Died, in Denver, Colorado, on Friday, May
18TH Frank s. JENNIE, age abous "a
years.
= The deceased leaves wife and
two small children and brother in
Weiser, and number of relatives in
the East, to mourn him. His re-
mains were taken from Denver, to
New London, Ohio, where they will
be inferred today. New London was
Franks birthplace and after distant
wanderings his remains return
there to seek their final resting place.
Frank came to Weiser about seven
years ago and for time was principal
of the Weiser public school. He
afterward engaged in the livery and
transfer business and in brickmaking.
He was appointed by Gov. Willy
as Warden of the Idaho penitenti-
airy, to succeed W. 8. Mack, which
position he ably filed for a short
term, his health beginning to fail
about the time he resigned. Frank
JENNIE was one Of Natures true noble
men, true friend and kind neigh
Dor. He had a broad generous
soul and an honest open heart. He
had those square, upright and sympa-
thetic principles of integrity which
win the friendship of men, ant
friends he had by the score, while
enemies he had none. We believe h
never wronged any man. The mem
DRY of Frank JENNIE will be cherished
by all who knew him. He was
Mason in good standing and was tn
first master of the Weiscr Lodge
His life was insured for Is, DOC.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.-A special from
Norton, Va, to the Bristol Courier says:
"a bad affair occurred at Coeburn Fri
day morning. A. NJ. Rogers, formerly
of Big Stone Gap, but now travelling
salesman for Chicago wholesale shoe
house, engaged in play with two little
daughters of G.. d. Retter, depot agent
at that place He lured the unsuspect-
ing children to his room in the Alder
son hotel, promising each of them
pair of beautiful slippers from among
his samples. The children Immediate
ly upon leaving the room informed
their father that Rogers had been
guilty of gross misconduct toward the
older one, conduct which borders clear
ly on an outrage The fathers first
impulse was to kill Rogers outright,
but upon reflection he went to Rogers
room, dragged him out into the yard
and severely horse whipped him in the
presence of an excited crowd, some of
whom Joined in with kicks, breaking
two of his ribs and infiicting many
other painful wounds. He lies in
helpless condition at the residence of
Green Carrico near Coeburn. He has
heretofore been regarded as respect
able gentleman. Many who know him
we'll think he is partially insane.
Whether he is guilty or innocent, sane
or insane, the occurrence is bad in the
extreme and makes the blood curdle in
the veins"

Miss Lille Lawrence.

The comedy stock company at one of
the Washington theatres has been
source Of pleasure to Alexandrians this
summer and more than usual interest
has been taken in the leading lady,
Miss Lillian Lawrence, for the reason
that she is an Alexandrian by birth.
She first saw the light Of day on King
street in house which has recently
succumbed to the march of improve
ment, just % years ago, and when two
years old left for California with her
parents. At the age Of Is she began
her stage career, making an imme-
date hit. She has always believed firm
" in the efficacy of the number Is for
good, instead of bad luck. Her re-
markable success in everything she I'M
dertakes upsets the Is superstition.
She always endeavors to secure room
number Is in hotels and theatres and
prefers to travel with parties of that
number. She attributes the sue
cess of her present comedy sea-
son to the fact that there were
IS members of the company on the
train coming from New York to Wash
ington and they arrived on Friday.
Miss Lawrence knocks another favorite
superstition on the head by beginning
every new venture on Friday when
possible.
The many accomplishments possess
ed by Miss Lawrence have been great
help to her in her stage career as well
as a source of recreation. As SWIM
mer she can hold her own with the best.
and as a rifle shot she has few equals,
having won several prizes for marks
manship in California. She inherits
exceptional musical ability from her
father, her debut being made in
opera. That was at the Bush Street
Theatre, in San Francisco, with the
very successful Emily Melville Opera
Company, and before deserving the
lyric for the dramatic stage she sang in
and became very familiar with over
twenty-five operas.
She has been leading lady for Madame
Rhca, Kate Claxton and Chas. Froh-
mans companies. She has essayed
over three hundred dramatic speaking
parts, which have given her varied
experience that few have had at her
age and which show her wonderful YER
satility. She is clever in everything
she undertakes and has made herself
extremely popular during her stay in
Washington both with her audiences
and in society, having had to name
Fridays as public reception days and
her apartments at the Randall Hotel
are crowded as regularly as the day
comes round. She has pleasing man
ners, fine presence, wealth of the
most beautiful golden hair and a spir-
ituelle face. She is passionately in
love with her profession and has been
since childhood. 1t is thought that
Miss Florence will visit her old home
before leaving Washington.

THE DARK HoRsE.-The Richmond

The DARK HoRsE.-The Richmond
correspondent ofthe Petersburg appeal
says: among the politicians generally
one hears the prediction often that il
O'Ferrall is not the nominee it will not
be Tyler or Buford but a dark horse.
They base their prophecy upon the as
sumption that the fight is going to be
so bitter, the delegates favoring one
person will not 60 to another who has
been actively engaged in the contest.
Really it does appear somewhat as if it
might not be bad year for dark
horses, for surely there is as good gu
bernatorial timber in the bark as out of
it. Now as to the dark horses Mr..
Kent, Of Wythe, is standing on the
edge of the woods viewing the open
field and so is Mr.. Corbin, of King
George. Hon. z. c. Venable and
Mayor Ellyson are both regarded as
excellent men to head the ticket and
in the event of deadlock they will not
lack friends in the convention. Both
are for O'Ferrall and presumably as
long as the congressman has ghost of
show they will not allow themselves
to be doomed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July II.

w ASHlNGION, ~. W, Jul II.
The superintendent of immigration
has directed the deporting of Joseph
Holzhauer, native ofAustria, afflicted
with fayus, and Calogero Castronovo.
Holzhauer resided in this country
for several years before returning
to Austria a few months ago to make
arrangements for bringing his family to
America. His return is ordered on the
ground that he may become public
chaee. His wife and family are now on
their way here. Castronovo came to
America in response to a letter from his
brother-in-law, stating that work had
been secured for him. This is consid-
cred n violation of the contract labor
law. -,
News of the Siamese French trouble
was received at the State Department
to-day from Mr.. Boyd, Z. S. Consul at
Bangkok, as follows: Everything

MONDAY EVENING. JULY l., 1893

LESS THAN FIVE months ago President
Cleveland publicly stated that "the
support of the government furnishes
the only justification for taxing the
people" What he said was the truth,
and all the people except the ignorant,
the prejudiced and the self-interested,
not only know, but concede that he did;
and they wonder why it is that five
months will have gone by before even
an opportunity will be afforded to at
tempt to reform the tariff, and why, as
Mr.. Bland says, though an extra ses-
sion of Congress has now been called, the
tariff is spoken of with baited breath
Taxes are now laid to kill State banks,
to prevent the manufacture OF cheap
and wholesome articles OF food, to
make market for the product of the
silver niue owners, TO give bountles to
sugar makers, and to increase the profits
of trusts and Of the proprietors OF min
ing and manufacturing industries
though the control Of the government,
for nearly five months, has been in the
hands of the party that came into
power solely by means of its solemn
promise to reform the tariff as soon as
possible.

THE POPE TO LIVE LoNG.-The ply
sician to the Pope is quoted as saying
that Leo will live beyond 80 and that
his health is all that can be desired.
Considering how well he bore the fatigues of
many ceremonies during the spring there is
no cause for the least apprehension. He add
ed II have not observed up till now any
hardening of the arteries, and this is the best
prognosis."
1t is reported that sharp falling off of
Peters pence greatly preyed upon the Pope's
mind. The collections have diminished near
" 80 per cent in the past 10 years. Each
collection taken in every principal church
festival in 1892 yielded $4,000 to 10000
francs-the last one hardly 10000.
Some Of the reasons advanced in Rome are
interesting. Visiting pilgrims are astounded
at the unparalleled wealth and splendors Of the
Vatican and ugly rumors often circulate of
specnlations with Peters pence. Perhaps the
strongest reason is Leo Kills refusal to hand
over his jubilee gifts to the Vatican collec-
lions or the treasury.

THE New York Press says the South
needs a protective tariff to make her as
prosperous as the North is. Why GER
tainly The South has had the same
sort of tariff that the North has had for
the last twenty-eight years; but under 1t,
while the North has grown richer, she
has grown poorer, and that, too, though
her natural facilities for manufacturing
greatly exceed those of the North. a
more correct statement would be that
the South needs free trade in order to
be prosperous; free trade, in order that
she may sell her agricultural products
in the dearest markets, and also that
the rivals of her manufacturers in the
less favored North may not, by means
of protection, be enabled to carry on
profitable business even in spite of the
natural disadvantages against which
they have to contend.

q month ago, the official announcement

THE most glaring piece of ridiculous
efIrontery that has recently appeared is
that presented by the two men now in
the penitentiary of Pennsylvania, on
their own confession, forpoisoning nom
union men at Homestead, who make
the barefaced assertion that their con-
fession was false, and that they delib-
erately swore away their own liberty.
Men can be bribed to do almost any

for the purpose of depriving another
