vviggie when Phoebe threw open the
door, then turned and busted herself
at the fireplace, raking out the Goals
and smoothing the ashes as though
preparing for the midday meal
AlOnzo came slowly along, glancing
sharply at the smooth ash strewn
yard to detect any tracks other than
those belonging to his wife. the inn
print Of whose foot he knew quite
we'll
Surely he was not mistaken. There
was the imprint of pair of shutting
feet wearing unlike shoes, the owner
of which carried cane or some sort
Of stick, as the imprint Of the ferrule
plainly showed
Then there was another pair Of
tracks, big. confident footprints, turn
ing in from the road and boldly tramp
ing to the cottage door
Oats what I bin 1ookin' fur"
Alonzo muttered to himself Tracks
gwine, but no tracks comm Huhi''
He appeared suddenly in the door
and glanced quickly about the cabin,
blank look Of disappointment re-
placing the eager look of certainty on
his angry countenance.
Phoebe never moved from before
the hearth he came forward, but
she turned her face, smiling as she
asked:
Furgit somethin'?"
AlOnzO never answered. Throwing
himself into a chair he asked sudden
". ''Who bin here?'
''Ol Betty, de soap oman"
*'Who else?" Phoebe hesitated. turn
ing instinctively to the baskets.
Nobody. What mex yuh low who
bin yere9''
''Nuthin' I low sec some body"
Phoebe began to laugh, but her
mirth died quickly as the basket gave
an Ominous groan. She started and
glanced toward it in alarm, but Alon-
20 had noticed nothing.
Unfortunately for the concealed
bandman, black wasp had seen fit
to bore his nest in the wall directly
over the basket, and at this juncture
he came with trailing legs buzzing
about the bandman's crouching head.
The crOuchinR negro in the basket
tried to keep still as the black wasp
buzzed nearer and nearer his up
turned face. At last the wasp mar
rowing down to his hole became too
much for his victim in the basket,
who. between the sometimes deadly
sting Of the insect and the anger Of a
jealous husband, chose the lesser
evil Of the two. hitting out wildly at
the buzzing insect
Under the sudden strain the basket
lurched wildly, there was a great
squeaking and swapping, a sound of
tearing and scram bling. Phoebe
looked around in agony just in time
to see the basket and its stout rim
part company, and to see the big
bandman roll IN dusty, cotton fecked
heap at her feet. Scarcely waiting to
gather himself together he was up
and away, running like the wind
through growing cotton and corn. and
for many days he lay hid where Alon-
zo's vignant efforts failed to locate
him.
AS for Phoebe her ashland admin
istered to her the customary martial
reproof in the form of a severe whip
ping, the results of which served her
as a reminder of err misconduct for
many days
Then things settled into a natural
groove, and Phoebe forgot her pen
chant for an old time flame. Now
there is nowhere a more contented
wife than she. nor a happier, more
industrious hush band than Alonzo.

The Ebenezer Knight Dexter
Statue Unveiled Today.
Exercises on the Training Ground
Description OF the Statue.

Through the liberality and public spirit
ofone OF its prominent citizens, the city
entered into possession today of a bronze
memorial Of Ebenezer KING ht Dexter, w no,
by his munificent public benefactions for
the permanent benefit OF the poor of his
native town, won its enduring graft
tude. 1t adorns that spacious plain which
ne pequeathed to perpetual use as train
Ing held, and mutely emphasizes the inn
pressive sermon OF the value OF public
service and benevolence devoted to the
city welfare. IL Is a worthy companion
TO the stately and picturesque figures
OF Roger Williams, Ambro T.. Burnside
and Thomas A. Doyle which adorn the
public squares and the beautiful park
which is the peoples pleasure resort.
Ex-Alderman Henry G. Clark, the donor
of the statue, has always taken a deep
interest In the preservation and the en-
bellishment of Dexter Training Field.
About year ago, when the Worlds COL
umblan celebration was in its height.
Mr.. Clark made a proposition to the City
Councll whereby he guaranteed to present
the city with q bronze statue OF
columbus. The matter was referred to a
committee, and subsequently after con-
sultatlon with Mr.. Clark, he decided that
the city had no suitable memorial of
Ebenezer Knight Dexter, and made the
same munificent offer. He entered into a
contract with the Gorham Manufacturing
Company, and in the selection of the
model a painting was obtained in the
possession OF the Dexter Asylum
and valuable portion OF that
Institutions inheritance from its
benefactor. Only the head and
and bust OF the original were presented
but the Continental costume OF the period
was reproduced and to assist in realism,

BAN FRANCISCO, June 30 9-General Man
6ger Towne of the Southern Pacific has
received the following telegram from
President &. T.. Huntington, from New
York:
"We feel quite sure that after second
sober thought our men will not leave us,
- the Pullman Company has very little
interest in the cars on the
Sou.hern Pacific and the tying-up
&c fUhe road would injure US and disco M
mode the general public. 1 feel sure that
they do not wish TO take control OF the
Southern Pacific Company, as they would
be doing il we gave them what they asked
for.
az wish you would call the men to-
ESyhsr as far as you can and explain to
them our views, and after discussing a
r0ficient time ii they do not then accede
30 our request but leave work you
v1l get other men to take their places il
possible, and not let the trains stand as
they are.
"The question of what cars should run
- one that rests with the owners of the
property, for ownership must carry con-
ysci. You know how much / desire
- protect all wage workers, but this
matter between Pullman and his en-
ployees is something 1 do not know any
thing about, and il should not be used by

yesterday, that III the men after full dis
cussion refuse to work | wish you would
discharge them and let them understand
ttat they will never be employed again by
the Southern Pacific Company.
lSigned1 &. II. HUNTINGTON"
Upon receipt of President Hunting
tons message, Vice President and Gem
Sral Manager Towne issued a bulletin to
.l employees OF the Southern Pacific Com
pany calling their attention TO the fact
That they would be doing g-eat injustice

patrons by contesting TO observe the in

way Union, seventy-fve per cent

bulletin appealed TO the men To stand

as heretofore, and IL they do not comply,
ii is thought that Mr.. Huntington's in
structions will be put into effect.

THE DEXTER STATUE.

Dexter was incorporated into the design
as valuable relic and souvenir.
There were some legal technicali-
ties involved in the city's accept
ance of the gift and and compliance with
the provisions which involved its APP
preparation of $4,000 for the purchase of a
pedestal and Improvement OF the field.
The General Assembly, however, gave the
city authority to perform its share in the
erection of the memorial, the contracts
were awarded and the WORK has been Wig
orousy prosecuted. The cost OF the
statue was nearly 5000, and it has been
pronounced an admirable and accurate
portraiture of the great philanthropist.
The statue is a handsome bronze figure
eight feet in height, and standing upon a
granite pedestal nine feet high. Dexter
Is represented in tho old time conti-
mental costume; in his left hand
is the staff and in his right partially
opeued scroll OF parchment. There are
inscriptions on two faces of the pedestal:
Presented TO the citizens OF Providence
by Henry &. Clark, Esq. in honor OF Eben-
ezer Knight Dexter, who gave this prop
erty for the benefit Of the public and the
homeless"

The exercises opened with an overture
by the American Band followed by prayer
by Rev. Edward Holyoke, pastor of the

he has no contemporary living TO per-
form the service, we shall have recourse
to history.
Ebenezer knight Dexter, son OF Knight
and Phebe (liarris) Dexter, was born in

he engaged in mercantile pursuits and
pursued his business with such in

OF the American Railway Union, and $50
neers made bold move by stating their
intention Of taking through Northern
Pacific trains from Tacoma to st. Paul.
They said the union men at Helena and
other places had make mistake in
striking, and as the Northern Pacific
owned half interest in the Pullman cars,
the strikers were simply hurting their
own employment. A heated discussion
ensued, the telegraphers faSoring the
strike. They were voted down and the

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

Much disappointment has been expressed
among northern members of Congress be-
cause no northern Democrat was placed on
the conference committee. In making the
selection Speaker Crisp followed the usual
custom Of naming the first four Democrats OF
the Ways and Means Committee, but as they
were from southern states it would have
been prudent as well as polite to have Sc
lected at least one northern Democrat to as

Democratic members of the Ways and Means
Committee, and any OF them would have dis
charged his duty as conferee to the salts
70 'tion of the House and the country.
1t is reported that Speaker Crisp consulted
the President Friday evening concerning the
appointment of the House conferees, and it is
siic 10 presume that Mr.. Cleveland approved
the selection made by Speaker Crisp, II in
deed he did not recommend it.
IT is further reported that President Cleve-
land insisted that the House conferees shall
contest every schedule, and as far as possible
restore the Wilson bill, which was more salts
factory as reform measure. The assertion
that the conference committee will be kept
in session until that result is reached is pro-
badly not true, inasmuch as q congressional
campaign is approaching and members must
take part in it If they expect reelection.
The Washington times., 1894-07-08

Eugene v Debs, president of the American
Railway Union. and J. R. Sovereign, Grand
Master Workman of the Knights OF Labor,
have made mistake in addressing their ap-
peal to President Cleveland and allowing it
to be published.
This appeal should be made to the rioters OF
Chicago, who are doing more by their acts OF
violence TO discreditthe cause OF labor in the
estimation of the public than can be made
good in years of careful, painstaking explana-
tion. President Cleveland has de-
fined his position on the strike
question. and words. appeals. persuasion and
argument are worse than wasted when ad-
dressed TO him.
The pledges made in the Cleveland appeal
must be faithfully carried ont if Messrs. Debs
and Sovereign command respect as labor lead
ers Their utterances and predictions as to
the future Of this country will be forgiven if
they bring about q cessation of mob violence
by wise and timely advice to their followers.
What the public wants now in this time Of
emergency is peace and good order, and
Messrs. Debs and Sovereign should cease let
ter writing and talk business to the rioters OF
Chicago
