Dying of Want.

Dying of Want.
CHICAGO, January 9th.-Charles C. Case,
aged 20 years, alone in the world and worth
from $50,0 ,0G0 to $500 000, is said to be dying
in want and poverty on his large farm near
Glenw wood
A. Cannon came TO the city from Glen
wood yesterday to report the case to the
Humane Society. he said that since April
last he had virtually been nursing and car
ing for the wretched old man. According
TO Mr.. Gammon's story the old mans con-
dition is pitiable one. Rich in this worlds
goods he is wasting away, surrounded by
misery and squalor. Abundantly able to
procure all the luxuries and comforts
money can buy, he is permitting himself to
die without medicine, without medical at
tention and with no comforts to ease his
pain or mitigate his misery.
He has for many months been enduring
the agonies of painful and destroying dis
ease, refusing to permit his only attendant,
Mr.. Cannon, TO call in a physician or to
permit anyone to come near his miserable
hovel. lest tfat aid should cost something.
"He is certainly out of his mind" said
Mr. Cannon. II ought to have seen this
before. Why, he has hundreds of tons of
fine hay stacked around his shanty, which
he has held for several years, refusing to
sell it, saying that there would be Rus
sian war soon, when he would get $50
ton for every bit of it. He has figured it
out, and keeps the figures among some old
papers, showing how much this hay will
bring him. He counts on from 1,200 to
1,500 tons, and hugs the idea to his bosom
that it will shortly wiring from $4,000 to
S75, 900 from the Russian Government. He
will not permit pound of this hay to be
sold, aud it is going to ruin. He is dying
for went Of e few of the necessary comforts
of life"
Charles C. Case went from New England
to California in lS4S, during the gold fever.
He was then % years old. He made some
money and returned ss far as Illinois and
settled in Cook county. He bought $50
acres of land and made other Investments,
and has always been prosperous.

PROTECTING MANuFAcruRERs.
Several Button Makers Who Want an
Increased Tariff

1HCredSeu
WASHINGTON, January 9;h.-The Ways
and Means Committee listened again this
| morning to several farmers as to their
| needs in the way of protection. Several
| paper makers were also heard.
John L. McCabe, of an importing wood
| pulp company of New York, wanted the
duty on wood pulp removed.
E. L. Embree representing an American
company, asked for the existing rate.
Several representatives of leather inter
ests wanted the duty on wool grease or
wool degras Immediately reduced or re-
moved.
Representatives OF the button manu-
factures wanted protection on ivory, horn
and other hard buttons. P. Liedman, of
New York, speaking on the button ques-
ton, said Bohemia is the curse of this
country so far as manufactures are con-
cerned. The people there live like cattle
and work for almost nothing. Men,
women and children.
Mr.. Powerfully don't they come over
here?"
Witness-"A good many of them do.
They are treated like dogs there, and when
they come here become our labor agitators
and masters"
Mr.. Breckinridge-"They spend most of
their time here then in reforming"
Governor Gear-"They vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, too, don't they?"
Witness-"Most of them" Laughter
James L. Carr, of Orange, n. j., on be-
half of the fur hat manufacturers, asked an
increase of duties. The duty proposed in
the Senate bill would be insufficient, and
the business Is threatened with extinction
owing to English and Belgian competition
At meeting of The Senate Committee on
Indian Affairs to. day, the reply of Com
missioner Morgan TO the charges filed
against him by Father Stephan, Director of
the Catholic Board OF Missions, was pre-
sented and read. At the conclusion of the
discussion which followed the committee,
by vote of six to one, ordered the nomi-
nation of Thomas ]. Morgan, to be Indian
Commissioner, and d. r. Dorchester, to be
Superintendent of Indian Schools, TO be 1e-
ported favorably to the Senate.

One of the Early Pioneers of Oregon
Crosses the Dark River.
PORTLAND (Or.). January 9th.-George L.
Woods, who was Governor of Oregon from
1866 to 1876 died in st. Vincent's Hospital
Portland, Tuesday night of kidney disease,
of which he had been suffering for long
time.
[Ex-GoyerBor George Lemuel Woods was in
ali respects representative of that class of men
who have made of the Far West the empire
she is. A native of Boone county. Missouri,
and born on the 30th of July, 1887 he went TO
Oregon, when still a Territory, in lS47, he being
at the time only Is years of age. He began life
without means, relying wholly upon his native
energy, and cultivating his homestead with his
own hands. He married in April, 1852, and
leaves widow-a most estimable lady-as his
survivor. He commenced the study of the law
in 1856, being forced to sell his homestead in
order 10 defray his expenses, but soon after his
admission he rose to a distinguished position at
the bar, and in 1868 was appointed Judge of
Wasco county. This was his first political office
aud the entering wedge to his future plomi-
nence. The next year he was a Presidential
Elector on the Union ticket. His ability as
stump orator was established during that cam
paign. Two years later he was appointed AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of Idaho
by President johnson, but before he took posses
sion OF the Office he received the nomination for
Governor of Oregon by the Union State ConYen-
ton. His eloquent addresses have made him
familiar in the asst as ell as in the West, and,
being a tall, graceful and handsome man, his
presence on the rostTum always attracted
marked attention. But few orators were capa-
Bile OF giving as quick and keen retort and al
ways in the form OF rapier thruSt-a telling
cut, not a heavy blow. AS an attorney he was
regarded as an unusually dangerous antagonist,
although his legal attachments were not those
of the temple but his wit was ever wide awake,
ever ready to take advantage of any slip upon
the part of his adversary.l

A wIFE,s SUICIDE.
Mrs. Julia wellsford Commits Suicide at
Her Home.

SAN Francisco, Janusry 9th.-Mrs. Julia
Wellsford, the young wife of Joseph Wells
ford, the mailing clerk of the Examiner,
hung herself during The absence of her
husband last night. No motive for the act
has as yet come to the surface Mr.. Wells
ford states he is absolutely unable to give
any reason for his wife's suicide. Last
night he left his home at $40 Greenwich
street at the usual time, kissing his wife as
was his custom. Nothing extraordinary
in her conduct was noted at the time. She
asked him, however, if he could not come
home little earlier the next morning, but
he answered that he did not think he could.
This morning at. S o'clock he returned,
after having finished his work. Going to
the room of his wife he opened the door,
noting as he did so that it was necessary to
push much harder than usual. Just as he
pushed the door ajar he heard a thump, as
of something heavy falling to the floor.
The door, which was by this time open
several inches, hit against something,
which prevented its going any further.
Rather impatiently Wellsford put his
shoulder to the door and forced il enough
to allow him to enter.
Once inside he locked around to discover
the obstruction, and was unnamed to see
lying at his feet the corpse of his wife.
WlOm ne neQ lett only leW nOufS before
full of health and good spirits As soon as
he could recover from the terrible blow he
called for assistance
Mrs. Wellsford's sister, who resides in
the lower story of the same house, was the
first one to respond, and soon a crowd of
neighbors were present, some offering SYM
patby, but more coming out Of naked curl
osity. The Coroner was notified and made
an investigation. The body was not moved
to the Morgue, however, it not being
thought necessary.
Mrs Wellsford was very methodical in
her preparations for death. a sheet was
torn in half, and after one half had been
twisted slip knot was made in one end OF
it. A hard knot was tied in the other end,
which was then placed over the top of the
door and the door closed. The poor woman
then stood on tip-toe and placed hsr head
in the fatal moose.
She must have accomplished the deed
soon after her husband lefe to go to work,
for the body WIS cold and rigid. The bed
clothing was not disturbed-an evidence
that she had not occupied the bed during
the night.
Wellsford has been married three or four
years. The couple has always apparently
been very happy. The dead woman IVES
very industrious and economical. Her
house was scrupulously clean and orderly,
and every week she mas accustomed to

Democratic Statesman Loses a Suit
with His nIother-in-law.
ST. PAUL CIinn.), January 9,h.--In view
of some recent developments in the United
States Circuit Court at St. Paul it has be-
come burning question whether a man
can get rid of his mother-in-law by di-
vorce. Senator Al. Whiteman, the DASH
ing and wealthy young Duluth Democrat,
would probably answer this question in
the negative. Whiteman was sued by bis
mother-in-law, and what is more to the
point, lost the suit. Mrs. Linnie V. At.
water, of Chicsgo, is the mother of May
Clara, formerly Mrs. Whiteman. She
claims that Whiteman, as her son in-law,
inveigled her into investing s. 600 in worth
less lands. She brought suit against her
divorced son for that amount. eg
To-day the case was presented to the
Jury. One curious thing was the appear
ance of the Senator's ex-wife on The wit
ness-stand She testified that Whiteman
had instructed her mother to settle the
matter for s., 500, for if she brought it into
Court he could fix it with any jury in Min
nesota. This morning the jury brought IN
a verdict for S. 342 81 against Senator
Whiteman.
