nothing to me and what | did was be-
cause he was poor orphan boy and |
believed he had been wronged, and |
thought if | could assist him | would
do it. There is no question but from
the very beginning Mr.. Jones meant to
deceive and defraud me out Of the
money, and had no interest in the case,
though he was poor colored orphan
boy, without relatives Or friends All
that Jones seemed to care for was to
satisfy his pecuniary desire. don't
care three straws for the money, but
the manner he treated poor orphan
boy of his own race. Had it been a
white lawyer, would not have been
shocked, but one of my own race it
struck me with astonishment. Know
ing that the path of the professional
Negro is thorny he should deal strictly
honest with his own people in order to
succeed. This small unwarranted act
in Mr.. Jones will add nothing to his
profession but might be stumbling
block to his future career as lawyer.

Dewey victory with bluffness that
may not be sweet to all American ears,
but it may be said that he seldom says
what he does not mean, and he cares
little what the public may think Of his
opinions. Mr.. Halstead is a typical
American. He began his work at 81 a
week and lived in garret, where he
did his own cooking. He was as bold
and audacious a youngster as he is
a fearless and outspoken man. With
an Aladdin-like suddenness he became
the proprietor Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, and at the same time ma
t1onal character. He was reporter, po-
lice reporter, general political reporter,
managing editor and owner. 1t was as
the editor of the Commercial, after
ward the Commercial Gazette, that Mr..
Halstead made his mark. Of recent
years he has lived in the east, and has
devoted himself to newspaper and lit
erary work as a contributor. He is a
free-lance in politics and has seen both
political parties alternate so as to
agree" with his views, always intensely
American. He was a great Blaine man
always. In 1896 he supported Bryan
very warmly. Although the ablest
writer in America he is never regularly
employed on any great paper. He

Tom Paine's Bridge.

A piece of cable recently found in a
historic dwelling at the Falls OF
Schuylkill recalls the first suspension
bridge Of a single arch ever attempted
in this country. The idea originated
with Thomas Paine, ''the great COM
moner of mankind" while he was
spending the summer of 1888 at the
hotel near the falls of Schuykill. The
idea was suggested to him by the
mechanism of spider web, and he be-
gan to work upon plans for an iron
bridge to span the river at that point.
To lay his model before the French
Academy of Science, Paine went to
France in 1887, but that country was
already on the road to revolution, and
had no time for the study Of bridges.
In England Paine forgot his scientific
mission and became absorbed in polit-
ical affairs, which ended with his i'm
prisonment and gave to the world "The
Rights Of Man." but lost to 1t for many
years advanced scientific bridge-build-
ng.-Fniladelphia Record.

Editor Tribune:
In view of the injustice heaped upon
me, in business transaction by Mr..
Paul Jones, practitioner in Kansas
City, KS, am prompted to ask space
through your columns for redress.
About the middle of July, '97, ] went
to Kansas City, KS, the mission of my
visit being to see a counsel, with refer
ence to obtaining a pardon for Edward
McGowan, convicted Of larceny from a
freight car at the November term of
the common pleas court, of Wyandotte
county, Kansas. Being acquainted
with assistant county attorney Brad
ley, sought his Office first. After
had laid the case before him he advised
me to see Mr.. Jones, as he had defend
ed the case at the trial and was entire
ly familiar with it. He gave me Jones
business card and l went imme mediately
to mis- office and found Mr.. Jones there
We proceeded to discuss the case and
to my delight | found he was familiar
with the entire details of the case
This was assurance that he was the
proper man, to select to put in pursuit
of the pardon of Edward MCGOWAN, a
poor innocent colored orphan boy. Un-
fortunately was mistaken as will be
shown further on. Mr.. Jones first re-
mark to me after seeing | was willing
for him to take the case was, ''How
much can you afford to pay?" | said,
Il am not able to say how much | can
pay, but tell me the lowest you will
take it for" Mr.. Jones said $1,000. [
then asked him if this included his ex-
penses to Topeka. He said it would,
as he had another case to look after.
I came home in October. sent him the
money on the 26 of the same month re-
ceived receipt for $l2, the S. being
for the publication notice. This paid
he promised me faithfully he would
have MCGOWAN released. When the
truth of the matter is he got the mon
ey, stuck it down in his pocket and did

SAVES TIME AND HEALTH.
Wanamalxer Is Watched by Physicians
at All Times.

Wanamalker Is Watched by Physicians
at All Times.
To the busy man of affairs every mo-
ment is valuable. Every expedient to
save time is resorted to by men who
make and manage great fortunes and
who are part of the hustling business
world. 1t is not generally known, how
ever, that it is not rare thing for
such men to pay doctor for looking
them up at all sorts of times and see
that they do not break down. There
are several business men in this city
who have this sort of an arrangement,
but John Wanamaker, it is said, was
the first of them to adopt this time
saving and lifesaving scheme. 1t would
appear that the life insurance compa-
nies which have insured Mr.. Wana-
makers life for more than $1,00O,00O
could afford to pay a doctor to look
after him, but they don't Mr.. Wana-
maker never goes to the doctor. The
doctor hunts Mr.. Wanamaker up, and
is responsible for his health. At least,
it used to be so. The physician had
carte blanche to see him upon all oc-
casions. He might come in and look
at him only, or he might ask to see the
great merchants tongue or feel his
pulse, Mr.. Wanamaker was never too
busy to see the doctor, but he was too
busy to look him up, and so the result
has been that the former saves time
and health and the latter gets COM
Portable salary. The plan pays both.

Origin of Certain surnames,

Surnames were introduced into Eng
land by. z Normans and were adopted
by - nobility about 100. The old
Normans used Fitz, which signified
son, as Fitzherbert. The Irish used 0
for grandson-ONeal, O'Donnell. The
Scotch Highlanders used Mac, as Mac
donald, son of Donald. The Welsh
used Ap, as Ap Rhys, the son of Rhys,
Ap Richard. The prefix Ap eventu-
ally was combined with the names Of
the father-hence Prys, Pritchard, etc.
The northern nations added the word
son to the fathers name, as William
son. Many of the most common sur
names, such as Johnson, Wilson, Dy-
son, Nicholson, ETC., were taken by
Brabanters and others, Flemings, who
