MAYOR GAYNoR DIES sUDDENLY
Summons Came to Him on the
Steamer Baltic.

ne" IOrK, sept. ll.-May0r Gay
nor l'ol on the steamship Baltic, in
mid-ocean, at 1 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, according to a cablegram
received here to-day from his son,
Rufus w. Gaynor. The message
came to Robt. Adamson, the mayors
secretary, and read as follows:
Father died Wednesday at 1
O'Clock, due to heart failure. Notify
mother"
Mayor Gaynor sailed from New
York on September 4th. An hour
before he sailed no one outside of his
family and his secretary knew his
plans.
He announced his purpose to be a
Drlet vacation on the ocean. He felt
that the salt air would restore his
health. The Baltic is due at Queens
town to-day. The mayor died as he
was nearing the other side. -,
Mr.. Gaynor expected to sail from
Liverpool on his return on Septem-
Der IS, A recent attack Of throat
trouble had entirely disappeared be-
fore he sailed, according to his secre-
tary.
A statement issued immediately
before his departure denied rumors
of serious illness. The bullet wounds
afflicted by James J. Gallagher, Au-
gust 8, 1910, as he was about to sail
for Europe, caused the recent throat
trouble.
Mr.. Gaynor intended to enter the
mayoralty campaign with old-time
vigor on his return. A day before
he sailed he heard a delegation Of in
dependent political organizations
notify him that he had been selected
by them to succeed himself. Too
weak to respond, he had his secre-
tary to read his speech Of accept
ance.
His sudden death completely over
turns the municipal political situ-
alton and leaves only the Fusionist
and Democratic candidates. The
former ticket is headed by John
P. Mitchell, and the latter by Edward
E. Mccall, with a Tammany endorse
ment. Gaynor was placed at the
head of an Independent ticket after
Tammany had refused him a renom-
ination. His denomination was
brought about by a non-partisan
movement representing mainly Gay
nor's personal popularity.
William J. Gaynor was born On a
farm near Whitestown, N. Y, in
1857. His parents were poor and he
had to struggle to obtain an educa-
ton. He graduated from the public
schools and studied law in a Utica
office. He went to Brook .yn as a
newspaper reporter in 1873. Two
years later he was admitted to the
bar.
From that moment until his death
he lived in the midst of a political
warfare. He fought various rings,
winning notable victories. He was
elected Justice Of the Supreme Court
in 1898 and was chosen mayor of
New York in 1909.
His career in this office bore the
mark of quaint personality. He was
prominently mentioned for Presiden.
in the last election.

Caught Rad Cold

Last winter my son caught a very

group, told Thaw that he had orders
to deport him to Vermont.
Thaw could not have been more
surprised had he been told that he
was free. Before he could reply
Robertson ordered him to get ready
at once for the trip, adding that an
automobile was waiting for the dash
to the border.
IhaW's surprise changed to fury in
a moment. He refused to go, and.
picking up tumbler, hurled it at
Robertson. The missile went wide
OF its target, crashed through a WIN
dow and broke on the roadway out
side. Robertson and his men forci-
bly, seized the prisoner and forcibly
elected him from the room.
AS Thaw was thus unceremoniols-
ly carried down the stairs to the au
tomobile he kicked and fought his
captors, shouting that he was being
kidnapped. Robertson sought to
quiet him with assurances that the
proceeding was entirely regular and
that his cries were futile. The two
Dominion policemen aided actively in
placing 1iaw in the automobile.
With the prisoner safe the entire
party, policemen and all, entered the
car and were whirled away to the
border.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 1O.-C. J. Do

terror department., to-day said he had
rejected Thaw's appeal from the de-
cision of the immigration board Of in
quiry, upholding the findings of the
board and ordered the deportation
of Thaw forthwith.
Il issued the warrant for the de-
portation Of Thaw, which has been
acted upon this morning, and | did
II III pursuance of my duty as acting
minister OF the interior" said Judge
Doherty 81 assume full responsi-
Dll1ty for the deportation. The ac-
tior has been taken after careful con-
Slderation. What was done was
merely to carry out the law"
Judge Doherty explained that the
Canadian immigration law directed
the seizure Of persons who were sus-
pected Of being undesirable, their ex-
animation by a board Of inquiry and
deportation.
Thaw was suspected, seized, ex-
amined, condemned as an undeslra-
bic, and now has been sent back
whence he came, and by the same
route" added Judge Doherty. '"The
law directs that an undesirable be
deported by the route by which he
Eentered the country. This Is what
we have done"
Attorneys here said that Thaw's
counsel blundered, In, falling to have
the writs diercted to the Canadian
minister OF justice instead of to the
minor officials.

senator Hoke Smith declared to-day
that ultimate development in the new

How to Fight the House FLY.

Homer H. Coy, writing in Leslie's
Magazine says:
Pyrethum powder burnt in a house
stupefies fly until you can sweep him
up and put him where he belongs. A
little of this burnt in the rooms in the
morning, after which the rooms Shout
be aired-will make the house ex-
empt from flies all day. Twenty drops
OF carbolic acid dropped on a hot
shovel or on any piece of warm iron
creates a vapor that lays flies low.
The common mignonette plant grown
in jars and placed in a room makes
things unpleasant for the flies. A dan
dy thing is the white clover. 1t is
strange, but flies hate the odor of
white clover. Have a little of this
around in vase and you will notice
that the flies have business in other
direction. This clover should be re-
newed every day or so, for when it
becomes dry it irritates the nostrils.
A cheap and effective poison, not dan
gerous to the human life, is bichro-
rate of potash in solution. One
drachm dissolved in two ounces of
sweetened water and placed in shall
low dishes will call the roll for any
number of pests. Another remedy for
all purposes has few equals is So
luton of formaline or formaldehyde
in water A spoonful of this liquid in
quarter of pint of water left expos
ed in room will make the flies scarce
in a very short time. Flies are sensa-
tive to light; keep the window cur
tains drawn, all except one little slit,
and they will gravitate toward it.
Then you can easily drive them out
