Says Wage Earners Are the Natural Ene-
mies’ of Assassins.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 29.—Mother Jones
spoke at Paterson, N. J., last night in
Apollo hall to an audience of about 1800
persons. Her talk was socialistic. It was
the largest and most successful labor
meeting held in Paterson for several years.
Of the assassination of President McKin-
ley she spoke at some length, saying that
it was an act to be deplored, for the man
who struck at the head of the nation
struck at all the people and meant to do
the people harm. Violence, she said, was
not to be thought of. The law gave the
workers their redress at the ballot box,
and any man who sought other means to
bring about better times did wrong, and
every wage earner was a natural enemy
of the assassin.

Gen. Hubbard Buys Some Important Hunt-
ington Holdings.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 29.—Gen. Thomas
Hubbard has acquired the holdings of the
Huntington estate in the Pacific Improve-
ment company, says the Times. The pur-
chase of this interest ends the connection
of the Huntington estate with the large
western enterprises with which the late
Collis P. Huntington was identified.
The Pacific Improvement company now
owns a controlling interest in the Guate-
mala railroad. It also owns the Hotel Del-
monte at Monterey, Cali.; several cattle
• ranges and large tracts of grazing lands
in Texas and mining and timber lands in
British Columbia. The capital stock of
the company is $5,090,000. It is closely held
by the Stanford, Crocker and Hopkins es-
tates.

“WHOSE BABY ARE YOU?”
Mr. Myron B. Rice, who- will be remem-
bered for having given to the theater-
going public that great laugh-provoker,
“My Friend From India,” will present at
the Grand the latest production from th§
pen of Mark E. Swan, entitled, “Whose
Eaby Are You?” Mr. S^an iS the au-
thor of “Brown’s ip. Tbwn,” which has
successfully tpe country the past
two g^Asons, but in “Whose Baby Are
You” he has undoubtedly excelled his pre-
vious efforts.
The peculiar title of the play is some-
what deceptive and likely to lead to false
conclusions, but for a good, clean fun-
maker, “Whose Baby Are You?” takes
rank as a farce of high order. Unlike
most farces it depends entirely upon the
plot which is exceedingly funny and af-
fords abundant opportunity for all sorts
of ridiculous and laughable scenes and
incidents which are well taken care of by
the author.

Mysterious Case of Alleged. Poisoning
Cleared Up.
South Bend, Ind., Oct. 29.—South
Bend’s mysterious case of poisoning in
the Webb family has been claered up.
A post mortem on the body of Charles
Webb revealed the fact that he, his
mother, Mrs. Rebecca Webb, and his
sister, Cora Webb, were victims of
asphyxiation. Coroner Renoe has re-
turned a verdict to that effect. With
the filing of the verdict U. G. Webb
was released by the police and all
charges against him were dismissed.
a Brother
Castro.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 29.—Carmelio Cas-
tro, a brother of the president of Venezue-
la, has just shot his mistress, cables the
Caracas correspondent of the Tribune.
The latter was in a carriage with a rival.
Castro followed the carriage, and in a dark
street stopped the vehicle, mounted the
box and fired until the revolver was
empty. His rival returned the fire, wound-
ing Castro slightly. The woman was shot
in the neck and breast. She will probably
die. The man who accompanied the wom-
an received a bullet in one of his legs.
Castro was arrested. To his jailer
threatened to commit suicide.

Manila today. She had a storm voyage.
On Friday night of this week the

In this she lias been pronounced peer-

and she has dignified her gift of repro-

rounded In childhood into a charming
profession. That life which is yet so
dear In the memory of the south is

ences as she croons the darkey

Pains, Backache, etc., by Lydia ; E. Pink-

“Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — After suffering for months with a
complication of female troubles, causing severe bearing-down pains
and backache, feeling constantly fatigued and unable to stand up
without great weariness, great relief came to me when a friend
advised me to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
which I did. It was worth more to me than all other medicines I ever
tried, which only seemed to poison my system, while your Compound
healed me. I took your pills in connection, and they seemed to help
cast the poison and waste matter out of the system. I used the
Compound for six weeks and was then completely cured, and while
this was eighteen months ago I have had no relapse, but have en-
joyed the best of health ever since. I wish that every poor dragged-
down, suffering woman might know that it would bring them health
to consult you and use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and I always do what I can to tell them of it.” — Mrs. H. S, Wag-
staff, 1380 McGee St., Kansas City, Mo.

Internal Peace Has Been Proclaimed In
Venezuela.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 29.—Under date of
Caracas, Oct. 30, E. Esteves, Venezuelan
consul, has received the following cable
from President Castro:
“Internal peace has been
claimed.
Commenting on the dispatch the consul
said: “The revolution, so far as Vnezuela
is concerned, is quashed. This proclama-
tion was made on the anniversary of the
birth of that great patriot, Bolivar. To-
day was a holiday throughout all Vene-
zuela.
“Fighting has ceased on the Colombian
frontier, though troops are still retained
at important points to safeguard and
guarantee the peace that has been pro-
claimed.”

THE ORIGIN OF “O. K.”
G. Fields, the Noted Minstrel, Hears
the Story From Gen. Keifer.
Al. G. Field has discovered the origin of
the sign “O. K,” which is universally used
as an abbrevation for “all right.”
“I was in Springfield last week,” said
Mr. Field, “and for the first time in my
life learned the origin of O. K., which is
used the world over to signify that every-
thing is in good condition. Hon. J. War-
ren Keifer, former speaker of the house
of representatives, took me for a carriage
ride and while riding along the old Nation-
al road we came to an ancient building
which in early times was one of the fa-
mous hostelries along the pike from Balti-
more to- Cincinnati. He called my atten-
tion to it and I noticed on the old weath-
er beaten wall the two letters, O. K.
“Away back in 1840 when the Locofocos
and the’ Whigs were the leading parties of
the country, an unusually active campaign
was waged in this county. The whigs held
a big demonstration, and among the clubs
that attended was one from a country
town. At the head of this club a man
carried a banner which bore this inscrip-
tion, ‘The Whigs Are Oil Kerrect.’ The
other party poked fun at the orthography
of the inscription and the opposition pa-
pers took it up and tried to make political
capital out of it, charging the Whigs with
ignorance. It happened that the man who
was building that tavern was an ardent
Whig, and in searching for a name suit-
able for his new hostelry some one sug-
gested that he call it the ‘Oil Kerrect’
tavern. Instead, he took the Initials of the
misspelled words and christened the house
the fO. K.’ tavern. It became one of the
famous inns on the National thoroughfare
between the east and west. The oddity
of the name attracted the attention of
press and public. ‘O. K.’ became the by-
word or the da}' to designate everything
good, and today it is used in trade and
commerce the world over.”

Between 50 and 60 veterans of the First
regiment of U. S. volunteer infantry,
Spanish-American war, met last night—
the third anniversary of the muster out
of that command—and spent the evening in
story telling and spinning yarns that
were born around the camp fires of that
regiment. The meeting was helck in Ca-
thedral hall and the enthusiasm was only
equalled by the feeling of comradeship
that was displayed. Time has smoothed
the grim visaged front of the veterans,
who though willing and anxious to display
their patriotism in battle were denied such
an opportunity, and all harshness and bit-
terness of feeling has vanished with the
years.
The meeting was called to order by Fa-
ther J. M. Kirwin, who is the perpetual
secretary of the First Immune associa-
tion, and who was the beloved chaplain of
the regiment.
Father Kirwin read a letter from Com-
mander H. H. McCaleb, commander of the
association, who was lieutenant colonel
of the regiment, expressing his keen re-
gret at his inability to be present at the
reunion, on account of absence from the
city, at the same time assuring the “boys”
that he was with them in spirit, and as
long as he lived no man who was a sol-
’ dier in the “First” would ever lack for a
friend. The letter was enthusiastically
received and was ordered filed.
Upon motion, Comrade Father Kirwin
was elected to preside over the meeting.
Father Kirwin in assuming the chair made
a brief address outlining the objects of
the association. These he explained were
to help the living, succor the sick and
bury the dead who were members of the
regiment. He told, in a pathetic strain,
the story of Tony Joaquin, who was a
bugler in company L, who lost his life in
the storm. He painted a beautiful word
picture of how Tony’s father, too poor
to buy, too proud to beg, had called upon
his former comrades to bury the boy, and
how proud the old man felt when he
realized that his son had not served his
country in vain, when the funeral was
conducted under the auspices of the asso-
ciation.
Upon motion of Comrade David C. Mc-
Caleb, the secretary was instructed to
communicate with members of the regi-
ment who live in other cities where com-
panies were organized, with a view of
forming auxiliary associations. The mo-
tion was unanimously carried.
Comrade W. C. Lothrop arose and in
a pretty speech nominated Father Kirwin
to be commander of the association.
Father Kirwin said he was the perpetual
secretary and was therefore under the con-
stitution ineligible for election to the of-
fice of commander, but that he appreciat-
ed and appreciated keenly the honor the
comrades intended to pay him, and the
proudest thoughts of his life were that all
the members of the old regiment always
treated him in a manner that knitted more
firmly each day his love for the old com-
mand and the men who served in the
ranks.
Capt. S. P. Allen, who commanded com-
pany I and who came all the way from
Palestine especially to attend the reunion,
was then placed in nomination for com-
mander. No other nominations were made
and Capt. Allen was elected by acclama-
tion.
In assuming the chair Capt. Allen said
the election came as a complete surprise to
him, but a surprise coupled with a pro-
found pleasure. The objects of the asso-
ciation, he declared, were both noble and
ennobling. There could be no. better meth-
ods of displaying comradeship than by the
caring for the sick, the relieving of want
and the burial of the dead, and after a
comrade had answered his last roll call
and taps had been sounded over his grave,
his last resting place should be marked
by his former comrades. He spoke of one
of the members of his company that died
at Palestine. He had raised the funds for
a monument from among the members of
the command exclusively, though several
outside people had wished to contribute.
On the monument is inscribed the name,
W. W. Love, the date of his birth and
death and the fact that he had belonged
to the First U. S. V. Infantry, and the
monument had been erected by his former
comrades as a token of affection and
esteem. He said that he had had several
of the members of his former company
promise him that when he dies the fact
that he was a member of the Immunes
shall be engraved on his tomb stone,
“For,” said Capt. Allen, “I am as proud
of having been a member of this regiment
as of having served under Lee.”
Comrade Melton was elected lieutenant
commander, and after spending the rest
of the evening in recalling the days that
are now gone, the meeting adjourned to
meet Oct. 28, 1902. Before adjournment
was taken, however, a committee was ap-
pointed to look after the proper interment
of all former members of the regiment
who die, and all members who take sick
are requested to notify Father Kirwin
or D. C. McCaleb of the fact, and they in
turn will see their wants are attended to.
A committee was appointed to assist them
in this. During the evening Father Kir-
win was instructed to get designs for a
lapel button for the association to be
worn by members.
