Professor Lloyd was born in Wales about
20 years ago and was one of a family of
several children. His father was a GOAL
miner, wretchedly poor, and when young
Rhys was but years old he had TO go into
the shaft as helper. At intervals he at

the crumbs which fell from the scantily

his parents emigrated to America and

Government Land Sale.

The lands on Hawaii sold in front
of the Judiciary building yesterday
brought the upset prices. Only those
directly interested attended the sale,
so there was neither pushing nor haul
ing of bidders.
The land of Iliililoa sold to John T.
Barker for S371.2S, that at Oneloa to
Robert Rycroft for $22.19, and piece at
Waiokoleo, including ponds, etc., to H.

Prince Pierre, or Prince Peter, as he Is

had not thought OF such thing before,

belle during the London season, and the
prince had painted several portraits of her.
The next development was that the au-

prince to visit his mother at her italian
villa. The visit was prolonged to a month

SHE WAS CsoKED TO DEATH
ROBBERY IS EVIDENTLY THE MOTIVE

Montgomery Aug. l)-Mrs.
Kate Cahonie, an estimable Irish woman,
who for ten years past has conducted
suburban store on Grady street in the
suburbs of Montgomery, was brutally
murdered last night. She invariably
opened her store at a. m. and this
morning the neighbors, observing that it
was closed, investigated and found her
dead body lying stiff on the ground just
outside of the rear door of her little bed
room adjoining the store. The body was
attired in night dress. Tightly clasped
in the right hand was a set of false
teeth and the left held piece of candle.
Bruises on the throat showed conclusive
ly that the woman had been choked to
death.
The ground about the body gave evil
dence of a struggle in which two men
took part. 1t is believed that the men
raped at Miss Cahonies door and when
she appeared overpowered her and chok-
ed her to death. Robbery was evidently
their motive, as every trunk and drawer
in the room was ransacked. Miss Ca
homie had accumulated considerable
property, owning a block of tenement
houses around her store. Whether or
not the murderers secured any sum of
money Is not known. The authorities
are working on the case.

BLOOD ON PALE LUNA.
A tirSt-class Shooting Match Is in Sight in
Kentucky-PrincipaIs Are Game
to the Core.

Lexington, KY, Aug 18.-The famous
letter purporting to have been written
by Mrs. ]. Fletcher Johnston of this city
pointment of Mrs. Judge Cantrill and
Mrs S. A. Charles as delegates to the
Tennessee centennial Is developing one
of the biggest sensations ever known in
Kentucky. S. A. Charles, husband of the
lady who was referred to in the letter to
Governor Bradley as being of no more
culture than a chambermaid, is pushing
the matter to a crisis. He took photo
graphic copy of the Governor Bradley
letter and a written letter by Mrs. Eu-
genie Dunlap Potts to newspaper office
I'm this city and showed them to the man
aging editor Mrs. Potts is the society
-editress Of this paper and-Mr Charles
expressed surprise to the editor that he
should employ Mrs. Potts after the edi-
tor had said that the handwriting of the
Bradley letter and of the one known to
have been written by Mrs. Potts was the
same
Judge George Denny, the recent repub-
lican nominee for congress, who is a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Potts, says he will
not allow Mr.. Charles or any other man
to traduce any member of his family;
that there is not drop of cowardly
blood in the Denny and Dunlap veins
and he proposes to defend the honor of
his sister-in-law, no matter what the
consequences may be. He does not talk
of filing suit and indica tions point toward
personal encounter between Mr.
Charles and Judge Denny.
Both men are recognized as possess
ing the most daring courage and the
friends of both apprehend sanguinary
encounter Charles Is out of the city,
which fact doubtless prevented a trag-
edy today. He will return tonight.

and flourish without the organization of
the church. There may be and are some
things declared by the delegates in con-
to some of the old democratic precedents
and practices, but we cannot have ev-
erything our own way, and when we find
the main questions presented to be
Democratic and Right
we should forego the objections to those
of minor Importance and stand together
as brethren. If you cannot vote for Bry
an on his platform do not vote at all. If
you are obliged to vote and cannot vote
for Bryan do not get up another ticket
and try to make 1t represent the demo-
cratic party. Rather than this, If the
opposition to free coinage be so great and
the attachment to the single gold stand
ard be so strong that you cannot stand
Bryan, in my judgment 1t would be a
more manly and consistent course to go
over to the republicans at once and vote
for Mckinley. But I have no harsh
words for our brethren who take this
course. They have ever been true and
loyal democrats, devoted to the princi-
pies of the party and full of patriotism
and love of country and the harshest
word l have to say about them and the
course they are taking is: Friends, you
are making grave mistake.
Now, hope that my position is fully
understood upon the coinage question
and all others raised by the platform,

done-for the regular democratic nomi-

Here we have an assault made by the
lifetime enemy of the democratic party
upon Mr.. Cleveland sufficient to have in
duced our distinguished fellow citizen to
have poured yitriol upon its authors.
But we find no wood worm and gall in
this Birmingham speech against the
naaligners of Mr.. Cleveland. In his
speech he confines his attack to his old
comrades and criticises them for such a
small thing as a yelled criticism of Mr..
Cleveland.

Z. This government belongs to the peo-
pie; it is theirs by right of inheritance.
Whenever a majority of the voters of this
country determine upon line of policy
1t is their right to pursue 1t, and indi-
vidual opinion must yield obedience to

individuals make mistakes; parties make
mistakes as public officers make mis-

democratic comrades decide public
question against my individual views it
leads me to differ from them with great
diffidence.
Mr.. Lincoln said 1t was our duty to
trust the people of this country. He did
it absolutely and without reservation,
and left behind him a reputation for
craftsmanship and sagacity not surpass-
ed by any other public man in the his
tory of this country. 1t is our duty, then,
to stay close to the people, discuss the
questions to the best of our ability and
then leave them to the people, as they
have the right, under our system of gov
ernment to settle them.
For one l prefer that the fortunes of
my wife, daughters and state shall be
confded to the protection and patriotic
guardianship of the old regular organized
democracy that assembled in convention
