Too Late for the Rescue.

The New York World is essaying the
role of Diogenes for the Democratic
party with some spirit. but it is likely
that the light in its lantern will flicker
out for lack of oil before its quest is
successful. "A man must be found
and soon,'' declares the World, IF the
Democratic party is to be saved from
falling into the hands of William j.
Bryan as permanent receiver"
And "Marse" Watterson, from his
sanctum in the Blue Grass belt, taking
heed of the Worlds patriotic efforts,
shakes his great head sadly and means,
TOO late; too late"
These two newspapers-the World
and the Courier-Journal Are typical of
their party When Watterson was i'm
ploring Bryan to retire for some other
Democrat whom Watterson had in the
background the World was silent, but
now that Watterson has abandoned all
hope and is prepared to endure another
dose of Organism the World suddenly
comes out of it's trance and out Waiter
sons Watterson in its zeal to rescue
the party from certain disaster. They
do not pull together, but. like team of
Unmatched draught horses. see-saw

POLICE CALL WOMAN SUICIDE.
Officers ut GAINESVILLE Give Up Search
in Malone Case.

Officers Mt GAINESVILLE Give Up Search
in Malone Case.
So convinced is Chief of Police Apple
by that Miss Josephine Malone took her
own life in GAINESVILLE by drowning while
in a melancholy state of mind that no
effort is being made to unravel what has
been called a second Madelyn Clayton af-
fair. Miss Malone was most peculiar at
times, and one of her brothers was treat
ed in sanitarium for mental trouble
Since the drowning of Madelyn Clayton
Miss Malone has continually brooded over
the affair, and recently said: ii one con-
templated suicide the very spot where
Madelyn jumped in is an ideal one" Miss
Malone was a devoted member of ST.
Mary's Roman Catholic church, and her
scores of church friends scout the idea
of suicide. The body was buried at Ed
gerton. Drs. James st. John and James
Gibson found no marks on the body that
would indicate that the woman met vio-
lent death. Miss Malones body was
found in three feet of water near the
shore at the foot of Center street ana di-
rcctly across from where the body of
Madelyn Clayton was found There is
steep bank at this point. The supposition
of the police is that Miss Malone, after
spending the evening at the homo of Mr..
and Mrs. L. Michael Hayes, walked down
Center street into the river On the body
were the dead woman's rings, her pocket
book containing So and some trinkets.
District Attorney Fisher says that no
evidence indicates that the woman met
her death other than by suicide
