Senator Pettus' ProDhecy,

This is a story that an Albanian
tells about Senator Pettus and ex-Sena-
tor Pugh: During Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration Mr.. Pettus was
anxious to fill the place On the supreme
court bench to which Senator Lamar
was afterward appointed. He applied
to his friend Senator Pugh, and the
latter made an earnest and sincere ap-
peal for the appointment Of Mr.. Pettus.
The president inquired as to the age Of
Pettus, and when informed said he was
too old. Senator Pugh communicated
this fact to Pettus, and also suggested
to another eminent but younger lawyer
IN his state to apply for the place, as it
was a settled fact that a southern man
would surely succeed to the vacancy.
Senator Pettus heard Of Senator Pugh's
letter to the other friend, and it made
him mad. Coming to Washington. he
called on Pugh and asked him why he
did not stand out for him. Pugh ex-
planned that Mr.. Cleveland would not
alter his determination about not ap.
pointing a man Of Pettus' age, but this
did not satisfy Pettus. Before leaving
Pugh Pettus said. We'll. l may be too
old to sit On the supreme bench of the
land, but ! am not too old to sit in the
senate. and your seat will just about it
me. Pettus was as good as a prophet.
He succeeded Senator Pugh on the 4th
of March last, and if I am not mistaken
occupies the identical seat which Pugh
occupied during a former term. Senar
tor Pugh was ~ last December. Sena-
tor Pettus is 76. "-Washington Post

As @ Tribune representative was s~trolllng
ebout town the other day, looking up items
Of news, he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed
SO far Us lay in their power. The cura.
tive powers of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked OF, when Mr.. Falkner. a clerk in the
store, mentioned that Mis-. Joseph Moore was
a firm believer in their efficacy Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune MAJ paid Mrs Moore
q visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado. Squire Moore and his
amiable wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire Is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their slXtieth mile
post and his wife, Ann, is q fitting compan-
Ion, one of those pleasant faced. agreeable
ladies, who make you feel perfectly at home
when in their company This happy couple
were born in the same nelghborhood. o. the
West Riding. OF York, England. in 1920: the
husband a few weeks his wite's senlo, and
for over fifty years they nave travelled the
pathway of life together. In lSlS they emf
grated to this country and settled 10 Derby,
Conn.,, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there Mr., Moore. who was
highly respected by his %neighbors, was elect.
ed a member of the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been q constant reader OF the New
York Tribune, and was an ardent admire.
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and q firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section OF northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice of the Peace, an Office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The newsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
stated that her health commenced failing
several years age but like a great many wOm-
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning Of the
name sickness in relation TO herself. She
refused medical attendance or treatment OF
any kind, barring :hat which she drew upon
from the family pharmacopnia or dispensary.
Using Mrs. Moorc's language: For four
years I was miserable, hardly a week passed
during that time but what ! suffered from
extreme lassitude. The least e%xertion fa-
tigued me. At times when I would be sew
ing or reading, l would he troubled with

Leading Cuban Comments on the Assas-

WASHINGTON, Aug. lO.-Colonel A.
A. Aguira, who is stopping in Washing
ton, says: ''The assassination of Cano-
vas will result in the dethronement Of
the Spanish government and the free
dom OF Cuba. The people of Spain are
ripe for a revolution, being discontinued
over the high taxation which grinds
them down to poverty, and in some
cases to starvation. This is the begin
ming Of the revolutionary movement,
and is connected with the recent at
tempt on the life of the queen.
"There is great dissatisfaction over the
result Of the war in Cuba and to remove
Canovas was the object Of well laid
plans. I am certain that Canovas will
be succeeded by Sagasta, his political
rival and the leader of the Liberal
party. Sagasta will undoubtedly take
immediate steps to conciliate the Gu
bans by granting them reforms, but it
will be too late. l expect to see Cuba
free within 80 days and the republic OF
Spain established soon afterwards

KAISER AMI CAR.

Emperor William the s.uest at an I'm

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. lO.-At the
state banquet given by the Russian en-
peror and empress to Emperor William
and Empress Augusta Victoria, En-
peror Nicholas, toasting his imperial
guests, said: ''The presence of your
majesties among Us causes me a very
lively satisfaction. / desire sincerely to
thank you for the visit, which is a
fresh manifestation of the traditional
bonds uniting us and the good relations
SO happily established between our two
neighboring empires. 1t is, at the
same time, a precious guarantee Of the
maintenance Of the general peace.
which forms the object Of our constant
efforts and our most fervent wishes"
The Kaiser Talks Peace.
Emperor William shortly afterward
raised his glass to his host and said:
Il thank your majesties with a warm
heart, speaking also for the empress,
for the cordial and magnificent recep.
ton you have accorded us, and for the
gracious words your majesties have SO
aff%ectionately welcomed us. Founded
upon the unsuitable basis of your maj
esty's unalterable resolution to keep
your people i'll peace in the future as i'll
the past, it finds in me the gladdest
echo. Thus, we will pursue the same
paths and strive unitedly, under the
blessings Of peace, to guide the intel
lectual development Of our people. l

Use anew in the hands Of your majesty,
and l know l have the support Of my

at your majesty's side with my whole
strength in the
Great Work of Preserving the Nations,
and l will give your majesty my strong
est support against anyone who may
attempt to disturb or break this peace.

jesty."
The sentence in which Emperor Will
liam pledged Emperor Nicholas his sup
port against any attempt to break the
peace of the nations was spoken in
Russian.
Emperor William and the empress
arrived at the landing stage at II a. M,

INVASION OF WASHINGTON.


Admiral Cockburn's British Soldiers Loot
ed and Fired the Public Buildings.
1.-THE last glimmer of twilight was
fading away when (after the battle at
Bladensburg. two miles distant from
Washington) into the we'll nigh desert
ed city rode the redoubtable Cockburn
at the head of his band Of marauders, ="
writes Clifford Howard in The Ladies'
Home Journal of the invasion and burn
ing Of our national capital by the Brit
ish forces under Admiral Cockburn in
August, 1914. "Elated at their decisive
victory over a force nearly twice as
large as their own and thirsting for
spoils, the red coated soldiers marched
triumphantly toward the capitol. Dis
charging their firearms at the windows,
the soldiers burst in the doors and with
a shout of triumph carried their leader
to the speakers chair, from which, with
mock gravity, he put the question,
Shall this harbor of the Yankee democ-
racy be burned?' A yell Of affirmation
rang through the ball, and without fur
ther preliminaries papers and other
combustibles were piled under the desks
and set on fire. In q few minutes this
noble edifice that had been in curse Of
construction more than 20 years and
containing the library of congress and
vast quantities of official documents Of
great historical value was destroyed.
Nov thoroughly aroused to their
work of plumber, q bowling crowd Of
the desperate marauders hurried to the
White House in the hope perchance Of
capturing the president and his wife.
Finding the house locked and deserted,
they battered down the doors, and, con-
selling themselves for the loss of their
distinguished captives by q ruthless de-
struction Of the furniture, they raided
the larder and RECALLED themselves with
a hastily prepared feast in the state
dining room. Then, destroying the re-
naming provisions and breaking and
mutilating whatever they could readily
lay their hands on, they concluded their
visit by setting fire to the home of the
president. Numerous other public and
private buildings we're also destroyed
BY fire"
