High Heels Convicted Him.

"I never see high heels on pair OF
shoes or boots," volunteered an old
detective officer to a Star reporter,
"but am reminded of the capture OF
Atzerodt, one of the Lincoln assassin.
alton conspirators. It was the high
heeled boots that he wore that brought
about his arrest. It came in this way.
Lewis J. Weichman, the War Depart
ment clerk, on the night of the assas-
sination of Lincoln, who was one of
the boarders at Mrs. Surratt's, gave
considerable information as to the
conspiracy. It was at first thought
that he was in the conspiracy himself,
but he managed to clear himself to the
satisfaction of the authorities and was
never prosecuted. With another de-
tective officer I went to Mrs. Surratt's
house about daybreak on the morning
after the night of the assassination.
Shortly sfterward man came to the
house with a pick and shovel. He was
dressed as laborer and said he had
been employed to do some digging in
the yard and wanted to see the lady
of the house about going to work.
Mrs. Surratt, who resided in b street,
near Sixth Northwest, had been placed
under arrest during the night. The
makeup of the man was very perfect,
80 much 80 that for time he COM
pletely threw US off from suspecting
him. His story was very clear, and
there were indications that there was
work needed to be done in the yard. I
told him to wait there, and later on I
would see about the work to be done.
He took q seat on a box, and it was
then I noticed he had very high heels
on his boots. On a further examina-
ton I noticed that the boots were not
the boots that laborers wore, but were
fine calfskin, and showed that they
had been polished the day before,
though the rain during the night had
washed much of the blacking off. This
convinced me that all was not right,
and 1 locked him up. In couple OF
hours ascertained that he was none
other than Atzerodt, the man who had
been selected by the conspirators to
murder Vice-President Johnson, but
who had failed in his purpose. AS it
was, it was his high-heeled boots
which first directed my suspicious to
him, and it was his high-heeled boots
which hung him. When he was ex-
ecuted he wore the same high-heeled
boots, and they were buried with
Aim. "-Washington Star.

But the wayfarer, eying him suspiciously,
mutters to himself, "Perhaps he wants to
steal it," or else sullenly replies, ~ am OBJ

equal to that OF the man who should check
his trunk through to Chicago and then run
into the baggage chr every hour to see If his

our own valuable property to railway Off

Bullets of Solid Gold.

Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary of State for the colonies, has
received dispatch from her majesty's
high commissioner at the Cape stating
that in the fighting at Fort Martin,
near Hartley, South Africa, on Satur-
day, the noted chief, Mashingombi,
was slain and between 400 and 500 Of
his followers were taken prisoners.
The Government forces occupied all
the positions at Marbles Kraal, where
they captured more than one hundred
prisoners.
A dispatch from Fort Salisbury says
that the British forces took the ma
tives completely by surprise. When
a charge was made upon the stock.
ades the natives fed to their caves, in
which they were afterward captured,
Mashingombi's main cave being de-
stroyed with dynamite. Mashingombi
was wounded during the attack and
died soon after being taken prisoner.

Restraining grace is an amazing

OLD DUST WITH LOVE.
NUGGETS AND ROMANCE IN THE
PLAcERS OF THE KLONDlKE.

Clarence j. Berry, Only Recently Poor
Farmer, Now the Barney Barnato of
the Fields-Wedding Trip of Fifteen
Months Was Worth Million a Month.
Clarence J. Berry is the Barney Bar
nato of the Klondike. He took $780,
900 from the top dirt of one of his
claims IN five months. He kept it all
but S22, 900, which he paid to his min
ers. He did not have to give his
wife even so much as pin money. She
had pan of her own. She would oc-
oasionally get time from her sewing
and mending to drop around to the
dump. She sifted out $4,000 or so
in her spare moments. This was her
amusement in the strangest year,
honeymoon that is recorded. The two
started fifteen months ago as bride and
groom. She was the devoted sweet
heart of a poor Fresno farmer. They
have returned to San Francisco with
all kinds of gold dust, nuggets and
coin. They have millions in sight, and
behind the millions is pretty romance.
Berry was fruit raiser in the south
ern part of California. He did not
have any money. There was no par
ticular prospect that he would ever
have any. He saw life of hard plod-
ding for bare living. There was no
opportunity at home for getting ahead,
and, like other men of the Far West, he
only dreamed of the day when he would
make strike and get his million. This
was three years ago. There had then
come down from the frozen lands of

Incident of Travel Abroad.

Chauncey M. Depew tells this char.
acteristic incident of the difference OF
travel on railroads in Europe and
America: eft was at the station OF
Bingen on the Rhine. I said to the
station master, why is your train a
half hour late?' The station master
said, I don't know We'll, 1 said
to him, Il am the President Of the
New York Central Railroad, and if
you were station master at Peekskill,
on our line, would discharge you in
twenty minutes if you did not know
why the train was half hour late.
Well, said the station master, I dell
you vat is de matter nit your railroad
men over dere; you are always going
chook, chook, chook; over here We let
dings take care of demselves and We
live forever -"
But Mr.. Depew adds that, so far as
the handling of trains, safety and
speed are concerned, the American
railways are far superior to those Of
Europe. York Herald.

wisdom for our ignorance. As we seek to
be blessing to others, may we receive the
mind that was In Christ Jesus. Bless US In
our home life on this day Of rest. May we
be drawn together in closer fellowship as
family. May our love become deeper, ten

ship. May thy blessing rest on those who
shall preach thy word and upon all who
shall assemble for divine service. Amen.

skirts were very short. Her feet were
in moccasins, and over her shoulders
was a fur robe. The hood was of
bearskin. This all made a most heavy
garment, but she heroically trudged
along with her husband, averaging
about fifteen miles each day. They
reached Forty Mile Creek a year ago
in June, three months after they were
married. They called it their we'd
ding trip.
Klondike was still a good way off,
and it was thought at first that the
claims closer at hand would pay. One
day miner came tearing into the set
tlement with most wonderful tales of
the region further on. His descrip-
tions were like fairy tales from 'Arab
ian Nights s"--accounts fitting actually
the scenes in spectacular plays, where
the nymph or queen of fairy land bids
her slaves to pick up chunks of gold
as big as the crown of hat Berry
told the tale to his wife. She said she
would stay at the post while he went
to the front. There was no rest in
the camp that night. Men were rush
ing pell NELL, bent on nothing but get
ting first into the valley of the Klon-
dixie and establishing claims. Mrs.
Berry worked with her husband with
might and main, and before daylight
he was on the road over the pass.
There were fifty long miles between
him and fortune, and he worked with
out sleep or rest to beat the great
field which started with him. He
made the track in two days: He was

Eccentric Provisions For Death.

DR.. and Mrs. Thayer, of Framing
ham, Mass, had their collins made ac'
cording to their own designs. For
long time the two coffins were finished
and exhibited before either the doctor
or his wife died. 1t took ten years to
finish the work on the caskets, which
were of carved rosewood, beautifully
ornamented with silver. They cost
$4,000 apiece. The doctor died two
wears before his wife did, but she had
his body placed in an ordinary coffin
and went on exhibiting the rosewood
coffins and delivering especial lectures.
She died not long ago, and left money
for the building Of an elaborate mar.

Cbrist's Gift One of Peace.

The breath OF summer is the voice Of
Christ-"Come We apart and rest awhile. "
So He said to His disciples-so He said to
US. 1t is His invitation to communion. He
does not say, $50 ye apart" but alway.
"Come." The resting Is to be with Him.
How many make that invitation the ideal Of
vacation-a resting with Christ? How many
take care to have Christ with them and to
rest in His loving presence? Yet that alone
is true refreshing. The mountains bring
peace-but Christ's gift OF peace Is sweeter
far. The broad stretches OF lake and river
afford sweet solitude, but Christ's voice on
the water adds a new charm. And the best
of it is that We can have this communion
with Him wherever We are.-Rev. George A.
PAUL.

from one end of the gulch to the other,
always keeping his shrewd eye open
for a chance to fix a claim of his own.
There was slum in the prospects of
the district and he concluded to go
back to the world.
The slump was not the only reason.
There was young woman back in
Fresno who had promised to be his
wife. Berry came from the hidden
world without injury and Miss Ethel
D. Bush kept her pledge. They were
married.
Berry told his bride about the posi-
bilities of Alaska. She was a girl Of
the mountains. She said she had not
married him to be q drawback, but a
companion. If he intended or wanted
to go back to the Eldorado, she pro-
posed to 60 with him. She reasoned
that he would do better to have her ut
his side His pictures of the dangers
and the hardships had no effect upon
her. 1t was her duty to face as much
as he was willing to face. They both
decided it was worth the try-success
at bound rather than years Of COM
mon toll. Berry declared he knew ex-
actly where he could find fortune.
Mrs. Berry convinced him that she
would be worth more to him in his
venture than any man that ever lived.
Furthermore, the trip would be a
bridal tour which would certainly be
new and far from the beaten tracks Of
signing lovers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berry reached Juneau
fifteen months ago. They had but lit
tie capital. but they had two hearts
that were full of determination. They
took the boat to Dyea, the head of
navigation. The rest of the distance
and distances in Alaska are long

Alaska wonderful stories of rewards
for men brave enough to run fierce
ride with death from starvation and
cold. He had nothing to lose and all
to gain. He concluded to face the
dangers. His capital was $40. He
proposed to risk it all-not very much
to him now, but mighty sight three
years ago. It took all but S. to get
him to Juneau. He had two big arms,
the physique of giant and the courage
of an explorer. Presenting all these
as his only collaterals, he managed to
squeeze loan of $50 from man who
was afraid to go with him, but was
willing to risk little in return for a
promise to pay back the advance at
fabulous rate of interest.
Juneau was alive with men three
years. ago who had heard from the In
dians the yarns of gold without limit.
The Indians brought samples of the
rock and sand and did we'll in trading
them. A party of forty men banded
to go back with the Indians. Berry
was one of the forty. Each had an
outft-a years mess of frozen meat
and furs. It was early spring when
this first batch of prospectors started
put over the mountains and the snow
WIS as deep as the cuts in the sides of
the hills. The natives packed the
stuff to the top of the Chilcoot Pass.
It was life and death every day. The
men were left one by one along the
cliffs.
The timid turned back. The whole
outfit of supplies went down in Lake
Bennett. The forty men had dwin-
died to three-Berry and two others.
The others chose to make the return
trip for more food. Berry wanted
gold. He borrowed a chunk of bacon
and pushed on. He reached Forty

A well-Kept Diary.

Not long ago. In Europe, q man died at
the age Of seventy-three. who began at the
age Of eighteen to keep diary, which he
continued to keep for ffty-two years. It
Is now published and is q most striking
commentary on the life Of q mere world
ling. His life was not conseorated to
high ideal. In the book he left he states
that in flfty-two years he had smoked 62S.-
715 cigars, of which he had received 49,,
692 as presents, while for the remaining
5S5, ,O29' he had paid about s10, ,43S. In fifty
two years, according to his bookkeeping,
he had drank 2S, 1856 glasses Of beer, and 49,
O85 glasses Of spirits, for which he spent
$3.50.
The diary closes with these words: II
have tried all things; have seen many;
have accomplished nothing" A stronger
sermon could not be preached than to put
this testimony against that Of the mission.
