BOTTOMS LAST YEAR.
THE Way He Spent 1t Preparing For
His Death.

The Way He Spent 1t Preparing For
His Death.
"Billy Bolton, the Lansingburg brew
er, was very rich man and one with q
host Of friends" said an up state man
to the New York Sun. Ills brewery
in Lansingburg was profitable con-
Germ, and he practically owned about
all the saloons in that town.
Zone day after a consultation his ply.
sicians told him that he had Bright's
disease and that he surely would not
live more than year. Billy took their
word for it and made up his mind to
make the fur fly while life was left.
He had never travelled much, and so he
decided to go around the world.
HE took with him a congenial friend
and plenty of money, and away they
went. They left trail of fire and ash
es through all the capitals Of Europe
and the queer and strange places of
Asia and Africa. After nine months
they came back, and Bolton brought
with him the most marvellous collection
of souvenirs and presents that any
man not professional collector ever
brought into this country. The duties
amounted to $4,000.
arrived in Lansingburg, Billy hired
the town hall, sent his packing boxes
filled with these oriental and European
treasures up to the hall and had them
all taken out and put on exhibition as
though for church fair. Upon each
article he marked the name of some
friend whom he wished to remember
with gift. There were hundreds in
this category, but Billy had presents
for them all.
ION the day appointed for the pres
entation he invited his army of friends
to the town hall. To each he turned
over the present selected for him, ant
amid the cheers of his grateful and adj
miring fellow townsmen the hall was
stripped Of its beautiful things.
when the last present had beer
placed in the hands Of it's recipient
Billy went back to his home and la
down to die. Within the year his ply
sicians' prophecy came true, and the
town gave him the finest funeral thai
any man ever had"

HELP LITTLE WHIRLWlND,
st. Louis Woman Proposes to Form
Society for Purpose.

st. Louis Woman Proposes to Form
Society for Purpose.
Finding that the St. Louis Humane
society's charter would prevent it
from taking up the movement for the
pardon of Little Whirlwind, the young
Indian who is in the Deer Lodge pen
itentiary, Mrs. Mauriel Fernham of
that city proposes to organize a tenn
porary society for the purpose. She
has been assured of the aid of the in
dividual members of the humane So
ciety.
II am determined to get a petition
circulated here in some way" said
she to the Post-Dispatch. II know OF
others who will help me, and think
we can effect an organization for this
purpose even If it does not last after
the petition has been sent to Cover
nor Toole of Montana.
81 hadn't thought about the humane
society's charter. but l am told that
if the petition is once started it's
members will do all they can to get
signers.
Il have thought of asking some
church society interested in missions
to begin the work, but maybe it would
be best to for society for this par.
ticular purpose and have the petit.
ton drawn up right away. We don't
want to delay while in New York
and Philadelphia the friends of Lit
tie Whirlwind are working.
Still. am not particular how the
petition is started. All l want is to
see it started right away"

"Guess I wouldn't have much trou-

WHAT THEY MEAN.

Gradually an understanding of the
recent supreme court decisions is per-
colating through the skulls of the Mil
lions of people of this country, who
are not ordinarily given to analyzing
the subtleties of legal opinions.
The first decision is that Porto Ri
co after the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Spain, ceased to be a
foreign country and became a domes-
tic territory of the United States
so much a part of it that the consti-
tuition became operative in it to the
extent that the executive department
of the government had no constitute
onal power to exercise any taxing
power therein; to levy any duties up
on imports from the island into the
United States or from the United
States into Porto Rico pending the
action of congress in taking and OK
ercising control over the island.
In the second decision it is he'd
that congress had full power to legis-
late for a territory Of the United
States irrespective Of any constitu-
tional limitations except those which
regard the fundamental rights of per-
son and property; that the constitu.
tional provision that imposts must
be uniform throughout the United
States related only to states Of the
Union and not to territorial possess
ions of the United States; that in
such territories congress had full
control and could impose what tar
ifs or taxes it deemed best for the
welfare of the people, prescribe the
form of government and the condi-
lions and qualifications Of citizenship,
and exercise in general the attributes
of sovereignty, subject only to those
constitutional provisions relating to
fundamental rights which are appli-
cable at all times and to all persons
under the jurisdiction of the govern
ment.
These two decisions, in brief, mean
this: That before Montana became a
state and while it was yet territory,
congress had full power to levy i'm
port duties upon all goods coming in
to Montana from Minnesota or any
other of the states of the union, and
to levy export duties on all goods
shipped from Montana. Accordingly
congress has now such power with
reference to New Mexico. Arizona and
Alaska as we'll as Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
It is held that the constitution ex-
tends of it's own force to newly ac-
quired territory, but that as soon as
congress steps in the constitution
must get out-that congress is great
err than the constitution.

 MT Shepard started for CaldwelPs, Lake George, on the $ p. m. train last night, leaving this statement for the reporters:
 'As I have this afternoon decided to be out of town for two or three days but intimated this morning to the gen. tlemen of the press that I might say something tomorrow. feel bound to explain to them my delay and to add that I shall have nothing to say until the democratic nominations are deter mined tonight, except only this, which I trust, would be understood without my saying it: Any nomination ac- cepted by me will be accepted with an absolute and unqualified freedom from obligations, express or implied, di- rect or indirect, except those obliga- tions of which I shall. as nominee of the democratic party, publicly advise the people of Greater New York be- fore they shall vote for or against me.
 What have been in the past, what have been my opinions on public mat ters or my ideals of public life and the manner in which I have expressed them. all this is before the public and has been before those who have consid- cred my nomination. If be nomin- ated or elected, my acceptance of the nomination or of the office will be up on my assumption that no part of my public record has been overlooked Mir Shepard passed the night at the Hotel Ten Eyck.

 John B. Parsons. one of Mir Shep-
 ards law partners, said yesterday that he did not think it was suitable for him to express an opinion about the candidates for mayor or about the sit uation so far as ils personal bearing was concerned He added that Ais wish from the beginning had been that MT Low should be the anti-Tammany candidate
 "It would be inconsistent with my past and present position and profes- sions," he said, eff did not earnestly hope that 1fr Low and the movement for which his name conspicuously stands should succeed. I am commit ted to do all that can to bring about that result"

TAMMANY's TICKET.
Edward NJ. Shepard Gets Endorsement
 for Mayor


 New York, Oct 4.-Previous to the meeting last night of the democratic convention the executive committee of Tammany Hall met and ratified the ac- ton of the city committee in selecting Edward NJ. Shepard. William J. Ladd, Jr, and Judge George Van Hoesen IS the party candidates for mayor, comp troller and president of the board of aldermen, respectively.
 The convention met last night in the Grand Central Palace with George B. Mcclellan as chairman.
 Richard Croker, who was delegate, was given an ovation.
 On taking the chair MT Mcclellan praised Mayor Van Wyck and attacked ''so-called reform"
 The convention placed upon record its abhorrence of the crime by which President Mckinley was killed.
 The committee on resolutions ra- ported through its chairman, John w. Keller. The platform among other things charges the republican party with indifference to the interests of the city by denying to it the right of self government; denounces "as a shame the pretense at reform which charac- terizes the combination made up of ra- publican partisans and so-called Dem ocrats," and congratulates the people upon the results achieved under the Democratic administration of city af- fairs.
 It claims the credit for inaugurating system of rapid transit.
 When Assistant District Attorney Littleton of Brooklyn placed the name of Edward M Shepard before the con- vention as candidate for mayor, cheers for Comptroller Coler came from the gallery and some of the delegates. The Brooklyn delegation was especially ve- hement for Color.
 William J. Ladd, IT. was then made nominee for comptroller and Judge Van Hoesen for president of the board of aldermen.

 New York, Oct 4.-Through several streets of the Tenderloin last night an angry crowd chased a murderouS ne- gro who has assaulted and almost killed another negro, who was taken to the New York hospital unconscious.
 The assault occurred in front of the Reform club at Fifth avenue and Twenty street and was wir- messed by Miss Lena Zeigler of No 39 West Twenty-sixth street. She says the negro. who gave his name in the West Thirtieth street police station, where he was subsequently, taken, as Henry Miller of No BIO West 146sh street, either had robbed or was trying to rob the other negro.
 Miller drew razor and after nearly cutting the scalp from the other, gouged out one of his eyes and slashed him cruelty in several vital spots. The strange man then started on the r1u up Fifth avenue, while Miller ran down the avenue with a shouting mob at his heels. He ran to and through Twentythird street to Madison ave nue. The mob meanwhile kept ll- l creasing. shouting, Head him offf' Catch himi'' The negro turned and | dA AOE HIS h1G lAAOuSA Square park.
 Hugh Smith of No 623 Second ave nuc was coming through the park. He attempted to stop Miller. when the ne- | gro drew his razor again and cut tue | little fingers of Smiths right and left | hands. The negro then turned again and dashed through Twenty-fourt h street past the Lyceum theater stage | entrance.
 At Lexington avenue and Twenty furth street Patrolman Boury, who was leading the crowd, caught the ne gro. The crowd. which had increased, was furious, and yelled: Lynch him!'' String him up!'' It was with diffi- culty that the police could get him to the West Thirieth street station.
 The victim was found unconscious at Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth | street. An ambulance happened to be at the West Thirtieth street station, 1 and he was put in that and taken to the New York hospital.

 Nashville, Tenn, Oct 4-The Rev Ira Estepp, who for fifteen years has been a minister in the Baptist church it Inez, Ky, has been expelled from the ministry of the church on the charge of violating the rules of the church on the question of baptism.

Then the church obtained change of venue and the case was transferred 10 Chapel, three miles north of Inez, where MT Estepp was found guilty of violating the laws of the church. His license was at once revoked.
 MT Estepp will appeal to the courts for redress.
