AFTER thirty-six years of con.
tinuous service in Congress, Senator
Henry L. Dawes OF Massachusetts,,
retired from public life on March
4th. When he left the House for
the Senate the House ceased to be
Republican, and now that he leaves
the Senate, the control of that body
passes into the hands OF the Demo
Gratis. The long period of his public
service indicates the eminence OF his
rank as Republican, and covers an
important as we'll as interesting
epoch in the political history OF the
country. In that period nine
Presidents of the United States have
taken the oath of office. The war
OF the Rebellion has been fought,
slavery has been abolished, the
country has grown from a popula
ton Of 100000 to a population OF
nearly 70, 900, 900, states have been
added to the Union and nearly all
the railroads in the country have
been built,

AS result he became one Of the most

match for the Squires learning and
brilliancy
Col. DYER was prominent. too, in mill

and the red men caused a great deal of
anxiety at times. Whenever the situa-

Squire Elderkin was very envious OF
the Colonel's popularity and made him
the butt of many a keen. piercing shaft
OF wit. The Colonel In time became very
sensitive to these wounds. and although
hatred was foreign to his nature he con-
ceived a thorough dislike for the Squire
and frequently made a sharp. singing
retort. The situation went on from bad
to worse. until finally there was many
a sharp encounter between the friends OF
the contending parties. The little town,
which had hitherto been blessed with
happiness and contentment, became a
factious, quarrelsome community.

A century and half ago Squire Elder
kin and Col. Dyer were the two most
prominent men OF windham, and were
well known throughout the State. Both
were lawyers, both were prominent in
pubic affairs, both were wealthy for the
times in which they lived. both had
large social followings. and both were
intensely jealous Of each other.
Squire Elderkin was a tall, lean. bill
ious-looking man. with heavy, raven
black hair and piercing dark eyes. He
was Of aristocratic lineage, and in man.
ner cold. selfish and ambitious. He was
a learned lawyer an able advocate and
a merciless wit. Few could give a more
rapier-like thrust than he-a thrust that
never failed to reach its mark and al
ways left a ranking wound and an ugly
scar.

PATHETIC SCENE N COURT.
Mrs Kennev Begs Her Husband
Not to Press His Complaint.
He Charges Her with Iatoxication
and She Denies It.

Mrs. Mary Kenney. n comely young
woman. and the mother Of a pretty
four-vear-oid daughter, created some
thing u sensation In jefferson Market
Police Court this morning.
Size was arrested by Policeman Ryan,
of the West Twentieth street station.
last night on the charge of being drunk
and creating a disturbance in Reillv's
concert hall, $50 Eighth avenue. where
her husband is employed as barkceper.
1t was he who made the complaint
and caused the arrest. When arrested
she had her little daughter with her
and both were taken to the West Thir-
tieth street station.
The child was taken to the Gerry
Socicty's rooms, and the mother was
locked up over night.
Policemen who were present when she
was brought into the station-house say
she was not intoxicated. The scene
when mother and child werr forcibly
parted was exceedingly affecting.
The husband appeared to press the
charge this morning He stood by APP
parently unaffected at the sight OF his
pretty young wife standing among the
prisoners.
When she was finally arraigned he
told the Justice that she annoyed him
so that life with her was uncomfortable.
He said that she threw chairs about
pin valued at slOo from his scarf. She
was addicted to drink, he said.
Mrs. kenney denied she was drunk or
that she was drunkard. and asked
the Judge If her appearance did not

The little girl twined her arms about
her mothers neck and wept with her
while the Justice was celebrating upon
his decision
"Oh. don't send me to prison, Ben"
she cried to her husband. and the scene
brought a suspicious moisture into the
eyes of even the old court officers, who
turned away sheepishly to hide their
faces
The husband. however, was obdurate
and refused to withdraw the complaint

WEEKS WILL CONE BACK,
District Nicoll Secs No Bar
to Extraditiop,

District-Attorney Nicoll said this
morning that SO far as he could see
there would now be no obstacle in the
way of the extradition of Francis H.
Weeks from Costa Rica.
There Is no possible future develop
ment in the case that / can see that
will prevent or retard the absconders
extradtion. He has, OF course. engaged
counsel. but I feel confident that upon
the, arrival Of Detectives Won Gerichten
and Reilly at Costa Rica they will get
possession of their prisoner at once
His return therefore. / think Is merely
a matter of time required to reach this
city,
1t was learned this morning that
Weeks left this city on Sunday morning.
April 80. He and his wife sailed on
the steamer Panama, of the Compania
Transatlantica Espanola. They were reg
istered AS y. II Watson and wife,
and travelled on a double ticket for
Carthagena. The ticket had been pur-
chased for them by friend.
In the light Of this news, 1t Is evident
that the sending of the trunks OF Mr..
and Mrs. Weeks to Plattsburg. was
merely trick to cover the flight OF
the fugitive.
