HIS CAREER IN DAKOTA
In December 1887, a man calling himself
Arthur B. Ward turned up in Grand Forks,
D. T., with young wife. He showed letters
ostensibly from United States senator's and
representatives, and was known as general"
in a few weeks. During the presidential
campaign he turned his energies to stump
speaking, and SO successfully fooled the poll
ticians that he was sent on speech making
tour through Indiana by one of the big politi-
cal parties In the meantime he had opened
a law office, and as he was fluent speaker
and of agreeable presence, he soon had a
large practice.
He lived like prince and found time to
borrow large sums of money from his many
friends All at once The Herald came out
with the startling announcement that Wards
previous life had not been wholly blameless,
and limited that at one time he had been
known as Wadsworth. The effect was cleo
tricaL Gen. A B. Ward vanished, leaving
his young wife nee Miss Perry, of Provi-
dence) in delicate condition, and totally I'M
provided for, and also leaving hosts of
mourning creditors His disappearance was
the biggest sensation that the territory had
had in years He went from Grand Forks to
Winnipeg, and from Winnipeg to Montreal,
thence to New York.
For some years there has lived in the latter
city a couple named Plunkett. They were
Christian scientists of the most scientific sort,
Mr. Plunkett being the editor Of a magazine
devoted to his creed. a man calling himself
A. Bently Worthinston, but who was in real
ity none other than the hero Of this truthful
tale, turned up at the habitation of the Plum
ketts and became enthusiastic in the study of
Christian science Before long it was evident
that Mr.. Worthington had usurped the throne
formerly occupied by Mr. Plunkett in the af
fections of the latter's wife. Soon it was an
nounced that, according to the particularly
free and easy notions of the Christian scien-
fists, Mr.. and Mrs. Plunkett had decided to
separate, and not long afterward, without
taking the trouble to have the separation
from her former husband legalized.
Mrs. Plunkett stood up with Mr.. Worth
rngton before few friends and announced
that they were originally created for the es-
pecial purpose of living together, and that
they proposed to do So whether or no. This
particular brand of free love was just a
shade too much for Mr.. Plunkett's faith, so
he sued for an absolute divorce
In few weeks the New York papers began
to gradually expose Worthiugton's record;
and he made full confession, with many
ruffies and frills, in which he said that he had
been saved by Christian Science and went on
in the same strain at great length, remarking
incidentally that he should not flee from pun
ishment In the meantime he fed He is
said to have married eight separate women
in his villainous career.

days, when the city was rot so large and
thriving as it is now. Here is cut OF
this curious device, with the following de-
scription: A sheaf of wheat stood upright,
with ribbon for band, and on the band
was inscribed, mo. l hard. In hoe signo
vinces," Above the sheaf was a silver dollar
resting on its edge, the reference being to the
uniform price of 81 bushel for wheat in
those days. Upon the dollar was presented
an outline of the lake. Above the dollar
stood Beelzebub with tail revealed, holding
scales in one hand and pointing with the
other to the exact location of the city on the
lake The motto, ''Give the devil his due"
completed this odd device. This was printed
upon the bills of the bank, and soon after the
issue was out there came letter from n ma
tional bank in Philadelphia, inclosing ten
new crisp national bank notes, and asking to
have them exchanged for bills of the Bank of
Devils Lake. This artistic tribute, however,
to his Satanic majesty has long since gone
out of fashion.

said, become licensed Methodist preacher
IN New Jersey. Little confidence was placed
in his assertions, however.
1t is said that his first business venture was
made as an insurance agent in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania. Then he located in Al
bany, n. Y, where he married a telegraph
operator. His career there was pyrotechnic
and brief. He was arrested and convicted
OF false dealing, and sentenced to three years
m the penitentiary. After serving one year
he was released, and Albany and his Albany
wife knew him no more.
! In 1878 man known as Eugene Bannerton
married a well known actress in Toronto,
Canada 1t is said that Bannerton and
Crawford were the same man, and that he
had not gone through the formality of get
ting divorce from his Albany wife before
he welded the actress. The happy couple
were members of the same theatrical COM
IIany until the close of the season, when they
settled in New Lisbon, Wis. There tho hus-
band became the prominent lawyer Of the
town and everybody liked him. There, too,
q little daughter named Kate came into the
world and the Bannertons were as happy as
possible until the lord and master had Dor
rowed all the money that he could, had
forged notes, ETC., at wholesale and-disap-
peaTed His wife was deserted and destitute
but like the brave little woman that she is,
she went on the stage again and stayed there
until she had actually earned money to pay
all her dishonest husbands debts. Then she
sued for and obtained an absolute divorce.

showed a receipt. Dana then gave him IS, 900

the last that was heard from him for some
time. 1t is needless to say that the receipts
and the contract for sale were forged and
that Crawford had gobbled the cash.

There are great many things which go to
show that A. Bently Worthington is not an
ordinary man. For instance, most people
that is, ordinary people, are satisfied with
one set of names-generally three, sometimes
fonr. But Mr.. Worthington has not con-
tented himself with meager trio of cogno-
mems, nor yet with quartet. Oh, mol If
the newspaper reports come anywhere near
the truth, his whole collection OF names he
has used different sections of it in different
sections of the country is something like
this; Samuel Oakley Crawford, Eugene Bou-
vier, Samuel Walton, Eugene Bonner, Nj

Last Rites Of Earth Over the ex-Confeder-

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.-Although
the weather on Tuesday was unusually
hot the city hall was crowded all day
with people of every degree, all anxious
to pay respect to the dead statesman.
Floral offerings were brought by the
wagon load, and all committees were
busily engaged in preparing for the
morrow's funeral. At 10 o'clock the Or
phans from the various Catholic asylums
formed in solid columns of two, and COM
manded by sweet-faced sisters, marched
solemnly up the main entrance of the
hall, and were conducted into the Oh am
Der of death by Sergeant-at-Arms Hur-
ley, who has been constantly on duty
since the remains were brought to the
hall. Later in the day other societies
visited the hall in body to view the
remains.
THE FUNERAL

at II a. m. the representatives of the
clergy of all denominations met in
one of the committee rooms. The Epis-
copal clergy, preceded by the choir of
st. PauPs Episcopal church. consisting
of thirty men and boys robed in cassock
and surplice entered the mortuary
chamber. Two prelates of the Episcopal
church were present clad in full vest

lions were in attendance, and as far as
possible took part in the ceremonies. The
choir ranged themselves at the head of
the casket, the Rev. James Bakeville,
rector of Trinity chapel, commenced the
office OF the burial Of the dead as pro-
vided in the book of common prayer.
Rev. j. E. Martin having read the psalm

lesson for the occasion taken from st.

audience led by Rector E. Thompson, of
