Interesting Story Of the authorship OF

Some one has said to treasure UP MEM
orials of the great and good IS to NIL an
exalted duty of mankind; while on the
other hand, for a people to forget its ne
roes and poets is to be iSnobie ana I'M

that even Virginians-those typical debt
ors to a mighty past-have caught the
fever of material gain and growth until
they are in danger OF falling to keep
green the memory OF those who have
served them well in song and story.
Hence it has been a peculiar pleasure
to lneny of his admirers to read IN the
NJ. Conservative Review q charming
sketch of the late James Baron Hope,
the poet Of the Washington and Lee
monuments and of the Yorktown Cen
tennial selected for that august occa-
sion by the Congress of the United
states. The article has the added inter
est of being written by his daughter,
Mrs. Janey Hope Mari, of Lexington, va
herself the welder OF a graceful ana
forceful pen. and the editor of "A Wreath
Of Virginia Bay Leaves the latest edl-
ton of her fathers poems.
She records a very interesting incident
in connection with the friendship exist

An Inscription Written by the Famons

of the London Standard, as follows:

have done, alike to mother and son. in
asserting that ''tilere is no Inscription

If there had been such an omission it
would have represented ineXpressible
sorrow, but dutiful devotion was equal

CHICAGO "REDs" ARRESTED.
Police Prevent Anarchist Meeting to
Approve Humbert's Assassination.


Anarchy tried to come to life in Chi
cago again for a little while Sunday
afternoon. The effort continued long
enough to cause riot in the street in
front of the West Twelfth Street Turner
Hall. The riot lasted long enough only
for the police to gather up Mrs. Lucy
Parsons and dump her in patrol wagon,
grab Abraham Edelstalt because he
yelled Shame" to smash Clement
pfeuntzner because he was supposed to
be dangerous anarchist, to drag in two
other anarchists, and, with this batch of
five in the wagon, to go galloping off to
the police station.
This was all that came of the proposed
celebration in West Twelfth Street Turn
er Hall of the murder Of King Hum
bert. A handful of policemen was all
that was needed to put an end to the
rssssns and hopes Of revived anarchy in
Chicago.
King Humbert's assassination was to
have been celebrated with big meeting.
Mrs. Parsons, whose husband, Albert
Parsons. was hanged for completely in
the Haymarket massacre in 1886 and
who was, with her husband, one of the
leaders of the anarchists then, was to
have been the principal speaker at the
meeting. L. S. Oliver, another old-time
anarchist, was to have made a speech
Simonetta, the Italian anarchist, was to
have discussed what he called the master
stroke of Bressi in numbering King Hum
bert. This meeting was to have for its
watchword the cry that anarchy was not
dead in Chicago. The police set about to
demonstrate to the anarchists that an
archy was dead in Chicago.

GILBERT GATES. consider the evil
dence. Their deliberations ended at $50
>. m. in the formally expressed opinion
that Jester is innocent.
This famous trial, which has now been
brought to a close, is perhaps without
parallel. Alexander Jester was charged
with the murder of boy companion Gill
bert Gates. near Paris, Mo-, in 1871.
In the testimony given by Azel A..
Gates, father of the murdered boy were
the allegations upon which the State de-
pended for conviction. Briefly, they were
these: Early in the fall of 1870 Gilbert
Gates left his home in West Chicago up
ON hunting trip through Missouri.
While travelling he was met by Jester.
The pair were seen together, and then
Jester appeared alone with two teams
one Of them his own and the other that
belonging to the missing boy.
Mr. Gates traced Jester and his som
through Missouri until all track of the
boy vanished. Then he followed Jester
into Illinois, and satisfied himself that
young Gates had been foully dealt with.
A few weeks later Jester was arrested
in Kansas, and young Gates property
was found upon him. He was taken to

ATTACK ON THE SHAH
LIFE OF PERSiA'S RULER At
TEMPTED IN PARIS.
Assassin Uses Cane, Knife and Re-
volver in Effort to kiIl-Evidence OF
Plot to Murder Another of the
Old World Monarchs.

An attempt on the life OF the Shah OF
Persia, muzaHer-ed-Din, was made in
Paris Thursday morning, but luckily it
resulted in no harm to his majesty AS
the Shah, accompanied by his grand III
zier, was driving in landau, young
man jumped from out of a crowd of by
ISLANDERS and before any one knew what
he was about, he raised a cane and aimed
a blow at the head of the Shah. His
majesty showed wonderful presence OF
mind, jumped TO his feet and at the same
time stretching out his right arm, broke
the force of the blow. The would-be muir
derer instantly coolly thrust his other
hand under his coat and from the folds
of his shirt he pulled out long gleam-
ing knife and quickly made thrust at
the Shah with this weapon.
The grand yizier, the detectives and POI
lice, by this time getting over the sur
prise of the suddenness of this dastardly
act pounced on the assassin, overpower-
ed and disarmed him. In the scutlie that
followed a revolver fell to the floor Of the
carriage. According to one policeman,
who arrested the assassin, the revolver
belonged to the murderer According to
otHVfs IL UeIoHseu 10 tue SFdhu N4herp
who, in drawing it from his pocket, had
it knocked out of his hand during the
scuffle. The whole thing took less than
minute and bore all the evidence OF
being well planned beforehand
A crowd of 500 people, who witnessed
the attempted assassination, made a rush
toward the would-be murderer and tried
to attack him, but there We're many POI
lice in the neighborhood acting as guards
of the Shah, and these prevented the mob
from doing violence to the miscreant. The
prisoner was taken to the police station.
He declined to give his name or nation
