He Marries the Daughter of a Dead
Brewer, Twelve Years His Junior.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.I
Troy, May Binary Agnes Fitzgerald
is the eldest daughter of the late Michael
Fitzgerald, who established the Garryowen
brewery, Of which ex-Mayor Fitzgerald is
now the sole proprietor. She lived with
her sisters in good style in handsome resi-
dence. She was really the head of the
house, her mother being dead. Some years
ago Miss Fitzgerald was engaged to be mar
ried, but her betrothed was taken i'll
and died. 1t was great shock to
her, and for a long time she avoided the
company of men. About five years ago
Edmund O'Brien, dashing young fellow of
fine form and handsome features, was en-
gagged as coachman. He was so attentive
and industrious that he was soon made a sort
of an overseer.
O'Brien always drove the family carriage
and accompanied Miss Mary on her shopping
tours, but nobody thought they had any at
tachment for each other For the last few
weeks, however, their relations have at
tracted attention and Dame Rumor was yery
busy. Matters were becoming so uncomfort-
able that Miss Mary visited her Uncle Ed
mund to-day and confessed that she had
quietly married O'Brien on April %. Her
sisters are very indignant and Mrs. O'Brien
has left them. She says that she is satisfied
and nobody else ought to find fault O'Brien
is his brides Junior by dozen years at least.

And so. from old Fort Duquesne, where
Washington secuted and fought, down past
Point Pleasant, where was waged one of the
]bloodiest of Indian battles in America, past
Marietta. past the Kentucky home and
haunts of Daniel Boone, we followed the
watery dead line of early Indian wars. Is
it strange that the joking cry of the farmer
boy struck serious vein in our thoughts?
Queer people you meet on the river; but
perhaps the most interesting of all are the
ssshanty-boat' tribe. We had had long.
hard mornings pull against head winds and
had made little progress, were behind time,
and were discouraged. We were passing
the lone shanty boat of river tradesman.

The Tortoise and the Rabbit.
Chris hailed him and asked leave to boil
coffee on his stove. I expected a rebuff,
but the trader cordially invited us to walk
in, gentlemen; you seem rather tagged. Set
down, set down. seen you uns a passin'
us above t'other day, but this old tortus
runs night and day and gifts ahead of the
rabbit sometimes while you're taking a
nap." And so the loquacious old chap
ran on.
Glad of rest, we stayed and drifted
with him some 10 or II miles that night,
bunking on pile of bags in corner. To be
sure the willy old fox turned our visit to his.
profit. He proved to us plainly, by river
logic, what our experience had already
shown-that we had certain cumbrous bag
gage tina; ought to be disposed of, and he
bought it of us for a song, 'just to accom-
modate you uns, you know; I'm alters a-buy-
in a lot O. no-account truck, just to help
folks out" Very likelyl
But the information he gave proved SO
valuable, his bacon tasted SO good, that
night spent with him drifting and resting
was so pleasant-what did care if 1t was
all scheme to strike a trade. Long into
the night sat with him as he steered his
clumsy craft and shouted his queerly qua
vered songs.
Finally he lapsed into silence. The frogs
took up the song and had monopoly, ex-
cept for the gurgling of the water and the
distant baying of a hound I was just ready
to feel romantic and silently soliloquizing
the moon, when I heard a loud whisper
from the other end of the shanty-boat, as
one of the traders young hopefu1s said to
his brother, "Say, Bill, let's take the skiff
and go ashore and steal that hound bark
ing"
"Shet up, you young rascal, said the old
man, never losing his good humor. 'fYou've

Denizens of the shanty-Boats.

Many kinds of people inhabit these
shanty-boats. These boats are built at a
cost of from $40 up to 5000 or $500. The
ground to build on is free. There is no rent
to pay. There is change of air and scenery.
One house serves for winter and summer
residences-the current and towboat carry
ing you back and forth. You can always be
travelling, yet always at home. Your liveli-
hood is gained sometimes one way, some
times another-whc questions? A man
builds such home, puts his family aboard;
chooses. "For," said the old trader, with
''hee-hee" and a nudge, "you can alters
get cook. There's plenty to go along And
you can trade her off for another whenever
you git tired of her." Then he drifts lazilT
during the summer, fishing, trapping, steal
ing and making his way to warmer climes
as winter approaches. Far down at New
Orleans or elsewhere, spring finds him and
he sells out to return, or tows back with
some feet of barges, to begin again.
Or a trader will load up at Pittsburg or
Cincinnati with drygoods, trinkets, queens
ware, everything, and make his way trading
with the farmers or trappers, until at the
end of the journey he has a rich store of
bartered goods to sell ere his northward
return.

"Say, old man," said my roommate,

The canoes were built, and though their

During all these years Of disaster to
our commercial and business interests the
wealth Of the country has been rapidly

$1,000 people own five eighthS Of the
aggregate wealth Of the entire ma
ton. Every branch Of business is de-
pressed. The merchant fails for want Of
trade and the banker from depreciation

abodes of poverty and want, and conse-
quent crime, while the country 10 overrun
with tramps. Starvation stalks abroad,
amid an "overproduction" Of food, and
illy-clad men and women and helpless
children are freezing In the midst Of an
''overproduction" Of clothing.
It must be apparent to every unbiased
mind that something is wrong and that
somebody is responsible for the wrong.
We hold that these conditions are the

the constant increase Of business fail

ADDRESS OF THE STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE OF THE PEOPLES PARTY TO THE
PEOPLE OF KANSAS.

Address OF The SIAfE CENIhAh OOA-
MITTEE OF THE PEOPLES PARTY TO THE
PEOPLE OF KANSAS.
The people Of Kansas are to be con-
graduated and the cause Of political re-
form must be encouraged by the results
of the recent election In this state. The
official returns show that we have cast
6,388 more votes than our candidate for
governor received in 1890, while the Re-
publican vote ia 23,689 less than the vote
cast for Lyman U. Humphrey last year.
The Democratic vote of the state has
dwindled from II 1857 in 1890 to 81, 1888 In
1891.
There was a Democratic Republican
vote cast of 99,858; and while, through
the manipulation Of this vote we have
lost many county officers, yet, through
out the state we have carried the town
ship and local offices almost ten to one.
Last year the Democrats generally
made no nominations for county officers,
and the same is true of candidates for
Congress in five of the seven congresSlon-
al districts, while this year they have
openly coalesced with the Republican
party.
With the exception Of two Democratic
district judges and a few unimportant
local officers, the credit for whose cleo
ton is claimed by Republicans, the aid
and comfort which the Democrats gave
to their old enemy has not only been bar
rem Of good results to themselves, but 1t
has lowered the standing Of that party in
the state by 39,524 votes.
The last election demonstrates that.
Notwithstanding, the corruption, the bull
doing and the mendacity of our chief
political opponents, the Peoples party is
to-day stronger than ever before, and
more numerous than any other. 1t is,
by a safe margin, the plurality party of
Kansas. While it Is true we are not yet
a majority Of all the people we are more
nearly so than any other party and we
are therefore beyond the power Of any
political element to dictate where and
hoy the political power of the state Of
Kansas shall be cast.
The false claim of cur enemies, whose
mendacity is most disheartening to pa
triotism and manhood, that our adher-
ents have forsaken their principles and
returned to their old party wallow, Ia
demonstrated by the returns to be q
base slander,prompted by the unhallowed
wishes of those by whom 1t is uttered.
The alleged victory Of the Republican
party is like that of the British red coats
at Bunker Hill, in fact but the beginning
of peoples freedom. We have passed
through the most tryingaordeal and have
maintained our integrity. The argument
is upon our side, and the cause OF the

the people, irrespective Of occupation or
calling, to rise above the partisan pref

We appeal to reason and not to preju-
dice, and IL the facts and arguments we
present can be refuted we neither ask or

In view Of the Importance Of the work
before US the state central committee has
decided upon a more thorough and sys-
tematlc organization than has ever be-
fore existed. Party headquarters are to

executive committee to put itselfin touch
and sympathy with all our friends and
friendly agencies, and plan Of local or

as it's details can be wrought out and for

Let the dissemination Of our principles

devotion and more determined spirit
than ever before.
The political expressions of the recent
conventions of laborers and producers Of
the whole country at Indianapolis and
Toledo were eminently satisfactory and
particularly encouraging to the Peoples
party. The Farmers Alliance, the
Knights of Labor and other labor organ
izations are political, though not parti-
san, organizations. They are political,
as every organization in this country
must, be which seeks the material well
fare of its membership. They will ad-
here to that political party which m ost
nearly sympathizes with their principles
and most earnestly seeks to accomplish
the ends for which they are striving.
With them principles are first and party
second. 1t is to remedy evils growing
out of existing vicious legislation that
these orders have been organized. For
these conditions they hold the two old
parties responsible. A new political
party is a necessit y to them; and the In
diana and Toledo conventions assure us
that they are ready to recognize this party
of the people as the agency indispensa-
BILE to the success Of their objects; and
we have only to wait for the great indus
trial convention of February %, 1892, for
the public declaration which will unite
their ranks with ours throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
It is claimed by our opponents that
our party is composed of anarchists, de-
structioniSts and repudlators. A mo-
ment's reflection must disabuse every un-
biased mind upon this subject. In Kan
sas, where the party has attained
strength equal or superior to that In any
other state, the farmer element largely
predominates. Our heaviest vote is polled
in the rural districts. While an idOlatrous.
unprlncipled, plutocrstic press does not
scruple in obedience to the behests Of its
masters, for partisan purposes, TO desig-
nate the sturdy yeomanry of our state as
anarchists and repudiators, the sober,
thoughtful people Of all classes must re-
allze that the charge Is without founda-
ton.
Farmers have ever been the most con-
servative Of men. They realize tn at
their interests are suffering to-day from
conditions that have been inflicted upon
the country by years Of systematic
vicious legislation; and their present atti-
tude toward the parties that are respon-
sible for this legislation Is simply revolt
against these adverse conditions. Nor dc

Barking OF Dogs.

In writing of the native dogs Of Gen.
tral America Frederick Boyle brings for
ward a theory rs to how dogs form the
habit OF barking. He was discussing
with an old resident of the country some
traits Of the coyote, > as the native wolf
is called, but which more nearly resem-
blcs the dog.
Dogs will never go wild SO long as
they c;ln find a master to serve, and
more especially trained dogs. The coyote
never barSs, and only gallops when pur-
sued. In regard to the first of these.

to try and initiate his master, or at all
events the other dogs, but all barking
proceeds from dogs initiating their mas
ters shout. The master shouts to frighten
away cattle from his maize tield-the
dog barlis directly: the master shouts to
drive ii cattle to the corral, and the dog
barks also. In fact, the dog initiates his
master when he barks: he tries to speak.

give this curious observation as tho
