Increased Attendance and More
Enthusiasm at the 'Frisco
Convention.
Keen Contest Among Rival Cities
for Honor of Entertaining
Next Meeting.
Minneapolis Thought to Be the
Favorite of Deiegates--To*
day's Program.
San Francisco, July 19.—The second
May of the International convention of
the Epworth League was marked by
cool, pleasant weather and an increased
attendance, particularly of local resi
dents. The biggest attraction WHS, of
course, the services at .Mechanics' Pa
villion with its long list of prominent
speakers, good music by a large choir
and the great pipe organ, with the addi
tional attractions of elaborate display
of California products. However, the
Alhambra theater and Metropolitan
temple meetings were attended by as
jnany delegates and residents a.s could
find accommodation and the enthusiasm
was Just as great as in the bigger build
ing. The program at each of the three
meetings was a most notable and inter
esting one. The visitors were astir
early this morning and thousands at
tended the sunrise prayer meetings, held
at Grace Central and First Methodist
Episcopal churches. The interi-si and
enthusiasm of Epworths seems to grow
as the convention progresses and many
declared the present gathering to be the
greatest in point of attendance and en
thusiasm the order ever heid.
Competition erf the cities for the honor
of entertaining the next convention or
the league is growing keen. St. Louis,
Minneapolis and Toronto are In the
field, with chances somewhat in favor
of Minneapolis. -Milwaukee has dropped
out of the contest and Wisconsin dele
gates will throw their votes to Minnea
polis. The decisions rests entirely with
the committee on resolutions, which
meets today or tomorrow for the pur
pose of selecting some one of the cities
mentioned. Following is the official pro

ELLI8 GLENN CASE.
Twin Brother M»y Be Aooused of Forg
ery.
Parkersburgr "VV. Va„ July 19.—
Thursday was the tenth day of the
trial of Ellis Glenn, who uttered forged
notes, and It marked the completion of
the examination of the state's wit
nesses.. The prosecution rested Its
case at noon. The defense presented
evidence to prove true the prisoner's
claim that a twin brother is the real
offender. It Is understood if she Is
acquitted she will be arrested charged
•with ulding a criminal to escape.
On the question of scars on the head
and hand, whlcb the Illinois witnesses
testified so minutely about as being
possessed by the prisoner, Miss Agnes
Riley, a lawyer's stenographer, and
Charles Brooks Smith were examined
today. Both stated that they had ex
,ASr. amined the head and hands of Ellis
j&pjj&SSSOIenn carefully, and that she had no
signs of scars on either her head or
hands. Especially were they positive
"that the woman had no euch conspic
uous and large-sized soars as several
witnesses for" the" state had stated pos
aitlvely th&fshe did have.
John P. Laird, m-prosecutlng at-
.•* .4 ..
torney, testified to the same effect.
O. D. Kraft and Warren Morehead
testified that Ellis Glenn limped when
she was brought to this city from Il
linois, and that they had time and
again observed that she was lame, or
had some affliction of the left leg.
Judge J. G. Meduer and Charles D.
Forrer, ex-city attorney, stated that in
1X97 they transacted business for Bert
(jlenn. and they stated positively that
the woman, Ellis Glenn, was not the
Bert Glenn they knew and who was
connected with the Hoover deed of
trust and note that are up as evidence
of the forgery charge.
Many hold this evidence proves the
woman's story true—that she changed
1
daces with a twin brother while en
route from Hillsborro, to the state pris
on at Chester, 111., as she has all along
maintained.
It is rumored tonight that Deputy
Sheriff Jayties of Hillsboro, who is still
here, has a warrant for Ellis Glenn,
charging her with aiding ami abetting
Bert Glenn to escape from prison, aad
that he will arrest her if she is ac
quitted.

London. July 19.—The Pall Mall Ga

from its Paris correspondent, giving cir
cumstantial details of an alleged con
spiracy to overthrow the French repub
lic and install Prince Louis Napoleon as

posed to the present regime. The nuine

GOMEZ'S GRANDSON SUICIDES.
Too Poor to Wed His Sweetheart He
Shoots Himself.
Buffalo, N. V.. July 19.—Too poor to
weti the giri the loved and refused a
ioan of the sum necessary for tin- mar
riage. Arnesto Z, (iomtrz. who claimed to
bf a grandson of Genera! Maximo Go
m»z. killed himself in tilt- midway of the
Pan-American exposition last night. Be
fore committing suicide Gomez attemp
ted to kill H. K. McGarvic. owner of
the "Sliv-ts of Mexico" show, bui the
buiiet failed- of its mark.
The tragedy was enacted in the pres
ence of the young woman Gomez hoped
to marry ar.d hundreds of spectators,
who at first believed the affair tt part of
the performance.
Gomez, who uas 24 years old and
whose story that he wa-s a descendant .if
the Cuban leader was accepted general
ly as true, had been in Buffalo four
Wfks, was out of work, and was in love
with a Mexican girl employed in one of
the booths. Last night he called on
Laredo, the leader .if the orchestra, and
demanded that the muscian loan him
II0U so he could take the giri away and
marry her. Laredo refused and took
from Gomez a revolver, which he had
threatened to use if he did not get the
money. Laredo went to his place in
the band stand, leaving Gomez in hU
room, which is about thirty feet from
the main entrance of the show.
Meanwhile word was sent to Conces
sionaire McGarviv that Gomez was
drinking and threatened to kill some
one. McGarvit called Guard Corriston
and they went to Laredo's room to dis
arm Gomez. The man v.as aware of
their coming, and when they were with
ing ten feet of the place, he threw th(
door open and stepped irtu the ligiu,
•drawing a revolver as he did so.
At the flash of the pistol McGarvit
jumped behind a pillar and the guard
did the same. The people stopped to see
this bit of novel entertainment, not
dreaming it was to be a tragedy.
Gomez fired at McGarvie. but the bul
let struck the plaster wall. Instantly
Gomez turned the revolver upon him
self and sent a bullet thru his heart,
lie dropped dead in the street, in sight
of the crowd.
In the excitement the girl with whom
Gomez was in love fainted and so did
several other Mexican women. Gomez's
sweetheart was taken to the hospital,
where she is suffering from hysteria.
The man's body wa« carried into La
redo's room and the people saw the hull
light as usual.
Gomez's home was In the City of Mex

No Meeting Has Been Asked, But
Strikers Are Willing—The
Mine Strike.
New York, July 19.—J. P. Morgan gave
a positive denial of the rumor this morn
ing that the steel strike if. settled. He
made this» statement to the Associated
Press: "There is not a word of truth
in it. There has been no settlement, and
can be no compromise on such a ques»
tion. The position of the operating com
panies is perfectly simple and well nu
deivtood, and .«*o far as am concerned
has my unqualified approval."
Pittsburg, Pa., July 19.—While Wells

M. .Schwab or J. P. Morgan since
atlon was a sufficient answer to this
fiuestion. It may be seen by this that
the strike leader expects a hard fight
and he thinks the manufacturers will
make an effort to run their mills with
non-union men before they ask for a
conference.
The Leader says a rumor is busy to
day that efforts are being made ir.
New York to call another conference
between the manufacturers and work
ers. It Is said John Jarrett and Labor
Secretary of the Ohio Board Bishop, are
in New York in the interests of peace.
At the Amalgamated Association of
fices here no Information on this point
could be obtained, altho several offi
cials smilingly said there would be
many surprises for the public before
the termination of the strike. One
official stated he had been Informed
Jarrel was in New York to procure
non-union men for the sheet plants,
but he placed no credence in the ru
mor. The visit of Bishop to New York
is, however, significant as It is known
he has President Shaffer's authority
to make arrangements for a confer
ence if one can be arranged that will
give promise of a settlement of the
strike.

by the Erie railroad, a.s well as the
Glenwood mines at the same place, the
Brisban mines, of the Lackawanna
company in Scran ton and the Old Forge
colliery of the Pennsylvania Company
at Moosic, controlled by the Erie com
pany. The striking firemen went back
to the Erie mines, while at the other
works the men to return were the fire
men affiliated with the United Mine
Workers.
The situation caused by those condi
tions intensifies the hostility that is
showing itself among these men as to
which element shall control. How the
United Mine Workers will deal with this
question can only be answered by the
decision of the conference at Ha/.leton
this afternoon between the executive of
ficers of district 1, 7 and 9 of the organi
zation.
SHOP MEN ON STRIKE.

Reading, Pa., July 19.—The strikers at
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway
company shops here added to their ranks
in an unexpected manner today. Last
night the company brought in thirty
two strangers to help man the boiler
making and blacksmlthing depart
ments of the locomotive shops, where
250 mechanics of those two classes have
been on a strike for three weeks. The
recruits, mostly foreigners, were put to
work today. A committee was sent by
the strikers to the company's office to
have the strangers taken out. This de

Mason City. July 11',- H. E. Kr.ir.eiseo,
the youngest civil war veteran In Iowa,
has just rv turned from a visit with his
mother. years old living at Motley,
Minis., and brought with him a rare relic
for the war museum of tbe Memorial
University. It is a colored lithograph
or steel engraving of Abraham Lincoln,
the background representing a rich
purple portier much after the style of
the photographs of the ear'y days. It
Is a splendid likeness of the martred

when hhe was living at Fort Atkinson,
W's. While Lincoln was in congress his
Wisconsin colleague, a Mr. Caswell,
who was presented with this picture by
Lincoln himself. Caswell was a cousin
of Mrs Francisco and when he went to
the war presented the picture to his
cousin. It is. an exceptionally good print
in his collection of photographs for Ida
Tarbell's series of articles which ap
peared in MeC'lure's magazine sons', two
years ago. Mr. Francisco persuaded his
mother that the place for It was in the
war museum of the Memorial Univer
sity now building here and she gave it
to him with that understanding. The
picture is alikeness of the famous pres

the printing of the schedule of rates and

1K!6 the classification and rates were
published, making a book of con:-ider

An Odd Little Pariah.
Tile parish of Upper Rldon, in Hants,
Ivnglatid. is probably unique among the
parishes of tbe I'nited Kingdom. It is
situated aliout five miles from Itomsey
and boasts a population of ten. The vil
lage church stands in the center of the
farmyard of one of the two houses in the
parish, and the farmyard is also the vil
lage cemetery. The building dates from
the eleventh century and contains a read
ing desk, communion table and mils and
five pews, but does not boast a pulpit.
The living is of the annual value of $225,
but there Is not at present an incumbent.
Occasionally a clergyman will visit the
district or pass through on a walking

parishioners will attend an impromptu
