PART Iu.-THE END.
Professional business called me to
Brooklyn the day Of the accident, and
when / returned 10 the tenement house
In Avenue A, they were making prepa-
rations 10 wake poor Patsy HOrley'a
body.
He was terribly crushed and mangled
by the rapid rush Of water, and only
lived two hours after he was taken ont
Of the shaft. He was conscious, and his
fellow wOrkmen carried him tenderly
home, Teddy following, weeping
bitterly. They laid the wounded man
upon the bed, and a doctor ministered
TO his sufferings. The walls of the poor
mother were heart-rending. Patsy had
been lying with his eyes closed, but he
finally opened them and asked for
Teddy. The brother knelt by the bedside
and great sobs shook his frame.
"Ba a mon, Teddy" whispered Patsy.
" Sind for Alice and the praistel"
When the little shirt-maker was led
weeping into the room, Patsy asked that
they be left alone, and over that last
interview let us draw a veil. Finally
some one stole into the room and found
them clasped in each others arms.
Patsy was sinking fast, and the priest
approached the bedside and admins
tered TO him the last rites of the church.
Then the dying man was propped up in
bed. He called Teddy and Alice to the
bedside and made them Join hands.
"l'm dead mon," he said huskily.
"Promish me, both of yeez, that yen
be thrue to aich other!"
Both bowed their heads. He beckoned
for the priest and whispered a few words
in his ear.
A smile of thankfulness beautifed the
homely face of Patsy as the last words
of the impressive service fell from the
priests lips, and stretching out his hands
he died before any could reach him.-De-

The Colorado WOOdsman.

THE least known of Colorado charac-
ters is the wOOdsman. Now and then
he makes his presence evident by acts
like one of last winter, when, mastering
100 of his comrades, he rode at night to
Golden, took the Hayward murderers
from the jail, and left them hanging to
convenient bridge; but he soon re-
lapses into his former obscurity. His
individuality is as genuine as that Of
the cattle man or miner, from whose
ranks his are often, for various reasons,
recruited. Dense grOwths of pine COW
cred, and in many places still cover, the
greater part of the mountains. Here
the lumber mills were placed, and here
the woodcutter made hR home in de-
fiance of law. The treatment of timber
lands can hardly be regarded as sue
cessful in this part of the world. No
man could legally cut wood or secure
title to his claim if he settled on this
land 1t lay there, the paradise of
squatters, the secure abode of lawless-
ness. Government not being willing to
sell it or give it away, the sovereign
people took the matter into their own
hands. Needing wood, they took it, and

one might count on being shot. Occa-
sionally an over-zeslous supporter of
Government or the railroad companies
would prosecute the offenders, thirty or
fifty at time, for violation of the tim
ber laws. No jury was ever found to
convict these men, and, on their re-
lease, they took care to make things so
hot for the informer that he left the
country or kept silence for the future.
Had the lands been offered for sale
they would have found ready purchasers,
but the plan of Withholding them has
led to much careless destruction of their
trees.
The woodsman's wants are few. His
log cabin is built in a few days, a big
fireplace saves the expense of stove, a
few boards nailed to the wall make a
bedstead, boxes take the place of furni-
ture, and two OF three shelves support
the kitchen implements. When he has
all these he considers himself man OF
property, and entitled to look for wife.

Rapid COurtshIp at Saratoga.

A YOUNG gentleman from New York
saw a certain young lady at one OF
Lothian's morning concerts and fell des-
perately in love with her; he sought
her name, and subsequently an intro
duction, courted her diligently for two
days, and upon the third was able to in
troduce her as his afiianced wife. The
gentleman is very fine-looking, but
comparatively poor, while the lady is
really one of the handsomest that has
been seen here this summer, and, be-
sides being the child of very wealthy
parents, is said TO be as modest and
amiable as she is beautiful. The lady
also resides in New York and has been
summering with her parents at the
Grand Union, but her lovers finances

place, and he is guest at one Of the

WHEN poor General Sutter first made
his momentous discovery on the banks
of the Sacramento many things that
have since happened would have ap-
peared simply fabulous. Take this for
example: There is a certain journal in
Paris called lie TFi5OUiet. 1t was found
ed by certain wealthy nobleman-the
Baron Harden-Hickey-who has lately
been expelled from France for satiriz-
ing the Government. The Baron
Harden-Hickey is the son of a man
once known, being a poor California
miner, as "Jack" Hickey and jack
Hickev's first. born who originally
drew breath in San Francisco, is iden-
tical with the rich, journalistic and ex-
lied Baron of to-day. There are, after
all, adventures in the real world almost
as wonderful as those of that famous
nobleman OF Monte.Christo in the
world of romance only, strangely
enough, they almost always appear tn
us more amazing in the latter sphere
than in the former.

Queer Work by a Minister.

Queer "Ork by a Minister.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Celso Caesar Maren as, late minister of foreign affairs for King Kalakua of the Sandwich Islands, is now here awaiting the return of Secretary Evarts, to whom he intends preferring charges against Minister Comfy. If MT. Marenas' statements are correct Mir. Comfy has been trying to exercise authority which even the office of minister plenipotentiary would not justify. Mir. Marenas went to the Sandwich Islands for the purpose of establishing cable and steamship communication with countries east and west. He asserts that Minister Comfy has opposed every improvement that was proposed for the Sandwich Islands on the ground that they did not care to have steamship connection with other countries nor cable communication. The American minister seemed to exercise sort of patron izing air over all the islands and threatened them with the vengeance of the United States if they did not do so and so. Accord ing to the statement of Marenas the King and people of the Sandwich Islands are in favor of improvement, but the missionaries fight the idea. Kalakua's ministry op- posed to cable and steamship subsidies. Ma renas by his argument defeated them, and in accordance with English precedent King Kalakua decided that defeat made them un- worthy of confidence. Then it was that he selected Mr. Marenas as his minister of for eign affairs. Comfy, urged to it by the mis- sionaries as Mir. Marenas claims, made the fight personal one and insisted that MT. Marenas should be dismissed. The pressure became so great that his dismissal took place. but acting upon the Kings advice Mr. Ma renas came to the United States to lay the facts before the authorities here. On his way he called upon General Garfield the Re- publican candidate for President, upon Gov ernor Foster of Ohio and other Republicans all of whom endorsed him. When he reached Washington he called at once upon Secretary Sherman, who gave him letter of introduction to MT. Evarts, which he is now anxiously waiting to present

The Horse DisfemneH.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The disease now so prevalent among the horses in this city is not regarded by horsemen as a disorder of dangerous type, and it is certainly not the alarming malady known as the epizootic. The horses in the stables of all the street car com panies are more or less affected. But all of them are at work and making as many daily trips as heretofore. The general impression among horsemen is that the disorder is sim ply heavy cold, which probably arises from the same atmospheric condition which af- fects an unusually large percentage of hu- man beings in this city at present. It has been observed in the stables on the west side that the disorder affects females of the sequi- nine species much more seriously thanit does the males This strange fact was never noted in connection with the epizootic. Thus far the distemper has not affected private stables in any great degree.

 The Fight Against Female Voting.
 SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 3.-The Mormon woman suffrage acts, concerning which a de- cision rendered by the Supreme Court of Utah was considered void by the parties ap- plying for a mandamus because it does not require women to be taxpayers, citizens, of lawful age, or to have stated residence in county or precinct, all of which is required of male voters mandamus was sought to compel the registration officers to strike wo- men from the lists on these grounds. Jus tices Hunter and Emerson denied the writ holding that it will not properly apply in such a case, because the registering of voters is not ninisteral act. They did not pass on the validity of the act itself. Justice Bore man held the woman suffrage act to be in valid, and that a mandamus will apply to compel the registering officers to strike of illegal voters and that the writ ought to issue.
