THE WOUNDING OF FATHER
j CRAFT AT WOUNDED KNEE:

The priest stood in the thick of the
fight, robed in cassock and wearing
the black cap Of his order, while the
desperate barbarians around him and
the soldiers facing him we're dropping
like leaves-shot, stabbed and man
gled. An Ogalala-it was the Brules
who were fghting-threw down his
gun and rushing to the priest threw
his arm around him and exclaimed
in his native language Glove me,
father do not beloitg to their band;
l have thrown down my gun"
"Lie down and you will be safe, my
son." said the priest, but the frightened
creature clung to him with grip he
could not break. A Brule passing
them could not recognize the priest
behind the Indian, and as lie passed
struck backward and plunged his
knife into Father Crafts back. Not
noticing the wound he continued his
endeavor to calm the Indians and
trying to pursuade the frantic Oga1ala
to release him and lie down, when a
soldier, young Irishman, came to
him and amidst the roar Of the guns
said; with the most admirable calm
ness "Father, | am dying; will you
hear my confession Four bullets
had passed through his body, and
bleeding from every wound he laid
his head on the priests shoulder and
made his confession. Father Craft
raised his hand and began the absolu-
ton, when the dying soldier began
sinking to the ground. 'Lean on
me-" said the priest. He extended
his arm and the soldier clutched it,
but Father Craft had been bleeding
from his own wound, and had grown
too weak to bear the weight of the
dying man. Struggling still with the
Indian, who clung to him for protec-
tion, he ard the wounded soldier sunk
to the ground, and leaning over him
Father Craft finished the absolution
and the soldiers spirit passed away.
The Ogalala then grew brave. He
lifted the priest to his feet and aided

of bullets to the field hospital. Il

USE OF CHARCOAL.

The Boston Journal Of Commerce dis
courses thus on the uses of charcoal !:
Besides being valuable as fuel. it has
other uses which make it one of the NEST
serviceable of articles. When laid fat,
while Geld, ON burn, it causes the
pain to abate by. leaving it on for
an hour, the burn seems almost healed
when the wound is superficial. Tainted
meat surrounded with It is sweeteneC.
Strewn over heaps of decomposed pelts
or over dead animals, charcoal prevents
unpleasant odors. Foul water is puri-
fed by it. 1t is great disinfectant, and
sweetens offensive air if placed in shall
low trays around apartments. 1t is so
very porous that it absorbs and con-
denses gases rapidly. One cubic inch
of fresh charcoal will absorb nearly one
hundred inches Of gaseous ammonia.
Charcoal forms an excellent poultice for
malignant wounds and sores. In cases
OF what is called proud flesh it 10 inya-
luable 1t gives no disagreeabfe odor,
corrodes no metal, hurts no texture, in
jures no color, is simple and safe
sweetener and disinfectant. A teaspoon.
full of charcoal in half glass Of water
often relieves sick headache. It alb.
sorbs the gases and relieves the distended
stomach, pressing against the nerves
which extend from the stomach to the
head.

This gentleman, who has now at-!

descendant Of one of the noblest
races in the world, race that has

that has ever stood at a head Of peo-
Plea good cid Scotch Irish family.
His father was of Irish extraction,
his mother a member of the Scotch
family of McMaths.
The family, when emigrating to
this county, first settled in Virginia,
and in time spread its branches
through tie Carolinas and Georgia.
In 1883 his parents emigrated to Tex
as and established their home at Ma
cogdoches.
He himself was born March "a,
1851, at Rusk, Cherokee county,
Texas, and was left an orphan when
only II years of age. His father was
a member of Ector's brigade, Confed-
crate army, and fell in battle at Co.
rinth, Miss, and not long after this
sad event his mother yielded her
gentle life in the hands of her Maker.
The property Of the family was swept
away by the war, and the boy was
compelled to, unaided, take his part
in that struggle for existence in which
eff the race is not always to the swift,
the battle is assuredly with the strong"
He disdained no honest employment,
and did any work his hands could
find to do. To secure practical edu-
cation he entered a newspaper Office
as "printcr's deviW and worked his
way up until lie owned and edited a.
paper, the Longview News, which was
subsequently removed to Quitman,
Wood county, Texas, and the name
changed to the Quitman News. He
read law four years while residing in
the towns of Tyler, Longview and
Quitman, and was admitted to the
bar in 1874. After four years sue
cessful practice, he was elected County
Attorney Of Wood county, and after
filling that position two years was
elected District Attorney for the Sew
enth Judicial District, which position
he held for four years. He was nom
mated by the Democratic state con-.
vention Of 1886 for Attorney General
and was elected in November Of that
year. In 1888 he was re-nominated
and reelected to the same Office and
