SECRETARY BAYARD's UNCLE
An Old Hermit Physician in Texas
Claims that Relationship.
From the Nelc York World


SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. AT Boerne,
thirty miles northwest of this city, lives
Dr. j. j. Bayard He was born in 1900, and
is an uncle to the present Secretary of
State. He lives in little hut built by him
self, consisting of a single room. On the
west side is Ii tile round hole about foot
in diameter covered with glass. Through
this aperture the hermit can look out upon
his grave, over which he keeps a constant
watch.
This tomb is dug into the solid limestone.
1t cost him four years toll and is ten feet
| deep. The descent into the tomb, curiously
enough, is made-not designedly, however
| by thirteen steps. In this stone sepulchre
bangs an iron pot in which the doctor burns
sulphur, and through the tomb he often
scatters disinfectantS. Upon a bench, the
size of coffin, now placed where his re-
mains are ultimately to repose, Mr.. Bayard
almost daily lies down to mediate. He
raises on an acre of land all he needs in the
way of fruits and vegetable, and his prac-
tice, with what people supply him, furnishes
his meat, milk and clothing.
In early life DR.. Baysrd was well off, even
ricn, buta great flood came on the coast
where he lived more than fifty years ago,
and swept away his possessions. He moved
| to Austin and married. Six months after
| marriage his beautiful but uneducated
wife ran away with Methodist minister.
His heart was broken and he became mis-
anthropic. So long as he retained physical
| strength the doctor kept well supplied with
money. Now, at SO, he is necessarily in a
great measure dependent upon charity.
He says that some years ago, Secretary
| Bayard, then senator, offered him the hos =
pltality of his home. But" said he, 81
can live and | can die alone" He has had
great reputation for his ability in his pro-
fesson, and is now regarded by many as
very reliable but his great age and feeble
ness, and the distance of his hut from the
village. about one mile. all conspire to limit
his practice to the very aged, who have
grown gray and feeble with HIM, and the
poor folk who have little to pay. His eye
sight is good for one of his years, but he
does not tax them much by reading. He is
Catholic in religion and democrat in
politics. He is, or was in his prime, about
5 feet 9 inches in hight, and looks now as
though he were good for century of life.

Interesting Women.
Troy Times, Ncg York Letter

Passing the sub-treasury, recently,
young women whose appearance was so
peculiar that it Immediately arrested my
attention IL the reader should ask me
what that popularity was l could hardly
explain it. Perhaps it might be termed a
nonchalance or free manner that indicated
disregard for observation. They had cool
audacity which, though not brazen, was
bold enough to face any opposition, and
though / could see at a glance that they
were not stage-players, yet it was evident
that they were in public life, and could be
at home even before a crowd. In
few moments | saw them stem
up TO the cashiers window, where each
presented check and drew the money, and
then learned that they were the custom
house ispectresses. who were collecting
their months paw. No wonder they had
such nonchalant, resolute faces These are
the women who coolly order passenger
into a private room and strip her suffi-
GENTLY TO reveal fraud. These are tine
women who find laces packed in bustles
and diamonds concealed in tresses of hair,
and need hardly say that they are the
terror of sruugglers. In a recent case they
found a passenger wearing petticoat that
weighed twenty-five pounds, being made
double so as to carry struggled goods.
These inspectresses are among the most
useful public servants, and they have
almost broken up the once extensive system
OF women's smuggling which men could
not do. for Shakespeare says, Ito make
sweet lady sad is a sour ofYeuse"

END OF A WASTED LIFE.

A Dissipated Carpenter of Atlanta
Takes Suicidal Dose OF Morphine.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 9.-Renus Jones, a
white man aged about 35 years, who for
some years has been leading dissipated
life, committed suicide this afternoon by
taking fourteen grains of morphine. The
deceased was a carpenter by trade, and was
brother-in-law of Water Commissioner
Zach Smith. This morning he informed
his sister that he was going to kill himself
She paid no attention to him and he left
the house. About 2 O'Clock this afternoon
he purchased morphine. and going to the
house of his sister, Mrs. Smith, he took the
poison. Two hours after swallowing it
the discovery was made that he had taken
the deadly drug. A physician was called
and an effort was made TO save his life
This proved failure and he died tonight
about o'cloch. This was his second at
tempt to end his life His first occurred
about two weeks ago when he took
morphine. The timely arrival Of physicians
saved him for the second attempt, in which
he was more successful.

From the Ne,o York World,

Representative Joseph Wheeler, of Ala.
bama, who will always be famous for his
career as Il dsshing cavalry officer Of the

"'Pshaw! He could not live. The
sooner dead the better for him as well as
for us-Heyv continued he, looking up and
observing me standing a few PAGES distant,
and listening to their discourse; what's
wanted? Anybody dead@"
Probably tho most horrible description in
the whole book is that of the interior of the
fever hospital, which had then been estab-
lished on Bush Hill and was crowded with
patients, most of whom were dying with
the disease Arthur Meryn's' friend had
Just escaped from the institution and thus
recounted its terrors:
while the upper rooms of the building
were filled with the sick and dying the
lower apartments were the scene of car
ousals and mirth. The wretches who were
hired, at enormous wages, to tend the sick
and C lnvey away the dead, neglected their
duty and consumed the cordials, which are
provided for the patients, in debauchery
and riot. A female visage, bloated with
mali nifty and drunkenness, occasionly
looked in. Dying eyes were cast upon her,
invoking the boon, perhaps, of a drop of
Geld water or her assistance in changing a
posture which compelled him to behold the
CHASTITY writings or beautiful smile Of his
neighbor.
"The visitant had left the banquet for a
moment, only to see who was dead. If she
entered the room, blinking eyes and Keeling
steps showed her to be totally unqualified
for ministering the aid that was needed.
Presently she disappeared, and the others
assembled the staircase. A coffin was de-
posted at the door, and the wretch. whose
heart still quivered, was seized by rude
hands and dragged along the floor into the
passage"
These are few descriptions of the ter
rors of the yellow fever in 1898. They are
enough to show the Generalization that ex-
listed here in our own homes less than a CEN
fury ago. But happily such state of af
fairs would be impossible at present. The
scenes described by Arthur Meryn" are
gone, never to return, and no epidemic,
however deadly, could bring them back.

HISC0CK ON THE TARIFF.
He STICKS TO THE LINE MARKED
OUT BY BIS PARTY.

The Free Trade Scare-Crow Painted
Out-No Question as to the Amount
of the Reduction, But Only to the
Manner of Making 1t.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-The Senate, at
2:2O O'Clock to-day, resumed consideration
of the tariff bill, and was addressed by Mr..
Hiscock, member of the finance committee.
The issue. he said, was fairly drawn be-
tween the two political parties.
The que ytion was free trade or
,protection to American labor Neither
subterfuge nor new confessions of faith
would conceal or obscure the real question
The democratic orators were attempting in
tire manufacturing districts to shift their
ground and to conceal the purpose of their
party. But the official utterances of the
President and the reports of the Secretary
of the Treasury, emphasized by the Mills
bill (which had been Endorsed by the
national democratic convention, and which
had passed the House by strict party
vote), left no doubt whatever as to the true
position of the Democratic party on that
great economic question.
THE REAL QUESTION
There was no question as to the amount
of the reduction of taxation. The que3uIon
was as to the manner of it. He examined
some of the detail of the Mills bill in order
to prove that in the proposed reductions
there were determinations i'll favor OF the
industries of the confederate states against
the industries of the northern states.
Mr. Hawley sugge ted as an explanation
of that fact that of the democratic MEM
hers of the House ways and means COM
mittee. which made UP the Mills bill, six
were from the confederate states and two
from northern states.
At the close of Mr.. Hiscock's remarks
Mr.. Bate obtained the floor, and the tariff
bill went over till tomorrow.
NO BILL TO BE PASSED
TAD republican senators threw off part of
their pretenses to-day and announced that
they did not expect TO pass their tariff bill.
They have stated through Mr.. Allison
again and again with the utmost emphasis,
that they certainly would pass tariff bill at
this session. They knew very well that
they would not, for they knew very we'll
that they could not. Senators Ingalls, and
Plumb gave them notice long ago that they
would not vote for their tariff bill, yet they
kept up the pretense Of passing the
bill until to-day, when they soemonly
concluded that it was becoming SO trans
parent that they would have to abandoD..it
They also announced that they would like
to adjourn, but did not care to propose it,
This Is the first fruit Of the democratic
policy of keeping the republican senators
here long enough to expose their purposes.
