WHERE SUPERSTITION IS DEVELOPED VERY HIGHLY. Actors Believed by the Profession to Be Always the Unluckiest of Mortals—Recent Protest of an English Hoodoo—Hells of the Misfortunes of the Blight—An Actress Whose Name Is Associated With Bnd Luck—Causes of the Belief. An English actor whose name has been well known in theatricals for nearly forty years, has protested emphatically against the misfortunes of the Hoodoo and has been identified with a much greater number of failures than falling to the average player. "This remark," he said in effect, "was made about me by a friend about fifteen years ago after the failure of a play in which I had a part. How does one make it, always unlucky." The man who said that intended it as an expression of sympathy, but it has cost me the money I have made have made a successful actor, and has possibly put my career under a blight since it began to spread through the profession." "Every actor cannot appear always in successful plays. He is bound to take part in failures, and I don't think I had an experience in any more than fails to the usual let alone the impression got around that I was unlucky in my influence on productions. Managers did not care to engage me, for they are sometimes superstitious. The reason that anything I was concerned in work with the impression that I was to exercise some baleful influence on every play » as also communicated to them. So my professorship was been worked by a careless remark of the unlucky until the impression got about that I failed always and so did everybody connected with me. I attained as many successes as any actor who meets his regular intercession of good plays and bad ones." If this actor had lived in the United States he would have been known as a hooodoo and his career prowess the existence of the same superstition here as in France. The actors he presumably for no more fault than the actors he case just mentioned, seem to be looked unlikely to any theatrical venues, questionable and may be. One notable case of this, if the New York Sum is to be believed, is that the fact had a long a career which began in the branch of her profession from the time she is now active. She has always occupied the role and at one time promised to take a brilliant role that was never realized and is now not so no more to be. By what could have been no more complete failures, if she had not, at all, been a share of the attention devoted to the stage, nobody would have known that she was a hooodoo, had refused for several seasons a role, had been a theater any company in which she was. He looked upon her as a hooodoo and felt that he would have a failure on his hands. "Look here," said an agent to him one day. "I want to get three weeks' time at the station to play the Rihmstone Pin, which is located in York. We think the play is a good one, have engaged a first-class company, and here is the list of actors." The name of the taboed leading woman was in the cast. "I wouldn't take you in on any terms," was the manager's answer, "as long as a bohemian is in the company. She is a bohemian and she has been here every play was a failure. Two of those plays were produced made myself with every chance of success and I engaged her. So I can't book you." "I will tell you what I will do," was the manager's answer, "so you are possible to change the cast on account of any superstition against her. She has put that suit her business and she could do it as well. If the play doesn't go well on some one else, the first thing get some on her, and she believes forever after that you are right." Boston manager had the satisfaction early in the season, when the new play had not been on the road for more than a year, of seeing the unhappy actress replaced by a successful enterprise was successful, and after the objectionable member of the company was seasoned at the theatre, his superstition seemed to be verified, although as a woman concerned in the play was unfortunate she had a part unsuited to her. It was more adapted to the personality and the situation, and the phase of change was sufficient to make a success of what might have been a failure with an appropriately fitted phase of it inappropriately fitted after. But to this day the actress is known as a hoodoo in her profession. Managers of the profession often session looks upon her as one of its predestined unfortunate members who exercises a spell almost as bad as the hoodoo itself. The business. From a matter-of-fact point of view it is almost impossible to sympathize with the idea, and the facts of her failures could he explained in a much more practical manner whether the woman known or not was a hoodoo. An unlucky influence nobody has ever heard. It ought not to bother her as she did not to keep the managers for whose production she had been. In spite of the prejudice against her, she has always been able, to obtain engagement, to keep her employed and to accumulate her wealth in petency as a result of her long labors. During recent seasons, however, she appeared usually in combinations of a less pretentious order than those in which Prosperity and the hoodoo are by no means irreconcilable. A popular comedian who was a hoodoo long time ago, took with him into prison, small fortune, quite sufficient for his business, he had come to be looked upon as the hoodoo could never, by any chance, be connected with a success, and was said to bring to him the business of every body associated with him by business. The disparity between the actual facts and the common impression about a per- person is shown in his case, for instead of being taken to be, he was quietly laxed taken to be he was quietly laxed a competency in spite of few brilliant successes. This impression about him existed, but it also accounted for a larger money and might have to be less saving about it. Another comedian who acts in comie opera now as often as he did in the past has been looked upon by managers as a boo-doo, whose existence it is impossible to counteract. what it would be when I engaged Will," and a manager the other day, "and I don't know that I would have had it, could have put my hands just at that, I could have put my hands for the part. He was the easiest man to get and willing to what I wanted him, I was against my own judgment and hired him to show the show was any good or not, and whether it had any real chances of succeeding, the sky-high one took Will to knock them sky-high and took house in two weeks. Business had been before I put him in the cast, but it was only 50 per cent as soon as he appeared." This experience, of course, satisfied one more manager that the unfortunate actor was a hoodoo, when, as a matter of fact he had been called in to take the part of a more expensive and popular performer, who was the sole attraction of a weak comic opera. It could never have been made a success under any circumstances, and with the retirement of the one popular feature in it, the end came quickly. It is from such accidental experiences as this that the actor may acquire a reputation as a hoodoo, when he is nothing of the kind, and might, under favorable circumstances, prove a valuable member of a company. Just now one of the most popular actresses in New York is a woman who, a few years ago, came within an ace of being declared a hoodoo. She was disadvantageously placed in poor or unattractive plays, and the public interest in her was not commensurate to her great talent. She was charming personally and the public liked her, but did not turn out to be a member of the same队伍. There was her a success flamboyant. This, in which her plays following one another, in which her acting was praised without attracting the public, gave grounds for the growing theory that she, too, might develop into a hoodoo. One successful, well written play, in which her own work was no better than it had been in half a dozen others before, was enough to take a firm hold on public taste, and there will never in the future be any discussion of this young woman as a hoodoo. A Sun reporter asked a manager the other day how actors came to be hoodies, or at least, came to be thought so by members of their profession. "It happens in this way," he said. "After an actor or an actress has acquired a certain prominence and is able to demand a certain salary the manager who engages them relies in a measure on their share in making his enterprise a success. If it all's on account of the quality of the play itself, or for any other reason not connected with the abilities or personalities of the actor, the manager is likely to mark down the place on the stage. It is likely everybody concerned in it as having done their part in accomplishing that result. After a man or a woman has been identified for two or three years with unsuccessful plays it takes a mighty far-seeing, unbiased man to have confidence in their abilities and to believe that the failure would have come apart from what they did. A manager is likely to approach every new production with as much uncertainty and nervousness as if it were the most important he had ever made. I have known men to control half a dozen important theatrical enterprises at once; yet on the day preceding the least important play they undertake their nervousness and apprehension will be just as great as if they had never been through what experience before. If it falls in their way may be good losers and take the event philosophically; but before its production they will neglect no precaution to insure success and be very respectful of what may seem like mere superstition. "If it comes to the question of engaging a man or woman who has been identified with failures, they are likely to look everywhere else before settling on them. Naturally, these people find it harder to get the best engagements. More fallures mean the strengthening of the prejudice against them, and it takes considerable strength of character on the part of a man or woman to struggle against this sort of opinion when it begins to exist. If a man happens to be a star and continues to fall, he will drop out of that position, unless he has the money or a manager who has confidence enough in him to continue the effort until luck has turned. It is not a difficult matter for a star who has been a failure in that capacity to find employment in less exacting positions. The same thing is true of a woman. It is the stock actor or actress who has never emerged from that sphere on whom the blight of the hoodoo rests most heavily. It is impossible for him to drop back, because he has never got out of the ranks. So, gradually, these actors find employment more difficult to obtain, have to work with smaller companies, and find their professional career is to lie in very humble lives." "Mind you, I have no belief in the theory that any man or woman ever acts scientifically competent and talented to play the part that falls to them. Some persons more knowledgeable for the public than other; but no play that is good in every particular, or, at all events, good enough to make factic, because going to play this man or woman with a past full of failures happens to play a leading or important role. At the same time, I am not engaged, if I could help it, anybody who had come to be looked upon as a hoochoo. I am not prejudiced against them and I am not prejudiced against the play's success or failure, but, at the same time, I would rather have somebody who knew when I pick out a company of actors."

GOM PAUL KENTUCKY DEMOCRAT KENTUCKY REPUBLICAN Dame-Europe—Help! Help, Good Sir! Dame-Europe--Help! Help, Good Sir! Uncle Sam--Beg Pardon, Madam, but here is a little affair at home that may keep my hands pretty full for a while. IT is a battle of giants—this struggle between Clark gnd-Daly, the Montana copper kings, over the former's right to sit in the United States senate, bolt culmination of the long, picturse feud between these two rivals for the control of the politics of a state—these two self-made millionaires whose lives were cut off in the development of the material resources of Montana, the two men who have nothing in common—but a mighty ambition, Montana—that is the prize. Each of these men has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to win the prize. Money in blocks of tens of thousands has been given out with such a free hand that the older politicians of the East have stood amazed as the story of the feud has been unfolded at the national capital. Fortune and fame have been won by these two men side by side in the mines of Montana. Daly is now worth $20,000. He was a miner, and Clark was the first in the field. When Daly went to Butte he had heavy financial backing, but he did not have any money to pay for his most a practical miner—not a common laborer or a good hand in a mine only, though he could do a day's work beside him. He worked in orches and to mine them. Clark was Dame-Europe—Help! Help, G. Uncle Sam—Beg Pardon, Mada first and foremost a banker. Years before Daly went to Montana Clark had proved himself a money maker, as a merchant and a money lender, and when he was a banker he had interests that were yielding handsome returns. After Daly had spent a year or two in the Butte mines he realized, before any one else, that the great wealth of the state was in the mountains of the district. With his backing Daly was the advantage of the situation. After he had secure mines and water right he got a town site twenty miles from Butte. Then he knew his mines would require immense resources and the tracts of forest lands and put in the largest saw mills in the Northwest. He knew he would need fuel, and he bought coal mines and coal prospects. Then he and his employees supplied the mines and his employees would situate an immense business in itself, and he organised a company to handle that branch of the business. Suddenly Clark and the whole state awoke to a realization that he was not the only financially referred to by the so-called “financials” of Helena and Butte as the “financials” of Helena and Butte as a power in the land, and that he had under his control more empires than each month in wages thousands of dollars more than all of his rivals put together. Up to the time Daly got all of his enterprises in good running shape he did not take any interest in politics. When Clark, Hauser and other old-time Democratic politicians began to figure on their chances of carrying the state, as they had in past years, they discovered that Daly had to be reckoned with. He had an army of men in his employ, and because he had been their friend the members of this army were absolutely loyal to him and would do as he asked. The politicians went to Daly for his support. He knew them, knew how they regarded him, and was not inclined to add them. Just about this time another figure loomed on the Democratic horizon in Montana. It was that of Charles A. Broadwater of Helena. Broadwater had been engaged in the freighting business in the northern part of the state for many years, and had made a comfortable fortune. He did not stand high in the estimation of the old Democratic league. They called him the "bull whacker," and regarded him as in the same class as the "Irish mine boss." But Broadwater was a big man, generous, kind, true to his friends, and he had as many followers in the northern part of the state as Daly had among the miners. Somehow or other Daly and Broadwater drifted together. They had many impulses in common, though Broadwater was a politician and Daly was not. Through Broadwater's influence Daly agreed to take an active part in politics. Thus was the big four in Montana Democratic politics constituted, but there was never a union of the four in the true party. The Democratic party could never rid themselves of the feeling that Daly and Broadway were interlopers. While in the heat of a campaign rally, the party's enemy had been met Daly and Broadwater felt the other two were endeavoring to appropriate all the fruits of a victory which was due to the joint efforts of Daly and Broadway, and to eight years ago, and since that time it has been Daly alone against Clark and Hauser. In 1896 Hauser, who had been rated as several times a millionaire, went to the polls. Good Sir! m, but here is a little affair at home that may keep president having failed, with liabilities of $4,000,000, scattered all over the state. Daly is a great believer in the young man, but he continually pushes him forward, and, in turn, he is not an indiscriminate, giver of money, however. His attention is called to some young fellow who is struggling with his life, and is worthy, is moral, and has brain. Daly puts him in the way to make money. If he shows that he is worthy of the assist, he then gives him, he is pure of Daly's kind. He should be. To-day there are scores and scores of young men in Montana who are prospring in a business way because of the friendship of Daly, says the Washougal correspondence of the New York Herald. Daly is one of the most steadfast friends a man can have, and he is at the same time one of the worst enemies. Let a man once violate the confidence that man placed in his integrity or in his loyalty, and let him be in his good opinion. But Daly has the reputation of never forgetting a friend. An illustration of this was furnished in He's only a week or two ago. During capital fight between Helena and Anselm, he was in favor of the state. But he had a friend in Helena, who, while he was in favor of that place for the capital, always spoke of Daly kindly. This man died a few years ago and left his estate badly involved. In the property he left was, some improved in the income of the property for their living were a widow and two daughters. The daughters had been gently reared. One of them started in and gave private lessons in the art of stoneography and shorthand. Later she got a position, but the income of the two was only sufficient to care for the family. They were unable to afford mortgage which covered the homeestead. The property was sold at a mortgage sale about a year ago. The time of redemption was in 1970, and the family wrote Daly of the circumstances, telling him of the situation and asking Daily is credited by the labor leaders with being the one man who has kept workers up in the state. Several times the other employers of miners have ated to pay the union scale of wages, but the sense of fair play will not allow him to see a man who wants to work pre-emptive. He insists on his right to give employment to the union scale, and it is after the万人蜂 in the middle of the years. The union scale is the second largest, but of trees Daily has the second largest. them it it were possible for him to redeem the property. As there were indications of its enhancing in value, it was probable that if a few years the property could be sold for its real value and the mortgage lifted, and there would be some surplus for the widow and daughters. Daily's answer, and it came as soon as the malls could carry it, was a New York draft for $14,000, the entire amount of the indebtedness, as a gift to the daughters. The father of these girls was a Republican in politics, there was not a vote in the family, and in no possible way can Daily have any material return for this GOOM PAUL KENTUCKY DEMOCRAT KENTUCKY REPUBLICAN my hands pretty full for a while. apple orchard in the country. As to his horse establishment, the newspaper reader knows that he has bought the bluest blooded animals he could find. Probably he has been a visitor spent on his Bitter Root ranch. Each summer he is there with his family. He always has friends there. They are not, as a rule, people who have five places of age of his birth. Boys and girls of the same age of his birth visitors, and to see Daly with the youngsters one would not suppose he was carrying the burdens of one of the biggest enterprises in the Northwest. An illustration shows a show another phase of Daly's character. Before he built his smelter at Anaconda the valley below the works was rich and productive. He bought a number of farms, and the fallings from the works and the copper impregnated water were allowed to run down on the land. Gradually the water covered more and more ground, and some of the ranchmen who would not sell save at exaggerated prices found their ranches were being ruined. They went to Daly and complained. He said he would pay a fair price for the ranches, but he would not be robbed. Among the sufferers was a man who had given an option on his place to a real estate agent. This agent had tried to make Daly pay a fabulous price for the property and threatened a big damage suit. Daly told him to go ahead; that he would not be imposed upon. The ranchman had a friend who was well thought of by Daly and whom Daly trusted. The ranchman was in poor health and wanted to go to California. The friend went to Daly and told him of the circumstances. "I do not want to rob any man," said Daly. "But I will not be robbed. I think that place is worth so much. Now you get a good man to place a value on it and I will pay for it, but that thieving agent is not to get a cent." The valuation was fixed higher than Daly had placed it, but he paid it without dissent, only stipulating that the owner get it all. In his home life Daly is a model hus- band and father.

Tulipan Havana, April 30.—Until a few weeks ago one might as reasonably have aspired to make a walking tour of the infernal regions as to visit with note book and camera the interior of Morro and Cabanas. Even under the new American regime it was equally impossible, in what we might possibly be admitted without a special pass, counterinsigned by some commanding officer. Arrived at the water's edge, a quarter of a mile from the cathedral door, and within a stone's toss of the new post office, we secured one of the chicken-coopers who had been brought to the same antique pattern, brought from Southern Spain in some previous century; and for dos reales cada unc (twenty cents each person) the scarlet-capped Catalan boatman agreed to row for a few days. The cathedral door, to the fortress nearest the city. Morrara castle, for defense, while the larger and nearer Cabanas served also as a prison for political offenders. The former antecedents of the latter by more than half a century, but by more than half its walls of pale gray coquina—the coral rock that underlies the island—is today as fresh as ever; and the American authorities have just completed its renovation, outside and in, with lavish use of the old building. The old building, which was the walls now streaked and mottled with mold and weather stains—is yet comparatively untouched, and, happily for curiosity hunters, if not for health, all its old walls remain about as the Spaniards left them. The old building, which was the walls now streaked and mottled with their faded pinks and yellows, tower straight up from a deep, dry moat, unscalable by man or beast, and inclosing space enough for a good-sized town. Have we had the time to think of the old building, we crossed the creaking draw bridge and walked up a sharply sloping, winding road, paved with small sharp stones that bruised the feet like peas in the shoes of the penitent. Up and up we toiled, and, in the same way, to the right, and, in the range of port-holes and sentry-boxes, whose protruding guns might easily rake the path of intruders; and, for¬ my conjured up a myriad of unhappy gr¬ that have passed this camino doloroso, «omesick boys have been making a fine fine and an unwell come cause, and heavy-heaving prisoners who never returned. The view from the summit repays the oak tree—marrow, closely built city arbor, with a large canopy, arborboard, with church trees and palm trees and the white camps of American Indian Vidado, Marañones, Jesus del Monte, and other handmade suburbs; the historic bay, with ships in, in which nearly every flag is hoisted; the every flag of Spain; and, outlining all, the ocean. Here we were halted by other sentinels and others, who were sent forward to be approved by the officer of the day. While waiting, we were formed by walls thirty feet high, of pinkish plaster, a double row of stunted oaks growing in the middle. Trade and commerce is hallowed ground. At a glance none can fail to recognize the greaseome place. Breast high, small, circular indentations, and the grass beneath is starting rank and green—thousands upon thousands of men, whose crime was love of liberty, have met death with the toes to the walls, the firing squad with the rifles, the deadline, as the tail-tale cow of bushmarks is called, is unmistakable, not only because of the others that diverge from it, and north $2.40 PER YEAR. cularly in a small square known as "g. Patio de los Muertas"—the court of dead. They must have been excellent marks—men, those Spanish soldiers. The line of bullet holes is almost exactly a foot wide, with hardly a straggling mark. At any rate, none brought to execution lived to tell the manner of it. Tradition says that when the first volley failed to kill the everready machete, or bayonet, made shambles of the place. Presently permission to proceed came from the commander, together with a young soldier, who had been detailed as "guard"—not of ourselves, where no danger was threatened, but to check any curiosity to the警卫. The men were bein—to indulge. During the next two months youthful defender of Uncle Samuel kept us on the double-quick. Preferring the pleasures of cantina off duty, he trotted us hither and yon, above and below, through darksome dungeons and among ancient, guns, with speed that made us dizzy, returning an inflexible "Don't know" to every query. Therefore the intrలaceles of the great prison viewed on the run, recur to mind as an endless labyrinth of cells and corridors, tunnels and dungeons, in which one might easily lose himself, to be found no more till the resurcration of the cell, have been a hour, many vaulted chambers cut into the solid rock, some in total darkness, others pierced by feeble rays of light from small holes near the top; cells without cells, far underground, and subterranean passages, leading—God knows where. All the large prison rooms have rows of iron rings driven into the walls all around the prison. The walls are globetext-like framework extending down the middle—the latter forming two long benches of solid wood, with beams five inches thick. The benches heavy iron chains are suspended. Here, we are told, prisoners yet unarmed are held in a mysteriously suspected of hostility to Spain and held for examination—alternately chained to the benches by day and to the walls by night. The benches are Erebus, are hardy wide as a grave; and in each a single short chain, riveted in the clammy stone, tells its own story. In the cuban city, with Cuban citizens met mysterious death within the walls of Cabanas. Suspected of sympathy with Cuba libre, they were arrested and held on no charges at all, brought here, and never heard of again. There is no doubt that besides the open executions, secret, and globetexted murders were of frequent occurrence. The few prisoners who remained to be held were taken when the war was over, told blood-counting officers and despair. They said that every night the captain would to his place against the wall, and often, in comrades were missing. Among them were two men, the guard seated in the silent watchers, clipped his hand over the mouth of the doomed prisoner, the heart and dragged him One of these lately liberated prisoners, who is living in the Hotel Roma—an educated man, under thirty, whose hair is white as snow—says that one evening near the beginning of the Cuban revolt he was arrested while sitting in the plaza, on what, charge his noyer, knew for several weeks he was kept in one of the larger dungeons, alternately chained to the wall and the bench, with fifty others, many of whom were his personal friends, all respectable citizens of Havana, and all, like himself, ignorant of the cause of arrest. Having powerful relatives and a clear conscience, he hourly expected release. But days dragged by, and months, and years—till hope deferred died within him. Finally, having had neither trial nor examination, he was placed in the third and farthermost of a "nest" of cells—a narrow hollow in the rock not long enough to allow a man to stretch out on the floor, and fastened to the wall by a chain too short to admit of lying down. Fortunately the tomb had no door, so at midday a feeble glimmer of light was visible from the aperture near the top of the outer dungeon, and his voice reminded the careless guard to bring him food, or otherwise he would have starved. Doubtless his people made efforts in his behalf, but he had no knowledge of it; and when he was released, four years later, parents, brother and sisters all were dead—every relative sacrificed in the long struggle. In course of our explorations we entered a subterranean passage, or rather a series of them, so low and narrow that we could just squeeze through by stooping, and so dark that it was impossible to see an inch before the eyes. Striking matches frequently and holding each other's hands for fear of pitfalls, we penetrated the tunnel half a mile or more. The path to unknown perils sloped steeply, turning short curves and diverging to other passages, all trending downward into the blackness of eternal night. At intervals from gratings were felt beneath the feet and rusty gates were seen, now open wide and presently the sound of the sea was heard dashing upon rocks somewhere below. What diabolical mystery lies beyond was necessarily left to conjecturing. Our one box of matches was almost spent, and the guide refused to tarry. Promising ourselves to return with lanterns at no distant day, we reluctantly crept back to the world of men. There is little doubt that here may be found proof of terrible tales extant—of doomed men driven through secret passages at the point of the bayonet until they plunged through some death trap in the darkness or dropped into the ocean at the end of the tunnel. Morro castle is considerably smaller than Cabanas, and apparently had fewer grewsome secrets. Its dungeons are similar, though far less numerous. The large cells have rings in the walls and rows of banches with beams above them and chains dangling from them. Each prison has its chapel, with altar, now dismantled, and holy water fount—intended not for the consolation of terrified wretches condemned to death, but for the spiritual welfare of theirжillers. The Morro conditions of the horrors not found in Cabanas, viz., a cellar for the two, a two-bed, reducing, and having recently been cleaned by the American authorities, is now in excellent condition. Not far from the ovens is a kind of chute, cut into the stone, through which the debris of bones was dumped into the surf, which at high tide comes raging into an immense cleftern like space far below. Probably the last named spot answers to what is known outside as "the well," into which so-so says tradition—hundreds of living men have been dropped, bound hand and foot, to drown or to be dashed to death on the rocks, or furnish food for sharks—"Asi Dian" (as God wills). The Spanlards are not the worst secrets of Morro and Cbanas, consisting of implements of tincture which would have shamed the Inquisition, cannon and other valuables, to eternal obviation beneath the sea. Few guns are left, and those neither antique nor serviceable, the oldest bearing date of 1738.

The coming census is a matter of great interest to the Afro-American. He will be expected to answer the enumerator when he comes next June, and naturally wishes to make a good showing in the big volumes that are to be printed about the people of the United States. "The population schedule" is the one which concerns everybody. On it are questions about name, age, sex, color, relationship to the head of the family and where each individual was born, as well as where the parents of each were born. The enumerator will ask who can read and write and how many months the children have gone to school. He will ask about the prosperity of the family, whether only the man works for money or whether the women and children do, too, and whether they own or rent the house they live in. All the enumerator can do with this information when he gets it will be to write it out, too, so he will not to tell anything about it, and then the papers will be sent to Washington to be worked out by electricity. The great books, when printed, will show how fast the Afro-American people have been improving and where they have made greatest progress. Charles A. Foster, an old "freestater," died at the residence of his daughter in Walpole, Mass. Tuesday. He was once a resident of Kansas, and he was active in the free state movement. He was assistant secretary of the famous Topeka constitutional convention and was a member of the Topeka legislature at the time its meeting was dispersed by the United States dragoons under Colonel E. V. Summer July 4, 1856. He was elected attorney general under the constitution framed at Leavenworth in 1897, and was a member of the constitutional convention, but as the territory was admitted into the Union under the Wyandotte constitution he never served in the office. In the early part of 1856 he was indicted with John Brown by the so-called Kansas "border ruffians" grand jury for conspiring against the peace and dignity of the territory of Kansas and of the government of the United States, but with many others he successfully evaded arrest. He was made a Master Mason in St John's lodge of Boston in December, 1856, and was a member of many other fraternities. He has resided in Quincy since 1866. Citizens of Larium, the finest residence suburb of the big mining camp of Calumet, have appointed a committee to rid the town of "niggers." They object to having it called a vigilance committee and announce that only peaceable and legal methods will be used, but that the "niggers" must go. Afro-Americans were almost unknown there until a sewer contractor brought in several carloads from Tennessee and Alabama, eleven months ago. It seems that a number of white girls have eloped with the Afro-Americans and this is distasteful to the white males. In the South it is alleged that Afro-Americans rape white females and they are often lynched, without proof of their guilt. In the North the nice white girls are so anxious for black husbands that they elope with rough sewer hands. Queer, isn't it? John Arende Bingham, famous in the nation's history—former minister to Japan, former distinguished Ohio congressman, one of the prosecutors of the assassins of President Lincoln, one of the leaders of the impeachment proceedings against President Johnson, and author of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States—died at Cadiz, O., Monday. He was of the old school of jurists and legislators of that state, a man of prominent ability, but who had been out of public life and notice for the last fifteen years. His age was 85. Prominent Kansas and Western Republicans have started a movement to have J. R. Burton of this state make the speech at Philadelphia nominating President McKinley. The Western friends of Mr. Burton are not alone in this movement. Eastern leaders, including Governor Roosevelt, Senator Platt and others, it is claimed, are willing to accord this honor to Kansas and to Mr. Burton. Judge Dunne has decided that man and wife are not one, but two. The old idea of a single entity was often the cause of considerable trouble when the entity began to discuss the question, "Which one?" Captain Richard P. Leary, U. S. N. Governor of Guam, believes that the Constitution of the United States extends over Guam; so he has issued a proclamation forever abolishing slavery in Guam.

DALX-CLARK (Continued From First Page.) There is one point where his wife's persuasive powers have in the past been with him. He will not sit for a photograph. Some years ago, his wantee to take a picture of him. His wife was appealed to, but she could not get him to sit. Daly is not a public speaker. In his whole residence in Montana he has not lived in public more than half a dozen years. He has spoken for but a few minutes. Daly is a lusty, ruddy faced Irishman, and in his prime was broad of shoulder and deep of chest. Clark is slender, a man of little physical force. Daly is hearty, impetuous, enthulastic. Clark is cool, restless, and has a strong sense of reticence. There is a rolling burr in his tongue sometimes, and if he mangles the queen's English it is because—well, probably he does it on purpose. Clark is precise of language, saue and polished. He has a strong sense of warmth so was cold it seemed to chill you? One gets that impression from Clark. All the country knows the story of Clark's election to the senate by the legislature of Montana, the pro-legislator in taking his seat by sunday's vote, and the senator who allege that he bought his seat, and who give names and amounts in five figures, and his countercharge that he is the victim of a conspiracy of which Daly Citizens of Montana are interested. The good name of the state is at stake. "William A. Clark is the best organized piece of human machinery I have ever known." Who is the statement of a man who knows Senator Clark intimately and who has studied his character. He gives it as the summing up of the characteristics which have made the man successful in his political career. The mental organization gives him a grasp of details which is marvelous, and which enables him to retain the unflying mastery of the gigantic business enterprises he has created. Although he is at the center of the business enterprises and agricultural concerns whose can- MARCUS DALY. italization runs far into the millions, employing more than five thousand men, there is no detail too small to engage his attention. Distance from the scene of his death, the electric wires, the anilisates space, as he does time, and wherever the electric wires run he keeps his hand upon the key and is in touch with his responsibilities. Distance from the conducting the great fight of his life, battling for his seat in the senate and his good name, he overlocks nothing. Every night before he goes to bed he scans the daily reports forwarded to him of the progress of his life, and he smells the smelters at Bute, his fabulously rich copper mines of Arizona, his million dollar beet sugar factory in Southern California, his rubber and coffee plantations, his railroad, railways, wire mills or what not, he smells what each is doing and what each needs. One would think it is enough to drive a single man distracted. Not Clark, however. "When I go to bed" he says, "I will myself to go to sleep, not I'm off! I am for a refreshing sleep." That, of course, is the control of mind over physique, and that man's mind is a wonder. He seldom retires before 1 or 2 years, he is up by 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning, he drinks when he wants it, but never to excess. He is a bundle of nerve and muscle, but with both muscle and nerve under control. He is fond of social rebellion. He is fond of art, has a discriminating taste, for literature, and is anything but sordid. Clark always demands results. Promises without performances he cannot abide. Close in his business dealings, he is generousity is justice. He does not intrude on managers. Every man who works for him knows that Clark is the head of the establishment, and furthermore, that Clark is aware of all that is going on in him, the larger branch. The result is to infuse something more wonderful into his all-sub. who offers an imitation of Pearline and says nomical way of ing is as good of use have proved what it will won't do in the way of harm. Don't argue the m ordinates. Here in Washington he keeps few assistants. He attends to his own correspondence and dictates from two sources, and he is not always helpful. He works rapidly, but intensely and without nervousness. He is brief, but never brusque. The polish gained by years of residence in European capitals he carries with him is not as strong as he is, but not the kind of man to inspire one to be familiar with him. He can scent an impostor at long distance. His business acumen is an instinct improved with training. He is dealing with all sorts and conditions of men. Versatility and thoroughness should be included among his most pronounced characteristics. Whenever it is necessary to work with particular line of business he sets himself to the study until he has mastered it. Thus he took up, chemistry when he went to raise sugar beets. He visited the beet farms of Germany and France and worked with the European Europe, and he knows the beet now. He is a mechanic, and when he destroys to install machinery into a mine, no engineer can fool him on the holding power of a machine. He stamped a stamp mille to do the work required. He understands railroad building; is abreast of the latest improvements in electrical machinery for coal mining, and the machine is a locomotive or make up a freight train. He paused at the busiest time of his life to take a course in mineralogy at Columbia college, in New York. That was after he had spent years as a proxies for the mining company. Senator Hearst used to say that Clark was the best mineralogist on the Pacific coast. No one ever sells him a "salted" mine, and when he purchases a property he gets the best winnower, for he goes into nothing to lose. When he is contemplating acquiring a mine he puts on a pair of overalls and goes into the shaft or tunnel, hammer in his own eyes have seen the ore and his own judgment estimated its extent and value. There is one notable instance of his policy in this respect. A New Jersey copper company has seen that to take over the business. In looking over the books, noting the slightest details, he observed that during 1882 the largest amount of material received was from the gold mine in a small property in Arizona. His attention was attracted to the gold and silver values of the bullion, and he investigated the source. He found the mine under the control of the miners, and its ports to pass upon it, but their decision had resulted in the forfeiture of the bond and lease. He promptly renewed them, and a controlling interest of the property was acquired with a bond and lease for three years. Then he went to the mine, and, douning overalls and jumper, spent three weeks below ground. He says that the experts had sampled in a circle at five-foot interval. He took his samples on a table, and then measured the twelve inches, and soon discovered that the other experts had happened to strike the unproductive streaks. His judgment was that the mine was a bonanza, and he put his money into it, sinking to a 700-foot depth. He found that the copper at the rate of 5,000,000 pounds a month, containing more than enough silver and gold to pay for the separation of the metals. Its exploitation was due entirely to the skill, energy and pertinacious inquiry of this multi-millionaire, and he saw it as like a binder for weeks to see for himself what was in the bowels of the earth. When he takes up an industry he tries to control all branches of it. Thus, owning copper mines, he must build smelteries and railroads to transport it to the channels of commerce; next he buys coal mines to run the smelters and the railroads. He uses railroads to transport the mines and the smelters. He builts lumber forests to furnish timber for the mines. He owns ranches and sells cattle to feed his workmen. But these multinational companies have heath. He has not enough to keep him busy, even with his travels and his studies. He needs must embark in beet-raising and manufacturing, and being still unsatisfied, purposely fled to Mexico and starts in raining coffee, rubber plants and tea plants. All the time he is keeing in view his pet hobby of mining. He goes to Mexico and other minerals in the Rockies and the coast ranges. And in 1875 he dropped his business long enough to take a master commission and head a battalion of miners. Joseph in the New Peru Indian uprising. One naturally wants to know something of the history of a man who has done so much and achieved such success in a career and has been a storyteller, but contains nothing of the man. It is a recital of hard work, hard knocks and the success resulting from indomita- tionary energy and unusual intelligence and skill. He was the farm of the ploner. He worked nine miles in the remaining three took his education. Soon after reaching his major he crossed the plains, driving a team to Col- eridge where he worked in quartz mines. A year later he stamped to the gold mines of Bannock, driving an ox team for sixty-five days to reach the spot. Then he stamped with a claim to Horse Prairie and secured a claim which he worked for two seasons. He cleaned up $1,000, and this was his real "stake" in life. It was the beginning of the immense fortune, the real amount of money he had, and the experience in getting that $1,000 taught him there were other ways to make money quickly. Provisions were scarce from Salt Lake City, which he sold at low lour prices. He took the proceeds and rode horseback to Boise City, Idaho, where he bought thousands of tobacco at $1.50 a thousand, backing back to the mines, sold it out quickly at $ and $ a pound. He history for the next few years is a recital of one successful mercantile business, which he increased all the time. In 1872 he began to take an interest in Montana copper industries and branched out rapidly into the mining business has expanded profligiously ever since. it's "the same as," "as good as," etc., gives you a poor imitation of the truth.

Political Points: It seems that the Democrat candidate for mayor is to be Willis, Barton or Whitcomb, with the chances in the order they are named. The withdrawal of Postmaster Robert A. Smith as a candidate for nomination as mayor by the Democrats has simplified matters somewhat. He was generally considered the strongest candidate the Democrats could put up. Mayor Kiefer has declared his intention to become a candidate for re-nomination and has opened headquarters in Rooms 239 and 243 on the second floor of the Endicott building. His honor has proven himself to be a first-class politician as may be attested by his numerous successes and he evidently has his plans well in hand this time, as seems to be very easy in mind and sanguine of success. Wealth is probably a luxury. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER BURLINGTON IOWA. Mrs. Eliza Cartright and daughter Ada and Mrs. Holden are suffering with the grip.

James Terry, convict at the Stillwater prison, is trying to get out on habeas corpus proceedings, and will have a hearing before Judge Crosby of the district court next Tuesday. Terry alleges that he has been confined in a solitary cell since July, 1898, but the information received from Stillwater is that he has been confined in a crank cell, being considered one of the most obstreperous prisoners in the institution. Terry was convicted of burglary at Minneapolis in 1895, and when Judge Smith passed sentence on him, Terry flew into a rage, and insulted the court, using the most obscene language at his command. A man is pulling a net from a well with three children in it.

THE FAMOUS PHASEY TROUSE. In Chas. H. Yales "Evil Eye" at the Grand Opera House St. Paul. At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. Following Frederick Warde at the Grand Opera House is announced the visit of an attraction which last season left behind it a most excellent reputation. It is Chas. H. Yale's superb fantastical mechanical spectacle "Evil Eye" better described as the "Many Merry Mishaps of Nid and the Wierd Wonderful Wandering of Nod." This being the big second edition of this popular success under the management and direction of its author Sidney R. Ellis. Since its previous visit here, this spectacle has undergone many changes, new music has been introduced, new balloons supplied and the costumeing and staging of the production has been made magnificently elaborate. Particular attention has been made to supplying a number of decidedly novel and effective electrical features. The mechanical effects will include some decidely novel features, among them the human windmill, the disappearing rooms, the catalytic draw bridge, the eccentric bicycle, the chase of the Evil Eye and the cling of the wooden shop. The scenic effects include picturesque Holland, the Cafe Eccentrique and the representation of the famous Castle of Drachenfels. The music will include some delightfully charming new creations in addition to the hits of last year. Among the specialty features of which there are a great number is included the special engagement from the Alhambra theatre, London, of the great Pharey troupe of corps of beautiful young ladies, who are accomplished vocalist, dancers and musicians who will be seen in a series of new and extraordinary features of their line. With the excellent record it made on the occasion of its last visit here and with the great local popularity of spectator comedy, it is safe to predict for the Evil Eye a most cordial welcome. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES A small north side miss, aged 4, was reproved by her mother, who said: "Even if I did not see you, Helen, God does." "Oh, He won't tell," was the little one's reply. Little Willie—"The Bible says there will be no marrying in heaven. I wonder why?" Little Emma—"I don't know, unless it's because there won't be enough men to go round." "Now, Tommy," said his mother on Christmas morning, "you must remember that it is more blessed to give than to receive." "Yes. I know, mamma," replied Tommy, "but I ain't a bit selfish."

A strong effort among members of the Afro-Americans was made Sunday afternoon by Professor G. N. Grisham, of Kansas City, Mo., in his address before the Sunday Forum, at the Bethel Church. The subject of his lecture was "Motives." President Edward E. Wilson, of the Men's Sunday Forum, presided at the meeting. Professor Grisham said, "Nature has arisen to its highest consciousness in man. Man is governed by motive. The ends of action are divided into two classes, irritants and stimulants. Under the caption irritants belong competition, criticism, and stress. The stimulants embrace example, expectation, praise and assistance." Sam T. Jack's Theatre. Watson's American Beauties have made such a decided hit at Sam T. Jack's that Manager Euson has decided to make all of the best burlesque shows on the road have played at this popular theater during the present season but this company leads them all in the act. The magnificence of their costumes. Two rattling burlesques with just enough ginger to make them interesting are open the bill. The Benjamin Plicin "mous empsonator," plays the leading part. He is assisted by five other good comedians and twenty young Idoles. A split-splitting farce, called "Tough Tough," touches the heart. There is a fine list of vaudeville act. Barbers Wish to Close Sundays. The movement in favor of Sunday closing barbers' shops may branch of business that never have shown any disposition to support it. The Illinois Journeymen Barbers' Association already has begun the meetings to be held weekly, beginning May. The barbers of the different sections of the city are to discuss the proposition of closing all barber shops on Sundays, either through the whole city, at least during the summer months. Odd Follows Building The six lodges in Chicago of the Grand United Order of Dell Fellows have had plans prepared by Architect George L. Harvey for an assembly hall structure, which will cost $40,000. The high, will be located in State street, fifty feet north of Forty-third, on a lot having a west front of fifty-five feet and a depth of 160. The building purchased a year ago and the money being in the treasury. Arrangements been made to begin the work of construction on March 1, but the labor troubles preclude anything being done for the present. The building will have two stores in the front, on each side of the main entrance, leading to the auditorium. This hall will seat 2,000 people. The floor space will have 2,500 feet and the gallery will seat 300 people. At one end will be a stage, other women's lodges will be located the second floor and on the third will be a number of lodgerooms for Masons, as well as Odd Fellows. The six lodges identified with the building Golden Fleece, Hutchinson, Western St. Eckel, West Chicago, and Lincoln. Hopes deferred postpone the disappointment of things not realized.

An Appeal to the American People: We, men and women of the Afro-American race, with a few white friends of the African-American race, in Bethel chapel, Chicago, il. this 11th day of December, 1980, solemnly appeal all religious, languages and national affiliations, all sections and all political parties. We ask serious attention to the persecution of those being inflicted by lawless, savage men in the United States. These outrages are often committed out of dislike and suspicion only that their victim has been suspicion only that some crime or offense against the laws. The most horrible outcome of the medical men. This crime began in Arkansas and burned to death at the stake by mobs in Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, last seven months there have been three inhuman torturings to die by fire.

By this assembly that the daily and weekly newspaper, the Amy, and the weekly and monthly magazines be asked to print this appeal in behalf of a sufering and helpless people.

Subscriber Who Failed to Notify the Publisher to Stop His Honor "BUMBER to stop his paper." decided in the case of the Odd Fellows' Review against John Gaffey, that if a subpoena be issued to his address, he must direct pay the publisher the amount he owes for subscription, and make a request that the publisher be paid. The evidence in the case brought forth the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid $100,000 for the subscription he continued to accept it after his subscription had expired. Later he changed the publisher, and calmed not to bring the paper. This, the court held, was through no fault of the publishers, who had made a judgment for the amount and cost.
