Death Of Mrs. Marshall Jewell.

Mrs. Marshall Jewell of Hartford
died very suddenly Monday morning
of heart disease i'll New York, at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur
NJ. Dodge. After the death of Gov.
Jewell, Mrs Jewell went to New York
with the DOdges on their return home.
She planned to make them a short
visit and then was going for IA months
Journey in Florida with "A party of
friends. She was intending to return
to Hartford Saturday to prepare for
her Florida trip, but her son-in-law
telegraphed Pliny Jewell that she did
not feel very well and would wait till
Tuesday. Tuesday he telegraphed her
death. 1t is not known that Mrs.
Jewell had shown symptoms of heart
disease, but she was Il stout person and
took almost no exercise and was of the
physique that such disease develops in.
Mrs. Jewell was Miss Esther Dickinson
of Newburg, n. Y. She married Mar
shall Jewell in 1852. She was fifty
years old at her death. She was IL
woman of fine personal appearance,
and of excellent mind, thoughtful and
intelligent, and IA graceful and dignified
hostess, and although she did not go
out much in society of recent years, she
had large circle of acquaintance and
friends. Always interested in public
affairs, she was bright talker, and
while in Washington became some
thing of social leader. She had I'M
usually good taste in art and a special
fondness for ceramics. Her private
collection of china contained many rare
and beautiful specimens. Her death

and all the rest. Now every soul uses
thread. The baby's first garment and
the dead mans last one use thread.
That is one reason why the thread mill
is one of the cases which ought to be
used. The whole point of my lecture
on the Forgotten Man" is to bring ont
the forgotten, scattered, neglected
classes who pay, and to attack the fall
lacy of fixing ones attention on the big
crowds, the large interests, the Petted
classes. 1t atfirms that there is always
somebody who pays, and that it is al
ways the sober, honest, industrious,
economical man or woman, who at
tend no meetings, pass no resolutions,
never go to the lobby, are never men
toned in the newspaper, but just work
and save and pay.

Miss Nellie Witty is very sick with
typhoid fever.
Joseph Gould died at his home in
this place Monday evening, Feb. %,
at seven o'clock. Mr.. Gould came to
this place about thirty five years ago,
and by his raight-forward, open and
manly ways implanted himself deeply
in the hearts of his townsmen. His
decease will be felt by all as loss of a
sincere friend and an upright, honest
and much-respected citizen. Mr.. Gould
has held many town offices and always
discharged them with trust. He was
formerly the owner of the wooden
manufacturing works at this place be-
fore they were burned. Since then he
has followed no special occupation.
His health has been poor for several
years. Last spring his wife met with
an accident that resulted in her death,
which was il severe blow to him. Since
then he has gradually grown feeblel
until the last. There probably never
lived "A man to whom the saying, ''He
had not an enemy" could be so literal
ly applied as to him, and his every ac-
quaintance was his friend. Mr.. Gould

Some Peculiar People.

The London Telegraph says: Robert
Cousins was charged with neglecting
to call in medical assistance for his
child, Alice Maria Cousins, aged II
months, whereby life was endangered.
The facts of the case have already been
reported, and verdict of manslaugh-
ter has been returned by coroner's
jury. DR.. Price, senior physician of
Guys hospital, was called, and, in
answer to Mr.. Chance, said lie be-
leved the child's life might have been
prolonged if medical aid had been
called, but he could not say for GER
tain. A witness named Matilda Tay-
lor was examined, and stated that she
was one of the Peculiar People" She
knew the child was very i'll, and it
was prayed over. Mr. Chancellor
think it wrong to call in medical aid?
Witness-Yes, we trust in the Lord
Mr.. Chance-Suppose your leg is
broken? Witness-The Lord has not
told us what TO do in that case, but
does tell MS in sickness what to do. Mr.
Chance-According to your ideas, it is
equally wrong TO practice the art of
healing. II is really wonderful how
persons can have such narrow minded
fanatacism. 1t was most guilty and
unfeeling conduct to adopt. You take

Sport Among Zuni Children.

One day saw some of the children
playing at "breaking horses" One
Juvenile demon was leading band of
four or five others, in the pursuit of n
big bristling boar. Lasso in hand, the
little fellow watched his chance. and,
twirling the flexible cord once or twice
rapidly in the air, sent 1T like lightning
toward the head of the boar. The lat
ter made desperate dash only to run
his snout and forefoot into the coil,
which, held by the combined efforts of
all, quickly precipitated him, in sue
cession of entangling somersaults, into
the shallow river. In an instant an
other lasso was dexterously thrown
over his hind feet, and his captors,
needless of mud and water, wild with
vociferous glee, bestraddled him, and
held him down. The leader tore of
one of the legs of his cotton trowsers,
and with this he bandaged the eyes of
the squealing animal, wrapping an
other piece tightly around his snout SO
as to smother his cries. Thus equipped,
the hog was set at liberty. Two of
the little wretches, jumped astrde him,
while the others prodded him behind
and at the sides. Thus goaded, the
poor beast ran uncertainty in all di-
rections, into corrals, over logs, head
long into deep holes, precipitating his
adventuresome riders; not. however,

Sioux City Journal.
About year ago young woman
named Sallie Craig, living between
Loveland and Honey Creek, was the
sweetheart and promised bride of
William Moss; young farmer, who
resided in Loveland. In few months
it was agreed that they should be mar
ried. Before the wedding-day ar
rived, however, trouble arose between
the lovers over the somewhat too at
tentive presence of John Points. also
n young farmer, who resided near
Honey Creek. Moss and the girl
quarrelled and separated, and she was
thereafter for n time the beau of his
rival. Subsequently the first lover and
the girl met again and partially made
up their differences. This enraged
Points, who had come to regard her rs
his own, and he fought to pick a
quarrel with Moss and in some way
get an excuse for putting his hated
rival out of the way. The men met
on two occasions during the past three
months and each time had a quarrel
and would have fought, but were pre-
vented from doing much damage by
the circumstances and parties who
separated them. At dance about ten
days ago the rivals again met and
came to blows. They were again
separated and the girl was appealed
to to determine the question by choos-
ing the one she liked best. She was
unwilling to do SO, but said that she
would 90 with the one who proved
himself the best man. 1t was accord
ingly agreed that time and place
should be fixed and there the men
should fight it out, the one who was
whipped to foreverre relinquish all claims
to the hand of the cause of the trouble
The dispute by this time had been so
widely talked of by the people of both
Loveland ard Honey Greek that a
natural jealousy between the two
places easily caused the citizens of
each to take sides. The place of the
fight was agreed upon as half way be-
tween the respective residences and the
time Thursday afternoon. A man
from Loveland seconded Moss and
Points brother acted as his second.
The fight was not to be conducted ac-
cording to any specified rules, but in
the most approved rough-and-tumble
style. When Thursday afternoon ar
rived about sixty people were on the
ground, among whom was the girl
over whom the contest was caused, to
witness the brutal affair. The seconds
stood with cooked revolvers in hand
and warned no one to interfere. The
men commenced fighting fiercely. They
used fists, heels and teeth, and in clinch-
ing and tumbling about rolled over a
large area of ground. The fight lasted
fifty-tive minutes, and throughout was
one of the most brutal character. II
was brought to fatal conclusion by
Points strength entirely giving way
and then Moss, with the last efforts OF
his madness, stamped upon his
PROSTATE foe and crushed in his breast
and kicked in his head. The spectators
at this overpowered the seconds and
dragged the men apart. Points was
dying when picked up, and expired
soon afterwards.
