CHARITY's PORTION.

Judge Hilton said to a newspaper
man; THE public and the press do
not seem to understand that it is more
charitable to furnish employment to
men and women than it is to destroy
their self respect by giving them mo-
ney as to paupers. Mr.. Stewart never
believed in helping people to live with
out work. We have $500 persons on
the pay roll of A. T. Stewart t& Co.,
and l think that l will best carry out
MIR. Stewards views, and be practical.
ly charitable by maintaining the busl-
ness which will keep those $500 per-
sons in honorable employment, so
that they can support themselves and
the thousands of families dependent
upon them. A. T. Stewart was my
dear and intimate friend. His money
was OF no consequence to me, but his
wishes shall faithfully and truly car
ry out TO fulfillment. The working
women's home will be pushed to com
pletion, Garden City will be made
what he meant that it should become,
the carpet mills at Glenham will be
built, and the hotel at Saratoga per-
fected. Further than this do not care
tos-y."

LEEC les - INVESTIGATING BRIsTow.
Washington, April 1S.-The case of
Hallet Kilbourne ended in the District
Court to day by Judge Cartier remand
ing Kilbourn to the custody of Marsh
al Sharpe, thus taking him from the
jurisdiction of the House. Boss Shep-
herd, who was sanding by, was heard
to remark: "He [meaning the Judgel
is right. He is our man." MIR. Glover,
chairman of the committee on the Dis
trict real estate pool, received an an
enymous letter to day stating that
Judge Cartier is a member of the Dis~
trict ring, that his house was given
him by the ring, and naming witnesses
to be subpGnaed to testify to the
charges. 1t is understood that Judge
Cartter's residence in Washington was
obtained in exchange for farm proper
ty in Ohio. 1t seems generally agreed
to day that the ring are triumphant,
aud that Kilbourn will soon be free
man and able to defy the House of
Representatives, who have sought to
unveil the corruption of this District
under the ring government.

Further Particulars of the Death
of John IL. Herdensan, at Rock
Island, III.
1t has not been many weeks since
the editor of the GAZETTE received a
card from the victim Of the terrible ac-
cident described below. We then an
nounced his appointment of s. d. G.
G. He was then in full health and in
dulged the NEST cheerful hopes for the
future. The accident in which he was
killed, occurred on the 7th inst, end
has been heretofore alluded to in the
GAZETTE. He and tive others were
riding in hotel coach to the Rock Is
laud depot, when the driver undertook
to cross the railroad track in front of
a locomotive that was "backing down"
for its train. Mr.. Herdman, anticipa-
ting collision, jumped out OF the
hack, but too late. The locomotive
came in contact with the vehicle, de
stroying the hind wheel, at the same
time throwing him down and rolling
him over for upwards of fifty feet be-
fore finally going over his body
Crushed almost to a jelly below the
ribs, his clothes torn to shreds, he
fingered in agony in the depot to which
he was carried, for about half an hour
and then died. Surgical aid had been
at once summoned. and several men
hastened to the spot, but it was no use
as the wounded man was past all sur.
gical assistance,
MIR. Herdman was member of the
Odd Fellows, in the town where he re-
sided, and also of the Knights of
/ Pythias, and had recently been ap-
pointed State Deputy Grand Chancel-
lor of Iowa, in the latter order. After
the inquest, a member of the Knights
OF Pythias applied to the Coroner, a
Mr.. Knox, of Rock Island, for the re-
mains, but the latter declined to give
them up without instructions from the
lodge of |. o. o, F., at Fort Madison.
This was received after some delay,
when the parties obtaining it proceed
ed again to the Coroner's and found
him absent, the body having been laid
meanwhile, IN stable, without being
washed, or the clothiug-which was
greatly torn by the accident-replaced.
The wife of the Coroner, on baing
shown the order, agreed to let the
body be removed, but refused to give
up MIR. Herdman's trunk, in which
his other clothing was. A new suit
was obtained by the X. of p, and the
remains decently clad. The action OF
the Coroner caused grea. indignation,
and the Gem City Lodge" X. of P,
of Fort Madison, is passing resolutions
of respect for their comrade, which
we find published in the Fort Madison
Ptdsn Dealer, characterized as "bru-
tai and fiend-like."
Nj. Herdman was a nephew of War
den Herdman OF the county prison at
New Castle. He was native ofWhite
Clay Creek hundred, aud was obout %
years Of age, He went West several
years ago, and at the time of his death
was engaged in the dry goods busin, IS
at Fort Madison, and was also a trav-
cling agent for Fay, Hazen, & Co., Of
New York, His remains were brought
to Delaware, and inferred at Iron Hill
burying ground on Wednesday of lest
week.

Anecdotes of the Origin of Words,

LddV is a word which gives us
most pleasing idea of the customs of
our Saxon ancestors. The term is
compounded of two Saxon words,
legf OF laf, signifying loaf of bread,
and dian to give or to serve. Now,
it must be known that it was the fash
ion in times of old, for those families
whom Heaven had blessed with afflu,
ence, to give away, regularly, a por-
ton of bread to those poor neighbors
who might stand in need of assistance,
and on such occasions, the mistress of
the household herself officiated, dis
tributing with her own bands, the
daily or weekly dole. Hence was she
called the taJdy, or the breadgiver,
and, in the course of time, the word
was abbreviated to its present FORM
An English writer of the ast..century,
in reference to this derivation of lady,
observes that, 'the meaning is now as
little known as the practice which
gave rise TO it; yet it is from that hos
pitable custom, that, to this day, the
ladies in this skingdom alone, serve the
meat at their own tables" 1t is to be
feared, that ill the great manorial fam
lilies referred to, even this remnant OF
the old custom is not now very gener-
al. But changed as such fashions may
now be, there are still, we are happy
to think, mary true ladies in this much
abused wOi Id of ours-many generous
bread agiyers; many who feed the
hungry and befriend the friendless.

Negro Ravisiler ~ nched.

AT Danville, KY, the jailer was
awakened bya number of men, and
on asking what was the matter, was
told that a policeman wished to incar-
cerate prisoner, When he opened
the door of the Jail he was confronted
by four masked men with drawn pis-
tolls, one of whom watched him, while
the others released Jim Tarpin, mu-
latto, imprisoned for committing an
outrage upon a seven year old daugh-
ter of Lee Irvine, of Perryville. Next
morning the dead body of the mulatto
was found hanging from tree.

THE BAYARDS.

The New Orleans Bulletin, of last
Saturday indulges in the following Just
compliment to Senator Bayard, of Del
aware, the man who has stood head
and shoulders above all men in defend
ing the rights of the oppressed States
OF the government. 1t says:
"Coutwel's gross, indecent and in
sultilg language respecting Bayard in
the Senate on Thursday is without
remedy, Intense anger is no excuse
for such a base, poisonous and ignoble
TRADE. 1t IS the anger of the idiot,
who bawls, foams and howls while
beating his head against wall. A
Bayard is always aud everywhere a
gentleman, while Boutwell, has proved
anew that a man may put on the toga
of Senator, without putting off the
character of ruifian and q black
guard"
The craftsmanship of the Bayard
family is interviewer with the whole
history of the nation. The first Buy.
ard was the grandfather Of the prese mt
Senator. He was a federalist, but he
was the first as he was among the most
consplcuOusly talented of the few men
OF that party, who advocated the war
of 1912 for the maintenance "of
free trade and sailors rights" AS
early as 1910 he advocated war as the
only remedy for the repeatedly fragrant
wrongs and insults of the arrogant
Biitish government, then under the
control of the Prince Regent, after
ward George the w.
His two sons. Richard III. Bayard
and James A. Bayard, succeeded him
in the order in which they are named,
in the United States Senate. Richard
was strong, talented, patriotic WbIg
the colleague of John M. Clayton in
the Senate of giants, when Clay, Web
ster, Calhoun, Silas Wright, ThoL las
II. Benton, Robert Y. Hayne, al d
other brilliant men encountered in the
arena, and he was always true TO his
country. His brother, James A. Bay
ard, followed him in the Senate he be-
ing Democrat, and of such talent as
to be always chairman of the judiciary
Committee, aud invincible in debate.
He presented the credentials of his sou
the present Senator-elected by the
unanimous vote of the Legislature OF
the State, and second time receiving
all the votes but one. In point of tall
ents, as powerful debater, and as the
fearless champion of the traditional
and time-honored doctrines of the
party, unadulterated by extraneeus is
sues, he is to-day without peer.
In the spotless purity Of his charac-
ter, he reflects the character of his
State, and all the people of the State,
without party bias, are proud of him.
His fathers lofty tone in the matter of
the Credit Mebilier, and his own pure
conduct in the salary grab, are the in
dexes of the Bayard standard of hon
esty. If the Southern heart would do
itself justice, every throb, and every
vibration would be the token of de-
served gratitude to that noble and
pune, and great, and good man, Thorn
as +, Bayard. He was compelled to
give the lie to MIR. Boutwell, because
there was no other way to repel the
fagrant falsehood, and gratuitious in
suit offered him as a reward for the
courtesy which Mr.. Bayard had grant.

The probable effect ola reduction O

The probable effect of reduction of
only 25per cent. on round-trip railroad
fares to Centennial Exhibition is ex-
planned elsewhere. Ifsomething better
than this is not done, the show of
visitors will be lean, and we suppose
the railroad companies begin to under
stand it. What was the use of the
sham rates recently agreed upon, if it
was generally understood among pas
senger agents that they were to be
"cut under" whenever there was a
good chance? Why do not the com,
panies promptly and honestly
announce the lowest rates at whic h
they will carry passengers to and from
