AN EPISODE OF TRAVEL.
CHAPTER I.


Once upon a time, which was q
O'Clock yesterday morning, there was
a remarkable concatenation of circum-
stances. The sun was rising in the
east and the union depot was crowded
with people going west. Train No.
A gave shrlll whistle, which indi
Gated that there was no more time to
spend in farewells, and after kissing
each other good bye the passengers
took their seats in the car and waited
for results.
There Wer9 three persons in the
carriage next to the smoking car who
would have attracted the attention OF
any extraordinary observer. One was
a green country fellow who,moved I'M
easily and sat ungracefully in his seat.
There was no doubt that he was
fresh from the plow, and he carried
about with him the peculiar but not
unpleasant odor that the husbandman
Invariably receives from mother earth.
He was the observed of all observers,
but especially Of two observers on the
other side Of the aisle-the other two

one of them said:

exclaimed the other, manifesting a

Both men became excited.
CHAPTER II.
The train was rushing through a
leafy dell at rate that fairly took
away the breath of the excited travel
ers, and afforded them no opportunity
of admirlug the beauties Of the pictur
esque country through which they
were passing, if they had been inclin-
ed to do 50. The songs of the birds
were drowned by the rattle of the
cars; the wild flowers which enameled
the earth looked like white nebulae in
the distance, and for the first time III
the history of railroading the tele-
graph poles skirting the railroad
track really did present the appear
ance of board fence, so completely
did the engineer annihilate space with
steam.
While science was effecting this
phenomenon, which has often been,al
luded to in jest before, the two excit-
ed travellers turned their eyes upon
the countryman. He had in his hand
a big roll Of greenbacks, which he dis
played in a reckless manner.
He counted them over several times,
and it was plain thet many of them
were of large denomination.
"Well heeled," said one of the trav-
elers on the other side of the aisle.
You bet" answered the other.
If he flashes his money in that way
he'll get robbed" suggested Traveller
No. l.

And what?" asked his companion.
Send his money home after we've
won it,
There was a sigh from one traveller
and wink from the other, and they
both cried agreed"

CHAPTER LII.

1t was an easy thing for them to
get the conductor to turn down the
seat opposite the green cOuntryman,
and they knew it would be an easy
thing to turn down the cOuntryman if
he consented to play cards with them.
They took their seats opposite the
countryman and opened up conyer-
satiOn:
''Traveling far?''
'Pretty far said the countryman.
What time do you get there?"
'To-mOrrow morning"
Ever play cards?'
Used to play on the farm some
times"
Any particular game?"
Poker"
Like to play now?"
Don't mind little game to pass
away the time," remarked the coun-
tryman with yawn.
CHAPTER ".
One Of the two travellers produced
a deck of cards. The conntryman
picked up the cards and shutfied them
awkwardly. 1t was a small game;
quarter ante. no limit.
'Pudden,' whispered one of the
/ travellers laconically.
You bet" hoarsely murmnred his
/ friend.
The countryman was looking at bis
hand and did not notice this exchange
/ of views.
On the first hand he dropped 81
and on the second he dropped So
Then the game went along steadily
for while. At last the countrymar
picked mp a hand which made hin
very nervous. The tray elers both haC
good hands. and they looked mys
teriously at each other The betting
began to grow heavy for the travellers
The countryman seemed to have nerve
Fortune no doubt smiled upon him
There was a large sum on the table
The travellers laid down. The coun
tryman won $40. He only had pal
of deuces.

complished poker players, and it wa
mortifying to be beaten by felloy
that did not know anything about th
game.

FRANK HATTON is DEAD.

The Well-Known Editor and Politician
Succumbs to Paralysis
WAsIuNGToN, May Frank Hatton is
dead. The end came yesterday afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock, after Il relapse which began
yesterday morning and the end of which
was inevitable. Last Tuesday afternoon
Mr. llatton, who apparently had been in
good health, was suddenly stricken by para
lysis while working alone at his desk.
With great difficulty, for his speech was
impaired by the attack, he succeeded in
summoning assistance and was ut once re-
moved to his home. The gravity of his
case was fully realized by his friends, but
some intervals of consciousness and signs
of rallying, eTen as late rs Sunday, gave
hope that he might still recover.
But his physicians held out little en-
enlargement and looked for the worst
The last fatal change was manifest yes
terday morning when the dread symptoms
of Bright's disease appeared. The virus
spread rapidly and soon reached the heart.
There was no pain, because the faculties
were deadened by the destroying agent,
and at 4;30 o'clock, unconscious of the
presence of his wife and son, and in spite
of all that medical aid could accomplish,
Mr. Hattou expired.
The details of the funeral arrangements
have not yet been fully completed, but it
Is decided that the interment will be in
Rock Greek cemetery on Thursday. At
the deathbed were Mrs Hatton, Mr.. Rich
nrd Hatton (the only child, Mr.. and Mrs.
Beriah Wilkins, Mr.. John d. O'Connor,
Mr. Hattons confidential secretary; DR..
Sewers, the attending physician, and the
trained nurse.
Frank Hatton was born in Cambridge,
o., April IS, 1916 At the outbreak of the
war of the rebellion he enlisted in the
Ninety eighth Ohio infantry and in 1864
was commissioned first lieutenant. When
the war come to close Mr. Hatton in the
town of Mount Pleasant, Ia, edited The
Journal from 1869 to 1874, and then re-
moved to Burlington, Ia, where he pur-
chased controlling interest in The
Hawkeye, his partner being Robert j,
Burdctte the humorst.
Mr.. latton's first federal office was that
of postmaster ut Burlington, for some
years prior to lsSl, when President Arthur
appointed him assistant postmaster gen
eral. In that capacity he served from
October, 1881, until October 1854, when
the retirement of Judge Gresham from the
office of postmaster general brought Mr..
Hatton's promotion to Il seat i'll the cabi-

Mounted police were forcing their horses

THAT INTERVIEW WITH CRISP.
What tho Speaker of the House Told tho
Leader of the Commonwea,.


The details of Coxey's interview with
Speaker Crisp have just come out. When
asked to set aside the Capitol ground
regulations Crisp said he doubted his
authority to do so, but if he had authori-
ty he would not exercise it, and asked:
"What reasons have you to offer in sup
port of your request to have the operation
of the law suspended?' CoXey asserted
that they came here to represent millions
of unemployed and starving people.
''Then, what is your purpose. What do
you intend to dor" Coxey said that they
came in the name of the people to demand
legislation for their relief and then entered
into II long statement about his being the
representative of the people.
"llow are you the representative of the
people," the speaker retorted. ''By what
authority do you undertake to represent
65W0,000 of people of this country
The peoples representatives are the 3G5
representatives elected to congress and
vested with authority under the provisions
of our government" Coxey objected that
congress did not represent the people
"Then," said the speaker, "your remedy
is Mt the ballot-boX. Under our system of
government the government itself is the
people, subject to frequent changes when
the people Indicate Mt the ballot-boX that
they want change. You appear to be II
self constituted representative of the peo-
plc,"
Coxey replied that the appeal to the bal
lot box was too slow, that the relief de-
manded must be had Mt once. 'Do you
expect to coerce congressP In what respect
is your method of petition better than the
old method which is being constantly
awaited of by the peopleY" CoXey held
that written petitions were never regarded
by congress and that he thought his
method would compel consideration.
"Do you expect to intimidate congress?
Do you think that you can brighten any
representative into voting against his CON
yictionsW
CoNey said the people could not wait to
elect men to congress and must have re-
lief even if it were secured through revolu-
ton, and persisted that his army had Il
right to assemble on the Capitol grounds.
The speaker said he would not grant the
permission; il granted once there would
be no end tn it; that the proposed method
of petition meant an attempt at intimida-
ton or it meant nothing, and that if the
theory of public ownership was to be ac-
ccpted rs giving any assemblasse the right
to take possession of or occupy govern
mcnt property II would apply to the treas
ury and its vaults as we'll.

Meantime I1rownc and Jones were taken
to the station and put in adjoining cells
charged with disorderly conduct. Browne
refused to say anything "uutil hear from

similar statement. Browne secured an
attorney, Mr. Hymar, who said regarding
She line Of defense: I'VE will not only de-
Iend, but we may also adopt affirmative
action through the courts. The first thing
will be to defend the prisoners against the
charge that they unlawfully entered they

in the Capitol grounds, and we will take
that law to the courts of last resort Then

Late in the afternoon Brownies bail
was fixed ut $500, and Mrs Emily Briggs,

it is doubtful if any effort will be made

satisfied with what had transpired. When
CoXey got back to his carriage in charge
of the police after his attempt to speak
from the Capitol steps the excited crowd
closed around the white stallion on which
his daughter rode and thrust up their
