Souvenirs of the Social.
The neck was not broken. The body
was cut down by Coroner Bendure. The
rope was cut up and divided among the
crowd around. Among the lynchers WAS
William Vest, husband OF the first woman
assaulted. Bush was born at Mason.
Miss, in 1860, so he said. His father and
a brother live there. lie came north three
or four months ago and has been doing
odd Jobs around Decatur about SIX weeks.
Monday, it is charged, he went to the
house of Mrs. B. Dill and committed an
assault on her. About IL o'clock Tuesday
morning Bush, il is alleged, went TO the
house OF William Vest, eight miles
from Decatur in Mt Zion township,
and, finding the woman alone, outraged
her in the presence OF her small children.
She only succeeded in escaping by prom
sing him money. News OF the crime
spread over the township and the farm-
ers dropped their work and turned out to
hunt the negro, who. however, kept In
the brush until he got about twenty-five
miles away. Then he came out and was
captured. He admitted being at Vests
house He denied outraging her. A
neighbor identified him as having been
near the west house. 1t was the first
lynching that ever occurred in Macon
county. The hundreds of people around
the scene today took it coolly, though
they condemned the deed. 1t is thought
there will not be any prosecution.

WHAT STUMP SPEECHES COST,

Campaign Orators Paid from One Hun
dred to One Thousand Dollars Week.
These are the palmy days Of the cam
paign orator, and to the number of
ever two thousand he is now being
heard throughout the land. Many Of
these speakers, according to the In
dianapolis News, are under the direc-
ton of the several state committees,
but the movements of large number
are controlled directly by the national
bodies. The members of the latter
class are nearly all mon Of national re-
pute, and their efforts are confined in
the main to the close and doubtful
states. Committeeman William Nj.
Hahn, of Ohio, directs the movements
of the speakers who labor under the
auspices Of the republican national
committee, and Committeeman Bradley
B. Smalley, of Vermont, those Of the
democratic speakers. Their task is
neither an easy nor a pleasant one.
Some orators decline to speak in small
towns and others of less extended
fame insist upon being scheduled for
speeches in New York and other large
cities. But both Hahn and Smalley are
very successful in smoothing over these
difficulties, in impressing the different
orators with the fields in which they
can do the most good, and in persuad-
ing them to accept the assignment for
which they have been scheduled.
Formerly the cost of stump speeches
was the largest item in bill of cam
paign expenses, but it is very different
now. The great majority of campaign
speakers, aside from their necessary ex-
penses, receive no recompense for their
services; those of the first class never
do. Mr.. Blaine has never been paid for

his speeches, ana the late Senator Conk-
ling not only refused pay for his
services in a campaign, but always in"
sisted upon paying his own expenses,
and was careful to take receipts there
for. Still there are quite number Of
attractive speakers who are not only
paid, but well paid, for their speeches.
Some receive one hundred dollars a
week and expenses, and very few as
high as one thousand dollars week.
There are not wanting those who make
a business Of campaign speaking and
have no other regular means of sup
port. One speaker, d well-known ex-
congressman, has been employed for
several years by the national commit
tee of his party at handsome annual
salary.

Molly sank with a long, deep, pitiful
groan upon the sofa. She hid her face
in her hands-she seemed to be praying.

With suddenness that startled him,
Molly sprang up.

Zach unbuttoned his jacket and drew
forth large envelope Of strong paper,
soiled and blackened by it's long and
rough passage on this honest breast,
and, placing it in Molly's hand, turned!
and hurried out of the stateroom.'
When the door closed, Molly threw her
self on her knees in front of the sofa
with this priceless packet clasped
against her bosom. Her hand seized
the stout Irvine, when mysterious
prompting caused her to hesitate. She
bowed her head until it rested full upon
the packet and there she remained, mo-.
tionless, for nearly an hour in deep and
comforting prayer. When she arose,
the tears had dried. She walked stead
lily across the stateroom, opened one Of
the trunks and hid the package deep in
the bottom.

My last interview with him was held five
years ago. was about to start on a

letters to his friend, Gov. Hubbard, our

when il was reported that he was alilict'

immortal, and the question as to the
character Of Gen. Stevenson was upper
