JEFFERsoN,s DESCENDANT.
Strange Story Related of Recently De-
ceased Barber.

TamaQua pa Special in Philadelphia Press.
Simon Jefferson, the colored barber whose
death was reported in to-dayS Press was an I'M
usually interesting individual Previous to COM
ing here he lived in Harrisburg and Baltimore.
aud was q frequent visitor to Washington He
had seen every President from the elder Adams
to Grant and claimed to be descendant OF
Thomas Jefferson. Simons father, he said, was
son of the great statesman by a slave woman,
and Simon was therefore a grandson of the
originator of Jeffersonian simplicity.
In 1865 Simon was jan;tor of Fremont Hail. in
this borough Shortly before Lincoln's second
inauguration Sanfosds minstrels came to town.
One of the performers. who was a con6dant OF
Wilkes Booth for some reason took a fancy to
Jefferson, and told him Lincoln was to be assas-
sinated by Booth. This alarmed old Simon, aad
he confided the secret to ]. f. Blandv, president
of the Little Schuylkil Railroad Company, and
George Brown, prominent mine superintend
ant, but they laughed at the idea Jefferson,
however, determined to go to Washington. Be-
fore Jefferson left for the Capital Booth passed
through Tamaqua on his way from Canada TO
Virginia, and dropped into Simon's barber shop.
Jefferson knew his man, as he had frequently
seen him in Baltimore theaters, and when Booth
began criticising Lincolns policy lively scene
reinaugurated, and declared he would
shoot him himself, but Simon vowed he
wouldn't do it while HE was living Again he
importuned his white townsmen to interfere, but
to no avail. and. closing his shop, he left for
Baltimore and from there went to the Inaugural
ton. He found it impossible, however, to get
near the President on inauguralday on account
of the guards of soldiery stationed everywhere.
but, said he, II iist watched for that man Booth,
and if I'd seen him I'd had him rested right on
sight" But no attempt was made on the Presi-
dents life that day. So Jefferson boarded q
train for home.
The car was filled with Maryland 'secesh," as
ne called them. Booth and Surratt we're in the
party Jefferson said the latter tainted Booth
bitterly about his failure to kill Lincoln that
the actor drew his revolver on his fellow con-
spiratcr to quiet him. and then vowed he would
shoot Lincoln or die in the attempt. Jefferson
have Lincoln warned, but nothing was done. and
a little over month later Booth kept his VOW.

MIR. Blaine at Home.

II. A. Burr, in Philadelphia Times.
There is still great magic in Mr. Baine's name
and ambitions for the people of his State. He is
still magnetic and still popular. There Is a sort
Of halo about him among his own people that is
assuring Yet his leadership has bred much
strife and considerable bitterness in his own
party But the Democratic attitude on the fish
cry question has helped him. So has the Presi-
dents appointments in that section. In Maine
politics are very severe. Fifty votes either way
will elect or defeat dozen State Senators or AS
semblymen. They run politics there exactly as
they run their business. and patronage is great
lever to the machine, whether it 6e Democratic or
Republican. Therefore the policy of the present
executive has strengthened rather than weaken
ed Mr.. Blaine in his own State, and should not
be surprised to see him profit much by the
Democratic stay-at-homes as he loses to the
Prohibition candidates. Mr.. Blaine is popular
socially among all classes. He has many sincere
Democratic friends and admirers His comfort
able home under the shadow of the State Capitol
building, where he began life as a newspaper re-
porter, is very attractive center for great
troupe of friends. Democrats as we'll as Repub.
licans. The house is built of wood, and sits in
the center of ample grounds, well studded with
shade trees. shrubbery and flowers The Capitol
grounds give him park both in front and to the
side of his quiet home. The Kennebec river
flows between beautiful fields mile or so away
1t is in this house that Mr. Baine's political life
has been nursed From it he has managed every
political campaign in Maine since he first went
to Congress. His successes and defeats have
both been heard at and sent from this roof-tree.
1t is familiar spot TO the politicians of Maine
and to many in the Nation.

Two massachusetts women Allow Man to
Drown Because He Is Nude.
Beverly snecial to st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The yreme idiocy which takes possession of
many people in the presence of drowning
human being was markedly illustrated yester.
day. Harry D. Smith, of Chelsey, aged seven
teen, son of a merchant doing business on Broad
street. Boston, who was spending his vacation
with his mother in Hamilton. went to Lake
with cramps, and called for aid to several of his
mates. They supposed him to be fooling, and
simply laughed at his struggles He shouted
repeatedly that he was not shamming, and i'm
plored them to save him. Near by was boat,
in which two young men and two young women
were rowing. The former, hearing young
Smiths cries, started to row toward
him, but were restrained by their female
companions. "You shall not you shall
not,o they screamed take that naked man into
this boatl" In vain the young men remon-
strated with the blushine females and protested
that the young swimmer was drowning before
their eyes The girls insisted on being taken
ashore before the drowning man was taken into
the boat, and so ashore the boat was rowed and
the shocked daughters of Eve were landed on
the banks Then the young men vigorously
pulled their boat back to where Smith had been
struggling in the waves. but they were TOO late.
He had gone down for the last time. His body
was recovered in an hour. but all efforts at re-
suscitaton proved futile. While the body was
being recovered, Smiths mother was suffering
of physician and several others to prevent her
from rushing into the water and to stife her
screams. At the same time one of the too
modest women WAS pacing the depot platform,
biting her lips and occasionally dashing away
tear with her delicate jeweled hand.

Prohibition is disturbing question. 1t dis
turbs neighborhoods which were heretofore
peaceful It is a question which the ballot box
does not settle as it does other questions, but
leaves behind iJ feuds which run into other mat
ters. 1t makes part of the community spy
upon the other part, and destroys the harmony
which would otherwise reign among the business
men and manufacturers That Atlanta will re-
cover from the impression cansed by the with
drawal of So 000 900 of capital from her trade, is
only question of short time. But whether
the alterations of friends and relationships
caused by the heated campaign of prohibition
can be healed is a question which the future
alone can solve.
