HENRY CLAY,s LOVE LETTERS
Burned by the Quadroon Placee e
Whom They Were Written.


Whom They Were Written.
from the Chicago Daily News.l
Several months ago we told of an old
lady, then living in Philadelphia, who had
been the placee of Henry Clay. We now
learn of the death of this woman, and of
the destruction of the letters from Clay,
which she used to exhibit as the greatest
treasures in their possession. She was a
quadroon, her mother a Kentucky slave,
and her father having been the nephew of
George Warrington. Clay saw her first
during one of his campaigns in Kentucky.
She was marvel of beauty, and her father
had appropriated considerable sum of mo-
ney to her education and support. This
girl went to Philadelphia and lived in an
establishment set up for her by Mr.. Clay. To
this house would Clay repair whenever his
duties at Washington admitted of his leav-
ing that city. After Clay's death his pla
Gee was married to German. and they
went to California. After several years
she returned q widow, and lived in Phila-
delphia up to the time of her death. To the
end she retained much of her personal
beauty and all her old charm of manner.
She wss exceptionally intelligent, and her
"reminiscences of the old times were full of
interest and information.
Several years ago she revisited New Or
leans, and while there she invited Mr..
Clarence King of New York who happened
to be there en- route from Mexico, to go
with her to see the house where as girl
she had lived in the old town. The two
walked down Canal street toward the
French market and came duly up to the
Clay statue The old lady did not know
of the existence of this statue. Mr.. King
called her attention to it.
"She was overcome with emotion" says
Mr.. King. 81 was never a witness to q
more pathetic scene. In fact, 1 was COM
PEELED to call a carriage to take her back to
her hotel"
This old lady had forty love letters
from Clay. Just before her death she read
them all over for the last time and then
burned them She said she could not leave
them for others to read-others who might
misinterpret them. Mr.. King says that she
allowed him to read many of them, for she
was proud of Clay's regard for her. These
letters indicated that Clay was madly in
love with her. After reading them it was
apparent that the real reason for Clsy's
leaving the senate was not political, but
was determination to follow his beautiful
placee to New Orleans, whittier she had

RUM IN GERMANY.

Fuller details of the proposed law for
the promotion of temperance in Germany
are at hand. They show that the law is
not intended to interfere with the beer
and wine trade, but only with distilled
spirits. 1t provides that any person de-
sirous of erecting restaurant, tavern, or
shop for the retailing of brandy or spirits,
tanned permission; and before this per-
mission or license be given, the local
police and the authorities of the commune
are to be heard on the subject; retail
dealers shall not he permitted to sell
brandy or spirits in quantities of less
than half utre "a litre is a. little over a
United States quartz; retailers of brandy
or spirits in places with more than 5000
inhabitants. with the exception of pastry
cooks, apothecaries, druggists and venders
of delicacies, shall only obtain a
license on condition that they do not COM
bine their brandy and spirits trade with
any other form of trade, and this regula-
tion can, at the pleasure of the local gov
ernment authorities, be extended to places
of less than 5000 inhabitants. Landlords
of inns and traverns shall take such meas
ures that customers may be able to obtain,
besides spirituous liquors, such solid
food as is generally consumed in the local
ity in question, and the local police can
prescribe what bill of fare shall be pro-
vided in individual inns and taverns; land
lords of inns and taverns shall be held re-
sponsible for the maintenance of order on
their premises, and for the absence of every
thing that furthers the abuse of spirituous
| liquors; special provisions may be made as
| to the appointment of women as attend
| ants in inns and taverns; the police Off
| cials shall be authorized, if they think fit,
| to prohibit the retail sale of spirituous
| liquors before s a. M, and to order that
the premises where the sale of such liquors
takes place shall remain closed till that
hour; the landlords of inns and taverns
shall not give to persons under the age of
16, who are not in the company of persons
of full age, spirituous drinks to be drunk
on the premises, except when such minors

ROPING THE WOLF.
Cowboys Lively Experience on a
Bueking Broncho's Back.

Bucking Bronchoss Back.
From the Cheyenne Leader.l
Perry Stiff, a cowboy employed on George
w. Baxter's ranch, was in town yesterday
with three grey wolf skins and three coy
ote skins, all of which netted him s26. .25.
The country pays So bounty for wolf scalps
and 75 cents for coyotes, and the Stock
mems Protective association pays S5 for
wolves
Baxter's ranch is about fifty miles north
east of here, on Little Horse creek. Mr..
Stiff says there are plenty of wolves there.
The skins he brought in yesterday, were
from wolves which he roped while riding
the ranges AS wolf hunter the cowboy
has SO far been more successful than the
members of the Cheyenne Wildcat club,
and his experience with the animals is
much more thrilling. Recently while rid
ing broncho Mr.. Stiff saw a pack of
wolves chasing bunch of horses, in the
rear of which was an old mare and colt, the
object of tie chase being fresh colt meat
Stiff got behind hill, and as the fright
ened horses flew by he put spurs to his
broneho, and, singing out the biggest wolf
in he-paeki made the chase.
AS the cowboys horse was fresh and the
wolf already pretty tired, it was not long
until the moose dropped over the head of
the big gray. The animals fore feet went
through the loop, however, and the rope
frightened around his body in such a way
that he was able to make strong pull.
Finding himself OF the end of the rope the
brute after failing to cut it with his sharp
teeth, made dash for liberty in another
direction. The movement brought the
rope around the broncho's hind legs and
tail, and the natural result was some very
hard bucking Between the bucking horse
and the wolf Stiff had his attention pretty
well taken up. He held to the bucking
strap, and finally got straight, with the
wolf at the end of the rope and square in
front of the horse. By this time the wolf
refused to run, but sat up, and, showing
his long sharp teeth, was ready for fight.
This was Just what the cowboy wanted.
Riding up close to his wolfship to get as
much slack as possible, he turned quickly
and applied the spurs. When the rope
frightened the wolf turned couple of go
mersaults and was almost broken in two,
but the rope held firm to the saddle horn.
By series of such maneuvering the
wolf was finally worn out and dragged to
the ranch. Mr.. Stiff says he has seen as
high as nine wolves in a pack this summer.
Not long ago four of them killed a calf in
Baxter's pasture. Stiff made a suggestion
to another cowboy that while the animals
were full of calf meat was a good time to
chase them down. The suggestion was
acted upon, and after chase of nearly
three miles a big one was caught. Mr.. Stiff
also roped three antelope during the sum
mer He says that if the Cheyenne boys
will come out they can have plenty of
sport. Wolves are seen every day and there
would be no trouble in getting up chase
with hounds. He thinks some wolves may
be found about ten miles north of the P.O.

| The Indians Ability in Retreat ID
One of His Strongest Points.

The Indians Ability in Retreat is
One of His Strongest Points.
From the Chicago Herald.l
One of the problems of the soldier in
the west is to overtake the Indian when
that fellow wants to get away. Let a
band of Indians commit depreciation and
start to run, and it is one of the greatest
of difficulties to catch them. No one who
remembers the accounts of the Geronimo
band can forget the trials of the army
men who were sent to capture and punish
the redskins. Once they had reached the
mountains it was almost impossible to get
near them. They not only knew the land
thoroughly, but they could run SO rapidly
that you might have them safely located
in one place, bring your detachment up,
only to find they had gone, bag and bag
gage, hours and hours before. On a
straight chase it is almost equally impossi-
BILE to catch them. Even cavalry is use.
less against them. The human, after all,
is the better animal, and when an Indian
band ran in the lead of cavalry horses the
latte lost The only hope was in numbers
that could in time Surround and turn back
the line of retreat so often and at such un-
expected places that the Indian would sur
render more from confusion than from
fear.
It is no difficult thing for one of the
mountain Indians to run one hundred
| miles within ten hours. Couriers have
! carried messages for army officers in that
time very often. A single mile in three

The following suggestions to boys and
girls are from an instructor In the art OF
swimming; Never bathe alone If you can
avoid 1t. II you get the cramp, do no,
fight the water aimlessly. Try to throw
yourself on your back to float, kicking out
vigorously, as cramp may often be checked
In this fashion, and call for assistance. II
you go to the MD OF any one attacked by
cramp, keep clear Of them and do not let
them clutch you Assist them either by
towing them by the hair or by pushing
them in front of you, II possible.
Be careful not to swim out to sea with
out remembering that you will have as far
to swim back. Girls shoud never bathe
In n dress Of material which, when wet,
will cling round the limbsl Dry yourself
thoroughly after bathing, dress quickly
aud take q short, brisk walk TO restore per
feet circulation. When you get home,
bathe the face and hands in soft water to
prevent chapping.
Those who cannot swim should remem-
Der that In floating 1t is essential to throw
the head well back, to FL the chest full Of
air and to have the legs and feet close to-
Rether and under complete control. Ex-
tending the arms straight out on level
with the shoulders, palms up, Is good
plan also. To teach swimming or floating,
spot where the water shelves gradually
should be chosen, and the friend assisting
should stand about waist deep beside the
learner with hand placed firmly beneath
the pupils spine to afford rather moral
than actually physical support. When the
art Of floating has been acquired, you can
easily learn to swim with little instruc-
tion from friend who can swim, remem-
bering to keep the head and chin we'll up,
and to take long. even-not irregular or
durrted-strokes.

Of them have been written by Americans.
