Woman Had Trimmed Lamps, Cleaned Lenses and Rang TTi.lI Be Watched With Interest In New York. Fog Bell At Stony iYears Mrs. Nancy Rose, who for forty-eight years trimmed' the lamps and cleaned the lenses of the lighthouse at the crest of Stony" Point, died there last night at the age of eighty years, says a Nyack, N. telegram to the New York Herald.

She had dwelt at the beacon for more than half a century and in all that period, as she used- to say. nothing happened but one wreck. had lived In the neighborhood of Stony Point all her life. Her great grandfather, Jacob Parkinson, was wounded in the battle where "Mad Anthony" Wayne was slain, and in the belongings of the descendant were bul lets and bits of. grape shot which she had picked out of 'the soil of the battle field.

The lighthouse was built seventy- seven years ago on the foundations of Fort Stony Point, and about It He the acres Where one of -the struggles for American independence took place. Mrs. Rose's husband, Alexander Rose, was in 1852 appointed lighthouse keeper, ana ne and ihis family moved to the house in 1853. While carrying timbers in 1856 for the tower where the fog bell was subsequently placed, Rose ruptured a blood vessel and died within a few weeks. His widow, who had six small children dependent, on her, was appointed to his place, and until within a few days of her death she was in the light which warned the craft which ply up and down the Hudson river.

Her life was one of practical isolation. The Government gave her the' use of nine and one-half acres about tower, and in the daytime she looked 'after the affairs. of her small domain and prepared the lamps and the wicks for the coming of the night. In foggy weather she saw that the bell Point Until Eiglity Old. was ringing.

The Government moved the bell tower an eighth of a mile from the lighthouse ten years ago, and Mrs. Rose had to walk down there in bad weather "every three hours and wind up the mechanism which mantained the note of warning. Here on the edge of things life went along in familiar, grooves. Sometimes the chickens were carried off by a strange pestilence, and one year a cow died suddenly, but, taking one year with another, the years were much alike. The Government put in a red lens one winter and the innovation was duly recorded In the lighthouse log.

Mrs. Rose kept accounts of the oil that was burned and of the wicks which were and she also recorded the story of the weather day by day and the time when the lighthouse was aglow and when the lamps were extinguished. She was in the lighthouse one March morning, in 1901, just after she had trimmed the lights, when there came loud knocking at her door. The steamboat Pdughkeepsie had gone ashore, and fifty men and women sought shelter from the storm. Mrs.

Rose looked at them in astonishment, for the lamps had been brightly burning-and the fog bell was ringing. She made them welcome 1n her kitchen and served coffee and sandwiches for all. Mrs. Rose had been forthe last six months suffering from exhaustion, due to her advanced age. -She Is survived by her son, Alexander Rose.

Supervisor of Stony Point, who says he would rather pick huckleberries over the mountain than be a lighthouse keeper. and by her daughter, Mellnda, who has no Interest in beacons. It Is likely that the position of lighthouse keeper will pass out or the Rose family. f0W T0MY AND THE TOUT PICKED A SURE WINNER his apparatus.

Denslow'3 Cat Story. W.

W. Denslow, the children's artist, the same who Is building a white palace on a rocky islet among the Bermudas out of his "Wizard of Oz" royalties, is in New York again. As ever, he is primed with stories. One of them Is about a cat. The cat, says Denslow, Is bobtalled, and is therefore known as Bob.

There were so many rats and mice on the Islet that the cat was taken over there one day in a rowboat used by the. workmen who were building the house. The rata and mice, on which the cat lived for some time, are now all gone, but the) cat Is still on the Island. For a while he provided his own food supply in manner hitherto mnheardl of amons cats. At least, bo says Thomas Jeffreys, well known of late in the Bermudas for his extensive knowledge-of the ways of creation's lower orders.

It may be said, in passing, that, while often spoken of now as the "Naturalist," Jeffreys used to be, termed: the "Pirate," and undoubtedly was a wrecker ire other days. Wrecking bemg In much disfavor these degenerate days, the "Pirate" earns his livelihood! by working for Denslow on his rocky iswt fishing for yellow tails and angel fish, two plentiful and valuable products of: the Bermuda waters. Being an expert In preparing pots -in which the fish are taken, the "Pirate" was uniformly tacky until somer time after the cat, Bob. had taken up his abode on the Islet. Perhaps a fortnight after that, and Just abont the time the rats and mice began to disappear, the "Pirate" began to find hia; fish pots empty.

There was apparent I evidence that they had been well filled, ton mt that made the "Pirate" angry.) It also induced him to watch the pots. I Two or three hours earlier In tho morning than was his custom then, the "Piratf." betook himself to DerrsloWS islet one day and from the shore took. a look at the pots, wnlcn were eat about twenty yardg out, before, going out to them. Bod's Strange Belavtefc While he was watching the pots his notice was attracted to the strange behavior of Bob. The cat came down to the water's edge and looked longingly out over the expanse.

Then ha put his forepaws, daintily, one after-the other, into the brine, withdrawing them at first with some grumbling. Finally he struck out boldly and swam straight to the "Pirate's" fish pots. Reaching them he climbed on the buoy, dived to the bottom, and deliberately rifled tho pots of all the best fish In them. Denslow says he has never known any man's sense of the usefulness of words develop as has the "Pirate's" since that day. Naturally, too.

his vocabulary has grown wonderfully and his command of words expressing admiration, wonder and amazement haa improved most noticeably. Denslow himself has long been a keen student of animals, and the episode of Bob, the cat, and the angel fish has stimulated the artist's nature studies Immensely. Out of sympathy for the "Pirate," whose own living would be jeopardized were Bob to be allowed to continue stealing the flsh, Denslow has arranged for the regular delivery of a ration of fish livers daily on the shores the Islet until the house shall be completed, when It is believed Bob will be able to forage for himself without having to overcome his natural antipathy to contact with water and the exertion of swimming. DUANE. ELIHU ROOT ARGUES IN' HARRIMAN CASE.

Says the Plaintiffa Are Hot legal Owners of the Stock In Question. Newark, N. May 21. The hearing of arguments on the petition of E. H.

Harriman and WInslow S. Pierce for an injunction against the distribution of assets of the Northern Securities Company, under the announced plan, was continued before United States Judge Bradford to-day. At the opening of the court it was decided by Judge Bradford that the arguments of Ellftu Root, for the Northern Securities Company, and Attorney Thatcher Krept, representing the Oregon Short Dine bondholders, would be heard here to-day, and that Messrs. Guthrie and Johnstone will be heard on Monday at Mr. Root then resumed his argument.

He maintained that the decision of the courts did not adjudicate the plaintiffs to be the legal owners of the stock In question, and that the United States Circuit Court, sitting at St. Paul, had sustained his view. The equity in the property held by people who had bought in the open market, he argued, must prevail against the claim of counsel for Harriman and Pierce, and it would be entirely unjust to these people, who would be deprived of their rightful share In all the stocks. Eight Saloon Licenses Granted. Winchester, May 21.

Local option prevails in four of the five voting preirfncts of this city, while In the fifth the present City Council had refused to grant city license and no saloons had been open since the first ot the year. Last night a special meeting of the City Council was called, at which two of the anti-saloon members were not present, and eight saloon licenses were granted and are now in full blast. This action created quite a "Why Should "We Not Advertise? One of the signs of these progressive times is the resort by towns to newspaper advertising in order to make known their advantages and attract capital and Industry. It is an entirely logical development of the age. Judicious newspaper advertising has proved so effective in so many directions that It was natural that enterprising communities seeking to bring In outside energy and money should have recourse to It.

There is no other method of securing publicity that can be compared with newspaper advertising, either In the extent of the field covered or the directness with which it Is covered. A few people can be reached in various ways, but practically all people can be reached by the newspaper advertisement. And, judged by the work done and the results secured, the newspaper is by far the cheapest method of advertising, as it certainly Is the only thorough method. The up-to-date communities which have recently adopted this means of spreading their advantages abroad have done so because they had the business shrewdness to recognize its superiority, and because theyt were not content to confine themselves to the old method of waiting until some outsider discovered their existence and instituted inquiry concerning their Inducements. They believed rather In making known their inducements far and wide, that inquiry and Investigation-might be prompted from quarters which, in ignorance of the particular location advertised, would never have made them otherwise.

Most encouraging practical results have attended this movement. Capital has been Invested and manufactures have been attracted that otherwise would never have been reached. The mere fact that a community is progressive enough to adopt so progressive a method of booming itself creates a good impression, and when it is able to justify such an impression, good is bound to come of it. It would be worth Louisville's while to look Into this matter on her own account. No city has more advantages to offer the manufacturer, and there are many manufacturers all over the country willing to move to the locality offering the best facilities for their business, while there are idle millions piling up in the banks of the money centers that would be invested here if those centers were, properly enllghtened as to what we have to offer investors.

We have excellent local business organizations that make It a point to lay our advantages before-, each outsiders as may Eeek enlightenment and. such as we may of contemplating removing their factories; but that Is Insufficient What we need is to stimulate the interest of those who ore not already interested in us; to enlighten those who are not already seeking enlightenment; to make known our superior claims to manufacturers In general who are not thinking of removing here, and to capital that Is Ignorant of the opportunities here. The Courier-Journal offers this suggestion because It knows the value of advertising and wishes to see Louisville have the development to which she Is entitled. And in offering the suggestion It cannot be charged with seif-lnterest, for such advertising naturally would be placed in other than Louisville papers. Disparity In Marriage.

They seem to be reversing the matrimonial fad in England as compared with that which prevails in this, country- Here the titled British or continental swain with encumbered estates or no bank account comes to find a wife among the daughters of the new rich, who are long on money but short on pedigree. The number of American Duchesses, Countesses and wives with noble titles of less degree has steadily increased, and Euch -matrimonial alliances have resulted so satisfactorily in building up the dilapidated estates of the adventurers that fortune hunters come to America from abroad now with much the same method and directness of purpose as they used to come to hunt buffalo on the plains before they were exterminated. But the game bagged now is of a different kind. The preserves are well guarded and are not open to every pothunter who covets the game. Daughters of the multimillionaires as they arrive at marriageable age are listed on the books, figuratively speaking, and foreign fortune hunters keep in touch with the market.

In time the titled swain puts in an appearance, and If the armorial bearings are sufficiently exalted, and the dot Is correspondingly weighty, a matrimonial alliance ensues, and the bride goes to swell the American contingent at court. Along with her go other than matrimonial bonds, the United States securities from which are to come the support of the happy couple and the rebuilding of the baronial walls which have fallen Into decay. A few days ago a marriage in London showed the obverse of this picture. The parties to the contract were an elderly bride of. wealth and station and a handsome young member of her domestic household.

The Countess of Ravensworth, the widow of an Earl, was married to her coachman, a handsome young man of twenty-eight. It was his first venture and her third. She was first married in 1872. and the second time in 1S92, her last widowhood having been of but a year's duration, while In point of age she was old enough for the young groom's mother.

Christian Union. la that wonderful prayer recorded In the seventeenth chanter of the Gospel according- to John we read: "Holy Fa- tber, keep through thine own name those "whom Thou hast given me that Bhey may he one, as we ore, Neither pray I for -fhesealone, but for them also 'who shall 'believe in me through their 'word, that they all may i be One, as Thou, natter, art In me, and i In 33iee; trp "they also may be One 1 tn the world- tnay believe that fSStoa tatst cent me." There is no room for fiocbt that the iSnc4acoe of the -world to believe in the divine of Jesus is greatly taneaeea by the divisions that have I (vat-esmider those who profess to be-j tlTftin Him. Not only has there been twaat-of orgaalo-onlon, bnt there have ao. been strife, heartburnings, crim- fmt-m.

and recrimination, abuse, even Screes of the most eeJeaUeee character. "world supposed to be in outer darkness, lying In iwiokedness, has looked rwtth amazement- -upon the spectacle of those calling themselves saints, 3iosen generation, a royal ipTiesthood, holy, nation, a peculiar people," de nouncing one another as heretics, schis matics, dogs and idolaters, and: staining the earth with the blood of those for whom Christ died. "When the missionaries of these waning creeds have gone to heathen land to tell of the great superiority of the Christian re ligion to all others, they have been met with the inquiry: "What is the Christian religion? We hear that those who profess it -are not agreed among themselves as to its meaning. How can judge of its superiority unless we know what it is?" Thus the the divine mission of Jesus because HJa followers are not one, mm He prayed they might be. In what this unity should consist Is a question for the theologians, into rwhich a secular newspaper does well not to venture.

But we may wen note the signs of the times, which clearly In dicate that the considerations here set out are having their influence on the men who doubt the religious thought of the world The striving after Christian union is more marked in recent years than it has ever been before, at least in modern times. There is a rapprochement among the denominations such as has not been seen before. It Is not merely that political conditions have changed, and that the secular arm can now seldom be Invoked to settle doctrinal controversies, aa was once the fashion, but there is a growing feeling of the necessity of peace among the professed followers of the Prince of Peace. It would be too much to assert, perhaps, that the various sects are more nearly agreed in doctrines than they "were a generation or two ago. But certainly there is less of wrangle and bit terness over doctrinal differences than there was within the memory of many now living.

This may be due to the circumstance that there is now less disposition to make every dogma a ground of division, a source of Irritation, an occasion for strife and denunciation. Men have searched the Scriptures diligently and they have not found the test "By orthodoxy axe ye saved." There Is less disposition to go to war over a letter, as was once the case between homooustfan and homoiouslan, which differed only by an iota, otherwise known as a "jot" It Is not now everywhere believed that this is the particular jot which prophecy says must be fulfilled. There is now a significant movement for establishing closer relations among several of the religious denominations. Whether this shall take the form of organic union, or simply result in the establishment of closer fraternal relations, the tendency which it indicates is equally gratifying. It is a mistake to suppose that the differences among these bodies is wholly political.

Some of the controversies have grown out of politics, but they also involve ques tior.s as to the nature of the subjects with which church, courts In -ecclesias tical legislative bodies should concern themselves. Some of these differences antedated the political differences and have survived them. But whatever obstacles may exist to organic union the time has passed when these differences should be causes of strife or bitter denunciation. The old aspersions have In part or altogether been removed from the field of controversy, and the prospects seem bright for the various sects, where they can-ot form organic union, to co-operate heartily in work for ths And Juicy Is Everything In Washington Now, LIFE IS ONE GRAND PICNIC.

Texas Literary Man.

Among the delightful literary people recently come to Washington, though Washington is an old story in this case, is Mr. C. Arthur Williams, of Houston. who is domiciled at the Portner with his most winsome youner wife. Mr.

Williams is Washington correspondent tor (jolliers Weekly, and other publications. A strong story from his pen will appear in the. next issue of Success. He receives much literary inspiration from his wife, a woman of strong charm and personality. Mrs.

Williams, a Southern belle before her marriage. Miss Frances Hite, of Kentucky ances- haired, the color of the hair and. complexion Indicating temperament. Scientists In the study of. this law of natural selection, contend that It Is not similarity of temperament which conduces to matrimonial congeniality, but the union of those of opposite type3.

Where tastes and temperament are the same there is apt be conflict, while harmony comes from the union of the two opposite types, making the one harmonious whole. Is claimed that where one of a couple has dark hair and the other hair of a light or sanguinary hue, there Is little fear of Incompatibility, but where both husband and wife have red hair the danger of matrimonial infelicity Is greatly enhanced. And sb, according to this assumed law of nature, whereby each values In the object of his or her preference the quality which characterizes-the other, both classes of marriages In the cases cited are capable of explanation. The moneyless foreigner is attracted by the wealth of the American heiress, who in turn sees in the coronet of her admirer the missing ingredient which rounds out the measure of her ambition. And so the aged Countess with a plethora of years halts not at the lack of rank In the man of her choice, whose youth will reduce their united years to a middle-aged average, while he finds in the alliantrewjth rank, fortune and ease full compensation for the disparity in ages.

It is not often that marriages with' such disparity of rank occur In England, but there are not wanting many similar Instances of intermarriages between wealthy women of ad vanced age with their Juniors, whose chief fortune lay in their youth. One of the most notable was that of the Baroness Burdette-Coutts, a maiden lady of great fortune, noted for her personal worth and lavish charity, who, when well advanced towards seventy married a young New Jersey man, W. L. Ashmead Bartlett. By royal license he was permitted to bear the surname Burdette-Coutts, and the union is said to have proved a happy one.

War Humors. Intelligence from the seat of war In dicates increased activity on the part of both belligerents at widely distant points. The reports, however, are so vague and take color so generally in favor of the army or authority whence they emanate that it is difficult to arrive at a fair estimate of their value. The engagement heretofore reported to have taken place between divisions of the armies of Generals Kurokl and Ku-ropatkin, coupled with the falling back Of the former division to Feng-Wang-Cheng, does not appear to have been more than a skirmish between their advance guards. The withdrawal of the Japanese division seems to have been for strategic reasons, and possibly for concentration looking to an aggressive movement upon, another route than that upon which it had advanced.

The landing of more troops upon the north coast of Korean bay at Taiku-shan Is confirmed, and it is evident that they are reinforcements to the army of Kuroki. The appearance and repulse of a body of Cossacks before Ham Heung, to the north of Wonsan, on the east coast of the peninsula nearly due east from Wiju, indicates that the Russian cavalry is demonstrating on the right flank and rear of the -Japanese army In Manchuria, and that the movement noted is in the nature of a raid having little other significance. Reports of the grounding of a Russian cruiser on the rocks near the entrance to Vladivostok, and its destruction to prevent the vessel's falling into the hands of the Japanese, are denied by the Russian authorities. There is similar uncertainty as to reports of a Japanese repulse in the lower peninsula by a sortie of the Russians from Port Arthur. There are so many points widely separated, at which the opposing forces are liable to come in contact that it requires careful discrimination not to attach too much significance to mere skirmishes, which, in transmission of their occurrence, are likely to be taken for engagements of magnitude.

Both contestants, however, are concentrating large armies between Feng-Wang-Cheng and the Manchurian railroad, and it is between these two forces that a pitched battle, if it occurs shortly, will take place. A current medical journal gives this definition: "A blush Is a temporary erythema and calorific effulgence of the physiogrnomy actiologized by one percept lveness of the sensorlum when in a predicament of un- equilibrity from a sense of shame, anger, or other cause, ventilating in a paresis of the vasomotor filaments of the facial capillaries, whereby, being divested of their elasticity, they are suffused with a radiance effeminating from an intimidated praecordia." It may be so. At any rate, the unscientific mind is not prepared to disprove it. Perhaps It Is even willing to admit that this is what may happen when a Boston girl blushes. The -most conservative estimate of the number of the Rev.

Charles A. Lyons' wives Is twenty-five. The Rev. Lyons is the St. Paul clergyman who was sentenced to four years imprisonment the other day for bigamy.

Brother Lyons seems to have been lucky not to be tried for polygamy. The Russians are becoming notably more cheerful. Dispatches fr.orn St. Petersburg indicate that they are even hopeful that if the Japanese ships continue to collide and sink, the Russian fleet may venture out of the harbor at Port Arthur- CRUSADE ON THE POOLRO'OWIS.

GODDAHiyS PAST WITH TEE WESTERN tTNTOlf. CHARACTEiRISTICSOF THE MAW Roles To Be Played By Attorney Jerome and Police Commissioner HCeAdoo In tbs Matter. SOMETHING ABOUT MARCONI. New York, May 21. Special.

The wholetown Is still talking about Capt. F. Norton Goddard, Police Commissioner McAdoo, District Attorney Jerome, the Western Union's racing news department and the keeping of poolrooms open or shut, exactly as If something permanent was likely to be the result. this should turn out to be the case, then Capt. Goddard and the District Attorney both will have made a deeper mark than even their friends have expected.

No one, on seeing Capt Goddard ror the first time, would be impressed overmuch with a sense of his tenacity and strength. It is even probable that most people would be inclined to. think after the Initial Interview with the captain that his words were more important than his work was likely to be. For the captain has a certain softness of speech, a certain hesitancy of manner, an apparent modesty, diffidence bashfulness, if you win tna-i wuu. receive the very elect, so to speak.

In fun fho pflntnln'a modesty, which all his friends will testify is very real, has deceived the elect among nis oppui" in mihiin Ufa more ithan once. To his modesty he adds a characteristic often found among gamblers, and as valuable to them and to petty politicians as It is to. the great captains of oTiri in most American diplo matists. This quality is directness of speech, revealing great simplicity of mental processes. What Goddard Did.

In the past nobody has ever been able to keep the public Interested very long In the Western Union's connection with the but Goddard has kept everybody keyed up to the highest interest in the matter for about a month now, and no one can tell what the result will be.

So far as securing any preferment for himself is concerned, Capt Goddard Is not a successful politician. Yet in the six or eight years since he first dipped into public life he has made about as big stir as any of them. In that time he has turned a district containing 15,000 voters from one party to the other. In that time ha has dealt the worst blow it has ever known at policy playing, which he terms, "The meanest form of gambling on the whole earth, since the poor are its chief victims." In that time he, planted new ideals among the Inhabitants of a big slice of the Metropolitan East Side, where ideals, generally not very high, are changed with tho utmost difficulty. Capt.

Goddard is worth about a million perhaps more. He inherited much of Ms fortune in the shape of a silk Importing business. He devotes an immense amount of time to his crusades of one sort and another, but he doesn't neglect his business, which is growing all the time, despite the fact that all his surplus goes into the crusades. The captain is not much over forty years old. He is about six feat tall, slender and with a slight stoop.

He would like to be a political power most crusaders would but he wouldn't change the nature of his crusades or abate their intensity one whit for the sake of all the, political preferment in the world. Commissioner McAdoo's Part. Police Commissioner McAdoo's part in the Western Union poolroom Imbroglio is quite as interesting to the New York public as Captain Goddard's From this time on it is likely to be more interesting. McAdoo is a- Democrat, while Goddard is a Republican. McAdoo has never been affiliated in any way with the Citizens' Union or any other body of professional reformers.

Yet while he has not succeeded in keeping "the lid on" every minute, or quite as tightly as he'd like to since he became Police Commissioner, he has done much better in that direction than any of his predecessors, reformers or otherwise, ever have. District Attorney Jerome, of course will work along Goddard's lines to the end. whatever that may be, just as he win fig-ht the gambling interests generally as long as he Is in power. New York understands full well that his erraticisms never make him los sight of whatever ultimate goal he may have in mind. The Wireless Inventor.

Marconi, the wireless man, is about as well known in this town as in London, and this week he has had many congratulations from his New York friends because of his success in kfp-ing in touch with one of the Cunard boats without a break from shore to shore. Marconi has been spoken of in print as "the least joyous of men." Undoubtedly the phrase describes him most accurately as heJs seen by the newspaper writers who get interviews with him. His friends outside journalistic circles do not find him "joyless," unless they chance to be electricians. With electricians' and newspaper men the Inventor feels that he must be constantly on his guard constantly on the alert. He believes, and undoubtedly with full justification, that he has lost some of the frult3 of his long and rigorous study and investigation through the premature publication of certain details.

He thinks that had he kept his mouth more tightly guarded he would not have so many rivals in the wire less neia, ana ne aoesn purpose "leaking" any information whatever Fell Into the Hands of the Sharpers. Up to this period in the story Tony is very meek -and apologetic, but here he begins to swell a bit, and goes on: "About that time. I began to get wise that a tout had me, and, though they are pretty smart fellows. I thought I would show him a trick or two. As the bookmaker handed out the ticket I snatched it and put It in my pocket.

Mr. Tout wanted to get it and hand me a but I was a little too quick. Well, the race was run and Ponca won and Gorey ran third, so I was ready to cash both ways. Right at the bottom of the steps as I came down was the tout. Well, we won a nice bet.

he said. 'Give me the ticket and I will cash At that I looked- astonished and eaia: 'Why, I thought Gorey finish-ed last and I threw the ticket He looked cheap enough to sell for a nickel, but proposed to go to the book and stop payment. I argued with him for a while and slipped the ticket to friend, who cashed it and gave me the money later, and the tout got nothing. Sometimes they get one of us wise guys hooked in, but they can't land us. guess I gave that tout a lesson," and Tony lights a big cigar and settles back to wait for the chorus of approval.

Some of Tony's friends maintain, however, that the tout cashed the ticket, and that all Tony got was out of the $20 drawn down. will be State delegate to the Interna tlonal League' of Press Clubs, which will likely meet in Toledo this year.

"Rich, who takes the part of Jesse James in "The James Boys In Missouri" at the Avenue Theater this week, called at the office of the Clerk of the Police Court yesterday afternoon and asked for a disorderly conduct warrant against Frank Gazzalo, the manager of the show. -He claimed the latter beat him brutally yesterday afternoon in the manager's room on the stage of the theater.

His face told a story of a beating and the warrant was issued to him by the Clerk without protest. Rich said that since he has been In Louisville he has received hundreds of notes from matinee girls, and all of them he said came unsolicited. "Girls will come to the show, and after the performance is over they try to make an acquaintance with me," said Rich, as he rubbed his hands over the sore places on bis face which looked more like a piece of raw beefsteak' than the physiognomy of a human being. "Gazzalo told me the other day that if I did not stop getting latters from these girls he would fire me out of the company, and I told him at the time that I could not help it, and that I did not want the letters any more than he did. Yesterday afternoon I went to the theater and found nearly a hundred letters waiting for me, and I picked them up and went to Gazzalo with them.

I suppose you want me to end my engagement right here, I said. He looked at me a minute and then cursed me and started to beat me up. I am a much bigger man -than he is, and for that reason I did not strike him back, but decided to let the law give him his punishment." Gazzalo, up to the present time, has not been arrested, and it is understood that he. took a ride to New Albaiij- on the trolley cars to avoid any unp'eas-antness. The part of Jesse James wa played yesterday af ernoon by William Lewis, Rich's understudy, and it is understood that he will be given the part regularly.

After swearing out a warrant for Gazzalo's arrest Rice went to a doctor's office, where he had hi3 injuries dressed. Hezekiah Allen Acquitted. Marengo, May 21.

Tony Is a City Man, Bet He Race Track This is the tale of Tony and the tout. Tony is, or at least he considers himself, an up-to-date young man.

He certainly does not look like an innocent visitor from the rural districts, but he was spotted by an energetio dispenser of race track information on the last day of the races at Churchill Downs, and even Tony admits that he rose to the bait like a bass after a fly. All of Tony's friends are telling the story, but to get the full benefit of It Tony must tell It himself. "Strange, isn't it," says Tony, by way of introduction, "how a man gets up in the air when events are moving rapidly. Now, look at me, for instance, You wouldn't think that I would prove a mark for a tout, but I was. It was Oaks day, and I had been winner all during the meeting, and after cashing on the first race had bet $5 on Ponca In thft second.

I was excited by my good luek, and when a stranger brushed up to me and said: 'Who is that fellow there betting on? He Is Johnny Fay's I looked, and sure enough here came a fellow, who, spying me. called me to one side and said: 'Say, you look like a nice young fellow, and I'll put you next. I just got down $10,000. for my employer. How much you want to I said I would bet $5, and he fairly took it out of my hand and bet it on Gorey to show at 3 to try.
