STORY, THE SULPTOR, He Was a Fine Painter, Musician end Linguist. Story, the distinguished American sculp- tor, died at Vallombrosa, Italy, Sunday, aged seyenty six. Willlam Wetmore Story was born in Salem, Mass., on February 19, 1819. In 1883 he graduated at Harvard, studied law, and was aimitted to the Essex bar. In 1818 he yielded to the promptings of his great genius for art, and, renouncing the legal profession, he sa‘led for Italy, which country has since been his home. He had shown a capacity for painting great enough to have won a renown with the brush equal to that which he acquired with the chisel. He devoted time enough to the kindred art of harmony to become an accomplished musician, and became a suc- cessful student of languages, using three or four, either for speech or writing, with fluency, grace and precision. His statue of his father in the chapel of Mt. Auburn cemetery, of Edward Everett in the Boston public garden, busts of James Russell Lowell, Theodore Parker and Josiah Quincy, and the sitting statue of Chief Jus- tice Marshall, in front of the west terrace of the Capitol fn this city, are well-known examples of his art. He was a United States commissioner of fine arts to the world’s fatr at Paris in 1879, and had re- ceived decorations from France and Italy. Mr. Story held a professorship in the Acad- em‘e d'Egle Arcadia Sta Cecilia, and had received the degree of D. C. L. in the Uni- versity of Oxford and an honorary degree from the University of Bologna on its South anniversary. his other works are “Sappho,” “Helen,” “Judith,” “Sa “Jerusalem in Her Desolat!o and “Thetis and Achilles.” His “Cleopatra” and “Semiramis” are now in the Metropoll- tan Museum of Art in New York city. ———§-es—_ Under Four Cabinet Officers.

Secretary Padgett of Columbia Typographical Union Disappears. SUSPICION OF FINANCIAL TROUBLES Yet His Accounts So Far Seem to Be All Right. EXCITED PRINTERS The members of Columbia Typographical Union were shocked yesterday to learn that their secretary, Frank H. Padgett, had apparently fied, a defaulter to the amount of about $3,000. Mr. Padgett has teen the secretary of the union for eight years, and was a most popular member of the organization. Last July at the annual election he was re-elected by an overwhelming majority and leading his ticket, the vote being 866 for Padgett to 200 for his opponent. He learned his trade in Washington, and has lived here all his life. He began as an apprentice in the office of the Army and Navy Register, and has worked for nearly all the leading newspapers here and also in the government printing office. He has always Leen esteein- ed as a man of the highest probity. Record for Probity. During the elght years that he has been secretary of the union Mr. Padgett has handled upward of $150,000 without a shortage of a single @ent. He entered the office following an official who had given the untor considerable trouble in the mat- ter of financial responsibilities, so that he was always mindful of the confidence that was reposed in him and apparently strove to deserve it. He received a salary of $1,200 a year and gave his entire time to the business of the union. All the moneys of the union passed through 4is hands. He collected dues from the members, re- ceived rents for offices in the building be- longing to the union, paid out relief moneys to members of the union out of work and on special occasions was entrust- ed with the funds of the union for various uses. While he had, to a certain extent, dis- cretiona.y powers in the handling of the money of the union, there was a check upon him every month when he was re- quired to make his report of receipts and expenditures to the auditing committee, and, upon their auditing his statement, to make a settlement with the treasurer. No Proof of Defalcation. So far as the strictest inquiry could as- certain today there is no evidence that Mr. Padgett has made way with any of the funds of the union. At the office of the union Mr. Padgett’s desk and papers were found in their vsual condition. The safe has not been opened since his disap- pearance, ard he alone knows the com- bination. This morning a locksmith was called in and opened the various drawers in the secretary's desk, but was not per- mitted to tamper with the safe. ‘The officers and trustees of the union thought it best to have the safe opened in the presence of Mr. Padgett’s bondsmen, who are a Baltimore trust concern. From Mr. Padgett’s papers it appears that he has made the regular monthly payments expected of him. About $400 interest was paid this month on the debt on the build- ing. Something like $100 has also been paid to the Internation! Typographical Union, being the shara of dues required of the local uaion. It was for a time feared that the money placed in Mr. Pad- gett's hands for the expenses of the mem- bers of the union on Labor day had dis- appeared. He had the paying of the va- rious bills against the union incurred in the demonstration. It was found that he had paid about $600 worth of these bills, the aggregate amount being in the neigh- borhood of $1,000. No unpaid bills for La- bor day expenses have been presented to- day to the officers of the union, although it is supposed that there are some out- standing. Causes Excitement. Naturally, the announ:ement of Mr. Pad- gett’s disappearance caused a great deal of excitement among members of the union. ‘Ihe offices in Typographical Temple con- tained all day long a gathering of printers earnestly discussing the mystery and nar- rating circumstances in their acquaintance with Mr. Padgett which would go to show he was, or was not, a defaulter, according to the view which each individual took of the affair. A number of printers frankly admitted that they had borrowed money of Mr. Padgett, but in such small amounts that the aggregate could not have been the cause of his flight. One printer who has been without work for several months, mentioned a fact which goes to show that the secretary had been remiss in his book- keeping. This printer sald that he had re- ceived four regular relief allowances, amounting to $25 each, without giving re- ceipts for them. It was agreed quite generally among printers that while Mr. Padgett was a good- hearted and honest man, he had been lax in his methcds of administration and un- doubtedly careless in keeping his books posted up, although he was a good book- keeper. One printer s that he had not posted his books since last January. Others said they were posted up to and including July, when the union voted to give their Secretary a month's leave, and Mr. Padgett, with his family, left the city for a few weeks. At that tfme his books got behind. Since his return he had been sick a good deal of the time with malarial fever, which ageravated the delinquency. Friends had offered to assiat him in bringing his books up to date, but he had invariably thanked them and declined their proffers. Various Stories. Two theories to account for his disap- pearance have currency among his friends. One is that he became delirious after sev- eral weeks’ illuess which constantly threat- ened to develop into typhoid fever, and, like young Deloe, the Washington printer who disappeared from DuBois, Pa., the other day, has wandered off suddenly, with- out giving any warning of his condition, and that sooner or later he will be found. The other view of the matter is that Padgett had loaned a considerable sum of money to somebody, who has failed to pay vp, and in his mental distress over it has lost his head and run away. All his friends agree in saying that he was a man of most frugal habits, without any disposition to gamble, drink to excess or indulge in any mcney-losing practices. He was a home- loving man, selddm away from his” fireside at night, and to his family his disappeai ance is a terrible shock. Mrs. Padgett, by the advice of friends, has, with her mother, left her home for a few days and found a retreat with rela- tives, in order to avoid the continual in- quiry of newspaper men and others at the house. The sudden blow has prostrated her with grief, and she is under a physician's care. She knows absolutely nothing of her husband’s whereabouts, and only that he left thelr home Saturday morning in usual good spirits and without giving any inti- mation of what has happened. Not Gone to Chicago. Speculation as to the whereabouts of Mr. Padgett are active and various. Some of his printer friends think he ie still in the city. Others that he has wandered off afoot into the country. : The story that he went to Chicago is not believed at all among his friends. It comes from a printer named Clower, who from all accounts has a widespread reputation as an author of canards. His friends say that,if he were going to rtn away to Chicago ne would not have shown Fis ticket to anybody, and that Clower, who is a cripple, would not have been the man to see him off. Detectives have been communicated with in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Pittsburg, ard en alert watch is being kept at those points for the missing offi- cial. Nc word was received during the day giving any light as to Mr. Padgett’s whereebouts. President Tracy's View. George A. Tracy, the president of Columbia Typographieal Union, when seen this afternoon by a Star reporter, said: “I do not know what to say of Mr. Pad- gett's disappearance. I am very reluctant to believe that he has made way with any Mr. £ THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP,, ,, rt EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.

Thus far I have yet to learn of any delinquencies of this kind. Of course we have not access to all his papers, and I may not know the worst. He se2ms to have paid all the current cbligations of th union, and if there ts a defalcation it would be a very difficuli mat- ter to say what it fs or how m “Mr. Padgett has been secre: of the unton for eight years, and his friends have impressed it upon him, not only when he entered the office, but a good many times since, that the union relied on his honesty, and he has always been proud of his clean record in the office to which he was so often re-elected. He went to New York with me a week ago Saturday to attend a clam bake given by the printers of that city, to which the officers of our union were invited. He was not in good health at*that time, and the trip did not seem to improve his condition. Yet he was about, and no serious consequence apprehended. I am inclined to think that his disappearance is due to sickness, and that everything will yet prove to be all right.” A Temporary Secretary. The trustees of the union have taken charge cf the business intrusted to Mr. Padgett and Mr. Edward T. Toner has been designated as acting secretary. The fol- lowing notice has been pasted on the door of the secretary's office: Office Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, Washington, October 7, 1595.—To whom it may concern: All persons are hereby notified that the business of the above. ramed organization will hereafter be trai acted by Ed. T. Toner, acting secretary room Typographical Temple, 425 G street northwest. The public Is hereby warned against any future dealings with F. H. Padgett, as secretary of aforesaid union. GEO. A. TRACY, President C. T. U., No. 101. Mr. Toner occupies an office on the sec- ond floor of the union building, and 1s at- tending to the regular business uf the union. A member of the union who had occa- sion to accompany Mr. Padgett to St. Eliz- abeth’s Asylum a few days ago on the painful errand of taking thither a brother printer who had lost his mind, said this morning that Padgett seemed to be very much affected by what he saw there and to act himself very much as if he were losing his own mind. While at St. Eliza- beth’s Padgett remarked that he some- times felt that he should like to be there himself. . The Police Notified. Yesterday President Tracy of the Typo- graphical Union called at police headqu: ters and saw Acting Inspector Johnson abcut Padgett'’s disappearance. He complained that Padgett’s relatives were very much worried about his disap pearance ard thought he had gone to C! cago. Padgett, he explained, was probably temporarily insane or possibly he had been drinking. During his conversation he never once in- timated that there was anything wrong in his accounts. Before leaving, he asked that nothing be given to the newspapers about the case, and gave the officers a description of the miss- ing man. He described Padgett as being thirty: years old, five feet nime or ten inches ta brown, curly hair, heavy brown mustac and ruddy complexion, He was dressed in a dark suit of clothes, blue slouch hat aud wore an outing shirt. a. TWICE IN AWE K. Actress Bettina Gerard Figuring Ex- tensiv in the Divorce Court. Emily Augusta Crichton has obtained an order from Judge Gildersleeve of the su- perior court of New York to serve a sum- mons by publication in an action for an ab- solute divorce from William Crichton, who lives at Berkeley Springs, W. Va., when in this country, but who is now secretary of the United States consulate at Petropolis, Brazil. They were married in June, 18$s, and have a child of six years. Mrs. Crichton charges her husband with being unduly intimate with Bettina Gerard, the actress, at Berkeley Springs, August 12, 1892, and with other women at other times and places. The named corespondent was in the same court last Friday before Judge Dugro, suing for an absolute divorce on statutory grounds against her last husband, Actor Harrison Wolfe, whose real name is Williams. Williams was, it is stated, per- fectly willing that she should secure the di- vorce, but as the evidence was not sufficient under the statute, the case was adjourned for further testimony. It is said she de- clared her Intention of marrying William O'Rourke, one of the three brothers who are theatrical managers, when she secured her divorce from Williams. —_—_+e+___ The Children’s Guardians.

A meeting of the executive committee of the District Christian Endeavor Union was held last night at the Calvary Baptist Sun- day school house. This body is made up of the union officers and chairmen cf @he union committees, the presidents, corresponding secretaries and delegates from the various societies, together with the trustees of the United Society resident In Washington and the committee of ‘i. When. the roll was called last night fifty-three societies re- sponded—a large and gratifying attend- ance. An application for membership to the union was received from the society of the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Church and favorably acted upon. Reports From Committees. Reports were received from various com- mittees showing progress in the matter of getting started on the winter's work. The treasurer stated that there was a balance in his hands of about thirty dollars, and the various societies last night pledged the sum of $217.50 for the support of the union dur- ing the “ason. An invitation was received from the so- ciety of the Calvary Baptist Church of- fering the use of their rooms for the meet- ings of the executive committee. It was therefore resolved that all meetings of the executive committee during the year be held in the Sunday school house of the Cal- vary Church, beginning at $ o'clock on the first Monday in each month, Committee Conferences. The board of officers have arranged a series of committee conferences to be held simultaneously in different down-town churches on the evening of Friday, October 18. Two such conferences have already been held by the union, and the good results of such meetings have been apparent, giv- ing new ideas and infusing new life into the committee workers of the societies. The month of October has been chosen for these because during that month most of the societies elect new officers, and this will be an @cellent means, the board belleves, of starting them in their work. Each con- ference will have a leader, but his office will only be to conduct the meeting, leaving those present to do the talking. A list of questions has been prepared pertinent to the work of each committee, and these have been distributed in the hope that they will suggest to the Endeavorers the lines of work upon which they most need help. The board recommended the following appoint- ments of leaders of the committee confer- ences: 5 Prayer meeting committees, Miss Anna J. Bell; lookout committees, Miss Lizzle M. Warman; missionary committees, Miss Flor- ence Shuffle; social committees, Mr. George R. Linkins; Sunday school committees, Mr. Irwin B. Linton; good citizenship commit- tees, Mr. W. H. Pennell; good literature committees, Mr. Walter N. Weston; calling, relief and flower committees, Miss Emma E. Koehler; music committees, Mr. Charles 8. Clark. The places of meeting will be published in The Star as soon as the board has definitely determined upon them. Additions to Committees. The board recommended further that the following additions be made to union com- mittces, and the recommendations were adopted: Union missionary committee—Miss Mar- garet R. Sammons of the First Presby- terian Church, Mr. Wm. H. Dobson of the Eastern Presbyterian Church and Mr. E. J. Morton of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. On the union lookout committee—Mr. W. L.

Dickinson a tt Chicks of the First Bap- An important report from the committee of 96 was recelved and adopted. A full synopsis of this report has bsen heretofore published in The Star. Among its import- ant provisions the committee of ’96 1s em- powered to appoint all members of the va- rious subcommittees, about 3,000 in num- ber, or an average of forty from each so- ciety, who will help in the arrangements of the July convention. Prayers were offered at the meeting for Mr. James E. Pugh, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and a warm friend of Christian En- deavorers; Mr. John B. Sleman, jr., chair- man of the union press committee, and Miss Lucy Jurney, corresponding secretazy of the union, all of whom are confined to their rooms by illness of a more or less serious nature. Resolutions of sympathy were also adopted on the death of Miss Edythe Page of the Takoma Park Society. After the adjournment of the executive committee those members ir charge of the proposed banquet of deleg: to the Bos- ton convent‘on held a meeting and decided upon Friday, November 1, a3 the date for the reunion. A committee of arrangements vas appointed, consisting of Messrs. W. Everett, Percy S. Foster, Norman T. Elliott and John B. Sleman, jr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman, Mrs. Byrum and Miss Fox. TO PROTECT LIFE Completion of the Sewerage System Earnestly Urged. CITIZENS SEE THE COMMISSIONERS Typhoid Fever Attributed to Im. perfect Drainage. OTHER DISTRICT MATTERS An important hearing was held at the District building this morning. Messrs. C. C. Glever, 8: W. Woodward and Thos. W. Smith, the committee appointed by the board of trade to devise ways and means for the prevention of typhoid fever in the District of Columbia, met the Commission- ers in a private hearing and discussed the subject at length. It was unanimously agreed that the first and most important move should be the completion of the sew- erage system as recommended by the sew- erage commission. Medical authorities, it was urged, all agreed that typhoid fever in a majority of instances was caused by imperfect drainage, and it was of the ut- most importence that the city’s system of sewerage should be perfected. The pollu- tion of drinking water was largely due to imperfect drainage, the germs of the dis- ease gaining entrance to the wells through the saturated ground, made so by bad drainage. It was on these lines the com- mittee argued. There was no mistaking the Commissioners’ position. They were unant- mously in favor of the project and prom- ised thelr earnest support in the matter. It is expected that in their annual report to the President the Commissioners will call attention to this matter, and dwell up- on the importance of having the system of sewers completed as soon as practicable. In connection with this they will ask for a separate appropriation to complete the work, and if this fails, will in all proba- bility try and get a bond bill through au- thorizing the work. Liquor License Applications. The first day of November Is the limit, ac- cording to an order of the excise board, for applicants for liquor licenses to have their applications on file. If any are received after that date the applicant will be con- sidered in the light of a new dealer, and his place must remain closed until the ap- plication 1s finally disposed of. Already ap- plications are being received. The record this afternoon showed a total of seventy- feur applications for retail licenses re- ceived, as against ten for the same perlod last year. Up to the present time five wholesale applications have heen filed. Last year no applications of this character were received until the 17th. The Street Extensions. It will not be long now before the Com- missioners will have the second section of the street-extension plan ready. This af- ternoon Mr. Olmstead, who has charge of this section, will have a conference with Maj. Powell and explain the tentative map.
