THE PITTBBTJRGr DISPATCH, FRIDAY, 'JULY, 8.' 189a
m"
VIEWS OF CITIZENS
The Situation at Homestead
and of Union Labor Lo
cally Discussed.
MOBE TBOUBLE EXPECTED.
A General Apprehension of More Des
perate Scenes to Come.
THE SHERIFFS POSSE MUST GO.
A Disinclination to Fay Anything About
the Situation.
HOW MILL STRIKES MIGHT BE AVOIDED
An attempt was made yesterday to get
the opinions of leading citizens on the labor
situation and the probable result or out
come of the trouble at Homestead. A great
majority of those interrogated pleaded
ignorarfce of the situation, notwithstanding
the fall exposition of it furnished by The
Dispatch for the past two weeks, and de
clared they could not give an intelligent
opinion. Many, when asted, begged to be
excused, saving they did not wish to take a
position on either side, 'even to expressing
their honest opinions. The trend oi opin
ion seems to be that there will be more and
serious trouble at Homestead before either
side wins a permanent victory.
C la. JIagee, however, thinks .there will
be no more serious outbreaks. "The only
thing to be done," said he, "to maintain the
Government at Homestead is for the Sheriff
to go up there to-morrow and take posses
sion of the works. That is his duty. If he
fails from any cause, the Governor will be
compelled to order out the National Guard
to protect the company's property. No one
questions the right of the company to take
care of its property, but as to the policy
pursued by the company during the past few
days that is quite another matter. The out
come of this dispute, owing to the infuriated
state of the men at Homestead, is beyond
any man's conjecture. I sincerly trust
there will be no more bloodshed."
Advocating a revision of Frofltn.
Colonel E. J. Allen It is unfortunate
that the workingmen hare placed them
selves in a position where they must defend
their actions in court. That is where this
matter is bound to go, but before it reaches
that point I am apprehensive of further
trouble at Homestead, if it does not extend
to other places. It is a pity that our big
manufacturing concerns do not all adopt a
system of pro rata division oi profits with
their employes. "Wherever adopted jt has
proven successful. H. K. Porter.in this city,
has had such system in operation at his
locomotive works for several years, and it
has been beneficial to him and to his men.
He has not had a strike since its adoption,
his men take an interest in their work and
endeavor to swell the profits in every possi
ble way, knowing that they will get their
share according to the size of their salary.
The labor situation is a grave one. If the
unions are defeated and driven out of ex
istence, as the Carnegie firm evidently de
sires, the men will have no protection what
ever. Manufacturers will get to cutting
prices awav down, and in order to maintain
their profits will slash the wages of the
workers. The ultimate effect will be busi
ness depression of a general nature. Nb
one will make money but the big corpora
tions. Baa Faith In tha Workmen.
"William E Ford thinks the workmen are
prepared to respect the law. Said he: "If
Sheriff McCIearr goes up to Homestead to.
morrow witli a dozen deputies they will
not meet with opposition. I believe the
leaders are too sensible to defy the Govern
ment, knowing that action would at once
place them in antagonism with manv
who are now friendly to them and
would lend them reasonable assistance.
I hope something will lie done tc arrange
the difficulty without breaking up the
Amalgamated Association. The State and
National Governments have for several
years been protecting corporations in every
way, and it has come to such a pass that
without a man has considerable wealth he
cannot engage in any business. In the
iron and steel business, for instance, so
great are the advantages given to
the big corporations that unless a
man lias a couple of millions to
invest he stands no show at all, and
the same conditions apply to other branches
of business. liven a grocery business these
davs requires capital for success. If the
unions are forced out of the iron and steel
manufactories the corporations in that busi
ness in this country will hold a sway un
equaled in any class of trade in the world.
Ccmp'Iinfntlnsthe OrooLs Law.
Captain J.G. Stewart.of Common Council,
foreman of the Pennsylvania llailroad yards,
is apprehensive that Wednesday's battle at
Homestead is only a circumstance compared
with what is to come.
"Those men are in a desperate state," he
said, "and I would not be surprised if mob
law seized the town and the works besides.
It is to be hoped no conflict with the mili
tary will occur. The people of Homestead
should be thankful that under fear of Mhe
Brooks law the saloonkeepers at Home
stead hae obeyed the SherifTs command to
close. If liquor were procurable in that
town yesterday there would have been a
terrible slaughter. It was bad enough as it
was, but liquor would have made U much
norse. I remember that liquor caused the
trouble in 1877 in this city. There would
not bare been half the damage had there
been no liquor, and yet, strangely enough,
liquor prevented the damage lfom going
further. The leaders of the riot opened a
carload of whisky, and breaking open the
barrels drank it from pint tincups. They
drank too much. In a few hours Liberty
street was literally covered with stupefied
men and the work ef destruction had ended."
Might Always Sncceasfdf Agalnat Klsht.
Controller Morrow has not read the news
papers; it is his boast that he seldom does,
but from what he has heard he thinks the
backbone of unionism is broken in this
city. "I am afraid to express my opinion,"
he said when asked what he thought would
be the outcome of the Homestead trouble,
"but I believe this fight is a death blow to
the Amalgamated Association and all other
labor associations im our manufactories.
The great corporations are bound to win if
they are determined to do so, and if they
are successful in this struggle my prediction
will be realized. No matter how just the
claims of the workmen may be in this dis
pute, might win; against right all the
time."
An Altoona Mystery Cleared Up.
Altoon A, July 7. Searching parties or
ganized to look for Dr. Gurnsey, a New
York man, who mysteriously disappeared
from a small town in Clearfield county,
where he was spending his vacation, have
found his body at the bottom'of a deep dam.
It was standing iu an upright position and
surrounded on all sides by heavy rocks.
This leads to the theory that he was stand
ing on the bank fishing, when it gave way
beneath his feet
A Stabbing Affray Between Children.

Interesting Exercises of the Seventh TJ. F.
Church In Allegheny.
The corner-stone for the proposed new
Seventh TJ. P. Church, Allegheny, was laid
last evening with interesting ceremony.
The site is located on California avenue
near the Superior street bridge. The
grounds were brilliantly lighted, and the
novel service of laying a cornerstone at
night was witnessed. A large number of
persons were present, including almost the
entire congregation. The pastor, Kev. G.
"W. McDonald, opened with prayer, and
the exercises were then conducted by
Eev. Dr. J. "W. "Witherspoon, assisted by
several other clergymen. Key. Dr. Kobin
son was expected to attend, but he was not
able to do so. In the stone werejjlaced
some coins, papers and the hymn and prayer
books of the TJ. P. Church.
The church when completed will be a line
one. It Is situated on a pretty lot, and will
be constrncted from white stone and pressed
brick. The building will be of Gothic ar
chitecture, two stories high and have a
pastor's study and class room. The cost is
estimated at 515,000, nearly all of which has
been guaranteed by pledges.
The congregation was organized about 12
years ago by the present pastor, who was
then a divinity student He conducted
mission services on Beaver avenue, and in
a few years gathered such a congregation
and aroused such enthusiasm that they
built a tiame chapel on Strawberry lane.
COHFEEKED WITH THE LEADERS. ,
JlcCIeary Held a Secret Meetln; In the
Court House Last fl;ht.
The office of Sheriff MeCleary was the
scene of a conference last evening that last
ed until after 11 o'clock. At an early hour
in the evening, Sheriff MeCleary issued
instructions to the watchman of the Court
House to only allow certain persons whom
he named into the building. The ones
named arrived, and until after 11 o'clock
were closeted in the Sheriff's office. They
were C. L. Magee, John F. Cox, as Home
stead attorney, John McCluckie,Burgess of
Homestead; Hugh O'Donnell; of Home
stead; President Vcihc and President-elect
Garland, of the Amalgamated Association;
David Lynch, William Eoberts, Jerry
Dougherty and James MeCrory.
"W hen the conference ended, the Home
stead and Amalgamated people went out
the Grant street door instead of thetlloss
street entrance, the one usually used at
night. They were seen, however, but all
refused to give any information as to the
purpose of their conference with the Sheriff
or its results. Sheriff MeCleary also gave
out no information, and what eflect the con
ference will have on the proposed trip of
the Sheriff to Homestead to-day was not
divulged.
PDEE WATER FOR PITT3BUEO.
Frogress of the Steel i'ips Line From In
dian Creek to This Cltv.
The lines are located for the 5-foot steel
pipe line from Indian Creek to Pittsburg.
The idea is to convey pure mountain water
to Pittsburg. The line, as proposed, crosses
Turtle creek; thence through north Ver
sailles township, passing within five miles
of McKeesport, and follows the Fayette
county line until the desired point is
reached. From the surveyors it was learned
that tlte survey is completed llrom Pitts
burg. It is proposed" to build a dam in In
dian creek, giving a large pool from which
good supply of water can be obtained.

THE GRAXD 0M) MAN BADLY BADGEKED
BY CABLE TO TUE DISPATCH.!
London, July 7. CopyrfyAt Interest
in the electoral fight has been maintained
unabated up to the present moment, and
bids fair to continue until most 'of the
county constituencies have been polled.
The boroughs have admittedly not done so
much for Gladstone as bad been expected,
but the counties where the Liberals were
badly beaten in 1886 will more than make
up for, this.
Probably the strangest result made known
yet is that at Newcastle, where John Mor
ley was placed second to one Hammond, a
montebank sort of Tory, locally known as
"Old Charlie," a compound of crank and
fanatic, who has so much money that he has
six times unsuccessfully tried to enter Par
liament Hammond thinks he has a mis
sion to make the radicals spend noney in
needless election contests, and he has him
self spent about 20,000 in demonstrating
that he is not a mere theorist
Worklnemen'i Grudge Tflih Morley.
Newcastle workingmen, whom Morley of
fended by refusing to support an eight-hour
bill, threatened to support "Old Charlie"
in order to spite John Morley, but unfor
tunately nobody treated their menace
seriously.
"Old Charlie's" latest appeal was issued
yesterday morning. He collected all the
street beggars in Newcastle, decorate them
with scarlet favors, his colors, and set them
moving about the city, bearing a placard in
scribed, "Vote for Hammond, the blind
man's friend."
Morley is reported lobe much incensed at
being placed second to such a man, but he
will probably find consolation in the defeat
of Cabinet Minister Ritchie in the East
End of London, announced to-night
Ritchie is an able man and has done good
work for his party. A place-hunting Tory
lawyer, Bruce, who has maintained a safe
seat in the Holborn division of London,
will probably be given a judgeship or some
thing of that sort, in order to induce him to
retire in favor of Ritchie.
The Sllk-Stocklngs at tha Foils.
Polling took place to-day in the city of
London, but a stranger passing through the
streets would not have been made aware of
the fact City merchants, bankers and
traders, who are mostly Tories, think it bad
form to Show electoral excitement. As a
rule, city seats are not contested, and the
fight to-day has been between three Tories,
Alderman Ritchie, a brother of the defeated
Minister, haying been nominated at the
last moment as a protest against caucus
domination and bullying. Voters polled
to-dav in a langnid, gentlemanly way, and
as nobody, not even the candidates, cared to
stay late in order to learn the result, the
counting of votes was postponed until to
morrow. The counting of several other constitu
encies has been postponed for more credit
able reasons, and the net result of to-day's
work cannot be known until to-morrow
afternoon, but the facts that Liberals have
already gained on the day five seats in Lon
don and one in the provinces have been suf
ficient to depress prematurely jubilant
Tories, and to restore something like en
thusiasm to weak-kneed Home Rulers.
Gladstone has made a net gain of 21 seats.
An additional net gain of only 14 seats will
give him a majority of two over the Tories
and Unionists.
Losing Ground In Midlothian.
. The Daily TJegraph says Mr. Gladstone's
reception in Midlothian has been far less
enthusiastic than usual. His friends admit
that the majority that he had in 1885 may
be reduced by thousands of votes. The in
dications are that there will be a far greater
reduction than his friends concede, if his
majority !b not entirely wiped out
"yhen Mr. Usher, the brewer at Corstor
phine, who questioned Mr. Gladstone while
the.latter was addressing a Liberal gather
ing at that place yesterday, began to put.
his questions from the huge manuscript he
carried, the crowd greeted him with a storm
of abuse, they thinking the questions were
put solely lor the purpose of "heckling"
the speaker. After a time the crowd in
sisted that Mr. Usher ascend the platform.
Mr. Usher strode to Mr. Gladstone's side,
where, amid. continued interruptions, he de
manded whether the Liberal leader ap
proved of the campaign in Ireland. Mr.
Gladstone lumped to his feet and indie-
"nantly said the questioner had never taken
the pains to read his speeches. He reiter
ated that it was the Government that
brought about the plan of campaign.
Mr. Usher waited until the renewed and
prolonged uproar had subsided, and then
said: "Then I understand that under these
circumstances Mr. Gladstone approved the
plan of campaign."
Mr. Gladstone Grows Sarcastic.
Mr. Gladstone responded with intense
irony, pointing and shaking his finger, and
saying: "I am not responsible for this
gentleman's understanding." This brought
forth vociferous cheering, which lasted for
three minutes. "I am responsible," said
Mr. Gladstone, dramatically, "for the un
derstanding that the Almighty has pleased
to lodge in this skull of mine," tapping his
head as he spoke, "but I am not responsi
ble for the understanding Almighty God
has been pleased to lodge in that skull of
his," pointing to Mr. Usher. ,
Mr. Gladstone then asked' if Mr. Usher
had any further questions to put The lat
ter,' thereupon, asked about the law of con
spiracy. Mr. Gladstone, with a fierce flash
of the eye, said: "You want to entangle me
in a legal question."
&t. Gladstone next replied to a question
about hoycotting, when Mr. Usher de
manded: "Would you accept an alliance
with the Parnellltes if you could get it?"
Mr. Gladstone' trembled with indignation.
He paused for a moment and then began:
"I wish, my friend, that "
Here the crowd shouted, "Don't answer."
The Chairman of the meeting declared
that the question was impertinent, and said
he would not allow it
the Irish Government Question.
Mr. Usher, undaunted, continued his
Questioning. He-asked: "Who have been
the supporters of law and order hitherto in
(Ireland." '
"Mr. fMsdutnne renlied: "Not the titmpiiI
Government, for in 1887 they shot down by
constabulary and soldiers three innocet
men who were engaged in a legal and peace
able meeting, and this gentleman supports
them," concluded Mr. Gladstone, empha
sizing his words with resounding ythumps
upon the table.
A resolution of confidence inilr. Glad
stone was proposed. Farmer Grey moved
a counter resolution. Mr. Uslier's son sec
onded Mr. Grey's motion, and seven votes
were cast in favor ot it
Mr. Gladstone, replying to this vole, said
lie was glad that the amendment was
moved, as it tested the sentiment of this
open meeting. A voice' here ejaculated,
"No, no, packed." WJiile Mr. Gladstone
continued, one of his supporters kept shout
ing, "Five harias and a stick," in allusion
to the votes on the amendment Mr. Glad
stone was so annoyeft that he-turned to the
interrupter, and said irritably, "I will not
enter into a conflict of lungs with you, sir."
The meeting concluded with hearty-cheers
for Mr. Gladstone
Mr. Gladstone in the course of an ad
dress delivered at West, Calder to-day, said
that while he deplored the had state of
trade in the district, he repudiated the idea
that reciprocity-would cure it
The Contest in Ireland.
It li probable that William O'Brien, who
was yesterday elected in Cork City and to
day in the Northeast division of Cork
county, will decide to sit for Cork City. la
this event Thomas Sexton, who was de
feated yesterday by a Unionist, will stand
for the Northeast division of the county.
To-day's estimate of the National Federa
tion in Dublin indicates anti-Parnellite
victories in 78 contests in Ireland, Parnell
ite Victories in 4, Tory victories in 18, and
Liberal victories in 3. -.
A RIOTOUS BRIDE.
A Fight Follows the Wedding,, and She
Uses a Knife on the Crowd Har Bas
eband Slashed Across tho Stomach Other
Victims.
A wedding occurred on the Southside
last night which ended in a small-sized riot
in which three people were badly cut and
five were subsequently arrested. The bride
figured as the principal rioter, and her hus
band as the chief victim. Sadie Mahue,
well'known to the police from the shanty
boat district at the foot of South Eight
street, and Grant Sherring were married at
the house of William Galbreatb, on the old
Tenth street road above Welsh row. There
was a large crowd present to celebrate the
event and considerable drinking.
Robert Galbreatb, a brother of William,
lives in a house on the hillside almost ad
joining and his family .was at the redding.
About 11 o'clock the crowd became hilar
ious and divided into two factions.
The trouble arose over a dispute be
tween the two parties over the ques
tion of relationship. In an instant
about a dozen knives wer.e drawn and a
battle began. The Mahue woman seized a
large butcher knife and started for the
crowd. She first assaulted an unknown,
cutting him on the arm. Then she darted
toward her husband, and lashed him across
the stomach cutting a gash about eizht
inches in length. She was seized by
three men, and dragged out to
the strett, disarmed and thrown
over the embankment leading down to
Welsh row. She scrambled up again, ran
into the house by a rear door, got.another
knife and made a wild dash at the crowd
again. This time she cut Eli Galbreath on
the head twice, and arrputated a thumb for
a young man named Story.
In the meantime the crowd was largely
increased by a wild mob from the surround
ing neighborhood and everyone had a hand
In the melee. Men were thrown oyer the
rear porch, a distance of six. or eight
feet, faces and hands were cut and scratched,
women were knocked down and trampled
upon, and there was every indication of a
general riot for a full half hour.
Word was sent to the Twenty-eighth
ward station by Officer Clinton, who then
guarded the place until assistance came.
Inspector Kelly and Officers Smith, Coch
ran, Diebold and Beers went to the scene of
the trouble and arrested William, Robert
and Eli Galbreath, John and William
Fleming and Beckie Galbreath. The Mahue
woman and her husband made their escape
before the police appeared,' but it is ex
pected they will be arrested before morning.
TEACHERS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Needed legislation Recommended by the
State Superintendent.
Beaveb Falls, July 7. SpedaZ. This
morning the sessions of the State Teachers'
Association opened by an address by Dr. D.
J. Waller. Jr., Superintendent of public
instruction of Pennsylvania. He said where
a disposition exists to reduce taxation in
consequence of the large appropriation made
last year, it would be found that it was not
where the expense was heavy, but where
the poorest work has been done. He de
clared that a compulsory law of some kind
must be formulated to meetthe failure of
children to attend school. Owing to the
illness of Dr. E. D. Mansfield, President of
Lafayette College, Prof. Hamilton, of Pitts
burg, read his paper, entitled "The Ulti
mate End of Education." He said he came
from a town where if a man didn't drink
beer it was thought that something was
wrong with him.
Major G. L. Eberhart, of New Brighton,
responded to the query: "Can We Have
Scientific Honesty?" A telegram was read
from Col. J. A. M. Passimore, of Philadel
phia, who regretted he is unable to attend.
This is the .first time in 20 years that he has
failed to attend a meeting. Miss Anna
Buckbee, ot Harrisburg, read a paper, en
titled, "What Should Be the Proportion of
Male and Female Teachers in Public
Schools?" In the afternoon Day id S. Keck,
President, made his report.

Mary hteln Built a Fire Under a Fan or
the Stuff ana Will Die.
Mary Stein, 13 years old, who lives with
her parents on Mansion street, Twenty-,
third ward, was fatally burned by a gasoline
explosion yesterday afternoon. The girl's
brother had been cleaning a neck-tie, and
having a pan of gasoline he carelessly set
it on the stove. The girl, in obedience to
her mother's request, started to build a fire
in the stove when the gas exploded. Her
clothing caught fire and burned her so badly
that she will probably die. The burning
oil set fire to the kitchen, and an alarm was
turned in from Box 98. The blaze was ex
tinguished before any damage was done the
building

rapidity and keenness at Minneapolis,
where the President was nominated by the
Federal officeholders and delegates from
Southern Democratic States.
Mr. Carter conferred with Mr. Campbell,
Hon. Sam Fessenden, of Connecticut, and
General James S. Clarkson. Subsequently
Mr. Carter and General Clarkson joined
Russell A. Alger, in ex-Senator Piatt's
office in Lower Broadway. It was only a
short call, and after deliberating the rest of
the day, until 9 o'clvck this evening, Mr.
Campbell, in the presence of Mr. Carter, an
nounced the appointment of the Republican
National Executive Committee as follows:
J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa; Garrett A. Hobart,
of New Jersey: Joseph H. Manley, of
Maine; Samuel Fessenden, of Connecticut;
Henry C Pavne, of Wisconsin; Richard C
Kerens, of Missouri; William O. Bradley, of
Kentucky; William A. Sutherland, of New
York, and John R. Tanner, of Illinois.
Carter's Statement to the Prr
Mr. Carter then said that he wished to
say a few words to the reporters, and he
dictated this: "The members of the Na
tional Committee jnst named who were in
town to-day have conferred with the State
Republican Committee, and harmonious re
lations have been established and will be
continued during the campaign."
One of those present, taking this to mean
that the troubles between the Washington
Republicans and those in charge of the
New York State machine had been satisfac
torily settled, inquired: "Then, Mr. Car
ter, von have seen Mr. Piatt to-dav?"
"Oh yV' replied Mr. Carter,'"! had a
very pleasant interview with Mr. Piatt"
As a matterof fact, the conference be
tween Mr. Carter an'd his associates with
the '"State Republican Committee,"
(meaning the Bureau in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, presided over by Mr. Hackett),
means nothing at all and the breach is just
as wide as ever.
Campbell Still to Have Work to Do.
Mr. Carter, 6ontinuing to talk, said that
all hands wished Mr. Campbell to serve in
some capacity 011 the National Committee,
and it was possible that Mr. Campbell in
the future will take the place ot one of the
gentlemen named in the list ,
Mr. Campbell proposes to take Mr. Tan
ner's place. Mr. Carter also believed that
,in the near future a branch of the national
headquarters will be established in Chicago.
This contemplated move is fen- the purpose
ot keeping a sharp eye on Indiana and the
Northwest
The committee named by Mr.a Campbell
will assemble in New York shortly, and
name for chairman the gentleman whom the
President is to select. ,
There was a smile among Republicans
when the committee was made known. It
savored so strongly of the Blaine element
that there were two conjectures one being
that there was an effort to capture the fol
lowers of Mr. Blaine, and the other thas
Mr. Campbell, who has always bap a
Blaine man, had picked out the men who
were personally congenial to him.
The Blaine Men on the Committee.
In the first place, Mr. Clarkson, the re
cently retired chairman of the committee.led
the anti-Harrison forces at Minneapolis, He
was supported by Mr. Manley, Mr. Blaine's
old frhnd in Augusta, Mr.' Fessenden, of
Connecticut, Mr. Pavne, of Wisconsin, and
Mr. Sutherland, of New York.
The only out-and-out Harrison men on
the committee are'Mr. Ilobnrt, of New Jer
sey, Mr. Kerens, of Missouri, and Mr.
Bradley, of Kentucky. Mr. Tanner, of
Illinois, is merely a makeshift for the pres
ent occasion, and it is a'most positively
known that he is to be shortly succeeded by
Mr. Campbell.
Senator Piatt said, referring to the state
ment that Mr. Carter had had a very pleas
ant interview with him: "I saw Mr. Carter
for about three miniates only, and our con
versation was on the most general sub
jects." Dr. Depew and Mr. Carter called at Mr.
Hackett's bureau to-day for a short time.
All are apprehensive over the friction that
exists between the President and the powers
now in command of the Republican forces
of New York State. Every effort is being
made to patch up these differences.
CONFESSED MUEDEB AND DIED.
To Believe Bis Conscience an Oil City Man
Says He Once Killed a Man.
Oil Crrr, July 7. Special. A man
who gave his name as Thomas 'McMahon
made a confession shortly before his death
to an attendant at the hospital early this
morning, under'the name of Midhael Mc
Bride. He was seriously wounded in a row
on the Fourth, and during the time he was
confined at thex hospital his mind wan
dered. He would exclaim, "Boys, boys,
don't fight. " About 11:30 last night he felt
his time was drawing near and he made a
dying statement to his attendant, to whom
he had become very much attached. ,
He was 32 years ot age, he said, and form
erly a trumpeter in the English array, from
which he was a deserter. He explained to
Mr. Sharp, the attendant, that his reasons
for changing his name was that he had once
killed a man. He did not give any names,
dates or any details. He intimated that he
had considerable money, but could not
secure it without revealing his identity.
The time iras drawing near when Mc Bride
could speak no more. He was rapidly grow
ing weak, and his voice fell to a whisper as
he spoke of his sisters in Philadelphia, and
gave final instructions as to what should be
written to them. In case of his death, Mr.
Sharp should write to them; otherwise noth
ing should be written. The mind of the
dying man seemed to be relieved, the
whispering ceased, and soon afterward the
end came.

Committee meets in New York, July 20,"

Her Devotion to Mololcat Xepers Jot So
Deep as Wa Hr Love. t
San Fkancisco, July 7. 'SpeclaT. On
the steamer Alameda, which arrived to-day,
'came Sister Rose Gertrude, member of an
English Sisterhood who two years ago
gained world-wide notoriety'"by oBering to
devote her life to the care of lepers at
Molokai. Coming as this did upon . the'
death of Father Damian, who fell a victim
to.his devotion, her heroism excited much
comment, and she left for Honolulu with a
halo of martyrdom about her head. When
she reach Honolulu she disappointed all
her friends, for instead of taking up resi
dence at Molokai, where she was sorely
needed, she remaiped at the leper hospital
in Honolulu.
Unkind critics say the attraction was a
young physician at the hospital, Dr.'Lutez,
.and they proved true. AfteT a year's serv
ice she married Ltitez.. He was thrown out
out of his position, and now comes here to
begin practice as a phvsician. "He is an
undersized, weak man, whose appearance is
not helped by huge spectacles. She was
pale, and her cheeks sunken, as she was
seasick all the way over. On the same
steamer with Sister Rose Gertrude was Mrs.
Dr. S. B. Swift, who did what she hadn't
courage to attempt. Mrs. Swift remained
in Molokai four years, where her husband
was superintendent She had her infant
child with her. but said she never felt fear.
She gave all her time, to the lepers, but
never received a word of praise for her de
votion. BABBITT WILL HOT HAVE IT.
He Is Too Boiv to Accept the Chairman
ship for the'Drmocrats.
Philadelphia, July 7. Concerning
the action of the Democratic city executive
committee, and of various other, organiza"
tions, in recommending Secretary of State
W. F. Harrity for the Chairmanship of the
Democratic National Committee, Mr. Har
rity said this evening, when questioned: "I
am sure that the action of the political or
ganizations of Philadelphia in recommend
ing my selection as Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee was prompted
by kindness and friendship, but it was
taken without consultation with me. I had
no idea whatever that such a move wonld
be made, and I certainly would have pro
tested against it In connection with the
subject of the chairmanship I 'can only re
peat with emphasis what I have already
stated, that I .am not only not a candidate
tor the chairmanship but have no desire
whatever to fill the position.'
' "My official, professional and business
engagements," said Mr. Harrity, "are such
that I could not accept the 'situation, if
desired. I would certainly be obliged to
decline, and I would like it so understood.
I shall be ready to render any-assistance in
my power in the coming campaign, which'I
expect to be successful, but my name should
be dismissed from further consideration
with the chairmanship."
The Democratic National Committee will
meet at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. New
York, on Wednesday, July 20, at 3:30 P. M.
