I wns possessed of the devil, and killed her because I was in love with another woman.' He then started to tell me about the vat and said his wife attempted to make a dy ing statement to him when the dogs began to growl and he put an enil to her. It was then that he switched off to cursing. As I considered the confession a professional one I re spected it until death has now placed him beycuul further human pursuit." THE DEWEY HOME.

Xfnror Jones Sut unlay addressed an open letter to the people 01 Ohio explaining his pom tion as an independent cundidate for governor. The following is the let ter, 111 part: "During the past two months have received hundreds of letters from all classes of people through out the state urging me to become a independent candidate for the office of governor of the state. These let ttrs are not addressed to me because I possess a peculiar fitness fur thi high onice that is not common niuny of my fellow men, but because, as it appears to me, I happen just now to stand in a prominent position advocating principles of human lib erty that are as old as time and us enduring as eternity. "1 believe in all of the people and am, therefore-a mini without a party I believe in the people as people, not as partisan, not as democrat, not us republicans, not as populists or prolu bitiouists, nor union reformers. But as people, as men, as brothers aud Bisters, having common instincts, common interests and common needs, Standing on these declarations, claim no privilege for myself that I am not ready to do my utmost to secure lor u 1 1 others on equal terms, I his is what 1 mean when I decla for equal opportunities for all. "Believing this to be a foundational truth, I, therefore, declare tiiat 1 will never aguin wear the label of unv party or claim political loyally to anything less than nil cf the people In this wuy I shall always be free to vote and act for principles, whatever party name I bear on the one hand or independent of all parties if need lie, on the other side, und the whole people shall always have the first claim (on my service and. affection rather than A fragment of them named a political party. "There are many indications that the present is the time for an indc pendent political campaign of educa tion in Ohio. On June 10 the repub lican convention met in Columbus and named a ticket. On the same day u convention of workiiigincn. representing an parts ot Ulno, was held in Columbus. These working mim formulated a platform, setting lonn me renci tney nope lor aud demand through political action, Kvery demand of their platform is strictly 111 tne line of progress und 110 candidate for office who does not believe in the principles therein set forth should lay any claim to the nles of the workiiigincn of Ohio. the republican convention ignored the demands of the convention of woikinginen, ignored even their pre.-: enee in the city. "Not long after the democratic state committee met to arrange the day of the state convention and its action wus worse, if possile, than that of the republicans, liealiing that mere was a strong sentiment in t In state for independent political iiction they Sit the dnte for the convention so late thut it would be impossible to get an independent ticket into the held after the democratic convention. In view of this situation 1 an nounce that for the purpose of test ing the quality and extent .of the sentiment for fan independent can didate, I invite those who feel that such u move should be made to write to me for blank petitions of correct legal form upoji, which to secure sig natures, petitioning the secretary of suite 10 piuce tne nume upon the ticket. By careful study of the re sponses to this letter we shall be ulile to decide whether the sen- iment is sutticiently pronounced 10 warrant so strong an un dertaking. If the decision shall b affirmative, I will enter upon th duties of the campaign in the inter ests of a larger humanity, wholly in different to the consequences to me personally. ENDED ITS LABORS.

Baron De Staal delivered the fare well ndress, thanking the representa tives of foreign stutes.

The great principles of the sovif cignty of indi vidual states and international soli darity apparently so opposing, had been reconciled by what they had ac complished. He ullirmed that in time to come institutions which hud theii origin in the need of concord would be the dominating influence and thai thus the work of the conference was truly meritorious Minister Fstoiirnells and Mr. Beau fort followed, the latter saying thut if the conference had not realized Utopian dreams, nevertheless it had disapproved pessimistic forebodings, and the moral effect would more nnd more inllueiiee public opinion and uiri governments to solve the question ol the limitation of urmuments of u' count l ies.

One of the most gratifying things In the reformation of I'orto I!ico is the quickness witlt which the natives have caught the American spirit of clennli ness. Not only are many of them i ti ti tilting the examples placed before them or following directions of the authorities, but they are quick in re porting delinquencies in their neigh bois. Apparently a. feeling has got abroad that it is quite the proper thing to maintain persona! nnd do mestic cleanliness. Commenting on this a recent correspondent of a P.os- ton medical papers savs that the sci entitle sanitation of the island is not likely to be a. dillicult task. The death rate there, even at its worst, is much lower than In Cuba, nnd, with the happy tendency of the people to adopt the new order of things, there is no reason to believe that this rate will not speedily be reduced. The corres pondent calls attention to the willing ness with winch the natives have tak en to vaccination.
