DUMPNY HELD FOR TslAL. Woman Charged With Being a Fugi- tive From Justice. BOSTON.~ Oct. 27.—~Mra. Mabellu Dumphy, who had been arrested in an sxpohslvely furnished apartment on Huntington avenue, on a charge of being a fugitive from justice in Chl- cage, was held in $4,600 bonds, after a hearing in the municipal court, to- day, tbe case being continued for a week, to permit extradition proceed— ings. The police inspectors who nrv rested Mrs. Dumphy allege that the woman is wanted in Chicago on the charge of the larceny of $9, 000 worth of diamonds and jowerly, from Charl- es ll“) Giles, of Boston, on October 12. The complainant Charles E. Giles. is a Boston money lender, and claims the larceny occurred when he met Mrs. Dumphy in Chicago, to negotiate a. transaction in which bonds and jewelry figured. Mrs. Dumphy toda’y denied the truth of the charges against her, and declar- ed that. she would fight extradition through the courts. Giles at present is in Chicago. The police understand that Mrs. Dnmphy is the wife of Dr, W. 10. Dumphy, of Chicago. A list of articles alleged to have been stolen, forwarded by the Chicago police, mentions a diamond brooch. valued at $1.000: pair of ear- rlngs, $l.000; silekpin. $150: three din» blonds, unuppralscd. and 210 shares of slotk in a medical company, vulv ucd at $0 000 ' The $4.500 ball dcnu‘mdcd was furnished. promptly A WOMAN'S "WHY." Editor of The Sentinel: l have been a patron of your paper for tin.I last eighteen years and have always taken much interest in all an ticies that have been published in the interest of the betterment oi" our townspeople, but have never had my mind so much aroused as it has boon by the two recent appeals for sym patby for the “poor" saloon keepers who have such a hard time to make a living. If they are not making a liv ing, why are so many of them willing to pay the license fee for the privl legs of tryingio do so? Why would it be any worse for them to earn their living by the sweat of their brow in some honest, decent calling, where they would not have to pay for the. privilege nor work on Sunday, nor defy the law to obtain their day's wages? Why should they not earn their living in this way just as: well as the mothers, wives and children of their victims have to do? There is not a patron of these places who can be sure where he is going to finish. no is oh shaky ground. and be the. time short or long, he. is never quite so dependable a man as the one whose brains are. not borogged by alcohol. Are you one of the forty men who are helping support some saloon keeper? Are you not asbnnnld to give him your money that he may have an easy life, while. you support him, and when your earning capacity has been offered up over his bar, then he rewards you by kicking you out because your pock‘ ets are empty? The total amount paid for lntoxicants in 1007 in the United States was 32.275070857. Tile nickel or dime looks like a small amount. but just see how they count up, Count- ing only forty patrons to each one of the 250,000 retail liquor dealers, we have 10,000,000 drinkers, averaging $225 per year. How many of the or dinnry workingmcn‘s families can stand such a drain and make. a decent living? That this vast sum is not destroyed we know. 01 course the liquor dealer expends it to supply his needs. Counting one proprietor and one bartender with each saloon we have two families expending the amount, instead of forty. Can two families wear as many shoes or hats as forty? Cali they eat as many steaks? Can they occupy as many houses? These men would have no trouble to find work enough to do in supplying the needs of the homes which are now but a. mockery of the name. because the money that belongs there is in the saloon keepers till. [1‘ it, were not for the saloon, trades that are languishing for want. of demand would boom as never before when the dlinklng men‘s children had enough to eat and wear and a decent home. to live in, and the towns would have. less “grbccry bills" to pay. Oh! those black spots on the streets of our town. these criminal factories and homes of all evil, when shall we see them wiped out and our streets a safe place for our boys and girls? The, saloon has not come. near my home, but as long as there is one on the streets of the town it is a, menace to your child and mine, for the saloons could not exist if they did not have the boys to do pend upon for future customers. Have. you a boy or girl to give them, that they may manufacture them into a thug, a murderer. a lunatic, or just a common old drunk? I beseech you, temperance people of this town. to fight with all your alight not to have less saloons, but to have no saloon that. shall bear the sanction of the law to debanch our feliowmen.

BRYAN ADDREBEBRESO NIGHT WORK- Tells Audience There to Necessity and Dignity In Labor. nnw ronk, on. 27.-l‘or the am time in their history at such an hour, the grey walls of the old City Hall were lighted by red fire at 3 o'clock this morning, when William J. Bryan, barclwudcd and smiling, was introduc- cd from the steps of the building to a big crowd of nightworkers gathered there. to greet him and to hear him speak on the issues of the campaign. Before the cheers had ceased, the rod ilro died out. and Mr. Bryan made his address in the dark, the few street lamps in the. park giving hardly enough light for the listeners to dis- ilngulsh the form of the speaker against, the dark walls of the old bulld- big and the muffled forms of those who accompanied him. The. crowd was composed principally of omployes in the big newspaper oili- ces on Park Row, the telegraph oili- ces and the general postoiilccs across the jerk, while here. and there a yellow "(luster" marked a listener from one of the big markets where work does not cease with darkness. A brass band entertained the. crowd with badly played patriotic airs until the arrival of Mr. Bryan amt his party. and a number of the lessor lights‘in the po- litical field spoke, briefly, but neither these interruptions, nor the arrival and speech of Mr, Bryan himself disturbed the regular patrons of the park bench- cs, scores of whom slept on undisturb- ed by the unusual activity in their out of doors' sleeping places. Mr. Bryan was accompanied by National Chair- man Norman E. Mack and by Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Muck. Mr. Brynn cu- loglzed the workers 01‘ the country and Spliilt‘ at some, length on the var- ious issues of the campaign. ‘Mr. Bryan said that to him the the meeting Was ono of the, most 111- tcresting ol’ the campaign. “’l‘iierc-ls not only necessity for labor," he. do clared, "but there is dignity in labor. i believe that the time will yet come when public sentiment will put the badge of disgrace not upon the man who with brain or muscle contributes to their nation's Welfare, but. upon the than who is willing tospcnd in ldlu~ nests the money .lhni some of them have, made.” ' The people, he said, could govern themselves, and no asserted that the progress was constantly toward a lar- ger participation by the people in their own government. “if,” he said. amid great cheering, “i have gained a place in your conti- dance it is simply because i have tak on you into my confidence." The Democratic candidadato, then took up the issues of the campaign. As regards the election of senators by vote, he declared that be full. confl- duni. "ilmt the people of New York by adopting that plan could not make worse mistakes titan their legislature . has done." in reference to private he said: “We hellevh it will it wlil‘nevcr be safe. to have monopolies until God semis ns angels to take charge of them. and from our experience with those in charge We are inclined to ho llcvc that they come not. from above but from below " TRIBUTE TO SOUTH. monopolies Resolutions of‘Spanlsh War Veterans Sent to J.
