THE GLORY OF THE COWBOY.
His Progress From an Ideal Tough to
IA ChiVaIric Soldier.

From the Omaha World Herald.)
It was only few years ago that the
American cowboy was left pretty much tC
himself on the great plains west of the
Missouri River. There was no particular
admiration for him then except in the
hearts of the boys Of the nation who read
of his exploits as frequently greatly ex-
aggerated in the dime novels of the day
OF course the comparatively small number
OF people who were on the frontier and
who knew him liked him. but in the minds
of most he was a reckless adyenturer and
hard character. while in the eyes of Eu-
rope he was no better than a cutthroat
and bandit
Since the cowboy has been opened up to
civilization it is found that he is made OF
splendid stuff. and it is with vast credit to
himself that he has stood the test of close
inspection on the part of those 10 whom
at a distance he was such a terror.
The world loves good shot and a bold
rider. The cowboys accomplishments ia
these hardy practices always commended
him to general attention, and it was while
making exhibitions of his excellence in
these respects that the people of the older
settled parts of the country and OF still
older Europe came to know something
about his mental and moral makeup. They
found that he was not so tough a fellow
after all. They discovered that he had an
intelligence a humanity. a chivalry. and
u wholesome respect for genuine morality
that coUS elled an entire reconstruction of
their opinion of him. So it was not long
after his packed steers became popular
with the public until the cowboy. who fol
lowed the refrigerator ear in the show car,
became popular himself. and since the bat
ties of San Juan and FL Caney he has worn
a crown.
The world has now become his plain
He has become world power and every
body will congratulate him on the extern
sion OF his sphere Of influence Just now
he is an American product that is in great
demand abroad. England would take
" hole regiments of him II she could get
them. and it is to be presumed that the
next European nation that gets into war
will also cry aloud for him.

HANDSOME JUNE W. GAYLE.
The Kentucky ivc-EIect
Hn. n Reputation for Benuty.

LEXINGTON. Ky. Jan. June W.
Gayle, Congressman elect from this, the
famous Ashland district Of Kentucky. is
native OF owenton. the county seat of Owen
county, and is widely famed for being 4
handsome man. His beauty is expected to
cause stir in Congress. He is thirty-one
years old, a banker by vocation. and had no
political aspirations until after the death OF
his friend, Congressman +. L. Settle.
Then his friends and Settles friends
insisted on his making the race for
the vacancy. and after much persua
sion he at last consented to enter the
contest. The nominating convention at
Frankfort was one OF the hottest party
contests OF the year. and on the sixty-third
ballet Mr.. Gayle received the nomination
over several strong and influential Candi-
dates. The Republicans and Brown Demo-
Gratis then nominated w. G. Owens, of
Scott county, who defeated Col w. c. p.
Breckenridge for the nomination for Con-
gress In 1894. Mr.. Gayle's campaign was
not marked by any enthusiasm for him. as
the leaders of the Goebel wing OF the Dem
ocratic party did not consider him strong
supporter of their friend. In fact, he had
been opposed TO the nomination OF Goebel
for Governor. In spite Of the apathy of
his own party MIR. Gayle defeated owens by
nearly 5000 majority.
Mr.. Gayle is a man of charming per-
sonality. He is about six feet tall. has
regular and almost boyish features, deep
blue eyes. light brown hair, strong
mouth and nose. and a splendid bearing.
There is a frankness about him which is
altogether absent from the average poll
tician. AS an illustration: While making
bis canvass he told a newspaper man at
Lexington that he did not want the place
he was seeking; that he felt he was not
competent properly to represent the Ash
land district in Congress; but he declared
his friends and the friends Of Mr.. Settle
had pressed the matter on hiri so strongly
that he could not refuse them. and he was
therefore making the race much against
his will and against his personal convic-
tons

A MESSAGE FROM INGERsoLL.
Philadelphia spirituaIists Claim to

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. Robert

quently. Through the mediumsbip Of Mrs.
Adelaide Ruff. who says she has been Sc
Iected by the distinguished dead TO de
liver his postmorten addresses, the spirit
delivered a most stirring and characteris-
tic speech before a large gathering OF
Spiritualists at Mrs Rufus residence 1873
Paramount Avenue. The enthusiasm over
the presence of the distinguished spirit
was unbounded and as Mrs. Ruff recovered
from her trance she received an ovation.
The Philadelphia Psychic Club, thus
favored by the departed agnostic COM
prises ten well-known spirit mediums. 1t
has been holding a series of remarkable
weekly seances. at each of which Inger-
soil. the members say, has treated those
present with an eloquent address. Two OF
the best addresses we're caught by a
photograph and will be widely dissemi-
mated for the edification OF Spiritus,ists

markable degree. II was after the weekly
meeting of the club of November 10 that
Mrs. Ruff suddenly rose in trance, and
In a deep, full voice began to speak. de-
claring that the Spirit Of lngersoli desired
to address those present. The address
lasted half an hour.
When the Spiritualists had assembled
Thursday night some delay was caused by
the presence OF variety OF spirits which
interfered with the expected guest of the
evening. Finally Mrs. Run sprang to her
feet with remarkable energy. and in a voice
that nearly every one present declared
sounded exactly like the voice of Ingcrsoll
began to speak. Her words came rapidly.

THE EMOTION OF MOSES.
How the Hebrew LnwEiver Received
n Divine Assurance.

The Rev. DIR. Randolph McKim. rector of
the Epiphany Church, in C Street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets north
west, preached yesterday morning from the
text contained in Exodus xxxiii 1i-15, in
which God instructs Moses on the journey
into the wilderness.
DR.. McKim said in part:
my brethren, this promise, which fell
SO gratefully on the ear OF Moses ought TO
be as sweet and as full OF comfort 10 us,
wandering as we do this evening on the
threshold OF a new year. with its unknown
experience Of trial. of difficulty. OF tempta-
ton. possibly OF sorrow and affilction be-
fore US.
And first think for a moment of the
deep feeling OF Moses when he realized thai
he could not undertake the w terness
journey without the assurances Of the
presence of God. No character In history
is more completely associated and idenu
fed with the idea OF strength than that OF
Moses.
Michael Angeles famous statue in Flor
ence rises before US the very incarnation OF
power and courage in human form and fea-
ture.
For massiveuess, for force, for gran
deur, none OF the leaders OF men. none OF
the great men who have made history. sur
pass in our imagination Moses. the stern
Hebrew lawgiver. who has written the
Decalogue upon the conscience OF the
world. Yet, see his profound emotion and
even fear at the idea of facing his work
and his life without the presence of God:
II thy presence go not with me, carry us
not up hence.
''It may be said. no wonder even Moses
felt the need of the constant presence and
guidance of the Almighty when we con-
slider the nature OF the enterprise be had
in hand"
DR.. McKim also spoke of the az stiles

the world with only the gospel TO- their
weapon, and OF Stanley and Livingston ex-
ploring the unknown depths of the dark
continent. should have been deeply i'm
pressed with their need Of the Almighty

Gently ascertained that the French tariff
imposed a heavy duty on all advertising
matter, and that the mass OF printed stuff
advertising their wares could be circulated
in France without being subjected to tax
only by having 1t printed in that country.
Representations on the subject were made
to the State Department by intending ad--
vertisers and the matter brought to the
attention OF the French Government. The
French Embassy in Washington has in
formed the department that the Govern
ment at Paris has consented TO suspend the
customs duties on advertising matter from
the United States intended for circulation
at the exposition. Firms which intend to
exhibit at Paris have spent large sums in
preparing artistic and valuable advertising
devices. and the imposition OF the pre-
scribed duties would have been great
on them.
