A few words may not be amiss con-
corning tn proper hanging of pictures,
which is, in truth, an art in itself. The
old fashion of hanging the suspending
cord in an acute angle from one hook
is now considered bad taste. Every
picture should hang by means of two
cords and the rings should be placed
SO that the picture will not lean for
ward from the walls. Oil paintings,
water colors and etchings should not
be mixed up Unfortunately. Try a
couple of water colors by themselves
in one wall space and a group of pho
tographs or carbon prints by them
selves and note the effect. Pictures
should not hang too close, neither too
high nor too low for inspection. Dis
regard of these points spoils many a
fine picture.

fn4ffE DEAD BEATS.

There are a few dead beats in
this town who have the habit oil
dropping in the Office every week
to read the first papers that drop
from the press, this practice will
not be tolerated in the future, and
these dead beats are respectfully
requested to keep away from this
Office, their presence is not needed.
If the paper is worth reading it
is certainly worth S cts a copy or
one dollar a year, which makes it
less than 2 cts per copy. If it is
not worth that it is not worth
reading.
Hereafter the dead beats will be
anceremously requested to take
the door.

Large Negro Registration in
St. James.
Donaldsonville Chief.

| OoudiusouVillo OHicIs
We mentioned the report sever
al weeks ago that a disposition was
being manifested in the parish Of
st. James to encourage and assist
negroes to register as voters and
to throw obstacles in the way of
registration of white citizens whose
sympathies are known to be
against the administration. The
result of this Democratic policy is
shown by the fact that 158 names
of colored men have placed upon
the registration books, and had
not the Observation-Disclosures
who comprise a msjority of the
reputable white citizens and tax
payers of the parish effectively
put stop to the scaly business by
employing an honorable and fear
less man to keep watch over the
registration, st. James would
doubtless have been able to boast
of as many negro voters as the pa
rish of Orleans. Thank to the ac-
tion of the Observation-Disclosures,
however, not negro has have able
to register in st. James during the
past two weeks, those who made
the effort having failed to comply
with the requirements of the law.
Measures will be adopted to
purge the rolls Of the large num-
Der of names that are believed to
have been illegally added to the
books of the st. Sames regis
trar, as the white people of that
parish are determined that the me-
gro vote shall no longer be mani
pulated there to overcome their
own.
Up to tho 18th. inst, the total
registration in st. James was 403
whites and l58 negroes.

are compelling the National City bank
TO make a fair distribution OF these
vast sums, what possible reason can
they have for hiding the facts What
would Mr.. Cage have thought If, when
he was president of a national bank in
Chicago, his cashier had come to him
and said: "Mr. Gage, I really cannot
permit you to know what 1 am doing
with the banks money. You will have
to be satisfied with the statement of
totals and results at the end of the
year"
Is Ii not against public policy for the
secretary of the treasury In any such
circumstances to turn over his func-
tions and the public funds to private
money lenders, however good the
security they may give? Is it not a
gross abuse of public trust for him to
make this assignment to a little group
of the financial hackers of the admins
tration's political fortunes, and that by
secret agreement?
IL Mr.. Gage is wronging his public
reputation by this secrecy his redress is
easy to obtain. All he has to do is to

STRANGE ROMANCE.
or a Facinating Ohio woman Revealed I'm
the Courtroom

(New Orleans Spe. to N. Y. Worldly
Two faded letters, a worn out yellow
decree of divorce; an ancient daguer-
reotype and two old-fashioned ear
rings that appeared in this daguerro-
type-these were the bits of eircumstan-
cial evidence that decided the contest
over the estate of Fanny Sweet and
gave her rightful heirs fortune of
$54,765.
Justice Monroe, of the supueme court,
has just handed down the decision in
the celebrated case of the succession of
Fannie Minerva Seymour, of Hinkley,
or Brown, or Smith, or Sweet, as you
please. 1t was a bitter contest though,
and Charles Clinton Brown, of Sacre-
mento, Cal, and Mrs. Rosanna McVey
Fuller, of Huntington, w. Va, are now
proved to be brother and niece of the
dead woman, whose life was spent in
the gay under world of New York and
New Orleans in bygone days She died
in 1896, after a life in which she was
the adventures in half a dozen inter-
national episodes.
The issue at stake was solely whether
Fannie Minerva Seymour, who left the
$4,000 fortune in United States bonds,
was really Rachael Fannie Brown, of
Lawrence county, Ohio. The woman
herself had repeatedly declared that
she came from England on the ship
waterloo, in 1846, and had no living
kin. So the state prepared to take the
fortune to itself by virtue of the
authority of the public administrator.
Then appeared Mr.. Brown and Mrs Nc
Vey with their claims and relation
ship, and after three years of thrash
ing through the courts they proved that
they We're the woman's kin, and that
she had not been born in London, but
In a little hamlet in Ohio.
The establishment of the case raked
up Fannie Browns life from her
cradle In squalid little settlement
Paddy Creek, Ohio--to her death in a
gilded den in New Orleans three quar-
ters of a century later. Her parents
were very poor. Two of the daughters
went to the bad--one was Fannie.
She drifted to New Orleans In 1847
and married a worthless fellow named
smith. There she parted with her sister
Henrietta, who went westward with the
crowd OF argonauts seeking gold in
California in 1S49. Henrietta left her
little girl, cornelia, for Fannie to care
for, and she put the child with her
married sister, Mrs. McVey whose
daughter, Mrs. Fuller. was one of the
claimants.
| Young, dashingb handsome, attrac-
tive, Fannie Browns life in the sunny
south and golden west reads like a
novel She followed her sister west and
eventually became proprietress in
Sacramento of the Palace" A place
the least said about it the better. In
1853 her California career was brought
to a sudden close. She shot a stage
driver named Putnam In drunken,me-
Zee in her palace, narrowly escaped
iynching, was sent 10 San Francisco on
prison boat, gave bail and Jumped her
bond. California never saw her again.

The speakerShip contest now going on
at Columbus, seems TO have narrowed
down to a fight between the state
Liquor league and the Antl-Saloon
league Senator Hanna, it is stated, is
supporting Reynolds in the hope of
placating the temperance element of the
party. Lieutenant Governor Caldwell,
who will preside over the senate. is the
avowed friend of the liquor element in
the state and will take care Of all legls-
lation in the senate effecting their in
terests, while Reynolds, if elected
speaker, will take care of all temper
ance legislation in the House. BY this
plan, it is expected no harm can be done
and both sides will be thus satisfied.
Time alone can tell the wisdom or IA
tuity of such q course, but that the
whole question is one of politics, is ap-
parent to all who have watched the sit
uation as it has been progressing.

Returning eastwardly by way OF
Panama she met Abraham Miller
Hinkley, scion of a rich New York
| family, and married him. She tried
to glide into respectability now, but
the old spirit awoke after three years
and she slipped away--once more to
enter the whirl of New Orleans as
Fannie Sweet.
Her modest behavior convinced many
that she was wronged wife. Two
New Yor<ers, of great prominence-C.
A. Stetson, proprietor of the Astor
House, and r. M. Blatchford, leader
of the New York bar-wrote letters
attesting to her great good character
when she sewed her brother-in-law Nc
Vey for slander. Her lawyer at the
woman's suggestion, had written to
these gentlemen, and received the most
flattering epistles in reply.
Forty years afterward, when she died,
old and broken by lifetime of excess, a
search of Fannie Browns effects
brought to light a sealed envelope, on
which lay the dust of half century.
On the back was this: -
kind Friend: Will you please at my
death burn this package and oblige the
dead? I will plead for you in heaven
il you do as / wish and burn this
package. Er
Mrs. Fannie M. Hinkley."
But the envelope was not burned. It
was opened by the order of the court.
In it was the old time decree of di-
vorce, granted her from Hinkley and
the two faded old letters certifying to
her good character. They had been
obtained by duphcity, but she treasured
them just the same. IT was one of the
little ironies of life that the one thing
that she had kept as her greatest prize
should have linked her to a past which
she tried so hard to evade.
In 1861 she sailed for England in
mans clothing as the companion of
John Lincoln, who had commission to
buy powder abroad for the Confederate
government. Soon after Lincoln died
suddenly and the notorious Mrs. Hink-
ley returned to New Orleans. She was
never openly accused Of causing his
death, but the shadow of the tragedy
rested over her for many years. She
actually recovered $4,000 as her share
of the proceeds of the contract.
She married William Reed Mills at
the close of the war and actually died

word drop about her Ohio family. She
always declared she was English.
Two witnesses actually went on the
stand and swore they had accompanied
her across on the ship Waterloo in 1S46.
But the New York custom house pre-
sented the ships passenger list and
neither the witnesses names nor Mrs.
Seymour's were on it. Another striking
piece of evidence was daguerrotype
of Mrs. Fannie Brown. The micro
scope showed that the pair of earrings
In the picture were the same as those
produced by Mrs. Fuller, who swore
she got them from her aunt, Mrs
Brown, the original Of the picture.
This settled the case. Mrs. Browns
identity was clearly proved, hard as she
had tried in life to hide it, and in a
few DAYS her brother and niece will
get the money. 1t only needs
the transfer of the bonds in which the
money is all invested.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-12-29

Many Republicans in Stark county
are advocating the nomination of Sen
ator S. j. Williams of Alliance for con-
gres next year. Mr.. Williams has not
yet consented to be candidate, but
there seems to be a general feeling in
Stark county, as always, that Mollie
Stark should furnish the congress-
man for this district and that she
can do so if the Republicans but unite
upon one man.-Youngstown Telegram.
This looks like an endorsement of I'm
Gle Silas's candidacy by the Telegram.
But as the Stark county Republicans
understand it, Senator Williams has not
only consented, but is already actively
engaged in seeking the nomination. 1t
is said, however, that several prominent
Canton Republicans have aspirations
to succeed Congressman Taylor. 1t is
also stated, on good authority, that
Tayler is anxious to succeed himself,
and that he has the support of the Can
ton Republican organ. Besides, Mr..
Tayler will no doubt have the support
of all the church people in this district
because of his fight against the Polyg-
amous Roberts. The situation in the
Eighteenth congressional district is
really interesting and will continue to be
from now on.
