WELLINGTON WAS ChEERED

While Wellington was still marquis

He went to the opera the same even

den Also.


den Also.
One seldom hears story more pi-
quantity favored with the real old New
England humor than that told about
Uncle Gideon Goodwin, who, eighty
gears ago, was one of the characters of
the town. At that time the Methodists
used to gather at the houses to hold
their prayer meetings, and as Gideon
was devout worshiper of that creed
ne was regular attendant. One night
The meeting was held at the house Of
Harlow Harden, and Gideon was there.
In those days excitement ran high, and
lust as the enthusiasm Of the assem-,
blage was wrought to the highest pitch,
Uncle Harden, as he was always called,
irose to his feet and, lifting up his
hand, shouted in voice full of fervor:
Glory to Gideon." Hardly had the
.horus OF amens which this utterance
.alled forth died away, when Goodwin,
cho thought that the praise was meant
Tor him, and was bound to return
the compliment, jumped up and said:
Glory to you, too, Uncle Harden!"
That broke up the meeting. The
solemnity of the occasion, SO thoroughly
shaken, could not be restored, and
there was a speedy adjournment.

DURRANT Is SURLY.
His Irritation Possibly Due to Use of
Drugs-CharEed with Murder.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 27-Theo-
dore Durrant was taken from his cell in the
city prison to-day and formally charged
with the murder of Blanche Lamont He
has been very surly for the past two days,
and made no effort to conceal his irritation
this morning. How much more are you GO
ing to charge me with?' he growled to de-
tective Seymour, who swore to the COM
plaint. The prison officials are confident
that Durrant's visitors bring him drugs
which enable him to sleep twelve hours a.
day. To the use of these opiates his in
creasing Irritation is ascribed. He is fast
becoming what is known as an unreasonable
and troublesome prisoner. Chief Crowley
has ordered THAI no notice shall be taken
of anything the prisoner says, minor prison
officials having complained of Durrant s
rudeness. Durrant is treated with the
most comfortable cell in the prison. has
access to an adjoining bath room, is per-
mitted to receive visitors at all hours and
is not thrown in contact with the other
prisoners.
The preliminary examination in the VIII
liams case will probably be concluded on
Tuesday and the inquest in the Lamont
case begun on the following day. Friends of
Durrant still profess to believe in his in
terry of the murders. limiting that thew ,e were

resident of the mission, who has since dis
Barnes to try Durrant for the Lamont muir
der f1rst is generally commended Consid-
cred alone. the Williams case lis deemed
weak for the prosecution and with another
case to be tried jury verdict of guilty
would be doubtful. The prosecution fears
the moral fact of an acquittal case The
evidence in the Lamont crime Is considered
much more conclusive. 1t is probable that
the grand jury will be asked to indict Dur
rant for the Lamont murder. This would
render unnecessary a preliminary police
court investigation.

Billy Mccarthy Knocked Ont by Dan
Creedon at Galveston.

GALVESTON, Tex, April q. = BY a
chance blow, Dan Creedon knocked out
Billy Mccarthy in the fremont Opera
House tonight in less than a minute.
Honest John Duffy was the referee. Nc
Carthy was a little slow in putting up his
hands Creedon took advantage of 1t, land
ed on the side Of the chin with his left
which dazed Mccarthy. He followed it up
with his right, knocking Mccarthy against
the ropes and nearly upsettng the post to
which the gong was fastened. Mccarthy
still stood his ground, but was too dazed
to defend himself. He stood up before
Creedon again and was promptly knocked
against the ropes. Again he came up
dazed and a tap on the chin put him out.
Referee Duffy put his arms about Mccarthy
as he fell and counted him out Mccarthy
recovered Immediately and walked to his
dressing room.
Nearly two thousand people witnessed
the hight. The. crowd was very much dis.
satisfied with the outcome, having expected
to see long fight, as both men were in
excellent condition, evenly matched and
had the middle-weight championship honor
to settle between them, since FltzSimmons
has gone into the heavyweight class
Prof. Duffy tonight said that he very
much regretted the outcome. Il honestly
believe that this was fight on the level
1 expected it to last twenty rounds at
dazed Mccarthy, and then Creedon followed
it up right and left until be finished him. "
The crowd became boisterous and continued
a noisy demonstrating until pacified by a
pretty three-round Sparring bout between
Creedon and Tommy Tracy.

NEGROES in MEXICO.
Colonfxer Ellis Denies They Are Har-
asscd I'm Any Manner.

NEW YORK, April Efficiently tidings
have reached the United States of the
statements of individuals who had left the
Durango lMexico) colony, where from 900
to $500 negroes of the United States have
been colonzed by Mr.. W. H. Ellis. During
the present week story comes from the
United States side of the border line pur-
porting to give the version of two per-
sons who have left the colony and who al
legged that they had been worked under
guards and along the lines of system of
slavery worse than that OF Russian exiles
in Siberia, without the comforts and lack
ing many of the necessities of life, and
without educational advantages or attend
ance for the sick.
On the appearance of these statements
w. H. Ellis, who is at present in this city
in company with Don Juan Llamedo, one
of the directors of the Bank of London and
Mexico and president of the colonization
company, came to the Office of the Asso-
ciated Press asking that a succinct and
definite statement by him be given to the
people as to the exact conditions. terms and
Mr.. Ellis succeeded in moving two hundred
colonists to the 1000, ,000-acre hacienda of
the Tlahualilo Colonization Company in the
State of Durango, Mexico. Ellis did this
under a concession from the Mexican gov
ernment permitting him to bring immigrants
W MeAlcO, anu uuueI a CONTRACT with the
hacienda owners as to supplying land i'm
plements, etc. Mr.. Ellis and Don Juan
Llamedo, who is in New York arranging
with c. p. Huntington for branch rail-
road to the hacienda, both aver that every
obligation has been observed. Out of the
two hundred and odd negroes only twenty
seven have left through inconsistencies or
lack of ambition to make home by hard
work. The negroes have a large public
school maintained by the company; they
make their own colony laws ana they police
themselves: there is a church in which
one of three preachers of different sects
preach in rotation; there has been provided
salt pork. bacon and cornbread, which the
negroes yearned for: there is not an armed
guard or oyerseer in the colony, and each
man may come and go as he chooses The
colonists are allotted such land as they
desire to work. and then half the gross
crop is theirs for their labor and cotton,
corn and wheat crops are now growing.
Mr. Ellis says the reports of dissatisfac-
ton are mainly prompted by the resent
ment of one man in the United States on
having lost an opportunity for making
profit out of the enterprise. Mr.. Ellis
states that the colony viii get bale of
cotton to the acre, against one to every
two acres in the United States and seventy
bushels of corn TO the acre, against forty
bushels IN the United States, and that his
own returns come out Of the company's 50
per cent. OF the crop.
