HOLZHAY'S STUDIES.
Train Robber is Back i'm Marquette
Prison and Has Taken Up
Psychology.

Marquette Mich, Feb. 23.-Reimund
aolzhay, the train robber who terrorized
Northern Wisconsin and Michigan for
few months in 1889, is feeling quite con-
tented now that he is back in the branch
prison at this place. A little more than
six months ago his mental faculties be-
came affected and it was deemed best to
send him to the asylum for the criminal
insane at Ionia. He was reported as
cured short time ago and Warden Van
Evera has brought him back.
Holzhay is permitted certain privileges
in the corridor but is very closely
watched He has turned from the dime
novels and other yellowcoyered litera-
ture which he said, on his trial, led to
his becoming Il train robber. and now de-
votes his spare time to researches and
philosophy and other kindred subjects.
At present he is paying particular atten-
ton to psychology and the origin of spe-
cics. He also spends considerable time
in writing. He pays no attention what
ever to current events in the worlds his
tory and considers the prison library
trash. He buys from his own resources
such heavy books as he can and
friends outside who take an interest in
his studies contribute to his library. If
he still cherishes any hope of freedom
he does not manifest it in any way.

Frederick Douglass was born in a dis
trict known as Tuckahoe, on the east
shore of Maryland, in 1917. His father
was a white man and his mother negro
slave. AS was the custom in those days
for slaves to do, he took the name of his
master, Col. Lloyd, but changed it sever
al years later for that Of Douglass. The
first ten years of his life were spent on
the plantati ton of his master, where he
witnessed the indignities heaped upon the
negro race under slave rule, and learned
to hate slavery with bitterness that
made him its most determined foe.
When he was about 10 years Old he
was sent to live with q relative of his
masters, in Baltimore, and there enjoyed
many privileges and advantages which
few negroes received in those days. and
learned to read and write. In 1888 he
succeeded in escaping from slavery and
making his way to New York He did
not feel safe there however. and soon
he went to New Bedford, Mass, where
he lived for three years. He married and
made his living by working around the

come acquainted with William Lloyd
Garrison and other prominent abolition
lists. and his abilities attracted their at
tention. In 1871 he made a speech be-
fore the anti-slavery convention in Nan
tucket that won for him a high place
among the anti-slayery agitators and he
was offered position as lecturer by
the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery society.
During the next four years he spoke in
nearly every part of New England In
1915 he went TO Great Britain and spent
two years recurring there. In 1917 he re-
turned and started his paper called the
North Star, at Rochester. n. Y.
On account of some letters found in
the possession of John Brown when capt
ured after his raid on Harper's Ferry in
1859, a requisition was issued by Gov.
Wise of Virginia for the arrest of Doug
lass. Hearing of it, Douglass went to
England, where he stayed for nearly
year. At the outbreak Of the war he
returned and resumed the publication of
his paper. He strongly advocated the
using of colored troops during the war
and helped secure many volunteers Tor
colored regiments when that policy was
adopted.
AT the close of the war he dropped the
publication of his paper and devoted his
attention to the lecture platform. In
1870 he started the New National Era
in Washington. During the last twenty
years Mr. Douglass had been a prominent
igure in Republican politics.
