An Illustrlous Democrat.

Thomas Francis Bayard, whose death
is chronicled this morning, was an
eminent scion of an illustriOus house
and the best example that the country
has had in late years of the gentle
man in public life. He was distinctly
an ornament to the Democratic party,
and he served his country well. 1t was
said of him by conservative England,
when he resigned the enthusiastically,
His successor will have a hard place
to fill, for he will be compared to Bay
ard"
He was the best type of the Ameri-
can statesman. His convictions were
we'll grounded, but his love of country
was greater even than his beliefs, for,
While engaged in raising troops for the
defense of the Union, he proclaimed
his belief that the war was not juStifia-
bic. This very declaration possibly cost
him the presidency, for, in 1884, when
he was the strongest rival Cleveland
had in the convention, it was used
against him. Mr. Bayard was born
into the senate of the United States, it
might be said. and his family is unique
in the history Of the country, in that
during the first term of T. F. Bayard
in the senate his father was also a
member Of that body.
The dead statesman was a profound
student of international law and earned
worldwide distinction by his services
in connection with the fisheries difficult
ty and the Boring sea contention. His
administration of the office of secretary
Of state did much to uplift the country
and the flag in the estimate of foreign
nations. His illustrious career was
rounded out by a term of service as
minister to the court of ST. James.
He dies in the fullness of years, but
his death carries with it a distinct
loss to the country he served and the
party he honored. His career, which
is more particularly set forth in an
other column, is a fine example of the
fact that the man of high breeding is
yet possible to the political life of this
country

MS appearance at the station and gave the
name Of Frederick Betke, living at S15 Case
street. He is 81 years Old
on Monday Mr.. Betke sold the house and
lou at 900 Farquier street for $3.50 and secured
the entire sum in cash. Yesterday he came
down town and purchased a number of
articles and also was on the lookout for
a house mover. He was referred, by an
acquaintance. to a house mover living at
a certain number on Eighth street MIR.
Betke started up Eighth street, and. as hs
for the number he after. When in front
of 1872 East Eighth street the door was
opened by clolOred who asked Mr.
Betke what he was looking for. He responded
that he was in search of a house mover. The
woman asked him to step in, remarking that
she would see whether a house mover lived
there not She shut the door and while
one went out, seemingly to get the informa-
ton, the other remained in the room with
Mr. Betke. When he entered the place he
said he had $500, what was left Of the $500,
In bills rolled up in three packages. Two
hundred dollars in package and in
the other two was $3.50 each. When he went
through his pockets in front of the court
house he found that he had been robbed of
the larger package.
Officers Hanley and Smith were immediate
ly sent to the house, but the birds had flown.
Shortly after, however, a colOred woman
named Emma Brown, was placed under ar
rest. Detective Wells made the arrest. The
others are being traced. and, it is expected
will be apprehended today in one of the two
cities.
