Mayne was telegraph operator in Omaha
on salary OF $40 a month. When the
boom struck the West, he quit his job and
without a dollar secured options on much
Omaha property. Within a year he was
rated as a millionaire.
The bubble burst and left him without a
dollar. He drifted West penniless, but
suddenly turned up in San Francisco, where
he won another fortune of $5o0.00O and the
bitter enmity OF the Southern Pacific Rail-

the Southern Pacific owned the only line

Francisco and each time made a fortune

he went to Joplin and his extraordinary
skill as an organizer enabled him to at once

A HONEYMOON INTERRUPTION
Arrest of n Bridegroom on the
Charge of Bigamy.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA honeymoon was
rudely interrupted at the Marlborough
Hotel at O'Clock this morning by the po-
lice entering the bridal apartments and
taking the bridegroom from his sobbing,
hysterical bride.
John L. Blackford, private detective for
the Central Railroad Of New Jersey, is
the principal actor in the drama, which
had its climax in his arrest on the charge
of bigamy. For two years the railroad
detective had been courting Miss Alice
Morgan at her home in Westfield. N J.

Having little leisure Thanksgiving

a trip to Plainfield. That was an unlucky
journey for Blackford. Almost everybody
in Plainfielb knew the New Jersey Central
detective. Brennesholtz went to Black

a pleasant-faced woman.

An investigation followed, which resulted

MINERS FIGHT IN CONGRESS.
The Trouble in Coeur d'AIene Dis
tricf TO BE PrObed.

WALLACE. Idaho. Dec. 1.-Congress is
which the Standard Oil Company, owner of
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines in the
Coeur dAlene district, has opposed the
Miners Union.
Already State Auditor Sinclair announces
that the bull pen." in which at one time
the military authorities had as many as g.
600 prisoners. is to be closed next week.
coincident with the meeting of Congress.
Eighteen persons are still imprisoned
there.
OF the total number of men incarcerated
there. only eighteen had a trial. Others
were arrested and held at the pleasure of
the military or State authorities. Martial
law has been proclaimed, and is still in
force. A detachment of the Sixth United
States Cavalry is encamped on the out
skirts of the town. At Wardner is an
other body of regulars.
II was in 1892 that the friction between
the managers of the Bunker Hill and Sui
livan mines (the Standard Oil Company
mines) and their miners began. Armed
guards and armed miners fought in the
precipitous gulches and canyons. The con-
rentrator of the Frisco mine was wrecked
by dynamite. The manager OF another
mine was captured by a posse of union
miners anu given MS choiCe pe'"eeh eSiu
ing his non-union miners out OF the state
and being blown up with his mill.
In three days nearly all the non union
miners in the district were expelled, and
then the troops came in and the Coeur
d'Alene settled down to its first expert
ence in martial law and the bull PEN
In the seven years since then the old
fight between organized and independent
labor has gone on in the district, the Bunk
er Hill and Sullivan mines leading the
fight against the unions. Other mines es-
capped serious trouble. because they al
ways employed union labor. Military con-
troll however, compelled their shutdown
last May.

PORTO RIcAN FARMING.

General Davis Opinion of the Plan
for Garden Schools.
Some prominence has been given to the
idea that the Daughters of the American
Revolution should establish in Porto Rico
a system of kindergartens for farming. and
thus enable the Inhabitants of that island
to become self-supporting. Under the
sanction Of the Secretary Of War and the
Commissioner of Education, the project
was referred to Governor General Davis
for his views as to its practicability, and
Mrs. A. NJ. Wilcox, Of Washington, who
has devoted sixteen years 70 the prosecu-
tion OF outdoor kindergarten work, has re-
ceived a reply from General Davis, who
writes:
up to 1898 the efforts of the sovereign
power seemed to have been centred In the
direction of educating a few to compose
the governing class. In the past not over
$4,000 youths were taught anything
whereas there are in Porto Rico of school
age almost 100000 children" According
to the Spanish educational system, he says,
education meant immunity from manual
toll, and while the educated youth was
willing to accept clerkship or some other
position, he did not care to soil his hands
with labor. This instinct or inclination, -
he says, will take long time to eradi-
cate.
81 am afraid to make a prediction as to
the success you would attain in establish
ing school gardens in Porto Rico. II you
wrought only to the end that the pupils
would graduate with sedentary positions,
permitting much leisure and little work, /
am sure you would find throngs of pupils
II, however, the ultimate result involved
is the following of the plow or other heavy
work, fear the success would be less evil

experiment stations, SO as to improve ag-
ricultural methods. / have to begin at the
bottom, however. for there is no founda-
ton to build upon. II such an establish
ment as you propose is seriously contem-
plated, l would suggest that you, or some
other Intelligent person, come here and
study the social, moral and economic con-
ditions that must environ you.''
President Clark,-Of the Porto Rico Board
of Education, writes: The establishment
of such school gardens as are here proposed
is desirable from .many Considerations II
teachers. material and equipment for a
few such garSfnss TO be started on an I-
perimental basis, could be furnished by
the Daughters Of the American Revolu-
tion, the land for such gardens and possi-
bly, necessary rooms for any indoor work
connected with them could be furnished

MOVES IN THE MoLINEUx CASE
The Prosecution to Assert Motives
for His AlleRed Crime


NEW YORK, Dec Witnesses who are
to be called in the prosecution of Roland
b. Moiineux. and who live many miles
from this city, probably will begin to ar
rive here tonight. In order to perfect his
case Assistant District Attorney Osborne
has had Detective Sergeants Carey and Nc
Caferty search for and obtain witnesses
In various parts of the country The de-
tectives have obtained information and
witnesses in Ohio. Maryland, Virginia,
iiihois, and some OF the Eastern States.
Mr. Orborne and the detectives absolutely
refuse to say who the witnesses are or
what testimony they are to furnish, but
1t Is well known that the assistant district
attorney is confident of securing a conyic
lon.. Since- the case was placed in the
hands of Mr.. Osborne the detectives named
have done little besides forge links in the
chain Of circumstances which they believe
connects Molineux with the murder with
which he is charged.
WITH what success their work has been
attended it is believed first will be made
known when Assistant District Attorney
Osborne makes his opening address to the
Jury on next Monday morning. In this
speech Mr.. Osborne will tell what he be-
iieves was the motive that inspired the
] sending OF the poison to Harry S. Cornish
and which the prosecution believes was in
tended to cause Cornish's death. The oues-
tion OF motive is one to which the detec-
/ tives paid particular attention, and they
believe that they will succeed in proving
cne- 10 the satisfaction of twelve fair
minded and reasonable Jurors.
On the other hand. Barlow S. Weeks and
George Gordon Battle express themselves
as being satisfied that their client will be
acquitted of the charge that has kept him
prisoner in the Tcmbs since February
81. Both lawyers are confident of the in
nocence OF Molineux. and equally as con-
fident that the district attorneys Office is
in possession of no facts that can unsettle
their belief. As for Molineux himself, he
feels assured of being acquitted.
Molineux told one of the keepers in the
Tombs Wednesday evening that he was de-
lighted that the ordeal Of obtaining jury
had been passed. The examination of tales
men had become as monotonous to him
as 20 those who were compelled to sit in
the court room during the twelve days
that the search for jury was being made.
Molineuy's Thanksgiving Day was not
unlike the 300 other days that he has
been an occupant of a prison CELL The
prisoner ate light breakfast and then
carefully read the newspapers His din
ner consisted OF turkey with cranberry
sauce. piece OF roast pork. pie, cup Of
coffee. and two apples. He had no visitors

Minister Powell Ordered to InVesti-
gate Jiminex's Government.
The State Department has directed Min
lister Powell, at Port au Prince, to imme-
diately proceed to Santo Domingo. and in
vestigate and determine the stability Of
the new government under Jiminez. Mr..
Powell has been instructed to interpellate
the Jiminez government regarding his in
tentions as to the continuance Of privileges
and concessions made to the American con-
cern which had control of the finances of
: the island as well as to other American
interests.
Should the JimineZ government deem Ii
advisable not to recognize the concessions
made by the former government of the
island. it is very doubtful that the United
States Government will recognize General
Jiminez's administration.
The State Department is determined not
to allow the change Of government OF the
island to interfere or jeopardize American
interests. which is the cause of Minister
Powells instructions and which it is ex-
pected will have the desired effect

FOXY WORK ON TODAY.
Worcester Sportsmen Out
After Reynard's
Pelt.

When the sun is breaking over the
eastern hills today the country for miles
around will resound with the cry of
hounds in hot pursuit of the willy fox.
The period of immunity on foxes fix
ed by general consent among hunters
expired yesterday. but there was no fox
hunting yesterday. It was too risky
to attempt violation of the game laws
by hunting foxes on Sunday. The
gunner may take a shot or two at birds
and risk being detected by game war
dens, as the only noise in pursuit of
that game is the report Of a gun. There
are hunters who are willing to take
chances on being able to get out of the
way after firing. But in fox hunting
it is different. The tonguing of the
hounds can be followed by a warden
and the hunter located easily if he
fires a shot.
Then, too, members of the Worcester
Fur Company are better sportsmen
than many bird hunters, and more
likely to obey the law They do not
violate the unwritten agreement Of
their own to hunt foxes before Oc-
tober 1. They hunt foxes for sport,
while some of the bird hunters of this
city can hardly claim the name of
sportsmen. They are pot hunters pure
and simple, and would not hesitate
about hunting the covers on Sunday if
they did not fear the game wardens.
Hounds will be slipped from leash in
various districts about this city early
this morning Hunters look forward
to a successful days sport, The
ground is moist at this time of year
and will hold a scent until the sun is
we'll above the horizon.
The hounds have been run during the
past week extensively. They are in
good form and the weather is cool
enough to enable them to follow
trail at good speed. Several foxes have
been started in various places and the
localities have been kept in mind. They
will be visited today and the hounds
put in to start up the clever reynard
Several parties of hunters left the
city last evening to be near the hunt
ing grounds when they rise this morn
ing. The early morning is the best
time and the hunters will be on the
lookout for game before dawn. They
do not expect to come back empty
handed and will make vigorous efforts
not to- for pelt on the opening day is
one of the biggest prizes in the world
In the eyes of a devotee of fox hunting
