How Field Had Fun With TabOr's
Night shirts.

up to middle age the late Senator Ia
boris life was one of great hardship, "
said a former resident of the silver. state
TO New Orleans Times-Democrat re-
porter, and when he suddenly became
fabulously rich he plunged into Iuxuries
like starving man wading into a BAN
quet One of his early freaks was the
purchase of several magnificent lace night
robes, which cost 800 apiece, and which
he kept locked up in safe during the
day. Eugene Field was editor of the Dem
yer Tribune at the time, and those lace
night robes made him simply hysterical.
He wrote column upon column about
them, describing the garments in detail,
with numerous diagrams depicting sections
fore and aft. The diagrams were hide
Gus AFFAIRS which Field carved out him
self with penknife on the back of OLD
wood type He used 10 describe how Ia
Dor would forget the combination of the
safe and sit up, shivering and naked, halr
the night, trying TO remember the right
figures. Altogether, he kept Denver in a
roar for weeks. and made Tabor so wild
that one day he rushed into his office,
snatched the unfortunate right robes out
of their compartment and tore them 10
pieces There, nowp he exclaimed, wip-
ing his forehead and kicking the tattered
fragments into a corner, I hope that fool
will be satisfied. I'll be hanged if 1 ain |
going to get gunny sack, he continued,
cut some holes in the end for my head
and arms. and then sleep in il for the
rest of my life"
when Tabor was appointed to the SEN
ate to fill an unexpred term of exactly
twenty-nine days Field broke loose again,
and had all kinds of fun with the old man.
He declared that Tabor opposed the tariff
bill on the ground that it encouraged law
lessness in the West. I don't know this
tariff bill he reported the senator as say
ing in speech, but we have entirely too
many of 'em out where 1 live. There 5
Wild Bill and Pecos Bill and Billy the
Kid-all no good. If you let Tariff Bill
have everything to do with the custom
house he is liable to steal the Atlantic
ocean Many of the honest frontier folk
took these flights of fancy seriously and
drove Tabor nearly distracted by long let
ters of remonstrance, urging him to read
up and get posted so as not to disgrace
the state AT the expiration of the SEN
ator's brief term he circulated an auto
graph album among his fellow members,
and the incident tiekled Field immensely.
He gave what purported to be a copy of
the sentiment inscribed in the volume by
the different statesmen-such things as
when this you see remember me, Roscoe
COnklng,' and sure as the moss grows
round a stump you are my darling sugar
lump mean chump-George f. Hoar,
and similar nonsense, all of which mad
dened his victim. l think Gene Field was
the only man Tabor never forgave, for in
spite of his gaunt, forbidding exterior, the
miner magnate was as tender-hearted as
a girl He was really of sterling quail
ties. and in his proper sphere he would
have been anything but grotesque. One
thing is sure-if every fellow he helped in
secret would nave Joined his funeral pro-
cession the other day he would have gone
TO his grave like an emperor of old"

The Past.

From the Denver Daily News
A thousand dreams to earth have come
and gone.
A thousand forms, by fear or fancy drawn,
Like shapes of night have faded from the
dawn.
A thousand creeds have held their sway
on earth,
Unto thousand myths have given birth
That now are food for wonder, scorn, or
mirth.
thousand gods have reigned their little
day
And crumbled- They we're fashioned out
of clav:
Like outworn toys. they now are cast
away.
A thousand castles of the human mind
Are wrecks with which the coasts of Time
are lined
The rubbish of the ages left behind.
A thousand systems of thousand schools
The theories of natures hidden rules,
Now seem to us the dreams of idle FOOLS
A thousand lofty sentiments expressed,
To those who heard them seeming of the
b8t.
Are now forgotten or theme for jest.
A thousand books on memory have laid
claim.
A thousand authors, through them, sought
for fame;
To us there scarce remains single name
The wlnnower of the ages threshes DER
The harvest of a generation's lore;
One grain is gathered from the threshing
floor.
The rest, as empty chaff, aside is cast,
Oblivions refuse, gathering thick and fast
Chokes all the gates ana highways of the
past.
Religions, dreams, and empires all have
gone.
Like shapes of night that vanish from the
dawn:
While through the ages earth went roll
ing on.

Some Trinidad Negro Stories.

Sir William Robinson's paper on ''1rrrini-
dad" read before the Royal Colonial In
stitute last night, was of far more gos-
sipy and entertaining character than the
average contribution to the proceedings
of academic societies. relates the London
Chronicle. He retailed some of the negro
stories he collected while Governor of the
island. A Church of England dignitary
had as servant negress who was very
fond of hymn singing and petty pilfering.
She took loose money off his dressing ia
BILE to the tune of Hold the Fort" and
under cover of Onward, Christian Sol
der" sequertrated the eatab.es. The late
Bishop Rawle asked a negro sitting in idle
ness by the roadside how he managed to
pass the time. II sit in de sun. nassa
and let de time pass me-" was the quaint
and philosophical reply. These Trinidad
negroes, it appears. are long and heavy
sleepers. There was a severe earthouake
at A o'clock one morning, and Sir VIII.
liam driving into town said to his groom =.
Edward, did you feel the earthquake at
o'clock this morning." mo. massa ;,
he replied, Il on'y went to bed at hair

THE LAwLEssNEss ATT cR,Fr,x

Ihe business men of Griffin are acting
wisely in taking prompt and energetic
measures to stamp out the lawlessness
which cropped out there a few days ago
When the members of the lawless gang are
discovered it will be found doubtless thar
they are men and boys who have nothing
at stake in the community, and who are
comparatively worthless as citizens.
Such characters, by undertaking. In Sc
cret and under cover of darkness. to dis
ciplne law-abding citizens or to drive
them from their homes, can do the citv
vast amount of harm If they are not
promptly checked and vigorously dealt
with when discovered, they will become
bolder, and attempt to do openly, and on
larger SCALE lawless things similar to
those they now do secretly.
The greater the leniency shown such
people the more Objectionable they be-
come. They interpret the immunity from
punishment which they enjoy as license
to do as they please. All they want is
sufficient encouragement 10 defy all law.
and any open exhibition of lawlessness is
an incentive to them to give full play to
their vicious natures If Griffin wants
peace and prosperity she will deal with
the element of her population that has
been attacking peaceful and law-abiding
citizens in their homes and ordering them
to leave the city so vigorously that there
win be no repetition of the violence and
lawlessness.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) thus dis
poses of story which has been told So
often that many persons think it is true:
''The New York Sun of Wednesday has
another editorial article, inspired by the
old familiar rancor and couched in the
old familiar vein of brutal misrepresenta- "a :
tion, and concerning this we want to saw
just one word. In this article the Sun re-
produces an alleged colloquy between Ad-
miral Schley and the navigator of the
Brooklyn, Schley's flagship, as follows:
" Schley-HaMl aport!

enough 10 them 0he Spaniards) already.

Texas

look out for herself
This is a lie out of the whole cloth
Even those navy officers who are helping
the department to disgrace Schley-and
we are proud to say that we do not know
any one of them-certainly not through the
medium of histcry-even these if put up-
on the stand under a public inquiry. wouId
laugh at the idea of such a dialogue
Everybody knows that the admiral in
command of naval squadron is in the
position of a guest on the flagship He
gives orders, of course. but only for the
squadron at large. and even then through

The attention of those Northern editors
who persistently assert that the negro
cannot get his rights, as against the
white man, in the South, is respectfully
called TO an incident which occurred a
few days ago in Beaufort county, South
Carolina. Two white men, Wilson and
Neil were charged with having killed the
COW of negro, in the Yamassee sec
ton. The men were indicted and tried
before a white jury. They were convicted
ana sentenced to each one year in the
penitentiary at hard labor. The incident
will not arouse any interest or comment
IN the South, because Southern people
know that il is not by any means an iso-
lated case, We refer TO it merely for the
Benefit Of our Northern contemporaries.

Ohio justice is sometimes as queer as
the proVerbial Jersey justice; and Mayor
Campbell, of Bowling Green, who recent

justice as it may be administered. His
latest innovation was sentencing a bad
boy to so to Sunday school and church

The naval militia Of Savannah made a
rather poor showing at the inspection by
Co. Obear. OF the TWO divisions located
here, only eighteen men could be mus
tered for inspection; and this is the chief
seaport not only of the state, but of the
South AtlaniLc section. This would ap-
pear to indicate that Savannah takes but
little interest in nautical. or rather naval,
matters. But as matter of fact such is
not the case. The trouble seems to bs
that there Is some dissatisfaction witt
the present organization. 1t is claimed
and with show of a good deal of reason,
that under a reorganization three fun di-
visions, made up OF the best sort OF ma
terial, could quickly be recruited in this
city. And under a reorganization, Savan-
nah would be made the headquarters of

The Charleston Post says that our criti-
cism of the South Carolina State Board of
Health for its lack of effort to isolate the
smallpox cases within it's jurisdiction and
stamp out the disease, sis not altogether
fair, because that boas~ lacks the author
ity and, more especially, the means, of
enforcing proper health regulations in the
state" That being the case, would it not
be a good idea to disband the state board
and delegate authority to the federal gov
ernment, which has the means necessary
for the eficacious handling of contagious
and infectious diseases?
