A GEORGIA FUGITIVE.
He Is Arrested In Pine Blum Six Years
After His Crime

Last night Deputy Sheriff C. NJ.
Franks, of Barlow county, Georgia,
arrived in the city. He came after
K. L. Donohoe, a negro who was
recently arrested by the Sheriff Of
Jefferson county at the request OF
the Georgia Sheriff.
About six years ago Donohoe was
indicted in Barlow county, Georgia,
for assault with intent to kill. He
was tried and convicted of simple
assault Donohoe escaped from the
officers and fed to Arkansas. He
came to Pine Bluff and obtained en-
ployment on one of Sheriff Triplett's
plantations, and has remained on the
place ever since. The Georgia Off
GERS traced him here and ordered his
arrest and sent for hims
This morning Gen. H. King White,
who has been retained as an attOr-
ney by Donohoe, sued ont a writ Of
habeas corpns, and as the crime for
which his client was convicted was
punishable by fine, he will pay the
fine and costs and have Donohoe re-
leased.

A War Relic to BE SOLD.

An interesting relic of the civil war
will soon be sold at auction. It is an
old six FOUNDER smoothbore feldpioce,
built at Chicopee, Mass, in 1861. It
was part of the battery of a Massachu-
setts brigade, and was captured az
Chickamauga by the Confederates. It
was recaptured in 1864 by General
Sherman at the fall of Atlanta Later
he placed it on board the dispatch boat
Jasmine, which was renamed the Chan
dler in 1866. The Chandler has since then
been used at this port as a boarding boat
by customs officers.
The gun has been found to be in the
way on the boat, and its sale has been
ordered. New York Times.

FIFTY FOURTH CONGRESS-.

Recently the Chicago Record
sent out to the members elect of the
Fifty Fourth Congress asking their
views on public questions and the
lines of legislation which would
likely be pursued at the coming
December session.
The Record sums up the opinions
thus expressed, which give a
tolerable fair outline of what can be
expected and the prospects OF
legislation, as follows;
The opinions expressed rec in
the main in two things. One is
that the revenues of the govern
ment must be increased. The other
is that the outlook for general
legislation is poor. The session
promises to be one of inactivity, en-
hvened by stage plays in the interest
of parties and presidential asplrants.
In the words of Senator Frye, OF
Maine, a Republican House, a
nondescript Senate and a Demo
cratic President do not furnish a
team for heavy work.
eWhile there is general agreement
that the revenues should be in
creased, the manner of providing
this increase promises to make a
conflict between Congress and the
President right at the start, for
many Republicans insist that the
revenue bill shall be drawn on
protection lines, and some even
appear to want to make it offensive
to the President in that respect.
"Cuba, Venezuela and the Monroe
Doctrine promise to furnish suf-
fcient material for discussion and
for resolutions. The Nicaragua
canal, a railroad pooling bill and
the Union Pacific situation will
receive attention, as will also the
pension question. An effort will be
made to deprive the commissioner
of pensions of the right to cut off
arbitrarily or to reduce their
oIIoWonooe
ct looks as if the question of re-
firing the greenbaeks, if pressed by
President Cleveland, as it probably
will be, will oyershadow in i'm
portance the silver question. 1t
many be made one of the leading
issues in the next campaign.
On the whole, very little legisla-
ton of Importance may be expected
from the coming session of Congress.
Fortunately the party strengths is
SO divided between the two houses
and the executive that very little
dangerous or disturbing legislation
need be feared.

THRIFTY JOHN SHERMAN.
His Successful Advertising of His Forth
coming hook.

His Successful Advertising of His Forth
coming Book.
Throughout the preparation of his re-
cent political history and its presenta-
tion to the public, Senator John Sher-
man of Ohio has been guided by that
very fine sense of thrift which has made
him a very wealthy man and which has
kept him successfully in public life for
a great many years Probably there was
never a forthcoming publication as sue
cessfully advertised as this book was,
and its advertisement was left entirely
in the hands of public men throughout
the country.
Permitting the publication of advance
sheets which would be likely to stir up
controversy, a controversy followed and
such public interest was created in the
book that it's sale, now going on by sub
scription, is going to be very large.
Agents are canvassing Washington and
are placing great many copies.
These agents have made known an
other shrewd scheme by which 1926, 600
will be obtained. The price of the
cheapest set is 81. Various styles of
binding carry the price of ordinary
bindings up to $12. There is to be a
special edition of 1000 volumes of the
finest binding, which will contain auto
graphic signatures of the distinguished
author, and for which his admirers are
expected to pay $25 per set. AS the
agents claim there will be no difficulty
in disposing of 1000 sets. it seems that
$780, 600 is thus secure aside from what
other sales the book may have st

DUCHESS TO CRIPPLE |
THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH TOLD.
HIS slA4eeE A plrlsuL STORY

II Was al Dinner Wit, Mrs. Aiss and
Mias ConsueIo Vanderbilt Then the
Light of Plenty shone In the wretched
Home.
There is a little girl in New York to
whom the sound of the words Marl-
borough Vanderbilt" is the sweetest
music, and as she hears it tears of graft
tude creep down her check.
She is a cripple, and the dark, poorly
furnished room that she calls home is
in the eighteen hundreds of Third ave-
nue.
For years she has been bedridden,
but although hopeless cripple she sup
ports an aged invalid mother.
The earnings that kept the wolf from
the door we've from the daughters hand
icraft in papier mache. She makes
plaques that are facsimile duplicates of
postage stamps. Her work is so deft
that the plaques find ready market in
the art eenters and the homes of the
wealthy. Naturally the child's greatest
difficulty is in getting unconventional
or unique postage stamps. These are to
be had only from foreign countries.
When the little plaquemaker learned
that wedding presents were being re-
ceived by the Duke of Marlborough for
his bride, and that they were being re-
turned to their donors, her heart sank,
for among the few who have interested
themselves in her behalf is clerk at
the Plaza hotel, where the duke was
staying, and through him she hoped TO
get the foreign stamps from the duke S
mail matter.
This disappointment was shared by
the clerk, but when the beautiful bridal
bouquet from the tenants of Blenheim
castle arrived the clerk saw his oppor-
tunity and forthwith wrote anote to the
Duke of Marlborough telling him Of the
hopes Of the little cripple. Immediately
there came q reply from the duke, say
ing that he had requested his secretary,
Mr.. Morris, to see that the postage
stamps which had brought the flowers
were turned over to the little plaque
maker.
But what made the little cripple's
heart leap was a little piece of paper
which bore the inscription aMarlbor-
ough, and which was equivalent at
the dukes American bankers for more
than dozen plaques, even at the top
most prices
That evening when the duke dined
with the mother Of the young woman
who is now his duchess he told of the
little cripple The fair Mrs. Alya Van
derbilt and the dainty Consuelo were
touched. They sent their agents to find
the girl. They found her condition even
more pitiable than the duke had de.
| scribed
TWAS early ON the next morning that
a great box of cut flowers arrived at the
dingy room where the crippled girl lived
with her invalid mother. In it a mott
read:
These few roses arc from the brida
table Of the Duchess of Marlborough
and they are sent with the love and sin
oerity of the mother of the bride at thu
BRIDES request.

The director OF the mint IN his re-
port to the Secretary of the Treas.
ury says at the average price Of
silver during the year the ratio OF
gold to silver was l to 30. 5 aud the
bnllion value of United States
silver dollar was 49, 1913 cents.
The value of the gold and silver
estimated to have been used in the
industrial arts during the calendar
year 1894 was, approximately,
$21 Sal 652, of which $40, 1913, 8O4
was gold and $lO,88 O48 was
silver.
The estimated metallic stock in
the United States on July l, 1895
was: Gold, $685., 229, 1926; silver, 1925,
953, 949 The estimated product OF
gold and silver in the
United States during the
calendar year 1894 was: Gold,
80, 50O,0 900 fine ounces; silver, 40,
800, 900 fine ounces. The estimated
production of the world for the
calendar year was: Gold, $3.50,
626, 100; silver, coming value, $216,-
292, 200. The coinage of gold and
silver by the various counties of
the world, so far as this information
has been received for the calendar
year 1895, was: Gold, 1927, 921 ,032:
silver, $1O6, 383, 952.
In his report, Mr.. Preston gives
an estimate of the approximate
stock of money in the principal
countries OF the world. He places
the stock of gold at 81, O86, 500 600.
the stock of silver 81. 070. 500. 600
The uncovered notes are placed at
s., 469, 50O, 900.
Attention is also directed to the
fact that whereas, on January /.
1879, the date of the resumption of
specie payments, the only currency
then outstanding except coin certifi-
Gates required to be redeemed in
gold coin was $346, 68l, O16 legal
tender, for which a gold reserve of
500, 900, 900 was sufficient. Init To
that has been added 1855. $3.50 900
paper currency issued in payment
oil silver bullion, besides 1898. 456 !
2S6 in silver certificates, maxine
a total Of 1921 229, 532 now resting
on the basis of the gold reserve Of
500, OOO, 900.
1t need not be surprising there
lore that some uneasiness is felt.
and that so many legal tenders
have been presented to the treas.
ury IN the last few years for 70.
demption. This fear that the
government with its small gold re-.
serve, would be unable to maintain
them at parity with gold, has been
increased by the fact that the
governments expenses are in ex.
cess OF its incomes, and that bonds
have been issued and sold to defray
expenses. The coming Congress.
however, will replenish the present
deficit, caused by the defeat of the
income tax law by the Supreme
Court and confidence will will, to some
extent, be restored and the gold
reserve kept above the sf0U, 600, 900
mark.
