News Forecast For Coming Week

Washington, d. c., July 22-An eX'
ceedingly busy week. is in prospect
for the law makers of three great ma
tions, which is rather unusual for mid
summer.
The discussion of the proposed reel
procity pact between Canada and the
United States will engage the atten-
ton of the Dominion Parliament at
Ottawa.
In Washington the legislative activi-
ties will be confined chiefly to the up
per branch of Congress. According to
the schedule as it now stands the Sen
ate will vote Thursday on the House
succeeding days it will dispose of the
free list bill, the re-apportionment bill
and the Statehood bill
The period of acute crisis in the
matter of the veto bill before the Brit
ish parliament will be reached during
the coming week, when the House of
Commons will almost certainly reject
the House of Lords amendments,
and the peers will have to make a
Anal decision.
OF interest to the politicians will
be the State convention of the Demo
cratic party in Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's
home state. The convention is called
to meet at Fremont on Tuesday to
draft state platform and elect a state
committee. The Fopulists are to hold
their state convention at the same
time and place.

Romance and Tragedy Barred
BY Yelled Divorces Death

Chicago, July ga life of romance
a tragedy, pathos and sacrifice was
revealed Friday. when there was
drawn aside a thick, gray veil, always
worn by Mrs Catherine Porter-a veil
which led to her death.
With her eyes blinded behind its
fine meshes, she was struck by an
auto at Sheridan road and Leland av-
enue and instantly killed. The ma
chine was driven by Charles Chapman,
who surrendered to the police.
This is a story about Mrs. Kate
Porter, 50 years ,old, a domestic en-
ployed by W. F. Hobbs, $50 Castle
wood terrace. Such a bald statement
on the accident book OF the police,
but w. F. Hobbs, who identified the
body after the woman lay unrecogniz-
ed at night at an undertaking estab-
lishment, told the remarkable story
of Mrs. Porter's life.
When only a young woman she was
married to Sullivan c. Edgar, ST.
Louis steel man. He was rising in
his business and soon acquired for
tune, and his wife became society
leader. Then came a son.
Over a petty matter Mr. and Mrs.
Edgar are said to have quarreled. The
breach widened and divorce followed,
the courts giving the son into the
custody of the father. He scarcely
knew he had a mother when she went
out into the world.

fine gowns and with the soft, white

tic. The Borrowing wife and mother
shielded her identity, donned the garb
of the domestic and started out in the
world to do her own battle. For
years she fought her battle in St.
Louis, but constantly she met friends.
This was unbearable, and, giving
up all hope of a chance meeting with
her son, she came to Chicago. Five
years ago she applied to Mrs. Hobbs
for a position, which she obtained.
Her appearance was good, her man
ners excellent, and she was highly
recommended to Mrs. Hobbs by a
friend who had gone to Europe.
Not for several years, however, did
Mrs. Porter give her confidence TO
her employer. Then she told her life's
story, and this repeated by Mrs. Hobbs

and tragedy that filled the woman s

but she never saw him because OF
the fear Of his father, and, as she eX.
planned, the son had never known his
mother and she entered but little in
to hits life.
"However, l wired the son at his
club, one of the most aristocratic in
ST Louis, and think he will be here
to care for his mothers body, but in
case he does not, will take charge OF
it."
