CHICAGO, Sept. Theodore
Roosevelt, before 1000 persons at
the Hamilton club last night, de-
nounced in scathing terms the po-
litical corruption of Illinois as
indicated by the confessions of
legislators who were bribed to
vote for Lorimer for senator.
Il ask you, men of Illinois,
that you purity your politics; that
you hold accountable the scoun-
drel, be he great or small, who
has been guilty of corruption; that
you insist on cleanliness in public
life," he said.
He declared there were just
two sources of danger to the
American people-"lawless vio-
lence which we have more often
to face from the people who have
the least of the worlds goods, and
corruption which we have to face
more often from the people who
have most of the worlds goods. ;"

DOESN' 7 KNOW
HOW It REALLY
HAPPENED

Harry Gobel, still dazed and
suffering from injuries inflicted at
the time he and George Waller of
Tacoma were assaulted and the lat
ter murdered on top of a passen-
ger coach in California, is now at
home. He does not know who
committed the assault. He was
struck in the head and rendered
unconscious. 1t is supposed to
have been either railway detec-
tive or brakeman of the train who
assaulted the boys. Waller was
choked and beaten until he died.
The authorities at Redlands say
they are investigating but no ar
rests have been made. Mrs. Val
lier is still Frustrated and is a
nervous wreck over the loss of her
son.

An interesting sidelight on
these graft in high life proescu-
tons is the ghost of Big Dan
Coughlin, now supposed to be a
fugitive in Central America. Years
ago, the Illinois Central defeated
all litigants injured by the rail-
road, and investigation showed
that gang of professional jury
fixers, with Dan Coughlin at the
head, had been at work. When
things began to warm up Cough
lin disappeared. The general sup
position is that the railroad COM
pany put Mrs. Coughlin on the pay
roll at SIS a month. She still
lives in Chicago on South Scoville
avenue.
Coughlin has a crippled child
In Chicago, and he is so anxious
to see the child that he may de-
eide to come to Chicago from
Honduras and make important
jury bribery revelations, should
immunity be granted him. But
this rumor cannot be traced to
sources that are reliable.

THE HOBBLE-SKIRT
 IS BEING HOBBLED

Paris, November 12.-(Special. )-Poetical justice has overtaken the hobble skirt. Having caused the painful physical fall of many fair wearers, it has fallen itself to low estate in the commercial sense. You may buy yesterdays fashionable eccen- tricity in the old clothes market for any price from dollar upward But the de- mand Is poor; it is a glut in the market
 The hobble skirt has been killed by a succession of accidents. During the last few weeks ladies wearing this particular costume have fallen so often and so awk- wardly that several arms and legs hav6 been broken, and the Parisienne has now definitely decided against this style of gown. The midinettes-dressmake and milliners' girls-who are the usual ousto- mers, are just as careful of their limbs as other persons, and the probable fate of the bales of hobble skirts will before long be to the colonies.

COURT PAINTER HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE

Berlin November 12.-(Special)- )-The well-known court painter, Herr Arthur Fischer, has had a narrow escape from the total loss of his eyesight through a bomb sent. by post by an unknown per- son. who had attemtped to extort money from him.
 Five times recently Herr Fischer had received letters threatening him with as sassination if he failed to comply with the requests. Twice the letters were followed by small boxes, which he opened and found to be harmless.
 Last week, however. the artist received another letter, which luckily he handed to the police. It was followed by a box which looked like the others. This he also sent to the police. When the box was opened a flame leaped out some yards high, which would infallibly have de- stroyed the painters eyes if he had opened it like the others. The box was found to contain a mixture of gunpowder and fiashlight powder.

AN EXHIBITION OF
 PAINT RUN MAD

London. November 12.-(Special)- Artistic London will have its hair raised aext week when the post impression
 sts" will open an exhibition at the Grafton galleries off Bond street. The exhibition would have opened last week but the French railway strike up- set all the arrangements and the alleged artists" refused to trust their precious masterpieces to the railway companies.
 The post impressionists' hail from Paris and are altogether unknown here. Their pictures are described as paint run mad" One of the leaders of this weird "schoo is M. Van Gogh who painted most of his pictures while con- fined in a lunatic asylum at Aries. An other of its post impressionists" con- fines his protraiture to Tahiti and Ma ori women. These pictures are like nothing on earth and the efforts of the ordinary impressionists are classical in comparison. An artist was shown yes- terday an advance copy of a poster which, if allowed by the London coun- ty council, will shortly dlsfgure Lon don's hoardings but will assuredly ad- vertise its exhibition. It Is a half length figure by Ganguin of a Tahiti woman in extremely scanty attire and in its corner is one of the queer little grinning black imps which characterize all his work like the butterfly sigma ture of the American genius Whistler Artistic London is always ready to go crazy over any new sensation and If any of the great critics describe the post impressionists" as wonders the school should have thousands of pu- pils-as no previous knowledge of painting is at all desirable. If the ex- hibition is a success here it will be repeated in New York.
