SUFFERS STORY
TO BE DELAYED
Judge Admits That He Will Keep
Governors Manuscript Until Af-
ter the Trial

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 11.-If Gov.
Suffers sensational story which he
has said he wanted to make public
ever is given cut it will be after the
verdict of the hign court Of impeach-
ment is in and his attorneys have
withdrawn from his employ.
The manuscript of the story today
was located in the Office safe Of Judge

that he had it. When the case is over,
the judge said, he will return the man
uscript to the governor. Then Herrick
will have withdrawn from Sulzer's
employ and responsibility for the pub
lication of the revelations will not
rest with him.
Pending decision of the high court
of Impeachment on the question Of
the guilt or innocence of Gov. Sulzer,
uncertainty prevailed at the capitol
today With the knowledge that the
governors fate would be announced
early next week department heads
and employees not protected by civil

manency of their tenure of Office
The legislature today also is mark
ing time, waiting for the verdict Of
the high court. The leaders have de-
clared they will keep the legislature in
intermittent but not continuous ses-
sion until after election. If Sulzer is

ministration an opportunity to enact
into law any policies that may be
deemed important. If the governor
is not removed the plan is to remain
in session 50 that Gov. sulzer can not
make recess appointments.

TRAPPER FOUND GOLD NINE.
Spaniard in Dream Told
Him About it

A Glenn Falls, n. Y, dispatch to the
New York Sun says: "Uncle Jim"
Chase, a we'll known resident of Fort
Ann, acting upon instructions received
in two-night vision, has discovered
on his farm at Fort Ann a gold and
silver mine supposed to have been
abandoned 25O years ago and large
cave, in which gold and silver bullion
and coins were hidden there at that
time.
Samples Of the gold ore sent to AL
bany for analysis have shown that
they contain $3.50 in gold to the ton,
while TIE silver ore assays at about
the same ratio. The samples also
contain a large percentage of nickel.
Mr. Chase, who owns the farm upon
which the mine and cave are located,
has filed miners claim with the sec
retary Of State. --e1--
Uncle Jim's statement rivals those
of fiction Uncle jim, who is veteran
Of the Civil war, in which he served as
a sergeant, and is a hunter, trapper,
crack shot and man of his word, tells
the following tale:
An old Spaniard, one whose appear
ance was not altogether pleasing, ap-
peared to him in vision on'two sue
ceeding nights as he slept. The Span
lard told him to go to a certain spot
on his farm back of Sly Pond, in the
vicinity of Three Ponds in that part of
the town of Fort Ann known as Niche
gam, and that he would find cave
there in which the Spaniard had min
ed and smelted and coined gold and
silver 25O years ago.
"This stuff was left there and you're
the man we want to have it" said the
Spaniard, according to Mr.. Chase. The
man left that vicinity 250
years ago, when he built stone wall
across the cave, a short distance from
its mouth. Just back Of this wall, he
told Chase would be found large iron
chest, containing gold and silver coins
and a large amount of bullion, both
refined and crude, all abandoned by
the Spaniard two and half centuries
ago.
Chase was considerably affected by
the vision, but decided to await its
before ne started out, and
sure enough the same Spaniard ap-
peared to ;nim the following night.
Convinced that an effort to locate
the gold and silver would cost him
nothing more than little work, if
he should be disappointed, Chase
started out early next morning. He
went to the place indicated by the
Spaniard and did some excavating. He
then covered up the entrance, had
some samples which he brought away,
assayed, and is now preparing to open
up his mine and reap the harvest
which has been bestowed upon him.

tive Henry D. Clayton, chairman OF
the judiciary committee, today sent to
President Wilson letter expressing
his Willingness to withdraw from the
Alabama senatorial fight and remain
in the house to help carry through the

nation as the senatorial appoinlee for

SOMETHING or A BLESSING
At Least Mother Was Convinced Tha.
Her Loss of Fortune Was Not
Altogether q Curse.

A charming young woman began
her married life with an income which
not only met but also permitted of
tying in a generous bow with beauti-
full flowing ends. When the eldest of
her three children was nine years old
Fortune turned upon them a decided
ly cold shoulder.

1t is dreadful for the children" in
sisted a friend who had tried in vain
to make this mother express self
pity over her change of circum-
stances.
"But have come to the conclusion
that it is about the best thing that
could have happened to them" an
swered the mother with a smile. "They
were becoming selfish and dissatis-
fed"
one day an humble neighbor OF her
simple, new environment gave the
mother a small. common geranium
from her garden bed. When the chill
dren came home from school they
helped her plant it in a cheap earthen
pot. They placed 1t In the sunniest
window. They tended and watched
it, counting each new leaf and each
swelling bud.
"How are you all?" inquired the
consoling friend pityingly. meeting
the children.
Thank you. we are all WELL" an
swered the little girl happily, land.

And the former friend beheld the
glimmering of a wonderful truth OF

LIQUOR TRAFFIC IS a CURSE
Federal Judge In West Virginia Dis
frict Makes ScathIng Arraign-
ment Of Saloonkecpers-

In charge to the grand jury Of the
federal court In Wheeling, Judge Ais
ton G. Dayton Of the United States
court for the northern district of West
Virginia delivered scathing arraign
nlent of the liquor traffic. Among 9TH
er things he said:
1t has been my experience, In the
seven years ] have occupied this posi-
ton on the bench, that violations of
the internal revenue law are ten times
az many as all the other offenses
against the laws OF the United States
put together. Why? Because. funda-
mentally, the sale OF Intoxicating
liquor is not a legitimate and honest
business, and no man can be an honest
man who engages in it. 1t isn't hon
est to destroy man. 1t isn't honest
to take away the bread and butter of
helpless women and children. Gentle
men, It isn't honest for any man to
come into your household and take
the bright. strong, vigorous son and
lead him on and on until he becomes d
disgrace to you, an annoyance to his
drunkard's grave. And yet there isn't
single saloonkeeper's saloon In this
country that does not send every year
its man to a drunkard'S grave, and
more than that; and when dishonest
men once get into business 1t In the
hardest thing in the world to make

very great deal OF distinction between
the man, in my deliberate judgment,
who stands up, and for revenue pur-
poses. votes to license the saloon, and
the man who conducts the saloon. The
good Christian people who go 20 the
polls and vote for license are the
power behind the throne; they are the
power behind the saloon, because II
they did not vote for license the fel-
low could not run his saloon. tell
you in this country, gentlemen, the
cry comes up, as it came up to Cain,
the blood OF our fellowmen cries out
from the ground to God Almighty;
the victims OF this traffic in every
cemetery and every graveyard in this
country cry out to God against us, you
and me. who have permitted this traf-
fee to exist so long. See to It that
In this court all violations of the reve-
nue. laws are thoroughly investigated,

ourselves on the side of utter and COM

Many housewives own curtains OF

Spread a sheet or two upon the
floor and lay the curtains carefully on
them.
Mix two parts OF bolted eornmeal

With clean brush rub the mixture
thoroughly through the curtains.
Hang out OF doors for a couple of
hours and the curtains will be sweet
