A Curious Gathering at the Out
laws Grave.

who de devils yer plantin' ?"
The speaker was a small boy, says the
Creede Chronicle, driving before him two
burros and dragging behind him pair of
tattered and ragged trousers which be had
picked up on the mesa.
"We're plantin' Bob Ford " said the man
on horseback, and then began to chant un-
der his breath the poem of DANNY Dee
ver," which somehow seemed to harmo-
nize with the surroundings. At the taber-
nacle there was an enormous crowd, which
completely surrounded the little church
"Charity covereth a multitude of sins, 4"
were the last words that Ford wrote before
he turned his face to the fatal shot They
headed a subscription to bury Nellie Rus
sell. "Charity cOVereth a multitude of
sins" were the first words the reporter
heard when ne worked his way into the
tabernacle. Every seat was taken.
1t was goOdly assemblage-a mixture Of
the godly and the ungodly-and they met
in this common place and prayed that the
charity which cOYereth sin might be meted
out to them when they, too, should 20 over
the crest of the great divide. Before us as
we rode stretched the winding trail over
the mountains, and below lay the black
and CHASTITY ruins Of the town. Justahead,
lying brown in the glare of the sunlight,
were the mounds which lie above the
bodies of Joe Simmons, Billy Wall and
Jessie Lester, and the others who found
a resting place at the end of a life
that was none too bright. A little white
fence around a baby's grave, glared in
startling contrast to the neutral cOlOrs.
As the horses toiled up the hill they
stopped at times to rest, and the mourners
braced the wheels with their feet lest their
carriages run backward. LO the end came
and at last we reached the grave. Around
1t were already gathered the people who
had walked up ahead. The pine box stood
upon its rests over a yawning hole. In a
minute the bearers had taken the walnut
casket from the wagon and placed it in the
outer covering, and as the undertaken
screwed down the cover the woman who
stood by Bob through thick and thin gave
pitiful little moan. Then the box grated
down the sides of the grave, and the voice
of the minister rose up in great silence,
reading from the verse which says; "But
now is Christ risen from the dead"
From their wagons coming down the hill
had come the miners in their shirt sleeves
and Overalls, and they stood with uncov-
cred heads and listened to the first prayer
they had heard in many days. So we
buried him there on the mesa and we all
came down to the town and each called for
his favOrite drink. Within fifteen minutes
after the clOds bad fallen into the grave the
roulette wheel and the bank which had for
the time been deserted, were again in
operation.
"Yes, that came king, seven you lose,"
and then turning to the lookout: "This
Teller gave US a good talk, didn't he? God
Almighty but this packs full of sevens."
And from the other side Of the room:
"Twenty-one, black, high, odd," in a
monotonous chant-and to player: Yes,
I'd like to have the opal Bob wore" SO
the day went by. And the tragedy was

THE NEW NAVAL VESSELS.
They Will Equal, II Not Surpass
Any ships of similar Type.


The two vessels for whose construction
proposals were issued Wednesday by the
navy department, will make an important
addition to our naval feet, and in armour,
armament and equipment THESE two pro-
posed ships will equal, if not surpass, any
ships of a similar type in existence Their
fighting powers will be Of the first order,
and their great speed will enable them to
run away from a ship superior to them in
fighting ability. Fully equipped and ready
for commission, the two ships proposed to
be built will cost in the neighbOrhOOd of
$8OC0,OO0 Congress, in the naval appro-
prlatlOn bill of the past session, authorized
the construction Of these vessels, but made
no appropriation for them.
The battle-ship will cost, exclusive of
armament nearly $4,000,000 and the arm.
ored cruiser about the same amount as her
prototype, the New York, or nearly $1,000,
600, exclusive of her armament. The plans
for the cruiser, which will probably be
named the Brooklyn, call for a vessel a
little longer than the New York. Other
wise her general dimensions will be about
the same. She will be about 400 feet long
on the load line, with Ga feet beam, % feet
draft 10000 indicated horse power, which
should be capable of sending her through
the water at a speed of twenty knots. Her
armament will consist of eight 8-inch
breech-loading rifles, twelve 5-inch breech-
loading rapid-fire rifles, and a strong aux
iliary battery Of Gattling guns, 6-pounders
and torpedo tubes. With her great coal
capacity it is thought she will be able to
have a steaming endurance Of 1900 miles
at ten-knot rate, against 1900 miles
for the New York.
The battle-ship will be 800 feet long, 4s
feet beam, "a feet draft, and will have IL,
600 horse power, which it is calculated
should develop 16% knots speed. Her
armament will consist of four twelve-inch
and six four-inch breech-loadlng rifles,
twenty six-pounders, and five one-pound
guns.
With the award of the contracts for these
vessels, every ship authorized by congress
in recent years either will have been con-
strueted or the contractors authorized to
begin work, if they have not already
started to work.-W ashington Post.

SIX People Killed by Bandits--Other
Grimes.


PANAMA, October 6.-Chilian advices say; ;
Vandalism, influenza, highway robbers and
railway disasters have now found suicide a
powerful ally in their destruction in Chill.
scarcely a day passes but a case Of self
murder is notreported, eitherat the capital
or at Valparaiso, while reports are con-
stantly reaching the city from the interior
of similar occurrences. A wholesale muir
der was committed at Uumaquina, in the
district of Tranguen, on the sixth, ult. A
bullock cart was returning to this town
with family, consisting Of six people,
when they were stopped by four bandits,
one Of whom demanded a light from Lean
dro lara. The latter took out box of
matches and was in the act Of passing il to
the bandit when he received a blow on the
head which killed him. The other bandits
followed up the attack and killed Rosario
Castro and Hortensia Jara. Another of
the family was severely injured, but con-
triyed to reach the bushes. The object Of
the horrible crime was to obtain possession
OF belongings of tliting value Of the vic
tins. The murderers have been captured. .

immeasurably superior in every respect. =

IN THE LAST SLEEP.
Lord Alfred Tennyson, the Poet,
is Dead.
AIgernOn Charles SwInburne VIII
Probably Succeed Him as Poet
Laureate of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES at
the Death BED.

the Death BED.
LONDON, October 6-Poet Tennyson died
at :35 O'Clock this morning. Since yester-
day afternoon it was evident to the physi-
clans that the end was only question Of a
few hours. The dying poet laureate grad
ually lost strength, failing and growing
feebler little by little, but painlessly, and
and finally the end came, peacefully as it
flowed from the life of passing soul.
Death came to him as he could have
wished it. There was no artificial light in
the room, only the mellow rays Of the au-
tumn moon lit up the chamber in which
the dying lay, and fell across the bed, bath
ing him in pure pellucid light, forming a
rembrandtesque background to the scene.
All was silent save the gentle soughing of
the wind through the trees around the
mansion, a fitting requiem for the poet,
who sang Of beauty of love and nature.
So quietly did his soul depart that the
members Of the family were not aware of
the fact till it was pronounced by the at
tendant physician. Once or twice during
the night he lifted his eyes to the faces Of
the watchers and peaceful smile played
over his features. Lady TennysOn, though
herself feeble, bore up well when informed
that all was over. There is a coincidence
in the fact that year ago today Charles
Stuart Parnell died. 1t is cOnjectured that
Gladstone will appoint Algernon Charles
Swinburne, poet laureate to succeed Ten
nysOn.
Alfred Tennyson, poet laureate of Eng
land, was born at SOmersby, a small ham
let Of Lincolnshire, on August G, 1809 and
was consequently SO years of age. He was
the third of seven sons in family of twelve
children. His early education was received
from his father, and he was afterwards sent
to Trinity College, at Cambridge, where. in
1929, he gained the chancellOrs medal for
poem entitled "Timbuctoo." On Nov. 21,
1850, after the death of Wordsworth, Ten.
nyson was appointed poet laureate. He
lived at various places, much Of the time in
London, till 1851, when he married Emily,
daughter Of Henry SellwoOd, and settled at
Harrington, Freshwater, Isle of Wight. He
had also a residence at Aldworth, Hasel-
mere, Lurrey, and is lord of the manors of
Grasby and PriOr's Freshwater.

CHICAGO, October 6.--The Illinois Ma
tional Guard will not participate in the
parade incident to the dedication of the
worlds fair buildings. Although the pres
ident of the United States or the vice presi-
dent will be the guest of Chicago. not a
single man of her citizen soldiers will turn
out to do him honor. The trouble arises
over the refusal of the state authorities and
the worlds fair directors to defray the
transportation expenses of the troops
which would amount to about sixteen
thousand dollars. The Chicago regiment
has refused TO turn out and there is nc
other regiment in the state which will
march with them. They believe Illinois
should either have the largest military
showing or none at all.
