HIS BLASTED HOPES.
Romance of the Life of the Late
Alexander Mcdonald.
After Many Tribulations as an Artist
He Becomes Insane and
Dies Pauper.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. beside the mere an
nouncement of the death of Alexander
Mcdonald, artist, in the insane ward at
the poorhouse last Saturday night. there is
a story of more than usual pathos. 1t is a
tale of blasted hopas-of a man whose am
bltion scared to the skies. and whose
awakening to his own incapacty drove
him to the madhouse.
Alexander Mcdonald was born in Edin-
burgh. Scotland. forty-eight years ago.
and was a graduate of the famous College
st. Marks. His father, himself a minister
of the Church of England, had designed
his boy for holy orders also. and to that
end the young man took course in theol-
ogy. But it soon became evident that his
head was not IN his studies. He preferred
trestises on art to memoriZlng articles OF
faith. Hs laid aside his churchly tones.
and for three yerrs worked under the
tutelage of London artist. At the end of
that period he had become fairly proficient,
and aware Of the struggles of an unknown
painter among so many Of Acknowledged
ability he determined to fOrsake his native
land and remove to America.
Somewhat discouraged by the lack of in
L
mined TO come West. About that time a
party of gentlemen interested in the trans
continental railroads then being consid-
cred was made up to go across tie coun.
try to San Francisco. and young Melon
aid was employed to go with them in his
artistic capacity. Mcdonald stayed few
years in the Pacific Coast metropolis,
where he developed and disposed of a
numb of the sketches he had made on the
overland journey, and then he again
turned his face toward the East. But he
never got any farther than llliro is, where
his funds having become exhausted, he
was forced to paint pictures for the art
exhibit of a country fair.
About this time he married and got
down to painting signs and doing such
other work with his brush as would gain
him living. he cherished the desire to
go to Paris and take a few years. course
under the masters there. To raise money
for the trip he invented combined plow
and harrow which he found no sale for.
This left him to full realization that there
was nothing for him to do but to plod on
as before.
He lost his reason as a result and was
| incarcerated in an asylum, from which he
was released after some years cured, as
was supposed. After struggle for exist
ence his mania returned, and he and his
| family in the meantime having removed
to st. Louis. being without funds and i'll,
be was placed In the insane ward of the
| poorhouse, where he dice. His family
was penniless at the time of his demise,
and the body OF Alexander Mcdonald,
artist, inventor and dreamer of great
| dreams, lies to-day in the potter's field.

NOBODY CAN WORK.
Omaha Butchers Defy the Packing
House Men.

OMAHA, Nebr., Aug. The situation
at South Omaha is more serious tonight
than at any time since the strike began,
and Adjutant-General Gage is closely
watching the maneuvers of the angry
strikers. All the packing houses are sur
rounded by strikers, most of whom are
armed. and all desiring to enter the plants
must satisfy the guards of strikers, who
are located every ten yards. The trade in
revolvers has been rushing here for the
last week. Permits have been issued to
many of the men to carry guns, and each
day the situation grows more serious.
1--WE must have better police protec-
tion." said Manager Cudahy. 1.-THE men
who want to work are assaulted both
going and coming from home. We ought
to have at least 200 specials for a while
until the excitement abates."
a Frenchman who was anxious to 60
back to work, but was afraid he would be
assaulted if he did, rigged himself out in a
novel way and passed through the picket
lines without being detected. He dressed
himself in one of his wife's gowns, and
accompanied by her the pair walked into
the plant without any questions being
asked. The Frenchman is now at work,
but he does not 60 home in the evening.
Anthony Franks. a man employed at
Cudahy's, was pursued by strikers this
evening and fired at five times.
The executive committee of the strikers
disclaims any knowledge of an assault COM
mitted by the union men. They claim tn at
all the men who are out are given strict
orders not to create any disturbance what
ever. The committee has chosen fifteen
citizens and will ask Mayor johnson to
swear them in as special policemen. The
police also petitloned the Mayor and Coun-
Gil not to employ any men as specials who
do not live in the city. The packers still
claim that many more of their old men
want to come back TO work, but are afraid
to do so for fear they will be assaulted.
The strikers claim that none of the old
men have gone back to work, but that on
the other hand several more of the men
came out yesterday because they would
not work for 81 so day. The strikers
appear to be more bold than at first in
their assertions. The butchers are espe
ciaIly positive OF winning and many o.
them declare openly that if they do VIII
the packers will regret it. There have al
vet been no acts OF violence committed
