THE LOVE OF CALIBAN.

The room Of the Lady Lucrece was full Of
cool shadows, though it was midsummer and
the purple bortlered linens at the windows
swayed in the hot wind. There were purple
bordered linens, too, on the couch where the
Lady Lucrece lay-one cannot do much at
noontide in Pisa When it is midsummer. The
heavens seemed to hang down near to the
dangerous earth; . palpitant white heat
shimmered on the streets; the lazaroni slept;
at the bath houses the attendants went about
in shifts Of linen; the shops and the stores
were silent; it was too hot even to hate. II

the maid, drowsily; and she wiped her fore
head upon her sleeve.
-Ah," sighed the Lady Lucrece, -bring in
Massimiliani." A moment later a queer,
batting step was heard on the tiled floor in
the hall outside. The curtains at the door
were the green which the sea wears in the
morning. They parted, and Massimiliani
stood between them. Had nature had her
way he would have been tall, but some mys-
FERROUS force had bent him almost double,
and his bumped shoulders and heavy head
hung always toward the earth. He was not
merely grotesque, he was hideous There are

Led Astray by Gamblers.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 3l.-A dispatch
from Indianapolis says: William E.
Denny, defaulting assistant postmas-
ter at Bonneville, this state, has made
confession regarding the circumstance
es of his shortage. He alleges that
he lost the whole amount, $500, in
card-playing at Evansville, and gave
the names of sixty men with whom
he had played. The attorney to whom
the confession was made, refuses to
give the names for publication. The
list is known to contain those of many
men of business standing in Evans
vile, who have never been suspected
of frequenting gambling houses.

CALLED To ACCOUNT By MRS. STEW
ARTS RELATIVES.

Alexander Turney Stewart died in
1875, when his transactions were esti-
mated to exceed sixty-five million
dollars per annum. Among the be-
quests was the sum of one million to
ex-Judge Henry Hilton, his cOnfiden-
tial law adviser, who, with that sum,
bought from the widow her interest in
the dry goods business of A. Il. Stew
art & Co. He went out of business in
1882, drawing out five millions and a
half. Mrs. Stewart died October 20,
1856. She had been left 1.-The rich
est widow in the world" The
| whole management of her business
she entrusted to Henry Hilton, to
whom she left half her estate after
| the payment of million and half
to her relatives. In October, 1887, pro-
ceedings were begun against Henry
Hilton, by the entire force of the de-
ceased lady's relatives, with the eX-
ception of one, Charles J. Clinch, who,
under the provisions of her will, was
to share the estate with Hilton after
the deductions of requests. Much
| testimony has been taken in the case,
of her business relations with Mr..
Hilton, the books showing q balance
against her of S463, 1901, besides
seven hundred thousand dollars as
cribed to bond and mortgage sources.
An adjournment of the case was
taken Oh May q, and the closing ar
guments will be heard in the fall, if
recent rumors that the case has been
compromised do not prove to be true.
Mr.. Hilton is said to be worth twenty
million dollars.
Hilton Is now an old man, but hale
and hearty and apparently in the full
enjoyment of life. His father was a
car man in New York. He was a
youth when he began to read law in
an office in the Empire City, and was
barely of age when he was made man
aging clerk for firm which had A.
II. Stewart for client. Thus his ac-
quain lance with the great dry goods
merchant began. 1t was not long be-
fore he was private counsel to Mr..
Stewart. He married sister of the
President of the Bank of New York.
Later he became partner in a law
firm. About 1857 he was made Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas. His
term lasted until 1868. He was a
Park Commissioner under the motor
Gus Tweed and was something of a
politician. In 1868 he worked hard
for the election of General Grant to
the Presidency. The firm with which
he was connected in the law business
dissolved in 1874. After that time his
office was at the Stewart store.

Muldoney Murder.


The shooting of j. w. Muldoney at
Laredo last Thursday by Peter Ham
mond will very probably end in a
hanging. The examination of Ham,
mond is now in progress and the
court is evidently in earnest in push
ing the investigation far enough to
secure the necessary witnesses and
hold them for the trial. The evidence
tends to show that Hammond shot
Muldoney in cold blood for warning
Hammond's employer against him.
AS a consequence of this information
O'Brien discharged Hammond and
hired Muldoney who was not retained
by O'Brien on account of his drink
ing habits. Muldoney is charged
with having made improper remarks
concerning Hammond's sisters. The
killing was without any words. The
men met pleasantly and had walked
some distance together when Ham
mond pulled his gun and commenced
shooting and did not stop until the
chambers of his revolver were emptied.
Muldoney's mother has telegraphed
her coming to look after the body of
her murdered son.

From Kennedy.

I'D. Newberry, of Kennedy juno
ton, is in the city. He says that cot
ton is coming into market rapidly and
is of first class character. The yield
for that whole section will average
half a bale per acre. The gin now
building at Kennedy will be ready
for cotton in about ten days and some
good live cotton buyer can find bust
ness if he Will set up his stakes there.
Mr.. Newberry says that the
