WOULD LYNCH MILITANTS
Former Lord Mayor Says They Are Wretches, United States Suffra-
 gists Pleasant Creatures.

New York, May 16.-Sir William Treloar, former lord mayor of Lon don, in an interview before his de parture, touching on the suffragettes, said:
 Our suffragettes are such miser- able wretches. I saw your suffragists on parade, and I thought they were very pleasant creatures, behaving very properly, but our suffragettes are wretches. I call a woman or man a wretch who'll put a bomb in your house and perhaps kill your children.
 Mark my words, l think before very long the long suffering British public will probably take things into their own hands and therell be a ter rible catastrophe. Some of those wild women will be killed. 1 fully expect that there will be a lynching in Lon don unless the n1ilitants mend their ways. Because, you know, when mob once gets started there's no stop ping it. The police so far have pro tected the women and fought off the mob, but the mob is getting uglier and uglier. Yes, I believe someone will be lynched"

1t as s-s-s-s-short as p-p-p-possible."
 Taking the morning issue of the Trumpet from his pocket he pointed to the obnoxious article and asked the general if he wrote 1t. "Of course wrote 1t. What of it.. sir?"
 An instant later the deacon gripped the general by the back of his neck and, producing a stout raw hide whip proceeded to lash the as- tonished warrior with tremendous vigor. Shorter struggled and yelled for mercy in vain. The deacon held him In a grasp of iron until he had finished his exercise. Then he hurled his victim into a corner remarking:
 q h-h-h-have m-m-m-made it as ss-s-short as p-p-p-possible, g-g-g-gen- eral, b-b-b-but when you are m-m-m- more at l-l-l-leisure s-s-s-shall be h-h-h-happy to renew t-t-t-this eco con-conversation."
 The news spread quickly through Sanderson and the deacons friends begged him not to venture upon the street unarmed, as it was freely pre- dicted that the ferocious Shorter would not rest until he had executed dire vengeance upon his castigator. But the deacon refused to cucumber himself with a weapon. He only smiled mildly and said:
 "T-t-t-the g-g-g-gen-general is a sc-c-ch-ch child of ww-wwr-wrwrath, bb-b-but I d-d-d-don't c-c-c-con-con- sider him a d-d-d-dapgerous m-m-m- man."
 On the following Sunday morning, greatly to the surprise of the citi- zens of Sanderson, Deacon Lamb and General Shorter were seen to emerge from the formers house and proceed arm in arm in the direction of the church where the fire-eater from Texas sat meekly in the deacon's pew. listened to the sermon with grave attention, and gave literally to the collection.

PUT BOMB IN ART GALLERY
ENGLISH WILD WOMEN CON
 TINUE oUTRAGEs.
Bombs Are Products of Experts-Suf- frasette Organ to Continue--cabi-
 net Families Are Protected.

London, May 16.-A suffragette bomb, composed of dynamite car tridges, was found outside the Ma tional art gallery, on the north side of Trafalgar square, in the heart of Lon don.
 That the bomb had been placed by women was evident from the fact that 1t was wrapped in a copy of The Suffragette, the official organ of the Woman's Social and Political union.
 Had the bomb exploded rare paint ings, worth incalculable sums, would have been destroyed. The bomb was confiscated by Scotland Yard and ex- amined by an expert from the home office.
 It is evident that this, as we'll as other bombs, were manufactured by experts and the police are trying to find the bomb factory.
 The National gallery was built be- tween the years of 1882 and 1888, at a cost of S500,000. At three different periods it was subsequently enlarged. It contains the most costly single painting in the world, Raphaels Ma donna Degil Ansidei." purchased from the Duke of Marlborough in 1884 for $350,000. The commercial value of the painting at the present day is S500,000.
 The government has given up its attempt to suppress The Suffragette on the ground that such action might be characterized as arbitrary obstruc- tion of free speech. The paper will be issued as usual hereafter
 In consequence of revelations made concerning the plots of the militants, private detectives have been em- ployed to guard the families of eacn member of the cabinet.

In many cases the agent does not

in such an event it is easy for the

Washington, July 22.-The state de-

specting the details Of Secretary Bry'
ans proposal for virtual protector
ate over Nicaragua. Most of the d.
plomatic representatives Of the pow

The keenest interest, with some
hints of opposition, have been arous-

the suggestion that the plan be ex-

the Panama canal zone.
Salvador recently made objection to
the Nicaraguan treaty in its original

The strong support is among the

Hillsdale, Mich, July 21.-Blind fol
fifty years. Mrs. Mary J. Welsh
stepped from a train here tonight and
under the big arc light of the station
saw for the first time in her life hel
eight children. A surgeon from Chi
cago, who performed the operation
that restored her sight, helped the
little gray-haired woman from the
train steps. She stood hesitating a
moment and blinking in the strong
light while four broad-shouldered men
and four grown daughters rushed up
to meet her.
The tallest of the four sons gath.
cred the little woman up in his arms.
"I'm Tom, mother" he whispered,
and kissed her, 'and here's Will and
Kate and all the rest of the kids.
Don't you think we're a handsome
family?"
And then Mrs. Welsh did what any
; other woman would have done under
the circumstances. She cried on the
shoulders of the first one of her grown
children and then the other. They
lifted her carefully into carriage
and tonight the Walsh home saw a
real family reunion.
Chicago surgeons who assisted in
the operation that gave back the little
woman's sight declared it marvel of
surgery.

her eyes to all appearances were as
good as those of the average school
girl. A few months after her marriage
the pupils gradually became cloudsd
and in year she had lost the sight
Of both eyes.
To make her burden doubly hard to
bear, her husband became i'll and lay
on a sickbed for many months. Mrs.
Welsh was forced to take in washing
to support the family. She struggled
on until the children were able to earn
some money for themselves.
Nearly fifty ears passed and then
