ST. LOUIS GIRL BECOMES RlcH
Miss Marie Fleming Suddenly Made an
Heiress to a Million.

Miss Marie Fleming of 4721 Page
boulevard, ST. Louis, is soon to be a
millionairess.
The news will come as surprise to
many of the friends of the fair young
st. Louisan. She has Just been notified
that she will come into an inheritance
of $1,250, 600 by the recent death of her
father, w. T. Fleming of Philadelphia.
Seventeen years ago w. T. Fleming
son of David Fleming, the Philadelphia
millionaire, now deceased, was mar
ried in Atchison to Miss Kittie Everest,
the 1Syear-old daughter of Colonel
Aaron S. Everest a widely-known at
torney. The wedding was an affair Of
interest, but the marriage did not
prove a happy one. Mr.. and Mrs. Flem-
ing quarreled within a few months and
at the end of three years were divorced.
Their one child, Marie Fleming, was
given to the mother. She was after
ward adopted by her grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. Everest.
Mr.. Fleming returned to the East and
in seven years married again. Mrs.
Fleming married Ed Fairfield, a Kan
sas City travelling man, but this mar
riage also resulted in a separation. Mrs.
Everest then took Mrs. Fairfield and
Marie Fleming abroad for the cultiva-
ton of Mrs. Fairfield's voice and the
education of her grandchild
Four years ago Mrs. Fairfield was
married ITO H. l.. Magee, general super
intendent of the Wabash, with whom
she now resides in St. Louis.
Mrs. Everest, the grandmother, con-
tinued to care for the child and lives
but three doors from Mrs. Magee.
Marie Fleming never saw her father
to remember him. although his mother
tried in every way to obtain possession
of the child. David Fleming, the grand
father, however was prejudiced against
it, and before he died, in December,
1898, tried to dsnherit her. but failed.
Every year Mrs. Everest has take
Marie Fleming TO Philadelphia, where
she met her parental grandmother, but
she never saw her father or grand
father.
Miss Fleming is 16 years old very
pretty and accomplished, and is al
ready possessed of considerable for
tune. as the late Colonel Everest left
her $40, 900 in government bonds,
Mrs. Magee said;
1.-THE dispatch from Atchison is sub
stantially correct. I do not know that
any more need he said"
She refused to discuss the good for
tune of her daughter further.
At the Everest residence the bell was
answered by a young man, who said
Miss Fleming had retired
Il suppose the report is about right"
he said. The only hitch is that there
was no will | understand there are
several heirs to the estate, which is
valued at about $4,000, 0O0."

AIDED AND AsETTEo A THIEF.
How the President Became Coparcener
in Purloining Mackerel.


From the New York Herald.
How Mr.. Mckinley aided and abetlted
in the stealing Of one mackerel is
story that has come out since the pres
ident's coming has been talked of. AS
Mr.. Mckinley was an accessory before
and after the fact, Joseph V. Jordan
never breathed word of this until the
other day. Then he told it to a friend
in confidence, as he thought, but now
it is going the rounds.
1t was the year Mr.. Mckinley was
nominated for the presidency. He and
Mrs. Mckinley were at the Elberon.
Mr. Mckinley is good whip. He and
his brother Abner and Mr.. Jordan We're
Grying a fast team of the latter. Mr..
Mckinley remarked that he would like
to take a fresh mackerel home to Mrs.
Mckinley, who is fond of that fish.
Their drive brought them past the FL
boron fish pond" but no mackerel were
to be had there. They visited half a
dozen different places without success
and were finally directed to small
fish store kept by Captain John Jeffries,
in Pearl street, South Elberon. The
store was closed, for it was lunch hour.
Jeffries' house was some distance away.
They had been assured that Jeffries
had what they wanted It was broil-
ing day, they were hot and in despair.
They ratified doors and windows.
Boost me-" said Mr.. Jordan. Broth
ers William and Abner gave him a
shoulder. He was soon perched on a
lofty window casing and prying the
putty from a pane. The glass was
lifted Mr. Jordan wriggled through.
He reappeared with a fine, big fish.
He had squeezed half way through the
window when there was a cry of "Po-
lice. Police." A boy clerk had come On
the scene.
TT is all right" gasped Mr.. Jordan.
That's Mr. Mckinley" waving the
fish in the direction of the nominee for
presidnt.
mo faint all right" replied the boy
They lifted Mr.. Jordan out of the
window frame, gave THE boy the money
for the fish and deposit for repairs
to the window and Mrs. Mckinley had
her mackerel.

A SPECIAL TAX VOTED
Not a Single Vote Cast Against
the Proposition.
VALUABLE HORSE STOLEN
Bertrand Bound over to the District
Court for Trial, Charged With the
Theft-Alport viii Mat
ter Again.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Boulder, July 3O.-A school election
was held here Saturday afternoon on
the proposition to vote a 2R-mill spe-
cial tax for general purposes. There
was very little interest manifested as
it was generally supposed that the prop
osition would carry anyway, and it did,
not vote being cast in the negative.
Boulder people take a pride in good
schools and are willing to vote taxes to
keep them up.
Harry E. Bertrand, a young man
whose home is near Clancy, was before
Justice Taylor Saturday afternoon for a
preliminary hearing on the charge of
having stolen horse from S. b. van
Wart of the Lowlands, over near
Butte. The evidence was quite con-
elusive and he was held to the district
court under bonds of 81 900 1t appears
that the animal was IA valuable one
and Bertrand intended to take her out
of the country and run races with her
in the eastern part of the state, but it
happened that while riding he was
thrown and had his leg injured before
he got away and he was oyertaken
near Clancy.
In the district court Saturday the
Airport will matter was up again. The
will recently discovered in Butte was
offered for probate by Mrs. Kelley and
a contest was filed by other relatives.
The matter of a change of venue was
discussed and it appears now that it
will be agreed upon by the attorneys.
Judge Parker expressed a desire that
IT should be transferred to some other
martha l1Nr hnoa11sa hp could
sit in the case and he disliked to ask
judge from another county to come
here to try it, as was done on several
occasions when the first will was being
tested; also there might be some diffi-

GOING TO PARIS IN A TREE.
Californian's Novel Project for Reaching
the Exposition.


Capt Firmin Moindron is making his
plans to attend the Paris exposition in
1900. That is not particularly novel
occupation just now, for it would be
a hard matter to throw a stone and not
hit someone who is doing the same.
But while the rest of the world is go
ing to get there in the ordinary way by
learning a little French and saving up
as much money as possible, Captain
Firmin Moindron means to go in a way
of his own. He intends to travel in a
trunk. Not the ordinary, portable dog
house trunk that has been used to
transport everything from a corpse to
a summer girls outfit, but the trunk
of a tree. All the way from Humboldt
county to the quays of gay Paree"
he is going Ito sail in the trunk of a
redwood tree.
Necessity, ingenuity and the love of
adventure have led man to brave the
waters of the earth in all sorts of craft,
from Noahs ark to a naphtha launch,
but for poetic originality, Captain
Moindron's project stands alone. Cap
tain Moindron loves France as the land
of his birth and California as the home
of his choice, and for the honor of both
he wishes to bow 10 the people who
gather at Paris in 1900 to look on
the wonders of the world and the
achievements of nations proof of one
of the marvels of this new world.
Captain Moindron is a hardy sailor
man. Man and boy for 40 years he has
gone down to the sea in ships and
worked his way from fo'c'stle to quar-
terdeck.
One of the rugged giants that has
watched the children of the red man
and the white may come and go he Will

BATTLE OF REPTILE AND FISH.
Water Snake and Pickerel Engage in a
Deadly Combat.

From the New York Press.
That moOted question of whether a
good healthy water snake can cope sue
cessfully in mortal combat with pick
erel has been decided by a battle in
Lake Pennesseewasse, of which Will
lam Gary and Kenneth Quincy We're
witnesses The lake waters abound in
large sized pickerel and there is no
other body Of water in Maine where
the water snakes are so huge. They are
harmless. but if forced to fight with
man or fish can put up a good scrap.
Their bite, while not poisonous, is eX-
tremely painful and every one gives
them a wide berth. In hot days they
crawl to the branches of the low bushes
on the shore of the boys and sun them
selves in contentment. Many of the
reptiles will measure over 10 feet and
few of them have ever been captured.

COMMENTS OF SENATOR FRYE
On the CoghIan Incident, Reeds Resigna-
tion and the Philippines.

New York, April Ex-senator Frye
was asked last night what he thought
would be the result Of the Coghlan Incl
dent. He.said: lit may result unpleas-
antly to Captain Coghlan. but 1 have no
idea that war with Germany will be
the outcome. - believe that
Speaker Reed intends to resign. 1 have
been satisfied on that score for some
time. l won't say that Mr.. Reed
has not political anchor to windward
and realizes that New York offers many
opportunities for political preferment.
The situation in the Philippines is not
nearly so good 1 should like to see
it When we were in Paris no one con-
nected with the commission believed
that more than 5000 soldiers would be
needed there at any time. 1 believe the
Filipinos will soon learn that American
governors are not like their Spanish
predecessors. The idea that an army
of 100, 900 men will be needed to end the
rebellion is a false one. 1 am hopeful
that troubles in the islands soon will
come to an end"

Georgia occurrences and others of a

tion and hopes in the interest of the
Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and the
education of our people l feel con-
strained to keep silent and not engage
in any controversy that might react on
the work to which 1 am now lending
my efforts.
Il do not mind adding that 1 am op-
posed to mob violence under all circum-
stances. Those guilty of crime should
be surely, swiftly and terribly punished.
but by legal methods. AS a rule the
men guilty of these outrages are ignor-
