The Herald of Buffalo Bills Show Dies Far
Away From Home.


Away From Home.
ESPECIAL TELEcRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK, February 6-In few days an
ocean tramp steamer will bring back to the city
he loved so well all that remains of Frank
Richmond. The trumpet-voiced herald of the
Buffalo Bill "Mest" died at Barcelona so sud-
denly that some of his friends and relatives
have not yet recovered from the shock. It was
supposed that he had an iron constitution, and
certainly he was q rugged man in appearance.
But one cold day at Barcelona he delivered his
lecture in the open air without coat to protect
him, and from that circumstance dates his sick
ness. Richmond had protested against speak
ing in his light costume. But Cody was firm,
and he insisted that the auditors should not be
made more uncomfortable than they already
were by the suggestion of frigid tempera-
ture.
Early in his youth he became the adopted son
of the veteran playwright Charles Gayler,
whose wife was with him at his death. Mrs.
Gayler has Just returned to the city after a two
years sojourn in Italy. She is frank and forci-
BILE in her complaint against the Wild West
proprietors. On the day that Richmond last
lectured, she says, the receipts were not over
Sl0 yet Cody insisted upon giving show.

born December q, 1880, just half a mile from

been obtained. During his entire lifetime up
to within the past 20 years, he managed the
farm himself He lost his wife but Is years ago.
By her he had six children, all of whom, with
one exception, have died, leaving the old gen.

Though Mr.. Chandlee never took an active
part in politics nor ever held public trust, he
took great interest in political affairs. HIS
first vote was for Madison, and he had voted at
every Presidential election since. He cast his
vote for William Henry Harrison, and also for
his grandson. When the Whig party arose he
voted with it, and has voted the Republican
ticket ever since there has been Republican

THE winding up of the American Building
and Loan Association of Minneapolis accord
ing to the report of Public Examiner Kenyon
had to be ordered yesterday because that body
had hagrantly violated the law and common
business principles. The loaning of money on
second mortgages on real estate, the investing
of 100000 In an insurance company were its
chief violations of the law. Well conducted
associations of this kind have been proved to
be beneficial, but they must always be managed
according to law and the stockholders must be
more watchful than they appear to have been
in Minneapolis.

students no longer need go to Europe. He
said: 'sIn Boston and New York there are
excellent advantages for art students 1t
seems to me, though, that there is not enough
interest and encouragement shown to Ameri-
can artists here and that patronage Is rather
a matter of fashion. think that there is a
great future for art in America" The encour-
agement of American artists with cold cash is
the most desirable form of aid that art in this
country needs.

SPEAKER REED has conducted difficult
contest with wonderful courage and tenacity.
1t is not, we think, right to charge his conduct
to personal conceit or egotism. He was the
only man to carry out the policy Of his party,
and he, has carried it out to the bitter end.
How wise or Just this policy was is another
thing. for which the Republican party, rather
than Mr. Reed, will have to answer. Of his
own part in the fight, politically considered,
Mr.. Reed may well be proud.

IN these days when Mr.. Carnegie is set
ting such good example in providing libraries
for the people, it is gratifying to observe that a
number of young women of Boston and other
cities in Massachusetts have formed an organi-
zation for the purpose of supplying small towns
with libraries. Already by agitation of the
subject the organization has established sew
eral small libraries. The Legislature of Mas
sachusetts is to be asked to contribute 500 to
any town showing disposition to start libra
~. The work is highly honorable and useful.

SOME weeks ago tender poetlet asked the
public to sympathize with him because his re-

terribly scanty. 1t may comfort this poetic
youth to contemplate the statement that the

poem. Poets may not all improve by age-some,
vide Tennyson, deteriorate-but their pay al
most always improves.

FOREIGN physicians are to be taxed and
examined vigorously before being allowed to
practice IN France. The examination will not
displease capable physicians, and will exclude
quacks. 1t is wise measure. But the tax is
not worthy of a civilized power, and will hurt
the French more tnan foreign physicians.

Last evening the home of Colonel and Mrs.A.

Duelling DPummerS.

Scale, Ala, May 16.-A duel to the
death was fought here between Louis
Smith and Edward Elkins, travelling
statesmen from Montgomery, Ala. A
year ago the two men quarrelled on
account of young lady they were

opened fire at the same time. At the
third shot ball struck Elkins in the
breast, killing him almost instantly.
Smith is thought to be fatally
wounded,
