APPLAUSE FOR HUGHES.
Carnegie Hall Audience Cheers Gov
 ernor's Address on Bettina, <

S'HNi Ndotooo VI DChtiU9s
 New York, May Challenging his foes and beseeching his friends to stand unfinchingly by him, Governor Hughes stirred more than 5000 men and women in Carnegie hall to such q high pitch of enthusiasm that they jumped from their seats and cheered themselves hoarse.
 Every hand in the house applauded his strong declaration of principles on the race track gambling question, and when one man shouted in burst of fervent enthusiasm, We want you for our next governorv' the cries came from floor to roof No, no! We want you for our next president!' l
 The demonstration encouraged the governor in his fight against the agents of the race track interests in the legis- lature, coming as it did from his neigh bors in his own home city and from business men and churchmen. Start ing in humorous vein, the governor became vigorously earnest as he pro ceeded, and his voice rang through the big house as he hurled defiance at his political enemies in rapid fire sentences.
 Il would rather be before the people in an effort to bring to pass the abeli- ton of this iniquity, the Percy Graz law, and witness this demonstration of a desire to maintain honest repre- sentative government than hold any of- flee in the gift of the people," said the governor in strong, deliberate tones.
 The governor also addressed the Methodist Social union at dinner in the Hotel Astor on the same topic. By rising vote those present expressed the unanimous sentiment of the gathering in favor of supporting the governor.

SPECIALIST FOR CLEVELAND.
Authority on Stomach Diseases With
 Ex-President at Lakewood.

Lakewood, N. J., May 5.-When Dr. Joseph B. Bryant, former President Cleveland's friend and medical adviser for the past twenty-five years, return ed to New York city after having been in the sickroom several days, he left in his stead Dr. c. Rowe Lockwood of New York, who is the consulting phy- sician in the case. Dr. Lockwood will remain at the patients bedside until Dr. Bryant returns on Thursday or Friday.
 Dr. Lockwood is recognized as one of the greatest authorities on stomach diseases in the country. He has a very extensive practice and is a very busy man. The fact that he would leave the city to stay indefinitely with MT. Cleveland is considered significant. When local physicians learned that pr. Lockwood was in attendance, they said MT. Cleveland's case must necessarily possess unusual complications to re- quire his services.

'H|NDUS IN FERMENT,
British Government Worried by
 Threatened Revolt.
TROUBLE ON AFGHAN BORDER
Troops Fastening to Front to Check Movement of Hostile Tribesmen-Na- tive Conspiracy Throughout Hindu stan Against Alien Rulers.

London, May 5.-The serious news regarding the Indian frontier situation adversely affected consols as well as Indian stocks on the Stock Exchange.
 India is source of considerable un, easiness to the British government at the present moment. The difficulty with the Mohmands seemed on the eve of settlement when on Saturday, ac- cording to reports received here, a new !, danger threatened, an attempt made by large Afghan force, numbering from 13.000 to 10000.
 This force crossed the border, divided into two bodies and attempted to seize the blockhouses in Kyber pass, near Landikhotal. ......
 The attacks were repulsed with tri- fling casualties on the part of the Brit ish, but the Afghans remained in front of Landikhotal, and another body is reported moving into Bazar valley by way of Lisote pass. ".-
 Troops Hurried to Front.
 General Wilcocks, who is in com- mand of the British forces recently dis patched to quell the trouble, has gone to Jamrud, fort ten miles west of Peshawar, at the entrance of Khyber pass, and is hastening forward his troops to meet the new development. All frontier telegrams are severely cen sored at Simla
 hA ysef Al to the serious Indian news, generally agree that as yet there is no cause for alarm or for grave anxiety, if, as is hoped, the ameer is not directly respon- sible for the attitude of the Afghan border tribes, but they point out that until the ameer's attitude is definitely known it behooves the government to be alert and prepared for eventualities.
 Dispatches received indicate that the native conspiracy disclosed in India is of an extensive and grave character.
 The discovery was made through the arrest and confession of the author of the bomb outrage in Mozufferpur, the capital of the province of the same name, in Bengal, in which two Euro peans were killed.
 Unrest Among Natives. '.
 Ail the recent news from India indi- eates that concerted revolt against English rule is being preached by na- tive teachers and has aroused a genu- inc feeling of unrest. which may break out into open warfare at almost any time
 General Lord Kitchener. against whose life the plot was aimed. distin- guished himself by his remarkable service in the .Boer war in South Af- rica. and he also had long and bril- liant career in Egypt. He was deco rated by the English crown for his services under General Lord Roberts and recently was sent to India to com mand the forces there.

DIES IN SUICIDE PACT
Young Man Found Dead a Mem.

TOKENS DISCOVERED ON BODY
Watched Every Mail For Notification That His Time to Kill Himself Had Come-Believed Death the Portal of Happiness.

Come-Believed Death the Portal of
 Happiness.
 Muskegon, Mich, May 5.-That Her man De Kruyter, the young man whose corpse was found under side walk last Monday night, was mem Der of the Black Veil Suicide society was established beyond any reason able doubt When the body was found, after five weeks search, a black silk veil, gloves and stockings of the same hue and material were found on De Kruyters person.
 On three previous occasions De Kruyter tried self destruction, all since he worked in Chicago two years ago. Each time his attempts were featured by stockings, gloves and veil as part of his would be death ward robe. His parents confronted him with the fact that he was member of the society that originated in New York and branched out to Chicago two years ago. He maintained absolute silence. He received small package few days before each attempt, and three days before he disappeared to hang himself the fatal package came.' On one occasion the sender of the package was traced by his family and proved to be, so the family said, Chicago firm. Only after threats did the firm reveal the fact that they sent the arti- cles.
 Watched Mail For Death Sign.
 De Kruyter never talked of the sO- ciety, but his family say they have found out after continued searching that five girls committed suicide in Chicago within week not long ago. They say the members were banded together in death pact never to re- veal the secret and to die when their number came by mail. De Kruyter would watch every mail that came to his home before he died.
 Members of the society believed death was the transition of the body to a state of perpetual happiness. and all the members when they fulfilled the death pact went to a happy home, something after the order of the In- dian's happy hunting grounds. The members did not fear death in its most hideous forms, rather they invited it and looked upon it as earth's greatest pleasure,
 Mir. and Mrs. De Kruyter, parents of the suicide, will spare neither time nor expense in an effort to trace down the society headquarters.

THE MIDDLEMAN.

To the Editor Of The Republican, Sir:
 In answer to the gentleman that sent the letter to last Sundays Repub- lican and signed the piece "A COnsum- er," regarding how high vegetables and fruit were here, seemed to think the farmers are entirely responsible for the high prices. While they receive a fair price for their stuff. it is not un- reasonable. The middleman is the one who makes the consumer pay so high for his fruit and vegetables.
 The writer took vegetables to a grocery store and sold them. In few minutes another clerk came around. asked the price of some beans I had just sold. He asked just three times as much as they gave me for them.
