A BROTHER OF JUDGE WILSON
The Strange stoFy of n Kansas City
RScIus<.


RScIus<.
story comes FRI I'm Ksnsas City which,
by reason of its dpunection with one of
Washington's most eminent lawyers, the
late Judge Jere VIII bon, and IN account of
! ducing for the benefit of the Washington
reading public
The story has it, that,a brother of the
late Judge Wilson lives in Kansas City.
The article continGes:4a
Old Mao Wilson heyis called by those
who see MIN in public places. A recluse
he is. Not that he shuns the society of
men, but in avoiding them when they are
near him and refusing to have word to
say even to those who have known him
longest. This man has lived in Kansas
City for more than twenty years, yet
those who see him every day do not know
his first name.
There is a romance hidden in his life,
but Wilson probably never will reveal It.
He once had riches and a beautiful home.
He has great learning. He is seventy
years old, has no ambition, wants neither
friend nor sympathy.
''On the day the daily newspapers an
nounced the death of the Washington
lawyer the Kansas brother went into
restaurant. For several weeks he has
MONDAY rush. receiving a lunch in pay
ment for his work. on that day the old
man carried a newspaper containing his
brothers picture, and an announcement
of his death.
Tears tricllled down his cheeks He
said not a word, but holding the paper to-
ward one of the walters, pointed &c the
likeness of the jurist and placed his in
deX finger upon the large type which
said he was dead. Not a word did he
utter. No word was spoken to him. for
the restaurant men knew that he sought
no kind expressions.
Years ago, ii is said, Wilson had
comfortable home and family in
thriving Michigan town How the home
and family were given up or why is not
known About five years ago one OF Will
son daughters came to Kansas CITY.
she met her father In the street and beg
ged him to return home with her. He re
fused. She appealed to the police. and
by this means Wilson was persuaded to
accompany his daughter to Michigan. He
remained short time, however, return
ing to Kansas City.
1T is said that Wilson heard from his
Washington brother regularly, and that
check came In each letter. With this
money he was able TO pay his expenses.
Government pension also comes period
ically. For many years Wilson has been
familiar figure in most of the bucket
shops, but he rarely trades and never has
word for the men he finds in these
places. They treat him kindly, for 1t is
the general belief that a great sadness
hangs over the life of this man who In
a great city chooses to be a veritable her
nit"

Mount Pleasant Citizens VIII Urge
Traction Extension.

The Mount Pleasant Citizens Associa-
| ton will take prompt action to secure the
! extension of the Metropolitan Railroad
! Company's Connecticut Avenue line to
Sixteenth and Park Streets northwest.
! Such an extension was ordered by Con-
/ gress at the :ast session, and the railroad
company is technically allowed year
/ from the date of the widening of Column
bia Road and Sixteenth Street in which
to construct the line. Citizens of that
section of the city are quite anxious that
the line be completed and put in operation
this fall.
1t was for the purpose of discussing this
topic that a meeting of the association
was held last night. a committee of five.
consisting of T. a. Harding, ]. L. At
kins j. A Watson, W. H. Saunders and
W II. II. Warman was appointed to urge
the management of the railroad company
to promptly construct the line. The route
taken by the extension will be a continue
tion of the Connecticut Avenue line, from
Eighteenth Street and Columbia Road, to
SIAuetntn Street and Columbia Road, and
thence north on Sixteenth Street to Park
Street, where ii will terminate.
Major B. p. Mimack, who represents
large property interests in Mount Pleas
ant, was present at the meeting last
night. He said that he had visited both
Lansing II. Beach, Engineer Commission
er, and General Harries, of the Metropol1-
tan Railroad Company, i'll respect to the
matter. According to his statement, Cen
eral Harries assured him that construc-
tion would begin as soon as the claims
OF persons whose property had been
used in widening the street, had been
paid and the permit could be secured.
Major M;mack said that Commissioner
Beach had told him that the company
could begin work al once, and that the
permit would be granted whenever re-
quested.
An effort viii be made to have the mat
ter settled before November l. at which
duty as Engineer Commissioner. This Is
done for the reason that Captain Beach's
successor would probably desire to collect
all facts bearing on the matter, and the
construction would be delayed until next
spring. Resolutions were prepared for the
guidance of the committee, which viii be
called together on Monday.
In addition to the street car extension
matter, the annual election Of officers of
the association took place last night.
Thomas E. Blagden was elected president,
to succeed Major II. II. Twombly, who
has served two terms. 3. W. Holman was
elected first vice president, and William
II. Saunders second vice president J. A.
Watson was once more chosen to the po-
Robert Young will act as recording sec
retary for the ensuing year. A. B. Chat
field was reelected treasurer.
Upon motion of A b. Chatfield T. A.
Harding was appointed a committee OF
one to urge upon the Commissioners the
Howard Avenue between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth Streets.
Major b. p. Mimack was elected to
membership in the association.

Beef And Cabbage

1t having been Published that Mr..
j. PierpoDt Morgan is very fond of a
dish of corned beef aud cabbage,
that food item is now appearing upon
the bills of far of many of the apers
of aristorcacy. or, of rich men, rather.
The dish which had therefore, been
regarded by many as piebian is now
looked upon as "the thing"
For our part wa are disposed to ap
prove beef and cabbage, especially
when tender and well cooked; cooked
together, not in separate vessels, as
is often done in large establishments,
But there is another dish we like
even better and that is bacon and
green's; fine Virginia bacon and
young tender cabbage leaves. 1t is a
spring dish and old fashioned folks
begin to long for it as SOL as winter
has departed aud cabbage plant {
have had time to be set out and
grow little. -.
Baef and cabbage may be alright,
ode gustibus non est disputandum
but if Mr.. Morgan and the Dispatch
want something really good try ole
Virginia bacon and cabbage. Bee
may be all right, but bacon aud cab
bage is the only real orthodox dish.

Division of the School Funds.

One of the important questions
which will come before the Consti
tutional Convention for consideration
will be the separation Of the School
Fund on racial lines. There has
been but little discussion of the ques-
ton, possibly for political reasons.
The Richmond Dispatch is opposed
to the division, we believe, as are
several other leading papers of the
State These papers may be right
in thinking that a majority of the
State are unwilling to disturb the
present public school law. but if they
will canvass this question on some
court day they will be surprised
probably, to find how many voters
there are who favor the division. IL
the question were submitted to q
candid, impartial vote of the people
it would not lack many votes of a
majority.

Mr.. A. p. GHiesoie.

AS will be seen in another column
of this issue, Mr.. A. p. Gillespie has
been formally requested by the Dem.
ocratic county Committee, as he has
been by the Republican county com
mittee, to announce himself candi
date for the constitutional convention
from this county, and he has con-
sented to become candidate. and
will, of course, be elected.
Mr.. Gillespie is Republican. aud
will be one of small number of that
party in the convention. He has not,
so far as we have heard, expressed
himself on a single issue to come be-
fore that body. What his views are
on the suffrage question. the school
question, or any of the great questions
we presume is entirely unknown,
certainly to the rank and file, of both
parties. His hearty endorsation by
the Democrats, under the circum-
stances, is . compliment, as high as
could be paid any candidate. That
MIR. Gillespie will not go to Richmond
as an obstructionist, and opponent
of the wishes of the majority of his
constituents, goes without saying
although the party to which he
belongs declared against constitu
tional convention in the beginning
