and especially of an American writer

Harte was not a man OF any particular
reputation then. and 50 the owner did
not have anything definite on which 70
base his faith in the young fasteners
Judgment, but Harte was so cleancut
in manner. speech and thoughtIa dis
tinct contrast to the average man on
the coast in those days-that it did not
seem likely that he would make mis-
take on the side of propriety. So the
story was printed.
The East Saved Him.
It created q sensation in California.
and not the kind of sensation that
seemed likely to benefit the Overland
Monthly. Criticism Of il was free and
rabid. It was damned by every paper
in San Francisco and along the coast
Harte was discouraged. Ee began TO
think that his Judgment had been bad
after all and wondered if he had not
mistaken his vocation. IL took long
time then for paper 70 be printed IN
San Francisco, get east, attract atten-
ten. and. finally, for the printed evil
derces OF that attention TO get back to
San Francisco. But after a sufficient
period had elapsed for all this TO occur
Harte rot his reward for his frmness
in sticking ND for the merit Of his
story. The Luck of Roaring Camp"
had carried the east by storm. News
paper after newspaper came In, prais-
ing il in the waTnest terms, and the
climax was finally reached when the
mail brought letter from the very
biggest publishing frm IN Boston. sd
dressed TO the editor of the Overland
Monthly and asking him 10 tell the
author of The Luck of Roaring Camp
that the eastern publishing house
would be glad 20 accept anything he
might choose 30 send and at his own
terms After the coast saw how the
story had been received in the east it
revised its own Judgment OF it. and be-
fore long Herte was hailed, in the very
town which had Just condemned him,
as the literary Moses of the Golden
Gate.
His First Writing.
Bret Harte was born in Albany.
New York state can also claim the
honor of having been first to recognize
his talent, although he WIS not at that
time living within its confines. He
was eleven years old when he wrote
his first poem, in the most profound
secrecy, and mailed it TO the New
| York Atlas. 1t was named "Autumnsi
Musings" and he watched for its ap-
pearance With the most feverish ankle
ty. He wss afraid that it would not
be printed, SO he told no one of his
venture; but when, one day, he found
his poem in all the dignity of type
on the first page of the Atlas, he was
filed with q great JOY, which he wished
to cOnfide to every one. He rushed
home with the paper IN his hand and
showed it TO the members OF his fam
lily. The result was not what he ex-
pected. They didnot rejoice with him.
Their idea of a poet was inseparably
mixed with Impressions of beer, st.Eya-

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
Deep and Heartfelt Sorrow al tn
News of His Death.
New York Herald, Oct. 8

New York Herald, Oct s
AT million breakfast tables this
morning, wherever the English lam
guage is spoken, there will be felt
deep and heartfelt sorrow at the news
of the death of Oliver Wendell Holmes
which occurred at Boston last night.
Poet, physician. philosopher and
friend, the most tender and genial Of
"autocrats," he was loved by the peo-
pie of two continents as perhaps no
other American has been.
his life was originally devoted to
the study and practice of medicine,
and his pleasure was to alleviate the
ills of the body. But his broad SYM
pathy for his fellows led him to his
true mission, when from a healer of
bodily disease he became, as some one
happily expressed it, the ineXhaustible
signer of mental health and cheer.
"Other physicians may have done
more to assuage pain, but no other
medicine man. has shown such fac
ulty of radiating joy"
"He moved through London" said
some one describing his visit there in
1885, sslike an old picture that had
stepped out of it's frame to bring
book the life of beautiful past" To
Us, however, he was never a memory,
but beautiful living present, with a
sunny halo that fingered about him
till the end.
His genial wit, his gentle satire, his
delicate fancy and the beauty, purity
and healthful, elevating spirit that
permeated all he wrote in verse or
prose, gained for him the deep, rever-
emit affection of all. As poet he will
be given high position with Emer-
son, Lowell, Longfellow and Whittier
in the Walhalla Of American
worthless.

DECLARED CONsTITU rIONAL.
South Carolina's Dispensary Law-On-
ly Two Voted For It.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 9.-The decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the dis
pensary cases was filed last night.
Justices Pope and Gary declare the
law constitutional where Chief JUS
tice McIver dissents. This was not
unexpected. Justice Gary argues
generally that the regulation of the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor comes within the power of the
State and that the diSpenSary is such
regulation of traffic; that there is no
inherent right in any one to sell
liquor, and that being the case the
State has right to prohibit the sale
best for the general welfare. Justice
Pope assents to this finding which is
a long legal dissertation on the con-
StitutiOnality of the act.
Chief Justice McIver dissents and
reiterdtes generally the position taken
by him when the law was declared IN
constitutional last spring. The effect
of the decision will be that the gov
ernor will now begin an active war
fare against blind tigers which have
been fiourishing without much moles
tation since the act was declared I'M
constitutional What the saloonmen
will do is problematic. They have
meyer had any concert of action in
lighting the law in the courts, but
1T is more than likely that some kind
of a case will be gotten up, which will
finally land the question in the Su-
preme Court of the United States.

Words of Wisdom.

From Rams Horn.
Religion is like music; if we do not
use it we will lose it.
The man who would be a leader
must be the first to start.
There are some fish that the devil
can catch with bare hook.
A fool soon shows that he has an
empty head by the questions he asks.
Our size in heaven will depend upon
how much we weigh for God on
earth.
There are good sermons in stones
for the man who can read Gods
handwriting.
The moment we listen to doubt
we begin conversation with the
devil.
1t would bankrupt heaven for
angels to go in company that some
church pillars consider good.
Putting screens in the saloon doors
is one of the DEVILS ways of trying
to hide his cloven hoof.
