Mrs McKlnley's Corn Hat.
Washington, Oct. 2ft.— Among the
Curiosities that Mrs. Mckinley has just
added to the White house museum is a
hat made entirely of corn. The hat
was stnt to the President's wife from
Atchison, Kan., where it has figured
\n the great corn carnival, which
takes place annually in that city to
celebrate the success of the season's
yield. The hat which has been sent
Jo Mrs McKinley was voted the most
unique and dainty production of the
corn festival It was designed and
made by Mrs. H. J. Cusack, of Atch-
ison. . . ,
Secretary (Jage Outlines to the Cabinet
a Scheme for Currency Reform
Washington, Oct 2 5.—The cabinet
: session yesterday was very brief and
devoted to department matters. Sec-
retary Gage presented thg question of
advisability of a reform in the designs
i of United States paper money. Sec-
I retary Gage's plan is to have one de-
sign for the three $1 notes, another
for the §2's and so on up to 81,000, the
highest. In order that the three
j classes of paper money may be read-
! ily distinguished, the seals and the
numbers in each class will be printed
in distinctive colors. The secretary
argued that the new designs would,
in a great measufe prevent the rais-
ing of notes, as the design would at
once identify the denomination, inde-
pendent of the numerals.
At the cabinet meeting ex-Secretary
Carlisle saw the president, but would
say nothing concerning the object of
his visit. •
New York, Oct. 2.S.—The "lenry
George campaign committee and the
United Democracy's managers have
issued a joint circular declaring the
election for mayor of Greater New
York one of national importance and
urging all followers of W. J. Bryan to
rally to the support of the Chicago
platform, cautioning all such especi-
ally to vote against all candidates who
voted against Bryau last year. This
is equivalent to a request by the
George men to voters to scratch part
of their own ticket, because the
George men have indorsed the Citi-
zen's Union county ticket, some of
whom are anti-Bryanites.
The Tammany men are bitterly in-
cense-1 against Henry George because
of hi* ''"claration that if he had the
power lit would commit Croker to the
penitentiary.
George is unquestionably the central
figure in the campaign. Upon the
vote which he is able to attract will
depend, in a great measure, the result
of the election. Competent, judges
expect him to split *the Democratic
vote in half.
The most peculiar feature of the
whole unique campaign, however, is
the inactivity of the Tammany organ-
ization. «Only two attempts at big
meetings have Jieen made up to date,
and both were failures. The absence
of enthusiasm in and around the wig-
wam and even in the Tammany
strongholds is most suggestive. Van
Wyck himself has made but one pub-
lic appearance in the campaign, aud
that was only scmi-public. It was the
notification meeting in the Hoffman
house, and there is little likelihood
that he will make a single speech dur-
ing the balance of the fight
The only thing in the way of cam-
paigning that Tammany has done has
been the placarding of cars and "L"
railroad stations and the formation of
betting pools. Two brokers are en-
gaged to appear on' the stock ex-
sliange. One offers phenomenal odds
on Van Wyck and against the other
candidates, and the other promptly
takes the bet, and it is registered as
an expression of opinion on the result
of the election.
Dozens of mass meetings were held
iast night in all parts of the new city
and speeches were made by all of the
leaders.
MURDER AT PARKVILLE.
Charles Grant of Kansas City Stabs Ills
Wife to Death.
PaKkVILI.e, Mo., Oct. 25.—Charles
! A. Grant, who runs an elevator in the
Keith & Perry building at Kansas
City, murdered his wife in this city
last night and then gave himself up
to the police.
Grant, accompanied by his brother-
; in-law,« Charles Caldwell, arrived in
! Parkville on the 'J:40 train, and the
two went straightway to the home of
G. Hughes, where Grant found his
wife. Mrs. Grant came to Parkville a
week ago on the pretext that her
brother-in-law, John Watson, was
dangerously ill. Days passed, and as
she did not return Grant became sus-
picious. His unexpected arrival at
the Hughes house confirmed his sus-
picion and the tragedy followed.
Corsets Save Her.
Providence, R. I., Oct. 25.—Miss
Daisy T. Coulters, a pretty Brown
university student, 2i years old, was
mysteriously shot late last night while
seated at the front window of her
father's home in Auburn, a suburb of
this city. The would-be murderer
stood close to the window and fired a
shotgun, which was loaded with slugs
and birdshot The charge entered
Miss Coulter's right breast and but
for the deflection caused by her corset
stays would have caused instant death.
As it is she is in a precarious condi-
tion since the surgeons dislodged the
bullets, which work took three hours.
Speculative Contracts.
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct 25.—The
Iowa supreme court has rendered an
important decision affecting the le-
gality of contracts between grain
speculators. In the case of Counsel-
man & • Co. vb. Michael Reichart,
brought up from the Cass district
court, the court declared that "con-
tracts for grain, where the intention
is merely a speculation on the chances
of the rise or fall of the market, and
no delivery is intended, are gambling
contracts and void."
Miss Clsneros at the White House.
Washington, Oct 25.—The Presi-
dent gave a public reception this af-
ternoon, at which a large number of
callers paid their respects to him in
the East room. Among them were
Miss Cossio Cisneros. the escaped Cu-
ban girl. She was accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Karl Decker and Mrs.
John A. Logan. Mrs. Logan intro-
duced the party.
