COULDN'T STAND SHELDON.
Even Lt.-Gov. Woodruff. Trust
Character, Said the Present Trea-
surer of the National Commit
tee, Would Jeopardize the
State Ticket.

George r. Sheldon, treasurer of the
Republican National committee, whose
trust interests are we'll known, was
compelled, under fire, to withdraw
from the New York state ticket in the
fall of 1902 when he was eager to
accept the Office of Lieutenant-G Cover
nor. His connections with the trusts
mated by j. Pierpont Morgan and other
favored trusts, became such an issue
at that time that Governor B. B. Odell
fought against his name being placed
on the ticket. Odell even went so
far as to wire Timothy Woodruff that
he would not run on the same state
ticket with Sheldon. United States
Senator Thomas G. Plat was deter
mined to have Sheldon on the ticket
and informed the Republican leaders
at the state convention at Saratoga
that Sheldons name would remain on
the slate. The wires between the con-
vention city and Albany were kept
hot and, finally, Governor Odell was
compelled to take train for Saratoga
in order to prevent Sheldon's name
from appearing on the ticket Cover
nor Odell went direct to Senator
Platt's home in Saratoga and, after
conference which lasted until 2
o'clock in the morning, Plat yielded
and Sheldon's name was withdrawn
and F. w. Higgins was nominated for
the Office sought by George R. Shell
don.
When 1t was announced that Shell.
don would not be on the ticket three
hundred delegates in front of Platt's
house cheered the glad tidings.
Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff, when asked at
that time why he objected so strongly
to Sheldon, said:
81 have no personal animosity to.
ward Mr.. Sheldon. believe that the
objections that have been raised to
MIN are Of the gravest sort and that
they jeopardize the state ticket
Gov. Odell had this to say day be-
fore Sheldon's name was taken of the
slate:
81 fought against George r. Sheldon
because his business connections I'm.

Experiments in the Marine Hospital
service here resulted in holding the
bothersome house fly again responsible
for spreading disease and it is said that
the bacilli of leprosy may be carried
aud spread by flies which have feasted
upon dead leprous rats. II is clear that
the rat and the fly are doomed, for
both are accused of being purveyors
of some of the most dreadful and
loathsome diseases that are known to
man. DIR. William Wherry of the Marine
Hospital Service has been carrying on his
with regard to leprosy in
various parts of the country and asserts
leprosy is. frequently acquired by flies,
citing the best authorities in confirma-
tion of his theory. The insects gather on
the ulcers of lepers and later bite we'll
persons, or they may gather on rats
which have died from the disease and
carry away on their wings and feet dread
bacilli. After many centuries of medical
investigation it would appear that all the
most effective preventive of disease is not
to be Doughti in the drug stores but at the
hardware stores. for, perfect screening Of
all windows and doors is the only expe.
dent for Kidding ones self of the menace
of flies until some method is found OF
DISCRIMINATING them altogether.

STRANGE
Another Great Conspiracy to be I'm
earthed-Plot Thickens.

For many days strange and uni
accountable movements, which, IN
a community not already in a state
OF unrest would not be suspicious,
have been taking place, indicating
a plot of more significance than it
is easy to imagine. On Monday
four men were seen coming from the
west, one hating at the courthouse,
another at military headquarters.
The other two went quietly down
Washington avenue and into First
street, BY that time the officers
were attracted to their movements
and Immediately an investiga alton
was instituted. The two men, it
was found, had already found a
rendezvous and the others were
coming to Bransford & Andrews to
examine the many beautiful and
valuable articles in jewelry, clocks
tableware, novelties, etc, for TIA
Christmas holidays.

didates for the presidency met
and exchanged compliments,
but the pause in the conflict was
decidedly pleasing, and it should
exercise a wholesome influence.
1t should make even the most
extreme partisan realize that we
are Americans all no matter
what our political preferences
may be.
Reports of the very unusual
experiment are particularly
gratifying because they prove
that 1t was in every respect a
perfect success. There was no
discordant notes. both candi-
dates were received with great
enthusiasm and both did credit
to themselves and to the coun-
try. We comment elsewhere on
the soundness and Importance
of Judge Taft's remarks on legal
reforms, and it should be said
that Mr.. Bryan spoke eloquent
ly and justly concerning what
he called the worlds great prob
lem, the problem, namely, of
the proper distribution of the
rewards of society. From first

was shown was all that could be

 Sympathetic Bartender.
 An old German woman became i'll and was taken by her husband to a hospital fer treatment. The first day she was there when her husband called to inquire about her the doctor said she was improving. On the sec ond day he was again told she was improving. and on the third and fourth days the assurance was the same. This was very encouraging to the old Ger man, but when he called on the fifth day he was told that his wife was dead. In his grief he sought his ia vorite saloon to drown his sorrow. "vat's de matterY' asked the sympa- thetic bartender, noticing his custom. CTS Respondent condition.
 "Ach! My wife iss dead" replied the German.

 There were two books and four magazines, with superlatively good looking, we'll groomed young men and diyinely lovely girls fer the heroes aud herolnes. The story was most inter- ested in had hero like Mir. Brett; but 1t was disappointing In the end, be- cause he married short plump girl with black eyes, and somehow 1t spoiled the realism, as couldn't fancy he would really have cared so dread fully for girl like that Anyway, 1t put me out of the mood for reading any more stories and I began glanc- Ing over the advertisements. At least, glanced at first, but soon I was ab- sorbed; for they were wonderful had never dreamed that there were such kind, thoughtful men in business as the ones who advertised in those fat American magazines so clever, too; they seemed to have spent their whole past lives simply in studying things, so that eventually they could make you happy and save you trouble.
 They lived only for that, those in- credibly nice men. There were photo graphs of some of-them with their ad- vertisements, so that you could know what they were really like and have even more confidence in them than you would if you hadn't seen their style of features. There were two or three whose profies I could never get to feel at home with, even if I had been born with one of them; but the majority were brave, energetic--oh, terribly en- ergetic looking men, as indeed they would need to be if they were really to accomplish all the things they prom ised, not only for you but for the hun dreds of thousands of other people who might be inclined to put them to the test.
 There were things like this in the magazines-all the magazines:

 You are going to have a party, and you are worried. Don't worry Just phone to us and we will arrange everything for you better than you could yourself, with no trouble ts you and your servants"
 There were so many splendid things to have, to wear and to eat advertised in the same kind, fatherly way, that l felt as If had unconsciously yearned for each one of them more than for anything else In my life, and now 1t had been put into my head in all Its fatal fascination.
