No previous arrangement his he<n made for speeches ami the train schedule was twisted by delays early in the PSjsjtS. Msi ?Jos. Wilson made nearly n dosen speeches from his car. He replied to Former .Senator Bcv endge of Indiana, who charged in a recent speech that Gov, Wilson. '< elected, would be boss-controlled When the Democratic candidate reached Logansport, he hit at Mr. Bverldge before a large crowd. "I understand that In s speech made last Saturday night." said Gov.

Nothing can be clearer than that Governor Wilson has given the sub? ject of tariff revision close und intel? ligent study.

She a wo? man of noble Spanish birth, whom the old General married n years ago. That tin- husband, with whom sin could Und n<> happiness, might not know the sorrow of parting with his treasures, she took her jewels of tin happy days of her youth when she was a ladle at the court of Queen Iiabelle of Spain, and passed them I over tin- counter of a Sixth avenue pawnshop. She wept as she parted with the rich gems?enough of them to draw from the coffers of the money lend er the $8,200 needed to satisfy the ' judgment against General Sickles' rel- ( lot "1 have done it for him," she said \ In English punctuated with a soft j CaStilian accent, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "My mother and 1 did not know that father was in trouble until a week ago, when we read it in the newspapers," said Stanton Sickles, the ton of the General, who lives with his mother and has been connected with the diplomatic service. "We were down at the seashore when we read Of his ?rief at the prospect of losing the things that meant so much to him. "1 have not seen my father for two years until last night, when he was at a dinner at the Hotel Lafayette sur? rounded by a number of his old vet? eran friends. 1 did not speak to him then. 1 BtOOOd by and thought of the sacrifice my mother, who could not live happily with him, war, to make today to insure his happiness Then I went away." About 1 o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Sickles, accompanied by her son. left their home at 3 West Kighth street. Though they seldom, see and more rarely communicate with the old General, his wife and son live just around the comer from his residence at ^3 Fifth ?.venne. Together mother and s*>n went to the safe deposit vaults of the Knick? erbocker Trust Company, at Thirty fourth street and Fifth avenue. Stan ton Sickles remained iji the waiting rooin while his mother went to her safe deposit box. She came forth in a minute with a fm.r-sized white pasteboard box in her hands. It was tied uround with ordinary white cord. With this box held careless?/, it aenaoedi siie and her s<>n worked their way through the noonday crowd In tin- shopping district. Their destina? tion was ntcAleenan'e pawnshop at Thirty fifth street and sixth avenue. No one recognized the dark-vis? aged womaj and the tall, athletic your.:; man as they entered the Ten? derloin pawnshop. The proprietor of the resort knew that tin- lady was coming with a quantity of rieh jew? els on which she wished to raise .>v 200, ? >f that fact he had been in formed by General Sk kles' lawyer, w ith w horn lira. Sickles had communi? cated. Mrs. sickles broke the string that bound the oovar to the little box she laid mi the pawnshop (??unter i r * front of in-r. Tears trickled down her cheeks, mii! her e?>n stood by her ?sid-e, his head bared. She took from the box one by one those memories ol tin- days of youth ant' romance. There were ropes ol pearls and heavy hands of gold set with diamonds.

CALLY I D I POX, Financial Scheme Involving About $100.4100,000 Alone llcmulns tu be Settled. Paris, Sept. 16.- The terms of pea< between Italy and Turkey have been practically arranged with the exception of a proposed loan to Tur? key between 500,000,000 and 600, 000,000 francs, concerning which Italy is now communicating with French, English and Belgian finan? ciers, according to a telegram re? ceived today by the Paris Tempi from Rene Pua, one of its editors at Ge? neva. The terms of the postponed settle? ment include, the dispatch states, the tacit acceptance by the porte that Italian occupation of Tripoli is an ac? complished fact, Turkey being per? mitted to retain a Mediterranean port at one of the extremities of Libya, with a strip id* territory allowing communication with the Arabs in the interior. Provision also is made for recog? nition of the spiritual sovereignty of the sultan in Tripolotania; for the payment Of monetary grants to the Arab chiefs by Italy, which also will pay to Turkey annually a certain amount of the national debt, the pay? ment being guaranteed by revenues derived from Libya; and for the cession to Turkey of some portion of Italian territory in 'he Red sea, as compensation for the loss of Tripoli. Italian delegates objected to the suggested retrocession of a part of^ Massowha, in the Italian colony of Eritrea, and this may be eliminated. The question of status of the Aegean islands has not been raised, the writer concludes, as Italy is aware that the powers would not agree to their retention by Italy. PAID $10.000 FOR ('OLD BRICK. Swindle Disclosed After Death of the Victim at South Rond. Wash. Seattle, Sept. 15.?A $10,000 gold brick swindle perpetrated three years ago on W. R. Marion, a wealthy resi? dent of South Lend, Wash., who has Since died, was disclosed yesterday when a cheese-shaped '"brick." weigh? ing 100 pounds, was declared at the United States assay office here to be made of copper, coated thickly with pure gold. Mr. Marion who is believed to have bought the "brick" from a half-blood Mexican who visited him three years ago, evidently discovered that he had i.e. n swindled, but did not complain and the success of the confidence man was brought to light only when his victim's widow beggn an investigation of an apparent $10,000 shortage in her husband's estate. Search of his effects revealed the 'golden cheese" reposing in the bot? tom of a trunk and brought to light a draft lor 110,.I drawn by Mr. Ma? rion in favor <d* himself and cashed by himself at a Seattle bank in Oc? tober, 1909, Armageddon. The newspaper editors have not yet been able to figure out what ROOSO Velt meant when he said "1 stand at Armageddon ami l battle for the Lord." Almost every historic battle Meld has at one time or another been called Armageddon, hut it is safe to say that Roosevelt did not have the battle of Waterloo in mind when he made his now famous utterance. Tin Spartan burg Journal is looking for ai aged \oiume entitled "Armageddon,' ami if it wrll throw any light on the subject, we hope it will be found. According to the best authorities th<- name appears only in Revelation NVl, 16, ami signifies the mountain of Meglddo, The reference in Revelation is probably to Meglddo, bul others claim it refers to the plain of Bsdrae ion in Galilee and Samaria, famous a-: a battle-held. Esdraelon, or tin: plain of Jesreel, has been a noted battle* held in ancient ami modern times, from Gideon's victory over the Mldi anltes to Napoleon's over the Turks in 1709. After all it would seem th.it very few understand the exact meaning of the word and it may either mean de? feat or victory for Roosevi !t. He had but one idea in view when he made the speech, but others who will assist in his downfall can with equal truth proclaim, after the dust of the ira\ has settled, that "We stood at Arma? geddon." -Columbia Record.
