AW0KE TO MEET DEATH.
Miss Frances Letter Dies In the
Flames of Her Own Clothing.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Jan. 2s-Mss
Frances Letter. the 16-year-old daughter of
George Letter, weIl-to-do farmer residing
five miles northwest of this CITY, met death
in a peculiar manner. The girl, with her
escort, Charles Banter, attended a revival
meeting. They returned home late cold and
tired. Sitting before the warm stove they
soon fell asleep. Shortly afterwards the oe-
cupants Of the house were aroused by frantic
screams. Banter awoke in time to see his
sweetheart dashing out of the door all ablaze
The wind added force to the flames, and the
young woman continued to run until she sank
from exhaustion.
She was taken back to the house. and, after
suffering three hours, died. Before she died
she related to the attending physician how
the accident occurred, and absolved the young
man from all blame.
She said that they had been sitting in front
of the stove and fallen asleep. The wind had
blown the gas flame against her dress and
ignited It. and that she was enveloped in
flames before she was thoroughly awakened.

sHARKEY TO HIS LLKINe

Tom Sharkey is just the sort of fight
er that Fitzsimmons has liking to
meet. He wants an opponent to come
to him. Sharkey must cut out the pace.
He must finish his adversary within a
few rounds, or not at ALL The longer
the battle is prolonged the more will
1t favor Fitzsimmons. Sharkey to win
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-29
IS A KNOCKER-oJJT.

That Fitzsimmons is knocker-out is
clearly shown in his record. The ma
1ority of his victories are so recorded.
He is aware of the dangers Of a mix
up, and never permits one, save for
the purpose of landing a knockout. HIS
clever drawing on of Maher and Cree
don. and Choynski and Hall and many
other men he has faced in the ring has
demonstrated that Fitzsimmons must
be avoided by an adversary who can
not keep clear of those inducing
fists. That the Cornishman is a hard
hitter any man who has met him-and
Sharkey Is one of the number-wiil adj
nit. Hence that he is very dangerous
is an established fact. He is also an
adept when it comes to defense. Clever
as was Corbett he could not land eff
fectively upon the Timaru blacksmith.
He landed. and frequently. and while
his blows brought the red, yet they
did not seem to materially affect the
Cornishnlan.
The record-union., 1899-02-08


of their Saturdays defeat is still fresh
in mind
One officer who had Indian CAMPAIGN
Ing said to-day in discussing the situ-
alton: Every day that is lost in fol-
lowing up the blow at the insurgents
means an added ten men to the Ameri-
can death list when the final summing
up of the Philippine situation is made.
The Philippine natives are like all other
half-savage peoples; they are. governed
in their own aggression by nothing but
fear of being whipped by their enemy.
and they cannot understand any for
bearance on the part of their opponent
except the theory that he is afraid Of
them. We have had the same thing
for thirty years in our own Indian
wars, the British have had the same
thing in India and Africa, and so have
all the Caucasian races wherever they
have had to deal with half-civiIized
people We lost more men killed by
Indians in the West throughout the
mild, temporizing and supposedly hu-
name policy of successive Administra-
tions, than we ever would have lost in
a few sharp, sound thrashings admin
istered in successive doses, just to show
the untutored savages that we mean
business, and would whip him first and
treat him right afterward.
When the Government abandoned
the old Milk River route, as it was
called, through the northern Sioux
country and evacuated the lands to
the Indians by treaty, it really precipi-
tated the whole of the great Sioux up
rising that included the Custer mas
sacre. This may sound harsh and
prejudicial, but the fact was that in
spite of the treaty and pow-wows the
Indians thought we withdrew from
their country because we were afraid
of them, and they went to burning
abandoned military stations, and as
there was nobody there to stop them.
and nobody cared whether they burned
them or not, they went from that to
the warpath and commenced wiping
out settlements outside their concession.
THE case is just the same to-day in
the Philippines 1t is unfortunate for
them thatSthe natives can't understand
a humane 1plicy on the part of this
Government orr that we intend to deal
honestly with them. Forbearance on
our part now simply means to them
that we are afraid of them, and the
quicker we whip them thoroughly and
disabuse their minds, the sooner we can
enter on &hrArr OF peaceful reconstruc-
ton and reform
