At this morning's meeting he confessed to the ambition of converting the Pope at Rome. He said the Pope was a nice Christian gentleman and not a mudslinger. "Several times," continued Dowie, "members of the Roman Catholic church have tried to bring me over to Rome. Now, the Roman Catholic church and the Christian Catholic church , are very much alike, and I'm going to bring them all over to me, the Pope included. They will all have to come to sue."

"At a meeting of the board of directors of the First National Bank, of Allegheny, held this evening Oct. 21, 1903, it was resolved that, although the bank has ample assets to pay all depositors in full and leave a handsome surplus for the shareholders, its supposed connection with the Federal National Bank, of Pittsburg, has created wide distrust and caused a run on this bank to such an extent that we feel it our duty to place the bank in voluntary liquidation, and the officers of the bank are directed to make application to the comptroller of the currency to take the necessary steps to accomplish this purpose. (Signed) John Thompson, president First National Bank, of Allegheny." I!y operation of the statute of limitations and the attorney general's interpretation of the law, which makes it a "misdemeanor" punishable by a line of $3,000 for a member of congress to be directly or Indirectly interested in a government contract, it is understood Mr. Llttaner has been plated out of danger of criminal action, i The great gathering wns full of pent up excitement and hostility from the very sturt, and, ulthough there were 700 policemen on the scene, it soon became apparent that a demonstration of extraordinary magnitude would follow any attempt to hold the meeting. Even before the services began there were riotous incidents, in which several men were ejected from the buildiug. Several personal encounters took place between Zlon guards and spectators In various parts of the vast amphitheater.

The attorney general's opluion was made public this morning. GAVE BRYAN $50,000. The case, wliich lias been marked by u rigid investigation in the war department, was started in bankruptcy proceedings early last July against E. R. Lyon, a furrier, of New York. The evidence disclosed letters between Mr. Lyon and Representative Littauer In regard to a division of money accruing from government contracts. 15 Sonth Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS the CHEAPEST WILKESBARRE'S LATEST NEWS Mystery of Sealed Envelope In Phllo N5w Haven, Conn., Oct. 22.—William J. Bryan testified in the probate court here that the sealed letter referred to In the will of the late Phllo S. Bennett of this city and New York contained a request that Mr. Bryan should accept $50,000, of which $10,000 was to go to Mrs. Bryan and $15,000 to their three children. 8. Bennett Will Explained, It was thought yesterday that the Flfst National bank, of Allegheny, would not be seriously affected by the failure of the Federal National, but the fact that the Allegheny bank cleared for the Pittsburg institution at the Pittsburg Clearing House led to suspicions, and the lack of confidence on the part of the public resulted in the decision of the directors /j go into voluntary' liquidation and wind up its affairs before losses were suffered. Control of the Allegheny bank was secured by the Federal National last June by purchasing a majority of the stock at *175 ag share. It Is doubtful if ever in the history of the Garden there lias been a gathering of such magnitude as was Inside and outside of the building lust night. EVANS BROS. Serious Fire This Afternoon —Unknown Man Commits Suicide. The great audience inside began to show Its hostility almost as soon as it was seated. In four parts of the building were as many big squads of Columbia students, and these nt intervals broke out into the college yells, ending with "Peace to thee," the salutation of "Elijah III.'s" followers. Police were hurried to these four centers of disturbance and surrounded the students in solid squares, but there were other centers of disturbance in so many parts of the building that it was difficult to locate them. The war department investigation did not disclose just when Mr. Littauer and Mr. Lyon had a settlement, but it is believed that it was established three years ago, and therefore the statute of limitations operates. The transactions, according to Mr. Littauer himself, consisted of Mr. Lyon obtaining the contract for 30,0(11 pairs of gauntlets at $1.70 a pair. Then Mr. Littauer undertook to furnish iiim these gauntlets at $1.05 a pair. The letter was opened by the court, but was not read aloud. Mr. Bryan Was to invest the money for the children until it should amount to $7,000 for each. The mystery of the sealed envelope mentioned in the will of the late rhllo S. Bennett has thus been unraveled.Best Patent Flour Feed, per 100 Potatoes, per busliel Granulated Sugar, 19 lbs. Butter, per lb Cheese, per lb $5.00 1.30 .70 1.00 A fire originated on Cummlskey St., Wilkesbarre, this afternoon, while all the companies of the city Are department were being inspected on the river bank. The flames made such headway that before the firemen could reach the conflagration three houses were destroyed and several barns were ablaze, with a number of houses in danger because of the high wind. The flames started in a double house owned by Mrs. Samuel Morgan, wife of the fire boss at No. 20 mine, of the Lehigh & Wfllkesbarre Coal Co. The house adjoining was owned by Mrs. Anna Qulnn and was occupied by the family of John Flynn. Most of tho household goods in all three houses were destroyed and the loss amounts to $fi,000. ,13ft Mr. Bennett, the testator, was a New York merchant and a member of the firm of Bennett & Sloan. He was killed in a stagecoach accident in Idaho. The sealed envelope which has been in the custody of the Mercantile Trust company of New York was produced in court. Sirs. Bennett, the widow, refused to open the envelope. The court took official cognizance of the document and tore it open, giving counsel on opportunity to read its provisions. Mr. Littauer declares that Secretary Root's statement when the case was submitted to Attorney General Knox was a "sweeping vindication" for him, although it might be possible he was guilty of technical violation of the law.

Then there were cheers and cat calls. 4-2 N. MAIN. Next to Eagle Hotel UNDERWEAR 8AM PARKS ARRAIGNED. (y^ruri/'s prices Men's Underwear; best value in the city for the money. Placed Under $5,000 Bail Today to An. Washington, Oct. 22. — The United States government will not entertain the idea of a larger payment to Colombia for the canal franchise. This Is learned on high authority. The pre»l-dent will not consent to any modification of the terms laid down in the Ilay- Herian treaty. The haggling over the price to be paid for the franchise will be treated with complete indifference. If Colombia is to get more she must look elsewhere than to the United States. There is reason to believe that the president has made his determination clear in a way to be understood by the canal company. Offer to Colombia Was Final, •wer the Charge of Perjury. New York, Oct. 22.—After waiting two hours in the criminal court building for his bondsman, John J. Byrne, Sam Parks was arraigned in the court of general sessions today. Through his counsel.

' Charles B. White, Minneapolis Company Fails. This morning, at his residence, on the corner of River and Ross streets, Wilkesbarre, Charles Blackman White, one of the best known newspaper men of the valley, died at the age of 44 years and one day. The cause of death was dropsy, from which Mr. White had been a sufferer for some time, though the disease did not take fatal hold on him until less than a week ago, for last Thursday he was at his desk in the Wilkesbarre Leader office. Mr. White 'was born in Ashley, Oct. 21, 1859, his parents having been Rev. John White and wife. Tho latter, Me- Jinda Blackman, was a descendant of one of the oldest families in this valley. Mr. White, at a comparatively early age, commenced to work for the Gazette and after being some time employee! on this paper took up the painting trade in the Ashley shops of the Jersey Central. While at his work he gave considerable time to study and after several' years took a position as printer on the old Wilkesbarre Leader. Some time later he became a member of the staff, leaving that position to accept the city editorship of the Wilkesbarre Times. Last June, he gave up his position on the Times and returned to the Leader. Illness slowly growing on him interfered to a great extent with his work, but he held bravely on until nature could withstand the ravages of disease no longer. In his long connection with newspaper work, Mr. White became well known as a writer and was an occasional contributor to magazines and papers outside this valley. He was one of the best known newspaper men in this region. On June 19, 1889, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Ford man, at Ashley. Besides his wife, he Is, survived by one brother, Willlami D.

"Several times," continued Dowie, "members of the Roman Catholic church have tried to bring me over to Rome. Now, the Roman Catholic church and the Christian Catholic church , are very much alike, and I'm going to bring them all over to me, the Pope included. They will all have to come to sue."

"At a meeting of the board of directors of the First National Bank, of Allegheny, held this evening Oct. 21, 1903, it was resolved that, although the bank has ample assets to pay all depositors in full and leave a handsome surplus for the shareholders, its supposed connection with the Federal National Bank, of Pittsburg, has created wide distrust and caused a run on this bank to such an extent that we feel it our duty to place the bank in voluntary liquidation, and the officers of the bank are directed to make application to the comptroller of the currency to take the necessary steps to accomplish this purpose. (Signed) John Thompson, president First National Bank, of Allegheny." I!y operation of the statute of limitations and the attorney general's interpretation of the law, which makes it a "misdemeanor" punishable by a line of $3,000 for a member of congress to be directly or Indirectly interested in a government contract, it is understood Mr. Llttaner has been plated out of danger of criminal action, i The great gathering wns full of pent up excitement and hostility from the very sturt, and, ulthough there were 700 policemen on the scene, it soon became apparent that a demonstration of extraordinary magnitude would follow any attempt to hold the meeting. Even before the services began there were riotous incidents, in which several men were ejected from the buildiug. Several personal encounters took place between Zlon guards and spectators In various parts of the vast amphitheater.

The attorney general's opluion was made public this morning. GAVE BRYAN $50,000. The case, wliich lias been marked by u rigid investigation in the war department, was started in bankruptcy proceedings early last July against E. R. Lyon, a furrier, of New York. The evidence disclosed letters between Mr. Lyon and Representative Littauer In regard to a division of money accruing from government contracts. 15 Sonth Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS the CHEAPEST WILKESBARRE'S LATEST NEWS Mystery of Sealed Envelope In Phllo N5w Haven, Conn., Oct. 22.—William J. Bryan testified in the probate court here that the sealed letter referred to In the will of the late Phllo S. Bennett of this city and New York contained a request that Mr. Bryan should accept $50,000, of which $10,000 was to go to Mrs. Bryan and $15,000 to their three children. 8. Bennett Will Explained, It was thought yesterday that the Flfst National bank, of Allegheny, would not be seriously affected by the failure of the Federal National, but the fact that the Allegheny bank cleared for the Pittsburg institution at the Pittsburg Clearing House led to suspicions, and the lack of confidence on the part of the public resulted in the decision of the directors /j go into voluntary' liquidation and wind up its affairs before losses were suffered. Control of the Allegheny bank was secured by the Federal National last June by purchasing a majority of the stock at *175 ag share. It Is doubtful if ever in the history of the Garden there lias been a gathering of such magnitude as was Inside and outside of the building lust night. EVANS BROS. Serious Fire This Afternoon —Unknown Man Commits Suicide. The great audience inside began to show Its hostility almost as soon as it was seated. In four parts of the building were as many big squads of Columbia students, and these nt intervals broke out into the college yells, ending with "Peace to thee," the salutation of "Elijah III.'s" followers. Police were hurried to these four centers of disturbance and surrounded the students in solid squares, but there were other centers of disturbance in so many parts of the building that it was difficult to locate them. The war department investigation did not disclose just when Mr. Littauer and Mr. Lyon had a settlement, but it is believed that it was established three years ago, and therefore the statute of limitations operates. The transactions, according to Mr. Littauer himself, consisted of Mr. Lyon obtaining the contract for 30,0(11 pairs of gauntlets at $1.70 a pair. Then Mr. Littauer undertook to furnish iiim these gauntlets at $1.05 a pair. The letter was opened by the court, but was not read aloud. Mr. Bryan Was to invest the money for the children until it should amount to $7,000 for each. The mystery of the sealed envelope mentioned in the will of the late rhllo S. Bennett has thus been unraveled.Best Patent Flour Feed, per 100 Potatoes, per busliel Granulated Sugar, 19 lbs. Butter, per lb Cheese, per lb $5.00 1.30 .70 1.00 A fire originated on Cummlskey St., Wilkesbarre, this afternoon, while all the companies of the city Are department were being inspected on the river bank. The flames made such headway that before the firemen could reach the conflagration three houses were destroyed and several barns were ablaze, with a number of houses in danger because of the high wind. The flames started in a double house owned by Mrs. Samuel Morgan, wife of the fire boss at No. 20 mine, of the Lehigh & Wfllkesbarre Coal Co. The house adjoining was owned by Mrs. Anna Qulnn and was occupied by the family of John Flynn. Most of tho household goods in all three houses were destroyed and the loss amounts to $fi,000. ,13ft Mr. Bennett, the testator, was a New York merchant and a member of the firm of Bennett & Sloan. He was killed in a stagecoach accident in Idaho. The sealed envelope which has been in the custody of the Mercantile Trust company of New York was produced in court. Sirs. Bennett, the widow, refused to open the envelope. The court took official cognizance of the document and tore it open, giving counsel on opportunity to read its provisions. Mr. Littauer declares that Secretary Root's statement when the case was submitted to Attorney General Knox was a "sweeping vindication" for him, although it might be possible he was guilty of technical violation of the law.

This Is learned on high authority. The pre»l-dent will not consent to any modification of the terms laid down in the Ilay- Herian treaty. The haggling over the price to be paid for the franchise will be treated with complete indifference. If Colombia is to get more she must look elsewhere than to the United States. There is reason to believe that the president has made his determination clear in a way to be understood by the canal company. Offer to Colombia Was Final, •wer the Charge of Perjury. New York, Oct. 22.—After waiting two hours in the criminal court building for his bondsman, John J. Byrne, Sam Parks was arraigned in the court of general sessions today. Through his counsel.

' Charles B. White, Minneapolis Company Fails. This morning, at his residence, on the corner of River and Ross streets, Wilkesbarre, Charles Blackman White, one of the best known newspaper men of the valley, died at the age of 44 years and one day. The cause of death was dropsy, from which Mr. White had been a sufferer for some time, though the disease did not take fatal hold on him until less than a week ago, for last Thursday he was at his desk in the Wilkesbarre Leader office. Mr. White 'was born in Ashley, Oct. 21, 1859, his parents having been Rev. John White and wife. Tho latter, Me- Jinda Blackman, was a descendant of one of the oldest families in this valley. Mr. White, at a comparatively early age, commenced to work for the Gazette and after being some time employee! on this paper took up the painting trade in the Ashley shops of the Jersey Central. While at his work he gave considerable time to study and after several' years took a position as printer on the old Wilkesbarre Leader. Some time later he became a member of the staff, leaving that position to accept the city editorship of the Wilkesbarre Times. Last June, he gave up his position on the Times and returned to the Leader. Illness slowly growing on him interfered to a great extent with his work, but he held bravely on until nature could withstand the ravages of disease no longer. In his long connection with newspaper work, Mr. White became well known as a writer and was an occasional contributor to magazines and papers outside this valley. He was one of the best known newspaper men in this region. On June 19, 1889, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Ford man, at Ashley. Besides his wife, he Is, survived by one brother, Willlami D.
