CHASE GETS AWAY.
Young Millionaire Escapes From a
Paris Asylum.
New York, Oct. 13. A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris says:
Closes Fowler Chase, the younr million
aire of Lafayette. Ind., has disappeared
from the private insane asylum near
3'aris where he had been placed recent
ly by his aunt, Mrs. Duhme, of Cincin
nati. The family dispute over the
young man's sanity has rearisen and will
(jrobably go to the courts.
Detective Sutherland, of Chicago, has
arrived in Paris. He was sent by the
'hase family in Lafayette. The detect
ive found the boy in a private asylum at
No. 145 Rue de Versailles, Bologne Sur
fceine. While taking proper steps to re
move the boy the latter suddenly disap
peared. The keepers of the asylum said Chase
fiad gone, but they did not know where.
:No trace of him has been found, and
there are diverse theories as to his dis
appearance. Whether he has wandered
ojT himself or been spirited away can
only be conjectured. The Duhmea are
now in America. Their side of the case

SHOWS FATIGUE.
Campaigning is Wearing on Sir. Stev
enson. Baltimore, Oct 13 Adlai E. Stevenson,
the Democratic candidate for the vice
presidency, reached this, city shortly af
ter 9 o'clock this morning over the
Western Maryland and left fifteen min
utes later for Wilmington, Del., where
he Is booked to speak this afternoon. The
trip from Hagerstown wasmadein a spe
cial train which left there at 6:20 o'clock.
It came through without a stop, owing
to the Imperative nature of Mr. Steven
Bon'3 engagements in Delaware, hence
there were no speeches or demonstra
tions en route. Neither was there any
demonstration at union station, in this
city, Mr. Stevenson practically stepping
from one train to another without any
one knowing except those who accom
panied him, of his presence. He shows
Borne signs of fatigue but on the whole
is bearing the strain of active campaign
ing remarkably well. He expresses ab
solute confidence In Democratic success
in Maryland and declined to say any
thing concerning former President Cleve
land's latest declaration on the currency
question.
ATHLETE'S FAILURE.
Was Not a Success Until He Was
Pot on the Right Food.
Cecelius X. Hale, of 1717 Barclay St.,
Baltimore, lid., now quite a famous run
Tier, has had some interesting experience
in regard to proper feeding. His testi
mony is worth the attention of any
athlete, or in fact, of any person who
cares for good, sturdy, powerful health.
"L'p to about 18 months ago I had
been in many athletic contests, without
much success. I about made up my
mind it was time to stop, but a physical
director of the Y. M. C. A. of this city
advised me to use Grape-Nuts food and
IPostum Cereal Coffee as principal fact
ors in my diet.
"I accepted the advice and today am
in possession of perfect health, and a
great many medals won in different ath
letic events. I can now run a race and
finish in fine condition, whereas before I
6tarted on the right diet, I would find
myself in a faint at the end of a race.
"Formerly I had more or less nervous
trouble and severe headaches. I am
glad to say since using Grape-Nuta and
Postum Food Coffee I have forgotten
what a heaaache feels like. My heart is
in perfect condition, whereas while I
was using ordinary coffee it would not
stand the heavy strain. This statement
is absolutely true, and I do not object
to your publishing it. for it may brine
back health and strength to some poor
being suffering from ill health, caused
by the use of improper food."
There is a reason for this; in the first
place, ordinary coffee will shows its
effects somewhere in the nervous svs
tem frequently in weakening of the
heart or in stomach troubles, which pre
vents one from obtaining the strength
and value of food. It is therefore nec
essary to quit the use of this drug, and
in its place use Postum Cereal Food
Coffee and Grape-Xuts food.
They were both invented by a food
expert and are made at the famous pure
food factories of the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd., at Battle Creek. Mich. This food
and the food drink are both made for a
definite purpose, and there are thou
sands of users throughout the world
that can testify, from practical experi
ence, that the theory is borne out by the
frkcta.

GOLD WON'T STAY.
Bank of England Has a Hard Time to
Keep Its Reserve.
London, Oct. 13. The abundance of
money has not lessened and borrowers
are able to obtain funds at practically
their own terms. Discounts are firm.
The announcement of a further ship
ment of half a million in gold today
from India was counteracted by Ameri
can inquiries. Business transactions
were small, operators being chary of
taking bills at any price in the present
uncertain condition of the nflferket.
Though business on the stock ex
change was not improved today there
was generally a more hopeful view pre
vailing. Consols hardened and the war
loan was steady at discount.
The Statist says:
"An early advance in the bank rate
seems unavoidable. The supply of mon
ey is still superabundant, day by day
loans being made as low as 1 per cent
while the general rate is only 1V4 per
cent. This abundance is regrettable
With the rate of American exchange
falling to the gold point the Bank of
England has already been obliged to sell
300,000 in the United States and more
is expected to go. The bank's reserve
has been reduced to 21.000,000 and the
crucial question is how high must mon
ey be raised in London to stop the
threatened outflow of gold to the United
States and Germany and maintain the
Bank of England's reserve on a safe
level."
The theme of all commentators is the
probable loss of more gold New York

William Ziegler Will Fit Out an Ex
pedition. New York, Oct. 13. William Ziegler,
a wealthy citizen of New York, an
nounced today that he would purchase
two vessels, fully equip and man ttyem,
and send them in quest of the north pole
during the summer of 1901.
The expedition is to be in charge of
Evelyn B. Baldwin, who was a compan
ion of Lieutenant Peary in his attempts
to reach the pole in 1893 and 1894, and
also a member of Walter Wellman's ex
pedition. It is Mr. Zeigler's intention to have
one vessel remain in the Arctic region
while the other returns for supplies. The
expedition it is said will not be dis
patched for the north earlier than the
summer of 1901, and all the time between
this date and that will be necessary for
the preparation and outfit. Ships may
be purchased, though vessels specially
adapted for the work may be built.

Lloyd Tevis' Brother Dead.
Oakland, Cal., Oct. 13. Joshua Tevis,
a brother of the late Lloyd Tevis, is
dead in this city. He was a native of
Kentucky and took a prominent part in
the politics of that state. He was dis
trict attorney of oLuisville for" several
terms. In 1864 he came to California
and engaged in the practice of law.

Annual Session of Friends Church
Lawrence, Kas., Oct 13. The twenty

ran as Expected.
John P. Irish, the noted California
orator who has been stumping the coun
try under the auspices of the national
Gold Democratic committee, spoke at
the Auditorium last evening to a crowd
that tested the capacity of the Auditor
ium. Every seat in the building was oc
cupied and the aisles were crowded. The
immense crowd which was attracted to
the street by the pyrotechnic display
could not by any means find places in
the hall and many were turned away.
The audience was sympathetic and
liberal with its applause. Mr. Irish has
the faculty of being an interesting talker,
a good story teller and is able to hold
his audience.
Jackson's band was stationed on the
stage and first played the "Stars and
Stripes" which was followed by "Ameri
ca" and other selections. As at the
Cockran meeting a large number left
the hall.
About 8:30, Mr. Irish, escorted by Mr.
W. H. Rossington, Eugene Hagan and
Frank L. Peacock, who has accom
panied Mr1. Irish on his Kansas trip,
walked on the stage.
Later in the evening Frank Grimes,
accompanied by J. R. Burton, entered
the Auditorium and found seats, on the
stage.
While in Topeka Mi. Irish was the
guest of Eugene Hagan.
The committee having the matter in
charge advertised the meeting as one in
which Mr. Cockran, who spoke in the
Auditorium last Saturday, would be an
swered, but those who expected to hear
an answer were disappointed.
Mr. Irish only mentioned Mr. Cockran
in one connection. He said:
"I see Mr. Bryan is much agitated
over a new doctrine of imperialism he
has discovered. His apostle, Bourke
Cockrah, said the flag must be hauled
down in the Philippines because it was
JOHN P. IRISH.
raised by unholy hands. In 1898 Senator
Morgan, one of Mr. Bryan's most earn
est supporters said: 'The flag of the
United States has been raised in the
Philippines. It must never be hauled
down. The hand of God planted it
there.' I will let Mr. Cockran and Sen
ator Morgan fight it out among them
selves as to what kind of hand raised the
flag."
The address was devoted to proving
the value of the gold standard and the
importance of sustaining it.
Col. W. H. Rossington, the chairman
of the meeting, introduced the speaker
of the evening in the following language:
"Fellow citizens of Topeka, ladies and
gentlemen, four years ago at the conven
tion held by the delegates of the Demo
cratic party at Chicago the honor bright
Democrats felt that the security of the
country was assailed by the adoption of
the Chicago platform and the nomina
tion of a candidate opposed to all the old
honorable traditions of the good old
Democratic party. I take pleasure in in
troducing to you Col. John P. Irish."
Mr. Irish arose and was met with
cheers which continued for some min
utes. Not alt the members of the march
ing clubs had entered the balcony and
Mr. Irish said that he would wait until
all were seated and that he would ap
preciate the favor if the room could be
kept as quiet as possible as he was worn
and tired. With this he asked the band
to occupy the intervening time. Mr. Irish
began his address by saying: "Mr.
President, ladies and gentlemen, the peo
ple of this republic have again on hand
the serious business of electing a presi
dent and determining the policy of the
nation for the coming four years.
"The election of a president and the
determination of the policy of the re
public should always be a serious busi
ness. It seems that this was realized
four years ago and that it is given more
thought now than ever before. It Is
made a serious business now because of
the candidacy of Mr. Bryan who four
years ago and now made an assault on
our government and the welfare and
happiness of all our people. This year
the same as four years ago we are con
fronted with the same leader, who is
advocating every policy that is per
nicious and who is adding others that
are equally as vicious.
"Therefore we the honor bright
Democracy of the United States stand
as we did four years ago, opposed to
all Bryanisms.
"It is the object and aim of Mr. Bryan
to destroy the gold standard and es
tablish his free silver 16 to 1 idea- Mr.
Bryan further made the promise when
he accepted the Populist nomination in
this city that if elected he would en
deavor to give the greenback the power
of currency.
"Mr. Bryan favors legislation to abol
ish the representative institution. When
it was presented to the Populists for the
first t'me they fought shy of the schema
and would not place it in their platform,
but as soon as it was presented to the
Bryan aggregation at Kansas City they
jumped at it from the first offer. The
scheme to take the legislation out of the
hands of the representatives and place
it in the ballot box is in direct conflict
with the ideas of our forefathers who
were signers of the constitution.
"Mr. Bryan stands pledeed and re
pledged to destroy the gold standard.

Why should he destroy the gold stand
ard? He said four years ago that if he
was not elected the schools would close:
that prices would fall as surely as a
stone thrown into the air would fall:
that more factories would close, more
men be idle and of course as a result
there would be more crime; and that the
time would come when the laboring
classes would become so poverty strick
en as to be too poor to buy shoes and
likewise clothing. All these statements
were made by the inexperienced gentle
man from Nebraska four years ago
when he asserted that unless elected all
these things enumerated and more
would come to pass.
"We the honor bright Democrats in
our convention declared for the gold
standard and believe that the gold
standard should beintrenched in the law
of the republic. During the last session
of the congress the gold standard was
affirmed by law and is now in operation.
Every position taken by the unexperi
enced politician from Nebraska in oppo
sition to the gold standard is false. Un
der the gold standard law In the United
States the public debt is refunded in
government bonds with interest at 2
per cent. And these same bonds are to
day at a premium of 5 per cent.
"Never before since history began has
any empire principality or power that
ever lived on this globe enjoyed a credit
so high. Why should our foundation be
destroyed? Can any one look me level
in the eye and say that they propose to
vote for this fell destroyer?
"As long as the gold standard is
maintained the two partners labor and
capital will go hand in hand holding the
market.
"The gold standard law has trans
formed this nation from a debtor nation
to a creditor nation. The empire of Ger
many comes to this country to sell her
bonds. Norway and Sweden want to
do likewise and Russia says that she
thinks she will place the sale of her next
issue of bonds in this country. Now
England comes out with the announce
ment that she would like to borrow on
her 3 per cent consols.
"For years London has been the clear
ing house of the world. When the bill of
lading followed the cargo out on its
journey it would start from London.and
the draft would be made on a London
clearing house. Now under the gold
standard we are not only the creditor
nation but we have transferred the
clearing house of the world from Lon
don to New York city. The bill of lad
ing does not now follow the cargo from
London and the draft be made on Lon
don, but on the other hand the draft is
being made on New York city.
"Bryan stands pledged to do away
with all this. I won't say that a man
with those intents is a traitor but I will
say he has a very poor idea of what is
for the welfare of a country's people.
The man who when he goes to the ballot
box on November 6 and smites the up
holder of these principles by voting
against him will have done his duty as
well as the man in blue who faced the
powder in battling for his country's
honor.
"Not long ago Mr. Bryan with others
sat in a balcony in New York city and
watched the procession of one of the
largest and most intellectual bodies of
workingmen e,ver massed together in
parade before. After passing the re
viewing stand they went to the park,
where later Mr. Bryan addressed the
army of constantly employed, well
dressed and well fed men. He told them
that there was a conspiracy of the rich
to keep them under foot, and among
other things he told the men that they
paid too much for their bread.
"A few days later he was over in In
diana talking to the farmers and he told
them how they were the victims of a
conspiracy; that they were downtrodden
and that they should rise and cast
something oft, and get a better price for
their wheat. Now, how can a farmer
get a higher price for his wheat if the
consumers of bread do not have to pay
a higher bpt lower price for it? Tell me
that kind of a man is fit to be a presi
dent? No.
"And again a few days later in St.
Louis he was talking to the mothers and
fathers about the avenues left- open for
the young ones. He talked to them
about their being downtrodden and op
pressed, and urged them to rise and
shake something off. He said there was
now nothing for their young ones to do;
that there was no path or profession
left open to them; that every door was
nailed. And he went on in this strain,
almost making his hearers thing it would
be a blessing if they would go home and
strangle their young ones.
"Not long ago the president of a col
lege, one of the largest in the United
States, told me that the demand for
great minds was much greater than the
supply; that never before had the trained
mind, the product of the American

school, been In such demand. Only the
other day while I was in Lawrence I
visited the state university. The young
man who guided me around through the
buildings told me that he worked and
earned the means with which he car
ried himself through school. And the
president, with whom I was talking later
about this young man, told me that
over 40 per cent, of the students went
through the school in the same way.
Yet Mr. Bryan makes the assertion
that there is no avenue left open for
the young. JJe reminds me of a fool in
his pessimism.
"In Kansas City he talked to the men
who worked in the packing houses, and
told them that it was an insult to talk
to them of a full dinner pail. He as
sured them that what they wanted was
leisure time for intellectual develop
ment. In 1S96 they had plenty time for
their development of the mind. They
wore not kept from it by a dullness
caused by a dinner pail too full."
Mr. Irish closed his rneetinsr after
speaking about one hour and forty min
utes, by saying: "When the polls close
after this election I expect to see by
the world's prreatest jury the condemna
tion of Mr. Bryan and ail the pernicious
isms which he stands for." This was
met with prolonged cheers, after which
Mr. Irish proposed three cheers for "the
gold standard, the full dinner pail and
the gold dollar that fills it." They were
given with a will.
'Nothing is imposssible," said the law
yer, grandly. "No," remarked his cli
ent; "I suppose anything is feasible
where there's a fee."
