THE MAN WHO NEVER LOST.

"The man who never knew defeat!
How proudly does he stride!
How bindly thoughtless people, too,
Go focking to his side!
THE man who never knew defeat"
May set a nation free
He may be great, but there is one
More great by far than he
''The man who never knew defeat
Has never passed the test
That lies behind the truly great
And proves them first and best!
''The man who never knew defeat
Is pitiful and small
Beside the one who loses and
Can triumph after all.
"The man who never knew defeat"
May be the one to choose
AS leader in the battle-but
What II he CHANGED to lose?
Above the man who never lost
The one to trust is he
That bravely rises from defeat
And goes to victory!

PORTO RICO BILL PASSES.
Contdnued from First Poge.

Then there is a Legislature Of which
the more numerous branch is entirely
elected by the qualified voters from
among the citizens of Porto Rico.
The other branch is appointive, being
modelled after the plan of government
adopted under Jefferson for Louisiana
and under Monroe for Florida. The
civil government is vastly better and
affords much greater measure of
self government than Alaska has ever
had or than it will have under the
new bill now struggling its way
through Congress, and nobody thinks
Alaska should have more self govern
ment than that bill provides. If there
was any political capital to be made
by raising row about it the Demo
Gratis would be counted ON to do it
just as they have done about the Porto
Rico bill. This latter measure lays
customs duties of fifteen per cent. of
the rates of the Dingley tariff law

United States from Porto Rico and
upon all articles taken into Porto Ri
co from the United States, except in
the latter case upon those articles that
are on the free list in the Dingley
law and those which have been placed
on the free list by executive order
since the island has come into the
possession of the United States.
This will admit into Porto Rico
from the United States free of duty
foodstuffs and other necessities of
life. Of course when articles are
imported into Porto Rico from coun-
tries other than the United States they
pay the full Dingley rates. Porto
Rico ought to prosper as it never has
heretofore under this law.

DIED AS A PAUPER.
Duluth Man, However, Was Worth
Thousanda.

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb 25.-Johann
Mueller, who died a supposed pauper, left
property which has risen in value to sew
eral hundred thousand dollars. Mueller
was a homesteader who took up govern
ment pine land few miles north Of this
city some years ago. He became SO iii
volved in financial troubles that many
trifiing judgments were taken against his
land, on which he had also given two
small mortgages. aggregating about $500
Finally, fourteen months ago, he died in
the poorhouse. He had no relatives in
America and his body was buried by the
county.
About the time of his death it was
found that valuable deposits of iron ore
existed in the neighborhood of his home
stead, and search was begun for Mueller
Detectives were sent all over the United
States to find him, and while they were
following elusive clues from Arizona to
Cuba and from Maine to Washington, the
poor man breathed his last in the Douglas
county almshouse not three miles from
the offices of the men who were so anx-
ioue to find him.
One of the two mortgages held against
him was by Catholic priest of this city,
who foreclosed it, and then bought an as
signment of the -sheriffs certificates on
the first mortgage, thereby shutting out
the claimants who had sued for title.
In the meantime the discoveries of ore
crept closer and closer. to Muellers land,
and finally the priest was able to nego-
tiate an option on half of it to the Car
negie steel interests for 100000 cash, or
an annual income of s25, GOO or more the
exact amount of this income being deter
mined by the quantity Of ore mined year
ly. The other half he held for 500, 000
Then ore was found by the Carnegie COM
pany, and within the last few days the
option has sheen closed, and the remain
ing half has been absolutely withdrawn
from the market as worth far more than
$190 600.
Now action has been brought by still
other claimants, who found Mueller's
heirs living penniless In some obscure
German village, and there will be a hear
ing before the probate court this week to
determine why they shall not be declared
administrators Of the estate, and the pro-
ceedings quashed that gave title to the
priest.
If the foreclosure of Mueller's second
mortgage, which was by advertisement,
is valid, title rests with the priest and
he has a fortune of perhaps 100000; if
not, the heirs and the opposing claim
ants will reap still greater reward.

HAYEs-cALDWELL TRAGEDY.
No New Light Thrown Upon the
Double Tragedy.

Double Tragedy.
NEW YORK, Feb 25.-Nothing new has
developed In the shooting of Mrs. Maud
Hayes by the dentist, Dr. CALDWELL, and
the suicide Of the latter last night at the
Hotel Endicott. An autopsy was made
by Coroner's Physician Hanton today. 1t
is the opinion that Mrs Hayes was killed
by Caldwell, who then killed himself.
The bullet which killed Mrs. Hayes en-
tered at the right temple, passed through
the brain, and lodged on the left side of
the skull, between the ear and the top
of the head. In Caldwell there were two
bullets The first did not kill him.. 1t
entered through the frontal bone, just
above the eye, and lodged against the
skull The second bullet entered the tenn
pie about one inch from the first, and
passed through the brain and back of the
skull, where 1t was found. This bullet
caused death.
DIR. Hayes at first refused to discuss the
case with any one, but when he felt his
silence might be taken as reflection
upon his wife's memory, he made the fol-
lowing statement:
IT never had the least suspicion that
anything was wrong between my wife and
DR.. Caldwell, and I still believe the only
thing wrong was his insane infatuatson
for her. I have learned, however, that
he persuaded her to take drugs that had
undermined her mental and physical
strength decided that something had
to be done, and knew that affairs had
reached a climax when the bottle of NOR
phine wa sdelivered last night. am sure
