HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS.
John Paterson Found Starving in "a
Seventh Street Block.

John Paterson. a resident of St. Paul for
nearly forty years and at one time wel-to-
do, financially, is lying in impoverished
condition on the fourth floor of a building
at 222 East Seventh street. i'll and without
food or money. For three days, the old man
says, food has not passed his lips.
Paterson is siXty-five years DID, and has
been out of the city hospital a month after
five months confinement the result of
a fall which he received. He is the victim
of partial paralysis and unable to assist
himself to any extent. Paterson was mem
Der of the police force from 1860 to 1865 as
a patrolman, and also served four years as
a detective. He was then detailed as po-
lice sanitary inspector and worked under the
direction of the health department. From
1865 until 1870 he was a member of the vol
unteer fire department. and claims to have
paid taxes during his more prosperous days,
when he was at one time worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000 After paying 800
into a local benevolent association, he says.
he lost his membership through inability to
pay the assessments when he was ill after
the death of his wife three years ago. Four
of his children have died in st. Paul, and
a fifth married daughter, he says is unable
to help him in his cd age.

TEACHERS LOOKING AROUND.
Some of Them Willing to Go Else
where.

Superintendent of Schools Curtis, who re-
Gently returned from the convention of the
National Educational association in Milwau-
kee, says that the st. Paul teachers were
well represented, and that several of them
took an active part in the work of the con-
vention.
Asked if it was true, as currently reported
that number of them secured positions in
the Milwaukee schools in consequence of the
reduction in their salaries, Supt. Curtis an
swered:
Il can say that so far as l know ncne of
our teachers have obtained other positions
though I understand that some of them de-
sire to DO So That is only natural under
the circumstances. One of our teachers. in
the Mechanic Arts school, has been offered
another posit:on-not in Milwaukee, how
ever-but declined it. You see it is rather
late in the season for teachers TO secure
other places for the coming school year, as
nearly all the cities hire their teachers earlier
in the summer"
Speaking of the convention, Supt Curtis
said that he was particularly impressed with
the interest and enthusiasm manifested by
the people of Milwaukee in the convention
Thousands of them attended the meeting at
the big exposition last Thursday night, and
at least 5000 were turned away, unable to
gain admission.

of unmerited clemency by the unfor-
tunate condition of the law that con-
demned them to life sentence instead
of to the gallows. They have already
mercy. But, leaving them altogether
out of the question. We believe it
worth while, as another proof of the
disintegrating and revolutionizing
force of sentiment unguarded by rea-
son, to show that here it has not hest
tated to set up a distinction between
persons equally guilty in the eyes Of
heaven and earth for the defense Of
a plea that appealed to its momentary
weakness.

ROLAND REED ON THE STAND.
He and Two of His Actresses Appear
in Court at Macon.


Macon, Ga. May lin the federal
court to-day the suit of Roland Reed
against the Southern Railway Company
for $4,000 damages for personal injuries
alleged to have been received in a wreck
at Scotland, Ga, in February, 1895, was
called for trial. Roland Reed Isadore
Rush and Mrs. Mary Myers were present
in court Both women have similar suits
against the Southern and as the same is
sues are involved as in the Reed case, the
finding of the Reed jury will determine
all three cases.
Col w. A. Henderson, assistant general
counsel for the Southern, and HILL Harris
& Birch and Delany & Bishop appear for
the defendant, while the plaintiff is rep
resented by Glenn, Slaton & Phillips of
Atlanta and Tom Eason of Eastman.
Mr.. Reed and both ladies gave testimony
which was highly entertaining to the
court, the jury and spectators. Mr. Reed
showed his clever skill as an actor when
piled with questions by Col. Henderson,
and his direct answers left no hope for
the counsel to trap him.
Miss Isadore Rush gave a thrilling ac-
count of the disaster and exhibited her
shapely arm to the jury to show the scar
made in that frightful wreck.
"A patheuc incident occurred Just before
the adjournment of the court, when Col.
Henderson appeared to question Mr..
Reeds veracity, whereupon Mr.. Reed de-
clared he always told the truth.
II don't say you would not" said Col.
Henderson, but did you send any tele>
grams from Scotland on the morning of
the wreck?"
Yes, sir, I did, I sent several of them, "
said Mr.. Reed.
What was in those telegrams?" asked
Col Henderson.
Lies nothing but lies; every word of
them was ,ie,'' declared Mr. Reed.
''They were all lies were they?" said Col.
Henderson.
Every word of them" said Mr. Reed.
'But why did / send them?" I'll tel you
why. My poor old mother was very sick at
home. and it was on account of my love
and respect for her and my desire not
to alarm her that 1 sent them. Any man
who cares anything for his mother would
have done the same thing.
This incident was a boomerang for the
defendants counsel. as Mr.. Reeds declar-
alton of love and respect for his mother
created a favorable impression.
Mr. Reed will go on the stand again to-
morrow morning.
The case attracts much attention and
may be the last one heard by the court
until congress appropriates money to car
~ on the court.

Two Remington Roadsters were selec-

and as there are about Is cycle dealers

Miner's career at Lithia Springs has
