The National tribune., 1896-09-10

We found this forceful saying in a Phillips
Brooks Year Book, and we have rejoiced in its
truth. Phillips Brooks always does ring true:
"When Christ showed us God then man had
only to stand at his highest and look up to the
Infinite above him to see how small he was.
And always, the true way to be humble is not
to stop until you are smaller than yourself. but
to stand at your real hight against some
higher nature that shall show you what the
real smallness of your greatest greatness is.
The first is the unreal humility that always
goes about deprecatihg human nature the
second is the genuine humility that always
stands in love and alteration, clarifying God"
And so with books and trees and mountains
We pass our days slowly, lingering over every
hour. From the windy mountain-tops We
look over the crests and peaks to Pisgal, that
crowns them all, and to where, between tho
misty hillsidcs. the river is flowing. In the
valleys we watch the reddening NAPLES, the
shine of the goldenr rod, and the sheen of the
aster-bloom. We find life very sweet in this
beginning of Autumntime--but "they" do
say we are lazy.

CRAZY
He Believes That He Is
a Desperate.
AN ODD CASE IN THE COUNTY
COURT YESTERDAY.
KILLED BOB FORD
TO AvENGE THE IMAGINARY
DEATH OF HIS FATHER AND
MOTHER.
Says He Is n Son of Jesse James


A man about twenty-eight years old
yesterday. who in his demented con.
dillon thinks himself the son OF Jesse
James.
He has downcast expression and
talks In n whimsical. outlandish man
ner. doubtless to make believe that
he is what he claims-ths son OF the
noted desperate.
His name is Archie Scott, and no
was brought here from Arlington. He
says he Is called Scott because a Scot
tish family adopted him after his faith
er's death. He has undoubtedly read
the life OF Jesse James, as he is more
or less familiar with the story OF his
IRE; but he has the date Of his death
confused with his boyhood, and says
mis- father received his death blow at
the hands of Bob Ford when he was
very small. He remembers very dis
tlnctly when his father was killed, he
says, and he swore to avenge his blood.
lie claims to have kept his oath and
put an end to the life OF Ford with his
own hands several years ago.
WAen asked by Gazette reporter II
he knew Frank James he said, why,
yes; he is my uncle; / saw him in
Paris, Tex, not six months ago." He
belleNes ms IutherS mantle fell on
Frank, and wants to see the latter
elected president OF the United States.
Archie says his father left large
estate at Arlington. and that when he
gets out OF prison he intends to asser,
his rights.
1t is said he has In fact taken steps
to reclaim piece of land which he
says belonged to Jesse James, and that
he has begun the construction OF n
rock house on the premises He has
also built a crib on the place and begun
other improvements to make everything
have homelike appearance.
He Is snugly housed In a comfortable
corner or the Tarrant county 1ail. and
when Gazette correspondent asked
him why he was there, he replied that
he was placed behind the bars because
ne was the son of desperate He said
he did not tell the court that he killed
Bib Ford. because he knew he would
never get out of prison. but did not
mind telling other people because he
had done an honorable thing In ayeng-
ing the life OF his father.
He was OF course convicted of Iun-
acy and Will be sent to the asylum at
Terrell as soon NJ possible. In the
meantime he Is confined In the county
jail for safe keeping.

one OF Intense interest and The dla-

Mrs. Fiske's performance OF Nora
was delightful revelation In its per-
rect naturalness. Her methods nre

THE EDWARDS CASE.


The C. T. Edwards swindling case Is
as bad to down as the proverbial
ghost of Banuuo. For the fifth or sixth
time It now hobs serenely up and claims
the attention OF the courts. but each
time under n new name.
Mr.. Edwards was indicted by the
grand jury for swindllng for money ex-
ceeding $50. OF which charge he came
clear by q technically. II appearing
that the money was not paid him. but
instead customers draft for the sum
OF $3.50 from j. r. wellington. He
gave mortgage for the loan on prop
erty which the state claims he never
had.
on September IS. 1896 the grand jury
indicted him for swindllng for n cer-
tain draft or check on a bank OF this
city. II being the same case as the
original. but coming up under n differ
ent charge. The entire day was taken
up In examining witnesses and plead
ing the case, which was referred to the
Jury to render verdict this morning.
What the decision OF the Jury will be IL
n mere matter OF speculation. but II
will doubtless be the end OF the case
which has become familiar to the legal
fraternity by reason OF its coming up
so many times for trial.

Austin was elected secretary OF the
league. There was a little disposition
on the part of some to have the pres
idency of the league go to the southern
part of the state. but with such pop
ular man for president as Mr.. Ward
has proved to be that influence was cas-
ly overcome.
The sentiment prevails throughout
baseball circles In Texas that the
standard of the game will be very much
improved by the removal of Ted Sulli-
van from the state. He was decidedly
dlsturber. and last season made him
self obnoxious to all true lovers of the
game. Ted Is gone for sure. and there
Ia none left behind to weep over his
departure. The only regret Is that he
stayed SO long.
The prospects for a successful season
In the league are very bright.
