BREEDS FOOLS BY SCORE
Sensational Murder Cases, Especially
Where Woman Is Involved, Pro-
duce Many Kinds of Idiots.
Beery sensational murder case
breeds a large crop of fools. Especially
If a woman Is Involved, there Is al-
ways plenty of idiotic people pressing
themselves forward for notoriety or
ahonymous association with the trag-
edy. In the latest Richmond crime
there has been the usual output of
sensation seeking cranks and maudlin
sympathizers, reaching a' climax in the
man who offered to sacrifice himself in
the place of the accused husband for
the stun of $5,000. This man, how-
ever, ia no worse than the writers of
letters to the woman witness now
held in custody offering themselves in
marriage to her.
The abnormality that leads people
to take a keen personal Interest In per-
sons accused of participation in the
most revolting crimes passes under-
standing. There was, for instance, the
case of Ethel Leneve, the companion
and possible accomplice of Crippen,
who slew his wife In Londori. No
sooner had the pair been captured
on their flight to Canada than the
girt was besieged with matrimonial
and theatrical offers, some of them in
most alluring terms. People who had
never seen her wrote to her letters of
endearment that they should '"have
been ashamed even to acknowledge.
Without doubt, the woman in this
Richmond case could even without
the slightest suggestion of talent,
make a comfortable fortune “on the
stage.” She has already received what
are described as attractive offers from
vaudeville managers, her acceptance
of which ia necessarily somewhat
handicapped by the uncertainty of her
future. Why any one would want to
see such a person in a public perform-
ance ia beyond comprehension. Yet
the fact remains that there is a tre-
/ l mendous, unwholesome curiosity to
such people.—Washington Star.

The Irish Ambassador.
\
At an international wedding in
Washington, order was preserved in
the streets near the church by a
squad of policemen under the com-
mand of Capt Daniel Sullivan, who
Is famous for his politeness. A young
man representing. a metropolitan
dally paper stationed himself near
Sullivan and took down the names of
the prominent people as they ailgh
from their carriage and entered
church. '4 «_ ; _ \>

"The British Ambassador. The Sen-
ators from Maryland. The German
Ambassador. The Irish Ambassador.
The Bishop of Washington." %
When the reporter returned to the
office and looked over the list he v?as
astonished to see the note, “The Irish
Ambassador,” as be realised that Ire-
land, being a part of Great Britain,
has no diplomatic representative ol
own. After mfcqh trouble, he got
▼an on the telephone.
"What do you mean by The Irish
Ambassador ?’ ” be was asked In
great haste. 'Who is he?”
"Why, he's Capt Daniel Sullivan,”
replied Sullivan. "Ain't I a police^
man?”—Popular yaga sine.

Varieties of Oranges and Lemons.
Oranges and lemons of excellent
tuality have reached this country from
Rhodesia. The introduction of both
these fruits into Europe is more re-
cent than many suppose. A native of
India, the orange came to us by way
of western Asia, the bitter orange be-
ing brought in by returning Crusaders
and the sweet variety not coming un-
^tJJ the fifteenth century, when Genoese
v&aders Introduced the tree into Italy,
i The lemon was brought into Spain
'by the Arabs in the twelfth century
^ According to the experts there are 47
varieties of lemons and 80 of oranges

BAD BALTIMOREANS
BEFOUL BALLOT BOXES
MARYLAND, MY MARYLAND, IS
REEKING WITH FRAUD.
ARE NUMEROUS INDICTMENTS
Discrepancies Found in 23 Democratic
Boxes, While Republican
Boxes Had 13.
f
Baltimore, Md., Oct. 25.—The Grand
Fury has finished its recount of the
ballots cast in the recent Gubernator-
ial primaries, presenting indictments
against 234 election booth officials on
charges of fraud. Frauds were found
!n forty-two polling places in Baltimore
City.
Of the Democratic boxes discrepan-
cies were found in twenty-nine, leading
to presentments^ whil3 thirteen of the
Republican boxes contained irregular-
ities which led to presentments. The
first set of presentments was found in
the Twenty-Third Ward as the result
of a personal Investigation made by
Thomas F. McNulty, Independent can-
didate for Sheriff, into the votes which
he had received there.
J. Albert Hughes, organization can-
didate, was returned as nominated for
Sheriff by a majority of 817 votes. The
jury’s count cuts this down to 108.
The work of repeaters is yet to be
investigated. The majority by which
Arthur P. Gorman was nominated for
Governor by the Democrats stands as
practically correct.

Austin; Surveys by the State for
levee and drainage work in Dallas,

Galveston Passes Millionth Bale.
Galveston: Galveston cotton receipts
since Sept. 1 passed the million bale
mark Tuesday with the arrival of 39,-
976 bales, making the total for the
season 1.015,510. It was on the same
day last year that the million mark
was reached when the total receipts
were 1,038,145 bales. That last year’s
receipts to this date are ahead of this
season is explained by the low price
and consequent slow movement of the
Staple.
MODERN FARMING IN TARRAN1
A Progressive Citizen Shows How Tex
as Lands Can Be Helped.
REBELS ARE WINNING
A STRONG FOOTHOLD
Fort Worth: A Bidault, a moden
farmer near Gmpvine says he has tw<
acres of yams from which he will gerf
j600 bushels. The potatoes are uni
form In size, large and smooth. '
! Several years ago he bought wha1
was termed a worn-out farm; whos«
fertility had been sapped by cotton
and corn culture and so barren, in
the Judgment* of hi neighbors, tha1
he was laughed at for taking such
an unpromising place to work.
He has made an analysis of some
of the soil, which is treated in accord-
ance with the needs for plant feed-
ing that the analysis indicates is de-
ficient. Somo of the fertilizing is
done with commercial fertilizers, but
much of the improvement has been
effected by crop rotation and turning
under plants that have properties
which his land seems to require. He
regards his potato crop \p,s only a
fair average of what his land will do
after his work of improvement if
done.

Steel Market Shows Decline.
New, York: The volume of business
In finished steel products last week
fell off heavily, and the Indication is
that the tonnage of new orders book-
ed in October may be considerably
less than In September. The reduc-
tion of $4 per ton in the price of tin
plate from recent sales in the open
market and $6 per ton from the offi-
cial price established on Feb. 4, 1910,
has brought the general level of prices
of the principal steel products $1.40
per ton under the lowest point of
1909. The decline from the prices
prevailing in January, 1910, is $7 per
ton, and from the high point in No-
vember, 1907, the drop has been $11.50
per ton.

Pekin, China: It is apparent that
the Imperial Government knew the
result of the battle at Hankow between
its forces and the rebels more than
twenty-four hours before it became
public. Reports of the rebel victory
gradually leaked out, but the first pos-
itive account of the defeat of the Im-
perial troops was delivered to the for-
eign legations by the Associated Press.
It caused a profound impression.
Success of the revolution has been
considered here to hinge upon the re-
sult of the first encounter, as its moral
effect would be far-reaching.
A delayed message says: A two
days’ battle between government
forces from the North and the revolu-
tionists ended in a victory for the lat-
ter. The rebels forced the Imperial
troops to retreat to a point ten miles
north of Hankow.
The loyalists' gunboats dropped sev-
eral miles down the river.
When fighting ceased Wednesday
evening the revolutionists took up a
strong position. Reinforcements for
the rebels arrived during the night and
early Thursday a force fully 5,000
strong began an advance on the Im-
perial encampment.
The advance was conducted cau-
tiously. On the march the rebels burn-
ed hundreds of houses, fearing am-
bush.
The loyalist infantry made a faint
■how of resistance, while the shots
from the Imperial warships failed to
dislodge a rebel field gun which had
been made the special object of at-
tack.
When the rebels’ soout% reached the
Imperial camp they found It deserted
and the main body of rebels entered,
waving banners and shouting in ju
bilation.
The loyalists’ exacuatioiT^as so hur-
ried that they left many tents and
carloads of baggage and ammunition.
The rebel army is now entrenched
In camp three miles from Hankow.
The loyalists have halted seven miles
further north, where they are await-
ing reinforcements.
COLQUITT’S COTTON MEET.
Governors of Southern States Taking
Hold of Proposition.
Austin: Gov. Colquitt Is in receipt
of information that all the Southern
governors save .the governor of Flor-
ida will be in attendance at the cot-
ton convention in New Orleans Octo-
ber 30, to consider the pride of cot-
ton and the cotton crop interests in
general. The governors of Mississip-
pi, Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Lou-
isiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma have
all written him that they will gladly
attend in person and bring with them
their commissioners of agriculture.
They have also assured him that they
bave invited, and expected to be ac-
companied by a number of prominent
bankers and cotton men.
The governor of Florida writes that
official duties will prevent his at-
tendance but that he will try and ap-
point a suitable number of delegates
who will represent Florida’s interest
in the deliberations.
KATY BUYS KEMP LINES.

Dallas: Accordlngton to late Infor-
mation the Wichita Falls system of

Remarkable and Fatal Accident.
Marshall: Friday morning a hostler
mking a passenger engine to the
'oundhouse saw a freight train cotn-
•ng down the track and to avoid col
‘ision, reversed his engine wide open
and jumped. The engines came to-
?ether, but without harm, and the re-
versed engine started back at full
ipeed, and under headway crashed in-
to the engine on a passenger train
practically demolishing both locomo-
tives. Clint Hall, a switchman was
killed and 14 passengers and employes
were more or less bruised.
Macon, Georgia: Aviator Eugene Ely
was fatally injured at the State Fair
Grounds Thursday afternoon when hi:
machine refused to rise from a sensa-
tional dip and plunged with him fifty
feet to the ground. His body was
broken in a score of places and he
died eleven minutes later, regaining
consciousness just before the end, long
enough to mutter, “I lost control,
know I am going to die.”
Ely made a remarkable flight In the
morning, ascending to an altitude of
3,100 feet. At 2 o’clock he began his
second flight of the day, rising from
the track inclosure, which he. circled
a few mir.utes, traveling at about thir-
ty miles an hour.
The machine shot down with tre-
mendous velocity and the crowd ap-
plauded, thinkin® the aviator would
rise, as he had done many times be-
fore, in the manner of a bird. But
Ely seemed to lose his grip on the
lever, for the machine continued its
downward plunge to the earth and he
attempted to rise from his seat. In
fact, he released the lever and half
jumped, barely clearing the aeroplane
as It crashed to the ground.
It was demolished into bits of wood,
metal flying hundreds of feet, so great
was the impace, while Ely struck with
terrible force.
Eugene Ely was the star performer
of the aviation meet held In Dallas
under the direction of the Young Men’s
Business Club last May. He and Ward
and Witmer gave flights for three days
and met with no accidents.
REPULSE AT BENHAZI COST#
MANY ITALIAN LIVES.
THE ITALIANS LOSE HEAVILY
South Texas Potatoes Fall; Cane Good
Houston: The South Texas and
lower Rio Grande Valley cane crop
of this year Is a bumper one and de-
clared to be the best In the history'
of the State. ' Expectations are that
Its marketing will have some bearing
upon the retail price of sugar. For
the first time in a good many years
it is conceded .that the South Texas
Irish potato crop will prove almost
a complete failure owing to the scorch-
ing weather and excessive rainfall,
which scalded plants to death.
Robbed and Fatally Injured.
Fort Worth: A. L. Shockey, June
22 last, was assailed near Morris ball
park by a negro man and a negro
woman and robbed after the assault.
He has since suffered from the effects
of the blows on his head from the sand-
bag which was the yehpon used, and
died Thursday. Two negroes were
arrested by the city detectives soon
lifter the commission of the crime and
charged with highway robbery.
Ending of Harrlman Strike.
Chicago: Nearly a thousand of the
striking employes of the Illinois Cen-
tral ^Railroad had returned to work
Wednesday. Itl was announced, and
the company has raised the embargo
set’ against outside cars when the
strike began. Freight tonnage Is as
great on time freight between Chica-
go, New Orleans and Memphis, as
it was before the strike, say the road-
officials.
Engineer Killed; Two Others Hurt.
Teague: Brazos Valley freight In
charge of Conductor Branch and En-
gineer B. E. Carteton struck a cow
at Normangee Wednesday morning.
The engine and twelve cars rolled
down an embankment Engineer
Carleton was killed instantly and Fire-
man L. IT. Lawrence and Brakeman
L. R. Raney were so seriously injured
that they are not expected to live.
Child Played With Matches.
Decatur: The 4-year-old daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. Lad Rhine, livine three
miles southwest of this place, was
probably fatally burned while playing
in the front yard of the Rhine home.
The child in striking matches had its
clothes to catch fire, and before as-
sistance could reach her, her clothes
had been burned from her body.
Hurried Departure of Warships and f
Hospital Boat from Tripoli
of Significance.
Tripoli, Oot. 23.—-The fighting a*
Benghazi between Italians and Turku
has been one of the fiercest character.
After an engagement lasting all day
on the 19th- Inst., thb Turks returned
to the chai^b during the night. They
made a savage onslaught upon the
Italian camp, but were repulsed. It
the morning the Italian forces occur
pied the city. '
The Turkish losses were heavy and
the Italian dead numbered not les#
1
mu
than 100.
There are good grounds for heller
ing that the Italian forces at Ben?
hazl have been very severely handled
by the Turks apd their Arab auxif
laries. It is understood the Italiar
losses are much heavier than off!
daily reported. Color Is given t«
this belief by the hurried departure
for Benghazi of four warships and a
hospital ship.
Steamer passengers who went t<s
Benghazi, but who were unable to
land, say the Turks and Arabs have
displayed reckless bravery in making
furious attacks On the small Italian t
forces intrenched there. There are
also reports of massacres of Christians
at Derna and Benghazi, bnt no cots
firmation has been received.

Association, in convention here, wan

ors went to Miss Jane Addams, Hall
House, Chicago, who has agreed be-

eral sharp struggles in which the

clashed with those representing the
other sections of the country. Most
of the clashes had to do with a pro-
jected transferring of the National . *
