the pen, in proportions to the few who
attain to permanent literary fame. OF
all the classes of writers, that of journ-
alism seems to be the most favored at
the present time by aspirants for literary
distinction. Now while it is true that
not a few of those who are to-day num-
bered among the "Illuminatin of Amer
ican writers, have been journalists, does
not follow that all who become good
journalists will in course of time become
illuminate; that journalism is the main
avenue to honors in letters. There are
distinguished American publicists whose
merits were first discovered in their emf
nent services as members of the Ameri-
can bar, whose profound knowledge and
proficiency of the practice of medicine
and surgery have raised them to emi-
nence, whose eloquence in the pulpit or
on the forum of the American Republic
has held their audiences spell-bound;
and moreover there is scarcely any voca-
ton or craft through which some gifted
individual has not risen to position
more are less prominent in letters.
But now another highroal to literary
fame has been opened up. The thorny
and uncertain path to craftsmanship
need no more be travelled; the straight
and narrow way to redemption will be
ever afterward abandoned; the volumin-
GUS and bulky text book and the ghoul-
ish dissecting table will lose its fascina-
tions; the musty law book and the
well-studied brief will gather mould and
dust together; the brain-rackcd penny
a-liner will no longer burn the midnight
oil, and always write, while at the same
time with easy ingenuity he calms the
plaintive walls of those treasures his
Heavenly Father has sent him.

A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
The Murdered Remains of Million
aire Amos j. Smell.
Found Dead in His Handsome Chicago
Residence, Covered with Blood and
Bullets in His Body-Mur.
dered by Burglars.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-fSpecial. IA ghast-
ly sight met the gaze of Amos J. SHELLS
hired man when he entered the house
at AIS Washington Boulevard, this
morning, to attend to the furnace. The
hall was covered with blood, and bullet
marks were scattered about the walls.
At the head of the stairway leading to
the basement, was the dead body of
Mr.. Smell, with bullet hole in his
head and another in his breast. The
servant girl heard number of shots
between one and two o'clock, but was
afraid to investigate the cause. SHELLS
revolver was found by his side with
one of the chambers empty. He must
have been shot before reaching
the spot where his body was
found, as bloody tracks were easily
traced on the floor from the door, A
burglary had been committed, as the
panel Of the kitchen door was cut out.
1t is supposed that Smell heard burglars,
and descending, pistol in hand, to in
vestigate the cause was met and shot
before he could do more than fire one
shot. Larry Wakelock, the furnace
man who was the first to give the alarm
declares there are no indications that
the burglars had gone beyond the hall
Smell was a real estate dealer and was
counted millionaire. He was "a years
of age, and had no family living with
him. Smell resided at the northwest
corner Boulevard and Ada streets, in
one of the most pleasant residences on
! the West Side.

has taken the case under consideration,
and those able defenders of rich scoun-
drels, ex,Judge Dillon and Burke Coch-
ran, are pleading the statute of limita-
ton to save their clients from trial on
the charge of grand larceny. AS we have
said before it is to be hoped by all hon
est men the two great sharks of Wall
street will be indicted and prosecuted
with all possible energy, even though
the evidence against them may not ap-
pear sufficient to insure their convic-
tion. The very effort to bring to justice
two men who have been supposed to be
almost above the law, would have a
bracing effect upon the moral tone of
the country, and it is quite possible that
the beginning of active proceedings
would draw out evidence and assist
ance which cannot now be discovered.
1t was not believed until Jake Sharp
had been actually convicted, that such
a criminal could be even seriously
threatened with term in the penten-
tiary, and there is no telling what might
happen in case All earnest attempt
should be made to send Gould to join

would be one of the most Impressive

Edgerton Victorious Over Oberly and
Lyman--Sustained by the President.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 5.-The
Civil Service Commission is in some
danger of dissolution. Mr.. EdgertOn
and Mr.. Oberly have been opposed to
each other on official points for many
months and their differences have been
so rank that social relations between
them has been strained, if not wholly
interrupted. 3lsst
Mr.. EdgertOn has been disposed to
give the Democrats a chance, and has
been in favor of rule providing that
department officials should not be re-
quired to give reasons for the dismissal
Of clerks. Oberly and Lyman, however,
have taken the mugwump view, and
some months since the Board adopted
new rules, one of which required rea-
sons for discharges. The rules were in
the Presidents hands for a long time,
They have just got back to the Com
mission with his approval, but with
the mugwump provision inserted by
Oberly and Lyman stricken out.
This is perfectly consistent with the
position the President assumed in his
conflict with the Senate, that he was
obliged to communicate reasons for re
moYals. This is great victory fol
Edgerton, and if Mr.. Oberly stays in
the Commission heSWills lshaVe to gorge
| himself with humblespie.

A BANDITS ROMANCE.
Graphic Account of Bernal, the
Mexican Bandit,
Who Was Recently Slain---An Honest
Man, He Was Convicted for
Crime of Which He was In
nocent---Other News.

NEW YORK, Jan. Especial. IA
Washington special says: The State
Department is in receipt of details of
the pursuit by Mexican troops, and
final killing of the notorious bandit
Eraiclaio Bernal, slayer of Leon Bald
win, for whose death his widow is now
pressing claim for indemnity against
the Mexican government. The story
of the life and death Of this
remarkable robbery is romantic
in the extreme. He was born S8 years
ago in the State of Sinaloa, Mex. Dur
ing his early manhood he bore the repu-
tation of on Industrious, law abiding
citizen. Twelve years ago he was
arrested and convicted of a crime of
which he was afterwards proven inno-
cent. Smarting with shame and humili-
alton he seized desperate chance and
effected his escape from prison. Then
he swore solemn oath that his future
career would amply revenge the wrongs
he had suffered and if he were again
imprisoned it would be for a good cause.
He gathered about him as wild and
fierce gang of bandits as history has
ever recorded and the pages of his
crimes have been read by nearly the
whole civilized world, so cruel and
bloody were the campaigns of the ban
dts conducted.

THE LEarsLATURE
Again Resumes Its sittings-Bills Intro
duced,

COLUMBUS, Feb. b.7.-After a cessation
of business since Friday last, both
. branches of the General Assembly re-
sumed labor at 4o'Clock this afternoon.
There was not a full attendance in
either house many members having
failed to reach the city in time to be
present at the opening of the session.
Those present, however, were well sup
piled with petitions and memorials, and
a number of local bills ready for intro
duction. The petitions were on va
riety of subjects, and gave expression to
the views of the constituents of the
member presenting them. Among
these were two by Mr.. Kennedy,
one of which was signed by
B. w. Sabin and eighteen voters
and hirty-eight women of Berea,
asking for the passage of Mr.. Ames
House bill, providing for the teaching
of scientific instructions in the COM
mon schools, The other was from j..
E. Stubbs and 218 voters of Cuyahoga
county, asking for the enactment of a
township local option law. The petit
ton of William Wood and fifteen 9th
ers, presented by Mr. Brown, of Cuya-
hoga, also asked for the passage of the
Ames bill. Many others of similar i'm
port from nearly every section of the
State were presented. The question of
reduction iii railroad fares was not
overlooked, nor was the school book
question. Mr.. Albaugh's bill was re-
commended fort avorable consideration
as was also the proposition to have the
State provide for the publication OF
cheap text books.
The following bills were introduced
in the House:
Mr., Schuler er-Amending section 204i
relatiE8tO the regulation of the price
of gaS by Council so that if the gas
company does not assent to the ordi
nance it shall nevertheless be binding

THE INFAMOUS WHITE CAPS.
Particulars of the Latest Outrage by thiI
Gang of Outlaws.

Gang of Outlaws.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 6.1Special !
The latest outrage perpetrated by the
Infamous white caps" in this State is
of such dastardly nature that proba-
bly things will go hard with the sus-
pected members of that organization
hereafter. In Crawford county lives
Thomas Williams and wife who were a
year ago subjected to much indignity
by the organization. Williams accus
ed Thomas Courtney, Jr., a son of a
prominent physician of this locality, of
being one of the assaulters and sought
his arrest. Courtney, however, got
away, and it is rumored that he went
to Fort Scott, Kansas. At all events a
telegram was received Saturday from
there announcing his arrest and early
return to Crawford county. COurtney's
friends, enraged at the news, went to
Williams house. Being denied
;admittance they broke in the doors.
Williams fired three shots into the
crowd, which infuriated the mob and
they tied Mrs. Williams to a bedstead,
took Williams into the yard, bound
him to a tree and on his refusal to
refute the accusation against Courtney,
the mob stripped and hogged him until
he tainted. Mrs. Williams states that
while she was tied to the bedstead one
of the Williams attempted to misuse
her but was prevented by companion,
Rescuers approached before the brutes
had finished their work, but it is re.
ported that Williams cannot recover
The feeling against the villains is in
tense,

His Ha'r is Not Cut.

COLUMBUS, Feb. 8.1Special Con
Yict Harper has not yet been subjected
to having his head shaved and still
wears his mustache. At first there was
some comment on this point adverse to
the Warden of the Penitentiary, but it
is not known that Charles Doll, Stanley
and other prisoners still wear their hair
and are not shaved. The reason given
for not shaving Harper at first, was
that they expected to take him to Gin
cinnati to testify in the Hopkins case,
and granted him the privilege of re-
tanning his mustache and hair until
after that. However, he did not go,
and still is not shaven, but there are
numerous others treated the same in
this respect.

The only remedy, he said, was in free

the Canadian Pacific Railroad had

Dominion Government, might result in

And His Record Both in War and

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Canton, Ohio
A Carroll county correspondents of your
paper in the issue of the I'd inst, refers
to General Eckley, and the mean and
vicious part he took at the first wool
growers meeting in Carrollton. The
Generals war record was not overlook
ed, and reference was made to his alb
sence for six weeks from his regiment
pending the battle of Pittsburg Land
ing, the General (?) being at his home
in Carrollton. .q.
In his statement another correspond
ent in Fridays DAILY DEMOCRAT OBJ
jects, stating that the S0th regiment, of
which Eckley was Colonel, was not in
the battle mentioned, and hence he
says Gen. Eckley did not "run." Your
second correspondent evidently misun-
derstood the statement of the first Wri-
ter.
Now, if your correspondent had writ
ten the "Siege of Corinth" instead of
the battle of "Pittsburg Landing"
he would have stated truth to which
there can be no reply. Gen. Eckley did
dDScuJ ulIilool iIUul Ills COuuldllu lOI
six weeks, and was at his home in Car
rollton during the siege of Corinth.
That his sickness was feigned was the
belief in Carrollton among young and
old; at any rate he recovered entirely
just after the danger at the front was
over, and he went to his command
again. He was elected to Congress a
few months later, and resigned his
command at once, although his distin-
guished services as Congressman did
not commence for fourteen months.
He, then, is one of the "old war
horses" Of the G. o. p. who now go
around spouting about "rebels, shout
ing for high tariff, running wool tariff
meetings, boasting of his record, sc.
His record in brief is that of skulker
in war, maligner in peace, and bro
ker of a railroad, bank and private
