Nearly every pattern of Horse

Blanket is imitated in color and
Jtyle. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the warp threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu
ine it isn't worth one-half asmuch.
The fact that Horse Blunketi
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that
the trade mark is sewed on

NrAOK, N. Y., Dec. 18. Edward H.
Cole is alive In bed at his home in Ky
ack, a demented man. He reached here
by ferry from Tarrytown yesterday.
He does not even recognize his wife
nd father, but they are, so overjoyed
at having him with them again alive,
that their grief at his critical condition
is much allayed. The excitement in the
town Is as groat as the day he disap
peared, and the public rejoicing is
manlfosted on every hand.
When the boat reached Nyack a car
riage was procured, and Isaac 1'ye, a
friend ot Cole, took blm horns. As ho
was assisted from tho vehicle Cole looked
wildly, and then, with h gleam of Intel
ligence in his face, whispered hoarsely
mid brokenly, "Why, this is where I
used to live. "
The greeting by the family was too
affecting for literal description. An ef
fort to force a little wine down tho suf
ferer's throat failed, and Dr. Blauvelt,
who nrrlved a few moments later, or
dorod Cole put to bed at once und de
nied admission to any one but members
of the family.
Cole, was carefully rollevad of his
torn and soiled clothing, uud carried
to his room by the doctor, his father
and a reporter.
It was evident that ho had not been
to bed eince he left Nyack lust Saturday,
and his swollen teet ludicated chat he
hud wandered many miles. Indeed, it
Is thought Mi t )-i he was soen in
Hurlem he ,.a.e ..otu there to Tarry
town, a distune? nf 22 miles.
Mr. DiLki.i . , of Juiues S. Blauvelt
& Co., expressed his pleasure mid relief
at Cole'a return and his earnest hope
for his Bpoedy rocovory. Tho insinua
tions against Cole are nctlng like boom
orungs, and the severity ot public criti
cism against the few who have accused
Cole of dishonesty has iucreased this
morning.

Dktwiit, Dec. 17. Daniel E. Soper,
'cretury of Stale, has tendered his res
ignation to Gov. Wlnuus. This is the
lln il act of the caroerot Mr. Sopor, who
assumed his olUce In January last.
Charges were preferred with the Gov
ernor and verified by Mayor Johnson ot
Lanmiig, accusing him ot malfeasance
In oll.ee, and specifying the giving awuy
of several hundred copies ot the Michi
gan M uiual and fifty sets ot Howell's
Statute!.
It Is also charged that Mr. Sopor
threatened his deputy, Lewis li Rowley,
with dismissal unless he turned o'ver
$500 ot his salary. Gov. Wlnaus acted
very promptly In the matter. The
charges were Hied In the afternoon, and
Sopor' resignation wasdeuianded imme
diately. Super usked for time, but the
Governor Bald no, and on the advice of
M. W. Stevens, Secretary of the Michi
gan World's Fair Commission, the resig
nation wus'proiuplly hau led in. None
ot tiie charges wus denied by Sopor.
The resignation of Secretary of State
Soper uud tho disclosures which seem
inevitable created a sensation here.
Gov. Wlnaus Is here attending tho
Water Ways Convention, uud ho bus no
sympathy for tho Secretary. Ho says:
"Tho first Intimation I had ot these
irregularities was during the tession of
the Legislature. Several ot the members
came to mo with complaints that
they could not get their legislative man
uals Iron, the Secretary. After that
the clerk of the Hoard nt Auditors came
to me regarding bills of furniture and
other items which wore botigut by the
Secretary at high prices, und upou
which a commission wus supposed to
huye beeu received. One of these itui'is
wus a bill of $180 for rugs, apparently
partly wor.i, which he bought und dis
trlbuteil a the offices. Tho clerk
culled on i il times, not for tho
purpose i. . . x complaint against
the r-ecretur. , . j jo.uuiuuicute some
inkli .jj of me Ntntu of affairs iu his
otlice.
'The faci is rir.p.-r had it pretty much
his own way In tha Board of Atlllturs.
When these bills were brought forward
for audit Soper always met their presen
tation with the information that they
were all right, he had bought tho goods,
kuew what they cost, uud so in this
wuy they went turough. I heard among
other things that Soper forbade his sec
retary opening his liHers, and It was
supposed that this meant that ho wus
taking the small sums of money enclos
ed in payment ot orders for Howell's
statutes and tho public ucts.
"Some weeks ago I called upon him
' and told him I would like to see him iu
my room as soon us ne couni maKa it
convenient. I uiu satisfied that the
btate will not be a loser iu auy great

"Will Soper bo prosecuted?"
"That will depend upon tha result
of tho investigation. "

tlckot a year ago, uud has heretofore
