THE LADY OR THE TIGER.
It's Author and Mrs. Stockton Spend
ing q Short Time in Washington.

Washington, March 9.-Mr. and Mrs.
Frank R. Stockton are spending a few
weeks in Washington. They came here
on account of the severe winter in New
York, and they enjoy the rest and
milder climate Of Washington. Mrs.
Stockton is a comely, gray-haired wom-
an of perhaps So She enjoys the gay
life of Washington and enters into it
with great zest. Mr.. Stockton is more
serious. He is not at all like his writ
ings and it is difficult to associate the
thoughtful, serious man with the fan
tastic stories which have emanated
from his pen, with their free expressions
of humor.
Mr.. Stockton has been approached by
many correspondents since his visit to
Washington, but if there is one thing
more than another which he regards
with a shrinking of spirit it is the aver
age reporter. He was at one time rep
resented as being in Washington to write
a story of life at the capital as he saw
it, and he was greatly aggrieved that
the impression should go abroad he was
here to spy on his friends and write
stories of their dOings and sayings
when they were entertaining him. Now,
however, that he is not being enter
tanned he may with perfect impunity
write his impressions if he desires.

A ROUGH RIDERS DEATH.
One Whom Roosevelt Commended
Highly Dead From Disease
Contracted in Cuba

Kansas City, March 9.-Marion Hol-
derman, who was one of John Browns
rough riders, or Sons of Freedom dur
ing the border troubles before Kansas
was admitted to statehood, came to
Kansas City to purchase some Here
ford cattle for his 5000 acre ranch in
the Indian Territory.
The old man was bowed down with
grief over the death of his son, Bert T.
HoIderman. The young man was one
of Colonel RoOsevelt's rough riders in
the late war with Spain, and the aged
father carried in his pocket a precious
letter of sympathy and coincidence from
the gallant colonel of the rough riders.
The son returned to his home in the
able discharge, on the back of which
was the following in Colonel Roose-
velts handwriting:
Bert T. HoIderman, in all the fights
in the Santiago campaign, enlisted at
Muscogee, I. T.. One of the best SOL
diers and one of the most loyal, honest
and hardworking men it has ever been
my good fortune to meet.-Theodore
Roosevelt, Colonel, First cavalry, U.
S. v"
The terrible heat, together with the
hardships and privations which were
the lot of the rough riders in Cuba, left
it's impress on the young soldier, and
despite the efforts of his physicians and
the invigorating influences of the coun-
try air and his home surroundings, he
died a few days ago OF brain fever.

FOND OF HORSEFLESH.
It Has Become a Regular Dish For
Man and Beast at the Kansas
CitY Zoo.

Kansas City, March 9.-When the
management of the Zoo began, about
two weeks ago, to feed horsehesh to
the fesh-eating animals, Capt Matt
land, the well known press agent of the
show, gave his wife her first taste of
horse meat.
1t all came about this way:
The captain and his wife were watch
ing the Zoo butcher cut up the carcass
of a horse which had been shot by rea-
son of having a broken leg, and Nine.
Flora remarked that the meat looked
good enough to eat The captain as
sured her that it was very good in
deed, and the matter was dropped
After the madame had sought her bou-
doir, which, by the way, is ornamented
with the 1.-the bodies of boa construct
ors and rattlesnakes, the captain slyly
cut large stake from the carcass, took
it to the butchers and had it sent home
to Mime. Flora. She proceeded to broil
the same, and then, with the captain,
sat down to supper.
After she had eaten he asked her
how she liked horse meat. The madame
was Mortified, but finally became recon-
ciled. and now horse meat is a regu-
lar dish on the captains table and the
madame likes it better than she does
beef Many of the attaches of the Zoo
also use horsef1esh as an article of food.

CURE FOR ALCOHOLISM.
St. Louis Judge Administers an Oath
Which Subjects Violators toiProse-
cution For Perjury.

St. Louis, March 9.-Justice of the
Peace Moritz Oehler of East St. LOUIS
advances a new idea for the cure of the
drink habit. The initial cost of the cure
is far less than that of the gold cure"
or any of the other cures so extensive
ly advertised. The justice has the Illi-
nois law enlisted in his aid, and up to
last evening had turned out 10 gradu-
ates. Should any of these graduates
return to drinking they are liable to find
themselves in Jail and possibly in the
penitentiary on a charge of perjury.
Justice Oehler's idea is to administer
an iron-bound oath to the man who de-
sires to stop drinking. Two or more
witnesses are at hand to subscribe their
names in each case, and should the
oath be violated they will be SubpOenaed
to prosecute the man on a charge of
perjury
The idea of curing men of the drink
habit by taking the law into his con-
fidence, so to speak, occurred to Justice
Oehler about a week ago. Since then he
has had one and sometimes two candl-
dates a day who desired to cure them
selves of the drink habit, but who wish
ed the Justices assistance The first
man to whom the justice administered
the oath to stop drinking for a year
was a very dear friend. He had taken
the gold cure and several other cures,
but short while after had fallen into
the same old habits. AS a last resort
he appealed to Justice Oehler for as
sistance. Judge Oehler thought for a
few minutes and then told his friend to
call again in an hour.
The man returned on time and when
he entered the Justices court room he
was asked to step before the bench.
Judge Oehler asked him if he really de-
sired to stop drinking. He replied that
he did and then Judge Oehler told him
that he would administer a pledge in the
shape of an oath, a violation of which
meant perjury, for which, should he be
convicted. he would have to serve a
term in the state penitentiary. Judge
Oehler's friend took the pledge and a
few minutes later walked from the Of
fee bearing a copy of the pledge and
oath in his hand

Before 5000 People at Madison
Square Garden.
His Head and Face Crushed by
the Fall.

New York, March 9.-Thomas Donald
son, of Bath Beach, L. L, known the
world over as a champion high diver
diVed from the roof of Madison Square
garden, a distance of IS feet, yesterday
afternoon, with probably fatal results
Donaldson travelled for some years
with Barnum and Bailey, and has been
the star attraction at the Sportsman's
show now running in the Garden. He
has been making two dives daily. The
tank is less than eight feet deep and
on two or three former occasions
Donaldson did not have the success ex-
pected and came out of the water with
hemorrhages from the nose and ears.
Harry Cornish has charge of the water
sports and it was he who gave Donald
son the signal to dive.
Three thousand people were present
and saw the famous diver lean from
the platform and falling slowly for
ward make the plunge. He shot
straight downward, but it was plain be
fore he got half the distance that he
had lost control of his body. He struck
the water head first and failed to come
up. Small circles of blood came bub-
bling up from the bottom and Harry
Reeder, the amateur champion swim
mer and an attache of the Garden
plunged into the water. The man dived
several times and finally Reeder brought
parently dead, with blood flowing from
mouth. nOstrils and ears and from
wounds on the head. Donaldson was
carried to one of the dressing rooms.
and attended by several physicians. He
was then removed to the New York hos
pital
He has a fractured skull with concus-
sion of the brain and the left side of his
face is crushed in. The surgeons at
the hospital say that his death is a
question OF hours.
Witnesses of the accident say that
as Donaldson left the platform the
colors which were wrapped about him
became loose. His attention was divert
ed and he did not have his wits about
him when he struck the water. He
weighed more than 200 pounds and
struck with terrific force. Donaldson
was As years of age.

FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE.
DR.. Edward Everett Hale Says Cars
Proposition Will Be Met.

Boston, March "a meeting to advo-
cate arbitration of disputes between
nations was held in fremont temple
today. Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale
was the principal speaker. He said:
I'VE have come here to forget the
things that are behind and to think
only of the things that are before. My
text is the rescript of the car, which
I hope everyone will ponder over.
DIR. Hale then read the rescript and
said:
This conference proposed by the
car will meet just as surely as the
world goes round. For the first time in
the nineteenth century body of TWEEN
ty-Six men will come together to con-
slider questions of perpetual peace"
DR.. Hale showed the possibility of
universal peace between nations by re-
ferring to the experience of the United
States, where forty-five independent
states refer all their disputes to one
permanent tribunal, which decides be
tween them on all disturbing questions
that may arise. What is possible for
the states of the union, he said, is pos
sibIe for the states of Europe.

MRS. WILSON'S CHARITY.
New York Woman Cares For a Wait
in One of the Founding Homes.

New York, March 9.-Mrs. Orme Will
sons latest charity is the adoption of a
little waif whom she will see properly
started in life. Not long ago a glimpse
into a founding ward caused Mrs. VIII
son to send a check for 81, 900 to further
the work.
She said to a friend: "Those little
faces haunt me. Every time look at
my own idolized children a vision of
that line of baby faces comes to me.
I have never seen a more heartrending
sight than those motherless infants"
Mrs Wilson went on to say that she
thought n practical way to ameliorate
the condition of these tiny unfortunates
would be for every woman of means
to make one child her special care.
She is now illustrating this sensible
idea. In the charity calendars there is
an emaciated, careworn looking waif
known as Mrs. Wilson's baby His
name is John Shaw, and he is to be
Mrs. Wilson's special charge if his per-
iod of life can be heightened.
A competent nurse and a comfortable
country home have been provided by
Mrs. Wilson's bounty.
