a ROMANTIC CAREER
fhe Story of an American viscountess
In England.

OF all the beautiful and wealthy
American girls who have contracted
matrimonial alliances with titled Euro
peans few have had so romantic ca
reer as Viscountess Deerhurst, who re-
Gently presented an heir to her distin-
guished husband.
Niscountess Deerhurst, who is ac-
counted one of the most beautiful wom-
en- of Europe, and who was also an
heiress of great wealth when she mar
ried, was an Illinois girl by birth, and
her earliest years We're ones OF humble
life. Her birthplace was a farm in
Fulton County, near Pennington, and
about twenty miles west of the city of
Peoria. Her fathers name was Will
lam Daniel. but this was fact known
to only few people when the beauti-
full and accomplished Virginia Bon
ynge, a name that subsequently came
to her, was launched in London sOci-
ETY. with all the advantages that nature
had lavished upon her, supplemented
by the fascination of prospective mill
ions. Her success was instantaneous,
and 1t was not long before she had the
,eligibles of Great Britain's exclusive
set at her feet. She was taken up by
royalty itself. in the person of Princess
Christian, and her presentation TO the
Queen stamped her position In the great
world of fashionable and exclusive So
ciety.
About this time came an event in
Virginia Bonynges career which near
ly wrecked her life and happiness, and
the shock of which Frustrated her for
weeks with brain fever, and brought
her near deaths door. Amng the
horde of suitors that besieged ler was
nobleman of high title, bng and
lofty lineage, and of distinguished and
unblemished character. His suit pros
pered, and soon his engagement to Miss
Bonynge was announced. A 'ew weeks
after the engagement was announced
ugly rumors began to circulate In Lon
| don society about Miss Bounge. These
were to the effect that shewas not the
! daughter of the millionire whose
! name she bore, but that hr origin had
! been Of the most lowly mare. and that

FROM DEEP DOWN IN EARTH
Queer Creatures that Came Out of an
Artesiau Well in Texas.

The arrival at the fish commission of
two living specimens of the Typ,hlo-
molge Rathbuni has excited much in
terest. These animals came from an
artesian well dug by the United States
fish commission TO supply water to the
fish hatchery near San Marcos, Texas,
and are among the most interesting of
subterranean organisms.
The well was bored TO a depth of
about 1,500 feet, but was afterward
filled up. until ii is now only 1SS feet
deep. A flow of 200 gallons of water
minute is obtained, and with the
water four varieties of crustacea and
this salamander have come to the sur
face, all of which are new To science.
AS might be expected, these animals
are blind, and the name given to the
salamander Is due to this fact, being
compounded from the Greek typhlos,
blind, and molge. n kind of salaman-
der. The second term is in honor of
Professor Richard Rathbun of the
Smithsonian institution.
The larger of the two living speci,
mems is about four and half inches
in length. 1t has n large head, pro
longed forward into a tlattcned snout,
in which is the mouth. The eyes are
covered by the skin and appear mere
ly as small black specks. The body is
slender and ends in a tail tlattened
from side to side and used in swim
ming. Projecting from the body are
two pairs of legs, the forward pair end
ing in four toes and the rear pair bear.
ing five toes, as Is customary among
salamanders. These legs are used in
walking, and, though very slender,
seem to possess much strength, as they
lift the body clear of the ground, and
by them it can climb over the rocks
piled in the aquarium.
The general structure Is of n larval
type-that is, it resembles the unde-
veloped salamanders of to-day and the
fossils of those of bygone ages. 1t is
well known that fish and other inhab-
itants of subterranean waters are de-
scended from corresponding types
found at the surface in the vicinity, but
the typhlomolge suggests many prob
lens. AS it presents a primitive type,
it may be an instance of arrested evo-
luton or of reversion. When the an
cestors of these specimens became en-
quilted in the earth, ii is probable that
the form now presented was the nor
nal one, and that. in the absence of
light and the presence of other OBJ
stacles to animal life, evolution became
impossible. and the type became fixed.
On the other hand, this larval form may
be the result of degeneration.

was freed that wire and daughter were
lost to him forever.
When he was pardoned he went back
to the scene of his crime in search of
those he had left behind. They had
disappeared. But some remained who
were able to put him upon their track.
He learned the truth. and it killed the
little courage and manhood left after
his Imprisonment. He plunged into
deeper crime, drank to excess, and
finally died by his own hand.
In the meantime the Bonynges had
removed to London. They found Amer
lean wealth powerful, and, when re-
enforced by the charms of a beautiful
daughter. Irresistible. Then came the
shock of the revelations of Daniels
career.
Soon after this period the Niscount
Deerhurst became a sutton for the hand
of Miss Bonyngp. He was accepted,
and in a short time the miners daugh-
ter became Viscountess Deerhurst. Her
life since has been a happy one.

A German professor at Harvard in
sists in a paper in the Atlantic Monthly
that Germany, an empire, lis freer" to-
day than the United States, a supposed
republic, but striving to become an en-
pire. He writes:
"A president with such vast powers,
parties in the grasp Of bosses, city ad-
ministrations under the whip of spoils-
men, the economic world under the
tyranny Of trusts, and all together un-
der the autocracy of yellow-press edi-
tors:-I love and admire America, but
Germany really seems to me freer."
War in the Traansvaal looms up.
Great Britain is making preparations
for che worst with much activity.
The New York Evening Post notes
that call of the professional politicians
in both parties are bowling against
trusts" But we do not see that the re-
publican administration is doing any
"howling" in that way. They evident
ly like the situation. Hanna, the boss,
is one of the trust m~agnates.

A COTTON MILL TRUST

The hungry, insatiate devourers are
now in their imagined mightiness seek
ing to control the entire cotton manu-
featuring interests of the United States.
They talk of doing this with the sum of
$1500O0, 900. 1t would take ten times
that amount to do it, even supposing
southern mill nv would accommo-
date the monster by agreeing to be de-
voured. If the federal congress cannot
and will not take radical steps to put
a stop to the reign of the trusts then
either the people must be ground in
the mills of the bosses or they must
strike for liberty and independence.
The latter means revolution. Why can
not law put bits in the mouths of the
gay and cunning money kings who
seek not only to own the congress and
the president and gang, but to practi-
cally own every thing, crushing and
abusing the people. The careful stu
dent of history knows this from read
ing historic records, that although it
has taken we'll nigh two hundred years
of oppression to arouse the people Of a
nation to strike for ~deliverance, it has
at last come, and coming it was terri
fic. 1t was like a cyclone and swept
away old established institutions and
government itself, leaving a great
wreck of life and property in it's path
way, but it triumphed, purified and freed
the people. Revolutions have often
come because of outrages and wrongs
and sufferings visited upon the masses,
and coming they never go backward.
England today is the outcome Of many
revolutions, and it's wise, liberal, eff
fective government is the outcome OF
them all. The trusts need to be put in
harness and bridled with curb-bits that
hold.

We have had more respect Tor the
Springfield Republican than for any
paper OF its party in New England. 1t
Is able and influential, and has exhib-
tied more Of justice ad fairness towards
the south than any other northern re-
publican paper except the Washington
Post But the Republican is after its
kind-insular, prejudiced, narrow. It
has an editorial on the Boston Atlantic
Monthly and DR.. Page and his success
sor. 1t is e that DR.. Page is no
~favorite, and because of his southern
birth and education It is pleased to
say:
Mr.. Page has undoubtedly enlivened
and strengthened the impression there
OF new talent, but his alien tastes might
not long have pleased The Atlantic's
public which is of the same sort of
readers who rushed to its welcome over
forty years ago. 1t has o been with
pleasure that these readers have found
Emerson treated fippantly in its pages.
The tendency to cheaper the services
OF our great New England writer's
poets, critics, essayists, historians-let
it be exercised somewhere else than in
The Atlantic, which should conserve
our best and add to il with discrimina-
ton and strength no less than when
Lowell and Aldrich and Howells edit
ed it."
You Sc that the imagined literary
New England gods would worship af-
ter the old style, and Mr.. Page is dis
counted accordingly. They have made
Of Emerson a "fetich," thinking him
wiser and greater than all other Amer
leans, and to treat the oracle "fippant-
ly" is unbearable. We are glad DIR.
Page has escaped from the Bostonian
atmosphere, with its contracted, selfish,
pinched, illiberal notions, and will live
in a wider field with a greater sweep
of the horizon Of letters before him.
The Republican is delighted with DR..
Pages successor, Professor Bliss Perry
and praises him, rejoicing that he is

HORRIBLE BKUVAlTTIES

A shock will go over the state when
known that disgraces the combine gov
eminent in North Carolina in connec-
ton with the farms. 1t was very dark
and disgraceful at Castle Haynes, but
the tale of the horrors under Summer
ell is black with cruelties. One negro
convict was beaten to death in the field,
and prisoners were sorely maltreated,
whipped and starved. And that too in
North Carolina near the end of the
century, and in a state where bloody
brutalities have been unknown in the
treatment of prisoners and convicts
until the advent of the baleful combine.
First came the huge, horrid, pestilen-
tial penitentiary stencil. Then the
other crimes followed. Every thing
touched has been married II perverted
Or outraged in some way. No depart
ment-even the schools-has escaped
the contagion of crime and ras-
caaity. One negro was disabled for
three weeks as a result of a most cruel
whipping. 1t is stated that he was
hidden for ten days in a cell without
either food or medical aid. Only can
nibals or ~incarnate devils could out-vie
that display Of hideous brutality prac-
ticed by this cruel boss I'M charge,
Louis Summerell. Read this from the
evidence. Governor RusselPs brother,
D. S. Russell, testified as follows before
the investigating committee:
He did not get into line as quick as
Summerell wanted him to, and Sum-
meren took hold of the staff Of the
lash, which is about Is large as a
mans arm and peeled him over the
head five or six times with it. The
staff was about two feet long. =
He bled p~rofusely. Every time he hit
him the blood spouted.
"Summerell did not think that sufi-
cient, and he jerked the whip out of
Slater's hand and whipped him on the
side. He was so raw all below that he
| whipped him ON the side. The
rawness was from the lash. He was
not able to work for three or four
weeks.
81 heard that he Lowe) was whip

do you think? That d-n'd fool Sears
| beat Lowe to death" DR..
Furguson sawed his head open and
found blood clotted around the brain.
= = DR.. Furguson told me the
whipping was the aus OF his death
Can these things happen in North
Carolina without great indignation
among the people? Can such ~cruelties
and brutalities be practiced with Inn
punity? Will not the court take the
