o. M. Mitchell, the astronomer. who, a,
general IN the army, made n famou:
record. Young Pendleton made a grand
tour OF Europe, travelling on foot through
Germany, Italy, ana Greece. He studied
at Heidelberg and Paris. Returning
home he studied law and became a part.
ner of George E. Pugh, afterward United
States senator.
Defeated for Congress in 1854, Pendle-
ton was returned in 1856, and was elected
for four successive terms In the national
Democratic convention of 1861, at Chicago
when Gen. George B. Mcclellan was nom-
mated for Presidency, Mr.. Pendleton re-
ceived the second place the ticket Be-
fore the national Democratic convention
of 1868, which assembled at New York, he
was prominent candidate for the Presi-
dency. but after a protracted ballot the
two-thirds rule prevailing, his name was
withdrawn and that of Horatio Seymour
substituted. In 1869 Pendeton was the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Ohio, BIT was defeated by Gen. r. T.
Hayes by about 4, 900 majority. In 1873
Mr.. Pendleton was elected United States
Senator to sue eed the Hon. Stanley
senatorial term Of six years. he was an
pointed in 1885 as minister to Perlin,
which position he held until succeeded by
William w. Phelps last spring.
Perhaps Mr.. Pendleton's greatest
accomplishment as statesman was the
prominent part he took in the advocacy
of civil service reform. He was chairman
of the Senate committee having the mat
ter in hand. AS such lie introduced, in
the year 1880, the bill that became law in
1SS?
In person Mr.. Pendleton was taller than
the average man. His figure was stout,
his head large, and his neck short He
was always we'll dressed and was the pink
o correct department and gentle Lanly
courtesy. This always characterized him
and won for him, twenty years ago, the
title, Gentleman George"
In 1916 he married Miss Alice Key, Of
Baltimore, whose father, Frances Scott
Key, was shot by Daniel f. Sckles for
alleged intimacy with the latter's wife.
Inheriting great wealth, Mr. Pendleton's
investments were profitable and his luck
commensurate. AS an actor his style was
polished and eleg ant. 1t is said that he
never trusted himself to spoak in public
without the most careful preparation, ex-
tending even to practice before the glass.
He was celebrated as a good entertainer.

SEVEN PERSONS BURNED.
A Child Roasted to Death in Its Mothers
Arms-Others VIII Die.

AfmS-OtnerS VIII
A dispatch from Medical Springs, Mo-,
says: Seven people were terribly
burned, one child fatally, in most pc.
culiar accident last Sunday afternoon
From one of the wells which have been
bored near the spring for the purpose of
reaching better supply OF water, there
is constant flow of natural gas. The
proprietor has piped this gas and uses it
for the purpose of making a display
to attract attention to the spring.
From the we'll proper there extends
vertical pipe and to this
is connected horizontal pipe
for a distance of about twenty feet, where
it is bent at right angles with the arm,
extending about ten feet in the air. From
the pipes flame burns to the height OF
about ten feet. On Sunday afternoons
the place is generally crowded with peo-
pie, who come from the surrounding
country to drink tho water anG have a
merry-making. Sunday afternoon when
the crowd was largest, party of roughs
got into fight and during the melee,
the stand pipe was thrown down,
bringing the perpendicular portion
down with q crash. The gas flame
was thrown directly upon a party Of
women and children, burning several of
them in a terrible manner. Mrs. Henry
Willoughby was standing directly in front
of the jet with her year-old baby in her
arms when the flame struck the child in
the face, literally roasting il. Mrs. Will
loughby was also fearfully burned and Is
not expected to recover. The child died
almost instantly. Two other ladies and
three children were burned about the face,
but none of them fatally.

A MAN who endeavors to teach an
other how to behave may possibly
teach q virtue, but if he fails to act up
to his own teaching the man who would
depend upon such uncertainty would
do better to depend upon his own ideas.

ticket of either party had teller at
every polling place, and most of them
had several. This included the state
officers, as well as the members of the
legislature, and the eXpenSg must
have been enormous. Some one at
every poll handled stickers for each
candidate. An exception, however,
should be made to this as regards the
cranks. The Woman Suffragists and
ProhibItiOniSts were conspicuous by
their absence, and it is more than prob
able that the vote on those questions
would not amount to one-fOurth of the
total. In all 5,164 votes were cast IN
this city, of which the First ward, or
the original city OF Tacoma, contributed
507; the Second ward, known as the
aristocratic ward, 1,T23; the Third. or
the commercial part of the city, LII;
and the Fourth ward,
THE DINNER PAIL WARD,
1l63. The slight difference between the
vote of the Second and Third wards was
the most surprising, as. in former
elections the Third had led the Second
by many votes, while to-day they are
nearly equal. The Fourth ward vote
to-day was nearly three times the vote
Of a year ago. There is one fact
to be noticed in connection with
the vote, and that is the vote In the
First, or tough ward, has increased but
slightly, while that in the wards that
are filled with the better elements OF
society has progressed at an enormous
rate. The cities that were anxious to
have the permanent seat of government
located in the limits were espe-
cially prolific of ward workers and
though at the present time it is abso-
lutely impossible to say what city will
get there, the outlook for the North
Yakima is the brightest. FragmentarY
returns from nearly every district IN
the territory indicate that the RepuD-
lican candidate for governor, E. T. Fer
ry, 1.-The Duke of Tacoma" is elected
by a majority Of about 5000 over Eu-
gene Semple, Democi at. John L.Wilson,
Republican candidate for congress IS
elected by about the same majority over
Mr.. Griffith. Democrat. The strength
shown by Ferry is surprising from the
fact that his record is not quite clear,
and it was generally expected that
he would be cut. The vote
in Seattle, Spokane and Ell
ensburg was lighter than usual
probably on account of the recent fires
which swept those cities. The Repub-
licans will have a majority of ten or
twelve in she legislature on joint ballot,
insuring the election of two Republican
United States senators, one OF whom
will probably be Ferry, the governor
elect, who aspires to still greater polit-
ical heights.

HURRAH FOR ROSE.
He Is Running Far Ahead of His
Ticket.

Speial to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Oct. There
was heauy vote in the city and county.
and many scratched tickets. 1t is i'm
possible to get early returns. The city
vote is not all counted at midnight.
The precincts heard from go two to one
against prohibition and only $50 votes
against the constitution, which is some
what remarkable when it is considered
that at first the opposition to the cOnsti-
tutional convention locating public in-
stitutiOns arose here, and indicates
complete change in public sentiment.
Miller and HanSbrOugh run ahead OF
their ticket slightly. On the legis--
lative ticket, Fuller, Independ-
ent, is now 60 votes ahead
of Frye, straight Republican. Goodrich,
Democrat, forced to remain in the field
against his will, threw his strength to
Fuller and received only one vote cut
of ten in the city. Democrats are
loudly denouncing his treachery. In
dications point to the election of Fuller,
Independent. to the senate, Milsted,
Republican, and Lutz, Democrat for
the house. Branch. Republican, is
elected clerk of court. Judge Rose,
Democrat. runs ahead of the ticket
everywhere. His majority over hewitt,
Republican, in Valley City is 1872.
Meagre reports from other counties in
this judicial district indicate close
contest Indications are that the Re
publican state ticket will receive
majority in the county.

WINONA, Oct 1.-BishOp Cotter has
been the recipient all day of congratula-
tiOns from his fellow citizens, while tel
E egrams have poured in from all
over the state. P. HI. Kelly. of st. Paul,
stelegraphed, sending congratulations.
3 Wabasha county sent general message
sef congratulation. Mother Seraphine, of
ST. Paul, sent congratulations for the
Sisters of ST. Joseph, and scores of the
clergy and others also expressed their
qualification. This evening the new
bishop was given little surprise
party IL the way of grand reception
lby the citizens. Hundreds of the lead
ing citizens, of all classes and creeds,
met quietly at st. Thomas hall at p.
M. and proceeded to congratulate the
bishop. The demonstration was mag
nificent, expressing the general feeling
of all classes of citizens, and
was entirely unexpected by Bishop
Cotter, he having been kept in complete
ignorance of the preparations. From
the hall the party moved in silent
procession to the priests house, headed
by the band, with silent instruments,
and earrirge containing Judge Wilson,
Judge Start, Judge Allen and Charles
Horton. The affair had been kept an ut
ter secret from the bishop, and when he
was called out he was completely sur
sprised. After congratulations had been
personally extended, Judge Wilson
stepped forward and delivered short
.. address, to which Bishop Cotter feel
singly responded. Hon. Thomas Sjmp-
son also spoke briefly. Father Cotter
was then called outside, where an i'm
mense crowd had gathered, and ad-
dressed them briefly. Father Stanley,
of st. Paul, was present.

VOTED FOR SIOUX FALLS.
Minnehaha County Solid for Its
County Seat.

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. Election
day for the great state of South Dakota
was typical of her grand future. 1t was
bright, brilliant and breezy from the
time the polls opened in this city to the
time of their close. There was on the
streets one of the largest and busiest
crowds ever seen here on election day.
At the various polls were delegations Of,
women from the w. C. t. u. who
spent the day laboring for prohibition.
School children paraded the streets in
the interest of prohibition, bearing
banners appealing to the voters to
stand by the home and the lit
tie one. The prohibition question
however, was largely lost sight of in
the capital question. Interest in this
issue was intense, but despite the high
pressure everywhere existing, not a
disturbance, so far as known, took
place. The total vote of the city was.
2,173, a gain of 500 over a year ago, or.
an increase of AZ per cent. Sioux Falls
has increased over 1900 In her pOpula-
ton this year. The vote cast was
AN HONEST ONE.
The polls were watched closely all day,
and. so far as it is possible to know, not
an illegal vote was thrown. At mid
night the city returns had not been
made, but Sioux Falls will get 2,1O1
votes here for the capital. Rowena
gives Sioux Falls 2S2, to 26 for Pierre
and for Mitchell. Dell Rapids gives
Sioux Falls 14S out of 2S3 votes, and
prohibition a majority of 169 1t
is intimated that this county has
cast 5000 votes. of which 4,700 will favor
Sioux Falls for the capital. Reports
from the county indicate large Sioux
Falls vote. McCook county will give.
Sioux Falls majority, although a small
one. Reports from the Black Hills are
eagerly awaited. 1t being conceded here,
that the Hills vote will settle the cap
ital contest. The latest reports received
here up to midnight from scattered pre-
cincts in twenty-four counties place
Sioux Falls slightly in the lead. Pro-
hibition has probably carried in the.
county by slight majority. The Re-
publican ticket is carried by a greatly
reduced majority. high license Repub-
licans having cut Mellette right and
left. Many Democrats go SO far as to
claim the county, but this claim is. not
supported by the face of the returns.

ALL ENGLAND AGOG.
A Magazine Which Scores Italy
for Joining the Triple Alliance.

LONDON, Oct. IA great deal of in
terest and comment have been excited
by the publication in the Contemporary
Review of long article, the authorship
of which is ascribed to Mr.. Glad
stone, though 10 very convincing
reasons are given for suppOSing that it
was written by the ex-premier aside
from the doubtful one that the author
expresses opinions which it is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Gladstone entertains
upon the subject of the article. The
writer strikes out boldly in powerful
condemnation of ltaly's course in join
ing the triple alliance, which places
her in position she has no
right to occupy. Italy, he de-
clares, owes her independence. which
means everything of value she pos
sesses. to France. and it would be the
graveSt scandal in the history of Italy
if she should become involved in fight
against France. The government of
King Humbert was not menaced, and
there existed no state of affairs upon
which it could base an excuse for
entering into a warlike combination
whose aims were palpably directed
toward an armed conflict con-
templating the conquest and degrada-
ton of France. Moreover, Italy has
nothing to gain by such an alliance or
the victories it might achieve in the
warfare its instigators are seeking, and
may ere long rue the day she permitted
herself to be used as cats paw
on the strength of promises that
will never be fulfilled. In con-
clusion the article demands to know
whether or not England is bound by
any agreement to aid in the objects of
this alliance or give countenance to its
acts If she has been committed. the
people of the British empire are entitled
to know by whom, ard with what pros
poets of advantage to the country. The
article is certain to bring out a semi
official denial or avowal of England's
participation in the triple compact, and
some interesting revelations are among

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
The Prodigal Son of Chicago
Millionaire Sent to an ASYLUM.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Benjamin e. Jones,
only son of the millionaire street rail-
way magnate, j. Russell Jones, has
been adjudged insane, and committed to
the state asylum, at Kankakee. Diss-
patton was the cause of the young
mans mental wreck. About half a
dozen years of champagne. absinthe
and their accOmpanimentS effected the
result. Meantime he lost nearly quar-
ter of million dollars on the board of
trade. AS an expedient to halt his ex-
cesses marriage to worthy woman was
tried, but proved of no perma-
nent avail. Recently young Jones
developed mania for eXtravagant pur-
chaseS, spending in six weeks, during
the absence of his father, S25. 900 for
personal apparel and similar objects of
outlay. One of his orders was for IS, ,0OU
worth of fireworks representing scenes
from Little Lord Fauntleroy." AS it
to make matters worse, suicidal tenden-
cies were fast becoming manifest in the
millionaire's son. Thursday last he was
taken privately before Judge Prender-
CAST, and on the testimony of Judge
Gresham and other prominent people,
was adjudged lunatic. The wealthy
father bore up until the proceeding
ended, and then had to be borne from
the judicial chamber in Mysteries.
Everything relating to the affair was
kept quiet until to-day when news got
out of the young prodigaPS presence in
the Kankakee asylum.

HAVE A DEMOCRATIC TlNGE.
The Southeastern Counties Not
Intensely Republican.

Special 10 the GLOBE.
YANKToN, Dak., Oct.1-Returns from
to-day's election are coming in slowly
and show some wonderful results. Off
cial figures cannot be obtained. In
Yankton county the Republican state
ticket was badly scratched by the anti
prohibitionists. and a majority of 700
was cast against prohibition. Pierre
has majority of 400 in this county.
Bon Homme and Hutchinson counties
also give good majorities for Pierre.
These counties also give large MAORI
ties against prohibition. The Republi-
can legislative ticket was also elected.
Eight hundred and forty-nine votes
were cast in this city, but, owing to the
number of different tickets. the count
cannot be completed before morning.
Parties just arrived from Hutchinson
county claim that Mcclure will have a
small majority in that county. The
usual Republican majority In this coun-
ty is 1,2OO.
