and some Of the dukes go so far as to
bring with them their own favorite gun
leaders and royalty is always accompanied
by its private butler. 1t is not overesti-
mating to say that each guest averages
five servants, and the host of a shooting
party Of a dozen guns would, therefore,
not have to provide for twelve, but for
seventy-twO persons.
When the enormous cost of one of these
royal shooting parties is taken into ac-
count. It is not surprising that hosts Of
his majesty calculate that each brace Of
birds will cost him something like $50, and
that in order to get the cost as low as
that. the moors will have to be plentifully
stocked and his guests crack shots.

KILLS CHILDREN,

Frankfort Woman Conn
mits Horrible Crime.
ON LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Cuts Threats Of Little Ones
and Her 0wn-Poverty
the Trouble.

Frankfort Ky, Nov 15.--After almos
severing tAe heads of her two small
children while they slept, so that
they did net make any cutlery as the
sharp blade was drawn across theil
little threats, Mrs. Agnes Leitner cut
her own throat and died few min.
utes later.
After killing heI children and cut
ting her own throat from ear to ear
Mrs. Leitner threw the razor into the
fireplace and staggered into the nJ5m
of the woman with whom she boarded
She was gasping for breath, but man
aged to articulate a faint cry for as
sistance, She was de1d before sht
could do anything but nod her head
in answer to the question. Did You
do it?"
The triple tragedy was enacted this
afternoon between and O'Clock at
humble home In a suburb of Frank
fort known as Thorn HILL The peo-
pie who lived there were poor. The
dead woman, her two children and
her husband had only one room of
the house, which was owned by VIM.
Long and occupied by him and his
family.
John Le'tner, the husband, is a
glassblower and has not had employ
ment for several months until the
last two weeks, on account of the clos
ing down q tire glass factory where
he made good wages when at work.
Dependency over the familys fl
nancial condition is thionght to have
deranged Mrs. LeitneF's mind. II is
thought that she feared that, with win
ter coming on, she would net be able
to give the children the necessities of
life, and rather than see them suffer
she killed them.
The little cnes-the boy-George, 6
years of age, and the girl, Clara,
years old-were asleep, the one at the

foot. They We're taking their after
noon nap and closed their eyes never
to open them again after kissing the
the mother who slew them. How size
did it and which she killed first,
or whether the listening child awoke
after the murder of the first, is not
known.
Mr.. and Mrs. Long were sitting in
an adjoining room and heard not \
sound, although they were perfectly
quiet themselves. The murders must
have been committed so quickly that
neither child knew that death was
near. and passed from the sleep of
life into the sleep of DEATH without
knowing 1t.

BRYAN THANKS
LABOR LEADERS
Letter to Gompers Read
At Convention.
AMENDMENT TO SHERMAN LAW
Will be F0ught-IntereSting
Address at the Annual
Convention.

Denver, Col, Nov. 14.-At the close
of the session of the twenty-eighth
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor, President Samuel
Gompers, in thanking the speakers of
the day, said that he had heard since
coming to Denver that it was intend
ed by the present session of Congress
to pass a bill amending the Sherman
antitrust law in a way detrimental t)
the labor movement. He said if such
an attempt was made he would fight
it In the halls of Congress.
At the request of Mr.. GCmpers, the
secretary then read a letter from Will
liam J. Bryan, in which. he thanked
President Gompers and the other
members Of the Federation for tue
support given him during the recent
Presidential campaign.
With the exception Of two reports
made at the morning session, the en-
tire day was spent in listening t.
reports, fraternal and other addresses.
The first speaker of the afternoon
session was the Rev. Chas Steizle SUI
perintendent of immigration board
Of the home mission of the Presby-
terian church Of New York. He took
for his sui ect The Parallel Aims Of
the Church and the Labor Party"
Mrs. Raymond Robbins and Mrs.
Anna Fitzgerald, representing the
Woman's Trade Union League, ad-
dressed the convention, telling the del
egates of the organized movement
among the women. Mrs. Robbins said
theyleague consisted of four branches,
one each in Chicago, New York, Bos-
ton and st. Louis. She said they were
trying to teach concerted action to
the women.
Mrs. Fitzgerald spoke Of the part
women can take in the labor movement
by insisting that the union label is
On all their purchases. The league is
now endeavcring to organize the wU-
men in the homes.
Andrew Furezeth read the report of
the Federation delegates to the forty
ninth British Trade Union Congress,
which declared that in England wo-
men and children are being pitted
against men in all lines of industry,
and that many of the English working
men oppose the tariff because they
think it would increase tie cost Of
living. He read an invitation to Sam
uel Gompers to attend the next Brit
ish congress. ..
Raymond Robbins, of Chicago, spoke
briefly, urging the necessity of organ
izing all lines of labor.
President James Lynch, Of the In
ternational Typographical Union, WAS
then called upon, and told the con-
vention the history of the establish
ment of the union printers home Mt
Colorado Springs. He said that it
now costs about $4,000 a year to
the institution.

WILL YET COME
INTO ITS OWN
So Says Bryan of SOver-
eign Democracy.
WHAT DEMOCRACY DEMANDS
He Will Keep Step With the
Great Common People
And March On.

Declaring the Democratic party can
not die and has accomplished more
out of office in the last twelve years
that theRepublican party has in office,
w. ]. Bryan bids his supporters not
despair In the current issue Of his
Commoner, he speaks Of the election
results and discusses the future He
says:
THE election Of 1908 is over and the
returns disclose a signal victory for
our opponents, but the principles for
which our party stands, the policies
for which our party. contends, these
are not dead.
Does any one believe the Ameri-
can people will permanently permit
secrecy as 10 campaign contributions?
Does any one believe the consumer
people will permanently permit tho
will of the voters to be thwarted as
it is now by the election of Senators
through Legislatures? Does any one
believe the trusts will be permitted
permanently to exploit the masses?
Does and one believe the consumer
will permanently permit the tariff 10
be written by the beneficiaries of
that tariff? Does any one believe the
public will permanently tolerate an
estrangement between labor and capt.
tai? Does any one believe $4,000, 900
of depositors will forever permit their
savings to be jeopardized as at pres
ent? Does any one believe the ex-
travagance Of government will 90 on
forever unchecked? Does any one be-
lieve our Republic will permanently
consent TO a colonial policy with its
humiliations and its financial bur-
dens?
During the last twelve years the
Democratic party has accomplished
more out of office than the Republican
party has accomplished in office, and
this is a sufficient reward for those
who fight for the righteous cause. 1t
would have been pleasant to have
been able u reward Worthy Democrats
looking for good government, and they
labor unseiishly for the promotion of
good government
