Newsboys Of Fame.

Nearly forty years ago the New
York Childrens' Aid society took
charge of small street wait pamed
Andy Burke. He had been selling
newspapers, but the society sent
him west to grow up with the coun-
try. He succeeded SO we'll that ne
was made Governor Of North Qa-
kota some five or six years ago.
The ''silver tongued orator" OF
Connecticut was a newsboy at the
Grand Central depot in New York
when he attracted the attention OF
a gentleman named Waller and his
wife. who took the lad home with
them, giving him their name and
him. He is now Thomas
N. Waller, q well.known lawyer, and
has been Governor Of, the Nutmeg
State"

decades was q great power in New

Paid the Death Penalty.

The murder OF. Pearl Bryan IA
months ago, was avenged at New
port, KY, last Saturday by double
hanging. Scott Jackson and Alonzo
NJ. Walling were executed at II IA
A. NJ. from the same scaffoid. There
was double trap, but only one lever
and when Sheriff PIummer pulled
the lever both dropped at the same
instant. Walling, however, fingered
a moment longer than Jackson. The
neck of neither one was broken,
and both struggled hard in the pro
cess of strangulation.
Both men were nervy to the last,
and on the gallows protested their
innocence and died with their Sc
crets, so that it may never be known
what was done with the head of
Pearl Bryan, or where she lodged
the two nights previous to her MUIR
der, or what part each took 10 the
decapitation, or whether others were
iiuPiiCdtou'
Both men walked firmly to the
scaHoid. and both stood with bowed
heads while saying their prayers.
WalGng's eyes were closed in prayer
and Jackson's were open. When
Pastor Lee finished his prayer Jack
son and Walling bid him farewell.
The minister at the conclusion of
the service on the scaffold was SO
overcome that it was necessary to
carry him away.
The remains of Scott Jackson
were secretly cremated the same
evening. The ashes were taken from
the creamatory Sunday morning,
when they were placed in an urn and
Theoretically sealed. His mother
and sister, Mrs. DR.. Post, took charge
of the urn, and departed the next
day for their home in Greencastle,
Ind. The urn, with it's contents.
weighed five pounds. Mrs. Jackson
said she would keep it at her home.
The body Of Alonzo Walling was re-
moved to Mt. Carmel and inferred
in the family lot in the cemetery.

The Champion Arrives.

March 2lst.-Robert Fitzsimmons ac-
com panied by bis wife and Fitzsimmons
Jr., arrived on the overland flyer ut 8:45
o'clock last evening.
Many of Fitzsimmons' friends crossed
the bay to await the arrival Of the new
champion. -.
The moment that the train stopped a
big crowd of sporting men boarded the
cars to offer congratulations to the cham
pion Of the world, and escort him to the
ferry boat. Fltzsimmons Jr., attired in
dress Of white and bright scarlet, was
carried in his fathers arms followed by
Mrs. Fi,zsimnlons and maid. 49,
The hero Of Carson talked freely Of
himself, his plans, aud his late antagonist
when questioned by Chronicle reporter
In fact, be was almost too frank in his dis
course at times to suit Mrs. FItzsimmons.
"For the present." he. said, ''my only
plans are to remain in San Francisco
Until Mr. Julian arrives I do not know
what shall do. For one thing, have
determined to give up fighting. 1 may
give some sparring contests, but I'm done
hghting."
Corbett has announced his intention to
call upon you, Oner you congratulations
and ask you to tight him once more."
"The deuce he has" said FitzsimmoDs,
only what he said was more emphatic.
You can tell Mr.. Corbett that be will
be very unwefcome visitor ipterposed

fhe question as to who will pre-
side in, the White House, its mistress
being an Invalid, has been definitely
set at rest. Mrs. Mckinley has an
nouced that she herself will perform
all the duties that have. devolyed
upon other Presidents wives unless
.he unforeseen should happen. Her
silmsnt consists chiefly in the par
tial paralysis of one leg, which
causes no pain or even much bodily
weakness-simply some difficulty
in moving about. Otherwise she is

The Woman In tho Case.

When it is reported from Wash
ington that the man selected for
Ambassador to Germany cannot be
appointed because his wife and the
wife of Senator from his State
are bitter enemies, and that an Ohio
candidate for Assistant Secretary of
State, though favored by the Presi.
dent is debarred for similar reason,
we ::haye reminder of the good
old times, when pretty Peggy Eato n
wrecked .Jackson's Cabinet and
changed the course of history.
There was nothing surprising
about it then nor is there now.
For whether Dr. Lyman Abbott be-
lieves in Genesis and the Garden
of Eden or not, it Is fact that
lovely woman has been changing
the course Of history since the very
beginning of it. =. ....,
+. In the current number of one of
the magazines Mrs. Lincoln is rep
resented as motherly, unsophisti.
Gated little Western housewife,
shrinking on her way to Washing
ton from the criticism of lefty
folks" As a matter of fact she
was a woman of the kind who make
men great. Before marrying Mr..
Lincoln she said she intended to
make him President, and she did.
His biographer and best friend in
Inmates that she did it by making
him so restless at home that he was
obliged to give up his taste for do
nestle happiness and seek greatness
instead. But, as every one knows.
Mrs. Lincoln's temper was a result
of disease, and she is not to be
blamed for it. ....
She is far from being the only
woman of her time who did more
to make history than most men.
The wife of Andrew johnson, who
taught him to- write, was another
P resident-maker. 1t was woman
VINO sent Samuel houston into exile

mons takes no Joy in the championship

At the same time he expresses no sympa-
thy FOR Corbett beyond hoping that he
enjoys his new position in society.
II thought he lost his voice when l
jabbed him in the vitals, but he seems

Fitzsimmons, after q pause.
A carriage was in waiting as the party
stepped off the boat, and they were
driven to the Baldwin hotel where an
elegant suit of rooms had been reserved
for them. The apartments were hung with
roses and vi0lets intertwined with fes-

the upper staircase was an arch bearing
the words 'Weicome to the Champion.
There is a rumor about town that an
agreement was made prior to The hght by
Corbett and FitzslMmons and the kineto

ten rounds of fighting. AT the ringside
when the tenth round was completed II
IS knnwn that a number of men who were
supposed to he on the inside showed an
extraordinary increase uf interest in the
mill aud from that time until Its termi
nation they seemed to look for real, gen
uine fighting. There are some-Cerbett
supporters-who think that, in the sixth
round, when Fitzsimmons was Knocked
around the ring, Jim" might have fol-
lowed up bis advantage and there ended
the battle. Under their breath these men
whisper about kaleidoscope agreement
and charge Corbett's hesltancy to that.
The Fitzsimmons enthusiasts scout all
such allegations They in turn claim
that "Fitz" merely waited for the oppor
tunity which did not arrive until the
fourteenth round.
1t is said that for assuring at least ten
rounds of fighting Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons each received $12,500 and the win
ner is to receive Is per cent of the profits.
This it is claimed would compensate the
fighters for holding off ten rounds.
Corbett and Brady are still after Fitz-
simmons after him, that is to cay, in a
mild, unobtrusive kind of way that does
not contemplate the leaping of five barred
gates to get at him. They were within
