THE SECRET OF THE

The tale 1 have to tell is so strange,
so weird, and so unprovable, that I must
preface it by stating that what I say
herewith is absolutely all I know about
the subject. 1t will be noted by the
reader that on several important points
my descriptions are vague and uncertain
but quite enough is known, and told, to
refute the assertion that there is moth
ing new under the sun"
In the month of June, 1894, I walked
the streets of New York without a cent
of money in my possession, and without
a friend in the whole city. Like many
another poor unfortunate, it seemed i'm
possible for me to find a niche in the
world of labor into which I could fit. I
subsisted entirely by the charity of a
few good Samaritans. and became more
and more Respondent as the uneventful
days dragged by.
On a certain sunny afternoon I man.
aged to elude the vigilance of the watch
man at a steamship dock, and walking
out to the end of a pier ensconced my
self among some bales of hemp and there
went to sleep. 1t was night when 1
awoke, but as there was no one to wait
for my homecoming, nor indeed, any
home for me to go to, it made no par
ticular difference.
Still, l was, as you may say, all slept
out. and there We're several hours TO
dispose of before I could have an oppor-
tunity of passing out of the gate upper
ceived So with noiseless footsteps, I
wandered around among the piles of mer-
chandise until my attention was attract

| lay at one side of the pier.
| With the exception of these lights,
! which were, of course, situated well aft,
no sign of life was visible; and although I
| stood alongside the gangway between
! the wharf and the spardeck, I could dis
tnguish no watch or bar to prevent me
/ from going abroad. Inspired by a feel

at go francs a meter. The representa-
tives Of the courts Of Italy and Spain
have been in Paris having their court
dresses and nantes made by the Partisan
couturieres, and the patron of one of
the very smart shops told me with a ring
of bitterness in his voice that the ladies
of the Russian court had never dreamed
of having their court dresses made any
where else but in Paris, and the car
command that the court dresses of the
imperial family and ladies in waiting
should be made in Russia had caused a
great deal of disappointment.
But then it is only at the official cor
onation that this command holds good,
and there win be numerous court balls
and receptions and dinners during the
gala week at Moscow, where the Partisan
creations will be in evidence

kirkland, the Jefferson statesman,
from the field as a candidate for the
Democratic Congressional nomination,
completely dumbfounded his admirers
in this county, It was conceded on
on all sides that he could easily be
nominated, but for personal reasons,
he said, he could not make the run.
The personal reasons" were not
specified but no doubt one of them
is that Mr.. Kirkland has lost all conf
dence in the success of the Popocrats
this fall. 1t is stated the disgraceful
combination effected on the state ticket
in Milwaukee last week was more
than bob" could choke down. The
Jefferson county congressional dele
cation were greatly embarrassed over
Kirkland's back down, as it left them
in sore straits for a candidate, but
after considerable skirmishing they
decided to support Rogers of Madison.

P. H. KELLEY ASSIGNS.
iii Health Causes Him to Make a
Voluntary Assignment.
Hon John F. Meagher, of Mankato
Is Named as Assignee.

Announcement has beenmade in the
ST. Paul papers of the voluntary as
signment of Hon. P. III. Kelley. of his
individual property to Hon. John f..
Meagher 1t is understood that an
assignment of theP. HI. Kelley Mer-
camille company will be made this
afternoon to w. B. Jordan, a banker
of Miles City, Montana, and Mr..
Beigher, credit man of the company.
Mr.. Meagher was seen by a FREE
PRESS reporter this afternoon relative
to the assignment and he confirmed
the statement. He says that Mr..
Kelley isentirely solvent and that the
step had been determined upon byMr.
Kelley because of continued i'll health,
and he desired to put his affairs in
this shape so as to get his large bust
ness interests closed up at the least
expense. Mr.. Meagher will be re-
quired to qualify in bonds of 100000,
and this he will do in day or two and
will go to st. Paul the last of the
week.
Mr. Kelley has a wide circle of
friends in Minnesota and elsewhere
who will be panied to learn of his i'll
ness and forced retirment from bust
ness. He has led a most active bust
ness life and the concern of which he
is the head enjoys an enviable repu-
tation for honorable dealing. All
who know Mr.. Kelley sincerely hope
that he may recover his lost health
and live many years to enjoy the
fruits of rest and quiet which he has
so richly earned.

ments editorially on the plan, to the
effect that is unwise to combine a
steam and electric plant in one To-
