To show the danger and bitterness
OF the great Benton and anti-Renton
contest, the following is pertinent:
When Benton was Il lad attending
chapel Hill University in North Caro-
INA Il story was started to the effect
that he stole some money and hid it in
his cravat. Notwithstanding his long
and conspicuous career on the national
stage, nothing could kill that story.
He and his friends always denied
the truth of the tale. and the perfect
rectltude of his long life in both public
and private affairs is proof positive
that they were right. If he had been
dishonest or corrupt, his opportunities
for amassnG a fortune by prostituting
his high Office to base purposes would
have made him rich beyond the
dreams of avarlcc; but he died poor
which is the best evidence of his hon
esty. Nevertheless, the legend of his
alleged indi>cre:ion logged his steps
always.
When Benton made his appeal to
the people, the "antis" carried around
as an electioneering document a fine
lifesize portrait of the great senator
with the end Of a $40 bill protruding
from the corner of his old-fashioned
stock. That was in the good old times
l, ITnSs Il
cruel or vicious been done in these de-
generate days?
Benton utterly despised his oppo-
nents and persccutors-and they were
legion. Among them was one of great
cr intellectual force than Benton him
self, james Stephen Green, subse-
quently a senator of the United States
He is the man who effectually an
swered Stephen A. Douglas on the
.Lecompton constitution question.
Benton haughtily refused to hold de-
bate with Green or any of the rest of
them. He would make his appoint
ment, deliver his speech full of gall
and wormwood, aquafortis and Greek
fire, then, gathering up his papers, he
would hasten from the room. But al
ways some one of his opponents was
present to take advantage Of the crowd
which he had gathered and to ad.
dress it.
On one occasion Green opened upon
him so ferociously and so suddenly
that Benton stopped in the doorway
shook his clenched fist at Green and
roared: "It is written, Thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy
ncighbor!
/ Quick asa fash and in reference tt
the Chapel IIill money story, Greer
replied, 'sIt's also written, Thou shall
! not steal!" doubt if the annals Of
American stump oratory furnish par
allel to that passage at arms.
Even persons in the audience would
jaw back at ''the Great Missourian,
as Benton was universally called
Once he was speaking, on Il lovely da.

THE rERRoRs OF WASH DAY.

Is il the coming of wash day, as 1t
Is known in domestic parlanee. or is it
the reaction from the Sunday holiday
which causes the phenomenon observed
in many households as Monday cross

The laundry work enlisrs the atten-
ton of the entire domestic force in
many homes and consequently there is
more or less additional duty imposing
uron the mistress of a small establish
rent before she can get her house set

return unwillingly to the confinement
of school, perhaps add to her pertur-
baton by losing their school books and

There is a Philadelphia barber who
always has on a new pair of shoes.
His footwear is invariably superior to
that worn by most of the men he
shaves In fact, every few days he

This has given rise to- considerable
comment. You must have relative

patrons recently. mo, it isn't that,
said the barber. "Pll let you into a
secret You know that a great many
men hate to break in a new pair oil
Shoes Some say that the first few
days are positive torture, especially II
they do much walking around. Now
if do say it myself, have very small

THE CROWD
LAST NIGHT
Christmas Shoppers on
The Streets.
MUCH M|RTH AND MUSIC
Serenaders Played and Sang Homo.
lulu Asleep and Awake
Until Dawn,

In spite of mud puddles and showers
the merry round of Christmas shop
ping went on last night until lale
hour. The sidewalks were crowded,
and when they were thronGed to the
running-over point, people walked III
the streets.
The stores and shops did a lively
trade. those who had left the task
until the last moment, hurryipg to and
fro with big bundles, little bundles,
bundles from which protruded the feet
and noses of toy animals, mysterious
bundles that failed to give a single
sign of the contents, and. sharp cor
nered bundles that jabbed good natur-
ed passers by in the ribs without
word of protest
Everyone was possessed of the holi-
day spirit. <.
The small boy was much in evidence
with his discord and horn, and every
body was abroad from smiling grand
mothers leaning upon some strong
Young arm, to growing babes, carried
upon the obi of chattering, black-eyea
Japanese mothers.
All along Fort street, and up Hote
and King streets, the merry crowt
thronged, passing the nimble penn,
and carrying away last ADDITION u
the Christmas stocking.
Not until towards midnight wer
the shoppers supplied and the shol
doors closed When the streets ha
cleared; when stockings had bee
hung and families had gone to rest 4
their homes, the Christmas quartet;
F, quintets and sextets, who sing an
play for ready cash, began to assel
themselves, and snatches of serenade

PAUL BETZlER SUICIDES.
With a Party Visits ThOs. PheIan''
Ranch and There Suicides.
BODY FOUND THIS AFTERNOON.

Last Saturday night Paul Bctzler, of
the firm Of Heisch & Betzler, with a
party Of friends, left the city to spend
A few hours. with Thos. w. Phelan on
the lattcr's ranch a few miles south Of
town.
About midnight Paul left the house.
leaving his coat and vest on the bed
and his companions thought he would
soon return. They became alarmed
when he did not return in an hour, n
commenced searching the premises,
fearing that he had committed self-des-
truction. or. In his condition. had van
dered OFT and got lost.
Yesterday. the news of his disappear
ance reached the city. and to-day Mr..
Heisch, fearing the worst n recall
ing to mind the fact that Paul had on
several previous occasions threatened
suicide. organized two searching par
ties. who visited the Phelan ranch.
This afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. Ed.
Steiner came charging into the city
with his horse running at high speed,
and reported to city Marshal McMillin
| that Captain Borchert. Of the search
Ing party. had found the remains OF
Betzler.
The suicide, on leaving the Phelan
house, walked about 800 feet from the
place, and, with a cigar In his left hand,
laid down under a small tree. In his
right hand was titly clutched a re-
volver, and with this deadly instru-
ment he fired a bullet through his head.
The suicide was committed in the Ba-
relas precinct, and the Justice 80 the
peace of that precinct will undoubtedly
hold an inquest on the remains before
the body Is brought to the city.
Betzler was n well-known young man
Of this city, and had been a partner OF
Charles Helsch for the past few years.
Last Saturday he secured $40 from the
firm. telling Mr.. Helsch to charge II to
him, and at the same time made a
requlsltlon on the stock for half a dog
on or more bottles Of beer. lie told Mr..
Heisch that he was going OF on a jaunt
20 have a good time, and during his
absence from his place OF business told
a particular friend OF his to stand his
watch. Mr.. Heisch suggested that as
he would be back on Sunday he could
do the extra work himself. out Paul in
sisted on having a substitute, and then
with his party left for the Phelan ranch
where a few hours later he ended his
life with a bullet.
Intimate friends say that Betzler's
~infatuation for a certain woman. and
the fact that he had been drinking
quite heavily OF late. caused temper
airy insanity, and In hat condition OF
mind he committed the rash deed.

bottles OF whisky. The morning drive
proved quite a chilly one. and Mr..
Perea, indulging In the %liqours. became
quite drunk. when he reached the
house OF a friend about midway OF his
journey, he drank several cups OF cof-
fee. and ~pensuasions were used In the
hope OF getting him to stay at the
house OF his friend until he sobered up,
but he continued his journey. A short
time afterward smoke was seen on the
road, and an investigation revealed the
fact h a Perea and the buggy had been
almost entirely consumed by fire. The
horses. hitched to the buggy and stand
ing perfectly still, strange to relate.
were not in the least Injured. IL IL
thought that Mr.. Perea. In attempting
to light his pipe or cigarette. caught
fire and In his condition was unable to

good start.
