Hitchcock, lecturer, department of physical culture, Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Vermont, wrote on May 16 last: A “hear-say"* reputation may do for other reme- dics; Patne's celery compound Is best known from the mouths of men and women whom it has made well—they are in every city, town and village in the country. No one can pass the newspaper balletics without being reminded by how slight a thread the best of men hold on to life. The slight ups and downs in health from which people recover make them forget that there is a limit to the body’s elasticity and endurance. The habitually exhausted nervous sys- tem at last losch its power of recovery and offers no resistance to disease. “Prevent disease’’ is the watchword of the best medical thought of today. Cafeful men and women do not wait until they are flat on thelr backs as People once did.

The children thanked the Commissioner and promised that they would follow his suggestion, and No. “It affords me pleasure to add my testimony with others rezarding the healing effects of Paine’s celery compound upon an exhausted nervous sys- tem.” Aug. 12, 1897, she wrote: “As a rule I do not indorse medicines, but I belleve Paine’s celery compound to ve of a different order from the or- dinary medicin2s. ts cannot be disputed.

Th's estimable woman, whose Christian work is earnestly directed toward the betterment of others, and whose eminence In the W. C. T.

LARGE CROWD-GATHERS AT INQUEST (Continued from First Page.) Low in the effort to deprive him of any republican support. No intelligent person can doubt for an instant that if the re- Publican party can succeed in voting sub- stantially its full support for General Tracy he will be elected. The defection from Tammany Hall to George will be enormous, and in that situation the re- publican party is perfectly competent to elect iis ticket. The republican ticket can be defeated only by republican defections to Low, and in that event it is not Low who will be elects but Van Wyck. Our prime duty, therefore, is to prevent these republican defections to Low if we can: and the way to do that plainly is to ex- pose Low as the Tammany ally, which he really is.” The George Campaign. The George campaign is moving quietly and steadily. They are making few predic- tions, issuing few documents, seeming to prefer to let the whirl of excitement re- garding Dayton first exhaust itself. Henry George, however, today expressed himself as follows: “I am well pleased with the political situation. I see by the paper that vhere is trouble in Tammany, and that Croker’s name was hissed even in his own stronghold. It goes to show that the rank and file of the democratic party are opposed to the way in which Croker tas tried to force upon them candidates whom they did not wart. With a big bolt from Tammany, and the disagreement of opinion as to the unifying force of Low, I think the simor. pure Jeffersonian democracy wil! tard an excellent chance jn the coming campaign. I am willing, as I was in the campaign of 1886, to meet in joint discus- ston any of the real candidates for the mayoralty. It would no doubt be enter- taining to the masses to hear two or more of the candidates in the same evening trom the same platform in short talks. I think the committee will try to arrange a meeting for me with General Tracy, Judge Van Wyck or Seth Low. But it may be like it was in 1886, that the three bona fide candi- dates wil] not care to dignify the move- ment for which my name stands by meet- ing me in joint debate.” Mayor Strong came out hard and fast for Low last night. Incidentally he took a fling at President McKinley. The speech- making is going along at a lively rate in behalf of the Citizens’ Union candidate, and is about in the same vein. The on thing new to chronicle in the Low camp is that he has apparently given heed to th2 voice of his press agent, and has emerged from the privacy and exclusiveness indi- cated in yesterday’s letter. Today the sen- tinels who had stood guard at the entrance were removed, and all could see Mr. Low and shake his hand. He came down to th? big, bare front room on the first floor. where he received all callers. For the most part these were political workers, candidates and gentlemen with axes to grind. Mr. Low was especially attentive 10 strangers. He did little talking himseif, and led his visitors on to talk, and so learned some new things. The Citizens’ Union is paying rent of rooms in nearly every assembly district in the city for Iccal headquarters. In many of the dis- tricts they have large rooms, capable of seating several hundred persons. They are well supplied with stationery, and the walls are covered with lithographs of Seth Low, und altogether they afford excellent quar- ters for a homeless man to spend the even- ing. The doors are always open, and every passerby is free to enter. Figures of Statisticians. Campaign statisticians, the men who are paid to juggle with figures for a month be- fore election, are making reports and fore- casts of the results of tne fight In the Greater New York. These reports, which are made to the campaign managers from time to time, are compiled from political records, from district leaders, from trade and labor agitators and from a hundred and one other sources. As a rule the “ready reckoners” are kept out of the reach of the campaign workers, in order to be undis- turbed and uninfluenced by the madding crowd. At the present time the largest vote has been figured out by the lightning calculators for the Citizens’ Union Tammany democrat! andidat ‘They agree only on one point, “however, and that _is that the total vote will be close 00Q in_the Greater New York. The demoerats are chary of giving details. Gen- eralities and “claims” only are dealt in. Seth Low’s statisticians figure that he will poll 200,000 votes. There are two men atleast at the Citizens’ Union headquarters who have been making estimates of the strength of the various candidates. ‘They set great store there on the German-Ameri- can vote, and unless it goes as they reckon there will be a big discrepancy between the estimate and the result. The basis of the Citizens’ Union estimate is the 104,000 sig- natures to the petition asking for the nom- ination of Seth Low as the candidate for mayor. Chairman Quigg has a pair of statisti- cians at work. As a result of a conference between the two statisticians it was an- nounced ten days ago that Gen. Tracy would have a plurality of 5,000 votes over the second man in the race. Since the Bliss letter it is estimated that Gen. Tracy will be elected by a plurality of 15,000. It is now reckoned that VanWyck will get much of the vote that had been set aside for George in the first estimate, but that the Bliss letter and other aids to Tracy will not only counterbalance this, but add 10,000 to Gen. Tracy’s lead. “VanWyck will be elected by 65,000," re- marked one of the men in charge of the city campaign after the Tammany ratifi- cation last night. “How do I figure it? Well, practical campaigners don’t usually indulge in figures, especially at this time. It ig safe to say from district report: though, that VanWyck will have plurality in New York county on a vote of x We are told that Kings county will give the democratic city ticket 15,000 plu- rality. That's a little high, and allowance must be made for the anxiety of Kings county men to make a good report. will have 10,000 plurality in Brooklyn, how- ever, and we expect to make an cvea break in the other places. Georgeites Not Giving Figures. Nothing in the way of estimates can now be procured at the Henry George headquar- ters. The speaking and buttonholing cam- paign will not begin in earnest until tomor- row evening. The nearest that can be got to a prediction of the result is that “Henry George will surely be elected.” An effort is being made to induce William Jennings Bryan to write a letter in favor of Henry George as the democratic candi- date for raayor of Greater New York. Mr. Bryan is being bombarded with letters and telegrams by the Georgites to come out in favor of the distinguished single, taxer as the representative of the new and true democracy. Within the next three days a representative of Mr. George will start for the west with credentials from Mr. George for the purpose of inducing Mr. Bryan to declare his position in the fight. On the other hand, Tammany and the democratic organizations have several representatives in the west trying to induce Mr. Bryan to pronounce in favor of Judge Van Wyck. Owing to the attention which the Greater New York fight has attracted because of the manner in which it has become na- tional in plan and scope, Mr. Bryan may be forced to take a stand sooner or later. To @ man up a tree it would appear as if Mr. Bryan was “between the devil and the deep blue "and without much sea-room, either. If he writes in favor of Van Wyck the radicals, who are his best friends in the east, will never. forgive him. If he writes in favor of George and Tammany the will leave no stone un- Mother of Dead Woman Faints While Listéniig to Evidence. fe STROTHER SENT TO JAIL The inquest held at the sixth precinct sta- tion this morning over the remains of Rosa Talbert, the colored mistress of William Strother, who was so brutally killed by the latter in their room at No. 433 Franklin street early yesterday mogning, attracted a large crowd of colored men and women, the friends of both the prisoner and the wo- man. These people congregated on the sidewalk in front of the station and were permitted to remain there until the taking of testimony was* fin‘shed. Strother had been measured and pho- tographed for the gallery earlier in the morning, and he was given a seat in the room where he could listen to the evidence given against him. Seated near the pris- oner were Mrs. Talbert, mother of the dead woman, with her daughter and son, The women were dressed in deep mourning, and they were perhaps the most interested spec- tators, excluding the prisoner. Joseph C. Baylor, in whose house the people lived, was the first witness exam- ined. He told the coroner and jury that his wife had aroused him a few minutes before 6 o'clock yesterday: morning and told him that Strother was beating his wife. At first he thought she was mistaken, but he finally went up ahd asked what was the matter. In a few words Strother informed him that it wes none of-his business and refused to open the door for him. “Then I left the house,’ said Baylor, “and ran to the station as fast as my feet could carry me.” He returned to the house, he said, with gee ans and found that the woman was le: ‘How long had they lived in your house?” the coroner asked him. ‘One month tomorrow, sponse. Witness said they had quarrcled before, but, so far as he kiew, the man had evar hurt her. He knew very little about them: Mrs. Baylor's Evidence. Mrs. Emma Baylor, wife of the preceding witness, testified that when she heard the noise she called to her husband that the people upstairs were fighting. He thought not, but she insisted, and her husband went upstairs. Her husband could not get into the room. Mrs. Baylor said that before cailing her husband she had heard a noise in the room, as If there was a scuffle, and she heard the woman say to Strother: “Lift m@¥ip.” ‘This she repeated, and then her voice was heard no more. After her husband had left the house to call a policeman Strother, she said, came down stairs to the sink, and washed the blood from his face and hands. Policeman Lulton, -who, with Policeman Cooper, made the ‘arrest, exhibited the hatchet alleged to,;hae been used by the murderer. He testified that a few minutes before 6 o'clock yésterday morning he was ordered by the sergeant to go to the house on Franklin street wlth his brother officer, and when they rege 64 the prisoner's room the latier was stahiling at the door.

Policeman Cooper gave similar testimony. When they went to the house he climbed over,the back fence, fearing the murderer might attempt to escape through the al- ley. Entering the back door, he went up- stairs and met Strother, who was partly dressed. He asked: that he be’ permitted to remove his blood-stained garments and put on cleas. ones. This he was allowed to do, and he remarked that he could have escaped, if he had desired to, ‘when he went down to wash his face and hands. Witness told of the prisoner's admission as to the crime, and of his statement con- cerning the weapon. The Deputy Coroner's Story. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook told of the woman's injuries. She was a remarkably healthy woman, he said, and while she might have been between twenty and twen- ty-five years old, she was so horribly mu- tilated that her exact age could not be approximated. The injuries were confined to the upper part of her body and kead, and there were at least seven distinct blows struck. It was evident that both the sharp and blunt ends of the weapon had been used. Four of the wounds, he said, were necessarily fatal. Ten bones were fractured, ard thg woman's death, which was caused by acute hemorrhage, must have occurred within a few seconds of the time the wounds Were infilcted.

In Tammany precincts there is a fuller registrajon than in other sections of this city, which is taken as an indication that the regular democratic organization, which Tammany professes to be, is working with all its might to bring out votes to counter- act possible defections to Eenry George. The events of the last forty-eight hours seem to Indicate that Gen. Tracy is gain- ing strength, and not a few acute politi- cians are recorded as believing that the contest will be between him and Van Wyck. The straight republican organiza tion, it is pointed out, includes veteran campaigners, who as soon as they learned definitely that no compremire would be effected with the Citizens’ Union, recogniz- ed that the hardest kind of a conflict was before them. They took steps to meet the difficulties. Of money there is said to te no lack, and the unique spectacie is presented of contri- butions to the Tracy campaign fund by bankers and business men who faver and will vote for Low—at least a number ot prominent men are credite] with thus giv- ing and thus intending. An Uncivil Strife. Nothing is more noteworthy in this cam- paign than the internecine bitterness evelv- ed. It is ar “uncivil strife,” and many of the prominent leaders do not hesitate to apply epithets the most opprobious to each other. George and Dayton, demo- erats both, announce in the plainest terms that their fight Js against Tammany and Crokerism.

Chief Justice Bingham today sentenced Aaron J., alias Robert A., alias Richard A., Wheeler, a young colored man, to four years in the New Jersey state prison at hard labor on a piea of gullty of bigamy. Wheeler admitted that during the past two years he married three women, Mag- gie M. Clark, Louisa M. White and Rosa Smith. His attorney, Mr. Samuel D. Truitt, stated to the court that Wheeler’s previous character was an excellent one, and he asked for leniency, pleading that the pris- oner’s crime was the result of his ignorance and affectionate nature. “He will never marry again, I’m sure,” said Mr. Truitt. jot for several years,” remarked the ccurt. “His ignorance might have been urged in some slight extenuation of his offense in marrying the second woman, but not as to the third woman. Had he been indicted as to each he could be im- prisoned for seventeen years. He is en- litled to but slight consideration, outside of the fact of his previous good character. The offense is one which merits little less than the imposition of the extreme penalty for the first offense, five years, and the sentence I will make four years.” The next prisoner to be arraigned, An- drew, alias James A.
