with the SHOWS of Y years, her face is
scanned with the burrows OF time, but
her carriage is erect, her step is light
and her eye lustrous.
She was born in Adams county, MIS-
sissippi, in 1893. The first chapter of the
romance of her life began in the slave
market of YaZoo, Miss, when she was
II years old. A young clerk, John H.
nent Virginia family, saw her there and
fell in love with her. He made a VOW
that he would secure her freedom ana
then marry her He had no money with
which to buy her freedom, but set about
to earn and save it. 1t took him seven
wears to do it, but was true TO his dark
skinned sweetheart, who in the mean
time had been sold to new master ana
there and in 1S4S paid s1,OO0 to her mas
ter, brought her to Cincinnati, where he
gave her liberty, and, it is alleged, made
her his wife. They returned 10 1azoo'
where he continued in business,
Shortly after moving from this place,
she made the acquaintance of Henry
Laurence, a young Englishman, dem
fist. who became a frequent visitor at
ist. and later left Yazoo and came to-
live in Chicago. Just before the war
broke out Evans and his wife went to
live in New Orleans. In 1861 they re-
ceived a letter from Laurence, who was
not prospecting in Chicago, and he was
advised by them to move to New Or
leans. which he did. The Evans couple
conducted a fashionable boarding house
on Canal street in that city, and WINCH
was a rendezvous for politicians OF the
time. In 1860 Evans died. Dr. Laurence
was living with them, and ne 1el III
love with the widow.
The Other Epoch.
Two years after the death of Evans;
there came another epoch in the life OF
the Mississippi slave, from thence she
called herself the wife of DR.. Renry
Laurence. Whether she was is the ques-
ton that will be determined by the
court in the trial to be begun TO-DAY.
She claims it was only common law
marriage by which they consented TO
live together as man and VIE untll
death parted, and this contract, she
saws. was faithfully carried out by them
both. For twenty-five years, She says;
she was a wife to Henry Laurence, ana
closed his eyes when death finally sep
arated them The couple came TO I'VE
in Chicago in 1877, in house which Dr.
Laurence bought.
The defense to the suit is that the
former slave was not the wife or DR..
laurence, but his servant, and that no
marriage contract existed between them

IN all the states where the Democrats
declared for the gold standard, the party
was defeated. The defeat included not
only the doubtful states but the hitherto
reliable Democratic states of Kentucky,
Maryland and New Jersey. In the one
state Mississippi, where the platform de-
clared for free and unlimited coinage of
silver, at a ratio of Is to 1, the party was
victorious by the usual majority. This
fact ought to afford lesson to the Dem
ocratic politicians, but probably it will

Now that the election is over the
shipment of gold will be resumed for
the purpose of influencing the action of
congress. 1t is reported that 100000
will go out on Wednesday. The same
scheme was used successfully on the
Democratic congress in 1898 for the
purpose of securing the repeal of the
Sherman law. The object now sought
is the retirement of the greenbacks. 1t
remains to be seen whether Republicans
will become q party to the plan or
whether they will allow the administra-
ton to wrestle alone with depleted
gold reserve and large and increasing
treasury deficit. Partisan advantage
should be subordinated to the welfare
of the people, but will it?

experimenting, until it seems to be all
that is claimed for it. Whether the
speed claimed will be actually attained
in service can only be told after public
service begins, but in other respects the
company seem to have demonstrated all
they claim. In prospectus about to be
issued they say:
"We simply take the bicycle, which
is not very mysterious, and enlarge it SO
that instead of carrying one person it
carries 40 to 20. We then place upon
the wheels of this bicycle our electric
motor. In the advanced although yet
imperfect stage of electricity electric
motors are no longer considered new. We
place this bicycle within the embrace Of
a structure so built that it will hold it,
and SO hold it that no matter what hap
pens its occupants can in no wise be in
jured, and then, by applying the cleo
tricity just as the trolley cars do, we
drive our light machine at speed and
with safety elsewhere unknown in the
world today"
Whether it will be followed by the
construction of similar roads in other
portions of the country cannot easily be
foretold, for railroad business on Long
Island is peculiar in many respects. Its
freight carriage is comparatively small.
and the great majority of the passengers
go to and from one end of the road.
These conditions are naturally favorable
| to the new venture, but whether they
will be essential to its success is ques-
ton for experts, not for laymen.

The partisan plans connected with the
approaching session of congress are al
ready beginning to assume shape. The
president will recommend legislation
which he knows in advance congress
will not pass, and congress will enact
legislation which its members are GER
tain that the president will not approve.
The result will be that the close of the
session will find the time wasted, and the
affairs of the country in the same de-
plorable condition that they are today or
worse. Then each party will accuse the
other of being obstructionists and the
people will pay the bill. There is no
place where more patriotism aud less

during which the number of pupils at
the college was doubled and the institu-
ton enjoyed wonderful prosperity.
In 1890 Oberlin and Amherst both
sought his services as president, and he
accepted the Amherst offer. During the
five years that he has been in control Of
the affairs of the college it has received
hundreds of thousands of dollars in en-
dowments and has shown in numerous
other ways that master mind was out
lining its policy. In 1884 he was ap-
pointed member of the United States
board of Indian commissioners, and he
has been prominently identified with
civil service reform, ballot reform and
other movements to promote better
government and better citizenship. In
1880 he received the degree of PHI. D.
from the University of the State Of New
York, that of LII. D. from both Prince
ION and Rochester in 1889, while from
Columbia he received the degree of L.
