% BRYAN FAVORS HEARST COMES OUT OPENLY IN SUPPORT OF EDITOR'S CANDIDACY FOR GOVERNOR. R00T'S SPEECH WIDELY CIRCULATED HI8 ATTACK ON HEARST MAILED TO EIGHT HUNDRED THOU- SAND VOTERS. New York, Nov. 3.—Any doubt that may have existed as to the attitude of William Jennings Bryan toward the candidacy of William Randolph Hearst was removed during the day when Rird 8. Coler, president of the borough of Brooklyn, gave out a portion of a letter from William J. Bryan saying that the Nebraskan is “very anxious to see Hearst elected. This endorse- ment of Mr. Hearst was made public with Mr. Bryan's consent. The cablegram sent by Richard Croker, the old Tammany leader, to Senator McCarren of Brooklyn and the interview with Mr. Croker printed in the Freeman's Journal continues to excite much comment. Charles F. Murphy, the present Tammany leader, when asked what effect he thought the cablegram and interview would dave upon the coming state election sald he di& not think that either they or the speech delivered by Secretary of State Root at Utica would change more than a few votes. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate for governor, is on the last stage of his last up state tour. Mr. Hearst spent rather a quiet day on account of the serious condition of his throat as a result of the many speeches which he has delivered dur- ing the past few days. The Republican state committee has begun to send out through the mails a small pamphlet containing extracts from the speech of Secretary of State Elihu Root at Utica. Approximately %00,000 copies will be sent out imme- diately. ROOT DENOUNCES HEARST. Expresses Roosevelt's Views In Speech at Utica, N. Y. Ullca N. Y, Nov. 3.—Declaring that Theodore Roosevelt and William Ran- dolph Hearst “are as far apart as the poles are asunder” Elihu Root, secre- tary of state, said to an audience here: “Listen to what President Roosevelt himself has said of Mr. Hearst and his kind. In President Roosevelt's first message to congress, in speaking of the assassin of McKinley, he spoke of him as ‘Inflamed by the reckless utterances of those who, on the stump L“ONDON MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Liberal and Lahor Parties Lose Con- trol of Affairs. London, Nov. 8.—The triennial elec- tions of the London borough councils have resulted in an overwhelming vic- tory for the municipal reformers, who, in some of the boroughs, absolutely wiped out the progressives. The vie- tors were formerly known as moder- stes and represent the Unionist party and the progressives include the: Lib- eral and Labor parties. After several years of progressive reginre, during which, it Is contended, the taxes were Increased to abnormal figures in con- sequence of huge expenditures, includ- ing palatial workhouses, Turkish baths for workmen, who did not use them, and clubhouses and other similar mu- nicipal luxuries, the borough councils are once again great strongholds of Toryism, The full figures are not yet available. but up to noon the munie- ipal reformers had won 610 seats, the progressives 222 and the Labor and independent candidates 77 out of a total of 1,362. The provincial muhnicipal elections also have resulted in a rout for the Liberals. The campaigns in the prov- inces were mostly conducted on polit- ical party lines. Incomplete results show that the Liberals have sustained a net loss of thirty-three representa- tives and that the Conservatives have a net gain of fifty-nine. The Labor party has a net gain of nine. In London the Labor party candi- dates seem to have fared even worse than the progressives, but they made small gains in the provinces. SAY THEY EXPECT NO STRIKE. Railroad Managers Discuss Demands of Employes. New York, Nov. 3.—Railroad offi- cials who have been conferring with thelr employes regarding demands by the latter for increased pay and short- er hours say that the conferences have been satisfactory and they ex- pect no trouble. Frederick P. Under- wood, president of the Erie, said: “The engineers and firemen are re- celving the best wages they ever re- ceived. The conditions are not strike conditions, Men strike when their wages are cut. This year there will be more to adjust than at any other time. Some of-the roads-in- the Erie merger pay by the mile and some by the day and we have been looking for an opportunity to obtain some kind of uniformity. We believe the mileage rate to be the most equitable that is possible and the majority of the men, I believe, think the same way.” Superintendent C. R. Smith of the New York Central said the proposals made by the men were being consid- ered and that there would probably be another conference. WALKER LAKE OPENING. Disappointed Prospectors Will Protest to Washington, Hawthorne, Nev., Nov. 3.—Numer- ous prospectors who failed to secure claims on the Walker Lake Indian res- and in the public press, appeal to the dark and evil spirits of malice and areed, envy and sullen hatred. The wind is sowed by the men who preach such doctrines and they cannot escape their share of responsibility for the whirlwind that is reaped. This ap- plies to the deliberate demagogue, to the exploiter of sensationalism and to the crude and foolish visionary who, for whatever reason, apologizes for crime or excites aimless discontent.’ “I say by the president’s authority that, in penning these words, with the horror of President MoKinley's mur- der fresh before him, he had Mr. Hearst specifioally in his mind. “And 1 say by his authority,” con- cluded the secretary of state, “that what he thought of Mr. Hearst then he thinks of Mr. Hearst now.” WRITES TO BIRD 8. COLER. Bryan Anxious to See Hearst Win Governorship, New York, Nov. 3.—William J. Bryan has written a letter to Bird' S. Coler, borough president of Brooklyn, endorsing the candidacy of Willlam R. Hearst for governor. Mr. Bryan's let- ter folows: “I am very anxious to see Hearst elected and would have come to New York to help him if T thought an out- slde speaker would have been of as- sistance. KFrom indications, however, he Is going to win, as he ought to. If I have any friends there I want them to vote for him.” Mr. Coler, in giving out the letter, sald: “Mr. Bryan's letter should be enough for all Democrats in this state. As for independents I cannot imagine that they are going to take the advice of the piratical leaders of the old predatory political system. They will, 1 think, before voting, ask themselves why it is that every leading bene- ficiary of -what was known as commer- cialism in politics is now bitterly and hysterically hostile to Mr. Hearst. Some of Mr. Hearst’s newspaper op- ponents must think the American pub- le has lost its sense of humor when they solemnly quote- statements of Croker and McCarren, those-ideal re- formers.” Shipmate of Admiral Dewey. Pittsburg, Nov. 3.—Guy Samson, aixty-six years old, an insurance broker and shinmate of Admirals S8ampson and Dewey during the Civil war, died here as the result of a bullet wound through the heart. Mr. Samson has been in ill health for years, but whether he committed suicide or was accidentally shot has not yet been de- termined, ervation are endeavoring to perfect an organization for the purpose of malk- ing formal protest to the authorities at Washington, They will endegvor to have the opening annulled on the ground that it was not properly con- ducted and they will ask that, if the reservation is opened anew, cavalry be placed in charge of the reservation at least two weeks before the signal is given to start. Considerable disorder now exists at Dutch Creek camp on account of the establishment of sev- eral saloons in the new mining town. The miners have voted to allow no Chinese or Japanese to camp and have appointed a committee of seven to whom all disputes over claims and townsites will be referred for arbitra- tion, A health committee was named to lay out a sanitary district. WEAVER AGAIN A RE;UBLICAN. Mayor of Philadelphia Quits the City Party, Philadelphia, Nov. 3.—Mayor Wea- ver has announced that he has re- turned to the Republican fold and will vote for Ldwin 8. Stuart, the party candidate for governor, and Samuel P. Rotan, Republican candidate for district attorney of Philadelphia. Since his .renunciation of the Re- publican organization and its leaders eighteen months ago Mayor Weaver has been actively interested in the local reform organization known as the City party. Now he repudiates that party in a statement in which he accuses the leaders of conducting a political game with which he is not in sympathy. He declares that under the so-called reformers the city is in danger of a worse system of bossism than ever existed here before. GIVEN FREEDOM OF CITY. Ambassador Reid Speaks at- Dundee, ) Scotland. Dundee, Scotland, Nov. 3.—The freedom of ‘the city of Dundee was conferred on Whitelaw Reid, the American ambassador.

London, Nov. 3.—A dispatch to. a news agency from St. Petersburg says that the woman who escaped with th $188,824 wagon Oct. 27 has been arrested, but that the money has not been recov- ered. She is described as a Jewess belonging to Bflnphorupll, capital of Taurid pmvlnco. i OUTWIT THE MILITARY UTES REPORTED TO HAVE LEFT MONTANA AND RETURNED TO WYOMING. s AID GOVERNMENT - SUPPLY- TRAIN REDSKINS MAKE SUDDEN DASH FROM HILLS AND CAPTURE LOAD OF FLOUR. Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. 3.—Further fetails of the raiding of a government supply train bound for the camps of the Tenth and Sixth cavalry from Ar- vada characterize it as a clever piece of work, evidently planned by some of the older heads of the Ute tribe. Ac- cording to Driver James. Forgen no Indians were in sight until a bunch of about 100 redskins suddenly dashed out of a defile in the hills and quickly surrounded him. They made little noise outside of a few sharp yells in the nature of commands and while several Indians kept Forgen under their rifies the balance rified his wagon train of 3,000 pounds of flour, the sacks of which were strapped to the cayuses of the Indlans, who then disappeared into the hills. As the resuit of the raiding of the supply train the troopers are in need and the operations looking to a chase of the Utes are practically at a stand- still until supplies can be had. More supply trains will be sent out from Arvada at once. Troops from Fort Keogh with supplies are now at Ash- land en route to the camp of the Tenth near Moorhead. The Utes have completely outwitted the military and are now reported back in Wyoming on the Powder river, retracing the route by which they en- tered Montana. They evidently knew of the arrival of the troops at Ashland and have either given up the attempt to reach the Cheyennes or are wait- ing for that band to meet them -in some other part of the country. The Utes on Bear creek have not moved, according to (elephone advices re- ceived here, WOULD POWWOW WITH TROOPS. Uteé Chief Appar Reported Deposed by His Tribe. Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. 3.—A corre- spondent in the field denies positively the report that there has been a clash between the Cheyennes and the sol- diers. Fort Keogh troops are now patrolling Tongne River valley be- tween Birney and Ashland and have not seen any Cheyennes. Reports of the burning of a ranch building at the “0. W.” ranch received here via Bir- ney are not credited, although it is known that Indians were in that vicin- ity. The Ute chief, Appar, is reported deposed by his tribe because he fa- vored a powwow with the troops. It is said he was supplanted by Black ‘Whiskers and Red Cap, who favor un- ion with the Cheyennes and offering resistance. American’ Horse, an In- dian scout employed by the govern- ment, will take part in a conference between Indians and soldiers to be held shortly. IN HALF A CENTURY.

He made his first money on the racecourses and subsequently became identified with a number of large businesses. George Herring was chairman of the City of London Electric Lighting com- pany, Electric and General Investment company, Municipal Trust company and several mining companies. In December last he donated $500,000 to the Salvation Army for use in a home colonization scheme, the Army engag- ing to repay thig sum, in twenty-five annual installments, to the king's hos- pital fund. The plan was g purchase tracts of land in England, giving five acres or thereabouts to each settler, building cottages, providing seed and implements and supporting the set- tlers until the land had become pro- ductive. Each settler was to repay the Army in installments. In this manner the Salvation Army hoped .to provide for those who for various rea- sons were unable to leave England under the emigration schemes of the Army. Mr. Herring conducted a soup kitchen in Camdentown, London, built and endowed an institution known as the Haven of Rest for gentle folk brought to poverty through genuine misfortune and furnished a number of Salyation Army shelters for the home- less, RUN DOWN BY MOTORMAN. Gang of Boy Bandits Attempts to Hold Up Car. Hartford City, Ind., Nov. 3.—Play- ing that he was a real bandit nearly cost sixteen-vear-old Ben Anderson his Ife when, with a number of compan- ions, he sought to hold up in true Wild West style an interurban car south of here. Disguised as highwaymen and mounted on horseback they rushed out in front of the car with shouts of “halt.” "Anderson was the leader and, driving his horse on the track, de- manded of the motorman that he throw up his hands. Instead of stopping his car the mo- torman turned on more current. The car struck the horse, killing it in- stantly and seriously injuring the rider.

The ants which are really protective to plants are not those which obtain *heir food, indirectly for the most part through the aphides, from the vegeta- ble kingdom, but those which are real- ly carnivorous. These are numerous In temperate climates, and their useful- aess to agriculture and sylviculture is Incontestable. Thus the field ant is a great insect destroyer. A nest of this #pecies is capable of destroying as many as twenty-eight caterpillars and grasshoppers a minute, or 1,600 an hour, and such a colony is at work day and night during the pleasant season. In the arid plains of America the beneficent work of ants is revealed In the isles of verdure around their bills. There are plants hospitable to ants, which furnish them shelter and often food, within the cavities of which the instincts of the ants prompt them to take their abode. This is the case with several ferns, among them the Polypodium nectariferum, the sterile fronds of which bear nectaries on their lower face and are, moreover, of a shape favorable to sheltering the In- Bect. Sign of a Trained Nurse. “I used to wonder why it was that I noticed so many young women lugging suit cases all over town,” said the man on the street corner. “At first I thought | perhaps they were independent young persons who were on their way to the Grand Central station or to the ferry- boats to take trains, but then I no- Heed them in parts of the town where they couldn’t possibly be making for a railroad station, since they were go- Ing in the wrong directions. Now I have learned .who these women are. Most of them are trained nurses. When they leave the hospitals or their homes to attend a case they pack their uni- forms and other necessaries in these suit cases, which they carry with them. So when you see a young wom- an carrying a snit case and bound in a direction away from a boat or railroad station it's very likely she’s a trained nurse and is either starting out to at- tend a case or is returning from one.” ~New York Press. Colors of the Bluebird. Of the male bluebird Thoreau said, ~He carries the sky on his back.” To this John Burroughs added, “and the earth on his breast.” The bird’s back, wings and tail, chin and throat are a vivid blue, while his breast and flanks are a chestnut brown and his abdomen a dirty white. The female is very much duller in coloring, often having a red- dish tone that extends from the middle of the back over the shoulder. The Seminole Indians say that the male bluebird once flew so high that his 2back rubbed against the sky, which imparted to him its own azure tint. Returning to earth, his wife so admired fis new coat that she determined to have a like one for herself and the next morning flew away to get it, but the day proving somewhat cloudy the col- or given to her dress was not so bril- Uant as was that received by her maie. ‘The World A world without mistakes and with- out suffering would be a world without real men and women, without litera- ture, without music, without painting or sculpture and without love, and even without history, for history is a record of struggles toward better and higher. things. Without obstacles to overcome and errors to correct men and women would lapse to a level with beasts in mentality. Intellectual and spiritual development would cease and souls not refined by the fire of ordeals would die of something akin to fatty degeneration.- The races would perish of ennui or inanity. After all, it's a pretty fair sort of world as it stands. —Louisville Courier-Journal. The Aleutian Islands. Until the time of Peter the Great the Aleutian islands were unknown. The famous Russian monarch, consumed with curiosity as to the distance be- tween Asia and America, started, in 1725, the first of the expeditions that at last revealed those haunts of the bear, the beaver, the ermine and the seal. But Captain Cook told more about the islands than did all the Rus- sian explorers before him. The Price. It one sets one’s heart on the ex- ceptional, the far off—on riches, on fame, on power—the chances are he will be disappointed. He will waste his time seeking a short cut to these things. There is no short cut. For anything worth having one must pay the price, and the price is always work, patience, love, self sacrifice—no prom- Ise to pay, but the gold of real service.
