T. Reid. jr., would comment tonight on the decision of the overseers of the college in abolish ing the game.
