THE DEAD JOURNALIST.
SOteldO's Suit for the Hand OF
Miss Clement.

Chicago Tfibune.l
BIDDEFORD, Me, February 17.-A.
NJ. Soteldo, the journalist who was the
victim of tragedy at Washington
last week, was known to a number Of
people In this city and at SaeO. He
was here last summer. and was an
assiduous suitor for the hand of Miss
Clement, whom he came to visit. Miss
Clement is the daughter of Hon. VIM.
A. Clement, of Cincinnati, one Of the
railroad kings Of the West, and Gen.
eral Manager Of the Cincinnati South
ern railroad, and for many years has
been in the habit of spending the
summer here with his family, stopping
at the Yates House at the Pool.
Miss Clement was a beautiful and
attractive young lady, and has been
one of the society bellies of Cincinnati.
Soteldo's attentions to the young lady
were not pleasing to the father, who
used every possible means to break of
the match, but Miss Clement recip
rocated SoteldO's love, and parental
influence and entreaty were of no
avail to move her to give him up
Soteldo disappeared for a time, but
kept up secret correspondence with
Miss Clement while she was here.
One day last August he appeared on
the gtound again, with arrangements
perfected to secure his promised bride.
An elopement was planned and carried
out. By pre- arrangements Miss
Clement went to Sacol and met her
lover at the Saco House on the 11th
Of August. The services of the Rev.
Dr. Nichols, of the Unitarian Church,
had been secured, and the two were
quickly made man and wife. The
young lady returned to her family,
and it was sometime before her par
ents learned of the marriage. When
they were finally apprised of it they
were filled with modification and in
dignation, feeling that their daughter
had made a mesalliauce. The mar
riage shortly after became generally
known, and created quite sensation
in society circles at Washington an
Cincinnati.

WE are inclined to think the Leg
islative Council made mistake yes
terday, in its action whereby all citi-
zens are required to remove their own
garbage. Such law cannot he en-
forced. Where one man complies
with it or half dozen, for that matter,
another one may be irresponsible,
sloucby, careless, indifferent or
defiant. We have great respect for
thomembers of the Council personally,
but majority of them are new men and
they are liable to make mistakes. In
their anxiety to pave the city and to
have something substantial to show
for the money expended, they may
overlook what is still more important
the health Of Memphis. No we'll
regulated city on the continent re-
quires its citizens to carry off their
own garbage, any more than their
sewage, The government can
do these things better and
cheaper under a general system than
the private citizen, and can, by the
exercise Of police supervision, make il
uniform and effective. 1t is false
economy to abate the most stringent
and thorough sanitary regulations.
Memphis is still on trial in the eyes Of
the outside.world, and our own minds
are not without anxiety and doubtSat
times. Under the system proposed
the garbage will simply not be re-
moved. Some people will be TOO lazy,
some too stiDgy and mean, some too
poor and others too contrary to do
it. Some neighborhoods will be kept
clean enough at considerable expense
to residents, whilst others will rsek
with foul smells. To arrest and fine
persons who are filthy from molina
ton or other cause will not remove the
nuisance. Better spend the thirty or
forty thousand dollars required, or
even hundred thousand than to have
the city only cleaned in spots
and the health of the public
endangered by such mistaken policy
as proposed. We hope the Council
will reconsider its action in regard to
this matter, and after this make sani-
tation the prime object and paving
only secondary. Give us health first
and inoprouamanfc navt

Father Walsh.


Nashville Banner, 2l.l
The death of Father Walsh, noticed
in yesterdays Banner, brings to our
notice the wonderful self-sacrifcing
spirit of the Catholic clergy. Without
disparagement to other denominations,
or any wish to do any other an injus.
tice, we must be permitted to say that
in no other religion is there seen the
same devotion to duty as among the
priests of the Catholic church. 1t
almost seems that in scno instances
they court danger, going by preference
among those who are afflicted with
deadly infectious diseases. We all
remember the fatality in that church
during the yellow fever plague of
Memphis in 1889. As fast as one
fell at his post another
stood ready to take his place
without the slightest hesitation. 1t
is true enough the ministers of every
denomination remained in Memphis
at their posts. But not so many suf-
fered by the exposure, and certainly
not so many of the ministers died from
it. Father Walsh was in Memphis.
and visited some patients in the pest
house, from whom he contracted the
disease. But it makes no difference
with them whether the patien as an
infectious disease or not, they 90
where duty calls them, regardless Of
all consequences. 1t was this quality
of self negation which drove them Out
into the bowling wilderness in the
first settlement Of America. 1t was
through these heroic, early missiona-
ries that the greater part of the will
derness was brought to the notice Of
the world. All honor to the Reverend
Father.

CINCINNATI Commercial: There is
tradition that there was a food in
the Ohio, more than hundred years
ago, more tremendous than any that
has happened within our historic days.
The story is that an Indian told the
first settlers a tale that was incredible,
and pointed to a mark on a tree at
such a height that he got the reputa.
tion Of too much Imagination. The
food Of 1882, however, was SO wonder
full that the old settlers remembered
the Indians story, aud were not sure
but it might be so.

THE reelection of DR.. G. B. Thorn
