A STORY ABOUT ASA MATTHEWS.
His Bluff Manner Covers a Kindly Heart
An Illustration.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 10-Asa Mat
thews Illinois friends would hardly know
him if they were TO drop suddenly into the
office of the first comptroller in the big treas
ury building. Attired in a seersucker suit,
with pair of old slippers on his feet, Ace"
bends from early morning till late at night
over his desk. Half the clerks are afraid of
him, and 1t is with fear and trembling that
the most timid of them approach his pres
snce. That is because he has such bluff
exterior, and because he is such a busy man
that he has no time to waste.
Made the Young Girl Happy.
Yesterday morning young girl came up
TO his desk so frightened she could hardly
make known her wants, but it turned out
that her mother had been taken seriously i'll
at EImira, N. V, and the girl wanted to go
home. Already she had used her ''leaven
time of thirty days, and she tearfully con-
fessed she did not know how she was going
to get away under the rules The comp
troller was rs gentle with her as mother
with a new born babe, and soon sent the
pretty young thing on her way with prom
ise that if she didn't stay away too long per-
haps some way could be found to take the
lost time out of her next "leave"

Conviction of the COuIee CrOche
Regulators.

OPELoUsAs, La, Dec. 5.-At about
o'clock this evening the Jury in the
case of the Coulee Croche regulator,
Jerome Meche, returned verdict OF
guilty under section 854 of the Re
vised Statutes. About an hour later
the jury in the case against the other
regulators, Lastie Smith and Syphreim
MeChe, returned a verdict of guilty
under section 85l. This latter Jury
had been locked up for seven days,
the difference between them being
only as TO the grade of punishment.
All of these verdicts necessarily in
volve punishment at hard labor in the
penitentiary.
1t was proven during these trials by
the testimony of the captain of the
regulators that this CouIee Croche
crowd, or at least five of them, with
their captain, belonged to the Lafav-
ette regulators, that General DecIouet
was the head of this organization, and
that they held themselves subject to
the orders Of DecIouet and hls asso-
ciates in Lafayette.
Our people are naturally proud of
these verdiCts, and especially since
the results were brought about by the
combined efforts of our local officials
with the assistance of the citizens,
and without the Intervention of the
attorney-general and of the militia.
