SPEAKER CRISP DEAD
Passed Away This Afternoon
at Atlanta.
HIS DEATH HAD BEEN EXPECTED
Illness Which Carried Him Off Dates
From Last Sprint Sketch of Hi
Political Life.
Atlanta, Oct, 23. Charlea F. Crisp,
ex-speaker of the house of representa
tives, died here thia afternoon.
Washington, 23. Speaker Crisp's
death was not altogether a surprise in
political circles, ae it haa been known
for some months that he had not long to
live and never again could be an active
figure in public affairs. The speaker
had several spells of illness in Washing
ton. He suffered from asthma and lat
er from heart trouble. His ill health,
however, did not become a matter of
public notoriety until the past spring,
wtiin h was compelled' to abandon a
seri- b "f j-lint debates arranged with ex
Secretary Huke Smith by reason of the
advice of hi physician that it would im
. peril his lite for him to continue the de
bate, which had attracted great interest,
as it involved the position of the Demo
cratic party of the state on the silver
question and the senatorship of Georgia
for which the ex-speaker waa an active
candidate. The silver men won the
fight, and Crisp, had he lived, would
have been the next senator from Geor
gia. . He was a forceful speaker, a man of
great tact and possessed of qualities that
fitted him for leadership in parliament
ary assemblages. His first prominence
in national affairs came from the skill
with which he led his party in' several
warm election contests. He was elected
to the speakership after one of the most
memorable canvasses in the history of
the house. His chief jpponent was Sen
ator Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, whom he
, defeated after a struggle prolonged so
that the house of representatives, con
trary to custom, assembled on the open
ing day with the question ' of the next
speaker in doubt.
Thi end came at a quarter to two
o'clock.- Crisp had been an inmate of
the sanitarium of Dr. Holmes, in this
city, for several weeks. His condition
had been reported as very low, but - no
fatal conclusion of his illness had been
expected so soon. When the rumor .got
abroad several dajs ago that he was
sinking, it was denied at the sanitarium.
His untimely death makes the choice of
senator a matter of great uncertainty.
Whoever is named will be an advocate
of free silver.
Crisp had been in the sanitarium for
five weeks, suffering from malarial fever.
The immediate cause of bis death was
heart fail ore. .
8ILVERIT3 MUST MOT MAKCH.
Chicago's Chief of Police Sustained
by the Court.
Chicago, Oct. 23. Judge Tullay today
refused to issue an injunction restrain
ing Chief of Police Badenoch from inter
fering with the free silver parade on the
night of Saturday, October 31. He held
that the court bad no jurisdiction, the
right to allow the parade being vested in
the chief ot police. When the Demo
cratic county committee applied for
permission to have a parade in the
down-town streets that evening, Chief
Badenoch refused on the ground that
permission had already been granted the
Republicans for that evening. After
futile attempts at compromise with the
Republican leaders, the matter was
taken into court.
The Democratic leaders Btated in open
court today that they will figbt the po
lice force or any one else who attempts
to stop their marching in the parade on
the night of Obtober 31. Chief Ba
denoch, on the other hand, declares it
would endanger the peace of the city to
have two opposing political factions
marching on the streets at the same
time, and says the Democrats will not
be allowed to parade.
MB. BEED IN KANSAS.
O rested by Immense Audiences In
Wichita.
Wichita, Kan., Oct. 24. Hon. Thom
. as B. Reed of Maine arrived here today
and was greeted by possibly the largest
collection of people ever assembled in
Kanaas. Nearly 7,000 non-residents came
in on the excursion trains. These in
cluded eight bands of music. Mr. Reed
made two speeches in the interest of
Congressman Cheater I. Long of this
district, Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma
and the entire republican cause. One
speech was in an immense circus tent to
about 7,000 men, and the other speech
was at the Auditorium to 3,500 ladies.
One ' the remarkable accidental feat
ures of both speeches was the fact that
Mr. Reed did not mention the name of
Major McKinley m either speech. The
leading theme of Mr. Reed's speeches
was the tariff. He said that there is
money enough in the country, but not
work enough. . He said that what the
people of this nation wanted is the em
ployment of all its people and a credit
sufficient to sixain employment. With
reference to the money question, he said
that he wanted money that would he
good when dynasties fell, when kings
are overthrown and when republics go to
pieces. That money, he said, is gold.
He said the policy of the republican
party is to marry labor and capital.
"Bryan's shadow," he said, "caused
the Pennsylvania road to fall off $1,250,-
000 in its earnings last month. What
loss will the substance cause?"
The day's jubilee ended in a tre
mendous torchlight . and pyrotechnic
demonstration at night.
CELEBRATION OF FLAG DAY.
Chairman Hanna TJrees Special Effort
Next Saturday.
Chicago, Oct. 20. Special to The
Cheonicle. Chairman Hanna today
telegraphed the chairman of the Repub
lican State Central Committees, urging
them to make a special effort for the
celebration of flag day,' next Saturday,
by calling upon Republicans .every where
to display the national colors and as
semble end hear patriotic speeches and
paiticipate in appropriate exercises.
Only one instance of political coercion
has been absolutely proven. It is that
of the dismissal of C. E. Wilson, news
editor of the Pueblo (Colorado) Call, for
carrying a McKinley banner in the St.
Louie McKinley parade. His affidavit
to this effect, together with a copy of
the letter of dismissal recei?ed by him,
reached Republican national committee
headquarters today, and shows that the
coercion is not altogether upon the side
ol the free silver advocates. . :
Rev. O. E. Murray, . pastor of the
Paulina street Methodist church, Chi
cago, haa investigated the charge of the
New York "Voice" prohibition organ,
that Major McKinley or bis wife have
rented property in -Canton which la a
saloon, and denounces the statement as
absolutely false.
F. P. Sargent, grand master of the
locomotive firemen, has followed Chief
P. M. Arthur with the announcement
that he will vote for McKinley and that
he never, knowingly, signed a petition
or memorial in favor of lree silver.
Reports received by Chairman Hanna
today confirms bis statement that Mc
Kinley and Hobart will carry, all but
twelve states and that the Republican
electoral vote will not be less than 302.
THEY REFUSE TO FUSE.
Georgia Populists Retaliate Upon the
Democrats. .
Atlanta, Oct. 23. It is learned here,
on what is believed to be unimpeachable
authority, that fusion waa agreed upon
yesterday between Senator Jones and
Populist Comraitteman Washburn. As
a result Washburn left Chicago for Nash
ville, and H. W. Reed left Atlanta last
night for the same place, where they will
meet Tom Watson.
Democratic National Chairman Jones
wired his representative here in sub
stance as follows yesterday :
"We must acede to the demands of the
Populists for fusion in Georgia."
The reply. in substance was: .
"Populists of Georgia don't waa
fusion ; they demand surrender."
To this Jones responded: "If those
are the facts use your own judgment."
It appears from this that a general
plan of fusion satisfactory to the Popu
lists has been agreed upon between
Washburn and Jones, and Georgia alone
stands in the way of its consummation.
Seemed Reasonable.
"On what ground," asked the court,
"does the petitioner base his demand
for changing his napie?"
"On the ground," replied the peti
tioner's attorney, "that he waa not con
sulted when his parentis, who were
Methodists, gave liim the name of John
Wesley. He now wishes to have it legal
ly changed to Roger Williams, so he
can join the Baptists quietly and with

FORGOT HIS ORDERS
An Engineer's Carelessness
Caused a Had Accident.
TRAIN'S COLLIDED NEAR ST. LOUIS
Eight I'emons WrK Killed,
Ttvenly-one More or Less In
juredMany Will Die.
St; Louis, Oct. 25. Shortly beiore 10
o'cloek tins morning, two passenger
trains on the St. Louis & San Francisco
railroad, going- in opposite directions,
collided near Windsor station, thirteen
miles from this city, instantly killing
eight persons and injuring a large num
ber, three of whom will probably die.
The killed are all of St. Louis.
The collision occurred between the
second section of an excursion train
bound west, and the 'Frisco Valley Park
accommodation.
From what can he learned at this
hour, the accident was the result of dis
obedience or neglect of orders on the
part of the excursion crew, w ho should
have remained at Spring Park for
orders, and let the accommodation train
through. The excursion train was the
second section of a special bound for St.
James, Mo., 100 miles west of St. Louis,
where the Missouri Home for Aged
Veterans was dedicated todav under the
auspices of the G. A. Iind Women's
Relief Corpa. The first section had
gone through safely, and the second,
which consisted of eleven coaches
heavily ladon with G. A. R. men, their
wives and children, left St. Louis about
9 o'clock. According to J. D. Disbman,
the telegraph operator and station agent
at Spring Park, it should have stopped
at that place for orders. Instead of
doing so, the Becond section passed by
the station, and soon after- met -the ac
commodation coming down the grade at
full Bpeed.
Engineer Hohl, of the accommoda
tion, was not aware tiie second section
was on the road, and in trying to make
the switch at Kirkwood, crashed into
the ill-fated train in a cut just thirteen
miles from the St. Louis union station
There was only one car, a combination
baggage and coach, on Engineer Hohl's
train, but the collision was terrific, both
engines being demolished and a number
of cars telescoped. . The wreckage was
pulled high on the track, and above the
sound of escaping eteam could be heard
the cries of the frightened and injured
passengers.
S1CKELS COMMENTS ON HIS TOI.lt.
Buys the Traiups of the Went Are. for
Bryan.
Philadelphia, Oct. 24. -The war gen
erals who have Deen on a campaigning
tour throughout the West in the interest
of McKinley and Hobart have cause to
feel proud of the reception tendered
them in this city tonight. Altogether it
is estimated not less than 10.000 people
heard the speakers.
General Daniel E. Sickels, who made
the principal address, said:' "In the
West we found the trampa unanimously
for Bryan. Hi9 strength anions the
tramps is simply overwhelming. I don't
know any one who has surpassed Bryan
in recent vears but Coxev. Out West
we weretold the war was over and that
the people saw no reason for us old
wrecks going aroind making speeches.
We said it would not be out of the way
for Bryan to invite some of the union
and confederate generals to accompany
him. . He might ask General Longfitreet,
who shot off my leg, but Longstreet
would answer 'I cannot, for I am a 11c
Kinley elector from Georgia.' "
Tennesee Fusion Not X.lkely.
Nashville, Oct. 24. The chances of
democratic-popnliet fusion in Tennessee
eeem to have waned. The speeches and
influence of Watson have strengthened
the intentions of the populist managers
to fuae only on terms which the demo
crats will not yield to. From present
indications both parties will continue
their electoral' tickets in the field, and
in counties where the Australian ballot
system prevails no changes can be made
of names on the official ballot, the limit
having expired at 12 o'clock last night.
Failure of Fusion in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Get. 23. The sub-committee
of the Populist state committee,
to whom was entrasted the settlement
of the fusion question, tonight formally
withdrew the Populist electoral ticket in
Georgia. This is understood to be the
result of a failure of negotiations between
Chairman Jones and Committeeman
Washburn in Chicago. The Populists
will devote themselves to electing their
congressional candidates, 'on which, it in
said, they will in several iiiBtanc.es have
the assistance of the Republican vote. A
large section of the populist vote, it is
thought, will be cast for McKinley.
MEANS TOWARD GOOD LOOKS.
Trifles Which Aid In Keeping Women's
Faces Fair to View.
A well-known writer says: "A wom
an's gospel is to be lovely in. mind
and body."
We all know that loveliness of mind
is reflected in the expression of the face
aid cj'es, but as it cannot altect the
texture or color of the skin, I will give
you a few recipes for developing and
enhancing the beauty of one, while
you alone can cultivate the loveliness
of the other.
Fineness of the skin, daintiness of
the body arid rosiness of the complex
ion depend almost entirely upon bath
ing, as a means both of obtaining and
retaining them. A cold bath is a good
tonic and nerve bracer, but it neither
cleanses nor beautifies the skin to any
extent. Nor should delicate girls or
women think of indulging in it unless
so advised by theirphysieian. The tem
perature of a beautifying bath should
v? from 70 to 75 degrees, and it should
be of daily occurrence. Ordinary wa
ter, that is, water neither particularly
hard nor soft, is not sufficiently cleans
ing to the skin, and a French firm.has
lately introduced dainrty bags- contain
ing almond-meal, oatmeal and orris
root, to bo placed in the water a few
moments before the bath is ready. This
rentiers the water very milky, and has
a wonderfully softening and whiten
ing effect. Baths in which milk, bran
or starch has been platted are found to
refine or whiten the coarsest, reddest
ski", if persU-tently used. Softnessand
firmness of skin may be obtained by the
use of a simple unguent made famous
by the (J reek and Roman women, who
centuries ago set us the example of
perfect personal cleanliness as the road
to beauty. The. following enn be made
with very little trouble, and it is de
lightfully exhilarating after the bath:
l!et. white vinegar, one pint; rose
mary, me, camphor and lavender (of
each), two "drachms. Let the herbs
soak in the vinegar for several hours,
then strain. Rub thoroughly all over
the 'body and a delicious comfortable
feeling and a dainty perfume will re
main with one all day long.
There are many little skin troubles
which are both persistent and trouble
some, and vex' one's very sonl by ap
pearing on the face. A greasy skin may
arise from various causes, b'lt generaily
frnm lack of cleanliness or debility of
the skin. Only an astringent has any
effect upon it, and a xery simple, entire
ly harmless one may be made, from one
pint of rosewaiter. half a pint of white
wine vinegar arid a few drops of es
sence of rose. This lotion may be ap
plied with a piece of soft Ifnen ora very
fine sjiouge.
1 "lack heads are- very difficult- to get
rid of. and are caused by the clogging
cf the pores of the. skin by dust or for
eign mutter. Alcohol. 90 per cent., ap
plied by means of a piece of chamois
skin, will give tone to the skin and re
move unsuspected dirt and dust, at the
same time stimulating the small glands'
and removing, by constant use, rlie
blncliiicadis.
Tan and freckles may be,4emoved by
the use of the following lotion: Two
drachms of powdered sal ammoniac.
four draehms eau de cologne, one
ijnart of dist illed water. Lemon juice
and borax are both very ellicaeious,
:md are home remedies.
Many skins will stand constant wash
ing, but. need to be cleaned alter a
dusty ride or walk by other means than
soap, and waer. Lait Virginal is a de
licious preparation, and can be made
follows: One pint of rose, orange-
llowcr or elder flower water, half un
ounce of simple tincture of benzoin and
ten drops of tincture of myrrh.
After l.-ein- exposed to harsh or chill-
tug Wilms, it i. n good plan, upon re
tiring, to rub a (piautity of freth cream
ftm the face, removing after alout five
or ton minutes, to be applied again,
followed bv a sviierous puffing of rice
powder: Ilemove in the morning by
tepid wafer and I.ait. I'gmal.
The use of. (-osmetics, face xwders
and rouges cannot be too strongly con
demned. "Thev stamp the person using
them as silly and vulgar in the eyes of
all refined and cultured people, and do
not in etcn t lie slightest degree enhance
or beautify. A good complexion needs
no. artificial toning or heightening,
nature being the cleverest of all artists.
A poor'' skin is kept clogged and its
condition impoverished by the replica
tion of cosmetics often, indeed, it is
poisoned by the harmful ingredients
contained in them. Arsenic and white
lend are the two drugs movt used in
th-air preparation, and two of the rank
est poisons which can be introduced
into the system. . Medical treatment
for the lH'autifying, preserving and im
proving the complexion should only
be undertaken under the direction of
one's family- physician, and once en
tered upon, should be continued pa
tiently and- faithfully until the pur
pose is. accomplished. Nothing short
of a complete course of treatment will
prove efficacious.. VV nth good medical J
advice, plenty of sleep, fresh air, care
ful diet and scrupulous cleanliness, all
women may hope to have complexions
fair and sweet to look npon. Ladies'

CROSSED THE TROCHA
iTaceo's Forces Are fcafe in
Havana Province.
POSITION SECURED BY STRATEGY
The Spaniards Believed the Cubans
Were at Cacarajacara Town of
Artemisa Bombarded.
Key West, Oct. 26. Well-informed
passengers who arrived from Havana
last night confirm advices received by
mail that Maceo has crossed the trocha
at Artemisa and joined other insurgent
forces in Havana province. They de
clared that the report circulated by
Maceo of his encampment at Cacaraja
cara and a con eiiipluted attack on that
town was merely a feint of' the rebel
leader to concentrate the Spanish troops
at that point. That the ruse was suc
cessful is proved by the fact that General
Genzales Muniz, with large forces, was
sent in that direction to attack Maceo,
but upon their arrival at Cacarajacara
the Spaniards found nothing but a de
serted CHI!, p.
Maceo's followers under forced marches
then uixdrt h detour to the southward
and suddenly appeared at Artemisa, the
central post on the line of the trocha.
Giving his men temporary rest, the in
surgent chief sent word to the com
mandant that he intended to bombard
the town, giving the inhabitants five
hours in winch in It-ave ihe eiry. Not
heeding Maceo's threats, the Spaniards
would permit no one to leave. There
eult is known from the reports which
have already been cabled from Havana.
Maceo opened fire on 'the town with
his artillery and thirty shots from the
rebel dynamite guns were thrown into
the city. Every building is said to have
been leveled while the slaughter of non
combatants was appalling. During the
carnage Maceo and his followeis crossed
the line of the trocha into Havana
province, where they will be joined by
the forces of General Aguirre.

Constantinople, Oct. 25, via Sofia,
Bnlgaria, Oct. 26. (Copyrighted, 1896,
by the Associated Press.) The report
that trouble of a serious nature is brew
ing here has so often been sent ont that
any fresh announcement to that effect is
looked apon as having little or no found
ation, but in spite of this it is but right
to state that once more everything points
to the fact that further very serious
trouble is preparing on all sides through
out the Turkish empire.
The ball was set rolling on Wednesday
last, when the sultxn signed two irades
levying a poll tax of five piastres a head
on all Mussulmans" and ti creasing the
taxes on sfieep, public works and educa
tion froui 1 to 1 W per cent, the funds so
raised to be devoted to military pur
poses. This caused the rej resmitatives
of the powers to Eend b colli ctive note to
the porte, couched in the strongest
language, calling attention to the danger
the arming of Mussulmans whs certain
to create and pointing ont the generally
critical situation of affairs in the Turkish
empire.
Large purchaees of arms have already
been mad ami the danger is increasing
hourly. The porte today sent a reply to
the collective note of the ambassadors.
As usual it was evasive and in substance
simply stated that the money derived
from the additional taxes was only in
tended to complete the armament of the
Mustaphas of Landstrurn, the third and
last class of Turkish army reserves, and
strengthen the a'rmameut of the other
land forces.
The action of the Turkish government
indicates that the empire is facing a sit
uation, which may necessitate the calling
forth of all the military forces at its dis
posal, and it also indicates that the situ
ation is the gravest since the Russo
Turkish war. Of course there is always
in view a probability at least that the
sultan by these movements is simply
seeking to distract the attention of his
subjects from the actual state of affairs
brought about by bis maladministration.
Seeing that the powers are really in
earnest and that the understanding be
tween P.oasia,. France and Great Britain
means decisive action, he is by arma

ments practically threatening the' whole
sale massacre of Christians and announc
ing that Turkey will resist to the utmost
any attack from the outside.
Happily there is one feature of the
crisis which has a soething influence
upon Abdul Hamid. This is the finan
cial situation. It is nltout as bad .as it
possibly can be. All negotiations upon
the part of the Turkish government for a
temporary loan have failed, and the con
dition of the treasury ig one of utter
helplessness. On tojs of this the price of
bread has risen 40 per cent, and bids
fair to rise still higher as the price of
wheat goes up. . This has decidedly ag
gravated the prevailing distress and con
sequent discontent.
The police continue making arrests.
It is understood that many more bombs
have been found. In Armenia, the
greatest apprehension exists. Rumors
of a recent massacre in Eiiin are just
reaching here, in spite of etl'orts made
by the porte to suppress anything but
official news.
