TWO PARDOSS GRANTED.
The Governor Exercised Executive Clemency
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
Governor Mckinney yesterday granted a
pardon to Robert Blackwell, who in June,
1890. was sentenced in Campbell county to
three years imprisonment in the penltentiary
for arson.
II appeared from the papers submitted that
Blackwell was tried by the Campbell County
Court on June 10. 1890. found guilty Of house
burning and sent to the penitentiary for three
years. He had been Jointly indicted with
two Others. One Of them was acquitted and
the other ran away later on and was never
arrested. Blackwell had previously borne
good character. but was weak-mlnded. The
other two men had bad reputation and seem
TO be the real offenders The house which had
been burned down was old and not occupied
at the time. The night was cold when the
three parties entered ii and they started q fire
10 keep warm. They left the building later
on without extinguishing the fire. Subse-
quently the house was laid in ashes. but there
is no proof that it had been done intention
ally. The pardon was recommended by the
trial judge. the Commemorative attorney,
the owner of the burned house and a number
of prominent citizens in that locality.
Another pardon was granted by the Cover
nor to George Bronzell, a sixteen-year-old
boy, who on April TO- 1891 had been SEN
fenced in the Hastings Court to three months
incarceration in jail for malicious shooting.
The application for pardon was presented
by Rev. Preston Nash. 1t was Endorsed by
the tral-iudge Commemorative attorney,
the father of the injured boy and several
prominent citizens, who testified to the good
character Of the prisoner.
Ward Rawlse who had been sentenced 10
six years imprisonment in the penitentiary
by the Pittsylvania County Court for ma
hcOus shooting. made an application Tor par
don, but 1t has been refused.

A Monument Recently Dedicated in a
Philadelphia Cemetery by the Improved
Order of Red Men-what Is Going on
in the Other Fraternal Orders.
In beautiful lot in Mount Moriah
cemetery, Philadelphia, stands ahandsome
monument in the form of majestic look
ing Indian. 1t was recently dedicated
under the auspices OF Chippewa Tribe, No.
"a, Improved Order of Red Men This
tribe conceived and executed the plan of
erecting suitable memorial to the breth-
ren who have gone into the presence of the
Great Spirit, with cOmmendable energy.
The spot chosen by the Red Men for
burying their dead is one well suited for
the final homes of those who rest in peace.
The rise and fall Of the land, the little
brook, with its antique looking bridges,
winding in among the trees, together with
time colored vaults sunk deep into the
hillsides. mark it exclusively as the land
of the dead.
The monument is made of bronze and is
about seven feet high, the pedestal and
mound on which il stands raising it about
FIVE feet.
Fully l 900 persons listened to the dedi-
cation exercises. Present Sachem William
Fritz began them with short address,
after which Prophet William Adrian offer
ed up a prayer to the Great Spirit. Charles

ert Grant has not yet met the last con-
dition of this Bostorian outline, but he
has fulfilled nearly all the others. His
life has been one singularly rich in OPP
portunities, and he has known well
how to extract from these the finest con-
ditions and transmute privilege into high
service.
Robert Grant was born in Boston IN
1852, completed the Boston Latin school
course with great success, and later the
Harvard, where he graduated in 1878,
and three years later took the degree of
Ph.D. He entered the Harvard Law
school, from which he was graduated in
1879, and Immediately commenced the
practice of law in Boston. Between tie
time of Mr.. Grants admission to the bar
and 1856, a period Of some seven years,
he achieved a class OF literary work
unique in its range, delicate and subtle
in fancy, full Of charm and imaginative
grace. This work included seven novels,
and number of very clever poems;
but each was so individual in its OWE
line and owed so little to precedent that
his work cannot be altogether classified
by any broadly accepted definitions.
1.-THE Little Tin Gods On Wheels, a
satire in verse, appeared in 1879, and in
it Mr.. Grant showed decidedly his orig
inal bent, his manly hatred of social
shams, his courage in ranging himself
on the side of truth and humanity, and
his clearness of vision in distinguishing
the false from the true. After this ap-
peared 1.-The Confessions Of Frivolous
Girl, which went through a number Of
editions and was literary as we'll as a
popular success The plot was very
slight, but on this slender thread was
hung the hopes and fears, the fancies
and the reflections, the courage and the
cowardice of typical girl of society.
The delicacy of perception shown by
Mr.. Grant in this work has never, it
seems to me, been adequately recognized.
He does not make the mistake-a not
uncommon one - of ascribing TO the
beauty and the belle the possession of all
the vices or errors of the decalogue, and
implying conversely that the poor and
the plain girl possesses all the virtues.
He knows society in its technical sense
too truly for that.

THE LITERARY WORLD.
Hits That Have Been Made This Year by
Two Women of Society.

WIZ InaG nave Been mace Lhib IcdI W
Two Women OF Society.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-The literary hits of
this season seem to have been made by two
women whose experiences and whose po-
sition in society would sca%ely suggest
either the literary habit or the'Opportunity
for literary composition. These two wom-
en- are Mrs Van Rensselaer, Cruger and
Mrs. Burton Harrison, and their success is
of the kind which creates interest in their
personality, so that they are famous enough
TO be talked good deal about now.
Mrs Van Rensselaer, Cruger, in her own
right and by virtue Of her husbands posi-
ton, is entitled to membership in New
Yorks Four Hundred. She Is a beautiful
woman, whom social delights have not left
any traces of WEAKNESS upon. She has
been not only a devotee of society in its
season, but an enthusiast in her fondness
for open air enjoyment, and TO this per
haps she owes her abundant health and
energy. Fer husband, Col. Van Rensselaer,
Cruger, is Of the VanRensellaer family,
who are descendants of the PATRONS who
used to own 80 much of the land border
ing the Hudson in the upper part of the
state and the fortune of the family today
is due largely to the increased values of
these real estate properties.
Col. Cruger is not only prominent in So
cal affairs, but has been one Of the leading
Republican politicians in New York city.
He has held high executive posts in the
party organization, although he has never
held any prominent political Office. He
was a candidate for lieutenant governor in
the election Of 1888, but suffered defeat
with the rest of his ticket. 1t is undoabt-
edly largely due to her husbands expert
ences that Mrs. Cruger has been able TO
write so Understandings Of affairs which
usually men alone could write entertain
inGly upon. Mrs. Cruger inherits from
both sides Of her family the literary in
