A Wealthy Iowa Widow Finds Her
Son After Seventeen Years.

Son After Seventeen Years.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March ga few days ago
there arrived in this city a middle-aged man
to whose hat and coat were attached cards in
scrihed, "Austen Dallason, Chicago; conduc-
tors, look after; demented." He was brought
to designated hotel by men attached to
train that had just arrived from the East
They said he had been put aboard the train
at Elmira, N. Y, by Superintendent Moody,
of the Bradford county Pa.) poorhouse. They
were met at the hotel by man who relieved
them of their charge and later in the day the
two took a train for Iowa. They
were traced by newspaper men and the
following facts were ascertained: For seven
teen years Austen Dellason had been an in
mate of the Bradford county poorhouse. The
little known of him was that during the re
bell1on he had served in the Union army and
was with Sherman the march to the
One day a foraging party, of which he was
one, raided farm, and Dallason was struck
on the head by woman on the farm. The
blow affected his reason, and soon after he
wandered into Bradford county, where he
became helplessly idiotic, and, as nothing
could be learned in regard to him, he
was placed in the poorhouse. A resi-
dent of Bradford county, who was travel
ling in the West a few weeks ago, overheard
in a small village in Iowa some one men
ton the name of Mrs. Dallason. He found
that widow by that name, the wealthiest
person in the place, had son Austen, who
had enlisted in the army when the war broke
out and never heard of him since She sup
posed that he had been killed He told of
the inmate of the poorhouse of Bradford
county, and, as there seemed to be no doubt
that he was her long missing son, she for
warded money to provide for and pay his
way to Chicago, where he was met by
person who came for that purpose. He is
the only legal heir to his mothers wealth,

[Southern Letter of Ellis H. Roberts i'll Utica
Herald.L
The South has serious questions to deal
with. The negro problem is only one of
them but is involved in others. On the cars
owing to the civil rights law, negro can
claim as good seat a white paying the
same fare. But as a rule colored people are
run into the Eiggar ear, "as brakeman told
me. Separate waiting rooms are provided,
and, as at Richmond, are extensively marked
as ''colored rooms" Separate churches and
separate schools have been generally ac-
cepted.
The negro. who is industrious and thrifty,
is conquering his position; and while the idle
and dissipated will sink, he has already made
himself necessity to the South So one
great question with the South is, who will be
the masters of industry and who will redeem
the soil and make it productive. How shall
population be increased and wealth multi
plieds
The poverty of the South is the startling,
impressive fact. The Atlantic and the Gulf
States are poor in soil, in development, in
prospect. They must have new life put
into then if they are to prosper; and the arts
of production and of growth must be import
ed into them. The first difficulty is to find
the means to produce such results.
No prosperity is possible for the South
which does not include the negro. He is
there the typical laborer, especially in con-
nection with the soil. He is also a mechanic
in the towns, and is smployed in most of the
subordinate places on the railroads.
Prosperity in the Union is the sure cure
for the virus of secess ion. Jealousy Of north
ern wealth and power maddened southern
politicians generation ago. These States of
the southeast can never be other than the
poorer sisters in the Union, but they can be
made to feel that their welfare is part and
parcel of the wealth of the republic.
My observations draw out my sympathy
with these commonwealth, for their poverty,
for their trials, and for the blindness which
prevents most of their leaders from under
standing that their hopes must rest wholly on
accepting to the utmost liberty and law and
equal rights and free ballot for all their
people.

The man of hendricks, choice.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Viee-President
Hendricks attention was tonight called to
recently published report in which he was
reported to have led Representative Bynum
to suppose that he would not urge the ap-
pointment of Aquilla Jones as postmaster at
indianapolis. Mr.. Hendricks replied that he
had made no statement to Mr.. Bynum that
would authorize him to suppose he would
not support Mr.. Jones. When he handed
Mr.. Jones' papers to the Postmaster General
Mr.. Bynum was present and asked that
decision in the matter might be postponed.
A few days later he again met MIR. Bynum
at the office of the Postmaster General and
in the conversation that took place about
this appointment it did not occur to Mr..
Hendricks that he was expected to abandon
Mr. Jones nor in fact was it SO expected.

FERNANDINA, Fla, March 29.-F. S. Win
ston, president of the Mutual Life Insurance
company of New York, died at the Egmont
Hotel at II O'Clock Friday night. He was in

with paralysis and remained unconscious and
speechless till he died. He was attended by
Dr. Palmer, who communicated Immediately
