BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR.

The word Is writ that he who runs
may read,
What is the passing breath Of earthly
fame?
But to snatch glory from the hands OF
blame
That is to be, to I've, to strive indeed.
A poor Virginia cabin gave the seed,
And fIom lis dark and lowly door
there came
A peer OF princes in the worlds &C
claim,
A master spirit for the nations need.
Strong, silent, purposeful beyond his
kind,
The ID ark of rugged force On brow and
lip.
Straight on he goes, nor turns to look
behind
Where hot the hounds come baying
at bis hip;
With one idea foremost in his mind.
Like the keen PROV OF some on forging
ship.

ENDED IN DEATH.
Final Result OF the Four Days steep
of "a st. Joseph Citizen-Physi-
clans SoreIy Puzzled.

St. Joseph, Oct. 16.-August Larger
died Saturday evening while in deep
sleep, which had continued since Tues
day last. Larger, who was watch
maker and prominent in business and
social circles, appeared in his usual
health when he retired last Tuesday
night. He did not awaken Wednesday
and all efforts of friends TO arouse him
proved useless. Physicians were sum-
moned, but their attempts to wake the
sleeper were likewise fruitless. con-
sultation of physicians was held, but
none could explain the remarkable case.
Larger at first seemed in an ordinary
slumber, but gradually his breathing
became irregular and he visibly grew
weaker from lack of nourishment until
the end came Saturday. a post-mortem
examination will be held to determine,
if possible, the cause of death.

Apropos Of all this. and other, news from

our admiration of the extremely able and
interesting news service from Paris and from
London which 1.-THE Chicago Tribune" has
been running daily in its columns Jr several
months past. Several of the Net. York dalies
have excellent cable letters from London and
sometimes other European capitals in their
Sunday issues but they appear as rule only
once a week. the brief dispatches which they
get on the other days OF the week not amount
Ing TO much in the way OF an Ineligible and
adequate presentation OF European news.

One or two OF the New York papers have
had for years a deservedly high reputation
for presenting their readers with news of in
terest from foreign parts. and the public will
not forget Its indebtedness 10 them on that
account. But IL is beyond dispute that the

Example of Oddfellowship.

Duputy Sheriff w. r. Gibson of Owes
so, who died in June, 1898, leaving a
widow and three daughters, had been an
Oddfellow for years. He was cared for
during his illness by his brethren and
buried under the auspices of the order.
Subsequently, two of his daughters died,
leaving but the bereaved widow and one
child, and to add to their trials their
home was mortgaged for the sum of 500,
and having no means nor any apparent
way Of procuring the money to pay the
mortgage there appeared to be no other
way than to submit to foreclosure and
consequent loss of the property. The
lodge TO which the deceased brother be-
longed had depleted its treasury in car
ing for the family in their affection and
was unable to take up the additional bur
den of clearing the home from the en-
cumbrance, and so, having obtained per
mission from the grand master as the
rules of the order prescribe the brethren
appealed to the sister lodges of the state
for assistance. The response was both
generous and speedy. A couple of weeks
ago the Owosso brethren and sisters met
at the residence of Mrs. Gibson and pre-
scented her with the Cancelled mortgage
and nearly a hundred dollars in addition
thereto that had been contributed for her
relief, and money is still coming in from
the different lodges. This is but an in
cident of the daily ministrations of odd
fellowship, one of the cardinal principles
of which is to bury the dead, care for the
widow and educate the orphan, a princi-
pie which not merely ornamental but
which becomes an established fact under
the ministration of the more than mil
lion of members that the order now num-
bers, expanding, as it does many millions
of dollars every year in caring for the
needy and relieving the distressed 1t is
an institution in which any man or
woman may well feel proud to hold
membership. ODDFELLow

Detroit High school Lad Kills HIM
self, ar IL Killed. While Walking
with Married Woman.

Detroit, Oct. IA. - Ferdinand Rehan,
young man of Delray, was killed mys-
teriously shortly after midnight
Thursday. Rehan had been out walk
ing with Mrs. Arthur Drouillard, do
nestle employed by Chaplain Shields at
Fort Wayne. He was about TO leave
her, near the residence of her parents,
at the corner of Crawford and South
streets, in Delray, when he was
shot. Mrs. Drouillard, who was ar
rested, says that Rehan was apparently
in happy frame OF mind, and nothing
but pleasant words passed between
them. She claims that when they
neared the home of her parents he said
he would bid her goodnight there in
stead of going up to the house. AS he
said il, and before she had time TO look
around, she heard the shot, and her
companion fell. When she recovered
sufficiently TO realize what had hap
pened she gave the alarm. The bullet
entered the young mans head. The
spot where the shooting occurred Is
well lighted, and it is not thought that
anyone could have been concealed. The
theory of suicide is advanced, and Is
supported by the fact that the bullet
was fired from a pistol which Rehan
carried The husband of Mrs. Drouil-
lard. who has not been living with her
lately, is also under arrest. He says he
is able to prove he was nowhere near
when the shot was fired.

BEAUTIFUL AND FAMOUS.
Strange Fate of "a Woman Who Might
Have Ruled England.

Of all the famous ladies Of the Eng
fish court whom Mrs. Aubrey Rich
ardson has described for us in her vi
vacious and entertaining volume, there
is no more attractive figure than that
of Lady Sarah Lennox, daughter Of the
duke of Richmond and great-grand-
daughter of Charles III. Her story
goes TO prove once more that 1t is not
so much the austere and narrow-mind-
ed woman who secures the devotion
and alteration Of her children, but the
woman who-like the winsome and
brilliant Lady Sarah-is trimming over
with wit, kindness, generosity and
charm Her beauty, too, was unde-
niable, though her eyes were some
what small. Her portrait at Holland
house exhibits an extraordinary re-
semblance to the most famous beauty
OF our own time-in a word, to Mrs.
Langtry.
The fate Of Lady Sarah Lennox was
strange one. She might have been
queen of England, but 1T was her lot
to wed a commoner, a racing baronet,
for whom she cared little. to turn the
heads Of all the men of her day, TO
elope with Lord William Gordon, to be
divorced by her husband. who, two
years later, wanted 10 marry her again
and to finish by wedding, when she
was 40 the Hon. Sir George Napier.
The two sons of this marriage were
famous soldiers.
When she was IL George III, then
%, was so much in love with her that
he wanted to raise her to the throne.
but, with the willfullness of a young
coquette. she trifled with him and af-
fairs fell through. The two lovers,
however. never forget each other Fiji
ty years later, her niece bearing the
same name. was presented at court.
and the old king eagerly inquired II
the girl was beautiful like her aunt.
When she came before him he begged
the privilege of ablind man of passing
his fingers over her face. For the
king went blind in his old age and so
did his boyhood's love, Lady Sarah.
