SHE'S IN A MUSEUM NOW.
Mrs. John W. Norton, Who Was Once a
Prisoner at the Copeland.

Mrs. John w. Norton of st. Louis, who
eloped with Henry w. Moore and came
to Topeka, is now said to be connected
with Philadelphia museum and has
lost all her beauty Moore died in a New
York hospital some time ago. After the
couple left Topeka they continued their
flight westward, going first to Auckland,
New Zealand, and then to Sidney, New
South Wales. In both of these places
Moore tried, but failed to get any work
on the newspapers, and the unhappy
pair made their way to England second
class, and perhaps steerage. The trip is
something neither of them would ever
speak about. Their money was all gon 9
and they were in deep, dangerous pow
erty.
Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of the New
York World, and Moore's employer while
he was managing editor of the Post Dis
patch, once told newspaper writer: 81
was walking down the Strand one day
when | saw man look at me and then
hurriedly turn his back and walk into a
public house. l thought it looked like
Moore, although 1 couldn't believe it was
he, because the fellow was shabby be-
yOnd belief, and you know l can't see
very well anyhow l left my friends and
went into the house and there was
Moore, standing against the bar.
81 asked him what he was doing, and
he just used one word: Starving is

said she was. l asked him if | couldn't
do something for him, for liked Moore,
and like him today He did magn if

the end of it was l fixed him up and sent
him to New York to work on the World,
and Mrs n orton accompanied him. Mr..
Cockerill arranged place for him, and
that was the last | heard of him for some
time"

Just across the street from Mrs.
Jones lived Mrs. Rufus Brown. The
ladies had been schoolgirls together,
and had been married about the
same time, both of them to poor men,
Mr.. Jones had shot far ahead of Mr.
Brown in the money making race,
and a government contract had made
a rich man of him. Poor Mr.. Brown,
unfortunately, had conscience con-
tinua1ly pulling him up short, and in
his business he was honest, and in
consequence his wife could not have
so many new dresses as Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Brown had borne hertrials all
winter like a martyr; but when Mrs.
Jones came out with that black cash
mere, it was little too much.
And Mrs Brown told her husband,
with tears in her eyes, that she must
have a black cashmere dress herself,
if she had to live on two meals day.
for she never would submit to have
that horrid Sophronie Jones a-faunt-
ing her ruffies and furbelows in her
face any more-so there!
s'Why, my dear Almirar' said Mr..
Brown, 81 thought you and Mrs. Jones
were bosom friends-female Damon
and Pythias.'
Owe are nothing of the kind, Rufus.
She's all the time trying to hurt my
feelings with her new clothes. AS if
she thought 1 couldn't see what her
object is. And she looks like a fright
in all those puffs she loads on, too
And she is so short and dumpy, and
no more neck than there is to a glue
bottle"

ill-natured."

to make me so. Now. Rufus, dear,
I've been lying awake half the night,

'How much money do you want?"
asked Mr.. Brown, going to the point
at once, for he had been husband
long enough to know what that very
coaxing Rufus, DEAR" meant.
''It will take twenty-four yards for
suit, and Mrs. Jones was dollar
and quarter yard. But 1 can get
some which will answer for eighty
seven cents. Nobody'l ever know
the difference; and 1 can get Miss
Camp to make it. She sews so much
cheaper than Mrs. Hills people"

DANvTLLE, ILL.,, Feb 7.-Danville has
organized a Civic Federation. The meet
ing to organize it was not fairly opened
before a heated debate ensued. The
ministers and more radical members
formed the idea of cutting entirely loose
from the old parties in municipal cleo

The candidates and professional poll

was finally agreed upon to the effect that
members of the federation would only

Deputy Diaz Moreau, formerly an
officer of the Spanish navy, in the
Chamber OF Deputies March IA, read
a statement OF the former comman-
der OF the Reina Regente in which
the writer described the cruiser as q
vessel unable to weather q heavy
storm owing to the increased weight
OF her armament. Admiral Beranger
said the overweight Of the cruisers

ago by his orders when he was Min
lister Of Marine.
In Cadiz and Cartagena, where
most OF the crew belonged, there
has been great anxiety and excite
mept from the moment the cruiser
was reported missing. The RsiDa

RACE-WAR IMMINENT.
House Continuing Arms and Amrnu-
uiftou of Military Burned.

SAVANNAH. GA, February ia
Morning News special from Atlanta says:
a race-war is imminent in the Naverly-
Hall District Of Harris county. The ne
groes OF that section have recently
aroused the suspicion Of the white people
by secret gatherings late at night, ana
later by making open threats. To-day
Governor Atkinson received letter from
r. II. Kimbrough. chairman Of the Ike
cutive Committee of the Fourth Congress
sional District. and in this letter Mr..
Kimbrough states that the only thing that
has seemed to deter the negroes so iar
has been the fear OF the military com
pany of Harris, the Gordon Troop; that
a preconcerted arrangement was made 10
destroy the effectiveness of this military
company. he says, Is evinced by me lacl
that during the early morning or feDru-
airy lith the house OF Captain j. >.
Clark, the commander of the troop the
place where the arms. sebres, and ammu-
milton OF the company were stored. was
set on fire, and together with its entire
contents. was destroyed. To bring the
incendlaries to justice the Governor IS
appealed 10 to offer rewards Tor their
capture.
The situation at the present time does
not require the sending OF other troops
10 the scene. but further developments are
awaited with considerable uneasiness IN
the Governors office.
Governor Atkinson at once took the
matter up. and the rewards VIII be offered
just as soon as the papers can be pro-
perly made out.
