Terry McGovern, the champion ban

infant in the eyes of the law. He en-
gagged in the saloon business in South
Brooklyn with Samuel S. Harris. Beer
and other articles were got from the
Long Island brewery, which also fitted
up the saloon, on June 4, 1899. Mccoy
ern & Harris made a mortgage for
81 500 in favor of the Long Island
brewery They are alleged, besides
this, to owe the brewery s417.20 for
liquors furnished, SITS for rent and
S109.9S for money borrowed. The
Long Island brewery began an action

Alaska an invalid, and had been in

caused and kept up by the use of cot

real cause, she abandoned coffee. and
finding Postum Cereal Coffee in the

AN ERRATIC CAREER
CLOSED BY DEATH.
Demise of Joseph Cowen, a Famous
British millionaire RecIuse.
Although a BeaconsfieId Imperalist,
He Was Friend of Conspirators
From Moscow TO Madrid.

LONDON, February 24.-The death
of Mr.. Joseph Cowen, the coal mine
owner, member of parliament and
proprietor of the Newcastle Chronicle,
has removed one of the most remark
able figures in English life. and one
of the most extraordinary men in Eu-
rope. His whole life and personality
teemed with vivid contrasts. He was
a millionaire, yet dressed in slouchy
clothes and was as brilliant orator as
ever held the house OF commons
breathless attention, yet of small stat
ure and awkward gait. and he spoke
with a Northumberland burr. A sup
porter of Lord Beaconsfeld in his
widest schemes for imperial expan-
sion, yet Mr.. Cowen was the friend of
every conspirator from Moscow to
Madrid, and financed revolutions from
his own pocket as readily as other
millionaires buy steam yachts. At the
risk of his life and through battalions
of spies he carried secret instructions
to agents in Italy from that arch con-
spirator, Mazzini. 1t was at Mr.. Cow
ems house that Orsini. who threw a
bomb at the carriage of Napoleon III.
and was guilotined for so doing, spent
weeks prior to the preparation Of the
deed.
With such an intensely democratic
tendency, Mr.. Cowen was, naturally,
a home urler, yet none was more po-
tent or more often quoted in argu-
ments furnished in favor of the pres
ent war than the sentences penned by
Mr.. Cowen shortly before his death.
Many years ago he retired from ac-
tive politics, owing to his Independent
ideas, devoting his attention to his pa
per, the Newcastle Chronicle, which
welded almost as much political in
fiuence in the North Country as Mr..
Cowen did when men pointed to him
in the house of commons as the next
Liberal prime minister. He lived as
a recluse, yet directed his brickmak-
ing business until it has become one
of the most profitable in the country.
In Northumberland they say Mr.. Cow
en- had gypsy blood and they thus &C
count for all that was erratic in his
career.

After the handicap the distribution
of prizes for the tournament just
closed took place followed by a smok-
er which was immensely enjoyed by
I'll, and which was presided over by
Joe O'Brien.
Many members contributed to the
pleasure of the evening with recita-
tons, stories and songs. A feature
which caused much merriment was an
ode delivered by A. Hoffman, on the
All Star team.
The club trophy and first prize was
won by the Ramblers, while the sec
ond prize, after roll off with the All
Stars, with whom they were tied, was
won by the Columbus. The High
team average prize was won by the
All Stars with an average of SIS.
A new tournament has been organ
lied and promises to be the most sue
cessful yet conducted at the club. The
alleys have been put in number one
condition, as we'll as new balls and
pins procured. The league will be
conducted on the handicap system,
which has heretofore proven so sue
cessful. The schedule for this week
follows: Monday, Ramblers VS.. Boer;
Tuesday, Alphas VS.. Fort Henry;

The week just passed was one of
much pleasure to the members of the
Carroll Club Bowling League On
Thursday evening a large number of
the members gathered in the bowling
alleys to witness the handicap and at
tend the smoker given to them by the
club management. The handicap was
very close and interesting throughout
and was in doubt until the last ball
had been bowled. By the exceedingly
fine finish of Gaus. of the C. H. S. he
and Carenbauer won out by six pins
for their team. The finish with the
handicap follows.

of any aspiration for the presidency
and says he is willing-like Bar
kis. In a statement to the New York
World he says:
Il realize that the time has arrived
when I must definitely define my posi-
ton. When I arrived in this country
last September, I said then that moth
ing would induce me to be a candidate
for the presidency. Since then, how
ever, I have had the leisure and in
%clination to study the matter and
have reached a different conclusion
inasmuch al 20 many assurances have
come to me from my countrymen that
I would be acceptable as a candidate
for this great Office. II the Ameri-
cans want me for this high office, I
shall be only too willing to serve them.
1t is the highest honor-given gift of
this nation. What citizen would refuse
it? Since studying this question I
am convinced that the Office of presi-
dent is not such a very difficult one to
fill, his duties Deing mainly to execute
the laws of congress. Should I be
chosen for this exalted position, I
would execute the laws of congress as
faithfully as I have already executed

ing to cure the defect in the act passed
in 1885, creating the state of Stark"
which bill was afterwards declared I'M
constitutional by the supreme court.
The last legislature passed an act de-
claring that all territory under the jur-
isdiction of and treated as part of any
county for the preceding two years
should be declared a part of that
county. Now an action has been
brought to set aside taxes assessed un-
der the county boundary laws and the
Pioneer says:
The value of the 1890 law will be
tested shortly. The county of Mer-
Ger has seized some horses belonging
to H. B. Schaffner, for taxes, and was
about to sell them a few days ago. Mr..
Schaffner has secured an injunction
against the sale, and contends that the
county and school taxes that are
charged against these horses are in
valid-that he is only subject to state
taxes. The matter will be argued be-
fore Judge Winchester, and it is prob
able that whichever wins, the case
will go to the supreme court for final
settlement. The taxpayers in the other
counties affected by the 1898 and 1899
laws will watch the litigation with in

stock in some kind of interstate tenn
perance association, whose headquar-
tiers he claims is in Iowa. The stock
cost $40 a share and is alleged to be for
the purpose of circulating literature

along. Temperance workers in the
state who object to having their pre-
negatives infringed upon have been
looking up the great interstate associa-
ton and can find no record of such an
organization in Iowa or elsewhere. He
