JCEDB REAjDJCNO PAFtiV TOtfEB AND PIHPA.TCH, KfiAPrflG FENBA, 6 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1902. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1902. RICH MAN ACCUSED OF BOSTON MURDERS ALAN G. MASON SUSPECTED OF KILLING TWO WOMEN 'AND ASSAULTING OTHERS. 1 Boston, Nov.

4. Alan Gregory Mason, of 39 Newbury street, a fashionable residence, was arrested this morning cn suspicion of being the long looked for Jack the Slugger, who is supposed to have committed the numerous assaults on women in Cambridge and vicinity, during the last few months, and whose latest victim died on Sunday from injuries received from aa assault committed in the McLean asylum grounds at Waverly on Satur day. Mr. Mason was taken to the headquarters of the state police, where he is held for further developments. He claims he can prove an alibi.

For several years he has been suffering from a mental disease. Many times since his release from the hospital his family has been notified that he was a dangerous man to be at large. Xhe state police have found three or four people who say positively that they saw him in Waverly about dusk Saturday night. The state police believe that they will be able to show where he got the weapon which killed Missi Morton, and from the same source they think they will find evidence that will aid them in proving their suspect gave Agnes McPhee the blows on the head in Cambridge on October 3, which caused her death at the Cambridge hospital three days later. They are satisfied also, that they, will connect him with the assault on Miss Katie O'Connell, June 17, at Walker and Cambridge streets, Cambridge; with the assault of Sigrid Gustavs on July 17, at Chestnut and Magazine streets, Cambridge; with the assault of Jeanette M.

Marshall, August 3, on Centre street, Brookline, and with several other serious assaults which have been made on Cambridge and Somerville women within the past few weeks. BIG GROCERY TRUST Has Trouble in Making a Deal With Chicago Houses. Chicago, Nov. 4. Wholesale grocers yesterday turned their backs on the $500,000,000 grocery trust, the formation of which will be proposed before a contention called for Wednesday at the Hotel Cadillac in Detroit.

Local firms to which the promoters, George B. Hanford, of New York, sent invitations included Franklin Mec Veagh Reid, Murdoch Sprague, Warner Steele, Weidel William Hoyt Parson and Durand Kasper Co. In the declinations sent by the first three Chicago firms named, the entire wholesale trade of this city saw little chance for the proposition of enlisting local interest and capital. The arguments presented in favor of a giant grocer's combine were that the number and salaries of traveling men would be greatly reduced; better and more uniform prices would be secured; expenses of manufacturing plants would be diminished; cigars and cigarettes and tobaccos couldi be manufactured under the trusts own brand.

WEBSTER'S DEATH AND BURIAL. Extracts from the Diary of the Late William Head, M. D. Boston Evening Transcript. At the meeting of the Bostonian Society held this afternoon in the Old State House, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Webster's death, the clerk, Charles F.

Read, read extracts from the contemporaneous diary of the late William Read, M.D., describing the death and burial of Daniel Webster in October, 1S52. The following is an extract read by Mr. Read: "O.tfil.t.,. the nimmincpmont tw nnnii I Webster was no more. They boomed himself if he pays for it, though it ex through the quiet and stillness of the acts a promise from its members not to morning, as if in some degree pro be guilty of the sin of intemperance.

claiming the magnitude of the loss, This is no simple bereavement; a nation has lost her greatest son, and one who indeed deserved better at her bands. But such is ever the fate of greatness. With him has gone the last of the great triumvirate, who for forty years have led the destinies of this Republic. Mr. Webster to the last retained all his faculties in perfection, and the day before his death dictated several letters upon public business, and made his will.

His body alone showed symptoms of approaching dissolution. His mind was godlike to the last. "October 30 The papers of this morning are filled with the accounts of the services at the funeral yesterday. As far as the eye could reach from the house, the fields and roads were filled with people. They began to collect about 8 a.

MISSOURI WOMEN'S CLUBS. Kansas City Now the Mecca for Fair Sex of That State.

the Special to The Times. Kansas City, Nov. 4. Kansas City is just now the Mecca for club women from all parts of Missouri. The annual meeting of the State Federation of Women's Clubs opened auspiciously this morning and will continue through tomorrow.

Large delegations are in attendance from St. Louis, Springfield, St. Joseph and other leading cities of the state. Today's proceedings were largely of a routine nature. The gathering was formally called to order at 10 o'clock this morning.

After addresses of welcome and responses the delegates listened to the reports of officers and committees, which occupied most of the time until the hour for luncheon arrived. This afternoon there were more reports, from the art committee, the state library committee and the litera ture committee all of them showing a year of unusual activity in all fields of club work. This evening Mrs. Lydia' Williams of Minneapolis addressed the convention. RANDOM THOUGHTS More and more the United States is becoming a nation of coffee drinkers.

The last issue of the Crop Reporter shows that the imports of coffee into the United States have almost doubled within the last ten years, having increased from 563.669,668 pounds in 1892 to 1,091.004,252 pounds last year. In the same time, far from there being an increase in the imports of tea, there has been an actual decrease from 89,061,287 pounds to 75,579,125 pounds. Coffee measured by value is the second most important of our agricultural imports. Our supply is derived principally from Brazil, and as a result of this trade, Brazil sends us more agricultural products than any other country in the world. An nnti treating league has been formed in Ireland with St.

Patrick as its patron, and it is giving promise of great usefulness in the cause of tem The league does not attempt to hinder anybody from takin a. drink It aims simply to bar completely the buying bt drinks for others. If the i movement under the patronage of a good saint brings about a reformation in Ireland it is to be hoped it will be extended to this country. The American field Is open for such a reform and those who would profit by It are not confined to the Irish or any other nationality. The whole population needs a St.

Patrick or some other saint to inspire to greater temperance in the matter of drinking to the end that there may be less misery and greater happiness in every walk of life. THE TALK OF THE DAY. Connoisseurs in wines are in woful plight over the worst of bad news from the European vineyards. The production from French grapes is estimated at less than nine hundred millions of gallons, although more than thirteen hundred millions were pressed out last year. In other parts of Europe similar tales of disappointment are heard.

As Uncle Henry "If one could get what he wished for, I think I should wish for common sense; not for money." Clarence "Naturally evewv person wishes for what he hasn't go" Boston Transcript. The marvellous advances of present day surgery are shown by the readiness of the ablest men In the hospitals to take stitches in the heart itself when patient Is brought In so wounded in the very centre of vitality that such an operation affords the only possible chance of prolonging life.

NO KING OF DUDES NOW WITH PRESENT PREVALENCE OF GOOD DRESSING AND VALUES THERE IS NO OCCASION TO SINGLE OUT ONE MAN AS PARTICULAR DANDY. A special correspondent to the Pittsburg Dispatch from New York says: For the first season in many years New York has no "king of dudes." The distinction once held by Berry Wall, J.

Waldere Kirk, Archie Pell and others appears this year to have fallen to no particular dandy. This may be purely an accident, but there are reasons to believe that the title, with all Its bizarre glory, has lapsed, never again to be recreated. In the days when these monarchs of fashion flourished the average run of men gave less attention to dress than they do today, and their indifferently made raiment afforded an excellent background for the shining perfections of sartorial models. Where twenty men in New York then could boast of a valet as a regular fixture in their establishments nowadays there are a thousand who find the man servant indispensable. English valets are notoriously ill paid, and it appears that within the, past five years the tip has got abroad among them that the American metropolis is a paradise for the profession.

This has brought the cleverest to New York, and they are still in great demand. These fellows not only dress their "mawsters," but most of them possess an artistic instinct which enables them to select and sug gest articles of apparel with the nicest discernment for effect. They are constantly buying new articles of equipment for the wardrobe, such as torsos and pantaloon stretch ers, and part of their daily task is to go over the clothes with an iron and a sponging cloth. Indeed, many of them are adept tailors, and frequently they are graduates of that craft. All this has contributed to establish a dead level of excellence in the matter of dress, so that nowadays fashion kaleidoscope in Fifth avenue presents no light that shines above its fellows.

Again, certain nice details of the toilet, until recently disdained by "masculine" men, have now become necessary evidences of elegance. The average man in New York today does not blush to be seen in a mani cure shop. and the masseur is rapidly growing in favor, independent or an this there is a growing feeling that to be marked as "the best dressed man" is rather an ignoble distinction a flower of barbarism that might best be left to wither. This and more might be said on the passing of the "king of dudes," but it is sufficient to indicate that he has indeed passed. ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

There are four millionaires in England to one in France. Elijah Norton, of Bangor, has a fox farm near that city. Leather is a prominent feature in the housefurnishing of today. G. Uz of Sargent, has possibly the shortest surname on record.

Grim Jiggs is a politician who has recently come to the front in the public affairs of Texas. Railroads in Kansas are capitalized for more than $60,000 a mile, but pay taxes on less than $6,000 a mile. The colonial possessions of France cover an area 20 times as large as that country, and contain 12,000,000 more inhabitants. The best cheese made In Switzerland is usually exported and is seldom to be had even in the famous hotels of that country. "Five stepchildren in the family" have wrecked the marital bliss of Mr.

and Mrs. M. K. Dixon, of Coffeyville, and a divorce suit is pending. NOVEMBER MAGAZINES.

The best detective story that has been written for a long time, and one on quite different lines from the Sherlock Holmes variety, appears over the well known signature of Anna Katherine Green, in the November number of Leslie's Monthly. The reward of $100 offered by the editors for the first solution of the mystery sent in before the publication of the final installment of the story three months hence shows their confidence in the interest this fictitious problem will arouse. Dr. Henry Van Dyke has one of his very best and most characteristic ones in this number of the magazine. There is besides another story of "Glengarry School by Ralph Connor.

William Winter, the foremost dramatic critic in the country, contributes an authoritative and masterly critcism on Richard Mansfield, probably the foremost actor on the American stage. Another theatrical article on "The Making of a Play," from the stage manager's point of view, is illustrated by a unique series of remarkable photographs by Byron, the well known dramatic photographer. Agnes C. Laut, who in "Lords of the North," proved herself an authority on the Hudson Bay regions, has an article in this number on the greatest fur company in the world. The last installment of "The Autobiography of a Thief," and or two bright bits of fiction and verse, complete the number.

THE MARKETS STOCK AND TRADE EXCHANGES CLOSED. BUT BETTER PRICES EXPECTED TODAY. Philadelphia, Nov. 4. This being a legal holiday, all the stocks and trade exchanges were closed, but the security market at London was open and prices there for international stocks were, in the main, higher, and open discount rates easier than at any time in the past week.

The action of the markets yesterday showed to what extent they are influenced by election uncertainties, and the removal of this doubt will mean much to the immediate course of prices. Today's advices were, of course, too meagre to throw any light upon the outcome of the battle to elect congressmen, but the street has made up its mind that the Republican majority in the House will be scaled down, and It was the discounting of this conviction that played no small part In creating yesterday's weakness in prices. It would be but logical, therefore, that if the returns do no more than bear out this belief juices will advance tomorrow, providing, of course, that sterling exchange does not harden; but even gold exports have been so generally expected thut actual engagements for shipments will not have the effect many have anticipated. Leaving politics and gold exports aside, the question that is more dis 'eomd iron and stel trade Jut reached the tnlxtmnm point or Steel people belittle the talk to the effect that reduction in numerous special lines of their product indicates demand is falling below consumption. They say they are not annoyed; that the declines in finished steel and tin plate are restricted to lighter branches, and that the demand is usually light at this season, but nothing is said about inactivity resulting from increased production.

Officials of the United States Steel Corporation assert there is no cause for uneasiness, and they lay emphasis on the tact that the demand for all heavier grades shows no diminution. Today's advices reported that pig iron is being sold a year ahead in Alabama. The statement is made that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company has sold pretty well to July 1 next. The Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company officials say that two thirds of their make for the first half of the coming year has already been disposed of, and sales for the last half of the year's iron are being booked.
