man, Of Chesterfield county. In whose
home the girl has spent the better por-
ton Of a iabOrious existence. Cawley
is the man who is alleged 10 have held
the girl in slavery since she was child.
The plaintiff to the suit is now twenty
one years OF age Her bill will aHege
that she was practically sold 10 Cawley
when a-child. for whom she was forced

a release. The young woman Is prepos-
sessing in appearance. and timid to
degree She has large brown eyes and
an abundance OF dark hair. Reared
under different surroundings, she might
have developed into a very beautiful
woman.
Mrs. Cawley, wife Of the owner Of
Eleanora. has made a statement in
which she denies that the girl was ever
regarded in the light Of a slave. She.
says that the little waif was tenderly
cared for and kindly treated. She
claims 10 have taken the girl in when
a child. for humanity's sake. The case,
however, like all others, has two sides.
That Of the girl has not yet been made
known, except for the paramount fact
that she had been held in peonage.
Rawley is said to have in his possession
affidavits and other evidence which pre-
sent exactly the opposite view to that
presented by the Cawleys.
Neighbors Began Suit.
1t is an interesting fact that the suit
for the girl was first instigated by
neighbours Of the Cawleys. who claim
that they have known of the girl all of
her life and that so far as they have
been able TO determine, she has been
regarded as a slave. Certainly that is
the general belief in the community in
which the Cawieys live. The girl was

Sometimes a sight Of her could be pro-

THE BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, July 23.-Prices in the Boston
wool market are rising. and a correspond
ing withdrawal Of buyers Is noted. The
dealers describe this phase Of trading as a
waiting market" and they say that activ-
ity will be shown as soon as the buyers
and sellers are willing to compromise. Fine
delaine and the best staple territory woods
are attracting the most attention, though
all grades of fine woods are prominent. A
lack of business is particularly noted in the
Ohio and Pennsylvania fleeces. and in the
same class of merchandise from Michigan
and Wisconsin. In the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania list delaine has sold for 1914 cents.
and unwashed delaine at BIN cents. Michi-
gan and Wisconsin three-eighths blood is
quoted at 82h cents, one-Quarter blood at
SO cents bid, and fine around 20 cents.

Walter F. Brown of Toledo, who is here
today and is a strong advocate of the Taft
resolution, insists that the state committee
stands just where it did two months ago
on the question-strongly in favor of the
nomination of Secretary Taft.

quarters telegraphed to the Gallipolis Bull
letin today in answer to the inquiry, lis
there any truth in report that you favor
compromise with the Forakerites?" as fol-
