At Topeka, Kansas. An insane man gave his name as J. Everest Worthington, whose former place of residence tbe police have been unable to learn, was captured within a Mock of tbe State House, where he said be was going to kill Governor E. W Hoch. Tbe man was unarmed, but he is of a powerful build and undoubt edly would have bandied tbe Chief Executive roughly had be not been intercepted.

Communicatlm with the man is held by means of written questions, And answers, as he pretends to be deaf and dumb. In answer to a question in regard to wbat bis purpose was with thrGovernor, Worthington said: “1 was inspired by Pyrus, the God of Fire, to oome here and kill Gover nor Hook. I hate sworn eternal ven glance against all statesm°n who pre tend that tbev are self-made men. If it had hot been for his officer who captured me, Governor Hoch would have been no more, for when I was arrested I was on my way to the Cap itol to kill him. () e who has risen from obscurity to a high place is the worst enemy of the impecunious gen teel. Therefore, I hate Hoch." Worthington dresses well and has the appearance of a man of Intelli gence.

Then he said: "God bless Beckham and you, my fellow Americana (Applause ) Surely any min would indeed be gratified to Extended President Roosevelt by | SLSTSi'ufoThiv Introduced me, Governor Beckham the Kentucky People. THE BLUE AND GRAY. Oov. Beckham Welcomed Him as the Mss to Whom We Look Dnriof the Next Four Years to Obliterate All Seetioaal Differeaces Between Sections. , A dispatch from Louisville, Ky., says President Roosevelt’s welcome to Old Kentucky was typical of tbe State, and his reference in his speech to a united country, his greeting of Confederate veterans as "my com rades" and his allusion to- the wearer of the grey who bore aloft at the bead of the procession of escort the “flag of one united country" greatly pleased tboee who oould hear him. The President was in Lonlsvllle but two hours,~but not a moment was lost. His reception In the residence section of the city was cordial, as he passed through the business section it was thoroughly demonstrative of good will, and at the speaking stand and on tbe short drive over tbe business section it was an assured ovation. Everywhere the crowds were enor mous, but Orderly, and, barring a lit tle oonfuslon ln front of the speaker’s stand the police arrargemeats were excellent. Tbe President was greatly pleased at the cordiality of the crowds and was much touebod over the pre sentation of three magnificent souve nirs reminiscent of Abraham Lincoln. These souvenirs were given him a few moments before his train departed for the S uthwest. The President waa welcomed to Louisville by acting Mayor Paul C. Boeth. , The President responded briefly, and was then escorted to his^mrrlage a few steps away, where he was seat ed with secretary Loeb, Governor Beckham and Mr. Murray. Preoeel ed by a detail of mounted police and by a mounted civilian escort bearing toe,President'*colors, tbe President’s carriage moved forward, tbe prooes- slon being under way in a few mo meets with Gen. John B. Ccstlemao acting as grand marshal. The Presi dent was cheered at frequent Intervals K>y a continuous line of people from- tbe time be left his train until the party neared the business section, where the greeting grew into a popu lar ovation. He was c mpellfd to lift bis bat often during the drive, but a^ be neared Broadway he remoyed bis bat and was kept busy bowing from right to left.

He was ar- rapittly forward and the represeuta tie from the Eleventh Alabama Regl ment. This flag was carried by the Confederates to deceive fcbe Unlted States troops, it Is stated. There are several of the Confeder ate flags that were found wiapped about the bodies of their bearers, who stripped them from their staffs to save them from capture. Two of tbeA are stained by the life blood of tbe bearers, who were shot while attemp- log to get away with tb^ir emblems Private John M. Hays, of Company F, Fourth Iowa Cavalry, Is credited with the capture of a Gonlederate bat tie flag of tbe stars and bars design at Columbus, Ga., April 16, 1865.

An interesting romance growing out of. university settlement work among the tenement population on the Eist Side In New York, was re vealed Wednesday when announce ment was made of the engagement of J. G. Phelps Stokes, millionaire and philanthropist, son of Anson Phelpe Stokes, to Miss Rose Harriet Pastor, formerly of Cleveland, O , and later a writer on tbe Jewish Dally News of New York, frbm which she recently resigned to accept a clerkship iq the university settlement in Eldridge street. Mias Pastor, who Is an at tractive young woman, has for years been one of the foremost workers for the betterment of the conditions of the poor on Eist Side, and it was while thus engaged that she met* Mr. Stokes, who has always been actively Interested In settlement work.

At Fourth and Broadway about s thousand pupils of the boys’ and girls’ high schools were banked along the wails and terraced lawns of tbe Y. M. 0. A. Home. Flags waved a we’come to the evident pleasure of the Presi dent, whose carriage a moment later turned Into Fourth street. The retail district was black witb people. Every window along Fourth street had its oocupanta and the roofs of buildings were occupied while the street below was a mass of humanity. The decor ations on Fourth street were lavish, the beautiful Government building at Fourth and Chestnut streets, being especially attractive. k The Preeldent arrived at the speak er’s stand In front of tbe Court House, at Sixth and Jefferson streets, at 10 A. M. He was Introduced in a few words, by Governor Beckman, whq said: “Not only tbe people of Louis vllle, but tbe people of all Kentucky rejoice today in welcoming among us tbe Preeident of this great republic. Regardless of all political differences we are here to do hondr, not only to the Chief Magistrate of this great but also to Theodore Roose veil, the man. (Great applause.) We recognize bis eminent patriot ism, his integrity, bisfcarlessne*-*, and we ail believe him to be a friend of the great common people, throughout this country. We also look forward to him during the next Jouc_yparo as the ruler of this republic, to obliterate the last faint line of sectional differences that may exist in this country. (Applause.) 1 believe that it is in the power of this great man, who more than any President finoe the big brained and big hearted Lincoln, bolds the affeo Men and the confidence of the people of "this country; 1 say, I believe it is more in his power tban in the power ot any oth. r man to establish beyond question the fact that there is no North, noBouthy-ns East and no Wes, in this country." As the President stepped upon tbe platform and the crowds saw tpm a prolonged cheer went up. The Presi dent tried to speak, bat good natarsd- (Applause.) “As the Governor baa so well said, upon all tbe important questions, tbe questions that infinitely transcend mere partisan differences, we are fund amentally one. (Applaase) “For, in tbe question of foreign and Internal politics, tbe points upon which there can be no proper dtvisidn on party llnesV infinitely exceed Id number those upon which there can be such division and, Governor Beck bam, I shall do all that in me lies to Justify the hope to which you have given expression, and to try to show myself the President of all the people of the United States. (Prolonged ap plause ) “And, naturally, 1 feel particularly gratified as seeing here, to-day, Joined in this procession, the men who wore the blue and tbe men who wore tbe grey. (Laughter and applause.) “IA the dark days—now, keep Just as quiet as you can; you won’t be able to do anything more than see-me any how (Laughter and applause)—In tbe dark days, each of you fought for the right as It was given him to see tbe right (A voice. That’s right.!) and each of you has left us the rlgbt to feel pride not only in your valor, but in your devotion to wbat you conscien tiously believed your duty. (Great ap plause.) "And now we are all one (cheers and long continued applause) and as a united perple, we have the ~rigbt to feel tbe same pride in the Valor of tbe man who oonecientiously risked bis life In tbS Confederate uniform that we hive In tbe man who fought in the blue. (Applause.) And as I passed by your ranks, oh, my friends In grey, to-day, and saluted tbe flig of our common country, held up by a man In the drey uniform, I felt that Indeed we .4re one, and that we bave been e to show mankind the greatest War of the century can be followed by tbe most perfect unioo that any na tlon now knows. (Great applause.) "Aud In coming to this great and beautiful city of yours, I wish to con gratulate you upon the historic spirit that is found here." (Pointing to the s atue of Thomas Jefferson tbatstands in front of the Court House, the Pree. ident continued: “I ana glad, as I say, of the spirit that makes you wish to dedicate stat ues like this ot Jt-ffe'Son, and like tbe great statue of Clay Inside of this Court House. It is a flae thing to keep to a sense of historic cjntlnulty with the past, and there is one statue that I wish the mrmber In the National Congress from Kentucky to see is put up by the National Government, and that is a national statue of A idrew Jackson,.and the victors of the battle of New Orleans. The fight at New Or. leans was one in which the wool# na tion has a care t as far as tbe glory and the prom went,'and the whole nation and not any one State, should Join in putting that statue up “Now, I am going to say good bve, '>ecause there is a little movement, there, and It will be better for the wo men and small people if 1 let you get way. G iod-bye." As tbe President descended to the platform from the speaker’s suqd the voloes of two male German singing so cieties burst forth with the strain of "My Old Kentucky H me," the Pres ‘dent remaining uncovered until the famous song had been oonol^iied. Then he spoke to the shigers as fol lows: '‘Gentlemen: I want to thank you for coming here to sing to day and 1 want to say Just one thing suggested by your prtsenoe. We as a people are composed of men of many different stocks from the *0:d World. Each stock can contribute something of great value to our national life. Tbe people of German origin who bave come here bave contributed much in many different ways, and not the least of wbat they contributed has been the power to know whaUtpAjify of living means. (Applause.) There lx one word 1 wish it were possible to translate, but as it Is not possible I wish ws oould ad pt it absolutely as It Is ‘gemutbllohkeit’—for gemuethllch- kelt is a mighty valuable asset. I only hope as missionaries you will ba able to teach us wbat it means and how to practice it all through. Good-bye (Laughter) . The President and party then en tered tbelr carriage* and after a short drive through several streets in the business district arrived at tbe Louis ville Hotel. The streets were massed with people and the President stood up In his carrisge, bowing from right to left in reap jnce to tbe oheering, which was hearty and continuous. In the parlors of tbe hotel occurred one of tbe prettiest incidents of the d%y -tbe presentation of souvenirs to the Executive. Taese consisted of a massive silver flagon containing water I from a spring on the old Lincoln homestead in Larue County; an ink stand of oak that shaded the spring at which Lincoln drank when a lad, and a beautiful silver vase filled with orchids. The President was visibly touched by tbe gifts as It was a eoaa plete surprise. Tae presentation wss made hr Ool. R. T. Durrett, for twenta years s friend of tbe President aod In whose library Mr. Roosevelt years ago, spent m my hours gaining information as to tbe history of Ken tacky and data as to tbe I^wts and Clark Expedition. The group sur round it g the President when the pre sentation was mtde Included £ >ver nor BtCknam, Senator McCreary, Congressman Sberley. the Hon. Logan 0. Murray and a few invited guests, numbering altogether not more than fifty. Tbe President made a feeling response, saying that he felt more than ever that he was the President of all the people—North and South, East and West. A hurried departure was taken, the Preeldent arriving on board bis train at exactly 11 o'clock. A minute later with tbe Executive standing on the rear platform of the oar, witb cannon thundering a farewell salute, less than a block away and to tbe mus e of deaf ening cheers, the train moved out of Seventh street station^ aodja. half hoar later was speeding across Indi ana on its way to the Southwest. THRU MXN KILLID The Democrats Won a Great Victory Over the Bepnblicans, By an Bxploeion In a Cartridge Fac tory In Bridgeport. At Bridgeport, Conn., lo a terrific explosion that blew to pieces one of i he brick buildings of the Union Me tallic Cartridge Company shortly be fore the dose of the day’s work Wed nesday, three men were Instantly killed. Great crowds gathered and in the panic that followed wp&en faint ed and made frantic efforts to get within the walls surrounding tbe riant, as it wss reported that many lives were lost. They were held In check, however/and the employees in the other buildings made their es cape In safety, The ajpparent horror of tbe situs- increased by the breaking out of fire and the appearance of am oee and morgue wagons, which tiled up to tbe factory. A few moments after the explosion occurred tbe tire department arrived on the scene and succeeded in checking the flames quickly. The only man In tbe building at tbe time, John Meary, wss blown tbrongh the roof, with s great mass of debrii. and fell dead. Two helpers, Michael Hurley and William Bayltu, working new the building, also were killed. Tbe explosion occurred in tbe dry bouse, where primers cepe are dried on long steam plpee. In some manner one of the cape was discharged and tbe explosion followed. The foundation of every building were skaken as If by an earthquake and the explosion was felt in bouses within a radius of a mile. Superintendent Ryland said Wednesday that tbe loes to the com pauy would be about 130,000. Shot Her Sweetheart. At Huntavllle, Ala., Thursday Hill Ar Ballard was shot and kilted by Miss Oma Harding, his sweetheart, who followed her attack on him bj shooting herself through tbe heart, dying Instantly. The tragedy is be lieved to bave been the result of a overs' quarrel. Tbe woman came to .Huntsville Thursday morning, pur chased a pistol and went to Ballard’s boardlt g bouse, called him to tbe door and opt n d fire on him. Tbe bullet passed into his left breast and he ran into the kitchen and fell. Tbe wo man killed herself on the front porch. Youi g Ballard died at the city bes pital Thursday afternoon.

A |, 0TH[R KHJJKQ Municipal Ownership of Public Util, itles the Iraue on Which tbe Bat tle Waa Fought and Won. A dispatch. from Chicago says a political tornado on Tuesday, April 4, overwhelmed one of tbe most rugged- unique leaders In the country. In cidentally, the Republican party met defeat Ut a memorable effort to cap ture the mayoralty of Chicago. As a result the otty Is officially oom- ted to tbe policy of the quickest josslble cessation of private franchisee or public u'ilUles. Municipal owner ship is especially threatening street car lines, valued high up in tbe mil- ions. \ , ~ After winning successively four re markable biennial fights of Independ- ents against the regular Republican party organization ' here, John May nard Harlan, son of Associate Justice larlan, of the United States Supreme Court, was a loser as Republi can candidate for mayor. Tbe defeat attributed to an extraordinary whirl of causes starting with political revenge &d taking in a wide sweep, embracing tbe most up to date Social ism as a factor. .The victor ta Judge Edward F. Dunne, Democrat. Seldom, If ever, has Chicago wit nessed a more lively, picturesque con test. Tuesday, particularly, the city was hideous with the ringing of cow bells and the rdar of cannon obaok- ers. * __ . — % _ It was a raw, blustering day, glcony and cold for tbe most part until about the hour for tbe. efoee of voting. Tbe sunburst then was not balled joyfully by the Republicans, who felt that even in the matter of election weather the party had been under a severe handicap Appeals to fear of daminatlon by Corporate wealth appeared to sway many voters, and, perhaps more than any other influence, was incorrectly gauged by the Republicans. Harlan cad been savagely harassed during the camps ga af the reputed representa tive of Wjall street interests Intent mi fastening burdensome franchise grants upon the city. The Republicans, nuwever, had figured that tbe voters susceptible to appeal* of this kind would support the Socialist candidate. Collins, and that losses, If any, to tbe Republicans would be more tban made up by Harlan’s old time admirers among independent voters. Eeti .nates, however of 50,000 votes as tbe total for Collins, Socialist, fell wofuily short. The chief error in this re spect was- appearantly in regard to the amount of loss from tbe Demo crats to the Socialists The advocacy of immediate municipal ownership radically vo ced by Judge Dunne out beroded any move by Collins. Calculations upon colored voters were a sjuroe of error In Republican (xpectations. An unmistakable de fection, suddenly districts where Afro-Americans are uumerous gave a severe J Ut to Repub bean campaign managers. Tbe meet plausible explanation was that Judge Dunne from the bench In years bad shown an unexampled spirit of fair ness toward oolored men and women In exigencies when freedom from raoe prejudice was sorely needed Conductor Oliver Killed by Brake- man Mickle on Southern.

He says that he had nothing whatever with which to defend Mineelf from the assault of the conductor and that he retreated about the tength ef the engine, then he picked up from the ground an iron, between; ooe and two feet in length, and threw it at the conductor, hitting him on the heed. The conductor was killed by this blow, bis skull being crushed.

A short distance Orangeburg they met Mickle on hie way to Orangeburg on foot to surren- dcr to the sheriff. Mickle started im mediately after the alienation to walk to Orangeburg, down the rail road track, to surrender to the sheriff, and waa informed after he reached Orangeburg of the death of the eon- duotor. After he was taken to the sheriff’s office, the wound in his ataonl- der was dressed by Dr. Hydrlek.

This phase of tbe cimpaign was, at tended to by “Pop” Anson, who has an almost equally meritorious record in family matters. Anson, tbe old time hero of the base bill diamond, was the Democrat c candidate for city i^lerk. His popularity, personally, was beyond a doubt a potent help to tbe Democrats, who seemed to hugely appreciate bis campaign statistics designed to prove that tbe Democra cy, at least in Chicago, are the origl naland only genuine opponents of race suicide. • Troable la Ra A telegram from St. Petersburg ■ays that tbe prospects of a genenl ’ upheaval of the city and country wttll the advent of aprlng iocreaaea dally.
