Johnson, he said, did not come out as

get the nomination and while he has
made great many friends he has not
enough to hope to get the nomination.

On swaying vast bodies Of men he con-

votes In the end than Bryan.
Bryan, he describes as an excellent
man, personally, and of good charac-

SIX MONTHS FAILURES
Mercantile Death Rate Slowly De-
creaslng to Normal.

Commercial failures In the United
states during the first half Of 1908, ac-
cording to statistics compiled by Dun's
Review, from reports of branch offices
of r. G. Dun & Co. are S,709 in number
and sl24,374,S33 In amount of liabilities.
While this Is most unfavorable COM
parison with the 1907 insolvencies for
s6956S,662 In the corresponding months
of the preceding year, there is much
encouragement In the pronounced i'm
provement OF the latest returns. De-
faults in June compare more favorably
with last years figures than any previ-
GUS month OF 1908, while the record
for the second quarter shows only g.
800 failures with an indebtedness OF
AS,66S642, against 1909 bankruptcies In
the first three months when the
amount involved was SIS, 706, 191--a de-
crease of about one-third. AS the lat
est figures are more representative of
current conditions, 1t is evident that
the mercantile death rate is diminish
Ing, and the outlook for the future
brightens as business conditions be-
come more healthful.

Since the official PRONUNCIATION of

permitted tomorrow night after mid
night there have been received q great
many petitions from the residents of
other sections of the city to have
places that they wished TO build bon
fires on designated as official and al
lowable places also. Chief Cowles OF
the police department end Chief
Fancher of the fire department have
listened to these requests and where
1t seemed safe to do so have granted
them, In addition to the places an
nounced a couple of days ago the fol-
lowing places may be used for bon
fires also; Oak and Broad streets,
Beaver Ponds park, State street dump
at Mil river, Grant and Plymouth
streets and Clinton avenue playground
site.
II Is the desire Of those in authority
to allow as many places as can be
safely done for the celebration of the
Fourth, but whore there are any yio-
lations of the law the police relnfor,-
ed by the number OF extra men who
will be on duty will make arrests in

the premature celebration OF the

WOMAN In THE CASE
Police in Poisoning Mystery
Looking for Two People
in New York.
NO NEARER TO SOLUTION
Wife of Murdered Physician Danger
ously Ill, Suffering from
Shock.

Philadelphia, July 1.-The solution
of the Wilson poisoning mystery In
this city, which the authorities declar-
ed would be made complete to-day.
has not materialized and II Is admitted
that the police are no nearer to an
arrest of the person or persons who
sent the supposed poison 10 DIR. Wilson
In bottle Of ale than hey were on
Monday. Since they first secured
something tangible to work on It Is
admitted that several important things
have developed that may change the
complexion of the case completely. In
the first place the detectives intimate
that woman very probably figured
in the case and II she aan be found
will in all probability De arrested.
Just what this woman may have to
do with the case none will say The
only admission is that they are look
ing for man and woman"
The civil authorities today invoked
the aid of the postal inspectors In the
case TO assist them in finding where
the letter was mailed which DR.. will
son received notifying him that q sam
pie bottle Of ale had been shipped to
him. They have declined to make It
public because to do so would injure
their case, fact which would be plain
ly shown by the letter itself II Is stat
ed that the imitation typewriter letter
was printed by private individual
with an outfit purchased for the pur-
pose and that II is known where the
materials were purchased with which
the work was done. That the persons
who conceived the poison plot were
clever is proved by the stumbling
blocks that have turned up in the path
way OF the authorities.
Whoever sent tho poison knew all
about DR. wilson's life and his habits
The fact that he repaired his own au-
ltomobile and only short time before
the poisoned ale reached him had pur-
chased cyanide Of potassium to be used
in brazing part OF the automobile Is
regarded by the police as significant In
that II indicates the sender OF the pois-
on. which was cyanide of potassium,
considered the possibility Of making II
appear that DR.. Wilson had poisoned
himself either by accident or deeign.
Coroner Jermon says unequivocalIy
that Dr. Wilson did not poison him
self either accidentally or otherwise,
and that is about the only positive in
formation which any OF the officials viii
give.
Mrs. Wilson is dangerously III at her
home suffering from shock
The man whom the authorities are
seeking In the case is reported to have
been seen in Atlantic City to-day.

their triumph the followers OF Mr.

The arrival today however. Of the

and Governor Johnson. the only cand-
dates who are now expected to enter
the race against Bryan. has failed to

ment between them.

they had no intention Of entering into
a coalition with the followers of, Gov
johnson and had not received from
them, or made to them, any overtures
for a combination. The same disclaimer
Of desire to pool issues was made by
the Johnson people after their arrival

Policies Is Fatal Weakness.

Cincinnati, o., July l.--Prase for tho
personality OF william II. Taft, repub-
lioan nominee for president, and criti-
cism for him In that he favors the
Roosevelt policies, formed part OF a

occasion was what has been termed re-

aker declared that the business depres-
sion has been caused by the Sherman

way rate law, and that II was being
continued by the promise of tariff re-
vision. In speaking Of the future, he
referred 20 Mr.. Taft as man who in
character is all that could be desired
and he was interrupted by cheers,
When the applause had ceased ne con-
tinued:
But unfortunately there is one fatal
weakness In the candidate In that he
favors continuance OF the so-callei
Roosevelt policies, OF which we have
already had far too much"

ENGLAND NOT HOSPlTABLE
VIII Not Put Up Funds for Entertain
mcnt Of Olympic Guests.

London, July Lord Desborough, In
behalf of the British Olympic council,
recently has been appealing TO the
British public to subscribe $4,000 for
the purpose OF entertaining the judges
and officials and the $500 foreign ath-
letes who are coming here for the
Olympic games Today however. Lord
Desborough stated that the response
has been so small that the council had
been compelled TO abandon the pro-
posed official reception, excursions and
entertainments, as the British govern
ment provides no fund for such pur-
poses, In contrast, he pointed out, to
the Greek government, which spent
sl2,5Oo at Athens on similar occasion
In 1906.
Lord Desborough said that It is in
credible that n great and wealthy ma.
ton should refuse TO return the hospi-
tally which British athletes have re-

SNOW Tor election
Regarding Johnson's strength in
Minnesota DR.. Northrop said he did
not think he would get so many votes
for president as he did for governor,
but that he was certainly q great vote
getter, and If nominated for the pres
idency he would make Minnesota
North and South Dakota and prob
ably two more OF the northwestern
states much more doubtful than they
now are. Minnesota, he felt, would be
perfectly safe for Taft with Bryan
running, but might be doubtful with
johnson as the democratic nominee.
The Scandinavian pride would be a
big factor, and If they saw man of
their race with q chance for the pres
idency they would stick by him al
though normally their vote is repub-
lican. This helped him some in the
race for the governorship and dissen-
sion Of the republicans also was a
factor, but in such great shifting of
the vote as occurred In each of his
elections the personality and popular
ity OF the man were the greatest ele-
ments. Johnson, however, he said,
would not again be the candidate for
governor He has filled the Office
twice and with great credit carrying
out two excellent administrations and
he is a very popular man in the state.
In the democratic convention the
Minnesota delegation Will, of course,
support Johnson, but DIR. Northrop
states that there are a great many
strong Bryan men in the state and
the instructions for Johnson only
went through after strong fight In
concluding his remarks about Cover
nor johnson he repeated: II do not
think Governor Johnson stands any
chance for nomination this year, but
q should not be at all surprised TO see
him nominated in 1912"
Speaking OF the Hon. William II.
Taft. President Northrop said that
Taft was pre-eminently qualified for
the place OF president OF the United
States. He has had great training,
and wherever he has had anything to
do, In the foreign possessions and in
this country, he has always done IL
beautifully. He has splendid judg-
ment and a fine judicial mind, knows
the law and will carry It out. II pre-
sumo Mr.. Taft will be elected" he
added quietly.
President Northrop IS tho head Of
university which Is larger in num-
Der of students than his alma mater.
Minnesota now has between 4,400 and
$500 students, OF which $500 came
from the state of Minnesota alone. 1t

she was eighty years old, and her
energy was waning. but she never

her answer: Il know. how to forget
disagreeable things. 1 tried to master
the art of saying pleasant things.

/ kept my nerves well in hand and did
not allow them to bore other people.

siens of my youth, and did not believe
every man a liar and every woman
spiteful. l did my best to relieve the
misery with which came in contract,
and sypmathized with the suffering.

would be done by, and you see me in
