BEE LINES.

Last Saturday just after the adjournment
of congress Senator Lindsay of Kentucky
received long telegram from which the
following is an extract:
/ and my former wife, Dora Brock, have
been prisoners for about five years, deprived
of life, liberty, property and pursuit of hap
pinesS by lawleSs persons called the Ven-
delta. | pray congress TO send a commit
tee here to save me from dying blind and
alone in my own castle without crime or
reward for a lifetime of service in the cause
of humanity and justice, in which received
seventeen scars.
The telegram was from Cassius NJ Clay
and tells its own story. Eghty-two years
of storm and stress have eliminated in in
sanity and it would be too much to hope
that the peerless mind that charmed friend
and foe will ever again emerge from the
darkness into which it has fallen But
even in his madness glimpses of old ideals
come to view and when he declared that
he received seventeen scars in the cause of
humanity he did but voice the truth. Born
and bred one of the bluest blOOded arls-
tocrats of Kentucky he nevertheless became
one of the most virulent aboltionsts of the
country. EspousIng the candidacy of Abra-
ham Lincoln he went upon the hustngg.
His life was sought by more than one mob
and blood flowed as freely as oratory. Thrice
he was brought nigh unto death through
wounds received in the campaign and in each
one Of these encounters the funeral of his
assaiant duly occurred. As a soldier in the
Union army he shed his blood on many
battlefelds for the cause of freedom. In
1864 President Lincoln appointed him as
minister to Russia and it was he who ne
gotated the cesson of Alaska to the United
States. After his return from St Peters
burg he was a prominent figure in the af-
fairs of Kentucky until 1876. From that
time little was heard from the old warrior
until he again cCme into prominence by
marrying Dora Richardson. Most of the
ridiculous things occasioned by that mar
riage, il not the act itself, may be safely
attributed to the malady that has now en-
tirely dethroned his reason. The life that
will end in darkness was not a model in
many respects but it will be a long time
before the American people will forget the
services rendered to the cause of humanity,
by the blind, lonely and demented old man
of Whitehall.
The last remnant of old Kaskaskia Is
about to fall a victim to the rayages OF
tho Mississippi.
At one time the town was the capital of
the Northwest Territory and was a city of
5000 Inhabitants and the metropolis of
the west. Later it became the capital Of
Illinois, but the encroachments of the great
river were one of the reasons for its removal
at an early day to Springfield The river
has long since washed away all of the
ground on which the principal part of the
town was located and there are now left
only a few rods of the eastern outskirts,
which will fall a victim to the next freshet.
The two Texans who met in saloon to
adjust disputed matter had no trouble in

RUBBER WORKS SHAKE-UP MYS-
TERRY

Hartford, Oct. 30.-A great deal of
mystery still attaches to the dismissal
last Friday of Treasurer Parker, Secre-
| tary Anderson and Factory Manager
Wilson Of the Hartford Rubber works
1t is quite generally believed that
Charles r. Flint's rubber trust had
something to do with the sudden and
wholesale discharges, but exactly how
1t was factor is as little known now
as at the time of the dismssals. The
reticence of those directly concerned in
the matter gives opportunity for all
sorts of speculation, and it is hardly
necessary to say that this opportunity
has been eagerly seized.
Messrs. Parker and Wilson are both
very well known socially, as well as in
business way, and it was thought by
their many friends that they would be
the last ones to go, if removals We're
made, as expected, on account of the en-
trance of the rubber works into the
American Bicycle company. Their sum-
mary dismissal, therefore, came as a
complete surprise and the establishment
has been only increased by the fact that
neither the discharged men nor their
employers have seen fit to make a full
statement of the cause. Mr. Parker had
intimated on Friday that he might make
statement later but when seen YES
tert!ay he declared that he had nothing
to say. The leading representatives of
the American Bicycle company In town
were equally reticent
Colonel George Pope and Albert l..
Pope, who is temporary manager of the
rubber works, declined to discuss the
case.

YOUNG VANDERBILT'S CHECK.
Refused at New Haven Bank Where
He Had No Money

Refused at a New Haven Bank Where
He Had No Money.
Since the announcement of the pro.
vision of the will of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt, by which the bulk of the
testator's estate was left to his son AL
fred Gwynne Vanderbilt a number of
stories have been related locally CON
corning young Alfred Vanderbilt, when
he was here in college a couple of
years ago. One business man relates
an amusing incident of how one of the
young millionaire's checks came back
from the bank with the announcement
stamped upon it that the drawer of the
check had no money in the bank
1t seems that young Vanderbilt con-
tracted a bill to the amount of 500 at
the place of business the New Ha-
ven man referred to and drew for that
amount a check on the City bank The
check was accepted without a suspi-
cion that there could be any trouble
over check signed by a Vanderbilt
The check with others was sent off to
the bank for deposit and what was
the surprise of the business man a few
days later when the check was sent
pdch Will tie lciiiidlloH tldI AIRED
Gwynne Vanderbilt had no money in
the City bank and the check must
therefore be refused for deposit
The check was kept and in a few
days Mr. Vanderbilt happening in was
informed of the trouble over it. He
expressed regret and said that he had
evidently made slight mistake in his
accounts, He at once arranged mat
tiers at the City bank and when the
check was again sent in it was ac-
cepted.

Shakespeare plays at the Historical
Society building on Grove street. The
lectures will be given Saturday morn
ing at II o'clock and will begin Novem-
Der a. The lectures are given under
the auspices of the Historical society.
New Haven people are much indebted
to the society for securing Mr.. Clapp to
speak here, as he is regarded as very
high New England authority on lee
lures upon the dramas Of Shakespeare
and upon the life and personality of
the poet.
The lectures will be given at the His
torical Society hall, Grove street, on
Saturday mornings of November, with
two in December. Tickets may be had

of 81 Elm street, and Mrs. Arthur
w
at the Historical society building. Tick
cts are SO for the course.
Mr.. Clapp has had the distinction of
having given twelve courses of lectures
before the Lowell institute of Boston,
being the only lecturer thus honored in
the history of the noted institute where
to be called for even one lecture is con-
sidered a mark of distinction and
tribute to the lecturers ability. The
committee in securing Mr.. Clapp has
made a special effort to get him here
on Saturdays, so that the pupils of our
schools and their teachers can have
the benefit of his lectures. In COM
menting upon one of Mr.. Clapps lee
lures the Boston Herald says Henry
A. Clapp has scored the great success
of the season at the Lowell institute
The occasions have been few and far
apart when Boston audience has been
stirred as Mr. Clapp has stirred his au-
diences with lectures on Shakespeare"
