saw Clarke 10 feet from the

next ball appeared high for a

Cleveland had taken the first

The Maps started to loaf, in
hopes of so delaying the game
that the umpire would call it, on
account of darkness, before the
completion of five innings.
Clarke was the first man up in
the first of the fifth. He took his
time going from the catcher's
box to the bench, removed
his shin guards and other par
aphernalia in leisurely manner,
and then started to select his bat.

with the police today. His house was
robbed a few days ago and he said
that he thought the letter was either
a hoax or from crazy man" In

Il know of the manipulations OF the
Morgan Wall street house, and
through it have lost all the money

In an attempt to trap the man who

lurked in hiding places along the
east drives in Central Park all night.
The letter writer had agreed to be at
a specified spot to receive the $780,

The writer, however, failed to ma
terialize and the detectives. half
frozen, gave up the quest shortly after
daylight. The letter was received
through the mails at the Morgan
house several days ago. Immediate
notice was sent to the police, but
great secrecy was thrown about the
case.
The letter is believed to have been
written by we'll educated man, who
has intimate knowledge of the work
ings of Wall street He protested to
have inside information as to the
Morgan banking firm and showed by
his letter that he really did know
more than the general public about
the bank. J. P. Morgan, ST.. is in
Europe and his son is in complete
control of his affairs during his abb
sence. This fact was we'll known to

Morgan, himself, is closely followed
by private detectives who have been
called in to work on the case
1t was admitted today that SO many
threatening letters are received by
members of the Morgan family that
little heed is given them. This let
ter, however, bore the earmarks OF a

TOO EXPENSIVE

Hon. H. N. Wheeler, the veteran ed
itor OF the Quincy Journal, has been
strongly urged of late to become the
Il Democratic candidate for congress in
the Fifteenth Illinois district He is
sia man of fine personal character
broad views and wide acquaintance
4 with public affairs and would be a
icredltable representative of his party
I'D the legislative halls at Washington.
But the political organization with
I winch he is identified will have to
look elsewhere for a candidate. Mr..
/ Wheeler, in an article in his paper on
1 the subject, frankly ccnfesses that he
would like to be elected to congress.
1t is useful, honorable position. 1t
gives man a chance to do some
thing for his country, if he is inclined
that way-and has the ability to
achieve. 1T would be a great exper-
fence for me to go to congress-, he
says, and it is an experience / would
Ike to have. | should learn much
there, and that learning | should rel.
ISM But there are weighty personal
reasons why he cannot indulge his
wish One is that he is too poor, and
another is that his business requires
his constant attention. In speaking of
these things he says:
A daily newspaper is an exacting
mistress. She will not be ignored or
put by. She wants attention every
day and every hour. If could be elect
cd to congress, it would be a great
mistake for me to stand for the of
nee. And for this reason am not
going to stand for the nomination.
There has been some little talk of
my standing as a candidate for CON
gressman-atlarge. Think what that
would mean A long, expensive can
yass-such a canvass as cannot af-
ford to make.
In regard to this matter of going
to congress, l cannot but feel that |
could held my own with the eighth
and tenth-rate lawyers that manage
to break into congress in such large
numbers. That's one trouble with
this country-we let too many cheap
lawyers break into congress. We
ought to send few newspaper men
there to provide them with brains.
But this is enough. am not a can
didate for congress in this district or
in the state at large; nor shall ! be
this year Much as / should like to
&c to congress, I cannot afford to
make the race. That's ALL
Mr.. Wheeler is to be congratulated
upon his wise decision. The Fifteenth
district is close one politically and
II is quite possible that he would be
elected il he entered the lists. 1t
may also be admitted that the position
Oh representative is one of great honor
and many possibilities for usefulness.
But Mr. Wheeler already occupies
position of greater honor and a more
potential field for usefulness as editor
of one of the leading daily newspapers
in Illinois. Congress and his party
would undoubtedly be gamers by his
accession to the ranks of legislators,
but this gain would be more than off
set by the loss that journalism would
sustain. Mr.. Wheeler is in his right
place at the head of the Journal and
there is where he should remain, as
he has wisely resolved to do Though
he did not have in mind the construc.
ton here put upon his words. he is
right in saying that he cannot afford
to make the race.

a MEMORY OF MOTHER.

A MEMORY OF MOTHER.
Rock Of Ages, cleft for me-
How it echoes through the years!
Those dear words come back to me,
Midst the trials and the tears
1t was mothers voice in song,
As she crooned lullaby;
And the memory cheers me long
Thoughts of youth that never die.
Let me hide myself in Thee
Great the debt we owe to her.
In her sweet simplicity
She was ever comforter.
Childish griefs We could not bear
Were to mother oft revealed.
She would all our troubles share,
And our wounded hearts were
healed.
Other refuge have | none
Constant as the stars above
We could always turn to one
Who would shield us with her love.
With her arms about us prest
In loving, fond embrace
Soothed our hearts-we'd find sweet
rest
Meath the sunshine of her face
Rock of Agesr-how it thrilled,
All. the years have been SO long
Since that loving voice was stilled
In the melody OF song.
But as memories come and go,
She still sings it soothingly
In the evenings afterglow
Let me hide myself in Thee"
