A Negro Who Got Angry Be-
cause He Did Not Get a Letter.
The Republican postmaster at
Clayton recently had a taste OF
the insolence OF the negro that
his party has been and is assert
ing does not exist. Duncan IS
the name oi the postmaster and
his daughter, Miss Duncan at
tends to the office. Horace
Baucom, a negro who gets his
mail at the Office, came in the
other day and asked if there was
a letter for him. On being told
by Miss Duncan that there was
nothing he grew angry and
seemed to consider it the fault Ct
the postmistress that he failed
to get rny mail. He grumbled
for a while and finally grew so
insulting that a white man who
happened to be IN the store
where the postoA6ce is Kept
could stand it no longer and
kicked Baucom out of the house
following up the election with
a good thrashing. All o. which
goes to show that others beside
Democrats suffer from the fruits
of fusion rule.

of Mr.. Bayard.

The many beautiful flowers
which were placed on the casket
containing Tie remains Of Hon.
Thomas +. Bayard, aEi which
were subsequently placed Oh his
tomb in the Old SWedes Ceme~
terry, were not there last evening,
and their present location is a
mystery. AS soon as the funeral
party left the tomb, the people
who had crowded the ohurcllyard
helped themselves to the embles,
and at 6 o'clock not a leaf Ie~
manned on the tomb. Sexton

he returned to the tomb an hour
later it was bare.
The police authorities will
make an effort to locate the
flowers and punish the possess
ors for trcspasslng on tie pros

Friends of Mr.. Bayard's family
are very much grieved to know
that people sunk SO low as to
steal the mute embles OF sympa
thy, and to~keep them as souve>
Mrs OF such a sorrowful occasion.
Every effort will be made to
bring to justice every man or
woman who was SO destitute of
of self>respect as to deprive the
tomb OF the beauties Of nature.

the bodies of all the soldiers of
the American army who died in

RIGHTS OF MINOR PENSIONERS
Decision Affecting Children of Re-
married Soldiers Widows

Assistant Secretary Of the Interior
Webster Davis yesterday rendered
decision of considerable Importance as
it affects the rights of minors with
reference to the time of commencement
of pension under section of the act
of June q, 1880. The case is that of
the children of David S. Sharer late
private in Company G, One Hundred
and Seventeenth Ohio Infantry 1t ap-
pears that the widow was pensioned
under the act of June q, 1890, at the
rate of six dollars per month commenc-
ing July 16, 1890. and two dollars per
month additional for each of three
children. The widow remarked Nav
II, 1895, and all pension then ceased
On March Is. 1897, the widow, as guar
dian, filed claim on behalf of her
children for minors pension. In the
decision. which is quite lengthy AS
sistant Secretary Davis says, in part:
''As the act does not grant pension to
minors in express terms, but only by
Implication, it makes no express pro-
vision for the commencement of such
pension; but inasmuch as all other
classes of pensions provided for by said
act are made to commence from the
date Of application therefor, after the
passage of the act and there is no
where manifest an intent to establish

fled at the hearing that he handed Theon
$500 on gold basis and presented Hypa tia
with diamond iewelry in recognition OF
the tip. Mrs Foster was soon afterward
wearing tie 5eweiry. and the couple i'm
mediately left Chicago. Fosters defense
was that spirits did not need .jewelry,

different date of commencement for
minors pensions, / am of the opinion
that the same rule was intended to
apply to them. This has been the rule
in cases where no widow survived the
soldier and ] can see no good reason
why IL should not also be the rule in
cases where there was widow. The
minors are required to make an appli-
cation in the latter class of cases as
well as in the former. Their applica-
ton is not for a continuance of the
widows pension. but for an original
grant to them Of a minors pension; and
in support OF such application they
must furnish proof that the widows
title is extinct.

tinue during his life or disability. This,
being a later provision of the law. must
prevail if there is any repuguance be-
tween it and the preceding general
grant to minors as joint pensioners.
II am, therefore, of the opinion that
an insane, idiotic or otherwise perma-
nently helpless child under sixteen
years of age who is pensioned jointly
with minors does not lose his share in
the joint pension on arriving at the
age of sixteen, but is entitled 10 the
same in Ike manner as if he were still
under that age. In contemplation Of
law he is still a minor
Therefore, where one or more minors

section 3, act of June q, 1890, must
commence from date of application
therefor.
Another question to be considered
relates to payments in case one or more
of several minor children are insane
idiotic, or otherwise permanently help
less. Both the old law and the act of
June q, 1890, pension the minor chill
dren jointly, where there are two or
more. and when one dies, or reaches
the age of sixteen, his joint interest
goes to the others. But the proviso to
section 3 of the act of June q. 1890.
says that in case a minor is insane,
idiotic or otherwise permanently help
less the pension q. e. the pension he
receives as a minor which, if there are

a WOMAN'S GREAT LOVE
PITIFUL LETTER LEFT BY MRS. GEO.
KOEHNE FOR HER HUSBAND.
Theory that the Lines May Have Been
Written While the Woman
Was Dying.

Coroner Brayton investigated the suicide
of Mrs. George w. Koehne yesterday and
found verdict of death by hanging He
says he could detect no signs of poison,
though no autopsy was held or special eff
fort made in that direction. "A letter left
by the unfortunate woman indicates that
she may have first taken poison and per-
haps penned the lines while she was under
the influence of the drug, afterward hang
ing herself. The letter was found scrubbed
on the margin of a large cabinet photo
graph of her husband, under a couch which
sets in the room. 1t is as follows:
George want to die looking at your
picture. 1t is now fifteen minutes of IL
o'clock. and I am getting awfully weak
| can hardly write. Be good man. l only
love you Can hardly give you up, but think

money TO come on. Treat her nice l hope

that you really loved me- Now, George, be

l don't know If you can read this or not.
am so weak. Goodbye, forever Keep me
two days and two nights before you put
me away. Your dying SUNSHINE"
The fact that the photograph was found
under the sofa might indicate that it was
written on the couch, where she lay down
to die before she made up her mind to hang
herself. In her room was found some jew
elry and a letter addressed to Miss Ef1e
Leighton, Greenville, o., which it is sup
posed was the girls true maiden name and
address. This letter was dated Sept. 8, at
Council Bluffs, Ia, and was signed by a
sister of the dead woman. 1t is said that
another sister lives in this city. The mother
of the girl arrived from the Ohio town yes
terday and viewed the body of her daugh-
ter at the Adam & Krieger undertaking es-
adjustment No arrangements have been
made in regard to the funeral in the hopes
of hearing from the husband.

lance and then stopped. Almost instantly
the trailer crashed into it. and those on
the rear platform were badly shaken up.

great violence. and, according to the COM

Baseball Notes.

The Kansas City Journal has been flying
a pennant at the head of it's baseball COL
umn. but after the games of Wednesday
the cut will probably be shelved until next
week, or, possibly, for good.
The Blues will be pretty nervous Sunday
when they tackle Indianapolis for the Sc
ries that will decide their fate. They have
tried so many years for the pennant and
have so much at stake this season that
when it comes to q head finish they are
likely to so into the air from overanxiety,
if nothing else.
John CAMEL belongs to the Pittsburg
club and Watkins has ordered him to re-
port as soon as Detroit finishes the season.
To fill the vacancy, Stalings has pur-
chased First Basemar Slater of the Read
ing club, in the Atlantic League, so the
Tigers will have a first baseman they can
call their own next spring, but it is a ques-
ton whether he will be fast enough for the
Western League.
The following from the State Journal, of
Columbus, O., will show the feeling against
the Indianapolis team existing over there:
THE fans all like to see the Senators win,
but If ever the loss of games was passed
over lightly, it was those of Tuesday, when
the Blues took both games OF a double
header. For ninety-nine out of every hun
dred like to see Brushism receive a set
back and as the Blues are the only ones
who have a chance to beat the Cincinnapo-
lis aggregation out, it was really hoped
that the Columbus team would meet with
reverSeS in Kansas City"
