Month's Respite Steps Rush
of Contributions.
MORE MONEY STILL NEEDED.
Brother of the Captured Missionary
Wishes Activity for the Fund , to
Continue U'ntll Full Amount of Ran-
com Is Secured ,
Boston , Oct. 9. No additional state
ment of money received for the ransom
fund for Miss Stone was given out by
Kldder , Peabody & Co. after the ono
last night showing $49.574.61 In cash
and $7,000 In unpaid pledges. This
made the total $50,574.61 , to which
will bo added this morning the sums
received ever night. The rush of con
tributors Is over , because of the opin
ion that the critical moment has boon
averted and that the additional
month's time offers additional oppor
tunity to add to the fund. Charles
Stone , brother of the captive mission
ary , wishes activity for the fund to
continue for a few days longer. Ho
hopes that the cable dispatches indi
cating that the brigands have granted
a month's time are right , although ho
has no personal ossuranci > of that
fact , having repeatedly sent messages
to both Constantinople and Samokav.
< He says the Idea that he had stated
that no more money Is needed , be
cause enough has been given , Is
wrong. He Is still anxious of getting
the total of $110.000.
, * Says Turks Are to Blame.
London , Oct. 9. The Dally Mall has
received the following dispatch from
Its Vienna correspondent : "In reply tea
a telegram I addressed to him today ,
General Zontzehow , president of the
Macedonian committee , denies that
the committee had anything to do
with the abduction of Miss Stone. Ho
added that the committee desires the
support of the civilized world for the
Macedonian cause and therefore would
not commit such a folly. The Turks
'did the deed and Turkey must be
made responsible. " M. Danew , the Bul
garian minister , Indignantly denies
the assertion that the Bulgarian gov
ernment Is not doing Its best to res
cue Miss Stono. Ho says 3,000 troops
are engaged In the search for her. "
HAVE FAITH IN UNCLE SAM.
President Capen Describes Work Done
for Miss Stone's Release.
Hartford , Conn. , Oct. 9. After devo
tional exercises at last evening's ses-
sion of the American board , president
Capen read the oflicial report of the
board concerning the captivity and
ransom of Miss Ellen M. Stone. The
report wrs as follows :
"There Is such universal Interest In
the case of Miss Ellen M. Stone , now
In the hands of the brigands , that It
seems wise for the officers of the board
to make a brief statement of the facts
as they exist at the present time. Kor
several weeks the government officials
at Washington has been at work , using
every possible effort to secure her re
lease.
"The solicitude of the committee
was such that they sent a dci'ecntlon
to Washington to meet President
Roosevelt and the officials of the state
department. This conference was
held last Saturday forenoon. It was
Impossible to overstate the sympathy !
of the president and the state officials.
The friends of the board and the whole
nation can be assured that everything
yjcsslble Is being done to further the
recovery of Miss Stone. The heart and
the persistence of the president In
this effort were most significant. They
assured us that apparently at the mp-
ment the only practicable method to
Becure her life was to have the funds
promptly at hand to pay the ransom.
It was evidently the positive convic
tion of the government that this step
' was the first one to be taken. But It
ought to be clearly understood that
this Is but ono step ; u..it when she Is
released there will be a vlgbrous at
tempt not only to secure the return
of the money , but , ' furthermore , to
brlng about such conditions that such
an occurrence shall not be possible 'fn
the future. "

\ \ "IV/iy Should CaJ J
' ; lamily Be Full of
: ; Words ? "
The mere saying of words is f
easy , and some men devote
their whole lives to it. They
talk rather than act. The ca
lamity howlers in any commu
nity are of this kind.
While the unsuccessful busi
ness man is talking the success
ful man is , acting. When he ' ;
speaks * he uses words , but he < >
tells facts. He seldom , however - < >
ever , depends upon his own <
voice.
He brings to his aid the trumpet tongucd
voice of tie press.
He purchases space in the
advertising columns of his local
paper , and he uses it to good
advantage.
This is your local paper ;
There is space in these ! col
umns for use. Are you add- $
, < J ing its strength to your voice ? *
