painful experience Of John Moore. a

then tumbled over to the sidewalk,
while a physician, who had witnessed
his thrilling fall. rushed to his aid.
Moore is employed bv Lyman and

An event that's not scheduled to deh-

mittee on arrangements sometime ago in
vited United States Senator Thomas p.
Gore. the blind senator. from the young
state Of Oklahoma Only yesterday Mr.
snelienburg of the comittee received a
letter from the senator which IS char
acteristic Of the man. It reads as fol

UNITED States Senate,
'sWashington, d. c., April "a. 1908
'David snenenburg. Wilmington, Del.
my Dear Sir: I have the honor TO
acknowledge receipt of your invitation 10
attend the banquet of the Mercantile As
sociation, April sOth, and beg you to ac-
cent my cordial thanks for the same. II
has been my desire to visit your great and
growing city. and 1 should be pleased 10
avail myself Of this oportunity, If pos
sible. 1 am not sure that I can do So
however, and cannot. therefore. definitely

announced II I find 1t possible to do so.
with best wishes for the success OF
the occasion, beg to remain
Every truly yours.
ct. P. Gore.
s'U. S. Senator from Oklahoma.
Senator Gore is making enviable record
for himself in Washington. He is
sneaker of considerable force and elood-
ence. and his speeches are listened TO
with rapt attention by the members OF
the senate. The Senator is a wonderful
man. He writes all his speeches on the
typewriter unaided. and it is said That
his sightless eyes are no barrier to ms
work as senator. He is much sought after
as a speaker. and as he eschews all cere-
nony, often dropping into places unan-
nounced, there is every likelihood of the
Senator attending the banquet. It is said
that he does not look with favor upon
Bryan's candidacy for the Presidency but
would not be adversed to Judge Gray. The
Senator, when travelling is usually accom-
panied by Mrs. Gore, but he often starts
out alone. Recently he went to New York
unaccompanied and spoke at banquet
there. transacted some business. and re-
turned safely. The committee feels that
the Senator will just drop in" Thursday
