Died i'm the Saddle.

From the Sacramento Record-Union.
AT the ranch of William Dixon, the we'll
known Costumes farmer, singular instance of
sudden death occurred the other forenoon.
Mr.. Dixons brother, Michael S. Dixon. set out
on horseback to drive up some cattle. He had
been a sufferer from heart disease. and his
brother tried to dissuage him from going. but
as he insisted on going it was deemed best TO
have his nephew accompany him. Alvin
Plummer, oyerseer of the road district that
embraces that locality, was coming to the CITY
TO transact some business with the board
of supervisors and saw the men driving
cattle in the field near the road Presently
he noticed the elder Dixon rein M
his horse, lean forward over the pommel of his
saddle and remain in that position, the horse
meanwhile standing quite still. Mr.. Plummer
thought that something was wrong with the
man, but concluded that lie had an attack of
bleeding at the nose. Young Dixon rode nm
and spoke to his uncle, who did not move, and
then rode hurriedly to the lane and informed
Mr.. Plummer that ke believed his uncle was
dead Mr.. Plummer drove into the field and
over to where the horse and his immoyable
rider were, and found that Mr.. Dixon was
really dead. He assisted the young man in
lifting the body from the horse and placing il
in the buggy, and then drove back with il 70
the Dixon ranch.

STANLEY THE LOVER.
He Has Been Engaged for Four Years
to Miss Tenant.

London Special to the New York Herald
Stanley has made new and rapid conquest,
a marriage having been arranged between him
and Miss Dorothy Tenant The lady is well
known not only in society but to the world at
large as a clever artist. She has for some years
past been almost a protege of the Baroness
Burdett-Coutts, and it WAS at her house nearly
four and a half years ago that Stanley met
Miss Tenant From the first day he pre-
scented to his future bride by the baroness he
seemed to find in the quietude of Miss Ten
nants society that haven of rest which is now
rarely his. 1t will no doubt be news to the
public of this country and America to learn
that three days before Stanley departed upon
his perilous mission to find Emin Pasha he
proposed to Miss Tenant and was duly ac-
cepted by her. The Baroness Burdett-C outts
and some half dozen near friends we're in
formed of the engagement, but all we're sworn
to the strictest secrecy until such time the
lovers should deem fit to make their engage
ment pupic property.
How well these few privileged friends have
kept their trust may be judged from the fact
that nearly four years have passed and not one
word has escaped their lips. During the years
that Stanley had been absent in Africa Miss
Tenant and her lover have been regular cor
respondents as far the difficulties of postal
arrangements would permit Each mail that
Emin Pasha relief committee also contained a
lengthy budget to Stanleys lady love in Rich
mond terrace. 1t is openly stated that Miss
Tenant has now in her possession more writ
ten facts of the dangers, privations and dis
coveries Of the Stanley expedition than even
the relief committee are aware of or the public
can even guess at 1t seemed somewhat strange
to some people that Stanley, when first putting
his foot on London soil after his return to this
country, should drive direct to the Baroness
Burdett-Coutts house in Stratton street. The
mystery is now explained. Miss Dorothy Ten
nant was there. II has for weeks past been a
noticeable fact that one of Stanley's most in
terested listeners at his lectures has been Miss
Dorothy Tenant, the artist and author.
Among the friends of this newly-engaged
couple the question most widely asked is what
will the future Mrs. Stanley do when her hus-
band again goes to the darkest Africa On
Friday Miss Tenant was lunching with some
friends and the question was put TO her. The
only reply she vouchsafed to the query was by
asking: us he going out again." 1t is stated
that Stanley will he offered the post of gov
ernor in Africa. Saturday night Miss Tenant
was present at the Turner's Company dinner at
Cannon Street Hotel with Stanley and received
many good wishes for her future happiness.
Miss Tenant is the niece of Sir Charles Ten
nant She is very good looking and Will be
well lowered. As an artist she paints nude
studies generally, but this year she has a WON
derful picture of realistic London life entitled
''Street Arabs at Play" which she shows at the
new gallery.

ton is one of Importance to the saloon keepers

PENDANTS interested were represented by Messrs

1t was Claimed by Col. Cook in his argument
that the rule is illegal and that it uniustly
deprlves citizens OF their constitutional rights
OF a trial by jury.
Judge Miller said that as the question was an
important one he would like to hear what coun-
sci had to say on the subject.
In order to have a full hearing of the matter

newspaper which he edits He was born in
Maine in 1925 and began life on g farm. His
strength not being sufficient to stand farm
work, he went as a boy to Lewiston, where
he worked in q mill, taught school and en-
gagged in other occupations which furnished
the money to support him while he was getting
an academy education. His vocation even
then manifested itself for he wrote a number
of sketches for Maine papers that attracted
considerable attention and are still remem-
bered by old residents of the state Mr..
Noyes' health was far from robust, and being
obliged to seek a milder climate, he turned bis
back on his boyhood home and set forth to
Washington with such scanty stock of
money that he deemed il prudent to walk the
last forty miles, from Baltimore to the capital.
He arrived in Washington friendless and
almost penniless in December, 1s47. His first
employment was given him by the late
Joseph Shillington, for many years a we'll
known bookseller, who, at the time mentioned,
was the agent in Washington for the Baltimore
Sun, and engaged young Noyes route
agent. In the following spring he found EN-
ployment on a weekly newspaper called the
Washington Necs, and at the same time was
engaged writing letters from Washington to a
number of papers in Maine, Boston and Phil
adeiphia. From that time ne became one of
the most active newspaper men in Washington.

ing periods in the history of the nation and

In 1896 Mr.. Noyes became connected with The
STAR as a reporter first, but his talent was
quickly recognized, and he became the as
slstant editor. When Mr.. Wallach sold out in
1867. Mr.. Noyes, as has been stated, became
one OF the proprietors, and assumed the edi-
torlal management Of the paper.
Though never robust, Mr.. Moves has done an
enormous amount of newspaper work. Until
within few years he attended to nearly all the
details of editorial management. and he still
gives his personal supervision to the work of
the staff to a greater extent than is usually
done by edltors-in-chief. Like Mr.. Kaufman,
Mr.. Moves is fond of travel. Early in life ne
tramped through Europe in the Bayard Taylor
style and wrote most interesting letters about
ms trip. He has travelled over the United
States and South America, made several Euro
pean trips, and has just returned from trip to
the Sandwich Islands, whittier he was accom-
panied by one of his daughters. Mr.. Noyes has
a pleasant home in the country few miles
from Washington, but spends his winters at
one OF the hotels in town. He has three sons
and two daughters. The sons are connected
with The STAR, one Of them, Mr.. Theodore W.
Moves, being associated with him editor.

From the Philadelphia Press
Little Baby Morgan still lies lowering be-
tween life and death. Last Wednesday he fell
through an open window of a PHILADELPHIA,
Wilmington and Baltimore train Just this side
of the Darby station. He landed on a pile of
rocks and was picked up unconscious suffering
from confusion of the brain. Since then he has
had one spasm after another, although yester-

real name is Robert Anderson. He was born
two years ago. Before Baby reached his second
birthday anniversary he could talk with ease.
He was sturdy little chap with golden hair.

eyes. Every one knew him in Darby and
every one loved him. Baby Rob was returning
home with his mother and elder sister that
morning. Mrs. Morgan was arranging her
bundles and wraps and Rob stood by her side
window was open. Rob stood there until
the train whirled around curve. when
the cars lurched and the child was
tossed through the window. Mrs. Morgan
uttered a scream and rushed toward the door,
but two gentlemen held her fast until the train
stopped. Then they hurried back to the curve,
and on q heap of stone by the track lay Baby
Rob. his eyes closed, his face perfectly black.
DIR. Mcclure of Darby was summoned and re-
manned with the injured little one all Wednes-
day afternoon and night. During that time
the baby suffered five commissions. Since
Thursday Robbie has had spasms at intervals.
Mr. Morgan resides on 4th street, Darby, in a
pretty cottage, over the veranda of which
honeysuckles and ivy climb luxuriantly. The
veranda was deserted yesterday by all save a
wooly dog. which stood in one corner, where
Robbie left him early Wednesday morning
The house was darkened. In the parlor sat the
sufferers foster parents; and standing by the
wall, silently gazing at photograph Of a little
baby. was Robbie's father. The room back Of
one wall was covered with pillows, and upon
these lay Robbie looking up at his sad-faced
mother who knelt by his side. Long golden
curls were brushed back; the cheeks were
deathly white; the blue eyes had lost their
sparkle.

proper means to raise paper, raising the price
from under 1000 francs per ton to over 1000
