al education was more extensive. wrote
out the score for him. BY advancing $50
to publisher Davis had the song pub
lished, and it was such a great success
that he decided TO make song writing
his life work. With commendable pluck
he procured work as a chore boy in a
Chicago musical college and worked his
way through the institution, devoting
three years to hard study.
About this time he fell in love with
a pretty octoroon girl of Cincinnati,
Miss Lottie b. Stark. who gave him the
inspiration for one of his most success
full songs in very prosaic manner. She
sent him pair of suspenders upon
which was embroidered good likeness
Of lighthouse and a ship. Davis natu-
rally admired the suspenders and looked
at them so long and earnestly that he
concluded to write song about a light
house and a ship. The result was "The
Lighthouse by the Sea, song that
won wide popularity few years ago
and was played by street bands and
hand organs from one end of the conn
try to the other.
Davis married the pretty octoroon in
1885, and she has been of great assist
ance to him in his musical work They
live in New York, and Davis has already
written about 500 songs, number Of
which have been great successes. One
odd thing about the business is that

of it the sale ceases abruptly. One Of

his enemy, who had evacuated Chat
tanooga In haste, was somewhere In
the hilly country to the south, and
planned to fall upon him from several
directions and compel surrender of
the whole rebel army. What Rose
Grams did not know was that Long

and portrait to various countries
Early in December the detectives got
on Lippert's track, and he was found
to be living at 219 Race street, Cincin-
natl, as a bachelor in comfortable cir
cumstances, although he was looking
for employment after having lost his
situation as bookkeeper for the Chi
cago Publishing company. He offered
no opposition when arrested to being
taken to New York, and when ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Shields there he declined to say
anything. He was taken to England
in custody, and from there was taken
to Cape Town.
Lippert. it is said, was born at Ham
burg, but was trained in England to
occupy position with his father, a
rich German merchant. He filled this
position acceptably, but, being am
bilious, his father gratified him to the
extent of furnishing him with capital
for business ventures in South Africa
AT Cape Town he was soon identified
with the best people in business and
in society. At Kimberly Lippert de-
veloped into one of the boldest specu-
lators of Cape Colony, and his trans
actions have been described as pro-
d1gioIs. He kept up an establishment
which was the wonder of the richer
people in South Africa, but reverses of
fortune found him with an impaired
capital, but he did not change his
luxurious mode of living, and his for
geries followed. Then came his flight
from Cape Colony, the scandal and the
publication of his crime. The first
trace of Lippert in America was the
discovery that he had been employed
in book store at Louisville, KY, and
he was afterwards traced to Cleveland
and eventually to Cincinnati, O., where
he was arrested, as already detailed.

The Schintz Failure at Appleton
Sweeps Away Little HOards.

APPLETON, Wis, April 25.-The
failure of Louis Schintz, a real estate
dealer, takes on a more serious aspect
as the details become known. His
liabilities are $4,000, and assets $685.
600. His creditors are almost entirely
members of the st. Joseph congrega-
ton, who had entrusted him with their
little savings in amounts ranging from
500 to $500. Many of them are old and
helpless and will be rendered paupers
by their loss. Schintz was prominent
in Catholic society circles, and he used
his influence in this direction in a
business way. Among his largest
creditors is Father Richards, of ST.
Joseph's church, who had $1,000
placed. 1t is alleged that Archbishop
katzer's private secretary is a cred
itor for a like amount Notes given
by Schintz for money entrusted to him

AGAIN FIRES RAGE.
Phillips, Wis, Threatened With
Second Great Catastrophe.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, April 25.
Word was received here today that
forest fires are again raging in the
vicinity of Phillips, and it now looks
as if that devastated region will suffer
second catastrophe. The woods near
Prentice are ab.aze, and the homestead
ers and farmers are rushing into the
city for safety. There were several
farm houses burned out yesterday, and
there seems to be no probability that
the fires will abate. The weather is
hot, and the woods and trees are as
dry as finder, making them fit subjects
for the fire to prey upon. Unless rain
comes the fire will certainly create
wide desolation. The people of Prem
tice have made an organized effort to
keep the flames from entering the city.
All the fire appliances the city affords
have been gotten ready for immediate
action, and, warned by the disaster to
Phillips last summer the most heroic
efforts will be made to keep the CITY
from burning up. The nearest APP
proach it has made is about a quarter
Of mile distant, and is burning slowly
