dear memory" had promised to do a
colored design for the Christmas mum
Der Of an illustrated weekly publica-
ton. The date fixed on for its deliv.
cry passed by. and no design had been
forthcoming.
Letters and kilograms were unan-
swered, and when MESSENGER was
sent to Mays house 1t appeared that
he had gone to Paris without leaving
any address, This. according to Lon.
don NJ. A. p. is what happened next:
The publishers were at their wits
end, but one OF them. paying a days
visit to Margate, was overjoyed to see
May basking In the sunshine by the
water. The publisher did not make
himself known, but cannily ascertain
ed where, May was staying. Then he
hired six sandwich men to parade up
and down before the artists window
with boards bearing different legends.
This was their tenor:
eve are waiting for that cover"
1t was q delightful reminder. and in
a few days the publishers received one
of the most brilliant designs May had
ever executed.

OROzCO PENNED IN,
 CAPTURE IS LIKELY
Brains of Mexican Revolu- tion Tn Clutches of Fed
 eral Leader.

Fl Paso. Aug 24-That General PasquaIe Orozco, the brains of the Mexican revolution, will soon be a prisoner of war, was the declaration, today, of General Joaquin Tellez, com mander of the federal troops in Chi huahua state and northern Mexico. Tellez, who is in Jaurez, declares that the rebel chfeftain is penned up with 500 revolutionists north of the city of Chihuahua and that there is not chance of his escape Ten thousand federals are spread out in an amor nous circle, making it impossible for the insurrectos to find a loophole, say the federals.
 The exact location of Orozco is un- known He is somewhere between the Mexican Central and Mexican North western railways. The federal troops, which control Chihuahua City, are also strung along the line of railways to the border of Juarez completely sur rounding Orozco. Tellez says that the rebels are short of food and ann munition and must soon come out in the open to fight. The federals will wait until he does so and then seize him and his entire command.

Both were taken to St. Francis hospital, where 1t is said there is little chance for their recovery
 Miss Maretta accepted CasteI1i's at- tentions for some time, but not long ago suffered & change of heart and dismissed him. He refused to be dis missed and continued to force his at- tentions upon the girl until she com- plained to the police several times. The last complaint was on Sunday when she said she had received a threatening letter from him.
 This morning Miss Maretta was walking down Windsor avenue and was nearing the tunnel when CasteIIi. who had evidently been waiting there for her, stepped in front of her and. pulling a revolver, fired. The bullet struck her in the left side near the heart. The shooting was in plain sight of number of passersby who went to her assistance. Several men also tried to grab Caste1Ii but before they could prevent it, he had turned the gun and shot himself

The old landlords have dis appeared entirely and under the Land Purchase act the people are what it used to cost them and pros- perity is in the air. The farmers have creamery associations and are making money. Wages are better than they ever were before: Dublin, Cork and Belfast are certainly woH- the benefit of the people who live in them.
 We made our headquarters near my old home just outside of Limerick k at Pallas, and we travelled the island over from County Clare to Donegal. :. There has been great changes since l was there on my last visit ten years ago. l told them I was going back again for another visit when they get absolute home rule. Donegal is an interesting place. It is the oldest town in Ireland and the oldest house ors can get a good idea of the type of houses of centuries ago.

INCOMES MAY YIELD PLACE
 TO M ADOO
Democratic National Chair man Seriously Ill From
 Intestinal Trouble

New York, Aug. N-Chairman Will liam F. McCombs of the Democratic national committee may never again resume active management of the Democratic national campaign. It was learned, today, that his physicians have told him he cannot hope to re- turn to his desk for a month. If he follows their advice, it is believed he will have to yield the real leadership of the fight to Vice-Chairman Will liam G. McAdoo, because the campaign will have proceeded so far under McAdoos administration by that time that it will be difficult if not impos- sible, for anyone else to pick up it's management and carry it forward.
 It is also learned, today, that Mo Combs illness is more serious than was at first believed He Is suffering from intestinal poisoning which, in stead of yielding to treatment, has continued alarming. He is confined to his bed at the home of his sister, on Long Island and for three weeks has had absolutely no commun1ca- tion on politics with members of the campaign committee. His condition IS so serious his physicians will not per init him to have anything to do With the. campaign.

WILSON'S SPEAKING PROGRAM WILL BE
 ARRANGED MONDAY
Candidate Belives There's No Demand For Great Amount to Stumping.

Sea Girt, Aug. 24-W Woodrow Wilson's speaking campaign for the presidency will be at least partially arranged, Monday forenoon, in New York city, according to announcement made by the candidate here, today.
 q have arranged to take breakfast with Acting Chairman McAdoO, early Monday morning." said Governor Will son: sand immediately afterward to meet as many members of the cam- paign committee as we can get to- gether for the purpose of deciding what speeches j! shall make.
 1T am not going to make any eX- tending stumping tour We will sim ply decide, on Monday, the amount of speaking I am to do and the places I am to visit There will not be any large number of speeches away from New Jersey. It is the general judg- ment that this is the most effective way to conduct this campaign.
 From my general correspondence l find that a great majority of the peo- pie believe that I ought not to make any great number of speeches They believe the country is tired of stump ing tours. The arguments on the oth- CT side of this question, come from men who are active in politics and who are mortified that the usual pro- gram will not be followed.
 My private judgment is that ex- tended stumping tours are not the most effective method of conducting campaign. I may make consider able number of speeches but as for go- ing about and canvassing the country I have no such intention. You must also always remember that I am gov- ernor of New Jersey and that I must keep in touch with the business of the state'
 Governor Wilson has but four speak ing engagements now: Williams Grove, Pa, Aug 29, Dollar Dinner at York vile Casino, N. Y, Sept. 4. American Spanish War Veterans at Atlantic City, Sept 10, New York State Fair, Syracuse, Sept. F.

Mr.. W. r. Parker, with his construc-
ton gang have almost finished the work
of rebuilding completely Macon's tele-
phone system. The work in business
and principal residence portion was
completed several weeks ago, and all
the connections made in the switch
board and the old lines and poles re-
moved but work that will keep them
busy for a week longer was found on
the outskirts of town. Mr.. Parker
thinks that Macon now has the best
system of any town of its size in the
South.
Since Mr.. Parker came to Macon he
has been promoted to the position of
district plant chief, comprising thirteen
counties in Mississippi. with Tupelo as
headquarters. This position was Gre
ated since the consolidation of the
Southern Bell and Cumberland Tele-
phone companies. At a meeting of the
officers and employees of the two COM
panles recently held in Memphis it was
agreed to send a representative of the
Southern Bell Co., to Macon with in
structions to make a thorough inspec-
ton. Mr.. William Eubanks, superin-
tendent at Decatur, Ala. was sent as a
representative of the Southern Bell to
inspect the work recently completed.
He made the inspection last week and
went away satisfied that we had a sys-
TEN as good as the best.
The excellent behavior of the labor
ers engaged in the telephone COM
pany's work. under Mr.. Parker's
charge has been noticed and favorably
commented on by the city authorities.
Mr.. Lee the marshal of the town, says
that there is not a crap-shooter nor a
drunkard among them. Their conduct
here has been characterized by industry
and good behavior, and the people of
the city as well as the officers appreci-
ate it.
