To the President of the Young Mems

Enclosed please find my applica-
ton for membership to your club,

have known my work in the tenn
perance cause for thirty years will
need no explanation of my course
in this step. Those who have only
known me as Republican may
need a word. l stumped the vicin-

the flag of that grand old "party of
moral ideas" in all its glorious bat
ties ever since, as my great grand
father fought under Washing ton
through the Revolution, and as his
great grandfather fought King
Philip for the salvation of infant
New England. But not the scalp
ing Indian, nor the oppressive
Briton, nor the pro-slavery rebel
lion, nor all of them combined,
were so dangerous foe to America
and mankind as is the rum-colos-
sus of to-day. New England was
saved, independence was secured,
the Union was saved. The next
war is to save America as whole
from the Gorgon rum. And now

CAPTURED BY A COUNTESS.
Romantic Exploit of an Emigrant CRva-
lier With Two Wives at st. Paul.

From the Rea0 York World.
81. PAUL. MINI, Dec. 30.-Gov. Hub
bard has pardoned T. G. McAtee, alias
Gerald Moore, from State prison, where
ne was serving three-years sentence for
bigamy. The case has all the elements of
a genuine romance. In 1880 McAfee left
his wife in the Emerald Isle to seek Tor
tune in the New World. While making
the ocean voyage he was admired by
Countess Won Mutzenbach, a charming
brupette of about 80 years, whom he met
for the first time on the steamer. Upon
arriving at Castle Garden they were we'd
ded. One day on the street he met
Thomas Lodge, the brother of his
first wife. The unlawful couple i'm
mediately left New York 10 escape
suspicion and located in st, Paul,
where McAfee engaged in the book busl-
ness under the name of Gerald Moore.
Mr., Lodge kept his eve out for his bI other
in-law and finally traced him, with his
newly-made bride, to this Western cOun-
try. and subsequently, upon the arrival of
his sister, Mrs. McAfee No. /, the derelict
husband was arrested for bigamy. Wife
No. 2 took up her residence in Saltwater,
and constantly cared for her husband
during his incarceration.
Upon his release from jail he proceeded
at once to this second wife. and they were
apparently happy. Wife No. has aban-
dOned all hopes of keeping her husbands
love, and will, as soon as she has been a
resident of the State one year, institute
an action for divorce. The eX-COuntess
Won Mutzenbach has history which reads
like a novel. She claims to be the daugh-
ter of Commodore Meade, of the United
States Navy, and a niece of Gen. Meade,
of the United States Army. At the age of
10 years she married G. II. Lands, Of
Vineland, N. j., but several years later
was divorced and went abroad. At Nice,
in 1879, she met Baron Won Mutzenbac
and married him. He soon died, and she
returned to America. 1t was on the YOy-
age that she met and was wooed bv Nc
Afee. 1t was said that she was left i'm
mense wealth by the death of the Baron,
which netted her an income of $40, 600 per
annum as long as she remained single.
This dowry was lost with her last mar
rage. 1t is also stated that she has two
children by her marriage with the Baron,
who are being educated in Paris.

and Not College Men to Teach Them.

Agent Hall Says They Need Farmers
and Not College Hen to Teach Them.
DALLAS, Jan. Capt. Lee Hall, Indian
Agent of the Comanche, IIiOwa, and Wi
chita Indians, is in Dallas, prosecuting
thieves who have been stealing ponies
from Indians and running them into
Texas. In an interview to-day he said:
''What is needed most to make the Indian
a farmer Is for him to work side by side
with white farm hands. | would rather
have fifteen white farm boys to work with
my Indians, than all the college gradu-
ates and theoretical farmers in the coun-
try. The Indian is an imitator, ana the
plan l suggest would make fine farmer
of him. If adopted at all Indian agencies
the problem of civiIizing the Indians
would be solved in eighteen months. A
few months practical iarm experience at
the agency is worth more to the Indians
than all the theory farming that can be
taught in as many years at the Indian
schools of the East.
cat my agency there are about 4,20O
souls, and the work of instruction is nee
essarily slow. They each have an aver
age of about five head Of live stock, and
the Wichitas are doing very well. The
cattle men have rented land from them,
and the proceeds from the lands gives the
Indians $40 each. Ii the government in
tends to allow leasing it should make the
oowmen pay the rents in heller cattle. In
two years the beef or meat supply uues-
ton would be settled. believe if this
course was adopted and the Indians were
taught practical farming, they would
support themselves IN less than three
years.
E''rhe books of the agency show that
within the past three years 700 horses
have been stolen from these Indians by
thieves from the Cbickasaw nation and
white men from Texas. 1t is hard to con-
vince these wild Indians it is not right to
retaliate. They say we are not on the
war path. The white man steals our
ponies. Why should we not steal from
him? 1 tell them that it is wrong, but it
can't go much further. l am down here
now to see if / can't get some Of them pun
ished. | have written TO Washington
asking for a couple of men. l think with
them L can manage to make it uncOm-
Portable for the thieves"

BIG PROFIT IN GAS.
a Ton of Coal Yields Profit of 81

From the Neso York Journal
The Senate Gas Committee held a ses-
sion at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Wednes-
day. Francis W. SanbCrn, of Brooklyn,
was witness. He recommended placing
a gas governor on each floor OF house or
business establishment. He agreed with
DR.. jackson that IRON 40 to 80 per cent
of gas is wasted, and the effect of the
waste on the health of human beings COM
PEELED to inhale il is exceeding delete
rious.
The witness said the price of gas in
Washington used to be 50 50per 600 feet;
it is now 81 so. In Chicago it is 81. Gas
for heating and cooking purposes ought
to be supplied for about 20 cents per 600
Gu bic feet, and it would furnish a superior
article to coal for cooking and heating,
avoiding smoke, smell and debris, and
being in every way so much cleaner than
coal.
The increased consumption of gas, if it
was generally used for heating and cook
ing purposes, would tend to reduce the
price, because it would relieve the pres
sure in the mains and prevent the waste
by compelling a full supply all the time.
This would be in the Interest OF the con-
sumner. n
.'How much gas Gamble extracted from
a single ton of cOalG' he was asked.
"A ton of coal will afford 1900 feet Of
gas and also a chaldn6n of coke, which
sells for SO TO SO so; eleven gallons of coal
tar, worth SO barrel, and from seven to
ten gallons of ammonlal liquor, worth
soc. The English Parliament compels
gas companies to supply regulators to
consumers at the companies expense.

placed burners on great many buildings

WARDS WICKED PARTNERS.

Warner and Work Endeavorlng to Es-
cape Punishment for the Marine Bank
Frauds
WASHINGTON, Dec. Silt is undei-
stood that the circumstances which In
duced the counsel of Warner and Work to
submit proposition to pay back 10 the
creditors of the Marine bank $l52, coo, the
full amount Of the checks upon which
their present Indictment was found, were
as follows:
When the bank failed its affairs were
placed IN the hands OF a receiver, who
acts under the instructions of the Comp
troller OF the Currency. 1t was the duty
OF that receiver to make every effort to
collect all that was due the bank, and in
the course OF his investigations he dis
covered that Mr. Warner was indebted to
the bank in the sum of $l52, 900 for checks
which he had drawn unlawfully, and
ciYil suit to recover that amount was in
sututed. The Department of Justice In
Jhe meantime was pursuing an investga-
ton to discover who was liable to crImi-
nal prosecution for violations of the
United States statutes in connection with
the failure of the bank, and, of course,
the receiver gave all the information
which he had acquired in his own eXami-
nation.
AS IA result, Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Work
were indicted for issuing these checks for
$4,000 in violation of section 5229, Re-
vised Statutes. When the civil suit
reached the point where counsel for the
government made q demand upon the
counsellor Mr.. Warner to pay the $l52, 0O0,
the proposition was made In behalf of
Warner and Work to pay the full amount
OF the checks on condition that the crimi-
nal proceedings were dropped. 1t is I'M
derstood that this proposition was for
warded by Dstrlct-Attornev Dorsheimer
to the Attorney General, and was by him
referred to the Comptroller of the Curren-
cy, under whose directions the civil suit
is being prosecuted, and that officer adj
vised against its acceptance.
The fact that an offer was made to pay
the full amount claimed by the govern
ment is considered an admission OF liza
bility, and also an evidence of guilt under
the criminal indictments. Warner and
Work will both have to stand trial.

Achievements of This Learned Man
Henry Bergh's Criticism Answered.
From the Neae York Star.
LONDON, Dec. 30.-Your correspondent
yesterday visited NJ. Pasteur's laboratory
in Paris. N. Pasteur was too busy to do
more than extend cordial greeting to the
reporter and afer him TO his Chief assist
ant, DR.. Grancher, for information in re-
gard to the details Of the treatment for
rabies. NJ. Pasteur's little corps of as
sistants regard their chief with the deyO-
tiol inspired by great leader.
/ WAS somewhat amused when NJ.
Graneher showed me a newspaper which
had been sent him. containing a cOmmu-
nlcatiOn by Henry Bergh, champiOning
the cause of the Newark dogs, and descri-
bling Pasteur as ''an obscure druggist,
smarting under his Obscurty and seeking
notOriety."
"Who is this Mr.. BerghY INQUIRED the
doctor, Sand is it possible that such igno-
rance concerning NJ. Pasteur exists in

1 assured the offended gentleman that,
while the American people might esteem
Mr.. Bergh for certain humanitarian ideas,
they would hardly regard him as a safe
guide in scientific matters. This assur-
ance somewhat appeased the doctors in

A NEW DEMoCRATIC SCHEME
How 1t Is Proposed to Have Dakota Ad-
mftted as n state.
From the Philadelphia Press, tRsp.l

ultIbcu AS n StAbes
From the PhHGde1phta Press, tRsp.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA new scheme
regarding the admission of Dakota
as state will be pushed in Congress this
Winter under purely Democratic auspi-
ces. The Republicans Of Dakota want
the territory divided on the 10th parallel
and the Southern half admitted as a state.
Bills for this purpose were introduced in
10 the last Congress and presented again
in both House and Senate before the hOli-
days. A so.called State Legislature,
composed chiefly OF Republicans, was
held about two weeks ago in Huron, at
which the organization OF State govern
ment was perfected for South Dakota and
United States senators elected. The &C
ton Of this Legislature aroused the ire Of
Senator Vest, who denounced the pro-
ceedIngs in the Senate.
The Democratic programme will be 10
procure the passage OF an enabling act by
Congress allowing the people Of the entire
Territory TO form State government, and
the leading Democrats OF the Territory,
led by Mr.. Abe BOynton, VIII urge the
passage of the bill. The principal oppo-
sition TO the admission of the Southern
half Of the Territory has come from Dem
Ocrats believing that the new State will
be Republican in politics. Mr.. BOynlOn
and his friends think that il the whole
Territory is admitted the Democrats Will
have a good chance TO carry II. A year
and half at least would elapse under
1.-THE new plan before State government
scOud be organized.
After the passage OF an enabling bill the
people would be required TO frame a con-
stitution which must be submitted 70 Con-
gress for its approval before the proposed
government could be organized. Within
the next eighteen months the Democrats
Of Dakota, by the aid Of federal patronage
and the control OF the public domain, ex-
pect 70 build up strong party.
