An Appeal TO Improve Bethel Cemetery


Dear Friends: The Ladies Guild of
Bethel M. E. Church located on the
State road 4 and one half miles below
Smyrna, are undertaking a task that
will commend itself to your considera-
tion and generosity, the object of
which is to secure funds for the i'm
provement of the grounds of the Gene
terry and the erection of an iron fence
of durable strength and beauty of style
to commemorate with our appreciation
of the memory of the dear ones whose
remains rest beneath the sod in this
hallowed place. Most ofyou to whom
this letter is addressed are related by
kindred or endearing ties to one or
more of the occupants of these graves
around whose lives linger sweet mem
ories and in honor of whose resting
place you will gladly contribute for
the purpose named. Your attention is
directed especially to few facts. The
burial lots have been sold so cheaply
that the money received therefrom has
little if any more than paid for the
care of the ground. Nearly all of the
lots are now disposed of so that source
of income is entirely cut off and it is
left to the church to pay for all further
care of the cemetery the admirable lay
of the land high and dry, the beautiful
situation aud surrounding and the
prominent location on the public
highway all appeal to us to do what
we can for the beauty aud preservation
of this city of the dead. We have the
endorsement and we'll wishes of the
trustees in our efforts. 1t is desired that
the money shall be in hand ready to
begin work in early Spring. Address
Miss IdeIla Slaughter, Smyrna Del
The work undertaken by the Ladies
Guild of Bethel M. E. Church is one
that commends itself to your sympathy
and generosity and has our endorse
ment and commentator. All trusts
committed to their hands will be prop
erly applied and accounted for on
behalf of the board of trustees. r. M.
Cooper, chairman.

Commit Suicide at Spring.
neId. Mass,

SPRINGFIELD. Mass Nov. 1.-Hearing
two shots fired in rapid succession early
today, the employees of the Highland hotel
burst into room, and found Mr. and Mrs
A. NJ. Kirwan of this city apparently dying
from bullet wounds, which, the husband
asserted, were self inflicted They were
taken to the hospital, where both were re-
ported in a critical condition.
The couple were married last June. I1ir-
win is 20 years old while his wife is IS
years old. They came to the Highland
hotel about IL o'clock last night, and going
to a room, ordered a light lunch and some
liquor. AT o'clock this morning the
watchman heard two quick reports Of a
revolver In Kirwin's room. The night clerk
and a porter burst open the door and found
the woman unconscious on the bed and the
man in nearly the same condition on tho
floor. Both had bullet wounds in their
breasts. At the hospital Kirwin recovered
sufficiently to tell the physicians that he
and his wife had decided to kill themselves.
He did not give a reason.

Walsh people knew of the existence OF GER
tain letters they would be willing to pay
well TO get them The woman declared. ac-
cording to Captain Porter, that she never

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Nov 1.-Senator

the third member OF the subcommittee
will arrive Sunday night
Senator Teller is a member of the COM
mittee on Indian affairs and appropria-
tions.
In speaking of the bsuiness which brings
the subcommittee to Eagle Pass, he said:
I'VE are going to investigate the charges
OF fraud which have been made in regards
to the transfer Of lands which are the prop
erty of KickapoO Indians in Oklahoma and
We will be engaged in taking testimony for
the next three or four weeks.
I'VE are going to thoroughly examine the
matter and II there has been fraud we will
so state in the report which we shall make
The land agents claim that the Indians hold
their land after crossing into Mexico, while
the Indians claim that they did not. Con-
siderable testimony has been taken by the
congressional committee appointed to in
vestigate the matter, but It was decided
that the testimony of the Indians them
selves would be desirable and the case will
be, no doubt, tried after this testimony has
been presented to congress"

RUNS ARE ALL ENDED
New York Financial Situation Con.
tinues to Clear.
MORE MONEY IN CIRCULATION
Cash Taken from Weaker Installations
Redeposited in Stronger ones
More Gold Is En-
route.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The financial sit
ustion was gradually clearing today. with
out showing any striking feature. Runs
on the banks and trust companies are
over. Money, which was temporarily
withdrawn from banks subject to runs, l.
flowing into the stronger banks and cur
rency Is being provided in more case;
where the demand for it is considered
legitimate. Further engagements of golC
by Boston and other points have brought
UP the total engagements abroad unde,
the recent movement to S26,55O.OO0. The
Lusltania, which sailed from Liverpool to
day, has on board about $lO,OO0OOO in gold
one of the largest single shipments ever
made. Prices on the exchange were firm
during the early part of the day and die
not yield seriously at any time. The fact
that the Stock exchanges of London and
Paris were closed on account Of All Saints
day prevented any comparison OF quota
tions or arbitrate operations.
Balances with the clearing house have
settled down to a normal condition. but
there is still something OF a blockade IN
domestic exchange through the unwilling
ness of New York banks to pay currency
on drafts from other cities and the un-
willingness OF other cities to pay out their
currency upon drafts from New York
The condition Of affairs indicates con-
tinued pressure for currency rather than
a breakdown of credits, but reasonable
demands are being met for regular Gus
toners Of the banks.
The possibility of Fastening the export
movement OF wheat and cotton still en-
cages the foreign exchange dealers, and
also Of those who endeavor to keep in
touch with the general situation.
Doubt is expressed whether the secre-
tary Of the treasury will be able TO carry
out any considerable scale on the sfoject
Of the New Orleans exporters for accepting
cash at government fiscal agencies abroad
and transferring it by telegraph to points
in that country. but Secretary Cortelyou
is understood to be willing to make such
deposits of public money at cotton export
ing points as will to considerable extent
relieve the strain.
According to the Journal of Com
merce new charters were filed in the
eastern states in October for capl-
tslization OF corporations with an In
dividual capital of sl.OOO.OOo or more rep
resented total capitalization of s7s.lOO. COO
which compares with $7e,OOOOOO in septem-
Der and $1SS,55OOOO in October last year.
The grand total of all companies incor-
porated in October with capitalization
OF 100000 and over including other states
than those of the east, was SlS2, 425 900.
against SIS $4,000 in September and 1876.
$4,000 in October year ago.
Conditions generally in October this year
declined to greater extent than in any
previous month OF 1907. 1t is not sutpris-
ing, therefore. that the aggregate incor-
poration should fall so largely below those
OF last year

BOSTON, Nov. 1.--Advices received from
various sections OF New England tend to
show that Raymond Hitchcock, the fugi-
tive comedian, is bound for Canada, II he
has not already managed to cross the boun-
Diary line.
From North Adams, Mass, comes the re-
port that Hitchcock and two friends stopped
at the Richmond house. in that city, where

vate house, starting yesterday afternoon

latter place at 9 o'clock last night on a
train bound for Montreal
