STORIES ABOUT TABOR.

He Was Always Slightly Profane and
Somewhat Picturesque Talker.
The appointment of ex-senator Tabor
OF Colorado, as postmaster at Denver
recalls the many eccentricities OF that
picturesque statesman when he was
last In Washington in an official capac-
ity, says the New York Tribune. 1t
is true that he was a senator only for
ninety days, but during that time he
managed to arrest the attention OF his
countrymen by his unconventional be-
havior and his decidedly iurid talk.
With another distinguished Colorado
acknowledgement Belford, the
Red Rooster of the Rockies may
fairly be said to have divided the hon
ors of notoriety, until by stroke Of
genius he distanced his competitor and
made all future rivals impossible. 1t
was nothing less than description OF
$500 nightshirt. In those days Tabor
was reputed to be millionaire and
could probably afford such luxuries. He
travelled in special cars, gave lavish en-
tertainments and built an opera house
in Denver. To-day 1t is said, the sal
airy of the office to which he is appoint
ed must appear to him like windfall.
He was always a picturesque and
slightly profane talker. There are
stories without number told OF him. He
surprised fresco painter one day in
his opera house putting the finishing
touches to a portrait of Shakespeare.
who's that?" demanded Tabor.
Shakespeare" replied the painter.
shakespeare" unused the owner of the
building; Shakespeare? Never heard
Of him. Did he ever do anything for
Denver? Why in - don't you put me
there, 1 want to known" On another
occasion, when the present junior sem
ator from Colorado, Mr. Wolcott, was
making the race for the senate. some
friends gathered in his headquarters,
Tabor among them, were one day run
ming over the list of legislators, con-
sidering whom there was some doubt
as to which way they were going to
vote. Robert Elsmere" had then Just
come out, and in the course Of CONVEX
sation some one happened to mention
the new book. Tabor looked up from
the paper he was reading: Robert
Elsmere?" said he; "Wolcott bought
him long ago"

troubled him, and complained that one
arm and one leg were heavier than tho
other, and would occasionally raise his
arm straight up, as he said, to let the
blood run back into his body, and SO
relieve the excessive weight. ! have
heard that he often did this, when
marching, and having become very re-
liglous, his men supposed he was pray
ing. l never saw him any more, ex-
cept at Manassas after the battle,
when Gen. Johnston and other officers
were congratulating him upon his fine
conduct in the battle. These peculiar
tiles have often been regarded and
cited as evidences OF the great genius
he possessed. have always heard it
said that he was an advocate Of rails
ing the black flag and showing no
mercy to the enemy who were invading
our country and destroying our homes
And 1t has often been said and writ
ten that he urged Gen. Lee to assault
the enemy in the town of Fredericks-
burg by night, after their defeat, and
while they were retreattng over the
river, and that Gen. Lee refused to do
so because of the peril to the people OF
the town. 1 have never heard OF
Jackson evincing any sympathy or
gentleness or merciful regard for the
wounded enemies he must have seen,
nor tender emotions Of any sort.
Therefore, the delightful book lately
published by his widow is revelation
and surprise. Nothing in all literature
can equal the exquisite gentleness and
sweetness this book gives us of the
stern, stolid, impassive nature, who
lavished such tenderness upon the OBJ
ject of his love. To her he unlocks
a treasure of rich and pious and low
ing emotions, none of us, his most in
innate friends, had ever before sus-
pected to exist.

field. But Oklahoma has set the pace.
United States Marshal C, H. Thompson
has appointed two women as deputies
for field work.
That a woman should choose the vo-
cation of professional thief taker in the
most civilized portion of the land
would be strange enough. 1t is infin-
itely more so when she chooses field
duty in the worst territory in the
union. Criminals here and in Indian
territory, the district where these two
girls-for they are maidens-must
operate, are of the most desperate and
dangerous class. More lives are lost
among federal officers in year here
than in all the rest of the nation to-
gether. So it would seem that these
girls possess metal of exceptional kind
to willingly undertake such duties.
The young women are Miss s. M.
Burche and Miss Mamie Fossett They
are of that adventurous class of fe-
males who invaded the newly opened
territory in search of homesteads
They are young fairly good looking
well educated, fearless and independ-
ent. Their duties are by no means
confined to keeping Marshal Thomp-
sons books. When they took the oath
of Office and assumed their duties it
was with the distinct understanding
that they would serve the government
just as would any other deputy mar
shall. They were to take the field,
serve writs and warrants and make
arrests Just as any rude man might be
called on to do.
Their first work was done in con-
nection with an Indian territory MUIR
der case. Murder cases down here are
different to those OF almost every 9TH
er portion of the union. The victim
and his slayer generally have plenty of
friends ready and willing to take
charge of the matter without consult
ing any officers OF the law. Witnesses
to the crime, for the most part, II at
all friendly to the murderer. are apt
to be refractory. Tho taking OF life
is not looked upon with the horror 1t
excites in less turbulent communities.
30 that when the two female deputies
received orders to go to the country of
the Sacs and Foxes to bring in some
unruly witnesses they had an extreme
ly difficult and dangerous job cut out
for them.
But these facts did not deter them.

er great soldier. But Cromwell was
great statesman, who ruled his people
with far reaching wisdom. We have
no evidence that Jackson can be lik-
ened to Cromwell in this, but would be
inclined to pronounce Jackson a war
rior, pure and simple, devoid of any
great strategic capacity, as he seemed
to be of good fellowship, humorous in
clinations or any degree of tenderness.
Four years of Incarceration together at
West Point and subsequent service to-
gether in the armies of the United
States gave me as good opportunities
of estimating the mind and the nature
Of Stonewall Jackson as any man has
ever enjoyed. l believe Jackson was
as fond of me as he ever was of any
man of our times. 1t was for his wife
to awaken and nurture, and since his
death to disclose to the world. the deep
tenderness of that wonderful charac-
ter, tenderness never before suspected
by any human being to exist.
In the life and letters of Stonewall
Jackson, published by her, are revela-
lions of affectionate gentleness I'M

other employer he always gets up

THE TURBINE AND DYNAMO.

What They Enable the Latter-Day
Engineers to Do.
The power of falling water has OF
course been known to man for many
centuries, and since water wheels are
some of the oldest of mechanical con-
trivances for producing power 1t may
be urged that this new step forward
is in reality a step backward along
the path trodden by our forefathers,
says Chambers Journal. But the pro-
gress made by the men of an earlier
day along this path was soon barred
by their inability to construct water
wheels suited to any but the most mod
crate powers, and during the second
and third quarters of the present CEN
fury there was no advance made in
this method of generating force. for
use in the industries OF our country.
AS these extended and passed from the
local stage OF their existence to that
OF sppplying not only the whole coun-
try but all the countries Of the world
with their products the amount of me-
chanical energy required to drive the
machinery Of even single mill or
workshop rose from so up to 800 or
1000 horse power; and the steam en-
CINE was found to be far more con-
venient for producing these large
amounts Of mechanical force than the
waterwheel and mill stream Of form
er days. Why then Is 1t that after
half-century OF progress in the use OF
Stear Dnwar during which ataam on
gines have undergone great improve
ments in efficiency, return should
now be not only thought OF but &C
tually In progress toward the methods
of generating power that were in use
at the commencement of the century?
The explanation lies in the fact that
the engineers of the present time have
at their command two machines which
were unknown to or little understood
by their predecessors. The first Of
these, the turbine" was invented
about 1901, but did not come into actual
use on an extensive scale until late in
the century; the second, the "dyna-
no." is an invention OF the middle
years Of the century and has received
Its greatest Improvements during the
last fifteen years. The former ma
chine has enabled the modern hydrau-
lie engineer to make use of any water
fall, however high, for the generation
of power; and the latter has made 1t
possible to transport the energy de-
veloped by the turbine to distances up
to thirty-ive miles, where 1t may be
delivered to factory or mill as simply
and conveniently as water is delivered
by pipes from distant reservoir in
the hills.

disturb them. None would make much
of a success. They are splendid riders,
Injured to fatigue and exposure to eli
matte conditions, prefer active outdoor
life to that usually supposed to attract
the feminine intellect. So, when told
to go get those Indians, they packed
their kits, loaded their rifle magazines,
mounted and got their men.
In order to accomplish their mission
they were forced to travel through one
of the worst districts on earth Many

Many hot, running fight of miles has
left a trail of blood on the sandy hills

plucky girls made the long trip on
horseback rounded up the witnesses
they wanted and brought them all in
and delivered them over in good condl-
ton. 1t required FIVE days to do all
this, but it was done in a neat and
workmanlike manner.

I entered the Military Academy at
West Point in June, 1S42. A week aft
erwards cadet sergeant passed, es-
corting newly arrived cadet to his
quarters. The personal appearance Of
the stranger was 80 remarkable as to
attract the attention of several Of us,
who were standing near and chat
ting together. Burkett Fry, A. P.
Hill and George Pickett, all vir-
ginians and destined to be dis
tinguished generals, made our group
The new cadet was clad in gray
homespun, wagoner's hat, and
large, heavy brogans weather stained
saddle bags were over his shoulders.
His sturdy step. cold. bright gray eye,
thin, firm lips, caused me to say, THAT
fellow looks as II he has come to stay"
and on the return of the sergeant l
asked him what cadet that was. He
replied, Cadet Jackson, of Virginia"
Whereupon l at once assembled to his
room to show him my interest in him,
a fellow-countryman in strang land.
He received my courteous advances in
manner so chilling that 1t caused me
to regret having made them, and l re-
Joined my companions with criticisms
brief and emphatic as to his intellectual
endowments. From the moment that
Jackson entered upon his duties in the
army he evinced that terrible earnest
ness which was the characteristic OF his
conduct in battle or in work. My
squadron of the Mounted Rifles escort
ed four siege pieces, which he was
charged to deliver safely in Monterey
and he did it with an unrelenting en-
ergy which was necessary to get them
through. During the battles in the
| Valley he served as a lieutenant Of
Magruder's battery, and won many dis
tinctions. Having entered the service
as second lieutenant, he was brevettet

About 1850 Jackson was lieutenan
of artillery stationed at Governors Is

leave of absence for one year to enable
him to try such an office before resign

The Next House.

Chairman BabcOck of the republican con-
gressionai committee, has just returned
from a visit to New England and tells a
representative of The Star that he found
the business men of that section thoroughly
alive to the Importance of sound money
control of the next House. They would
regard free silver control as inimical to
business interests, and in such an event
would at once begin to take in sail and
prepare for a storm.
There can be little doubt that the tri-
Umph of free silver at the polls in Novem-
her would have a serious effect on the busi-
ness interests of the country and cause
men of capital to begin to hedge in all of
their operations. Business prospects just
now are very f1atterng. Enormous crops
are about to be harvested and prices for
all farm products are good. With the farm
ers prosperous the merchants also prosper
end thus prosperity spreads over the land.
But the threat of reducing the finances of
the government to a silver basis would have
its effect on both prices and investments
and upset all existing calculations.
Il is early for forecasts. Maine and Yer
r,ont have thrown little light on the sub
ject. 1t is worthy of note, however, that
the republicans in several important states

and unless great care is taken the congress
siOnal tickets, as well as the state tickets,
may show the effect of it. In Ohio the Nc
kissOn-Hanna feud is again in evidence.
In Pennsylvania the attack on the Quay
machine under the lead of Mr.. Wanamaker
is the most vigorous ever known in the
state. In New York there are complications
growing out of the BIack-Roosevelt contest
anj the purpose of the Citizens Union to

members of the Citizens Union, all are
sound money men, and it is to be hoped
that in the settlement of their local diff
terences the cause of sound money may
not suffer. But there is danger of such a
thing, by reason of the great amount of
feeling that has been aroused and the diff
tculty of keeping the congressional tickets
free from whacks in general shindy.
The next House. for the good of she colIn-
try. ought to contain a majority for sound
money. But the sound money men Of all
the states must work together to achieve
