OLD NEWSPAPER MAN DEAD.
He Wrote the "BIeedinE Kansas" Lett
tcrs to the New York
Times.

Patrick II. Carey. a noted newspaper man
of ante-bellum days, and Il famous stenog-
rapher, died at his home in Brooklyn re-
Gently He first came prominently into no.
tice through his letters to the New York
Times concerning bleeding Kansas.
which he composed while secretary to
Governor Robert j. Walker Before his
connection with the Times he was employed
on the New York Evening Express under
Erastus Brooks and gained a wide acquatn-
tance among well known lawyers and
newspaper men. For a time after his
Kansas experience Mr.. Raymond. editor OF
the Times. had Carey in Washington as
correspondent of that paper. II was
through Carey's work as a Stenegrapher III
the trial of Philip Barton Key that Messrs.
Brady Field and OConnor secured tho
passage of law providing for the ap-
pointment of court stenoGrdphers: Among
the most famous cases reported by carey
were the Goodyear rubber case and the
inuuisition into the sanity OF George Fran
els Train In 1s5g. when Il colonization
scheme was on foot to sell lots in Dakota
to the poor at 81 per acre. MIR. Carey per-
formed a remarkable feat in shorthand
A public meeting was held in Mozart hall
to boom the scheme In the audience was
Archbishop Hughes. The archbishop. in
from becoming victims of the scheme. made
an impassioned speech against it. Mr..
Carey was there only a listener. but ha
took down the speech on scraps or paper,
envelopes and any other material at hand.

was printed in the next mornings papers,
and the colonization scheme was killed.

SMALL HOPE FOR FREE HOMES
Representative Lacey Thinks the
Chance TO Pass the Senate
Bill Is Slim.

Washington. Dec. 29.-(SpeciaD Repre-
sentative Lacey, chairman of the public
lands committee in the house, does not
hold out Il very encouraging prospect or
the passage of the senate free homes hlii.
Personally. he said tonight, he was III Ia
vOr of some such measure, but he thought
the Republicans did not have much cause
to enthuse over the proposed measure
I'VE tried It experimcntally, he said Ito
ohlige eX-Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma.
We provided free homes in Greer county.
The result was that Greer county went
dead against Flynn in the first election
where the voters had Il chance to show
their appreciation" The original Flynn
till. providing for free homes in oklahoma.
he thinks would have had Il show of pass
ing. but, with the senate amendment add
cd. extending the same boon to numerous
other states. including Indian LANDS 10
which tho government has not even ac-
quired full title he is of the opinion that
the bill is too cumbersome and too far
reaching to stand much chance OF iaNof-
able action in the house.
1t will be insisted for the benefit Of Mr..
Lacey that the prospects for booming
mints in Greer county by far outclassed
small fry. free homes business Free homes
WAS free dirt. and what is free dirt COM
pared with free silvcr?'
There were not two sides to this ques-
ton, as all must admit. and no one should
expect the result to have been different. Now.
that free silver" has dropped below free
dirt" of course. free dirt would carry the
day in Greer. And in the meantime there is
nothing mercenary about this. 1t would be
cruel and unjust to suspect the vote of any
man was al all influenced by his welfare on
earth or in heaven. But free dirt hath
not the convincing power OF free silver
evidenced by the returns.
Word has been received here that some
one would be sent here from Oklahoma to
look after the interests of the territory in
congress. AS the territory has no con-
gressional agent 1t is represented that the
hat is being passed around and some people
interested in free homes and other things
are chipping In and some sort of a repreSen-
tative familiar with what is needed, VIII
arrive in due time. He will be sent TO Lacey
at once.

DIR. GILL ION THE CARPET"
Secretary of the kansas Board of
Health Called Upon to An
ayyer Charces.

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 29-tSpeclal) The
state board of health met to-day to con-
slider the charges made against DIR. II. u.
Gill. the secretary by Topeka Pops. Fred
Close represented the complainants. Sec
retary Gill is charged with neglect Of duty.
In the petition asking for his removal. 1t
is charged that he does not stay at the
office and earn his salary. but. on the other
hand. attends to his private practice and
compels his stcnographer to do all the
work; that he is not here even to draw his
salary and that 1t is sent to him: and that
he is, therefore, not a proper person to
hold the position of secretary.
In his answer DR.. Gill enters n general
denial of all charges. When the case was
called this afternoon. DIR. Gill objected to
any proceedings being taken. He said that
the charges were not sworn to. and that
they were not signed by any men who were
financially responsible. He intimated that
he proposed to bring suit for damages
against them. Close argued that the pc
tition did not have to he sworn to. That
the parties whose names We're signed to
the document would give their evidence un-
der oath. So far as being financially re-
sponSible. he said he did not know that in
bleeding Kansas a man had to be n mil
lionarc in order to get the ear of n court
or official board. The hoard decided to go
into details. and continued the case until
tomorrow morning. when evidence will be
taken.
