To Itetlre Frtnu Business.
Mr. Seattle nlso announced yester?
day thut he had definitely decided to
retire from active business, another
company having acquired bis depart?
ment store in South Richmond. While
lie will bo Interested In a financial I
way, he will not undertako to shoul?
der tho entire responsibility of man?
agement, us he has for me past forty
yiars. For the past eight years Henry
L'iay Beattie, Jr., had divided this re
sponslbility, having been tho virtual
manager In two departments at least,
and had given strict attention und line
business capacity to the entire estab?
lishment- Concerning tho business
change, Mr. Beattie made the follow?
ing announcement:
"Having had It In mind for some
time to retire from active business,
there has been formed what will be
known as Cue Hutzler Dry Goods Com?
pany, in which 1 will be Interested as
a stockholder. To this now company I
have turned over my entire stock of
merchandise. In what Is known ob the
Beattie Block, and the business of my
successors will bo conducted at the
same place and ulong the same gen- j
oral lines. That the frlonus and cub- |
totners who have given me their gen?
erous patronage in tho past will con- :
tlnue wilu the new concern Is my!
carneai wish, as I am still Intereated, !
and will be on hand as formerly to :
help conduct the new enterprise, which j
will accord to you the same treatment .
and attention which I have done my ;
best 10 give, during my nearly forty ,
years' business In your community. >
In order that an inventory of stock ?
can be taken, the store will be closed
on Monday and probably the lirst hull
of the week."
Goes Oltca to See Henry,
'.'ariy yesterday afternoon Mr. Scat
tie went to tho City Jail and spent;
i-i me time with his son. The prisoner's I
meals are sent daily from the Beattie .
home in the fcouthslde. While Beattie
naturally realizes his position, he has
consistently made it a point to be vs
cheerful as he can while his father is
With him. There has been a etreng !
Vfnid between the- two slnto Henry .
was an infant. Knowing, therefore.;
; how the old father believes In his ln
; nocence, the prisoner's trlends are
convinced that even If guilty he will
never confess. Henry's soie aim now.
! it is said. Is to show how deeply
grateful he Is to the old father, who
has never questioned his Innocence,
? and who has stood gamely by his
. tide while the world passed Judgment.
SHOWS ORIGIN OF HEART BEAT
Professor Keith Gives Demonstration
of "Peacemaker*' Tissue.
London, October 15.?Professor Ar?
thur Keith has been giving at the
Royal College of Surgeons demonstra?
tions Illustrating the remarkable ad?
vance--, maii\ lately In knowledge of
the functions and structure of the
heart and the action of Its diseases.
Ono *f the most remarkable of the
demonstrations Is that of a, small mass
of tissue, which h%s been named the
"peacemaker of the heart," because it
Is apparently witihln this small mass
of peculiar tissue that the beat of the
heart has Its origin. It only was five
years ago that the structure was ilrst
recognized by Professor Keith and Dr.
Martin Flack.
"T)r. Thomas Lewis, of University Col?
lege, using the latest methods of elec?
trical Investigation, found also that
the site of the new structure was the
point at which the heart bent appears.
Although it Is the chief centre for the
activity and regulation of the heart,
there are apparently many secondary
centres which can take over the Ini?
tiation of the heart beat, when the
t-hlcf one Is destroyed by disease or
experiment.

Governor Tells Big Audiences
Why Feeling of Unrest
Exists.
PUBLIC DIDN'T COUNT
Small Groups of Men "Arranged
Things" to Their Liking
Despite Opinion.
Morrlstown, N. J., October 15.?Gov?
ernor Wilson received a rousing wel?
come from the voters; of Morris coun?
ty yesterday. He spoke at Dover,
?Jorristown and Madison, and at each j
of these places the halla were so
crowded that many were unablo to
guln admission.
Speaking of business at the meet- j
lng- hero the Governor said: "I would
like this audience very carefully to j
consider what it Is that has disturb- i
ed our politics and disturbed our bus- j
Iness in recent years. Has it not been
the feeling that things were boing I
done that woro not being done in the j
open. Has it not been the feeling that
no matter what the movement of pub- j
He opinion was, that no matter what
tho natural movement of commerce |
and manufacturing was, sonio small
body of men somewhere were going
to arrange the thing without consult- j
ing the rest of tho community?"
Tho Governor urged the voters to j
register and vote. ?'Now 'I am in?
formed, if I may say so parenthetical- j
ly, that there has been very light
registration In this and nearby court- ,
ties. Being flesh and blood persons
don't you want U> vote? Tou cannot
vote unless you register. Are- you In?
different? Don't you care how affairs i
go In New Jersey? Don't you want to
have a voice In them. Nobody else ;
can register for you; you must go and
register for yourself. Do you object !
to registering? It will take n little
trouble; you have to be at tho polls |
In order to register, but do you ob- |
Jcct to being looked at and Identified
Do you object to putting yourself at a
little inconvenience to be there be?
tween the right hours? The hours aro |
made ho that It may be convenient
for anybody who .vunts to register."
It was up lo the voters, he said, to
either approve or disapprove his ud- !
ministration, and he was extremely j
anxious as to whta they do.
So More Mnkc-Ucllcve.
"I smile when I hear people tulk
about 'rudtcal policies," " said the Gov?
ernor, "the policies of ln^t winter were
not radical. Is It radical to see to It
that when voting Is done, it Is dono by
real flesh and blood? Is It rad'cal
thut for every man registered there
is a genuine voter who lives In that
precinct and who is not masquerading
under a fictitious name? Is it radical
to see to It that tho use of money
is, as much us possible, taken out of
politics and that money cannot buy
voters?
"I want to remind you that it got
to be so notorlus that men would tell
you the result of election wUh a shrug

QUEEN HELENA DESIRED POST
War Correspondents Held on
Board Warships While Bom?
bardment Was Going On.
Chlasso. Switzerland, October 15.?
Kews of the determination 'of tho
Duchbss of Aosta to go to tho theatro
of war at the head of the trained
nurses caused considerable surprise,
j lit being generally supposed tltat her
? health wan too feeble for such un
. urduous enterprise As tho duchess
takes her position seriously she will
work hard and also make her btaft do
so. The duko was much opposed to
her undertaking so fatiguing a task,
but she gained his consent by pointing
out that the winter Is coming on, thut
she will soon be ,obliged to go to
Africa, anyway, for her health, and
that It will be better to have a healthy
occupation; and, "anyway, bIio Intend?
ed to do it." Naturally that closed
tho argument
Tho duchess at the support and en?
couragement of tho Duke of the Abruz
zi, who, being most energetic and pa?
triotic himself, says without' hesita?
tion that he thinks women should be
accorded their part, especially those
who ure anxious for it.
The duchess Is much embarrassed in
making a choice of the women who
will accompany her. but it Is slyl>
whlsperod that she well knows whom
to reject, after certain experiences of
the Queen at' Mcsaina.
Queen Helena is most envious, as
she herseir would have gone had the
King not forbidden her to do so. How?
ever, sho has been an Invaluable ttd
vlaer to tho duchess, as she had n
magnificent experience in Messina.

when the time came to land tho cap?

MADERO ELECTED
HEAD OF REPUBLIC
- I
Leader of Successful Revolution
Succeeds to Seat of Former
President Diez.
Mexico City, Mexico, October l?.?
Lacking only the ceremonies of the
inauguration, Francisco 1. Madero ;s
president of the republic of Mexico.
By a vote of the electoral college,
which was practically unanimous, he
wns otllciuliy nominated to-day.
Joso Pino Suaras, without doubt,
will be tho Vice-President, If not nl
reudy such. Even If he has fnllc-d to
get a majority there is now no rea?
sonable, doubt that the Chamber of
Deputies will nnme him as Madero's
lieutenant over Francisco de lu Harra,
who obtained second place In the vote,
of the electoral college.
Francisco Vasquez Gomez was hope?
lessly distanced. To-night, accom?
panied by his wife, Madero left for a
tour through the northern purt of the
republic, which will terminate at San
Pedro de lus Colonias. a little town
in Coahulla, where he was born thirty
eight years ago.
A few scattering votes, perhaps 100,
were cast for other cnndldutes for tho
presidency, among them Porflrlo Diaz,
to whom some admirer In Coyocan
gave one .sote.
Kmlllo Vas?iuez Gomez, nominated
for the presidency by a disaffected
group of the antire-electlonists, was
remembered by an elector here, nnd
there.
It was impossible to-night to say
how large the vote has been. Under
tho electoral law of division there
should bo 30.000 members'of tho elec
toral college. It Is probable that at
tho goneral elections on October 1,
morn than 25,000 were named, but re?
ports to-nlght Indicate, that a number
of these did not qualify and that still
others wero thrown out because of
improper credentials,
Tho F?deral district gave Pino
Suurez, 001; Do la Harra, 202, nnd
Vuuauoi Gomez, 10. Thin la cp;>roxl
mately tho proportion received by the
Candida tos in a majority of the statu
capitals which reported to-night.
Pino Suares himself Is in Merlda, the
capital of Yucatan, where he was re?
cently elected governor. He telo
graphed to Model o claiming to havo
won a majority In that stato, In

of Quintana Roo.
It is not-Impossible that when the
report is all In Pino Suarez's lead may
be greatly reduced. There appears to
bo no doubt that Pino Suarez will
retain a plurality, but ho may not get
the necessary Cl per cent.

Harra, provisional President, and can?

ticket of tho Catholic party, wob por
haps more delighted over his defeat

CHILD IS CHOSEN
QUEEN OF BEAUTY
.Palmira Ceccani, of Humble
Birth, Showered With Regal
Attentions.
Rome, October 10.?Among the many
ways In which Rome has olectcd to
celebrate her jubilee festivities, one
Unat of choosing among those born In
the Eternal City a queen of beauty,
who s-hull reign for the whole year,
and who. In addition to a jeweled cor?
onet, presented by The. Messngcro
newspaper, Is to receive a dower whei
she marries, and has in uddltlon ob?
tained a trousseau from varlouti dress,
makers.
Elections were held in the eighteen
"rlonfu" or quarters Into which Rome
was divided In tho Middle Agcr, a
queen was selected in each ono of
ehem. while tho two girls who had the
next largeet number of votes were
appointed her princesses In waiting.
They were all entertained In the
theatres and restaurants of Rome, and
finally In the Or eat Hall of the Piazza
d'Arml, an election which lasted for
two or three days, look place, In which
the public, after gazing on the quecna
and tcicir attendants who appeared on
the platform, were permitted to record
their vote as to which was best fitted
to represent the beauty of Rome.
The one who recolvcd some thous?
and more vote* than any one else was
Palmira Ceccani. the representative of
the ancient quarter of Trastcvcro,
I "beyond the river," where. If anywhere,
! arc to be found the llnenl descendants
of the Inhabitants of old Rome, nnd
whose women arc ttlll celebrated tor
their classic features, their Juno-like
forms and their fine bearing. , j
Palmira, who is tho daughter ol
humble pnrents. is an excellent example
j of the type, with great, durk, expres
' slve eyes, regular features and an ulr
of L-t.itely womanliness that makes It
nlmost Impossible to believe thut she
. is only Sixteen years old. She wus ut
tended, In addition to hor women, by
cavaliers, trumpete.u and other ofll
clals of her court, in exact copies of
medieval Roman dress, and u Senator
of Rome placed the dladcin upon her
head. She took all her honors very]
? simply and prettily, but the home life
of the girl may Beem dull after ull this
attention.

great pleasure to my family
and friends. The tone is rich
and resonant, and the action
very responsive. The mechan?

especially the transposing de?

to put in different keys the
song, if same is either too high
or low."
