A RUINED LIFE.
History Of a Battle Against Silent Foe
tBY JOSEPH JEFFERsON.l

Some few weeks ago this celebrated
actor made an address to the 800 con-
vjcts at the state prison in Charles
town, Mass. 1t was an impressive
scene when Mr.. Jefferson stood before
his audience. The men were silent
and attentive, while the actor seemed
visibly affected. In his address, which
was remarkably interesting, he told of
little experience he had while travel,
ing in Australia. He said:
81 had left what l called my hon Q
station and was making an excursion
in the blue gum forest. 1 had gal
loped about twenty miles. Dis
mounting from the horse, sat down
to take a lunch. "A large flock of
cockatoos, those beautiful white par
rots with yellow crests, came circling
around and alighted in the trees over
head. l was watching the curious
maneuvers of these birds as they were
chattering and hopping about among
the limbs, when they stopped suddenly,
as if alarmed. Something was evi
IDENTIFY approaching of which they were
in dread. They set up an awful
scream, and with tremendous f1utter
spread their wings and flew away.
"Just at that moment large black
collie dog came bounding out of the
bushes, and suddenly stopped in front
of me. For a moment was startled.
The dog passed, eyed me keenly; then.
coming slowly up, walked around me
and at last approached and licked my
hand, which had held out to him. He
then ran away.
81 had never seen a dog act in so
singular a manner, and was wondering
what it could mean. when sharp, Joy
full bark, warned me that ne was re-
turning, and, sure enough, he had
come back, wagging his tail, and fol
lowed by the gaunt figure of a man,
thinly clad, barefooted, and with a
wide brimmed, frayed straw hat on his
head. He was about fifty years of age
and, as he removed his hat and made a
we'll hammered, dignitied bow, l could
see that though he was, undoubtedly a
shepherd, he had once been a gentle
man.
Gas he stood bareheaded before me,
the wind blew his long thin, sandy
hair about his brow, and he regarded
me with strange, far-off look in his
eyes. l met several shepherds after
this, and noticed that same strained
expression. They live so much alone
sometimes even three or four months
without seeing human being-that
they form this habit of looking over
the plains, hoping that they may catch
sight of some one to relieve the awful
monotony of their lives.
"The man sat down quietly beside
me and ate sparingly and rather me-
chanically of the lunch, always sharing
his morsel with Jack, his dog. I took
out flask of whiskey, and pouring
out some of it into cup, offered my
guest drink. His eyes beamed with
"a longing look as he saw the liquor,

Beginning Again.

When sometimes our feet grow weary
On the rugged hills of life,
The path stretching long and dreary,
With trial and labor rife,
We pause on the upward journey,
Glancing backward DER valley and glen,
And sigh with an infinite longing
To return and "begin again.
Far behind is the dew of the morning,
With all its freshness and light.
And before us are doubts and shadows
And the chill and gloom of the night;
And we think of the sunny places
We passed so carelessly then,
And we sigh. so Father, permit us
To turn and begin again."
Yes, upward and onward forever
Be our paths on the hills of life.
But ere long radiant dawning
Will glOrify trial and strife,
And our Fathers hand will lead us
Tenderly upward then;
In the joy and peace of the better world
He'll let US "begn again.

status Of affairs, appears to stand in the
way, and, as Mrs. Botkin has never set q
foot in Delaware, the Judges claim that
she cannot legally be considered q fugi-
tive from justice, and therefore refuse to
consent to her extradition.
The learned (?) Solons who have
reached this extraordinary conclusion
are polite enough to suggest that an act
Of Congress might remedy this defeat IN
the laws Of California, but state that un-
til such a law is passed they must de-
cline to interpret anything that does not
come under the letter Of the law.
The case, in this new phase, is one OF
the most remarkable in the annals OF
national jurisprudence and Mrs. Bot
kin under present circumstances may be
tried in California, which is an eventu-
ality that is undeniably comforting to
herself and friends.
The Delaware authorities have now
only one hope Of securing Mrs. Botkin,
and that is through the United States
Supreme Court.
1t is to be hoped that this court will
not confirm the decision Of the Califor-
mia court, and that the woman who COM
mitted the heinous crime that she did
may vet be brought to this State and
stand trial for the horrible crime OF
which she stands accused.

JUNK DEALERS TWO WIVES
MIS-. POOre Number One Claims
Estate, and Wife Number Two

On Monday afternoon Mrs. Ella Abele,
OF No. 329 Crown street, Philadelphia,
came to this city and claimed to be the
wife of joel W. Ponre, a junk dealer, Of
this city, who died last week.
Poore left wife living in this city.
She was represented by Benjamin
Nlelds, who secured letters of ad.
mlnstraton on the estate of her hus.
band.
Mrs. Poore says that Mrs. Abele was
married to her husband in 1887, but left
him after living with him two years.
She says Mrs. Abele four years ago mar.
red her present husban
Mrs. Poore was married about eigh.
teen months ago, and at that time did
not know that her husband had vile
living. ''
Mrs. Adele applied for letters on the
death OF Mr.. Poore, but Register of Wills
Crossan had previously granted them to
Mrs. Poore. Notice Of an appeal was
given, and the case will be heard on
Monday, at which time an effort will be
made to revoke the action of the Reg.
lister.

THE mighty brain of Samuel Bancroft,
journalist, is torturing itself just now
about the result of the election. The
dignified second page of his paper, the
Every Evening. contains nothing else.
Just what Mr.. Bancroft will do when
election day deprives him is doubtful
If we might presume to suggest a
scheme, those charges against the Levy
Court might be cleared up. Then again
he might find profit and pleasure com.
bined in explaining why Eryry Erening
suppresses the news.
The people Of Kent county would not
feel unkindly towards him should he see
fit to apologize for his insulting remarks
in accusing them of endorsing thievery.
There are lots of things he might do
along this line. We only suggest these
because they are the freshest.
Oh, no! We don't charge anything.

IT is interesting to learn in connection,
with the existing naval activity abroad
that Admiral Hamann, distinguished
French sea officer, has, on relinquishiny
his command, borne very high testimony
to the excellent gunnery of his fleet.
The satisfaction lie derives from this is
due to belief, fortified by our late ex-
periences, that in naval actions the last
word remains with the gun. All else,
he declares, is futile, for brilliant eyolu.
tions, man9uvres wisely conducted and
attractive schemes of exercises will prove
tobe "a deceptive mirage" if they neg.
lect the immediate factors of combat and
fail to develop the maximum offensive
power based on accuracy and discipline
OF gun fire.
The good results attained are said by
Admiral HaInann to be due to persist
ency Of drill and open sea work, where
problems of attack and reconnaissance
were multiplied, and where navigation
by dav and night and in all kinds of
weather conspired to develop the naval
spirit and character of the personnel
This accords with our theories, for to
the lessons learned in seagoing squad.
rons and to unceaslng gun drill are due
the efficiency and discipline which
counted for SO much in the rigorous
blockade, in the skirmsh and scouting.
and in the naval battles which brought
such glory to our arms.

The members of the Board OF Educa-
tion have at last taken cognizance of the
fact that there are too many children
running the streets, and have secured
one building which they will have ready
for occupancy within the next week.
This is step in the right direction,
and the Board should also zee to it that
all educational facilities be given to the
young folks, and thus maintain the ex-
cellent reputation held by the city for
providing everything pertaining to the
education of the pupils under their care.

The action of the Supreme Court of
California in the famous Botkin case is
more than remarkable miscarriage of
justice. Even leaving oLt all considera.
tim of the question of Mrs. Botkin's
guilt or innocence of the charge of which
she stands accused, it must be admitted
that this State has offered sufficient cir.
cumstantial evidence of guilt to warrant
her extradition and trial.
