CHICAGO, September 25.-Charles N.
Haskell, on the stroke of midnight, re-
signed from the treasurership OF the
Democratic national committee. He
arrived in Chicago tonight at S:47
O'Clock, having ridden q fast hours
through the heat direct from Okla
homa. He came in response to a per-
emptory command from William Jen-

rival here-hours spent in denying he
had resigned, or had been asked to re-
sign-he gave out the announcement
of his withdrawal from the treasurer
ship and active participation in the
Bryan campaign. His first announce
ment was oral.
Have you resigned as treasurer OF
the national committee?" Haskell was
asked at the first rumor that he had.

he said. "The movement has not been
confined to a special class of women.

Women enter all the professions in

The governors withdrawal from the
campaign in which he had cut such a
large figure was announced at mid
night in a formal note addressed to
Chairman Mack.
Candidate Bryan, who will arrive
here at o'clock in the morning from
Terre Haute, will learn at that hour
that his treasurer has acceded to his
demand to get down and out.
The governor did not go to the Dear
born station on the Santa Fe, but
alighted from his train at Thirty-first
street and took carriage thence down
town to the annex. Thus he avoided
the necessity of an immediate repeti-
ton of his hot shot" interview given
out in the morning in Kansas City in
which he called President Roosevelt
a rascal and the biggest four flusher
in the business"
Once in his hotel the Oklahoma gov
ernor held a long conference with
Thomas Owen of Oklahoma, Commit

of the Bryan campaign; P. ]. Doolin,
the governors secretary, and Willis J..

Two fellow members of the national
committee are said to have met the
governors train out on the western
borders of Illinois and to have asked
some question about oil and Citizens

port oil the campaign. They also are
said to have suggested that his career
as the chief Bryan manager should
terminate.

EXERCISE OR DIE.

Every man and woman must do
some muscular work or take equlVa-
lent exercise, else they will die long
before their natural time. And II ones
vocation involves the use OF only one
SET of muscles. work must be found for
the other muscles, else the individual
becomes disproportionate In form, and
eventually prey to disease,
A hod- carrier who Is required to use
nearly all his muscles exerting himself
close to the limit Of his strength Tor
many hours daily, never gives any
thought to artificial exercise, for he has
no need of any. But the professional
man. the clerk, the typist, and the
sales woman-all these find little real
use for the muscles in their daily en-
ployment, and they require to take up
some system Of physical exercise 10
maintain normal health. Their there
are factory operatives and the toilers
In various trades, whose work brings
into play certain sets of muscles, while
others are out of use; these require ex-
ercise adapted to giving employment
to the neglected muscles. There Is also
a class of wealthy people who do no
regular work Of any kind, who require
to follow some strengthening sport IN
lieu of work At the opposite extreme
is a class Of athletes who make bus
mess of artificial exercise and builo
themselves up into mountains of mus
Gle. These almost invariably overao,
and in consequence suffer later.-Met-

THE SHREWSBURY ACCIDENT.

The official report Of Colonel Yorke
on the English railway accident at
Shrewsbury, In which eighteen per-
sons were killed on October Is last,
is remarkable and disquietlng doc
ument The accident, which he de-
scribes as among the worst which
have happened on English railways,
cannot, he thinks, be ascribed to de-
fective machinery or the state Of the
drivers health. But In view Of the
fact that he had been on duty the en-
tire previous night, and had been ont
Of bed during four nights out of six
previous to tho accident, Colonel
Yorke Is Of opinion that he was either
asleep or doing at the moment when
the brakes should have been applied,
and thus overran the danger signals,
The colonel who Is fortified In this
view by the experience Of retired en-
ginemen, suggests, as a means of
guarding against such disasters, that
the duties Of drivers and flremen
should be so arranged that no engine
man could be on duty during the
WnOle OF TWO consecutive nights ne
approves of the suggestion that speed
indicators should be affixed to all loco
motives, and that decorators should
be more extensively used, by day as
we'll as night, and in clear weather as
well rs fog, In order to make II i'm
possible for drivers to pass a danger
signal without receiving a reminder
ftheir position It Is admitted that
the railway companies exercise strict
supervision over drivers Of long dist
ance express trains, and that they in
fict penalties on those who leave
their lodging houses during the time
allotted to rest.
