The Son of the Poet Longfellow.

I met Ernest Longfellow, son of the
gentle poet, recently standing beforssa
splendid landscape in an art gallers on
Fifth avenue. He is tall, SOMEWHAT
slender, and has q few streaks of gray in
his thick dark hair. He is said to look
much as his famous father did in his young
days He is, if anything, taller than his
father was, but the full round face and the
short side whiskers are reminiscent of the
author of Excelsior" Ernest Longfellow
is in the prime of life. He did not inherit
the poetical gift of his father, but he has ,
well-trained imagination, which finds q
preston in painting, chiefly landscape Sub
iects. When young man ne studied Faint
ing in Paris and Munchen and had fhe adj

critic He told me that the French school
of impressionists showed the highestpers

artists who have studied abroad OCCASION
ally do, decry American artists. He
thinks the future for art in this country is
very promising.

PARIS. TEX, Nov. 14.-About IL O'Clock
last night couple of runners arrived in
the city from the country. They wanted
Capt. Gum. They live on Mrs. Fowler's
place, five miles southwest of the city on
the Greenville road. They stated negro
named Lewis Smith, who lives in this city
with his wife, was employed to pick cotton
by one of Mrs. Fowler's tenants. The
woman did most of the picking
while the man spent most of his
time in the city drinking. He had
been away for two or three days. Last
night his wife, who occupied room at the
tenants house, was quite sick. About 10
o'clock she asked the man to bring her 4
bucket of water. He did so, and while
he was in her room Smith came in very
drunk, with his pistol in his hand, and said,
with an oath: "What are you doing here?'
As he spoke the words he threw the pistol
Just over the mans head and fired. His
wife, who was in bed, jumped
up, but he knocked her down. The,
man then ran OIL. After he
left three pistol shots were heard at the
place. The messengers believed that the
negro had killed his wife.
Capt Gum started AT once for the scene
of the trouble. Lewis Smith is a we'll
known character here. He has only one
eye and is tough customer. He killed
another negro in Baum's saloon last May,
which was supposed to have been an acct
dent. He was seen in the city early last
night drinking heartily. .g8E

UNDER THREE CHARGES.
Scene in the Justices Court at Denison.
Two Charges of Criminal Assault
and One of Embezziement.
Special to the Gazette.

DENIsoN, GRAYsoN COUNTY, Ten, Nov.
14.-In the Justices court this evening the
case of Joe O'Bren. charged with embezzle-
ment, came to 4 close after lasting for nearly
two days. and the defendant was placed
under $1,000 bond to await the action of the
grand jury. O'Brien during the past three
months has become quite famous as a law
breaker. He has been for some time en-
gagged in the saloon business here, and was
well and favorably known. Several weeks
since he was arrested on charge of
attempting to rape an aged LADY. Upon this
charge he was placed under bond which is
still pending. About two weeks later a
second charge of rape was preferred against
him, alleged to have been committed year
ago upon a pretty little twelve-year-old girl
who, through fear, had suppressed the fact.
For this charge he had hearing and the
evidence was of such convicting nature he
was placed under heavy bond to await trial.
He now has the three charges hanging
over him. This evening as Prosecuting
Attorney Randall was closing the case,
O'Brien, without word or minutes warn
ing, leaped forward and dealt him a terrible
blow, telling him to the floor. This he fol-
lowed up with several other blows before
assistance reached them. The sympathy of
the public is about at an end. 1t is just,
such conduct which will make it go hard
with O'Brien at the trial. -

How Mis-, Marbury Sells PLAYS.

OF late women have invaded almost every
field of labor that men find remuneratiye.
One woman who has succeeded in New
York in work where many men have failed
is Miss Elizabeth Marbury. She is young
woman who has made 4 unique position for
herself in New York business affairs. Her
name has recently appeared very frequently
in the papers as the agent for NJ. Sardou
in Charles Frohmans American production
of ''I'hcrmidor." Besides the great French
dramatist, Miss Marbury represents NJ
Care, NJ Bison, Haddon Chambers, Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett and others of the
most distinguished dramatists in this coun-
tryand Europe. The particular branch of bus
business of Miss Marburyis that of the ''nid-
dleman,' if the term may be used, between
authors and theatrical managers. She not
only sells the play, but looks after the col
lection o. the royalties, sees that the plays
have adequate productions and protects
the authors rights in every possible re-
Spect. She began about four or five years
ago. She has built up a business of selling
plays upon the most systematic basis that
it has probably ever attained. She grades
the play according to its merits and makes
n study of the fitness of plays to every posi-
bic kind of theatrical company, from tragedy
to farce-comedy. She studies the theat-
rical affairs-or market, you might say
closely watched the metropolitan theaters
that are doing good business or not: she
keeps herself fully informed when business
goes up or goes down, and in this way al
ways keeps herself informed of the proper
time to present a new play to manager.
She carefully avoids bothering a manager
when she thinks he does not want 2 play,
but the very moment her observation indi-
Gates that a new play would be salts
factory or desirable article, she makes it
her business to be on hand with play OF
the character and cast that she feels
certain would just suit the managers
wants Her Judgment is profoundly
esteemed by the leading New York
managers. and the fact of her present
position shows that the confidence has been
fairly won and merited.
Miss Marbury is a woman of independent
character She is one of the type who have
good homes with no absolute necessity of
earning their own living, but prefer TO
do so.
This bright young woman has big office,
and is simply overruu with business Of all
kinds connected with Theatrical produc-
TONS She is about twenty-five years of
age. rather delicate looking, but has a
bright and animated face. She is delight
ful woman TO talk to, and expresses herself
with force, directness and terseness.

that they are doing the entertaining. 1t is
only now and then to intimate friends that
she discusses the war and the brilliant re-
cord of her hero husband. She knows by
heart his war record, and just at what hour
and day of the year he made such and such
charge in such and such a battle. One of
finest pictures she has of her husband rep
resents him on horseback. He looks an
ideal trooper in the photograph. Years ago,
before the war, Mrs Hancock's family were
well known in St. Louis society. They
were contemporaneous with the Dents,
who lived there also. Mrs Hancock, as a
young lady, Twas much courted. Her ad-

Is wonderfully successful organizer and
tremendous worker. He never undertook
any project that he did not carry to a sue
cessful issue. His summer Bible class at
East Northfield, and his school for training
evangelists in Chicago, are evidences Of
this.
MIR. Moody is forceful rather than an
eloquent speaker. His voice, though
strong has lost its resonant sound by rea-
son of the great demands he has made upon
it for years. But he is earnest, his manner
is convincing, and he never leaves a SUBJ
ject until he has clearly elucidated every
doubtful point and made them plain to the
weakest intellect. But, after all, to see
Mr. Moody at his best one must see him,
when, after the close of his sermon, he in
vites those who are still skeptical to come
up on the platform and talk to him. No
one leaves his hands who is not ready to
profess Christianity.
Mr.. Sankey has also grown stout and
gray. He is very serious looking and no
one would recognize in him the sweet sing
err of Israel who a few years ago was a
factor, and perhaps the principal one, too,
in the greatest revival meetings that have
been held in recent years
He is very sensitive in regard to his
voice, and the reports that were circulated
at one time that it was failing worried him
exceedingly. Such is, however, not the
fact. 1t still possesses all the volume and
richness it ever did. This l learned when
l visited him at his coy Brooklyn home not
long ago. He opened small cabinet organ,
the identical one that he took with him to
Europe years ago, and played and sang for
me the Ninety and Nine" and others of
his favorite hymns. He said his voice was
as good as it ever was, and believe him.
Mr.. Sankey has given over 1900 for a
Young Mems Christian Association build
ing in his native town of Newcastle, Pa.
He sold millions of copies of his last hymn
book, containing the sweetest gospel songs
known to Christians. Contrary to the usual
belief, ne mas not written many hymns.
His strength lies in his ability to select
good poety, arrange music to suit and rem
der it in highly artistic manner.

Editors Who Dislike to be interviewed.

1t is rather curious that nearly all the
great editors of this country should Shun
reporters as they do. They seem to fear
interyiewerS, and are as skittish as cabi-
net officer whenever approached. Take
James Gordon Bennett, for example. He
is fond of a good time, and he always treats
newspaper men well, but but he will
not submit to an interview. Neither
will Joseph Pulitzer. In the politest,
blandest terms both asked to be excused.
Charles a. Dana will occasionally submit if
he happens 10 be cornered in some other
city. Whitelaw Reid is pocket edition of
Chesterfield when a reporter approaches
him, but never word for publication.
Horace White and E. l.. Godkin are just as
close-mouthed. So is George W. ChildS.
Occasionally Murat Halstead, Henry Wat
terson and Col. a. K. Mcclure may be ia
ken unawares and interviewed, but it is
not often.
But there is one great editor who is al
ways accessible, a genial, whole-souled,
manly man. 1t is George William Curtis.
He does not begrudge either the time or the
ideas he may give. He is courtesy itself to
reporters.
There is still another man who occupies
high and very unique place in journalism,
VIVA HIS done more than any man 1 know
of to aid young men in their work. 1t is
the always youthful and cheerful Joseph
Howard. l have reported many state and
national conventions, inaugurations of pres
iQentS, ETC., and have seen Mr.. Howard
again and again go out of his way to help
his younger brethren of the press. 1t was
no task, either. He has always given help
with cheerful alacrity. In fact, helping
others is the only gospel he knows. He is
meyer too busy to stretch out hi strong
arm TO help the weak. There is no news
paper man on Park row to-day who cannot
go to Howard for help, and what is more to
the purpose, he will get it, too.
