and Art Classes.

more, who so successfully conducted

matte Ant next Friday, September

elocution and physical culture classes,
or they may enroll for private in
struction, in either subject.

recital October 18th when St. Mary's

opening of the art school next Fri
day for the teaching of drawing,

charge of an artist of experience
and marked ability and promises to
become one of the special attrac-
tions of the school The teacher will
be pleased to meet at the formation
of her classes any who are inter
ested in art. to whom she will eX-
plain her aims and methods of in
struction in the work of developing
an artistic talent. The prospects are
promising for large classes in both
denartments and the faculty Will
snare no pains to insure satisfaction
to its patrons in these latest depar-
lures at st Mary's.

Great Quaking When They
Learn Their Secrets
Are Known.
DICTOGRAPH is USED.
Judges Have Discussed Case and are
Believed to be Ready With 4 De-
cisi0n.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 24.-Tammany
Hall leaders arc greatly alarmed to-
day rs result of the turning over to
Governor Sulzer very important ma
terial for his defense in the impeach-
ment case against him. The COVER
nor has received from detectives evil
dence consisting Of conversations be-
tween leaders in New York City, and
other conversations that took place
at the executive mansion by persons
close to SulZer who are now arrayed
with his enemies.
There was naturally no confirma-
ton of the report, but the mention Of
dictograph nowadays is enough to
make any politician nervous.
Beware Of the dictograph,1 is the
message sent out by Tammany lead
ers here to every organization man
from the Bowery to the State capi-
tai.
1t Is basel on the information
which comes to the Tammany leaders
that dictograph was set up in the
executive residence.
The Tammany agents here learned
that the dictograph was concealed
under Mr.. Sulzer's own desk-the
desk where the impeached official is
working in his struggle to combat the
Tammany attacks.
The leaders recall that there had
been r1lmors for several days that
some of their kin hal been summoned
to the executive residence in the last
few days for secret conferences. The
Tammany men have sent out word
that every man in the ranks must
keen away from that private office.
As a matter Of fact it is almost
impossible to turn around in the capi-
toll corridors without humping into
private detective Both sides have
hired them in unlimited numbers, and
even unimportant departmental clerks
have been shadowed because they en-
joyed a bowing acquaintance with
some politician.
The crisis in the case was reached
today.
With the conclusion of the argu-
ment of A. G. Fox, Of Suffers
counsel, insisting, that the accused
could not be forcc1 to answer,fof Of
fenses committed prior to his taking
the oath of Office, the impeachment
COURT prepared to vote on this, the
vital question of the trial.
sEnemies of the governor were
openly confident that the contention
or the defense would not be upheld.
And his lawyers were only hopeful,
not confident.

PREPARING FOR WAR.

Belfast, Ireland, Sept. 24.-Union-
ist leaders in Ulster province con-
tinue to make preparations for ac-
tual war if home rule is established.
Lieut. Gen. Sir William Thompson
Adair has been appointed adjutant
general of the army of 100000 anti

Pain, a well known tactician, has
been made chief of staff.
Col. Pain says that the Boer wal

out between the pro and anti-home

Liverpool, Eng. Sept. %. = The

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 24.-New
hope was raised today in the breasts
cf f. Drew Caminetti and Maury
Digs, convicted as white slavers, by
the decision Of Federal Judge Pollock,
Of Kansas, in a similar case, that

only to "commercialzed" white slav-
cry.
That's fine" said Diggs, today. at
looks like that our appeal will win.
This is the contention we have made
from the first -
Caminetti said:
"Since the Federal judges cannot
agree, the success Of our appeal
seems certain"
That attorneys of the two men to-
day telegraphed to Wichita for an Of
fetal copy of the decision. Using it
as basis they inter!l to ask a
months stay Of execution
Special Prosecutor Sullivan de-
clare! that the Pollock decision can
have no bearing on the Diggs and
Caminetti cases.
"Judge Pollock evidently did not
read the rulings of the Supreme
Court Of the United States regarding
the Mann act" he said. Judge Van
Fleet ruled correctly throughout both
the trials here"
