TEDDY'S FOOT
Still Further In His Mouth Since lie
Tried to Explain That Speech.
Baltimore Sun.

'sTeddy's'' explanation of his st,
Paul speech in which he accused
Democrats of standing for 'lawless-
ness and disorder, for dishonesty
and dishonor, for license and dis
aster at home and cowardly shrink
ing from duty abroad lin brief,
for q policy of infamv' quite
as bad as his original otfense. When
Teddy first opened his mouth on
this subject he put his foot in it
with his accustomed blunderlng
strenuousness." Now that he has
opened his mouth the second time,
in apology, he has put both feet in
it. Teddy says that he did not
mean his insulting characterization
to apply to all Democrats, but sim
ply to those Who framed the Kansas
City platform. The delegates to
that convention he explicitly de-
nounces as towards as 'sdishon-
est and dishonorable" and as advo-
Gates Of the ''policy of infamy." OF
course, the reflection applies, equally
to the move than 100000 of Demo
cratic voters who stand by the dec
larations OF their party at Kansas
City, as well as to hundreds of thou
sands of independent voters who
are opposed to the Republican pol
icy of Imperialism. As a matter oil
tact, the Democrats who support the
Kansas City platform are as guilty,
according to "Teddy's' logic, of dis
honesty and cowardice as the repre-.
sentatives of their party who framed
the platform. So, wriggle and squirm
and eyade as he may, Teddy has
deliberately insulted more than half
of the white voters in the United
States and has attempted to place
a stigma upon every man who does
not think as he does.

INHERITs A FORTUNE;
Downey. Who was Shot, about to Be.
come Wealthy.
Warrington Enterprise

An interesting story in connection
with Henry Downey, one of the I'M
fortunate victims of the Fairmont
shooting affair, it is that he is about
to inherit fortune. For years he
cared for his widowed mother, who
was poor. She always expected to re-
ceive fortune, which was coming to
her, but up to her death it was not
materialized.
Not long ago Morgantown woman,
who lives at the home of Prof Hite
and r.. L. Morris, Front street, was
having her baggage checked in Wash
ington, d. G. The B. s.. @. baggage
master saw that she was coming TO
Morgantown, and asked il she knew
Henry Downey. That he had some
valuable papers for him, relating to a
fortune. and could not learn where he
was. They had worked together at
Mt. Lake Park, but had lost track of
each other. This lady took his adj
dress and when she came came to
West Virginia, inquired about
Downey.
By some chance be heard Of the lady
and called upon her. In this way he
received a clue to his friend and the
fortune. When he received the pa
pers, the details of the long looked
for fortune were soon arranged. He
will receive 50 per cent of $S4, 000

JUDGE HINDMAS DEAD.
4 Man Who Made Name FOR Himself
Passes away In an Asylum.

Ex.Judge w. L. Hindman, rs,
who has been patient in the Spen-
Ger asylum for the insane is dead,
He was resident of Charleston,
where his widow and several children
reside. His remains wern inferred
in the asylum cemetery.
Judge Hindman was, in his way,
quite prominent ia West Virginia
years ago. He made name as well
as fame for himself while judge Of
the old Ninth circuit, just after the
conflict between the States had end
ed, by deciding that an unrecon-
structed Confederate colonel could
practice his profession, that of u
lawyer, without first having to take
an ironclad oath prepared for all
who had separated themselves from
the union, before they would be
recognized as practicing attorneys.
If they subscribed to the oath, all
right, they would be allowed TO prac-
tice. This act warmed certain
class of people against Hindman,
and he had to resign, after which he
taught school and practiced his pro-
fession in Kanawha and adjoining
counties. He was man who had
little to say; he was an upright man,
and endeavored to be honorable at
all times and in all places. About
15 years ago he broke in health, and
| became almost recluse. His mind
finally broke down, and to cure him
he was taken to the asylum for treat
ment.

Colonizing Blacks.

A circnmstantial story, quite we'll
authenticated, has reached Washing
ton that the Republican managers
are colonizing negroes by the thous-
and in West Virginia from Virginia
and Pennsylvania. 1t is said that
Senator Elkins has represented to Mr..
Hanna that the party this year will
be at least 5000 votes short in West
Virginia of the poll of 1896, due in
the main to the return Of about that
number of Democrats to their old all
legiance. As Mr.. Mckinley carried
the State four years ago by only about
II, 4S7, it is evident that, if Senator
Elkins, figures are even approximate
ly correct, quite 5000 new negro Vot-
ers will be necessary to save the Re-
publican electoral ticket OF course,
Senator Elkins' personal interests are
more in jeopardy by the changed pol
itical conditions in West Virginia
than are those of the National ticket,
and it is possible for the Democrats
to lose the electoral and State tickets
by several thousand and still save the
LeS icidudiC, WulSil 10 W CiCcU a soCbd-
tor. 1t is presumed, therefore, that
a distribution of the new voters will
be made with the especial view of
strengthening the Republican legisla-
tive tickets. The negroes are being
brought into the state ostensibly for
the purpose of working in various new
coal mines and other enterprises re-
Gently inaugurated. The Democrats
claim that the imported blacks will
not have been in the state long
enough to vote in November, but
there is little doubt that by some
means they will get their ballots colln-
ted if they are permitted to go to the
polls. The question is fraught with
grave dangers for both parties, and may
lead to serious trouble in West Vir-
ginia before election day.

dorse the check, something he had
not noticed before. He was told the
check was good but he would have
to get an endorsement. He wrote u

could find Hinkle and telling the

came into town and asked to see the

TOLD ABOUT MR.. HUNTINGTON.
Had Many Enemies but Was alwaYs a
Fighter.

Mr.. Huntington was a man with
many enemies. He was always a
fighter, says the New York Sun. or
great physical strength, be WASH t
willing to admit that there was any
body who could whip him. He often
used TO boast Of his prowess even as
schoolboy. He carried his love OF
battle into his business. Many years
ago. before the civil war, be brought
a newspaper in San Francisco so that
he could have fight on his hands.
It was an Abolition paper. Three
men had been killed while running
1t. Mr.. Huntington found an Irish
man who wanted to tackle the job of
editor, and he bought the paper, in
stalled the Irishman as editor, and let
everybody know that Coils Z. Hunt
ington was behind him. Nobody kill
ed the editor, and nobody tried to.
He lost $50, 900 in the venture. and
then decided that he would quit He
was a great Abolitionist himself. He
was friend of the Negro and OF the
Chfnaman.
JAY GOULD LET HIM ALONE.
He enjoyed the distinction of being
the only opponent whom Mr., Gouldde-
eided not to meddle with, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger. Years ago, when the
Central Pacific and the Union Pacific
were in fierce rivalry and Mr.. Gould
had very nearly succeeded In having
adverse legislation TO the Central Pa
cific passed. Mr.. Huntington grasped
his gripsack, and, saying to his friends
in the Office. II know a thing or two
about Washington, went to the cap
ital, and Railroad Auditor French's
official head soon fell Mr.. Gould
was defeated.
HE WAS FRUGAL.
''Mr. Huntington was man of fru-
gal habits, /" said one of his old friends
in Wall street yesterday to a CORES
pendent Of. the Philadelphia Ledger.
lie was close, but not pennrious.
His family had everything they want
ed: but on himself, exclusive of paint
ings, OF which he was an enthusiastic
collector, | suppose he spent not more
than $4,000 or 81, 1000 year. He ate
and drank simply because a simple
diet was good for him, and it was one
of the secrets Of the strength which
enabled him to do such hard work.
BISCUITS WON HIM.
In 1914 he married Elizabeth Stod-
dard, the daughter Of a Connecticut
farmer, whom he had known in his
boyhood, says the New York Herald,
and who is said to have captured his
love by her skill in cooking biscuits.

For long time after his New York
mansion was completed the million
aire declined to move into It from
superstition that death would follow,
says the New York World. 1t took
all his wife's persuasion to get him to
occupy it at all, and it was known
that the house was for sale at one
time.

1t is said that the B. 81 O. Company
will in the near future call their pas

for this is that since the automatic
couplers have been introduced all the
brakemen have to do is to look out for
their lamps and keep an eye on the
comfort of the passengers. Besides
this they have little else to do, except
ing being polite and answering the
