SON, after less than year OF extrava-
gance and dissipation. He had usurped
the prerogative Of youth He had
sown the wild oats at time when other
men are mediating upon the tomb. He
turned from miser to spendthrift, from
model husband to undutiful rake. from
recluse to man of the world, though
he already had one foot In the grave.
He was the most prominent man in rs
town, was appointed its postmaster
soon after President MeKinley's inau-
guration, and he sacrificed all for a
woman.
Whence came John d. Mallary no
one really knew. He had sold tickets
in Dan Rice's circus. somebody said,
and others tried by his accent to trace
his origin to Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Amy way. he arrived In Marion county,
Missouri, Just after the war, with a
wife and $4,000. The good people at
the four corners got the idea that he
had made 1t a-sutlering with the army,
but he never would admit II. Instead,
he often used to say that he laid the
foundation for his snug little fortune
by buying up mutilated fractional cur
rency at a discount and getting full
value for 1t from the government. NAL
larry was uncouth and illiterate. He
had little education and no culture. But
he had native wit; he could crack Jokes
with homely. dry humor. He knew
how to save his money. The handful of
country folk at Emerson, where he set
tied, soon found that out This little
place was ten miles from Palmyra, the
only decent sized town in the section.
Mallary started store at Emerson. 1t
was hardly more than a shed and the
house that he built beside 1t was not
much better. He got the name Of being
the stingiest man in the county. He
refused to accept smooth, worn coins,
but demanded new money. He never
gave anything to anybody. He always
paid his debts. and held his debtors to
the same iron-clad rule, from which not
moments delay was allowed. They
still tell a story in Marion coun y about

child. The father was a poor man.

Filipina asserts that an atemst was
made to poison Aguinaldo on Friday
night. A steward, it is alleged, saw a

Which appeared like tampering with q
bowl of soup intended for Aguinaldo.
Whereupon the steward tasted a spoon
full Of the soup and fell dead.
Eleven Franciscan friars are alleged
to have been engaged in the con-
spiracy. The populace, it is further
said, attempted to lynch all the Span
ism prisoners, but Aguinaldo inter-
vened.
AT Saturdays session of the national
assembly, it appears. Aguinaldo was
absent, but his representative related
the story of the outrage to the. mem
hers, who unanimously adopted the
chalrman's proposal that they ali 90

Death of the Daughter OF the Com
fedcracy. 5s s.
Narragansett Pier, r. l., Sept. 20
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter OF Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, died at noon yester-
day at the Rockingham hotel, to which
place she came as a guest in the early
part of the Piers social season. She,
had been i'll for several weeks, and a
fortnight ago her ailment was dag
nosed as malarial gastritis. At times
her condition became serious. so that
consultations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but frequent rallies
gave renewed hope that she would ulti-
4matly recover. During the past week
especially was her condition considered
favorable, and it was thought that her
removal from the hotel would be pos
sible in a few days, as the hotel had
closed for the season, leaving the pa
tient and attendants practically alone
in the house. Last night, however, a
relapse in Miss Davis condition was
noticed, and throughout the night she
lost strength perceptibly. This morn
ing the physicians said that the end
was not far off, and at noon death
came to end the sufferings, which at
times had been intense. Mrs. Davis
had watched unremittingly at her
daughters bedside, and she is now
bowed with sorrow. The physicians Of
Mrs. Davis report that she is holding
up with great calmness in her aftiiction
and no fears are at present entertained
Of her health yielding to the strain.N
