A Mar Abnndons His Chndren to Actual
Starvation,

A gentleman called at the editorial
rooms Of The LEADER yesterday and
stated that a case Of abandoned, which
merited publicity by reason Of its de-
pravity, had come under his personal OBJ
~servation. For the corroboration of his
almost increditable story he referred TO
four thoroughly responsible ladies and
gentlemen. An interview with the per-
sons mentioned resulted in the unanimous
narrative of the following account of the
alleged cruelty:
The man who is charged with abandon
ing his children is a widower. He is en-
gagged in an easy and fairly lucrative
business but for some time has occupied
one room, in which apartment his
daughter, a girl some IL years old. and a
boy, about s years of age. have also
slept The room is fairly well furnished
but contains no stove nor any appliances
for cooking. 1t has been his habit to go
to his room, compel the children to arise,
and sometimes with blows and kicks turn
them out into the cold winter air. Day
after day the little ones have gone to
school without either breakfast or dinner;
times without number they went to bed
without any food during the entire day
and cried themselves to sleep. The sys-
tematic neglect Of the children attracted
attention and one kind lady gave them
food for some time but unable to support
them she applied to the
County Commissioners. The board
was powerless to act in the matter, but
one commissioner gave the lady $40,
however, as a personal donation. At
the time of the recent snow storm the
little ones were out in the cold and were
entirely unprotected by sufficient cloth
ing.
To make a long story short, one lady
recently took the Eirl. who is spoken of
as a child of rare mental qualities, and is
now giving her a comfortable home.
Another kind lady recently purchased
comfortable clothing for the boy, and is
also providing him with food.
The girl, with rare stoutness Of heart,
at first denied that either her brother or
herself were starving, but the demands
Of nature eventually mastered. She told
her pitiful story Of abuses long endured,
and since that time the brother and sister
have been cared for as objects of charity,
but still saved from the depths of priva-
ton.
The worst feature OF the affair is that
the father of the children has been heard
to say that he wished the damned brats
were dead, and that instead of provid-
ing for them, as every human impulse and
divine law makes it a mans duty to do,
he spends his money in dissipation. The
county and city authorities are fully
advised Of the matter. but the case has
been one wherein they were powerless to
act.
The girl can have a good home where
she now is, and the boy is worthy of
adoption by some family that is able and
willing Il accept such a charge. The
testimony herein related in brief appears
to be beyond question, and publicity is
given to the case as being one worthy of
public cognizance-

A Handsome Testimonial to Hon. An
drew Gilchrist Last Evening.


A pleasant party assembled last even
ing at the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Gilchrist to wish them a safe and
pleasant journey to the old country. The
gathering was an informal one and while
the interest of the hour engaged the at
tention of all Mr.. John II. Gordon
stepped before Mr.. Gilchrist and handed
him a massive gold-headed cane. Mr..
Gordon's presentation address was a
short one and in biief was as follows:
I'm ancient times when travellers started
On a journey they were supplied with a
staff. It's origin is lost in obscurity, but
it must have coeval with man, for we find
it mentioned in the Oldest of books about
Jacob leaning on his staff; and the same
book relates about a man whose staff was
like a weaver's beam. Solomon speaks
about the staff, and the first great advo-
Gates OF Christianity when they started
out on their glorious mission, we're sup
piled with the staff.
1T has played a very important part in
history. Secret messages have been trans
mitted by it. It is even said in early
times it was used to purloin wares from
the East
1--WE know it has been the companion
Of the peer and the peasant in all ages Of
the world. and even accompanies them to
the very portals Of the tomb, where in
some countries it is deposited with the de-
ceased. In Aud Scotland it is pre-
served as an heirloom with sacred care.
Hardly any work Of art assumes such
grotesqueness as the staff-from the
lrishman's corrugated blackthorn to this
splendid work of art now before me. In
fact, being of an observant turn of mind
and somewhat ola physiognomist as anov-
ice. | have observed that the staff Il person
carries indicates character. We know that
this staff and your character fully harmon
ICES, straight as a line, polished to perfec-
ton Of choicest material and crowned
with gold. In presented you with this
slight testimonial Of our esteem and regard
it does seem l ought to refer somewhat
to your past career, knowing you as [ do
longer than any one in tins Territory, and
whom to know is to appreciate. Since
YOUR first settlement here vour efforts
have been an unparalleled success. By
your far-seeing eye and mature Judgment
you have set an example well worthy of
emulation and imitation. Nature has
been lavish in supplying you with a splcn-
did physique, combined with a natural
fortitude and perseverance. These char
acteristics have enabled you to battle with
western life when it was less civilized
than now, and as your friends we do hope
and trust, as we judge the future by the
past, that your future achievements and
~unsuIlied example to your fellow man

INQUEST DEVELOPMENTS.
The Inquiry Into Ford's Death Reveals
Pre-arranged Suicide.

The jury in the case of Hobart Ford,
who was found dead in his bed at Dyer's
hotel Saturday evening, met'yesterday.
Full particulars of the finding of Ford's
body were given in THE LEADER Sunday
morning.
Various witnesses were examined and
a number Of letters found on the person
Of the deceased were read. A careful ex-
animation of the body showed that Ford
died from the effects of morphine or
laudanum, while the letters clearly show
ed that the drug was taken in accordance
with a carefully arranged plan of suicide.
These letters were Eve in number and
were addressed to relatives Of the deceas-
ed. They we're unsealed and plainly ex-
posed the suicidal purpose of the writer.
He asked that his body be not made the
subject Of a post mortem examination,
that certain of his former friends be the
pail bearers when his burial took place in
Ohio, and stated hat he was driven to
suicide by reason of the failure Of his life
and the hopelessuess of his situation.
The Jury decided that he came to his
death from an overdose of morphine ad-
ministered by his own hand.
A telegraphic messaged wal received
Sunday that a relative would come from
Ohio and take the remains East, but yes

New Postal Notes.

The Postoffice Department has substi-
tuted the postal notes heretofore in use by
new ones Of better quality and design, and
in other respects showing a dcclaca inn
provcment. They are printed on reddish
gray paper instead OF the >icklv yellow OF
the old. Coupons for 81, s., s. and$4 are
attached, and bv the number Of coupons
remaining when the note is torn from the
stub book its value is asccrtained. On the
right end of the note the cents are punched
out, the new note requiring but two punch
es instead Of five, as did the old. On the
reverse are blanks for stamps Of the issuing
and paying Offices. The old notes having
been raised by filling holes and punching
new ones. the coupons on the present note
are expected to overcome such objection.
