Mr. N G. Parker at last comes out with q
reply to The communication of Mr.. Edwin J.
Scott, chairman OF q committee Of the Taxpay-

examine that officials books. Mr.. Parker
throws himself upon his dignlty, and declines
to allow the examination. His reason there
ior Is that there is mode OF examination for
his Office provided by law, and to that exami-
nation alone lie feels disposed to submit
Now, Mr.. Parker must be we'll aware thatihis
communication simply details facts already
welIknown. But does he not know that it Is
because the official examinations are not re-

Is chairman. and committee of which Mr..
Dennis ls chairman, cannot satisfy the pnblic,

the public desire to hear from the committee

before that were Mr. Parker above suspicion,
he might afford to throw himself upon his dlgt

to add that were Mr.. Parker above suspicion,

AN ORPHAN ASYLUM BOY INHERITS A
FORTUNE.

Quite number of years ago there
lived in Detroit a mechanic named
Hugh Mcleod, who dying. left a wild
Ow and son, the latter aged five years.
The father had been always a hard
worker, but was improvident, or some
how could not learn the secret of mon
ey-saying, and so, when he died, there
was nothing but poverty aud toilsome
struggle left for the stricken mother
and the helpless child.
The widows store was soon exhaust
ed, her child must have bread, and the
world must be encountered. Hopefully
enough the mother cast about for the
best means of accomplishing her sole
object in life-the proper care of her.
self and little one. She found good
friends, too; but it was not long before
her strength gave way and she died,
leaving her child quite alone. Through
the kind offices of Mrs Colin Campbell,
in whose family the mother had often
found aid and sympathy, the boy was
provided with home at the Protestant
Orphan Asvlum. The years. grew on
apace, the little orphan became stout
lsd, and when one day news was
brought him that he was to find new
home with kind father in one of the
towns in this county, he packed togeth-

to his foster home and rode away with
his new found friends. He fell into the
ways of farm life readily, and, being
willing and capable, soon learned to
make himself useful. He never left his
place, except to visit the city OCCASION
ally, and is still there, an indispensable
aid to the good old people whose be-
nevoIence encompassed his childhood.
Now comes the story of rejoicing.
The Asylum boy, the@bound out" youth,
suddenly finds himself at the age of 20
years the possessor of fortune. And

THE LOST CAUSE NOT LOST.

The people of Augusta, Georgia, have
recently been favored with a speech
from the unfortunate leader of the lost
cause. 1t was in reply to an address of
welcome. 1t was maintained as an in
cident worthy of note that he was clad
in garments of gray, the same color that
was worn by soldiers in the confederate
armies. He did not give them a def
mite speech, or utter any definite senti-
ments, but he did tell them that unut-
terable things were pent up within him,
and that they were ready for utterance
whenever the proper time should ar
rive.
He assured them that his vanity was
not wounded because they honored him
as the representative of their cause. He
said 'sthat cause is dear to me-more
precious. even, than life, Gnd ! glory in
its remembrance" He assured them
that "he did not dare to speak to them
IS he desired" ellis heart was over
lowing, but he could not speak. Mem
cries of the past were struggling in his
brain, but he must be silent" He spoke
of those who "filled with jealousy which
sprung from knowledge OF their infer
iority. and think Of the right that
may again prevail"

THE STORY OF A RESCUED MINER.

We spoke yesterday of the awful ca
lamity at Pittson. Herewith is the
plaintive AMI touching story of VIM.
X. Davies, a miner who was entirely
concious when lifted from the shaft.
He was able to talk feebIy with those
who bore him away, and besought them
. not to hurt his head" 4 short time
after he made the followsnp statement:
l am one of the men who have so
narrowly escaped death in the West
PittSon mine. l now feel extremely
weak and exhausted, and very dizzy in
my head, as well as sick at my stomach.
At the moment when | first heard that
the breaker was on fire | was hard at
work in my chamber in the mine. As
soon as the alarm was given, and we
understood the exact nature of the dan
ger, we ali came together as soon as we
could find one another, in the gangway
at the foot of the shaft; and finding it
useless TO attempt'to go up, and know
ing that there was no other way of eS-
cape, we decided at once to build a
barricade, and to shut ourselves i'll be-
hind it.
We had one thing of the greatest i'm
portance in our favor. There was no
furnace in the mine, and the air was
| furnished in the pit by a large fan,
which drove it down. We were per-
| fectly well aware of the fact that our
| lives depended almost entirely upon the
barricade we were building, and there
fore, made it as strong as we could. We
made it by trimming off large Jumps
of coal, and then fitting them closely
| together in stout wall. w len it was
completed we knew that 1t was a per-
fectly secure barrier against the fire.
| We then gave the closest attention to
what was going on outside. For two
or three hours, at least, after the bar
ricade was finished we could distinctly
hear the noise that was made at the top
of the shaft.
After that time the assurance seemed
to come upon us all that we should
never be taken out of the mine alive.
| The reason of this change of feeling
was, that so many of US began to feel
drowsy, and we knew it must be the
effect of impure air.
After this we quietly resigned our
selves to the death which seemed GER
tain and went to work to make our
preparations to meet it. We held a
prayer-meeting with singing and pray
ing; and at last we gave each other
parting caresses and kisses, each of lis
bidding every man an affectionate fare.
well, with the hope of meeting one
another in heaven.
We of course thought of much that
could be done to attract the attention
of the men outside, who we knew were
doing all in their power to deliver US
so that we might be found as soon as
POSSIBLE, and no time be lost in search
of traces of us.
For this purpose one man was sent
to the gangway, at the foot of the east
shaft, who wrote with a piece of Goa
on the outside of the door of the cas-
gangway that we had barricaded our
selves behind it.
You will excuse me, know, from
trying to remember anything more, Of
from talking any further just now.
am too weak, but as soon as recover
my strength, l will be glad to recall
and describe in full detail everything
that occurred IN the mine.

A SAD MESSAGE FROM THE SEA.

1t must now soon be three years since
the steamship United Kingdom, of the
Anchor Line, was lost at sea on its voy-
age from New York to Glasgow. Moth
ing was ever heard from her; for a
long time hopes were entertained of
her saftev; she might, perhaps, have
put into some port in distress, have
run short of coal, her machinery
NAV have become deranged or broken
down, &C., and people on both sides of
the ocean were 10th to give up the idea
that she would ultimately turn up some
where, with all hands and passengers
safe, having suffered only from pro-
tracted and tedious voyage. But their
hopes were frustrated; no news of her
was ever received, and she disappeared
as suddenly and mysteriously as the
City of Boston about a twelvemonth
later. AT last, however, after lapse of
nearly three years, we have idings of
her again. A Mrs. Stancliffe was, the
other day, taking a walk on the beach
of Rockaway, near New York, enjoy
ing the cool breeze from the Atlantic,
when she suddenly stumbled upon a
bottle, tightly corked, which upon be-
ing opened, was found to contain n
scrap of paper, on which was written
the following:
On board the United Kingdom, New
York to Glasgow.
Mid-ocean. Ship fast settling down.
All hands and passengers likely to per-
ish, as most of the boats are swept away.
God help us.
Should this be picked UP, please re-
port. WIN. RUSSELL,
Third Mate.
This is another waif from the ocean,
telling sad and oft-repeated story, so
short, and yet so long and agonizing,
in a few words. Should this scrawl
be genuine, how many sad recoilections
and thoughts it will awaken and bring
back to bereaved hearts and orphaned
children And truly, there is nothing
that so sadly touches the chords of sym
pathy in every human heart as a "mes-
sage from the sea " like the above.

He has come to Kansas for the purpose

his aim to make it the model stock farm
of the United States, if not the world.
AS E'nest eggs" he will Immediately
stock his farm with seventeen stations,
a hundred or SO mares, and thousand
head of cows-all fine blooded stock.
Ben Akers, of Leavenworth, one of the
beststock men in the country, will have
the experimenting of the farm. Mr..
Sprague will inspect the lands of the
late Pottawatomie reserve, now owned
by the A, T. & S. F. r. X. Co., with a
view of locating his farm on these lands.
We should be pleased to have him es-
tablish his farm on this reserve" For
the convenience of thousands who will
want to visit this farm, it should be To-
Gated near the capitol city, the political
and soon-to-be railroad center of the

of incalculsble advantage to the stock
growers of Kansas, and by them it will

COLUMN VENDOME.

The Place Vendome, which was re-
Gently destroyed by the Paris mob, was
built by Louis XIV, and on the site of
the monument'iust destroyed formerly
stood an equestrian statue of the Grand
Monarch. That was destroyed during
the first revolution. In 1906, the first
Napoleon had the new monument rails
ed in honor of the success of the French
army under his command. The column
was of the Tuscan order, copied after
Trajan's Pillar was covered with bold
reliefs in bronze, composed of plates
made from the canon captured from the
Russians and Austrians in the German
campaign Of 1905. There were over
1900 figures-the column itself being
surmounted by a colossal bronze statue
of Napoleon l.. represented as a Roman
senator. From the summit of the
monument the best view of Paris could
be obtained, the magnificent church of
Madelaine displaying its handsome col
umn to the northwest, the Obelisk of
Luxor in the Place de la Concorde be-
ing visible ut the southwest, and far
away westward, over the beautiful
Champs Elysees, prominent over all
other objects, rose the celebrated Arc
de Triomphe de rEtoile. The dome of
the Hotel des Invalides, the Chamber
of Deputies, the Pantheon and a score
of other objects of exceeding interest
were also within the range of the mag
nificent monument.
