New York, Nov. 5.-Ordinarily the;
campaign for governor closes on the
Saturday night before election, but
there has been nothing ordinary about
this campaign and on neither side will
the work Of addressing and exhorting
voters be abandoned until few hours
before the polls actually: are opened
Tuesday morning.
r." Tammany people did not even take q
rest over Sunday and last night several
big mass meetings were held to advocate
the candidacy Of William r.. Hearst.
One of the speakers at a Bowery meet
ing was former Representative Timothy
D. Sullivan, better known as Big
Tim,'' who is supposed to control more
votes than any other single politician
in New York. He virtually is the demo-
cratic leader Of all the Tammany forces
living in Manhattan south Of Four
teenth street and the fact that he
speaks for Mr.. Hearst. from a public
platform will, Hearst s friends assert,
insure good majority in that terri
tory for their candidate. tt. r., .

But the main question here is, srWho

all sorts of answers to this question.
Never was there such wide dissimilar-
prophets. Mr.. Hearst still is declaring
he will be elected by plurality Of
20O, 900. He says he arrived at this
conclusion from studying the returns Of
a careful canvass Of every county in the
state as we'll as numerous polls.
He expects New York citywill fur

Z. Charles T. Murphy still insists Hearst

greater city and that if he does, re-
ports from up state indicate he will be
elected sure. Many of the district
lea ders who made reports to Murphy
do not agree with him and point to
the significant fact that Mr.. Murphy
has refused to make public the figures

Hearst will not have over 40, 900 plural

fresh set Of traditions II draw upon for
interesting talk. He went home tn good
season with the polite promise TO call upon
the stranger next morning.
al was well toward midnight when the
little company broke up after four hours
OF SOLID talk in which there had been very
little bad English and ct an indicate

ONCE had been that night It seemed prob
able that the interest Of Leonard town
might easily be exhausted before the boat
arrived at 3 O'Clock the g X afternoon.
Morning, however, showed a perfect au-
tumnal sky, with the waters Of lovely
Breton's Bay dimpling over all their sunny
miles to the Potomac.
News had spread that there was a harm
less stranger in town, and the local probate
Judge, bearing a name known wherever
the English language Is spoken, by reason
OF its association with a patriotic Amer1-
can song, came to the hotel with the frank
assurance that his errand was to make
the acquaintance Of the visitor. The Judge

and charm of manner
His hand felt as slender as a woman's

remarked that his own rather difficult
name was pronounced by every one he
met with an easy accuracy, ventured to
wonder why, when he received the soft
assurance, County name, suh." The Judge

ever, could not hide the humiliating fact
that the ancestors Of the stranger figured
nowhere in the civil records.
II they had been given to wedlock they
had neglected to have the fact OF their
marriages officially recorded in books run
ming back 20 the middle of the seventeenth
century, and none of them seemed to have
indicate enough to suggest a search OF the
criminal records, and the tram saved
himself perhaps further humiliation by for
bearing to press the investigation.
During five or six hours passed in the
delicious autumnal atmosphere on the hotel
porch, the stranger was entertained by his
a~cquaintances of the night before, only one
OF whom neglected TO reappear. by the local
rector, q retired ava officer, and the ordi-
nary come and go Of the village street.
When the boat blew its warning whistle
the voyager had to forego a ale of adven-
ture in Alaska about to be unfolded for his
benefit by the local mail contractor, and he
parted with the little group as if leaving a
crowd of old friends.
Perhaps IL was mere vanity; but the
searcher after the picturesque left Leonard
with the feeling hat he had been
made the guest of the community. Mary
land has many more picturesque towns than
that which sentinels Breton's Bay, but
hardly one more polite.

possess medicinal qualities. while the handling

ROMANCE OF AN INDIAN PRINCESS
Daughter or CHIEF Chenowith and the VIE
OF an Army Onicer.

The death Of Mrs. Amos Underwood and
her funeral at Hood River, which has just
been conducted according to h rites Of
the remnant Of the powerful tribe Of Indians
that onoe had swarmed along the banks OF
the Columbia River, has caused old pioneers
to reveal the fact that her life was one Of
romance and sorrow in her youth; and
also that she was a great belle in her time
and was h wife Of a prominent army
officer.
Mrs. Underwood, says the Walla Walla
Statesman, was the daughter OF Chief Cheno-
with, after whom a town is named on the
Washington side Of the river, and who, in
company with six other Indians, was exc
cuted at Cascade Locks for the massacre
which took place there, in which twenty-five
whites were murdered.
Chenowith and his companions claimed
they were innocent, but after an investi-
CATION were deemed guilty and shot. Dur
ing their trial and execution an army officer
who was stationed at Fort Dalles saw Chief
Chenowith's daughter cater to become Mrs.
Underwood, and became enamored Of her
and asked her hand in marriage. IL is re-
lated that she refused, but was prevailed
on finally to accept him through the in
fuence Of Indians OF her tribe, who thought
that it was a diplomatic move.
They were married and for two years lived
together, but not happily, as the Indian
maiden is said to have never recovered
from her repugnance to the man who was
indirectly responsible for her fathers death.
At the end Of two years the army officer
was transferred to California and tried to
persuade his wife to go with him, but she
refused to do so, and he went to his post
of duty. After a time he returned and made
another plea, to which she was also ada
mant. and he then went to Alaska, where
he was sent by the Government. He is
said to AVE returned no more.
Afterward she met Amos Underwood,
who was one Of the few white settlers in
this part Of the country at that time and an
Indian fighter Of great renown. To him she
was married, and several children were
born to them. 1t was Mrs. Underwood's
desire that she be buried according TO
the custom Of her race, and the family re-
spected her wishes.
