Nordica Benefits by a Double Stroke of Good Luck. Special Dispatch to The Call ALTOONA, Pa., March 31.—By the find- ing, through a newspaper advertisemen:. of H. D. Ehler, who says he is her broth- er, Mme. Nordica, the famous singer, it is said, will come into half of a fortune of $300,000 which was left by her mother. who died in Mexico on February 20. The will provided that the money shoull be held in trust until the whereabouts of B. Ehler. son of the dead woman and brother of Nord became known, and then the fortune was to be equally divided The man who was missing was formerly an opern singer, but excessive use of his voice caused an impediment in his vocal or gans, and he left the stage. This was sev. eral years ago, and since then he has been following the occupation of a traveling photographer. Nordica had lost track of her brother, and after the death of her mother she began a search to find him. Finally E. C. McIntyre of Indlanapoiis was engaged by the singer to find the missing man. Melntyre searched through many States, and at last, coming te this “vicinity, he heard that a_ traveling photographer, answering the description of Ehler, had been plying his trade in the neighboring towns. He inserted an ad- vertisement in a local paper telling of th~ fortune that had come to H. B. Ehler by the death ‘of his mother and seeking ia- formation of him. While reading the paper last night in a hotel here Ehler saw the article. He appeared to be overjoved at the news of his good fortune, and boarded the first train for New York to get his share of the estate. Before leaving he said: “E. MclIntyre “is my cousin, = and Mme. Nordica is my sister. T had lost track of my mother, and had not seen her since the death of my father, sixteen vears ago.” Ehler formerly lived in Harrodsbure, Ky., and was active in politics there, hav- ing stumped the State for Taylor when héran against Goebel for Governor. Arrested on Bigamy Charge. EUREKA, March 31.—B. F. Durphy. who sold the Vance plant to A. B. Hammond and who is vet in his emplcy, was arrestel to-day by officers from Oregon on a charge of bigamy. He was taken away on_the Pomona this morning. This is the culmination of the troubles of Durphy and his former wife. He has been twice ar- rested here for alleged offenses growing out of the same matter and freed upon preliminary examinations.

LEADING LAY WHO WILL SUPPORT THE TRAGEDIAN, ROBERT DOWNING. NEW YORK, March 31.—In its forth- coming issue Leslie’s Weekly will print a paper by Colonel John S. Mosby, the famous Confederate raider, on *“The Dawn of the Real South:” in which he says: The real South is just at its birth. The growth of this child of the nation may be gradual, but in the end the South will be far richer and more powerful than the North, In the days to come the South will becoms the dominant section of the country. ‘Without the war of secession the South could never have hoped to attain the future that is now certain. Slavery was a great incubus, paralyzing natural energy. By abolishing this wrong our war benefited every State south of the Mason and Dixon line. The nemroes are producing more as freemen than they ever did as slaves; and the mass of the people are vastly better off to-day than hey were under the old ante-bellum system. Soclally as well as industrially the abolition of slavery was highly beneficial in Its results to the masses, for slavery was a great wrong and no community can exist in the highest state of happiness when its system is based on wrong. There are the soundest reagons for asserting that the negroes’ status is bound to improve. While they are not as near the equality with white people as they were under the system of slavery. they are certain to be absorbed by im- migration, and in this engulfment they will disappear. This is the natural and wisest so- lution of what we now call the ‘‘race prob- lem.” 3 Richmond is the city most likely to become in time the banking center and commercial headquarters of this country and therefore of the world. The days of the famous old city as a political capital are past. but its career as the central point of manufacture for the whole South and for the world at large is just beginning. While great forces have been work- ing for the change industrially and soclally the political change is hardly less marked. It is well-nigh folly to-day to speak of the ‘“Solid South.”” That, by the way, was a phrase of my own inventlon. When Hayes became the Republican candidate for President, I urged (in @ letter, August, 1876) that it was better for spme Southern man to support him, be- cause' if he were elected his administration must necessarily rest on whatever supported it. It was better for the Southern people to divide between the parties, so that, no matter which side won, there would be men friendly to South- ern people, who would control its Southern pol- fcy.” This contention is fully realized to-day and the “Solid South” belongs wholly to the political past. KIDDER’S CONDITION NOW MORE SERIOUS State Debris Commissioner Lapsss Into Unconsciousness and May Die in a Short Time. GRASS VALLEY, March 3L—John T. Kidder, State Debris Commissioner, is very low and may live but a few hours. He lapsed into unconsciousness yesterday and is breathing heavily. He does not utter a word and shows no_signs of rec- ognizing any of his family. Dr. Jones and the nurse say that while he may live three or four days he may pass off any minute. His disease is diabetes, coupled with a general breaking down. oy Soa Alleged Murderess Killed. LOUISVILLE, March 3L—Denver At- kins, known in Louisville as Pearl Price, ‘was struck a blow on the cheek to-day by Oscar Dockans, waich, while not hard knocked the woman off her feet ai caused her death a few hours later through a blood clot at the base of the brain. After the woman died a friend of hers declared the dead woman was want- ed at Little Rock for killing Ethel House. Dockans was arrested. the new ballot law?” he was asked. “The law of 1896 provided that any voter who in registering declared that he | could not read or write could, when he presented himself at the polls, call upon the ballot clerks, one a Democrat and the othey a Republican, and have their as- sistance in marking -his ticket. This pro- vision furnished the opportunity for cor- ruption. All that it was necessary to do was for a voter at registration to’say that { he could not read nor write. Then on election day, when he had made his bar- gain for his vote, he called for the ballot clerks and they saw him cast his ballot for the Democratic or Republican ticket, as the case might be. While the clerks were sworn not to divulge how any voter cast his ballot, yet the practical opera- tion of the law was that when the voter left the booth the clerk of the party whose ticket he voted could signal to a party watcher whether the voter had car- ried out his bargain. It was not a perfect system in the purchase of voters, hut it intimidated negroes who stand in fear of their party. *To accomplish a result so much desired by all c'tizens of Maryland and to secure pure elections, the Legislature enacted a law providing for a ballot identical in form to that used in Massachusetts for many years. The ticket is to be pub- lished in magnified type in_the nefspa- ers prior to the election. Specimen bal- flns. printed on cardboard, will be distrib- uted in each election district two days be- fore election and an additional number on the day of election, so that party man- agers will have full opportunity to in- struct each voter how to mark his ballot before he goes into the booth.” If he can read or distinguish the difference between Republican and Democrat he will be able to mark his ticket without difficulty, or if he can be instructed to count he can likewise mark his ticket without trouble. All the Legislature has done is to pro- hibit one man from marking another man’s ticket.” Disfranchisement of Negroes. “But, Mr. Gorman,” I said, “it is staed in the discussion of the question that the law in operation—and it was so intended— will disfranchise 40.000 or 50,000 negroes in | your State, who have heretofore exer- cosed the right of suffrage.” Mr, Gorman replied: ““There are no data which accurately show the number of il- literate males in Maryland above the age of .21 years. In the registration books jarge numbers are recorded as illiterate, but, as I have shown, this largely arose from the fact that under the Republican law a voter who declared he was {lliterate was given assistance in marking his bal- lot. If there are many illiterates in Mary- land who will be affected by the passage of the present law, the blame lies with themselves. We have had the most per- fect system of public schools for thirty vears of anv State south of Pennsylvania. Since 1870 the colored population has had arninle opportunity to learn to read and write.” SAN JOSE RESIDENT ENDS LIFE IN ARIZONA William A. Watkins Commits Suicide by Shooting Top of His Head Off in Kingman. KINGMAN. Ariz., March 31.—Willlam A. ‘Watkins of San Jose, Cal., brother of H. H.

There was a large crowd of people at Market-street station waiting ihe train’s arrival, and when it rolled in the cheers from the spectators were deaf- ening. Division Superintendent Frazier was on board &:d‘:ihe train was in charge of Conductor uld. The train remained at the depot five minutes, and as it drew out there was another outburst of enthusiasm from the crowd. Mrs. E. O. Smith and John Joy, a retired mining man and capitalist of this city, were through pasesngers on, rain. i e a Mother local people journeyed as far as Gilroy and Salinas on the new train. On all cross streets along Fourth street crowds congregated and waved handkerchiefs and hats and cheered as the train went by. This scene was re- peated. at all fioumri/ towns and farm- uses along the route. hoAs the train_passed the Fourth-street depot Mrs. M. D. Hubbard tossed the en- gineer a large bunch of beautiful lilacs. The flowers were attached to a long pole, which was placed closed enough to the cab to permit the engineer to reach for them. He bewed and smiled appreciative- ly, while the men cheered and the women waved their handkerchiefs. San Joseans are jubilant that a regular gervice has commenced over the new route. They have long waited tc “e placed on a through line east, and now look for- ward to a great influx of visitors to San Jose and an era of prosperity for the Garden City.

TACOMA, Wash.. March 31.—When the Scandinavian-American Bank of What- com and the Bank of Blaine, under the same management, failed early in March it was expected that their assets would be sufficient to pay depositors as soon as they could be realized upon. Temporary Recelver Scouten now finds that this is he case. mgtésident St. John of both banks was in the East when the run on the Whatcom bank caused it to suspend. He has since gone to England, expecting to secure $83,000 on a matured life endowment pol- jcy. Results from this are made uncer- tain because his mother and brother have commenced suit to secure part of the money due. This leaves Receiver Scouten and S. M. Bruce, his attorney, dependent chiefly upon a dozen or more fine paint- ings, which tiey have secured from St. Jobn, for funds to pay the depositors. Bruce _says he expects to realize more than $50.000 from the pitcures. and claims some of them are worth $10.000 apiece. They are to be offered for sale in New York. ¥ Senator Mitchell Better.
