Destitute.

A case of the worst possible desti-
tuition came to the notice of the po-
lice yesterday. Mary Lowelton came
to Austin from Indiana, reaching this
city Friday night. She had with her
four little children, the oldest not
over five years of age. She expected
to meet her husband here, but before
her arrival he had gone to Laredo to
work in the coal mines located near
that place. She landed in Austin
without a cent of money. A kindly
disposed gentleman procured place
for them to stay over night and yes
terday forenoon she applied to the
mayor for funds to take her to her
husband. In an interview with a
representative of the STATESMAN the
woman could give no reason for the
conduct OF her husband in leaving her
without funds and in restitution, I'M
less, she said, that he might perhaps
be sick. She is a German woman and
appeared to BE perfectly honest in her
story.

The Governor was wiling The Secretay
had some scruples as to the propriety of car
ryiDg the great seal out OF the State. Bat
be finally came to the conclusion that
that might be one way OF serving ones
country. So the agent went to a well
known New York hotel and engaged its
Eandsomest suite for the Governor and Sec
rotary of State of South Carolina The ho-
tel-keeper was glad to have such dlstin-
gaished guests, especially as the agent told
him that they wanted the best OF everything,
regardless of expense. The Governor and
the Secretary OF State Of South Carolina ar
rived IN New YORK at night. That fellow is
light in color, as You see. The hOtel-keeper
received them with great cordially, and they
spent 8 very comfortable night. In the
morning, though, the murder was cut. The
hotel keeper stopped the agent in the hotel
lobby. My dear sir" he said, If can't keep
that dsTky IN nv hotel. / will lose all my
o her quests. he must go il he were forty
Secretarys of State" The agent reported
this TO Scott while the Secretary was dress
ing. We've got to stay right here, said the
Governor in substance. The Secretary is
homesick already. He's skittish. III we
leave altogether. Go down and tell
that fellow We'll take his whole hotel If
necessary Down went the agent See
here he said to the hotel man; they've got
to stay right here. They'll keep IN their
rooms as much as possible. You can send
their meals up, and I'll see that any loss you
suffer because of them is made good when
they go away All right said the hotel
man, Immediately calculating good Iolnd
sum for damages. So there they stayed
for foIty-ive days. All day long they were
signing and sealing-the Secretary hardly
knowing the significance of what he was do
ing. The Secretary was treated royalty. He
did not drink so the usual chamnapne tactics
were not resorted TO. But he liked good
food, flowers, drives, books, music; and they
gave him his fill. Kalakua never lived any
better than did this poor student for forty
five days. Then, thes bonds having all been
signed and sealed, the big seal was PACKED
away in the Secretary's trunk, and the Gov
ernor called for their bill 1t was paid with
out word; so were all the other bills; and
then the Governor and Secretary OF State
rode away"
