A blind man knoweth that a woman is pretty when she sayeth she is sorry he cannot see. He that kicketh continually is like unto the mule: he is kept moving so that he may be too weary to kick. The praise of a triend maketh thee satisfied with work that is well done; the gibe of an enemy maketh thee do the work still better. Remember thee canst always get into a fight, and remember thou canst often be licked, so be thou careful to have good cause for fight- ing, and the chief cause is that thine opponent be smaller. My son, the hornet hath great respect because of its sting, but the honey bee hath an habitation and many friends because of its honey. So he who hath but sarcasm getteth naught, while he that hath sarcasm and likewise a jolly to hand about, he getteth on the inside. ANOTHER BIG FIRE AT CHELSEA, MASS.

REMAIN AT HELM Story of Change in Man- agement Untrae, FUNDS COMING IN SLOWLY Senator Crane of Massachusetts, Whom Gossip Said-Was to Become Republican Chairman, Had Been Summoned to Chicago to Discuss Financial Matters—Plenty of Noise Promised Within Another Week. Chicago, Sept. 22.—Stories to the ef- fect that there has been a change or is to be a change made in the manage- ment of the Republican national cam- paign appear to be without the slight- est foundation. The Associated Press has caused inquiries to be made in every place that could be expected to supply reliable information on the sub- jeot and it is declared that the cam- paign is being conducted along the lines originally planned and the pro- gramme will continue without altera- tion. Apparently the story that there is to be a change in the management of the campaign and that Chairman Hitcheock is to be subordinated in au- thority. although remaining nominally at the head of the committee, originat- ed from the announcement that Sena- tor Crane would visit Western head- SENATOR CRANE. quarters in this city and the fact that he had been in conference with Mr. Taft in Cincinnati. The truth of the case is that Senator Crane arrived in Chicago because he was requested by Mr. Hitchcock to meet him here at this time. The real purpose of the senator’s visit is the financial end of the campaign work. Senator Crane is a member of the advisory committee which was appointed by Chairman Hitchcock to consider ways and means. Funds Coming in Slowly. Funds for campaign purposes have been coming in slowly from the West and Middle West region and Senator Orane was asked to visit Chicago and confer with Fred W. Upham, the as- sistant treasurer of the national com- mittee. At the same time Mr. Hitch- cock desired to meet him in confer- ence, as he has met him several times in the past, to consider phases of the campaign work. Chairman Hitchcock arrived in Chi- cago at 8:30 a. m. and went to the Au- ditorium Annex, where he met a num- ber of men identified with the man- agement of the Western campaign. Ever since the campaign opened Mr. Hitchcock has been confronted with complaints that there has not been sufficient activity. These eriticisms have been difficult to meet for the rea- son, he said, that he cannot take the public into his confidence concerning all matters being handled at national headquarters. It has been Mr. Hitch cocks belief that nothing could be ac complished by pouring into a stata ammunition directed at the nationa! campaign when there is confliet guing on in the state over soms ivcal issue that entirely overshadswed the nation- al issue. Practically all of Mr. Hitch- cock’s advisers agreed that it would be the proper policy to settle these state quarrels before opening the na- tional campaign and it so happened that it was in the states regarded as doubtful that these conflicts were be- ing carried on. There will be plenty of noise in the campaign within another week to suit everybody, Mr. Hitchcock said. He refuses to be ruffied by the criticisms of his conduct of the campaign. MAKES PERSONAL APOLOGY Roosevelt Pacifies Man Affronted by Secret Service Guard. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 22.—Presi- dent Roosevelt invited to his home on Sagamore Hill Charles Kursman, one of the leading merchants, who was af- fronted by a secret service guard at the president’s reception to the vil- lagers on Thursday, assured him of his regret over the unpleasant inci- dent and made a personal apology, at the same time making it clear that his position made it impossible for him to make the apology public. Duluth Broker Dies on Train. St. Paul, Sept. 22.—Edgar G. Em- mons, aged forty-two, a Duluth stock broker, was found dead in his berth on the Milwaukee, just arrived in St. Paul from Omaha. Heart disease is said to be the cause. With his partner, W. F. Acker of Duluth, Emmons had been on a business trip to Salt Lake City. Bishop. Carmichael Dead. Montreal, Sept. 22.—Bishop Carmi- chael of the Church of England, dio- cese of Montreal, is dead of heart fail- ure. HITCHCOCK WILL | USED MAILS To DEFRAuD| Matrimonial Agent Herself the Sole Client and Attraction. Fresno, Cal, Sept. 22.—The arres! of Mrs. Margaret Walder, a young ‘woman who recently came from Min nesota, on a charge of using the mails to defraud, is sald to be due to tht alleged conducting of a matrimonia agency, with herself as the sole cliem and attraction. Mrs. Walder is said to have obtained money from various correspondents of domestic tendencies who wished her to join them in vari ous parts of the country. Her arrest it is said, followed the investigatior of a complaint made by S. R. John son, Jr., of Guthrie, Okla, who, it is said, had arranged to marry Mrs. Wal der and purchase for her an_ $18,00( ranch as a guaranty of his sincerity Mrs. Walder is said to have left a hus band and child in Minnesota. AFTER WOUNDING SHERIFF Burglars Who Loot Mark Twain's Home Are Captured. Redding, Conn., Sept. !.4—Two bur- lars who broke into the residence of emuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) in Redding were captured on a train be- tween Bethel and Redding after a desperate fight in which Deputy Sher- iff Banks of Redding was shot in the leg. The prisoners are believed tade professional crooks #ho cmhme fram New York for the express purpose of entering the Clemens villa. Miss Lyon, Mr. Clemens’ secretary, was aroused about midnight by the sound of breaking glass in the lower part ‘of the house. She went softly down the stairs to find a flood of light in the dining room and that the side- koard with its solid silver was miss- ing from its oustomary place in the room. Cautiously slipping along in the shadows to a point where she could have a view of the garden, to which her attention had been called by an open window in the dining room, Miss Lyon saw two men forcing the doors anddrawers of the side- board, which they had carried out. Miss Lyon summoned Mr. Clemens and the butler and then telephoned for Sheriff Banks and several neigh- bors. Before any of them reached the scene the burglars had fled with their booty, but the hurriedly formed posse started in pursuit. The two men were captured on a train at this point after a flerce fight, in which the sheriff was wounded twice and one of the men shot himself seriously in the head. The burglars had sorted all the solid sllver from the plated ware, but the gllver was recovered. NO INDICATIONS OF INTERNAL INJURIES Orville Wright Not Fafally Huri by Accident to Aeroplane, ‘Washington, Sept. 3.—Lying in the Fort Myer hospital with a fractured thigh and ribs Orville Wright, the aeronaut, who fell with Lieutenant Selfridge in an aeroplane accident, is making a manly fight for recovery. Through the night there was much angiety over the injured aviator's com- dition, but as dawn broke no indica- tions of internal injuries developed apd there was great relief expressed among those who were watching the progress of the patient. The accident, which resulted in the death of Lieutenant Selfridge and the fnjury of Mr. Wright, occurred while the aeroplanist was making a two- WRIGHT AEROPLANE. man flight. While the machine was encircling the drill grounds a propeller blade snapped off and, hitting some other part of the intricate mechanism, caused it to overturn in the air and fall to the ground, enveloping the two oeccupants in the debris. ‘When rescued from the debris Lieu- tenant $elfridge was unconscious from a {racture of the skull and he died three hours later. Mr. Wright also was seriously hurt and the aeroplane is a complete wreck. BY ORDER OF COURT. 8urgeons Amputate Arm of Fourteen- Year-Old Boy. Ohicago, Sept. .)J—The order of the eourt that the arm of fourteen- year-old Joseph Bolanda be amputated ‘was carried out at the county hos- pital. The lad’s last words as he lapsed into unconsciousness under the influence of ether were te plead that the arm be spared. The operation was neeessitated by gangrene, which had complicated a broken arm, but both the boy and his father protested so vigorously that the surgeons were compelled to go into eourt to secure permission for an op- eration, which they said was impera- tive to save the lad’s life. File Potition in Bankruptcy. Chicago, Sept. '.J.—Creditors of A.

REPORTERS QUESTION HIN Reiterates His Statement That the Giant Corporation Has Not Been Prosecuted and That No Prominent Republican Has Said Anything Against It—Addresses Commercial Travelers’ League of New York City. New York, Sept. ",\—Willlam J. Bryan on arrival here proceeded at ence to the Democratic headquarters in the Hoffman House. At Jersey City he was besieged by newspaper men who wanted him to elaborate his charge made at Harrington, Del,, and again at Wilmington that the officials of the United States Steel corpora- tion were supporting the Republican party in the campaign. In reply to the question, “Does your charge that the Republican party is protecting the steel trust extend to the chief executive?” he replied: “I stated what everybody knows— that the steel trust has not been prose- cuted and that no prominent Repub- lican has said anything against it. I have also said that the steel trust is supporting the Republican ticket and that the Republican national ®ommit- tee will not care to publish before elcction the contributions which they will receive from the oficials of the steel trust. Mr. Sheldon virtually ad- mits this in an interview in the New York Herald. He is the treasurer of the Republican national committee and as I understand it a director of constituent corporations of the steel trust. He is quoted as saying: ‘If a member of the axecutive committee or an officer of the United States Steel corporation wishes to support the Re- publican party has he not the same right as any other individual? ” Never Endorsed Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan said in an interview that he was satisfied in' the event of his election that no legitimate interest would be jeopardized or suffer. He declared that he had never endorsed Mr. Roosevelt, but had criticised him when he thought he was wrong and commended him when he thought the president was right and had done this without waiting to see whether his actions were popular or not. “Bome of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies,” said Mr. Bryan, “are popular in the ‘West and some are unpopular and the popular ones are those which have been borrowed from the Democratic party.” 80 large a crowd filled Broadway, intent on seeing Mr. Bryan when he arrived at the rooms of the Commer- cial Travelers’ league to deliver a speech, that the police had difficulty in forcing a way for the candidate’s automobile through the demonstrative throng. In his speech Mr. Bryan first took up the trust question, which, he said, was closest to the traveling men. A complete monopoly, he gaid, would re- sult in the complete loss of the travel- ing man’s business. A brainy man would then be unnecessary, a son-in- law would do. The buyer would have to come to the monopolist to purchase and the traveling man would not be needed. MONTANA REPUBLICANS. Convention at Helena Nominates a State Ticket.

GOMPERS REFUSES T0 ANSWER QUESTIONS Hearing in Gontempt Case sfis- pended for a Time, Washington, Sept. “J.—The taking of testimony in the contempt proceed- ings against Messrs. Gompers, Mitohell and Morrison, officers of the Federa- tion of Labor, came suddenly to a temporary close. Mr. Davenport sought to question Mr. Gompers con- cerning editorfals printed in the cur- rent September number of the Federa- tlonist and on the advice of counsel Mr. Gompers refused to answer be- cause the utterances had been made since the filing of the contempt péti- tion. A number of questions bearing upon this issue were put to the wit- ness and it was agreed that they should be certified to Justice Gould to determine whether they were rev- elent. It is probable that they will be presented to the court or Monday. Mr. Ralston took oceasion to state that he did not so much object to Mr. Gom- pers replying to the questions regard- | ing the September Federationist as he did to Mr. Davenport’s effort to pile up unnecessary testimony.
