"By 1899 the countess' interests were so heavily compromised by the count's extravagance that it necessitated a family meeting In New Vork and the appointment of u legal trustee. But the difficulties regarding money were unceasing, and In order to obtain funds the count pawned or sold the most costly objects at low prices.

Hearst Back in New Yprk From Remarkable Speak ing Tour—Will Black to Preside at Big Meeting. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. New York. Nov. 1.—Pair skies and bracing weather are the prognostics for election day. , Ordinarily, this would spell profit to the Republican cause. But this elec tion annihilates all political proverbs of |»ast times and mixes Democrats and Republicans In camps of conviction, rather than party. Tho Issue between Hearst and Hughes Is made clearer and more defi nite every day. The trusts, In abso lutely solid rank, are lined up against Hearst. The trusts, in solid rank, are lined up for Hughes. "By their friends us by their fruits shall ye know them/' and the people are wiser than they hove been before. Trusts Fighting Hearst. The best proof of Heorst's absolute sincerity In fighting the trusts is the desperatV sincerity of the trusts fight ing Hearst. Can they buy or bully the election from the people's candidate? "I’M NOT TO WED MR. APE."

Joner, It Is believed that he will soon enter the ministry and follow In the steps of his father. In the talk .young Jones reviewed his isist life up to the time of ItlH conversion some weeks ago. He is \\t*I1 known in Atluutn. for some months being connected with one of the Atlanta newspaper*. During recent years, however, be has been In Cartersvllle engaged In looking after Ills father's plantation near that city. Should young Jones decide to enter the ministry his action will be almost Iden tical with that of Sam Jones, who be gan preaching soon after his father’s death. During the ten days* meeting con ducted in < ’urtersvin* in September by the late Sam Jones at his tabernacle, I there were quite u number of convor- ’ slon*. Before the meeting elosed the evangelist came to* the front of the platform and In his characteristic man ner, kindly and sympathetic smile. In vited sinners to come to the altar. A great many i*»nltents came for ward ami the big-hearted preacher giHK|ied their hands and spoke kind words to all. Among those who re- *lMinded to the Invitations was Robert Jones, son of the evangelist. Sam Jones gras tied the hand of his son and said: "God bless you.

I heard n Tammany audience last night applaud to,the echo the statement that Tammany hrved a Treat fighter and loved Hearst air the tetter for the licking he gave them two years ago. Betting Cuts No Figure. The uasembly rallies were partial nrly enthusiastic last night and rang Ith applause over the Indorsement of Hearst by Nathan Straus, the Demo cratic philanthropist, and by Bryan and Adlal Stevenson, the Democratic nomi nees of 1900. The betting odds, which slightly fa vor Hughes, cut no figure here, be cause men recall that ten days before the election In which Hearst undoubt edly won tho mayoralty, the odds were 10 to 1 on McClellan and 4 to 1 on the day before election. Up to this time It Is believed that the Hughes camp Is short of money, and only money can save It. Silent Vote Is Feared. The New York World, ablest and fairest of the opposition (taper*. de clares this morning that the great si lent vote le a menacing reality this year, and that, while the Republicans hope for the best, they fear the worst. They fear that thc disaffected Democratic vote will bo more than upset by the disaffected labor-vote, and the paper reports the Republican campaign man agers as shrieking to their subordi nates: "Get back the labor vote." The fear In every Republican, public and private, Is a landslide for Hearst. Senator Halley’s denunciation of Hearst cuts no figure here, when It Is remembered how scathingly Heurst has denounced Baileys' senatorial ca reer and his connection with Standard Oil. Heeret Displays Courage. The’- iierooiial element of the cam paign has no more thrilling feature than the marvelous courage of Hearst. His daring knows no bounds, and each day records some fresh Instance of the superb nerve of the man. Only a few days ago he was attacking and ex posing the most powerful paper In ti»e Western world; another day he was Re nouncing the reckless statement ^ of Murphy, the powerful udherent whom he has literally chastised into working for him; another day he was defying the McClellan Democracy In eloquent terms, and now he Is boldly demanding the Indictment of the state board of elections for criminal Ignorance or par tisanship In the case of the league nominees. Surely the definite Democracy has found a leader, bold, dashing, resource ful and tireless to the last limit of en durance. Hearst It Great Speaker. Hearst Is back today from his lust tour of the state. He has made on an average six speeches a day. And great iieeches they were; pungent, tense, packed with meat and bristling uith epigrams that enter the minds of the people. And they arc splendidly de livered. lleurst's development a* an orator since Ills Atlanta visit Is little short velous. Two Western congress men told me yesterday that*, not Bryan himself controlled and swept an audi- iico better than the man who was barged uttli not being able to make . si*ech. Ami the liest speech of his campaign was made Impromptu at Syracuse In answer to un afternoon news|»aper, put into his hands after lie took hfs seat on the stage. Statements ef Hearet. Here are some of Mr. Henrst's terse statements: "I believe In good wages for good work, not because It benefits trades New York, Nov. 1.—AJ'UHani R.

Several night meetings will he held where Mr. Hughes will appear. He, too, will devote himself until elec tion day In canvassing the city, and a whirlwind finish will be given the cam paign by both candidate*. $60,000 Reward le Offered. Hearst charges that election frauds will again be attempted, and has conie to the front with a reward of $50,000 for the Information to convict persons using corrupting method* In the elec tion. A bitter attack on Elihu Root, sec retary of stute, who !* to speak to night In Utica for Hughes, Is another feature .of the Hear*t campaign today. Hearst'* newspapers charge Root with being in the employ of Thomas F. Ryan and say the secretary 1* here working for Hughes* election Jn Ryan’s behalf. In the Hughes camp there Is no le*u activity than among the Hearst sup porters. Hi* champions are Neelng that literature attacking Hearst at Ills supposedly vulnerable points is placed before the voters.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FOLK MAY SECURE NEW DEAL INCHURCH MANAGEMENT Concord, X. If., Nov. 1.—Radical changes in thc management of affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker, G. Eddy and the Christian’ Science church ure likely to take place some recent . develop ments here which resulted In an "ex hibition" of Mrs. Eddy before a num ber of newspuper men and women, sent here to learn the truth of the report that the uged lady Is near death's door, and a mere find in the hittids of a lx sly of men who are really managing the affairs of the church in her name. There Is a well crystallised sentiment favoring a new deal In the leadership of the church—a condition of affairs by which those who love and revere Mrs. Kddy may keep in touch with her con dition and her work without resort to such ex|s>dlents as that of Tuesday, when she was brought out of her re tirement. Mystery It Opposed. There is also a feeling that even thouph everything may be regular Iff tho management of Mrs. Eddy’s af fairs, and even though the disposition [of her vast fortune may have been made In connection with her desires, it would be better that the fountain head of such a stupendous (organisation as the Christian Science church has be come, should be conducted In an o|»en manner on business principles Instead of being handled so mysteriously. There can he no doubt that such deals us that of Tuesday are a terrible strain on the nervous system of a wo* man of Mrs. Eddy’s age and tempera ment, and while many of the leading Christian Scientists agree that the pub lic Is entitled to know the real condi tion of Mrs. Kddy, they declare that the system which resulted In her se clusion and made the ordcut necessary Is at fault. Whole Country Stirred. From the letters |>ourlng In here. It is evident that the entire country has been stirred, and those who ure In u position to know, predict that a move ment will be launched In a very few days looking to a complete readjust ment of the affairs of the head of the Christian Science church. STRIKEBREAKERS DECLARE 7 HEY WERE BROUGHT HERE . UNDER FALSE PRETENSES Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. 1.—The Ute In dluns are In an ugly mood and willing to fight at the least provocation. The Indications are that the troops will have no child's play In putting down the rising of the redskins, according to special couriers, who have come into this place from the scene of the Indian operations. A skirmish occurred yesterday be tween a body of Utes and a detachment of the Tenth cavalry near Bitter creek, according to a courier’s Information. The troopers, who hud cuptured about forty Ute ponies, were driving < them away, when, suddenly, they were greet ed with rifle and revolver shots and war whoops from more than 100 mounted Utes. The Indians did not fire upon the troopers, hut they stumpeded the po nies and afterwards retook all hut five, tills number having been killed either by the fussllade or In the crush of the stampede. The Ute* were not pursued, as they greatly outnumbered the troop ers. City Has Cleared $260,228 Since January 1. PROFITS FOR 1906 WILL BE $126,105 Economy and Value of Mu nicipal Plants Proven by Figures in Re port. Two Steamers Laden With Petroleum Are Also Threatened. New York, Xoy. 1.—Thc entire plant of the Standard Oil company at Conxtnbtc Hook, X. J., and two Id); steamships Imlcn with oil and ready to sail for Europe arc threatened with destruction by tire. The blare started in the New Jersey oil warehouse, which is built Against the bulk head of one of tin* piers to whicli the ships were moored. Xo one in the plant knows how the fire was started. Thc first intimation that it was raging reached the office through an auto matic alarm. The records of thc Atlanta water works department through October 31 show that the profits since January 1 have been $260,228.42. The actual Income, including public service, lias been $400,119.83. The ac tual ex|>enditure*. excluding Invest ments for tiie enlargement and better ment of the service, have been $189,- 891.41.. The difference, which Is the actual profits reaped by the city from the waterworks, Is $260,228.42. It is estimated that by the end of ttife year the profits will have Increased at least $25,000. So for the year 1906. the city will he richer by $285,228.42. by reason of owning her own waterworks, plant. And the saving Ui the people of At lanta because of cheap water made pos sible by the ownership of the plant by the city Isn't figured In It nil. Tills re(H»rt Is considered one of the strongest arguments that coulu be ad vanced In favor of municipal owner ship. Thc figures arc eloquent and forceful. What Figures Mean. The profit represent* 6 per ceat on $5,000,4)00. Tho actual money that the city has In the waterworks Is $254,887. The difference between,this last aum and $2,537,572, which is the value of tho w'ftterworktf represented In money invested Ijv It. Is tha amount the water works has already paid back Into the olty treasury. Tho plant, aa It now stands, would, it Is thought, bring <6,000,000 If sold to a S rlvatc corporation. If tho plant will ring 6 tier cent Interest on $8,0("».M0 for the city, It would bring more for a private corporation, whoso price for water would he higher, Just ns the i»ri< «• of gas Is higher than It would he It owned by tho city. The following figures ar© gained from tho books of the waterworks depart ment. .covering tho (>erind extending from Jununry 1 to November 1: operating expense*......... $94,1^1.41 Interest on bond* 44,710.0') Total exi»ense $139,891.41 Receipts for water.... 275,127.21 Fecelpts for tapping 24,137.62 Receipts for old machinery sole!. 1.752.56 Public service. 159,122.44 Total receipts $260,22S. 12 Not figuring what Is saved by the city for not having to pay for Its own water, tho profits would amount to $101,105.98. With about $15,000 added to this for the profits for the two re maining months of the year, the profits for the year, not counting public sei- vloe, would be $126,105.98. 0OCQOO000O00000O0G00COO OO o O O O THI8 18 THE DAY THAT o O MAKES PARTRIDGE QUAIL.
