Editor Labor Enquirer.
DENVER, Feb. Pal am sorry to hear
that you was obliged to appeal for aid to
carry on the great and noble work ot
editing the best, the truest, the boldest
paper west of the Mississippi, but the
majority of such are always in distress
am well aware that a man possessing
your principle must feel the pangs ot
honest pride and manhood lowered to
the lowest ebb when forced to make
this appeal. Yet it is the proper course.
1t cannot be expected that you can live
on air and water and work hard. You
are worthy of the best food and cloth
ing, for you have labored hard for the
poor, not only of Denver, but of the
world at large. Yet those luxuries you
don't enjoy, and know it.
must say from my heart to all the
readers of THE ENQUIRER, shame on you
if yoa ever let this noble, little iron-clad
sink forever after all it has done for you.
The principle of THE ENQUIRER is
broader than the prejudiced religion
many believe in it has overstepped the
boundaries of nationality, and calls all
men by their right names-brothers of
one family and children of One Just God.
What grander principle than this could
be established among men? What bet
ter or holier form of worship can man
offer to God than this? None that l can
see. And let me here say, have been
thoroughly instructed in that grand old
Catholic church, which taught me when
a boy, one of the best and truest forms OF
religion ever uttered by the lips of men
love your neighbor as yourself. But
who is my neighbor? Read the answer
Mankind of every description, without
any exception, even those who injure us
or differ with us in religion.
So you see the principle taught by THE
ENQUIRER is nothing new to me, yet L
almost adore is for prOpagating the long
lost truth that men are brothers the
world over.
l hope no one will get offended at
what said about the creed and church
l believe in. l am the friend of the
poor and the enemy of tyrants, and will
remain 80 until death closes my lips and
and deprives me of the power of speech.
Now, brothers of the workingmen's Or
CARNATIONS of Denver, appeal to you as
true men, for l often sat among you, en-
couraging you by word and example in
the best light God has given me, respond
to the call of The LABOR ENQUIRER.
Come to the relief of your brother who
is at the head of that little bark, not
with wise and nice talk that will do no
good, but with the cash to tide him over
the cold, dark and unmerciful ocean OF
poverty, for such Imust call it. 1t is no
shame or crime to be poor if it is, nine
tenths of the human race are sharers of
this shame May God bless him who
gives cheerfully, and make his path in
life smooth, for it is in a good cause.

The Mysterious Death of Jasper Wharton
at DalIas-A Woman in the Case-Was It'll
Murder simply "a Suicide I've Shall
See.
DALLAS, TEY., June %.
A murder or suicide occurred here
Yesterday that is creating great
deal of interest. Jasper Wharton,
native of Louisville, KY, and who
had resided at Dallas and Corsicans
for several years past, came from the
latter place to Dallas last Saturday He
spent most of his time with Frank Con-
nell and Miss Emma Mansfield, at the st.
George Hotel. Early in the morning he
died from the effects of poison. He had,
it seems, been intimate with young
lady at Corsicana, whom he had betrayed.
He is said to have brought her to Dallas
and sent her north with considerable
money to get her out of the way. He had
been anxious to marry Emma Mansfield,
and went so far as to secure q marriage
license. 1t now appears that Frank
Cornell married this woman under the
assumed name of Frank Mansfield at San
Antonio two years ago, in order that they
could live together without prosecution
by law. When Wharton desired to marry
her two days ago, lawyers were consult
ed and pronounced the San Antonio mar
riage legal. A sensational scene occurred
in Coroner Kendalps Court. Council is
suspected of having poisoned Wharton,
and when County Attorney Clint exam
ined him on the point he tainted away
and had to be given stlmulants when
he revived. Emma Mansfield, while being
examined in the same strain, broke down
and wept bitterly. Connel's examina-
ton was broken off, as he demanded a
lawyer and refused to testify any further
until he had secured one. Cornell will
be placed in jail when the Court ad.
iourns.

"Say, I've one of my own, but neigh
Dor is continually bothering me to loan
him the rig for drive. Have you an
animal which you will warrant to run

"You bet! That old roam there will
make a break before he is driven two
blocks"
Then want to borrow him this after
noon. I'll give that neighbor all the
buggy-riding he wants for year to come"
The horse was sent to his barn ut the
hour agreed upon, and hitched up for the
neighbor and his wife. Luckily for the
wife, the horse ran away before she got
in, and she was thus saved from a big
scare, II not case of broken bones.
When the animal was returned to tho
stable the proprietor inquired:
