Inter-ParIImentary Union.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-two dominant
hotes for peace we're sounded at today's
sitting of the Inter Parliamentary Union.
Emperor William conceded to be the

Gen. Lizard Killed.

London, Sept. 18.-Unable to bear
the accusations that be had murdered
his wife, whose body, shot through
The head, he found in lane ct Sever
Oaks on August "a, Major Geners
Charles Edward Lizard is believed tt
have thrown himself in front of train
on the Southeas ern Railroad at an early
hour this morning and been gtouud tr
! death.
Only yesterday the coroner adjourned
the investigation into the death Of Mr..
Lsurl until September %, with the in.
limston that he expected the arrest o.
the murderer before that date. The &C.
ton was construed as the coro ler's &C.
ceptance of the theory that the general
murdered his wife. General Lizard
spent last night with his friend, Col.
Ward, at Maids,oue. He slipped from
the house unobserved at an early hour
this morning, leaving a note saying that
be was unable to longer TO besr the
strain IF the terrible accusation.
A few hours later his mspgled body
was found. Accident and murder the.
cries we're advanced at first but when
the note was found, these theories were
abandoned andathst Of suicide accepted.
Gen. Lizard was one the most promi-
uent OF Englsnd's retired soldiers. He
and bis wife were out walking August
"a. On the way home the general said
he left bis vile in the lane while he
hurried home. When his wife failed to
arrive within short time, he went in
search Of her and fouud her body, with
bullet wound through the head. Many
theories we're advanced on the murder
but none seemed at all satisfactory. A
few days ago hslf-witted fellow gave
himself up and confessed that he killed
the woman, but his statements were
easily disproved.
General Lizard was SO years old and
had served in South Africa. He sup
pressed the Irish uprising in London
10 1867 and retired from the army with
the rank of major general. His only
son is now on his way home from South
Africa.

Italian Flag Excluded.

Rome. Sept. 1S.-Whst is believed by
clericals in the Catholic church today
to be great triumph for the opponents
of reconciliation between the church
and state and to mark a complete change
in the policy OF Pope Plus X, was the
action of The Swiss guards yesterday 10
excluding the Italian flag from the vati-
can. The flag was carried BY process
sion of Catholics who visited the Vatican
with jubilee gifs for the pope. The
processiorists attempted to carry the
flag ITO the Vatican, bot it was ordered
removed. The processionist, objected
seriously to the Interference, insisting
hat the Italian flag has often been sd-
mitted to the Vatican under the regime
of Pope Plus. The fact that consent
was still refused Is taken to mean that
the pope has changed his policy and that
the opponents of the union of church
and state nov completely dominate him.
Only the tri-colored' flag was excluded
from the VS. tican.

OHILDREN,s HOME.
E Editor Of the Alexandris Gazette:

To the Editor Of the Alexandra Gazette:
Please allow me spsce in your paper
for few words in regard TO the "Child-
ren's Home" of our town, IS so few people
seem to understand the needs In this
home, which Is accommodating 20
children, ranging from l to ii or IL
years. Too much cannot be said In sp-
precision Of the merchants for their do
nstions for the table, but the home has
never been furnished. In fact 1t lacks
comforts. II some would take time to
go through it I am surs we would not
have to appeal 30 often. 1t is in need
of furniture of every kind.
There are two noble women in charge
OF the home, Mrs. Wsterly and Mrs.
Mincb, who do everything for the CON-
fort Of the children as far rs they have
to do with. Just now they are COM
PEELED to have stoves, as they have not
one they can start up this year; they
have given out, and they must have not
less than three; 30 take this means of
appealing to whoever may feel able to
either send the money or stoves, which
will be most gratefully received. They
will add much comfort to the children.
The home in on Duks street.
A WARM FRIEND OF THE HOME.

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. IS. 1903.

hMONG the most ridiculous things OF
the whimsical stage Of republican poliIi'
cal claims ct present prevailing, is the
twaddle of Judge Taft in his efforts to
make it appear that upon bis election
depends the prosperity of this great re-
pablic. and couirswise should Mr.. Bryan
b. the next president dire confusion and
rain gould- lace everyone. The "oig
at ck' has been fl url5htd by the former
r.ugh rider only recently in order 10
make some timid,as well as uniformed,
persons take stock in such ghost stories.
IfMr. Tat or the president imsgines for
one minute that the voters, or the peo'
pie, are to be gulled with any such stnb
they place a much lower estimate upon
the intelligence of people than the
people deserve. We have priesuy ad-
vice as 10 the certain effectiveness oil
fighting the devil with fire, and it ap-
pears that Mr.. Bryan is much OF lhesaue
way Of thinking. On every occasion ne
is striking back 10 words not mi'uDder'
stood, and TAFT, Sherman and Roose-
welt are awake to the fact that while Mr.
Bryan has not accepted the PRESIDENT
advice to "Cpeak softly and carry big
stick" be Is rouDdly scoring this t'ium-
yirate as to the farcical assertion thst
they are the mecca of a peoples hope
and salvation. Mr.. Bryan is net speak
log softly, but in clarion tones is t'llirg
the people what they should do in order
thst "the people should rule" he Is
not carrying big stick, but appears to
have gloves enough, in the Language
of the ring, sufficiently durable to knock
out all pretanders who msy enter the
ring to preach the gospel that Tat, and
Taft only, is both prophet and apostle OF
q nations future.

The republicans Of Maine elected
their candidate for governor on Monday
by plurality OF less than 5000 for the
first time 10 presider tial year for mora
than quarter of century. As COM
pared with the vote Of 1904 the rspub-
licsn vote shows loss of 4 per cent
the democratic vote a gain Of nearly
SO per cent. The tide sets strongly 10
the direction of democratic success.
Should the other stsles go as Maine has
gone the election of Bryan and Kern
would be assured.

THOMAS l.. HIsGEN, candidate OF The
independence party for president, and
William Randolph Hearst addressed
meeting at Memorial Hall, Columbus,
Os:o, lsst night. Mr.. Hearst read
letters which he said had been written
bs John D. Archbod, of the Standard
Oil Company, t. Senator J. B. Foraker,
ofOaio, referring to legislation pending
in Congress sverse to the STANDARD Oil
Company, and mentioning two Enclosures
OF checks 10 Senator Foraker, one Tor
$I5 900 and another for Sl4, 900. Mr..
Hesrsl lt.r read s ie tar written by M'.
Sibley, who was a representative from
Pennsylvanis, from the lower house Of
congress, who Mr.. Hearst said he be-
lieved vas 8 representative of the st'nc-
arr Oil Company. The letter was
written to Mr. Archbold, and relates
how Mr.. Sibey told MIR. Roosevelt that
he should be careful how he offended
the Standard Oil, and that he could not
afford to depend merely upon The sup
port of the people. SibIey's letter con-
cludes as follows:
For the frs. time in my life told
the president some plain, If unpslstsble,
tuths IS to the situation politically, snd
that no man should via or deserve to
win, who depended upon the rsbble,
rather than upon the conservative men
of sffsirs. | don't know as he really
liked sill 1 said, but he thanked me with
apparent hssrtiness.
The above needs but little comment.
The republican perry has been posing
as autBgonistic to Trusts, while the fact
has ever been apparent that this orgsni-
cation has been playing q double game
with the American people. Answers
from Senator Foraker and Messrs Arch
bold and Sibley are awaited with interest.
