to Bear Fruit.
New York, June 3.-Reports Of
frightening financial and industrial
outlook reached this city from variou.
quarters, and although no swift re
turn of prosperity was suggested
there was considerable evidence that
/ the 'giye-us-a-rest" campaign is al
ready having a reassuring effect.
The arrival of twenty buyers from
one st. Louis dry goods house was one
fact which the dry goods houses of
this city considered an unusually
favorable sign. In presidential year
and following a period of hard times
this rush to buy is regarded as sig
nificant.
The news that nearly 10000 men re
turned to work In st. Louis. after hav
ing been out of jobs for several
months, was another indication of the
returning confidence in the west. An
other sign Of the success of the Ma
tional Prosperity association in OBJ |
tanning an industrial revival was th'
ordering of S5,000.000 worth OF ma I
terials and goods in the last few days
by st. Louis companies in an effort
10 stimulate trade throughout the coun
Try. There was favorable news from

MARTIAL MORTALS.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
copyrlght. l90s. b Edwin A. &c.

The human race is a brave race.
1t is proved by the fact that 1t con
tinues to live. While 1t requires brav
cry to die. it requires more bravery to
live. And humanity is so stout hearted
it fights the battle of life so long as it
can fight Occasionally a tired. sick
hearted one surrenders, but he is the
exception.
Humanity is brave.
Men and women daily face conflicts
that might we'll daunt the intrepid
gods. Think you because they go
about with smiling faces there are no
tasks that test all their fortitude. no
sorrows that must be courageously
borne?
Humanity is brave.
Here is one fighting to keep in sub
lection his lower nature. Think Of the !
duels he fightsl Who knows the striv-
ings of his defeats, the gallantry of
his victories? He is a brave man, as
brave as ever couched a lance in rest
against a foe. And here is one who
tackles the wild beasts in the arena Of
business competition and one who
struggles with a great sorrow.
Humanity is brave
This woman faces poverty and limi-
tations, or anxiety. or pain. strain on
nerve or sympathy. An archange
might well shudder to undertake the
whole gamut of suffering that comes
With wifehoOd and motherhood And
here is no shrinking. Woman dies and
gives no sign Woman lives and smiles
n the front of Fate!
Humanity is brave :
In this strenuous life of ours the real
len and women sleep each night as !
he soldier sleeps-on the battlefield
nd reveille wakes each martial NOR
Il to daily battle-some to fight the
BOD fight with hands and some with
rains and some with hearts. Look
bout you. Is it not true? You NAV
zen see some who are fighting with =

Yes. humanity is brave. =.
But it needs to repeat daily the r
aver of Robert Louis Stevenson:
The day returns and brings US the p

S. Help rs to play the man; help u
to perform them with laughter and A

Philadelphia, June 8. - political

was caused by the issuing of a war
rant for Senator James P. McNichol,
the Republican leader, on a charge OF
criminal libel preferred by Max Kauf.
mann. secretary to Mayor Reyburn
Kaufmanns action followed the making
public of a letter written to Secretary
ID. Clarence Gibboney, of the Law and

the fall Of 1905, with the understand
ing that Gibboney was to raid gam

credit the administration of Mayor
John Weaver.
The developments which promise to
provide sensational food for gossip In
political circles for some time to come
followed utterances made by Senator
McNichol at a banquet last week, in
which he told Of having paid with 9th

In compliance with that request tn
Senator McNichol sent letter to the al

Fred Brown Denies Having
Killed Fred Chappell
KILLING WAS COwARDLY
Three Bullet Wounds in Back and Head
Of Victim, Whose Body Was Found
Saturday Night in Town in
Northern New Hampshire.

Colebrook, N. H., Dec. 14--Fred
Brown was arrested today for the muir
der of Fred chappell, farmer Of the
little town Of Pittsburg, whose body
was found Saturday night in lonely
place. There were three bullet wounds
in the back and head. II is alleged
that Chappell was attentive to Browns
wife. Brown denies killing Chappell.
An investigation was started yes
terday into the murder of NChappell. The
fatal shots were heard by Chappeil's
father, who lived with him, and who
was the first person to discover his
sons lifeless body. Footprints leading
from the highway through the woods
gave the officers a clue.
Chappeli was about 40 years Of age
married, and had son and daughter.
For come time he had lived apart from
his wife, who is at present in Boston.
The daughter, about 6 years old, is at
her fathers home, while the boy, who
is year or two younger, lives with
his mother.

HAMS TRIAL OPENS;
JURERS BEING EXCUSED
The Defendants Senior Counsel Was Alb
sent To-day, and the Start of
the Case Jagged consid-
arahtv

Flushing, L. l., Dec. l4.-Thornt0n j.
Hams trial opened to-day before Justice
Crane with 205 talesnen in attendance.
Because John y. Mcintyre, senior coun-
sci for the defense, was absent this
morning, the session was devoted to
hearing the excuses Of jurors. Hams will
be brought from the Long Island City
jail and viii make the trip daily.
Hams is being tried as an accessory to
the murder of William Il. Annis, mag
azine writer, who was shot at the Bay
side Yacht club last summer by the de-
fendant's brother, Capt. Petar g. Hains,
y. s. A., stationed at Fort Hamilton. Ii
is charged that Thornton Hains, armed
with q revolver, waved back a crowd Of
club members as Annis, who was step
ping out Of his catboat, was fired upon
five times.
Counsel for the Hains brothers, who
viii set up the defense OF temporary
insanity in the trial of Captain Hains,
which will follow that of his brother.
have indicated that the defense Of Thorn
ton Hams will be that one may not be
held as an accessory to the act Of an
other who is temporarily insane. The
chief issue in the captains trial, it is
expected, will therefore be threshed out
at this trial. It win be asserted, It is
said, that disclosures regarding the al
legged conduct OF his wife and Annis had
driven Captain Hains into mental ire
sponsibility, and that Thornton could not
be made to share the responsibility for
the act of a msdman. Judge Frederick
Crane of the supreme court viii hear the
case. District Attorney Ira Darrin and
special prosecutor Elmer White will ap-
pear for the state and John r. Mcintyre,
former assistant district attorney Of
New York county, assisted by Joseph
Shay, will represent the defense.
This is the second time that Thornton
Hains has faced a jury under charges of
murder. In 1891, while canoeing with a
boyhood chum. Edward a. Hannigan, off
Fortress Muuroe, he became involved in
a quarrel in which Hannigan lost his life.
Hains was seen from shore to reach to
the bottom of the boat and raise i re-.
yolver from which two shots were fred.
Hannigan used paddle in the quarrel.
One of the witnesses at the trial was
Rear Admiral Robley Evans. A plea
OF self defense resulted in verdict Of
aequittal.

BODY FOUND ON TRACKS.
Victim Mangled in Bowdoinham, Me-,
Mtrder Suspected.

Bowdoinham, Me, Dec. 1.-The
body Of man was found Sunday
strewn for two miles along the tracks
of the Maine Central railroad. Marks
Of struggle in the snow near where
the first part Of the body was found
and pool Of blood beside rail led
to the belief that the man was MUIR
dered. There were no means Of iden-
tifcation upon the body except q plain
gold band ring, which was unmarked.
A new pair of overshoes was found near
the body Footsteps in the snow show
that another man was with the VIC
tim.
Near where the frst part Of the body
was found and opposite the pool Of
blood was a space about fifteen feet in
diameter which showed signs Of
scufiie in which at least three men must
have participated, and possibly a wo
man A hat which probably belonged
to the victim was also found. A bull

manner Of mis- death.

TWO BUILDINGS FALL
FROM BOMB EXPLOSION
Several Persons Are Believed to Have
Been Killed in Chicago Last Night
MANY Audiences in
Panic.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-two buildings were
wrecked, several persons are believed to
have been killed and windows were shat
tered for block around by the terrific
explosion Of bomb in an alley In Wa.
bash avenue near sixteenth street last
night.
The wrecked buildings adjoin the Co
liseum, where the first ward Democratic
ball, an annual revcl, against the holding
OF which this year much opposition had
been made, is scheduled to be held to-
night. The police are working on the
theory that the bomb thrower designed
TO frighten people from going TO the
Coliseum, and thus prevent the ball.
The report OF the explosion was heard
for mile. The congregations Of Grace
Episcopal church, adjoining the Coliseum,
and Of the Open Church, block away,
and guests Of several nearby hotels,
rushed to the streets excitedly. A two
story frame building in Wabash avenue
collapsed and took fire. The fire leaped
across a vacant lot and spread to another
frame building, which was also wrecked.
Properties Of the Coliseum stored in the
two buildings were fuel for the flames
II was reported that two men had en-
tered one OF the buildings a short time
before the explosion, but the police and
fremen have found no bodies in the
ruins.
Another theory is that the bomb was
thrown as another demonstration in the
gamblers war;" which has been marked
by the firing Of series Of bombs, in
the vicinity Of alleged gambling places,
said to be favored by the police, TO the
detriment Of the bomb throwers, whose
places have been closed.
The first ward ball has long been
source Of contention between rsformers
and the promoters of the annual festival.
Recently the pastor of Grace Episcopal
church sought and failed to get an In
junction to prevent the holding OF the
ball on the ground that it was prejudicial
to the morals of the community.
