Natural Sequence of Twenty Years
Silence Between Husband and Wife.
There live in Ottawa, Kans., man and

They are considered good Christians and
are charitable. Their grandchildren play
around their yard. and to all outward ap-
pearances they are as happy an old
couple as could be found in the country.

ago the father attempted to correct the

was violently enraged at her action and
talked very harshy to his wife, telling her
that he would not speak TO her again until
she apolOgized for what she did. Mrs. Stet-
son was as stubborn as her husband, and re-
piled that she would not speak to him until
he spoke first. From that time on they have

A TOUCHING SCENE.
Piteous Appeal for Mercy From an Oct

Piteous Appeal for Mercy From an Octo-
gensrian Counterfeiter.
One Of the most interesting cases on the
November docket of the United States Dis
triet Court was on trial Wednesday after
noon before Judge Thayer says tie Globe
Democrat. 1t was the case of John c.
Welker, Calvin Green, George R. aud Jacob
We lker, Johnson Limbaugh and Jacob Long.
They were arrested on July "a 1891. by an
agent of the Government in Bolllnger
County, Mo-, and brought TO ST. Louis for
trial.
At the time Of their arrest complete set
of dies for making spurious dollars and
halves, along with the other necessary par
aphernaiia were found buried i'll the ground
near the farmhouse OF John c. Weiker.
The trial has been postponed from time to
time. owing to the illness of the defendant
Calvin Green, who is 81 years old and has
been confined in the cOnsumptive ward of
the City Hospital for the past month. He
was able 10 be taken into court, although in
very feeble condition. After hearing the
evidence the Judge ordered John c. and
George r. Weiker, Limbaugh and Long re-
turned TO the Jail until Saturday, when he
will render q verdict in their case. Jacob
Welker was dismissed on nolle proseaui.
and only Calvin Green was left in the room,
as the Judge said he would settle his case
Immediately, owing TO his feeble condition.
Green acknOw lodged making the dies or
plaster of paris mOlds. but says lie did so ut
the request of John G. Welker, who was to
pay him for his trouble. but failed to do SO.
After completing his history of the business
relations between Welker and himself, the
old man made touching plea to the Judge
for mercy, saying: Il beg this kind Court
for mercy, as | think my days are numbered
and they are not long. If live | will never
do so again; but let me ask you, my kind
friend. have mercy on me. as MY old lady is
without means to live. and she is now living
on charity with friend in this city, while
am in jail" At this point the prisoner
dropped his voice to an indistlnct whisper.
AS if indicating himself before the spec
tators for what he was about to do, the
Judge said: II am in doubt somewhat how
to act in this case, but my duty forces me to
sentence the prisoner to the penitentiary at
Jefferson City for TWO years from to-day,
but he can make application for mercy or
pardon TO the proper authorities, and /
therefore direct the Marshal to. take the
prisoner back to the City Hospital and leave
him there long enough to have his case
passed upon by the authorities at Washing
ton" When the Judge had finished the
aged prisoner looked up in his face with
tear-bedimmed eyes and said: II will never
live out half of your sentence, Judge; no,
nor third of it, l pray you. grant me

SHOT IN THE BREAST.
A Tragic Event That Created
Quite Sensation.

Cora Clifford was II years old, tall, slen-
der, brown-eyed and with short curling
hair Of soft auburn tint, when she went
to New York from Peoria, H., four years
ago. She was going on the stage to earn
her own living, so she told Mrs. Robertson,
with whom she went TO board, on East
Twentieth street.
At the theatrical boarding house were
some members of Kate Claxton's company,
and an occasional caller was young actor
of Joseph JefferSon's company. He was
Hawley Chapman, a Yale graduate. tall,
straight accomplished and not at all bad
looking. His father, George Chapman, was
wealthy retired manufacturer, living at
the New York Hotel. Every one knew the
young actor by hiss stage NAME which was
contracted to Jeff by his intimates He
was liberal with his money, convivial In his
habits and good natured to fault when
among his friends. Cora whispered
happy yes" when.he asked her to be his
wife.
His father had threatened, many a time.
to disinherit him IL he did not check the
pace at which he was travelling among the
fastest set of actors and men about town.
When jeff confessed that he was in love
and wanted to marry and settle down, the
old man was incredulous He pooh poohed
the affair at first, and finally, when he
saw the boy was in earnest. he said gruf-
WELL let me see the girl I'll tell you
what think of her in short order"
That night Hawley took his betrothed
to the New York hotel In a cab and the
blushng girl was presented to his father.
The old man was so pleased with her that
after an hours conversation he turned to
his son suddenly and said:
'Hawley, she's an angel. Take her and
| be happy"
Two evenings later Cora and Hawley
went for walk together. and before they

they stepped into the Little Church

later, George Chapman died it was found
that he had left a life interest in $500 600

THE price of imported cigars has in

owing to the fact that the Cuban manufact-
