A Romance Of the Hayden Trail.
New York Times. I

There is a curious romance connected
with the Hayden case which those keen.
sighted gentlemen, the newspaper CORE
spondents, have not been successful in
transferring to their notebooks Mr..
Hayden's most intimate friend previous
to his arrest was young man of fine
culture and education, graduate Of the
Wesleyan University, and the son of a
prominent physician in the town of Clin-
ton-a large village contiguous to Rock
land, where the Stannard tragedy was
enacted.
The struggling Methodist minister and
the young man Of fortune were like "Da-
mon and Pythias" in their friendship
frequent visitors of each others houses.
and capable of great self-sacrifce in each
others interests. When Hayden was ar
rested for the murder of Miss Stannard,
the young man at first seemed dazed by
the event, raved wildly against the min
isters accusers and excited suspicion that
his violence might lead to another trage-
dy, in which some one OF the witnesses
against his friend would pay the forfeit
with his life. subsequently, however, he
became calmer and more tractable, and
passed his time hour after hour in walk
ing up and down his room, wailing,
Herbert will be hangedl Herbert
will be hanged, and I can't save himw
The mania finally assumed q form 30
violent that medical interference became
necessary, and the young man was re-
moved to private asylum in Middle
town, where he remained for several
months under medical treatment. He
has recently returned to his fathers
house, convalescent, but apparently with
out recollection of the tragic episode,
which is never mentioned in his presence.
The young man is described az a person
of fine intellectual capacity, and is known
in the musical world as the composer Of
a number of popular songs.

Miss Bronte says that fortune is pro-
verbally called tickle, but that her tickle
ness sometimes takes the turn of repeat
ed strokes of luck in the same quarter.
So far as outsiders can tell, this seems to
be the case with the young nobleman
whose name is now 50 prominent in con-
nection with the recent memorable cleo
ton campaign in Scotland. Three years
ago, when Lord Rosebery was so we'll
known in social circles here, he had rank,
affluence, good looks, pleasant manners,
and reputation for ability; but since
then he has proved this last, and, by his
marriage with an. heiFesss of fabulous
wealth, added immensely to his position
as political power. The fact of Mr.. Glad
stone having made Dalmeny his head
quarters and put himself, as it were,
under the local guidance Of its owner, is
in itself a mark Of great confidence, and
to be accepted as proof Of the promi-
nence he is likely to have when new
Government comes to the front.
