Suicide Unidentified.
New York, .Tune 13. No one called at
the morgue today to identify the body of
the old lady who shot herself on SMitur
biv In the vestibule of Calvary church.
That fact makes it seem likely that she
did not live in .New York or its vicinity.
The suicide was probably GO years old.
She was pleasant faced and her figure
indicated robiMt health. Her hands
were soft ai.d white, not the hands of
a woman accustomed to menial work.
The brooch which she pawned to get
the money to buy the revolver with
which she shot herself seems to Is? the
most likely clew. On it were two hnnd-
iiamted isirtraits. One of them is of a
woman of perhaps BO and the other a girl
of perhaps IS. The costuiites ond the
hair dressing are of the styles of thirty
or lorty years ago.

secretary of tho state live stock sanitary
board, 1ms investigated the disease which
is raging among tho cattle in this county
and he says it is neither Texas fever nor
blackleg, which was at first feared.
A number of cattle hnve died from
the disease, which was introduced by
animals from Texas shipped to Council
(irove and driven to Bridgeport. They
were then sold in sniull bunches to dif
ferent buyers, nnd us a result were scat
tered over several townships. It is said
that some of the cattle were sick when
they arrived in this county.
Looked Like Work of Wrecker

with passengers from Coney Island,
crashed into an obstruction on the tracks

J he tram was running slowly at the
time, and fortunately no serious damage
was done.
It was found that several steel rails
had been placed across the tracks and
strongly braced with several other rails.
und it appeared to the detectives who
were at once put on the case and to
train people to be n deliberate attempt
to wrecK the train.

A Mutter of Interest to Travelers.
Tourists, emigrants anil iioirlnr.ru flml
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
medicinal safeguard against uuhealtlifiil
influences, upon which they can implicitly
rely, since it prevents th effects that an
unhealthy climate, vitiated atmosphere,
unaccustomed or unwholesome diet, bad
water or other conditions unfavorable to
health would otherwise produce. Un long
voyages, or journeys by land in latitudes
adjacent to the equator, it is especially
useful as a preventive of the febrile coin-
plaints and disorders of the stomach, liver
and bowels, which lire apt to attack natives
of the temperate zones sojourning or trav
eling in such regions, and is an excellent
protection against the influence of extreme
cold, sudden changes of temperature, ex
posure to (lamp or extreme lattgue. It
not only prevents intermittent and remit
tent fever, and other disorders of n mala
rial type, but eradicates them, a fact which
has been notorious for years past in North
and South America, Mexico, the West
lnu.es, Australia and other countries.

A ailET AND RESTFIL SABBATH
WAS SPENT AT CHATTANOO
GA YESTERDAY.
At the Methodist Church Several of
the Party Visited the Historic
Battle Fields Considering;
the Spanish Mission.
Chattanooga, Tenn., June 13. After a
week of travel, sight-seeing, speech-mak
ing ana social duties, somewnat onerous.
though pleasant in performance, Presi
dent McKinley, Mrs. McKinley and the
more immediate of the staff, had a Sab
bath of restfulness. The heat, while in
tense, was more or less tempered by a
northwestern breeze, which, however, was
not much in evidence in the railway sta
tion into which the train pulled from Nash
ville just ns the day was breaking. The
run was made very slowly in order that
tne president and wife would not be uis
turbed immediately upon their arrival
here. They breakfasted in their car and
immediately after, much to the regret of
many prominent citizens who wished to
meet the chief executive in the morning,
drove to the residence of Hon. H. Clay
Evans, United States commissioner of pen
sions. It was not the desire of the hos
pitable citizens of Chattanooga, however,
in any way to controvert the president's
wishes.
At 10:30 o'clock the president, accom
panied by ex-Postmaster General Key mid
Mr. Jiivans, went to the First Aletliodist
church. Mrs. McKinley did not accom
pany them. The pastor of the church, Dr.
S. T. Westhafer, preached from Genesis,
xxii, 14: "In the mount of the Lord, it
shall be seen." The general subject of
the sermon was "Transfigured Humani
ty," and no reference whatever was made
to the distinguished guests in sermon or
service, except that the blessing of Provi
dence was asked for him and his adminis
tration in the opening prayer, The musical
services were by nn octet of male voices,
assisted by a chorus of young people. The
church was, of course, crowded, nnd many
were unable to obtain admission.
At the close of the services the presi
dent returned to Mr. Evans' home, where
he quietly rested until about 5 o clock,
when Mesdames McKinley nnd Evans,
the president nnd commissioner, drove to
Orchard Knob, one of the crucial points in
the battle of Missionary Itidge. They re
turned in time for dinner, ntter wincii tne
president gave a short reception in the
Konu House, which commenced nt 1 :JU p.
111. I lie reception, owing to tne sncred
ness of the day, was not prolonged beyond
twenty minutes.
At 8 o'clock the president went to the
house of Capt. H. S. Cbanilxrlaiu, n per
sonal friend, where he remained a short
time, afterwards going again to Commis
sioner Evans' home, whence he escorted
Mrs. McKinley to the tram.
That Chnttauooga did not give greater
demonstrations of hospitality and more
earnest manifestations of welcome, was
due solely to the desire of its people to con
form entirely with the wishes of the chief
executive, and the fact that it was the Sab-
bntli.
secretary Shermnn did not attend divine
services, but remained with his daughter
nt the residence of William Larsey, whose
wife is a relative of the Sherman family.
Mr. Sherman's daughter, Mrs. McCullom,
was affected by the hone in Nashville Fri
day, and today has been quite indisposed.
Secretaries Alger nnd Wilson attended
the Second Presbyterian church, Dr. W. J.
Trimble pastor.
Secretary to tne l'resiiient 1'orter nnu
many of the presidential guests, together
with a large reoresentatiou from the news
paper men, left nt 0:30 by rail for Chicka
inuuga park, stopping nt Lytic Hill, where
a number of conveyances were in readi
ness to take the party over the Historic
ground. The party were fortunate in
lmviiiir ns cicerones Gen. Chnrles Gros-
venor of Ohio nnd Gen. J. T. Wilder of
Johnson City, Tenn.
Both of these gentlemen bore distin
guished parts in the battle of Chicknmnu
gu nnd the other conllicts which mnke
Chattanooga and its environs so great a
factor in the history of the Civil war.
Among the others were Col. Xenophon
Wheelef, Gen. Willard Warner nnd Col.
II. B. Chase. When Snodgrnss hill was
reached the party alighted, and Gen. Gros
venor, in a brief nnd graphic address, de
scribed the events of that fatal Sabbath.
Returning to the city Lookout Mountain
was visited, nnd a delightful afternoon
was spent, oil that elevated plateau.
There is absolutely nothing new to say
in regard to the Spanish mission, nnd ns
this in a great measure includes the Cuban
question no outlines of policy in the latter
direction can be given. A gentleman very
close to the administration said to the As
sociated Press correspondent today:
"The question of the Spanish mission oc
cupies the president's mind night and day.
The situation is an embnrrnssing, though
not nn unusual one. I think I am fully
justified in saying that the offer of the
mission has not been officially made to any
one. Therefore, to say thnt Gen. Cox or
nny one else has declined it is not true. Of
course, veu know that Mr. Dawes of Chi
cago brought word from Gen. Cox that he
was busy writiug reminiscences, or rather
a historv, of his connection with the war,
and for that and other reasons was not
willing to go. Herein lies the embarrass
ment. First-class men, properly qualified
and eminently fitted for this most import
ant post, do not care to appear in the light
of an ulterior choice. The president feels
that it is ns much the duty of the patriot
to accept service to prevent wnr as it is to
enter the nrmy for the prosecution of one.
"There is a possibility that Mr. McKin
lev will decide to select some gentleman,
who. well known in his section and to the
appointing power ns a proper man to suc
ceed Minister Taylor, is not as well known
to the people or the politicians ns the gen
tlemen whose names have been suggested
in connection with this mission.
The presidential trnin pulled out between
10 and 11. and went three miles to btier
man's hills, where it remained until tne
schedule time for leaving, the purpose be
ing to avoid the heat of the city.
The special train with the presidentinl
party aboard left Sherman Heights at
2:15 a. nv. for Asheville, N. C, where
the day will be spent.
BECOMIG SENSATIONAL.
Developments Anent Leavenworth
Soldiers' Home Kxoloslou.
Leavenworth, Kns., June 13 Since
the explosion nt the Soldiers' Home it
hns developed that the life of Mnj. Shock
lev, treasurer of the Soldiers Home,
was threatened by Joseph W. Oliver,
the veteran now under arrest for placing
the dynamite loml near the Smith resi
dence. Oliver's pension has been held
luick, nnd he made the threat last Satur
day in the presence of Dilwyn Parker,
Shockley's chief clerk. At a recent pay
day the home officials learned of a plot
to "hold up the paymaster in the woods
north of the Soldiers' Home while re
moving the pension money from Leaven
worth to the home. Oliver told a com
rade thnt he was the originator of the
plot and that only police protection nc-
a 1. n.rmn.iiw n na.wt ita failure

Today Oliver was induced to talk tor
the first time since his nrrest. He re
luted a long list of supposed wrongs the
government hnd done him, and ended
by declaring his innocence.
AS TO IMMIGRATION.
Federaton of Lnuor Sounding- Trades
Unions on the Subject.
Washington, June 13. President Gom
pers and the other members of the
executive committee of the American
Federntion of Labor have sent a greeting
on the immigration question to athliated
unions la order by this means to obtain
the sense of organized labor on the immi
gration question in its several phases.
The greeting says: .
"The subject has been divided 111 such
a mauner that each member may have a
fair opportunity to vote either in favor
of or opposed to the entire subject of
immigration restriction, or upon the
measure and Bcope of such restriction.
Then, of course, those who are opposed
to the restriction of immigration need
give little attention to the manner by
which restriction may be secured, while
those who nre favorable to restriction
can fully discuss and decide ns to the
forms nnd measures of restriction."
The following are the questions sub
mitted: .
First Does your organization favor
amending the laws of the United States
to restrict immigration more than it is
now restricted?
Second Does your organization favor
a provision in the law guarding against
criminal and pauper elements entering
the United States?
Third Should the foreign consular ser
vice and our immigration department be
entrusted with greater powers to enforce
immigration laws?
Fourth Should the violation of the
alien contract labor law by employers be
punishable by imprisonment?
Fifth Should the steamship compa
nies be held responsible for a term of
years for the character of their passen
gers? Sixth Should a stricter civil nnd edu
cational test be enforced as to the quali
fication for naturalization?

Bike Record Broken.
New York, June 13. Edward S. Ed
wards, the Welsh rider of the Century
Wheelmen of New York, raised the Amer
ican record for twenty-four hours rood
riding to 349 2-5 miles today. The best
previous record, 314 miles, was made
by Smith at Baltimore several weeks
ago. Edwards rode over the track known
as the Elizabeth-Kahway course, twenty
one miles, starting at 0 o'clock Saturday

four miles are undergoing repnirs, making
the riding in that portion bad. The race
was under the auspices of the Century
Wheelmen of New York, and members
