This distinguished benefactor of the educa.
tional interests of the country having died
yesterday, the Sentinel reproduces the
subjoiDed sketch of his life, from
the ''Great Men of Our Time: HE was
born at Westchester Landing, Westchester
county, N. Y, January ii, 1907. When he
was twelve years ofege his parents removed
to De Ruiter, Madison county, N. Y. His
advantages of school education were very
small. Such as they were, however, he i'm
proved them to the utmost. He was a nat
ural mechanic, and acquired, almost by in
tuition, a knowledge OF and machinery
of all kinds, which enabled him to adapt
himself to all emergencies with won
derful facility. He turned in sue
cession to different kinds of business, and
was wonderfully successful i'm all. Soon
after the invention of the magnetic telegraph
Mr.. Cornell became interested in it, acct
dentally at first, but soon CAV up all other
pursuits to devote his energies to this. 1t was
largely owing to his zeal and energy that it
attained TO the magnificent success which it
has since achieved. Mr.. Cornell, investing
his return in telegraph stock and in West
tern land, became of late years one of the
very few wealthy men in the United States;
and with the accumulation of property came
the honorable desire to expend it for the
good of his fellow men. His first act of
large liberality was the endowment of a
large public library in Ithaca, N. Y, where
he made himself a home. Fifty thousand

Helen M. Cooke, writing verses in the
Golden Age, says that kisses on her brow are
the richest diadems her woman's soul as
pires to wear, 1t may also be remarked that
there are unsurpassed for cheapness, which
is a point worth considering. II Helen is
young and pretty, and will come west, she

enough to believe that they can't shine in

An interesting ejectment case was brought
up In the United States District Court in
Pittsburg, Wednesday, involving some 80
acres of land near the CEN
ter of the city, valued at several
millions of dollars, and known as the
Mowry estate. The suit is brought
by Bernard L.. Meister, of Bay
City, Mich, against f. S. Bes-
sell, Andrew CoInegie, the Keystone Bridge
20. and others who now hold the property.
Meister claims 10 nave purchased from an
Indian woman, Mary Cub Bs, her right TO
the interest in the Mowry estate. She is the
alleged daughter of VIM. Mowry by an In
dian wife and on the legality Of this mar
riage the suit seems to depend.
Are your bushes cares so pressing, or
have they hardened your heart so that you
have no care or thought for the poor old
mother who has looked in vain, so long, for
a letter from her boy? She has suffered,
toiled, denied herself, overlooked your
faults, and prayed for you; the n true
friend you have on caribbean you neglect
her now! Oh, comfort and cheer her, if only
by a few written lines. Don't let her think
she is forgotten. Do you consider how little
she has to interest her? Wealth, honor or
fame have no charms for her now. She has
passed beyond all that. Her happiness is
in her children, and the visions of the
bright, beautiful home in the better land
that is waiting for her. Then do not cast
her of as YOU would a WORKOUT, worthless
garment. Make smooth and pleasant her
downward pathway, that the evening of
life may be calm and cloudless as a summer
day.

BANK ROBBERY

The ST. Louis Republican of the 9th inst.
contains the following additional particulars
ofthe Mississippi bank robbery briefly re-
ferred to by telegraph: A resident of st.
Louis who has just arrived from the south
gives the following account of a most daring
ROBBERY and brutal murder perpe-
trated at Corinth, Miss. The stories Of
Gad's Hill, and the Missouri free-riders offer
nothing more startling in the boldness and
hIoad ss presumption of the authors of the
bloody crime. Three or four DAYS ago. four
strangers, apparently from Texas. made
their appearance in Corinth, Miss. and gave
OUT their intention of making a short
stay in the town. They were all pro-

taking their meals at a restaurant. ON
Monday OF the present week, between the
hours of ! and 2 o'clock p. NJ. an imnortant
case was being tried at the court house. and
There were very few people on the streets. a
large crowd having assembled to hear the
CLOSE or the trial. Taking advantage of
this state of things the four strangers
saddled their horses and rode mo to
the door OF the Tishomingo Savings ~institn-
ton, the principal bank Of the town. where
they dismounted and vent inside. AT the
time the robbers entered there were only
Two persons in the c~ounting-room, namely,
Mr.. A. II. Taylor, president and chief owner
OF the bank, who was engaged behind the
counter, and a colored man named Anthony
Williams, who was outside the counter
near the door. Immediately upon entering
the robbers all passed inside the counter

out on Williams. whom they threatened to
shoot II he made the slightest disturbance.
Inc aifrlghted negro was thus compelled to
witness a horrible scene. One of the man
went straight up to Mr.. Taylor, SAYING, "Old
man, we have

victim, blinded by the blood which streamed
down over his face, still attempted to retist

fatally. In the meantime, the other two

were occupied in this business, Williams
found an opportunity to slip out at the door

was too late, fired at him with
a revolver. The shot fortunately missed

DOLLY WARDEN.
BY BRET HARTE.

Dear Dolly! who does not recall
The thrilling page that pictured all
Those charms that held our sense in thrall
Just as the artist caught her
AS down hat English lane she tripped.
In fowered chintz, hat sideways tipped,
Trim-bodicsd, bright eyed, roguish-lipped-
The locksmith's pretty daughter.
Sweet fragment of the Masters art!
o simple faithi Orustic heart!
o maid hat hath no counterpart
Inlife's dry. dog-eared pages.
Where shall we find thy Ike? All, stay!
Methinks saw her yesterday
In chintz hat lowered, as one might say,
Perennial for ages.
Her fathers modest cot was stone,
Five stories high. In style and tone
Composite, and, i frankly own,
Within its walls revealing
Some certain novel, strange IDEAS;
A Gothic door with Roman piers,
And floors removed some thousand years
From their Pompeiian ceiling.
The small salon where she received
Was Louis Quatorze, and relieved
BY Chinese cabinets. conceived
Grotesquely by the heather;
The sofas were a classic SIGHT
The chairs were French, in gold and white,
And one Elizabethan.
Apd she, the goddess of that shrine,
Two ringed fingers placed in mine
The stones were manyc arets nne,
And Of the purest wafer
Then dropped a courtesy, far enough
To fairly nil her cretonne puff
And show the petticoats rich stuff
That her fond parent bought her.
Her speech was simple as her dress
Not French the MORE, but English less,
She loved yet sometimes, 1 confess,
b. 1 scarce could comprehend her.
Her ANN were quite far from shy;
There was aquiet in her eye
Appalling to the Hugh who'd try
With rudeness to offend her.
"But whence" / cried, "this masquerade?
Some figure for to-nights charade-
A Vatican shepherdeSs or maid?
She smiled, and begged my pardon;
"Why, surely you must know the name-
That woman who was Shakespeare's flame,
Or Byron's-wel, it's all the same;
why, Lord I'm Dolly Warden.

SMART WAITER l r

THE NEGOTIATIONS OF AN OLD FOOL AND A
SHARP HOTEL GIRL.
The New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal tells the following: Last sum-
mer a wealthy manufacturer of New
England visited the White Mountains He
became infatuated with one of The waiter
girls. He was seventy and the maiden was
seventeen. He agreed to give her an education
and adopt her, though he had several daugh-
tiers of his own. She joyfuIIy accepted the
proposition, flung her white apron behind
the door, and started on her new life. OF
course the connection could not be very sat
isfactory to the family. The girl had a vein
of shrewdness about her, and insisted that a
formal paper of adoption should be drawn
up. This was done, and the girl was sent to
a well known educational institution to re-
ceive a little polish. A correspondence
was kept up between the parties. But to
outsiders the matter was not satisfactory,
and the principal refused to receive the
young lady into the school after the vaca-
ton was over. Soon after the gentleman
became crazy, and was removed to a lunatic
asylum; removed, as the girl said, to get him
beyond her reach. The remittances failed,
and OF course there was trouble in the new
school into which the girl had entered. On
the passing away of insanity the infatuation
OF the old man seemed to go with it. He
tried to break up the correspondence with
out Success, and the family exerted all their
influence to recover the fatal bond of adop-
ton, but the girl held on to it. She had, be-
sides, a bushef of letters breathing the most
ardent affection. A %pecuniary negotiation
was set on foot, which at first the maiden
repudiated. She professed to be devotedly
attached to the old man, and did not want
money. But 1t was discovered that the doc
ument, as a legal claim, was not worth the
paper il was written on. Then the young
lady came to terms, and the sum of So. 500
healed her broken heart and wrung from
her an obligttion that she would trouble the
old man no more.

A counc of the oranges of Southwestern
Ohio, Southeastern Indiana and Northern
Kentucky was held at Greenwood Hall, Gin
%cinnati, on Wednesday. About go delegates
were present. A resolution was adopted
that a purchasing agent be chosen,
TO be located in Cincinnati, for
the purpose of purchasing and
selling for the members of the order. The
council also decided that as the price of pork
was so near their views they saw little neces-
sity for packing it. Committees were APP

fruit interests, and the council adjourned to
meet in C~ovington in March next.
