If they do the innovation should . be reckoned ns one of their title to the favorable attention of the exposition-poinp public. It is said that all the candidate for the United State senate from Il linois to succeed Senator Mason are attending the republican convention at Cranite City today. Senator Mason will try to prevent instruction beinp piven for Hopkins, and Mr. Dawes, with ludpe L. V. Sherman, will be present also for the name purpose." Mr. Hop kins will probably be present and an effort will lie made by the friends of Mr. Ilopkin in Madison county to in struct the nominee for the state senate and the lower house of the lepislatiire for Hopkins.

Now that the llritish government has decided to suppress the L'nited Irish leapue and has ordered ten bat talions of Knplish and Scotch militia to Ireland for that purpose, it is in terestinp to inquire, "What is the I c a -pue tryinp to do".'" A copy f its constitution and a statement of its aims,- printed in Dublin, have leen furnished the New York World -by a correspondent. Stated in briefest form the si.vowed objects of the orpaniation are as follows: 1. Full national self-povernment of Ireland. 2. Universal and compulsory sale of the landlord's interest in the land to the tenants. .!. A state-aided system for enabl inp farm lalwirers in the"country and workinpuien in towns and cities to In-come owners of their homes. 4. Restitution to Ireland of the $15,000,000 a year in excess of her just share of imjierial taxation col lected by the llritish povernment for many years past. .. Complete educational equality for the Catholics of Ireland, includ inp the establishment and endowment of a university in whose benefits they can conscientiously participate. f. The repeal of the coercion net ami of the treason-felony act. under which. Mditical- offenses are prose cuted as ordinary crimes. . 7. To secure the election of county councils, which will come topether once a year in a national council and apitate for home ruTe on conditions not less favorable than those offered in Mr. (Jladstone's celebrated bill. . Preference for articles of Irish manufacture in all public contracts. 9. Preservation of the (inelic lan ptiape and the teachinp thereof in all publicly supported schools and col lepes. On their face there seem to le nothinp in these avowed objects of the I.eapue to call for it suppres sion by armed force. The entire program appears to le simply a new movement by the Irish people to se cure no more and no less than was only a few years apo offered to them by n I'ritish prime minister and a proved by a substantial majority of the house of commons. In other words, the Salisbury povernment pro poses in effect to declare that Mr. Gladstone home rule bill was trea son. Strenuous Politics in Indiana. Over in Indiana, where politic is strenuous, they fix thinp n lonp time ahead. The convention to renomin ate Conpressmnn Cromer for next fall' campaign was held last Febru ary and Cromer is now canvassinp for hi renomination in 1004. A few weeks apo, accordinp to an exchange, Cromer -was out in one of the small town in hi district. A man whom he knew but slightly approached him and said: "I want to name the- post master for thi town." 'nut." said Mr. Cromer. "I don't promise uch things. Ilesidea I know little about your ji-olitieal influence. "Oh, thafs all right," replied the man. "I know what ynn mean. . You want me to go out and make. a rec ord. All right. Ill do it. You'll hear from me." Cromer went to Washington and forgot the incident. The other flay he received a letter from the man. saying: "I have just been nominated for the state senate. I that pood enouph to control the postoffice?" ' Inasmuch a Cromer's friend and leader. Senator Fairbanks, come 1h fore the next Indiana legislature for reelection, and state senator 'have vote therein, it may be safelj- as sumed that Cromer" reply to the let ter wa satisfactory to the embryo state uenator. Indeed, it is quite likely that Cromer will let him name a half dozen postmaster if he want to. Republican politician lead a strenuous life in Indiana as well a in Illinois. -' Bnr Art Yo-ar KMacys t Dr. Bobbs-Bpmrmn riUa earoall kltfaerUls. Bam ! Cr. A44. BierUs HcoioUj Co., Chicago or M. T. THE DAILY SHORT STORY. PASSED OUT OF EXISTENCE rOrleinaLl ' I am supposed to be dead. I bate no Intention to publish my existence to the world, for if I should do so I would soon be dead In earnest. Nevertheless I am going to take the j-lsk of telling the story under uu assumed name. . Yeurs ago, when not far out of my teen. I was sent abroad to travel. Full of a desire to explore mysterious paths, I was foolish enough to spy up on a band of what are now called an archists. Having been told bya young German that he suspected tbeni of meeting iu a deserted barn near , his bouse, I went there one" night, peeped through a crack and was discovered, but run so fast that I congratulated myself my Identify had not become known. A few weeks later 1 was "doing" a cathedral In one of the principal cities on the continent. I do not care to name the place. I was irreverently poking my nose Into all the corners and crannies I could find when I was uccosted by a young man, who nsked me If I would like to see a very curious closet. I told him that I would be glad to see anything curious, where upon he invited me to follow him. He led me to a dark corner, where a door not over four feet high stood open. "If you will stoop and enter there," he said, "you will be repaid for your trouble." I did ns I was bid and entered a closet not much too large to hold iny body. Then I beard the door slam arid the lolts in the lock shoot forward. My sensations are not only indescrib able, but. if I could plve any Idea of them whatever, would be extremely painful to the listener. I had not been locked up n miuute before it occurred to me that the band upon whom I had spied had tracked me, discovered who ( was and taken this means of putting me out of the way. There was noth ing lienenth me but a cement floor, nothing about but four stone wall. Therefore I looked up to see what there migat be for a ceiling. Far above I saw what appeared to.be a rectangle of light. I gazed at it a long while, trying to determine what it was. but my miud was not In n state to deliberate on anything, and I made no headway. After awhile I fell Into a sort of stu por, owins doubtless to my terrible mental condition. During this time. I presume. I gained some rest from my sufTerinps. for my consciousness was restored. Since there was nutli-, Ing to see except above, I cast my eyes again upward. The rectangle had doubled in size. Again I fell to thinking as to what It might be. and this time, in order to occupy my mind and thus relieve the mental strain. I gave way to all sort9 of speculation. The cathedral clock struck, and I counted nine strokes. I had been 6hut up ever since 4 In the afternoon. I was thunderstruck, bar ing supposed that I bad not been there an hour. Presently I saw something dangling from above. After watching it for some time I was able to make out that It was a rope. Then I discovered th-nt it was coming toward me. Lower and lower, nearer and nearer. It came till at last I wag able to grasp It. Then I remembered that I had my box of wax tapers for lighting cigars in my pocket, and. striking one of them. I tossed it upward. For an instant I could make out the ceiling. It was of Iron, and in Its center was an iron rinp. from which the rope was swung. Lighting several tapers in succession, I held them above my bead and at last could see the ceil ing as long as a taper would burn. Horror of horrors! " It was comlnp down to crush me! Again, from sheer agony I became unconscious. I was revived by the clock above striking 12. Kvery stroke seemed to toll my knell. The ceiling was now so low that I could touch it with my hand. In half an hour all would be over. Then I heard, far above, a sound ns of the rubbing of metal against metal. I listened and could distinguish the noise of cogwheels running together, and oh, blessed sight! The celling was rising! Then it occurred to me that I was In the clock tower under the weight, which was now being wound. I would not be crushed. I would starve. There was one chance for me. Seizing the rotie. I tied it under my arms. As soon as the 6lack was taken up I be gan to rise ten. twenty, fifty, n hun dred feet. There was more light. I looked above. Between me and the weight were arched windows. Might I not get through one of them on to a roof? I got up n swinging motion and when I reached the window clung to the casement nnd unloosened the rope. Breaking the glass, I looked out. The roof was twenty feet below. I Jumped and landed safely on my feet. In the east was a streak of dawn, but I did not stop to take note of it, going here nnd there till I found a door by which to descend. I found myself'fn the body of the great cathe dral. All the Irreverence of the previ ous day was gone. I fell on iny knees before the altar. Then, exhausted. I Btaggered to one of the cushioned pewg and fell asleep. I I was awakened by the sexton, whom I told that I bad been locked in by mistake. lie opened the door for me. and I went out knowing that If my enemies knew I had escaped them they Would certainly. kill me. I never stop ped till I had reached Australia, where I lived for a time, then shifted to Alas ka. I am now living in one of the forge cities of the United States under en assumed name.
