matadores or picadores were especially
anxious to get within the animals reach.
They approached him In a body, each
ready TO help the other.
At this luncture, however. a disturb
ancc on one side Of the Arena attracted
the attention Of the audience. The bull
was standing with his back TO Alfonso
but the boy did not heed this. lie did
not understand the rules and rcgula-
tons Of the fight. and without thinking
he jumped over the railing and drop ped
lightly into the arena. He rushed to-
ward the savage bull. shouting aloud:
Poor Bella. good Bella. 1t Is Al
fonso; don't you know me, Bella?"
The bull turned his head. pricked w
his ears, and then wheeled around and
trotted up TO the boy.
There was a ~breathless silence In the
vast a~mphitheater. and every one ex-

into the air and killed. The sigh
made many shudder. and a few OF the
ladies' screamed. But Alfonso was not
afraid; he recognized in the savage bull

Bella was no less glad to see the boy
than alfonso was 70 see his pet. In
stead OF tossing the boy up in the air
the big animal approached his side. and
licked the boys hands affectionately
Alfonso threw his arms around thu
thick neck as OF old. and Rugged Bella

For several minutes this strange
scene held tho audience spell bound.
Then a shout rang out that startled the
boy and bull. Such an act OF heroism

to realize his position. For q moment
he had imagined himself back in his

The managers OF the fight were in.

withdraw. Then il was decided that,
inasmuch as Alfonso had conquered the
bull. he was entitled TO the animal.
The audience ~applaudcd this decision.
and little Alfonso was requested TO lead
his prize away.
This he did, Bella following meekly
behind him. and showing no more

kicked vigorously at this, and finally
there was q con fercnco with tho com

the next day 1t was announced that the
protection had been raised to 20 cents

himself as satisfied-4C cents was pro-

But the trust was not satisfied, for .

So pressure was brought to bear upon
the Senate Finance Committee, which
had in the meantime taken up the Tariff

into a great bank of beautiful interwov-
en- evergreens and choice flowers. Long
and graceful festoons of evergreen de-
cended from each side to the centre of
the large audience room, and directly
over the spot where the everlasting
troth of the young couple was plighted,
was suspended 'Good Luck" horse

from the floral kingdom.
The bridal party entered the church
to the strains of a happy wedding march
from the great organ at which Prof
Baumann presided.
The groom's best man was Mr.. w. A.
Linehan and the maid of honor was
Miss Minnie Seawell.
The attendants were Mr.. Jno. W

Walter NJ. Hester, drummer for J.
Faust & Sons iof Baltimore, had fin
ished his fall "TRIP and was returning
home having reee5ved an increase in
salary for another year. Popular, jo-
vial and promising, everything seemed
bright before him and his Rther Sited
at the depot to welcome 6im home.
Between trains at Greensboro he was
treated to drinks, and, becoming rest
less, made threats of suicide, but they
were not noticed. He boarded the mid
night train for Winston, and just five
miles from here, while all We're asleep in
the car, he decided to end his life
It is said that he went through the
train to the express car and handing his
grip to the agent said: take this home
for me-" Immediately he went back to
his seat in the hrst-class car, lifted
his feet above the back of the seat
in front Of him, placed a pistol at his
right temple and fired, the ball passing
through and almost out of the other side
of his head. He did not move muscle,
but died without struggle. The pas
sengers awaking took charge Of him, and
instead Of meeting him, Walter Hes er,
his brother, met his corpse. He had
come home to die.
Your correspondent was informed by
Coroner Fogle that exactly twenty years
ago, five miles from here, in the same
direction, Hester's father committed sui
eide and he held the inquest. His grand
father and aunt also took their own lives.
The family is well known throughout the
State and young Hester was one of the
most popular and promising drummers
on the road. His funeral this afternoon
was largely attended.
