writer in the Detroit Free Press, that
the pictorial artist should pay just j
little attention to truth and nature. Now
there is a picture in certain Detroit
art store before which for some time
past little crowd has fingered to ad-
mire. The subject matter is excellent.
There is 4 barnyard, with the usual ac-
compartment of hens and ducks. A
dog sits on the step of the corncrib,
and in the immediate foreground
stands a pretty speckled bosey.
"A pictorial dairy maid is milking
bossy. She is charming creature, the
dairy maid. Her hands are not big and
coarse; her knuckles are not swollen.
and her fingers do not resemble dill
pickles. She is just daisy dairy maid
but, saints alive! she's on the wrong
side of the COW.
"Nonchalantly she sits on the left OF
the animal and milks, milks, milks-
She looks, the while, around the land

minutes. Her head would be kicked

as the waiter was concerned, for he

Miss Morton became thoroughly

some way that the order could be COM

The old darby moved over to her with

Clover Supports Alexander


Samuel T. Glover, editor of the
Graphic, is supporting George Alexan-
der for mayor, giving the following
reasons in the leading editorial of the
last issue, under the title, Alex
ander a Sure Winner:
with Mushet and Parish eliminated
from the mayoralty contest and Alex
ander polling within two thousand
votes of the total strength mustered
by Smith and Mushet, there should be
no question in the minds of all citi-
zens as to the final outcome next
month. Good government demands
the election of George Alexander to
succeed himself, and he should be re-
turned to Office by as nearly unani-
nous vote as the forces of Mushet and
Parish can make possible. Smith S
weakness never was more apparent
than now With the rump convention
behind him, an open purse and the
organization that takes orders vigor-
ously at work in his behalf, he was
yet 5206 votes in the rear of the good
government candidate. and only es-
capped annihilation by a scratch.
while the Graphic's first choice was
Oscar E. Farish, Wednesdays primary
election bespeaks clearly the wish Of
the people to retain George Alexander
in Office, and as he was at all times
our second choice. we unhesitatingly
indorse his candidacy at this time, and
urge his election. AS between his
known standing and clean affiliations,
and the doubtful position of Smith on
any public questions, together with his
unfortunate alliances, the public can
not hesitate.
Would Be Suicide
ITO indorse Smith and reject Alex
ander at this critical stage of municipal
development would be equivalent to
committing hara-kari We are conf
dent there is no suicidal intent lurk-
ing in the minds of the dominant Vot-
ers, and shall be greatly surprised If
Smith makes any material gains from
his Wednesday figures at the Decem-
ber election. AS a rule, men are loath
to waste their right of suffrage on
sure loser, and to our notion the rene
gade rump Republican candidate
hasn't the ghost of show to win"
Fielding j. Stilson, member of the
school board, on account of personal
friendship was inclined to support o.
e. Parish for the mayoralty, but is
now heartily for George Alexander

Parish is eliminated and l shall do
everything in my power to further the

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Many vessels
IN the Caribbean sea today were on the
lookout for Col. John Jacob Astor's s
steam yacht Nourmahal, having her
owner and his son Vincent on board,
which has not been heard from since
she was reported sailing from Kingston,
Jamaica, presumably for Porto Rico,
two weeks ago.
In the interim West Indian waters
have been hurricane-swept, cables have
heen interrupted, and there is anxiety
for the safety of those on board the
yacht
Today the cable lines to Porto Rico
were still out of commission. Wire
less apparatus, however, is being ex-
tensively employed in the effort to To-
cate the Astor yacht.
The revenue cutter Algonquin, now in
the Caribbean, has been ordered on the
search by the government, and the
wrecking steamer Relief sailed from
New York yesterday to aid in the quest,
while on her way to the salvage of
another vessel, wrecked in West Indian
waters.
A cablegram last night from Havana
stated the Nourmahal was in Nuevitas,
Cuba, last week., and sailed for the
United States about November II.
Her owner, the dispatch continued,
was said to have embarked on the
French steamer Abd-el-Kader at San
tjago, Cuba for Europe.
Mr.. Astor's secretary, William A.
Dobbyn, doubted the correctness of this
information. He said he was sure Mr..
Astor would have notified him of any
intention to sail for Europe.

POSSESSION
William Murphy Again Clashes with
Expounders of |. w. w. Princi-
piles at Second and Los
Angeles Streets

Down with the demon rum!" cried
William Murphy, the well known tenn
perance speaker, at Second and Los
Angeles streets last night, and few
feet away a following of the /. w. w.
listened to the speakers exhorting the
working class to organize and make a
united stand against the capitalistic
class. A large crowd gathered in ex-
pectation of a clash and more serious
repetition of the scenes of Thursday
night.
The battle of oratory was not one
of principle, but in regard to who was
entitled to the location, and after
three-quarters of an hours talk Mr..
Murphy drove away, leaving the men,
bers of the 1. w. w. in undisputed pos
session of the favored speaking loca-
ton.
An attempt to overturn the cart Ga
which Mr.. Murphy was speaking and
the arrest of one person who insisted
on disturbing the speakers were the
only features of the night. Order was
well kept, as an extra detail of patrol
men had been sent to the place to pre-
vent disorder.
The clash came through the efforts of
leaders of the temperance party and OF
the 1. w. w. to gain the advantageous
place from which to deliver their
speeches, and Thursday night Mr..
Murphy, in the course of his remarks.
is said to have taken umbrage at the
statements of the rival speakers and to
have stated that he was in favor OF
the open shop.
This statement is said to have pre-
cipitated a small sized riot. and the
declarations of speakers on 10Th sides
that they would speak again last nigh
was the cause of a large gathering
In spite of the evident attempts 1t
outsiders to disrupt the meetings, both
speakers urged their followers to pre-
serve order, and not to block the side
walks or in any way infringe upon the
law.
Both parties stated they would hold
forth at the same place tonight.
