Quantrell, the Freebooter.

The Lawrence Kan Journal gives an
interesting account of the antecedents and
end of the Kansas robber and guerrilla,
Quantrell, from the lips Of one who had
personal acquaintance with him. His
grandfather was professional gambler in
Washington, bis uncle went to Maryland
Penitentiary for twenty years for stealing;
his father hover, was an honest man,
copper,mith by trade, in Hagerstown, Nd,
where William Charles Qnantrell, who
made the name infamous, was born. The
family moved into Dover, Ohio, where the
senior Quantreli abandoned his trade, and
used his good education in teaching, being,
at hi. death in 1854, Superintendent OF
Schools there; he also published book on
the mechanic arts, and purchased the first
patent right for the practice of the iaguer-
eran art. Will Quantrell left home at hi-
fathers death, for Kansas, and speedily
fell into a reckless and dishonest life. Rob
bing and pillagins, in the true border
rufian style, made the youth notorious
during tie long Kansas troubles, and WI en-
the war came he entered into it with a
zese After running a gang of banditti
on his own account, it was easy to get the
slight countenance of 4 rebel commission.
and he became known as Colonel QUAINT
rel.
The Journals informant says his first
exploit was setting together band of FIVE
10 rob farmer of Kansas City, Mo-, go
ing ahead to ''recornoiter," and revealing
the scheme to the farmer, who, under
Quantreirs direction, ambuscaded them,
and every one was killed. Quantrell was
well paid for his treaoherv, and while stay
ing a, the farmers seduced young woman
who dwelt near, who BECAME hi. mistress.
and accompanied him on most Of his raids
Quantrell used to explain his betrayal of
his comrades by saying that they belonged
to Jennison's jayhawkers, and had killed
two Of lis brothers--a lie, pure end simple
Quantreli's deeds during the war are
familiarly known, and no historian will
omi. to record his daring and mereile.s
raids and slaughter. His sacking of Law
renee was one F,he mos. terrible events of
the wars third year; three hundred armed
and mounted men attacked defense
and unsuspicious town, broke open and
robbed banks, stores and private dwell
ings, burned lS5 dwellings. and killed l40
meY, and made place in history for the
Quantrell massacre. After this the guer-
rilla AID bis band fed across Missouri
into Kentucky without molesta,ion, and
near Columbus had skirmish With Union
troops, in which Quantreil was wounded
in the knee. lie was taken to the hospital
of the Sisters of Charity in Lexington,
where he died about 80 years old; and of
the $500 on his person he gave half to
the Catholic priest who confessed him, and

Trunk Hose.

During the reign OF Queen Elizabeth, of
Englani the famous daughter Of Henry
VIII, the trunk hose" was worn by the
Earl of Leicester and bis compeers. This
article Of dress was made of velvet, silk, or
damask, of the brightest colors. They were
short and very full breechcs, gathered in
10 tight bands at a short distance above
the knee, and distsnded SO that their
Wearers could attain the coveted circnmfer-
ence Of nearly three yards about the hips
by a stuffng of cured horse hair, and
sometimes bran was used. 1t IS stated by
AZ English writer that, in searching the
person OF a young dandy, arrested for 9me
crime, the padding of his trunk hose con

A Remarkable Trio.

A St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Hartford Post probably Minister Jewell)
thus speaks of the late royal marriage in
Russia.
The most striking trio of all were the
three Princesses--one the future Queen Of
England, another her sister" the future
Empress of Russia, and the third the
sister in law OF the trst--the future En-
press Of Germany. The faces of all three
expressed geptleness, intelligence and re-
fncmcnt. The Grand Duchess Marie
were dress of silver heavily embroidered,
and from her shoulders hung train of
claret-coiored velvet, lined and edged with
ermine. On her head 1as tiara and a
sls7ll crown of diamonds, from which hung
a roint lack veil 90 her neck the largest
diamond necklace in Russia, composed of
large perfect diamonds, each with large
drop attached, the whole valued at twenty
waist was covered with diamonds, and
down the front Of her drc,s were rows of
pearls. The bridegroom wore the uniform
Of Russian officer. The dress and train
of the Empress were of gold cloth, her
tInra and jewels, sapphires and diamonds.
The Crown Princesses wore velvet trains
embroidered in gold, and their jewels were
only surpassed by those of the bride"

Three Safe Ways of Sending Money

With all the facilities aff;rdeI the people
for transmitting money viii. absolute safety,
people will persistin sending money IN the
shape of green backs N letters.
Now, with all the chances to which a let
ter IN the ordinary mail is exposed. it is
ipconceivab,e that "A man would risk the
loss of his money in that way, when there
are three practically safe and secure ways
of remitt;ng it.
l. By bank draft, which if stolen is of
no use to the thief, who will very seldom
run the additional risk of IA forgery and be-
ing identified. Such draft, however, can
only be obtained IN towns where bank is
established
2. By a money order. This is absolutely
safe, the Government being responsible for
the money. A money order, however, can
only be obtained at money order offices, but
their number is now 50 great that most
small remit.ances can be made in this way
3. BY registered letter. This is also n
perfectly safe method Of sending money or
valuabIes through the nAails.
This idea we Won d like to impress upon
every man, woman and child in the co nnu-
nifty: Never send money in letter in
the ordinary way" II is not safe, and ii
money is lost there is no redress for the
sender
Either buy dra't at the bank, or a
money order at the postoffice, or have your
letter containing money reg stered.--Pttts-

TempMance.

The Catholic Total Abstinence Union
has an article on the drinking habits Of St.
Patriek's Day, ia which 1t says:
Whoever browns the shamrock in
naudlin revelry desscrates the shamrock
and the day. Whoever gets drunk on St.
Pat-ick's Day offends the God of Irelsnd's
faith and hope, and bows his head before
the devil that has whipped and scourged
her-ihe demon of intemperance. And
the Irishman who reels through the streets,
shouting ter Ireland, stands forth in the
ranks of her worst foes, an enemy to his
native land, even though be wear green
eockade as high as church stet pie. In
the Liz ut Of these facts, what are Catholic
temperance man to do? To beg, plead, be-
seech all our countrymen to cut loose,

ages that, like chains to slavery, have
hung on our necks for weary centuries,

almost starved to death. He had nothing
to give them but plug tobacco and bay
rum, which he carried for his hair, and lie

time the train stopped he bolted cut and

twins had tum5ied of the seat and had q
broken nose; bur he stuffed them both With

A Bond Mystery Fathomed.


just year ago bonds Of the Penn
sy.vania end We. tern Railroad, of the par
value of Sl6S 600, were stolen from the
company's Office, at so Broad street. Mr..
Roosevelt, an official of the company, had
taken them from safe deposit in Broad
way. and on the way was josted by two
alan. 4 little later these men entered
his Office, asked few questions about the
railroad, scanned the apartment closely,
and went cut. Mr.. Roosevelt then sat
down at a desk in one corner, and went to
writing, leaving the bonds on couGter,
with a coat carelessly thrown over them.
After lie had worked busily an hour he
looked for the bonds, and they we're gone.
The two men had sneaked in, and taken
them unnoticed. The detectives worked
at the cases until they satisfied themselves
who the thieves were, but evidence enough
for their conviction could not be got
William c. Brandon is a loan-broker at
No. 746 Broadway. For FIVE or SIX years
the detectives have suspected him of buy
ing and selling stolen bonds. After the
noted robbery of the Waterford Bank, he
was arrested as a participant, and was
acquitted for lack of evidence. Yesterday
Detectives Irving and McDougall, in hunt
ing for the proceeds of recent robbery,
called on Brandon and insisted upon
searching his safe. They did not find
what they were looking for, but came
across 6fty-six Of the bonds stolen from
the Pennsylvania & Western Company.
They arrested Brandon, and he was held
by Justice Bixby for trial in $40 900 bail
He is good looking, aburn-w hi.kered,
welldressed fellow, and takes his predica-
ment coolly, refusing to tell Of whom he
got the bonds. --Ner York Sun.

was equally dazzling and effec-
tive on the quickly fought fields Of the

no German superior, for his works gre ie-
