The gladness Of the wind that shakes the cesn.
The justice Of the rain that loves all leaves.

From prairie cabin up to Capitol.
One fair ideal led chieftain
For evermore he burned to do his deed
With the fine stroke and gesture Of king.
He built the rail pile as he built the state.
Pouring his splendid strength through every blow,
The conscience Of him testing every stroke
To make his deed the measure Of q man.
So came the captain with the mighty heart.
And when the step Of earthquake shook the house.
Wrenchng the rafters from their ancient hold.

Mohonk Lake, n. T., Oct l0-In the
opening address before the Lake Mohonk
conference OF friends of the Indian and
other dependent peoples yesterday,
James s. Sherman. vice president of the
United States, spoke in part as follows
Il believe that a study Of conditions

the most skeptieal that We are and have
been pursuing the wise course and we
have brought TO these brown people over

have acquired had they remained under
Spanish rule OF been left to themselves.
No one can truthfully deny that the
Philippines are to-day well governed.
They have 100000 children enrolled in
their schools. and besides their primary
and secondary schools, industrial educa-
ton has been SO far advanced that
about 100000 pupils are receiving in

OF Cincinnati independent tobacco men
have Joined hands with tobacco asso-
citations Of the country TO prevent the
reorganization OF the American Tobacco
company on the lines proposed, by start
ing a subscription list to help finance
the legal battle against the trust in
the United States circuit court of New
York. The action of the Cincinnati men
originated in the receipt OF letter from
Charles Emory Long Of the board Of
directors Of the National Cigar Leaf as.
ISOLATION by Cincinnati tobacco men. in
forming them that the plan proposed by
the American Tobacco company was not
favorable to the interests of the trade
and least of all to the public. The

Charles S. Shoebridge Drowned,

MAY BE A MURDER MYSTERY
Some Of Mans Pockets Were Turned

bridge, until recently private secretary
to r. c. Wilson, general manager of
Mum & Co., publishers Of the Scientific
American, and widely known among
magazine men, it became known yes
terday, was the victim picked up Tues
day night on the lakewood beach, Staten
Island. His body, removed to the West
Brighton morgue was identified by Mr.
Wilson and Others There it was found
that veins in each wrist had been cut,
though the arteries were not severed
as was stated at the time the body was
found.
DR.. George Mord, who performed an
autopsy, announced that death had been
caused by drowning. The WOUNDS on
the wrists had nothing to do with it,
Yet the police could not form an opin-
ion whether the case was one of sui
eide or murder. While they said some
of the pockets Of the man were turned
inside out and an Inside vest pocket
cut, they would not undertake to call
the case one Of murder.
II do not think that this is a case
of suicide" said Coroner jackson. "The
fact that two wallets were found, bath
empty, that they had been cut open
with a knife, and that the secret pocket
of the waistcoat had been rined, indi-
cate to me that the man was muir
dered.
1t looks to me as if the men had
been a passenger on some steamer. No
doubt he was carrying a large amount
Of money in that secret pocket. This
was probably known 20 his slayers, who,
after killing and robbing him, slashed
his wrists 10 give the crime the ap.
pearanee Of suicide and then tossed the
body overboardt
Mr.. Shoebridge's home was at SIG
West l42d street, in a boarding house,
where be had lived for six Years. The
present landlady, who has been there
for two months, knew very little about
him, for he Kept to himself, and she
could tell nothing OF him when asked
yesterday. In fact, the only informa-
tion she had was that he was en-
ployed by the American Magazine
He was there for long time as the
private secretary to Mr. Wilson, who
was the manager He went with the
manager to the Mum company some
two years ago. But about one year ago
he quit the employ OF MIR. Wilson. 1t
has not been learned what he did since.
Yet his friends were surprised when
they heard yesterday that he was dead.
Those who knew him well insisted that
he could not have committed suicide.
They said that he was man Of strong
win power. happy, and prosperous, so
that they knew of no cause for sui
eide.
Mr.. Wilson told the police in West
Brighton that Shoebridge was some
thing Of an athlete, and kept himself
constantly in good condition. He new
er drank, CARRYING his objections to
stimuants so far that he would not

sons interest in the case was the
fact that the victim had been missing
since Monday. While Mr.. Shoebridge
had not been employed by him recent.
ly they were friends and met often.
1t was also stated at the boarding house
on Washington Heights that Shoebridge
had not been in his room since Monday
