MIR. DONACHEY'S
 VERSION OF IT
He Tells of the Meeting With Governor X. 0.
 Pindall.


 for governor, yesterday gave out the following statement in a telegram to the Gazette concern ing what happened between him and Governor Pindall Monday noon, when 1t was reported that l Governor Pindall was leaving his office to go to the Senate chamber to preside over the Sen ate, but was stopped by Mr. Donaghey.
 Replying. to your inquiry as to what was said by myself to Governor Pindall, when the Sen- ate was adout to convene last Monday. It was about F clock, the exact time for the Senate to convene, when 1 was entering the outer door of the Governors reception room, which is directly in front of the Attorney Generals office. There l met Governor Pindall with number of friends coming out.
 Governor Pindall looked at me and asked: What do you say about it?'
 '1 said, About what??'
 He said, About my going to preside over the Senate.
 T replied: Don't think of such a thing; don't do it.
 He immediately turn ed and walked into his office, as did the other gentleman with him. As we all walked back, some one in the party addressed me and said that 1 was giving Pindall bad advice, and that 1t was costing him the governorship to follow it. In reply to this 1 said that it would be some time before he would have to surrender the Job, but that even if the price of his action were to loose his office, he couldn't afford to aban- don the dignity of that office for a few months tenure of it. l also observed that the people demanded this position to be ad- hered to and they would never forget those who had complied with their wishes. 1 maintained that the question of what course Governor Pindall should pursue had already been decided on in a caucus at the time he decided to issue his proclamation revoking Governor Hamiter's call for the legislature to meet and that he could not, under existing condi- tions, reverse himself on that issue.
 This discussion was in the governors presence, but not with him. He said not a word in re- monstrance, but accepted that view with apparent composure.
 Il did not say to him, as re- ported, Be a man or a mouse. My appearance there at that mo- ment was accidental. l had not advised or considered any action different from this for Governor Pindall to follow, so far as my counsel went.
 l (Signed) c. W. DoNAGHEY. /"
 Yesterday Guy B. Tucker, Rudy Copeland. J. E. Martineau, Roy D. Campbell and Paul Little signed a statement to the effect that the statement of w. R. Jones of YellVille concerning the same occurrence was substanti- ally correct. Mr. Jones said that Governor Pindall did not intend to go to the Senate chamber, but instead was looking for MT. Don aghey when he met the democrat ic nominee at the doorway and further said that Mir. Donaghey did not say to the governor, Be ] a man nr a mouse '

AN ISSUE THAT CUTS SHARPLY.

In it's meeting at Bryan's country place near Lincoln the Democratic na- tional committee made a telling cam psign issue with the Republican man. acers by declaring that the Demo- cratic party will not accept contrlDu- tjons from corporations, that no con- tribution of more than $10,000 will be accepted from any source. ana that every contribution of more than $l0o will be made public before the cleo ton.
 Treasurer George R. Sheldon of the Republican national committee. has ostentatiously proclaimed that contri- buttons to the Republican campaign fund will be as cordially welcomed from corporations as from individuals. It makes no difference to him where the money comes from. The Repub- lican party needs money to be used in improperly influencing politics dur ing the campaign, and he will take IL from any source.
 Mr Sheldons standards of political morality are quite as high as those of other Republican leaders and cam paign managers. He does not see the impropriety of using in politics the money of a corporation which by it's charter can lave neither political principles nor the right to vote.
 Mr. Sheldon and the other Repub- lican managers do not see the palpable dishonesty of accepting from directors of corporations money of stockhold- CTS which they have not voted for po- litical uses In their view the manlpu- lating corporation manager is every thing. the property rights of the indi- viduaI stockholder nothing.
 In it's platform and through the ac- ton of it's national committee the Democratic party has made for itself a higher code of political and business morality. The code will stand, not for this campaign only nor for the Democratic party alone. It is so emi- nently right that it will before long be the only code tolerated It will be the law of the land from one end of the country to the other.
 The list of contributors to the Dem ocratic cause, to be published before the election, will be roll of honor in which any good citizen may well be proud to see his name printed. The legitimate expenses of presidential campaign are necessarily large, and no one who believes that the Demo- cratic party is right need be ashamed 10 contribute in any way that he can to it's success
 A new era in America politics has been opened at Fairview. Now let us see what the Republicans are going to do about it-St ksuis Republic.

A Cincinnati dispatch to the New York World says that two of the cam. paicn choruses sung at the Taft noti- fcation meeting, were as follows: He's no Billy Bryan fakir, We'll have it understood. When hes asked 10 show his hand He always has the goods. Hes q great big man, don't you ever

 And never dare to look on the face of any true man or woman? No, no!
 Frantically she has broken from his arms: she is running towards the torch, desperately hoping to snatch 1t from the hands of the satyr holding it ready to apply it to the fue.
 After one unsuccessful step 10 over take her swift feet, Danella cries saw agely: Fire the mine."
 Enrico, the fuse in one hand, the blazing torch in the other, is applying the flame to 1t.
 There is sharp whif of the still night air like the faint snap of dis tant whip and the man with the scar falls, as if struck from Heaven.
 "Diayolo. what mystery is this? My self to light the fuse!" cries Cipriano, and runs to the fiambeau faring on the ground.
 But Marina, her eyes baneful with agony, mutters: T am a Corsican," and as he picks up the torch, the des- perate girl sezes him with her deli cate hands and struggles with him frantically.
 But her slight strength is naught 10 that of his wiry frame. Danella picks up the torch. Take your choice he whispers. The Englishman lives and your are my mistress; he dies, and you are my honored wife"
 He is holding her down with one knee pressed on her. He is moving the torch slowly to the fuse; he Is giving her chance to save the life she loves by despairing surrender-he Is giv-

Orchestra Leader Misread Request fer
 Schubert's Serenade.

While dining at one of the hotels re gently Washington girl said to her escort. 'I wish that orchestra would play Schuberts 'Serenade. All we've got to do is to have the waiter tell the orchestra leader" said the man. But you'd better write it. The waiter will be sure 10 get the message wrong if you don't" So on the back of an envelope the young woman wrote, in a beautiful angular hand her request for Schuberts "Serenade," and told the waiter to take 1t to the leader. The waiter was gone long time. but at last he appeared with a foamlng beaker. Tt took some time. he said apologetically. T understood you to tell me the message was for the orchestra leader, so took it to him. He read what you wrote and then laughed and told me to carry the order to the bar. for that was the pace to get a seltzer lemonade" And angular writing had scored another triumph

Wild Ones All Descended from Thoss
 Once Domestcsted.

All the honey bees in this country having originally been imported from Europe or Aisa, there is no racial diff ference between the wild ones and the domesticated those that live in trees are simply the descendants of those that from time to time have taken French leave from their owners hives and reverted to state of na- ture. The vast bulk of the wild bees are of the German or black race. while the standard domesticated bee is the Italian; but that, however, is only be- cause the Germans were the first to be introduced here. Just when the Germans came is in doubt, but it was some time in the seventeenth centu- ty; certainly it was not until near the close of the eighteenth century that any bees were found west of the Mississippi. The Indians used to say they could mark the advance Of the white man by the appearance of bees in the woods. The Italian bees were first imported in 1860. Better temper cd and more industrious than the Ger mans. they have become popular with apiraists but as many still keep the German bee. and others have the hy' brid formed by the crossing of the two races. while countless Italians now have taken to the woods, there to breed more hybrids, 1t is clear that there is no sure way of distinguishing between the wild bee and the domesti cntod -OntinC MaraZine

ing himself just one more chance to loathes him-when, even as the flame is licking the fuse, another whiff rends the atmosphere, and from d spot mid way between his longing eyes spouts something that is red in the torch flame. and with one shrill scream, "Morte," Cipriano, springing high in the air, falls stark dead beside Ma rinas prostrate form.
 The detective and Edwin are thun- de.ing at the tower door Marina stag gers to it, with great effort turns the key and lifts up the steel bars. and stands faintly leaning against the stone masonry as Edwin. springing out, catches her in his arms.
 What did it? What wondrous thing wrought our deliyerance?" he asks be tween kisses that make the girl wife think she is in heaven.
 By gum, was it lightning?" asks the detective. scratching his head. Then hearing a cry he runs down the chasm ard moves the swinging bridge into place across the crevice.
 Over this comes Mir. Barnes, leisure ly walking, humming the sweet roman tie tune the minstrels are sending up from the distant sea.
 Locking at the two dead men, To- masso. in his old-time Corsican way is saying solemnly: "'Tis the hand of God,'
 But Marina. running to the Ameri can, cries: T know the hand of God"" and sinks down uttering bless ines on the great pistol shot.

Barnes doesn't answer, but says moodily: Then I've got to find Enid. My horse is inst on the other side of the creyice.'
 But you are too tired"
 I'm never too tired to find my best girl" says tSe poor worn-out fellow. trying to be cheerful, and steps down toward the bridge.
 But from distance . pretty feminine voice is heard crying excited ly: This is the way to the explosion, young Signore Bellacoscia."
 Then Barnes voice rings, really happy for the first time in twenty-four hours: Enid, that you? This way It, tie girl. Look out for the crevice," and his long sought for bride comes can- tering across the bridge followed by two young bandits, who announce themselves as Conrad and Rodrigo Bonelli. The next second Enid has been lifted in Barnes arms from the saddle
 Where have you been all this time?' he asks eagerly.

 And where were you two nights ago when l was seeking you there?'
 T was asleep at Saliceti's home un- der the influence of narcotic. Oh, mercy, don't look at me so," stammers Enid. Il was beneath the care of Sali- ceti's mother
 Asleep under narcotic?"
 Yes; when they were planning the ambush for you, struggled so that Saliceti and his men forced an ano- dyne down my throat. When l became conscious, they told me that when the great Bellacoscia demanded my sur render Bernardo was afraid to ex. plain to him, and some other woman was substituted for me. But when Salceti learnt that Bonelli for his de- ceit had declared against him a ven- detta that meant his certain death. he
 
 and surrendered me to him. Where upon, with many kind words, Bonelli sent me to his dear friend, Monsieur Barnes, of New York, the celebrated pistol shot"
 "Oh, the most divine pistol shot upon earth" calls Marina, running out and embracing him. By his skill. Burton has killed the man whose life forever would have been menace to us" Then gazing at Barnes, she laughs: And l supposed you happy for the last twenty-four hours. You re- member l left you going up to your wife's chamber in Bocognano."
 Going up to my chamber in Bocog' nano?' almost yells the young English bride. 'I cannot understand; was asleep under opium in charge of Sali- ceti's mother"
