Wednesday, October 29, 1901 THE READING DAILY TIMES AND DISPATCH, READING, PKA. BIO WARD MEETINGS LARGE CROWDS OP VOTERS HEAR REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS DISCUSS CAMPAIGN ISSUES. There was a large attendance of voters at the Republican mass meeting of the Tenth ward, held at Dowlings hotel. Twelfth and Cotton streets, last evening. The meeting was called to order by Ward Chairman William Weiser, who announced that Select Councilman Edward Taenzer would be the presiding officer of the evening.

J. Wilmer Fisher, was the" first speaker. He said he desired to call the attention of the voters to only a few facts, first of whic was the singularity of the campaign. He assigned as the reason for the peculiar conduct of the contest th Republican party is placed in a singular position, chiefly because of the general and alomst uninterrupted success of the party principles, and that it has no new proposals to make. The old and well tried principles have been found so good and satisfactory that many are prone to think that there should be some special features injected.

He defended the Republican administration of affairs in the state as sound and above reproach, despite the fact that the Democrats are charging all sorts of corruption and vice. Judge Samuel W. Pennypacker was eulogized as a sound and capable man to be returned with the affairs of the state, and the legislative candidates were also commended to the voters as men of integrity and moral worth. Lieutenant W. Frank Mohr.

candidate for the Legislature was then introduced. He spoke a few words of greeting to the W. Kerper Stevens, the next speaker, characterized the present contest as a thinking campaign, in which the voters, instead of coming out in masses to meetings, glean their information from the papers and thereform make up their minds as to what they will do. With reference to the passing of scurrilous remarks by the Democrats, he said it was decidedly poor polity foi them to villifv their opponents and besmirch their characters in order to gain the posts for themselves. He deplored the level to which the Democrats have gone in order to further their ends, and said he would not say a reflecting thing about the Democratic standard bearer.

With reference to labor legislation, Mr. Stevens said no act of consequence was passed that would benefit the workmen that was not passed by a Republican administration. James B. Gabriel, candidate for the Legislature, was then introduced to the meeting. He made a few remarks.

The meeting came to a close after an address had been delivered by Walter Freed, a member of the bar, who spoke on the importance of tariff. IN THE SIXTEENTH. The largest gathering of the Republicans of the Sixteenth ward was held last evening at the Perkiomen Avenue hotel, Sixteenth street and Perkiomen avenue. Chairman William Rick presided and made the opening address. He introduced J.

Wilmer Fisher, as the speaker of the evening. Mr. Fisher outlined the issues of the campaign, referred to the slanders and vituperation used by the Democrats in their chase for votes, praised the Republican standard bearers and urged all present to go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for "Pennypacker, Protection and Prosperity." The candidates for the Legislature, Messrs. Mohr and Gabriel also spoke briefly. CANDIDATES AND OTHERS.

In the Thirteenth ward the Democratic voters met at the Rising Sun hotel, P. J. McCauley, proprietor, Tenth and Pike streets. Ward Chairman William Abbott Wltman called the gathering to order. Addresses were made by J.

Bennett Nolan, son of the candidate for Secretary of Internal Affairs; Marcus C. L. Kline, candidate for Congress; Clarence Erdman, of Lehigh, and other speakers, who urged the importance of each Democrat voting the straight ticket in order to insure relief from political misrule and a return to government by the people. SCOLDING THE VOTERS. A meeting of Twelfth ward Democrats was held at the St.

Elmo hotel, last evening, at which the issues of the campaign were presented by an array of public speakers. A band of music was engaged, which paraded through the streets of the ward with a banner announcing the important event, and at 8.30 enough of the faithful had gathered to partially fill the room. In the bar room and adjoining corridor were a score or more of men interested in what was taking place there but with little interest in the speeches. Dr. A.

N. Seidel, the chosen chairman of the evening, made quite an extended speech on "the evils of Republican rule," and concluded by naming a committee of five to bring those on the outside within the meeting room. Clarence Erdman, of Lehigh, son of the former. Congressman from this district, was presented as the first speaker, and while he was discoursing upon the evils of Sowden and his followers, the committee devoted their energies to bringing the bashful voters within hearing of the speaker's voice, but all this was of no avail and those who were disturbed left the building rather than enter the room and sit through the speeches that were to follow, which told of "the present misrule and the evils of Quay legislation." Addresses were made by George A. Frederick and Reuben S.

Heckman, candidates for the Legislature; Harvey F. Heinly and other local speakers until M. C. L. Kline, the Democratic candidate for Congress, put in an appearance, and he made a characteristic speech, promising many reforms if elected and predicting dire trouble his opponent, William H.

Sow dMi, chance to be elected. FAMILY TREES FORGED. Bogus Patents of Nobility for Ambitious Austrians. The trial has begun at Prague, Ho hernia, of Alois Mueller and Peter von Schueeta on charges of trafficking in forged patents of nobility. It Is alleged that Mueller has duped the buyers of such patents to the extent of $100,000.

Mueller i an economic expert, sixty four years old. Twenty three separate charges have been brought against him, involving over one hundred forgeries of state documents, imperial rescripts and certificates of births, marriages and deaths. His clients included well known officials and citizens. There is one instance of Count Hilarion Chaky, wealthy resident of Pressburg. who desired to obtain a dignity which requires a lineal descent from sixteen noble ancestors, and Mueller undertook to furnish them.

In another case, in order to ennoble a member of the Keichsrath, Dr. Otto Mittal, Mueller forged a rescript of Emperor Leopold, dated 1607. His operations covered a period of ten years. POSSIBLE ROYAL GUESTS. The State Department Has Sent No Formal Invitations.

Washington, Oct. 28. "No royal personages have been Invited to visit the United States, so far as the State Department Is Informed. Sush visits require an appropriation, and until such appropriations are made no 'invitation can be considered to have been extended." The above is an authoritative statement made today. At the same time it is admitted that Informal invitations may have been given by Americans abroad.

By this it is presumed that Generals Young, Corbin and Wood are meant. In fact, it is said that these officers were commissioned, prior to their departure, by the President to convex such a bidding to the Prince of Wales. The St. Louis Exposition is recognized as the great drawing card for 1904, and the commissioners for the same, traveling abroad, have been lavish in their invitations to royalty from Siam to Berlin. Whether royalty will accept such courtesies remains to be seen.

Should they do so it would create an embarrassing situation for the State Department, unless Congress should promptly step in with an appropriation and a formal request for royalty's presence. MORGAN TO CORNER LIGHT. Said to be Organizing a Giant Electric Trust. New York, Oct. 28.

Wall Street believes that J. Pierpont Morgan contemplates a giant lighting trust, which shall control ultimately the electric lighting system of every great city in the United States. It is openly known that Mr. Morgan has been quietly picking up stock of the North American Company for months, and has had his partner, Robert Bacon, made a member of the directorate, but what his plan for the company was did not develop until today. It is asserted by Wall Street gossips that Mr.

Morgan has his plans practically matured now, and that the electric lighting trust for municipalities within the United States is really in working order now. The purchase of control by the North American Company for $4,000,000, thereby securing practically a monopoly of the electric lighting field in that city, is said to mark the first open step in Mr. Morgan's new plan. The North American Company already owns electric lighting and traction companies in a number of cities in the West. RUSSIA AFTER OUR TRADE.

Kerosene and Textile. Traffic Sought by the Czar's Domain. St. Petersburg, Tuesday, Oct. 14.

The reports of the local committees on the agricultural depression are receiving wide publication here, whole pages of the newspapers being filled with them. The Journal of Commerce and Industry, published by the Ministry of Finance, finds useful information In the reports of the American Consul at Newchwang on American commerce in Manchuria. After recapitulating the facts, it observes that Russia ought to be able to wrest the kerosene trade from the United States and to secure a share of its textile trade. Crop failures are reported in various parts of Finland, especially Uleaborg. River imnrovements at a cost of $360.

CUT CANCER FROM HIS OWN TONGUE A VETERINARY SURGEON PROLONGS HIS LIFE BY HEROIC OPERATION GUIDED BY MIRROR.

New York, Oct. 28. With Spartan courage, Andrew Murray, of Clermont avenue, Brooklyn, performed an operation for the removal of cancer from his own tongue recently. WJiether the operation has removed the entire growth of the cancer is not known, but the physicians say that the man certainly prolonged his life, for if the operation had not been performed death would have ensued in six months. Murray declares that he is feeling well at present, and that should the growth appear again he will certainly cut it out again himself.

The growth is of the kind that caused the death of General Grant. Murray, who says he is a cousin of Lord Madison, is a skilled veterinary surgeon and has performed many delicate operations on horses. Two weeks ago he called upon Dr. George R. Fowler, an eminent surgeon of Brooklyn, and showed him the growth beneath his tongue.

Dr. Fowler pronounced it a cancer and declared that Murray must have it removed or die within a few months. He also told Murray that he might die under the operation. Murray arranged for the operation, and then went to his office at 60 Bolivar street. He wrote letters to all his rela tives and friends bidding them good by and declaring that he did not think he would live long.

He was much de jected and after writing the letters re mained in his office to think it over. The desire to perform the operation himself then seized, him. His eyes, fell upon his surgical instruments. In an instant he had the bag in his hand and a second later he had taken out a sharp little steel knife and applied it to the cancer, using a hand mirror to guide him. "It hurt awfully," said Murray yes terday, "but it had to come out, and I thought I would do it myself.

I do not think the growth was a cancerous one. "I'm satisfied now that the operation is finished. I've a sister who is coming on from Denver to attend my funeral. She'll be very much surprised to find me alive when she gets here." Murray is 56 years old and is single. WOMEN FIGHT TRUST.

Will Exact "Swear oft" Pledges From Tobacco Users. Chicago, Oct. 28 Fifty young women trade unionists of Chicago have begun a campaign against the American Tobacco Company, which, they state, will in time extend to all parts of the United States and Canada. They have banded together for the purpose of inducing all workingmen tc cease the use of tobacco and especially to avoid all cigars not packed in boxes bearing the union label of tjie cigar makers, Their determination to fight the tobacco and cigar trust grew out of thi fear that it would eventually seek to de stroy the Cigarmakers' Union and alsc that of the tobacco workers. The trust, it was reported by Miss Mae Maloney, who had secured statistics on the subject, practically controlled the tobacco trade, and it would be more open to attack by all persons opposed to it ceasing the use of tobacco.

All the youngwomen stated that they wished it understood whatevet their private opinions were on the subject, they did not desire to criticize the men who had the tobacco habit. They would simply plead with them to give it up, and thereby aid their low workmen. "If they cannot change their habits," said Miss Freda Anderson, of the Special Order Clothing Workers' Union "let us urge them to purchase union made tobacco. If the trust secures control of all the factories, we can then call upon them to leave it alone entirely." VALET SUES HOWARD GOULD. Mowbray Wants $25,000 for Alleged Breach of Contract.

New York, Oct. 28. The second trial of the suit of Frank Dutton Mowbray a valet, against Howard Gould, to recover $25,000 for breach of an alleged contract to employ him for life, was begun before Supreme Court Justice Truax this morning. Mowbray asserted that the employment was to begin or. July 4, 1893, when he was injured while setting off fireworks on the yacht Hilde garde.

and was to continue during the remainder of his life at a salary of $80 a month. Mr. Gould denied that' he had ever made such a contract. The first trial of the suit took place in June, 1900. and resulted in a verdict for Mowbray.

The case was appealed and a new trial allowed. Mowbray was the first witness today. He recounted the story of the accident and told of the contract which he alleged that he and Mr. Goul had entered into. The contract was a verbal one, he stated, and was made because Mr.

Gould wished to keep the case out of the courts. TO BALK THE GOSSIPS. Lady Henry Gordon Lennox Pays $10, 000 in Libel Suit. London, Oct. 28.

The libel suit of Miss Dora Neale against her aunt, Lady Henry Gordon Lennox, whom she charged with making remarks which were a reflection on her character, has been settled out of court. The charges have been withdrawn and Miss Neale Is to receive $10,000 in addition to the costs. The Lord Chief Justice urged that the matter be settled privately, in order to avoid a scandal. Last August the lawyers in the case arranged a compromise, but Miss Neale declined to accept the terms, and insisted upon a vindication. The Lord Chancellor, therefore, restored the case to the calendar.

SILVER SHOWER IN THE STREET Three thousand dollars in silver coin broke down a wheelbarrow at State and Warren streets, Trenton, N. in the heart of the business district, early Monday morning. Having no Clearing House, the banks there clear with messenger, and the First National bank's messenger uses a wheelbarrow whenever coin is to be carried to a neighboring bank. This clearing house on one wheel went all to pieces as Abram R. Ford attempted to put it over a curbstone, and the coin went out of the bags in the road.

Ford shrugged his shoulders and picked up the coin leisurely, while a crowd gathered. "No thieves In Trenton," said Ford when asked why he did not hurry. BISHOP POTTER ON THE BIBLE. Calls It "Human Document," the Story of the "Inaccurate Vision of Man." In his introduction to "The Bible for Children," Just issued by the Century Company, Bishop Potter says: "The progress which lately has beep made in understanding what the. Bible is, and what it is not, has prepared the way for such a book as this.

That progress has brought to light two things, namely, that the Bible has in it a human as well as a divine element; that it is the story not only of a divine disclosure, in many ways and under widely different conditions divine as revealing alike the mind of God and the wonderful order of his providence but also a human document, in that it is the story, and sometimes the illustration, of the imperfect and therefore inaccurate vision of man. These two things are now coming to be widely and, on, the whole, helpfully recognized. "Not all of the Bible is of equal worth or pertinency; not all of it of equal interest or utility. The old tradition that to read it through, mechanically and undiscriminatingly, two or three times a year, had of itself some occult and mysterious potency has come to be recognized as belonging to the kindred tradition that soldiers' lives have been saved by a New Testament; whereas any other volume carried in the same place would have stopped a bullet quite as effectively. But all the while the living, spiritual, quickening force of the literature has endured and will endure, because ft is, in every higher note of it, the voice of the Divine.

"To gather therefore within the course of one volume that which rings through and through with this higher note, and especially by arrangement, by selection, by reverent and discriminating methods of sequence to put together what will become a child's Bible this, it ought to be plain to a just mind, is a worthy and timely thing to do." ARMY DESERTER ARRESTED. He Had Been a Non Union Workman Near Pottsville. Pottsville, Oct. 28. John Rock, of Shenandoah, a private who deserted from the United States army during the coal strike and hired as a nonunion workman at the colliery of Lentz at Park Place, is now in the Schuylkill county prison.

He was arrested in a hay loft at Ringtown today, where he was in hiding. He will be sent to Rhode Island, where his regiment is stationed, and will be court martialed. BATTLE WITH POLICE. Two Citizens Killed and Twelve Wounded by Officers of San Lorenzo. Special to The Times.

1 San Juan, Porto Rico. Oct. 28. The police of San Lorenzo today attempted to disarm a party of citizens who were bringing a dead body into to San Lorenzo from the country. In a fight that followed two citizens were killed and twelve wounded.

Three policemen were wounded. SHOT BY OFFICER. Philadelphia Policeman Uses His Revolver When Attacked. (Special to The Times Philadelphia, Oct. 28.

Policeman Ferguson tonight shot and mortally wounded Michael Conway and another bullet from the patrolman's revolver inflicted a painful wound in the arm of Mrs. Clemence. Conway was the leader of a band which attempted to rescue a prisoner from Ferguson, and the policeman was severely beaten and knocked down before he used his revolver. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Liverpool docks now flank the Mersey for a distance of seven miles.

There are 60 of them, great vats of water, each covering acres, surrounded by massive walls of stone and entered by iron gates, which can be closed to keep out the tide. The gates work just like the lock of a canal, and when shut the water within them Is as quiet as a mill pond. There are in all 388 acres of such docks along the Mersey, and 26 miles of quays. Dr. A.

A. Brown, of the Agricultural Department of Victoria, has been experimenting with soft fruits with a view to their preservation during a long journey, such as that from Australia to Southampton. In January last he selected some fine peaches, halved the sample, and packed each set in a separate case. One case was subjected to fumigation with formaldehyde gas and the other to methane. In both instances the fruit remained perfectly sound, and showed no traces of decay, even after many weeks.

Jean Jussieu, a French cynic, writing in the Paris Revue, expresses grave doubts of the efficacy of the American schools and universities. He avers that the latter are governed by mere endowment seekers, men of shrewd address and of high social position who can confidently and successfully approach millionaires with requests for additions to the great funds accumulating under university control. These vast sums, M. Jussieu avers, are wasted in the construction of great buildings and the cause of education is not proportionately advanced. Vanity keeps up the numerous clipping bureaus of New York.

One bureau has a large number of women subscribers, mostly society leaders. But men are far more eager to read about themselves and their doings than women. As a rule, the less worthy the subject the more tickled at a little notice. One of the newly rich families recently arrived from the West with a fortune estimated at from $23,000,000 to $100, 000,000, and, seeking nn entrance into the Four Hundred, greedily devours every mention of Its progress and employs all the clipping bureaus.

Deprived of his mother within two, and of his father within four years, after his birth on February 4, 1869 John Mitchell was early in life left in the care of his stepmother. His schooling was meager and was secured only at intervals when there was no demand for his labor on the farm. Thrown upon his own resources when but 13 years of age, he entered the mines at his birthplace, in Braidwood, 111.

Three years later, while employed in the mines in Braceville, 111., he was brought under the influence of the labor movement at that time directed by the Knights of Labor. It made him restless, and, with the indomitable will of his Irish parentage, he set out determined to see something of the world. He visited Colorado, New Mexico and other western and southwestern states, working in the mines to support himself. Drifting back to the Illinois coal fields, in 1886, he became a mine worker at Spring Valley, and took an active part in the trades union movement there as president of the Knights of Labor Local. When 22 years of age he married Miss Katherine O'Rourke, of Spring Valley.

Five children have been born to them, four of whom are living. At one time he served as president of the Spring Valley Board of Education. Thirsting for knowledge, he read everything that came within his reach; joined debating societies, athletic associations, independent political reform clubs and various social organizations, in which many opportunities came to him to exercise his mental faculties and to cultivate the art of speechmaking. A ready talker, with great personal magnetism, he quickly formed friends, and was rapidly promoted to positions of honor and trust. When the United Mine Workers of America was organized in January, 1890, he was among the first to be enrolled as a member in his district.

He was a delegate to the sub district and district conventions: secretary treasurer of the Northern Illinois sub district, at that time embracing all of the state then organized, and, in 1896, chairman of the Illinois Mine Workers' legislative committee, with headquarters at the state capital to work for labor legislation. He served later as a member of the Illinois state executive board and as a national organizer. In January, 1898, at the Columbus convention, Mr. Mitchell was elected national vice president, and in September of the same years the executive board made him acting president to succeed Mr. M.

D. Ratchford, who resigned to become a member of the United States Industrial Commission. The national convention at Pittsburg, in January, 1899, confirmed this choice and elected him for the following year. He has been re elected each year since then. He is second vice president of the American Federation of Labor, and a member of various committees of the National Civic Federation.

Trained in simplicity of living, he remains democratic in all his habits. Except when pressed with business matters, he is approachable by any one wishing to see or meet him. Usually, he makes his headquarters in hotels where the men he leads will not feel out of place when they call to consult him. He leads, and yet the men who follow him believe that he is but their servant carrying out their expressed wishes. This is the explanation of much of his power over the mine workers, particularly in strike times.

Its exercise has had the effect of making him conservative in action. With his frugal habits and comparatively small salary, there is no place for "high living" or excesses that undermine mental vigor. In any industrial or commerical pursuit his marked ability for organizing and leading men would command many times his present yearly salary of $1 800.

Will Not Attend Agricultural College Unless Reinstatements Are Made. Lansing, Oct. 28. A meeting of the striking students of the Michi gan Agricultural College was held this morning for the purpose of hearing a report from the faculty on the ultimatum presented yesterday, announcing that no more classes would be attended until the students suspended and expelled because of participation in the Sophomore Freshmen rush of several weeks ago were reinstated. The faculty, however, had no right to make a change, standing by their action in suspending the participants in the rush.

After a time the students dispersed from the chapel, where the meeting was held, and there was no disturbance. There will be no classes today. TO IMPROVE SOUTHAMPTON. Better Dockage and Deeper Channel Have Been Planned. Southampton, England, Oct.
