A WOMAN ON HER EAR.
Mrs. Roby swoops Down On At

Rakes Him Before And
Aft In Great styls,

Aft In Great styls,
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June To-
Mrs. Edward Roby, of Crown Point,
swept down on fhe attorney-gener-
aPs office at the state house today
and administered lecture that
Acknowledgement Ketchum will re-
member to his dying day. The
trouble between the state and Roby
was tho direct couse Of Mrs. Roby's
vehement attack. She is a tieshy
built woman, whose husband is the
owner of the ground on which the
Roby association has its plant.
Ever since the Attorney.Ge
argued his case at Crown Point
Mrs. Roby is said to have been
very angry on account OF the way
he roasted the patrons Of the races.
There was fire in her eyes when
she hailed the Attorney-General
in his official sanctum. He was
preparing to write brief and can
dldly informed her, as he always
does when he has not time to talk,
that he could not see her and ex-
planned the reason. Instantly Mrs.
Robv seemed to grow frantic. She
advanced and threw her hands
about dramatically.
III was sitting at my home" she
said, "when eight hundred women,
w. G. T. U. people some OF them,
came to me and asked me II l
knew what Ketcham had been say
ing against the Roby people. l re-
piled no, and they said that you had
stated that every woman who went
to the races was beyond the pale OF
society. Those are hard words to
use," she said, pausing to catch
breath. Then she went on.
"You are q coward sir, and not fit
to wear that button"
This remark was made as Mrs.
Roby caught sight Of a Grand
Army button on Mr.. Ketchum's
coat. She made q dive for it, but
was not able to jerk it off.
At this point Mr.. Ketchum said
that if Mrs. Roby made another at
tempt to lay her hands on him he
would call in the police. She as.
sured the Attorney-Ge doz-
en- times in succession that he was
descended from "Jack Ketchum,"
Mr.. Ketchum scrubbed away on
his brief, only pausing to remark
that he would hear all she had to
say,but would do nothing.T Then she
got down on her knees and in i'm
FASHIONED tones showed how she
had prayed that the Attorney-Gen-
erals posterity might burn in
hades for evermore. Her harrow
ing imprecations over, she rushed
over to Deputy Moor's desk and be-
gan on him. He "sassed back" and
Mrs. Roby angrily exclaimed: otis
just such people as you that the
state labors to support"
Mrs. Roby's TRADE lasted two
hours. When she hurled the last
word Mr.. Ketchum had finished
his brief.

ELISHA p. PERRY.

The foremost figure in the life or the
new gtate OF Washington has passed into
history Elisha p. Ferry is dead.
For more than a quarter OF q century
the tall. spare form has been 50 intimately
identified with every progressive move
rnent in the state that his ceath comes as
A stroke Of personal grief to every citizen.
Notwithstanding his 70 years. he has not
seemed an old man, so upright his car
rage. so genial his manners. and so virile
his intellect Many people had marked
out for him a new lease OF public life
when his period OF rest had ended: but
the great timekeeper has announced the
close OF three score and ten years or faith
full service and the rest is prolonged into
eternity.
Elisha p Ferry was born At Monroe.
Mich. in 1895. He was admitted TO the
bar when % years OF age; he practiced
law and was the first mayor OF Wauke-
gan. Ill He was presidential elector.
member OF the Illinois constitutional
convention in 1855. and bank commits
sloner.
When the war broke out he assisted in
the organization OF a number Of Illinois
regiments. and was appointed assistant
adjutant general, with the rank OF colo
mel
Gen. Grant appointed him surveyor gen.
eral OF Washington territory in 1853; in
1872 he was appointed governor and re-
appointed in 1s7s. serving until 1880 In
1888 he was elected first governor Of the
state Of Washington.
These. in brief. are the landmarks OF an
eventful life; but between them are
stretched some OF the most vivid and stir
ring scenes Of the Northwestern states
history.
Gov. Ferry. throughout all the vicissi-
tudes Of the oftentimes perturbed political
conditions, retained the affection of the
people. His somewhat brusque manner
never made him unapproachable. and
amidst the highest honors the state could
afford he maintained a Lincoln-liBe sim
pliclty Of life. He made warm friends in
every rank of life; he died without an enc
my. His integrity was immaculate. his
word bond. his friendship tower of
strength and his judgment unerring.
The old pioneers who. In the days when
population was scant and mans true
character was known to all the people,
learned TO place their absolute faith in
him, Will most keenly realize the great
loss Washington has sustained.
This may be said 70 be the first great
loss the state at large has suffered for
a quarter Of a century. Other esteemed
sons have died, but their location or their
age has limited their area of usefulness.
The grand old man whose heart has
ceased to beat belonged to the common
wealth. and the silence OF sorrow has
fallen upon every home.
The sturdy will which Numbered TO the
British troops that If they did not evac-
uate San Juan island he would make
them. was blended with n wonderful
kindness; the tones of a martinez in the
performance OF duty were softened in the
presence OF appeals to his generous ma
ture. and the anxieties OF state affairs
were always put off at the portals OF his
happy home.
The state OF Washington is bereaved.
and the days of her mourning will be
many.
