LOST ITS CHARM.
Life Had Become a Burden to
Eveline Lynch.

The watchman at the steamboat land
ing saved EveIihe Lynch from a wat
cry and an untimely grave last night.
1t was near that witching hour when
churchyards are alleged to yaWn, etc,
that the watchman saw a graceful fe-
male form gliding through the shad-
ows of piles Of potatoes in the freight
sheds and heading toward the rivers
bank. He suspected that some mem-
Der of the half-world, who drew the
line at the blistering carbolic acid, had
set out to drown her woes-and all that
was left of her-in the river that rolled
by with the (electric) light on its
breast" so he followed and intercepted
her before she could take the fatal leap.
The girl was taken to the Police sta
ton and locked up. She appeared to
be either simple or under the influence
of liquor or some drug-probably lit
tie of each-but would not give the
officers any explanation of her con-
duct. The supposition was that she
had quarreled with her male parasite.
She is a waitress in a downtown resort.

chAned together and herded out in
the street something after the style
Of herGing a drove Of cattle while be-
ing driven through the streets of city.
Four or five men, with long black
snake whips and armed with revOlvers,
kept constant watch to see that none
escaped. The drivers, as they were
termed, used coarse and brutal lam
guage toward the negroes whenever
one happened to commit any infraction
of the orders of their master. The ne
groes We're ordered to answer no ques-
tions asked of them, or to speak to
anyone without permission.
The novelty of the scene attracted not
only those who had never witnessed a
revolving sight of the kind before, but
those who We're hardened to such
scenes, and looked on as cOmplacently
as if it were a drove of cattle being sent
to market Their various marketable
qualities We're discussed and commented
upon. and the price they would bring
in a Southern market, it was declared
would make slave breeding in Missouri
very profitable.
Those who came from the North, and
had previously read descriptions of
slave auctions, and witnessed the scenes
portrayed in Uncle Toms Cabin" re-
newed their adherence and disgust for
an institution that made chattels OF
human flesh, even though it was black.
In the countenance of each slave could
plainly be seen that some of the under
current of dread was uppermost in his
mind Most of them knew that their
condition in the cotton fields of Lou1s1-
ana ard Mississippi would be far diff
ferent from that on the farm in jack
son County In the South they would
be subject to greater toll and less care
would be taken of their general COM
fort, while the rations of hOe-cake and
hominy would SAVIOR less of the good
things of their former masters table.
After being placed on board the boat
at the foot of Main street, and after 1t
pushed out into the current of the river,
they We're unclaimed and permitted to
scatter around the lower deck They
gave yell of good-by to those on shore
and took a last and lingering look at
the bluffs of the city. which, perhaps,
they never saw again.
It was a poor speculation for Nc
Daniels. He returned to Kansas City
several months afterward bankrupt.
His property was sold under the ham
mer; he left the city and went to Atch-

WHEAT PRICES SHOW A DE-
FTINE AT CHICAGO.
Result of the Enormous Receipts
and the Weakness of
Gable Reports.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21-Declines Of
11k011Ac marked the opening in wheat,
December which closed yesterday at
S25sc, opened to-day from 91%4 Q9l9sc,
and was quoted at 91l4c almost imme-
diately after This was the natural
result of the enormous receipts at Chi
cago and at the Northwest points, and
the weakness Of cables Minneapolis
and Duluth received !, ,924 cars, against
] 691 Tuesday a week ago, and 9O3 the
CORRESPONDING day of the year before.
Chicago received 80 cars, against 3ff
a week ago. and 353 the corresponding
day OF the previous year.
OF to-days receipts at Chicago only
five car loads We're deliverable upon
contracts for December that have been
entered into since the exclusion of No.
2 spring from the regular speculative
grade. That was about the only fea-
ture Of the situation to restrain spot
selling. that would otherwise, in the
temper Of the crowd, have been very
heavy.
Liverpool opened I'D lower and by
3:3O o'clock it had got down to 1$sd
below the price it closed at yesterday.
Paris was 10 centimes lower at the
T.,
generally very discouraging to the
prospect of an immediate advance IN
prices. A cablegram from there SAID
that French grain dealers We're resell
ing American wheat in the English
market. and replacing with Indian
wheat for spring shipment.
Another cablegram said wheat Tor
spriag shipment from India was Of
fered at Is per quarter, or l cent per
busheI, below figures now current.
The London Mark Lane Express
says that although the crop of Russia
is very deficient, there viii still be o.

for shipment from that country.
After the opening decline, the ten
dency for awhile was towards a mia
recovery. The opening was below
.snut' prices. and a good many buyers
came in who had those privileges LOT
protection which caused raIIy ol

before a. halt was called. during the
decline some stop loss orders We're

OLD SLAVE DAYS.
Records of a Florida
County's Archives.

Among the musty records of DuVal
County, in Florida, in the office of z.
D. Cassidey, Clerk of the Circuit Court,
are many interesting old documents
once of more or less Importance, says
the Jacksonville Times Union
One of the most unique papers is an
old deed, made on parchment, by which
Fort Georgia Island was conveyed
from Zephaniah Kingsley to George
Kingsley in consideration of ten years
hard service, love and affection and
SO. The deed is dated July TO- 1881
before Florida was a State. In this
deed all chattels are conveyed to the
grantee and in this lot of goods were
a large number of slaves, with peculiar
names. Solomon and his wife, Juno
and Munsilla McGundo and her daugh-
ter Fatima, a name frequently used in
the dime novel of to-day and usually
attached to some tigress-like woman.
The grantor in this case seemed to
have a soft spot in his heart for the
slave Fatima, and made special st1pu-
lations as to her care and disposition
in the future The remains of the old
slave huts on Fort George Island can
be seen to-day, and they form an arc
in the rear of the old mansion. In front
of the homestead site is a long ave-
nue. of palms easily distinguished by
the regularity of the trees planted by
the owners of the island when it was
settled and cultivated. The entire
place is now covered with underbrush
and is said to be a favorite habitation
of the venomous rattler. Several of
these snakes have been killed on the
island during the past few years.
There is another deed by which fifty
four slaves were conveyed from John
B. LaForge to a second party for the
sum of S270 000 The ages of these
slaves were from 1 year to 10. Many
Of them were females.
There is a deed on the records read
ing as follows: Whereas, I, Samuel
Burlington of the city of Jacksonville,
county of Duval State of Florida, am
Justly indebted to John S. Samuels of
the same county, in the sum of $1,000,
value received, by virtue of certain OBJ
legations bearing even date herewith,
know all men by these presents, that
I. the said Samuel Burlington, have
bargained, sold and conveyed and by
these presents do bargain, sell and con-
vey unto the said John S. Sammis, his
heirs, executors administrators and
assigns, the following-na slaves,
to wit: Bedford, negro man, aged 80;
George, negro man, aged 40 years;
Frank, negro man, aged q years;
Pack negro boy, aged To-" etc. This
deed operated to mortgage the slaves
for the security of the debt of $1,000.
Few deeds of manumission can be
found in the records, but among the
papers of this class is one from George
Fleming to Sukey Fleming, dated July

A Terrible Heredity.

A special study of hereditary drunk
enness has been made by Professor
Pellmann, of Bonn University, Ger
many. His method was to take certain
individual cases, a generation or two
back. He thus traced the careers Of
children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren in all parts of the pres
ent German Empire until he was able
to present tabulated biographies of the
hundreds descended from some original
drunkard. Notable among the per-
sons described by Professor Pellmann
is Frau Ada Jurke, who was born in
1910 and was a drunkard, thief ana
a tramp for the last forty years of her
life, which ended in 1900. Her descen-
dants numbered S34, of whom 709 were
traced in local records from youth to
death. One hundred and six of the
100 were born out of wedlock. There
were IA beggars and 81 more who
lived from charity. OF the women, 1S1
led disreputable lives. There were in
this family 10 convicts, Z of whom
We're sentenced for murder. In a pc
riod of some seventy-five years this
one family rolled up a bill of costs in
almhouses, prisons and correctional in
stitutions amounting to at least 500U,-
600 marks, or about 81 $50, 600.

Our Poet at the Museum.

At a south side museum dad and I
Took in everything that was funny;
We paid dime apiece to get in,
And he wanted the worth of our money
We gazed at the pink-eyed dizzy blonde
With hair so white and WoOlly;
Then paused to view the two-headed
calf
That everyone said was bully.
The snake-charmer had no charms for
me,
But dad liked the timber woman
Who tied herself up in a double knot
Till she looked more snake than hu-
man.
The girl who eat fire was simply great
She swallowed flames without bother
Then from her nose blew a cloud OF
smoke
And the blow almost killed father.
