JUnH ANU JESSIE.

In his speech at Los Angeles Presi-
dent Mckinley made a graceful refer
enCe to Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont,
daughter of Senator Benton and widow
OF the Pathfinder. Mrs. Fremont re-
sides in that city, and the country, as
well as California, will join the Presi-
dent Gin reverent and affectionate re-
gard" for one of the grand old women
of her time. Sixty years have passed
since Mrs. Fremont became bride at
the age of 16. In her marriage a good
deal of national history was involved
1t was to prevent the match that SEN
ator Benton had Lieut.. Fremont sent
out to the wilderness to explore the
Des Moines. In that journey Fremont
caught the atmosphere of the far
West, across whose vast expanse he
was destined to lead five expeditions.
Benton made an explorer without un-
making a lover. John and Jessie
quickly found a way to become man
and wife, and it was his bride who en-
couraged him to undertake his first
expedition though it meant long
separation.
Fremont's role in national affairs
was a remarkable one. and Jessie was
ever his adviser. He pushed the ac-
QUESTION of California faster than the
government was willing to move, and
undoubtedly hastened it's action. His
canvass for the presidency as the first
Republican candidate was a sudden
and dramatic episode in politics. In
the civil war he was more than year
ahead of time in issuing an emancipa
tion proclamation. Perhaps he has
tened that event also. At least he set
people to thinking about it. If he were
living today he would be three years
younger than the Pope. 1t is to be
hoped that Mrs. Fremont will leave
her full memoirs as a legacy to the |
American people. and one reason why |
she should do it is that she writes ex-
ceptionally well. Such a work would |
fill an important place in the national !
annals,

HORSE INJURED
But Driver Escaped with Hurt, from Street
Car Accident.

Those who witnessed the accident in
front of Mr.. w. w. Mills residence on
Fifth street early Wednesday morn
ing are still wondering how a fatal
accident was averted. AS Quake"
Theis was driving up Fifth street, his
horse SHE'D at street car which was
coming on the down grade toward
Putnam street. The frightened AMI
NAL sprang across the track immedi~
ately in front of the rapidly approach
ing car. A frightful crash was the re-
suit, and those witnessing the accident
turned their faces away to avoid the
sight of a supposed horror.
Mr.. Theis was thrown from the bug
gy, alighting on his head between the
car and the buggy, and sustained pain
full bruises, but no injuries. The bug
gy was forced against a telegraph pole
the injured horse broke loose and ran
into the Mills yard. AS soon as posi-
BILE the suffering animal was taken to
the stables of DR.. Garrett. where 1t
was securely bound and it's wounds at
tended to. The left hip was horribly
lacerated. The skin and flesh about
foot square in area were laid open.
One large wound, nearly six inches in
depth was the most severe injury.
over so stitches were required to close
the cuts. The animal is valued at $3.50
but Ut, Garrett is hopeful of saving it.
No blame attaches to either the mo-
torman or Mr.. Thels. The animal be-
come unmanageable, sprang across the
track and the car could not be stop
ped until it had gone over a car length
even after the occurrence.

ON A HISTORIC SPOT
Two Coins Reminiscent Of Revolutionary
Times we're Unaarthed.

While WOrkmen were engaged in
making excavations for the lines Of
the Marietta Fuel and Gas Co. on the
West Side they unearthed two coins
which, on account OF their age and the
place whore they reposed for a cent
ury, are lare and valuable.
A trench was being dug across the
site of old Fort Harmar and in the
course of the work with pick and shoy.
el two discolored pieces of round met
al were thrown up. Upon examination
the inscription and denomination of
the two pieces of money were easily
deciphered. Both wer pennies. One
bore the impress of die representing
the head of King George; on the re-
verse side is the date 1890 in compar-
atively clear figures.
The other penny was issued by the
state OF Connecticut and was dated
1887.
Mr.. L. D. Cornelius, who is stopping
at the Wakefield. considered himself
extremely lucky to secure the pennies
at the rate of 81 each.

THE DREADED PEST
Is Showing Its Hateful Face in the Rural
Districts.

The smallpox situation is practically
unchanged. No new cases. with the
exception of those given in Wednes-
days issue of the Leader, have been
reported. Armed guards, two in the
day time and one at night, patrol the
square bounded by Sixth and Seventh
Charles and Hart streets. The
bread winners of the families within
the infected district are allowed to go
to their work upon one condition.
namely, chat they be examined by the
Health Officer, pronounced free from
all symptoms of the disease and be
furnished with certificate setting
forth these facts.
In the Carothers family the four
children are almost recovered from
the disease, while an uncle of the
children is now sloughing off the
scabs. The grandfather, who up till
Wednesday worked in the barns of the
Marietta Transfer Co., has been con-
fined to the residence of the family on
Hart street. He, of course, may have
communicated the disease to many
but the authorities are hops
ken out with the pimples, is GONZALES
ful that no such calamity will result
with the mans intercourse with 9TH
ers.
The small child at the Moore family
home has very pronounced case of
ken out with the pimples, is conveles-
cling as far as the Ill effects of the pox
is concerned. The husband is in the
first stages and has his experience all
before him.
Vigilance will not be relaxed. day
or night, and all children must keep.
Gordon which has been drawn is strict
enough TO enforce the Boards orders
and all lnfringemen,s will be pun
ished.
THE PEST IN BARLOW TOWNSHIP
From Barlow comes the unwelcome
news that there are six or eight cases
of smallpox in that vicinity. The
known patients are distributed so far
as is known at the homes of the fol-
lowing people: A boy at Joe Bar
nette's, patients at Marteni's and
George Males, all of which families
are colored.
The disease seems to be confined to
no locality or section. but is diffused
all over the county. The offices of the
doctors are thronged with candidates
for the surgeons knife and the virus
top. People are taking all necessary
precautions and it is well that they
are doing SO.
Jacob Wittlig was at Parkersburg
on a business errand Wednesday.
An amusing sight entertained pc
destrians on Putnam street Wednes-
day afternoon. An old flea bitten
horse attached to a rickety spring |
wagon was coming up the street on a |
gallop, a bareheaded old man was
standing in the wagon and yelling for |
the horse to stop while he frantically |
jerked one line. The old horse be- |
came winded and slowed down to a |
walk on Third street and the old man !
forgot to yell.

Recently Judge Young sitting in i
murder trial at Upper Sandusky, in
structed the representatives of the
press to retire, stating that he believed
the publication of the testimony would
have tendency to prejudice future
trials and embarrass the court officials
in the securing of a jury. The
Scripps-McRae League, through its at
torneys, filed a petition in the Supreme
Court asking that an alternative writ OF
mandamus be issued to compel Judge
Young to appear and say why he had
excluded the press. On Tuesday the
court handed down its decision in the
case, holding that the judge in a case
may use his own discretion as to the
exclusion Of newswriters from the
court room during the taking of testi-
mOny. This decision is far-reaching
in it's effects, and it occurs to us that
in many instances its results may be
anything but beneficial. True, there
is much sensational court testimony
which, if reproduced in the press, is
poisonous and deleterious to the pub
lie mind, but a rule so rigid as to eX-
clude all of the evidence in a case is
dangerous and is calculated to do
harm rather than good, The publica-
ton of the truth in a decent way is
most certain to have a good influence
on the public in general.

ROMANcES OF DESCENT.
Peasant People of Wessex Who
Claim Relationship to Royal
Families.

Mr.. Hardy has shown in "Tess Of
the D'Urbervilles" that in his favor
tie Wessex there are living simple
peasant people who are descended
from some of the best families in the
country. The same conditions are no
doubt to be found all over the coun-
try, and the latest illustration adds
one more romance to the history of
the Stuart house. In Cardiff there
is living, quietly and simply, a gen
tleman who claims to be a ineal de-
scendant of the line of Charles I.
Charles Stuart is his name, and he is
the inventor of many ingenious me-
chanical contrivances. The family's
faith in their descent is very strong,
and in vindication of it the eldest son
is always named Charles, says the
London Chronicle.
In its way this case is as interest
ing as that of the Sobieski Stuarts,
who are buried in the Catholic
church yard at Eskadale, II miles
from Inverness, with Celtic cross
over their heads, setting forth their
union in life and in death They
claimed to be the sons of the only son
of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and
the Countess of Albany. This son,
according to the story, was brought
up as Lieut.. Thomas Allen, of the
royal navy, and in 1872 married .
daughter Of the vicar of Goda1ming.
The two young men both married
into good Scotch families.

a LOVERS SONG.

Spring, you say. is for the far
Footing where the hill-pathS ares
For the raptured listening
To the nesting tawny-wing:
For the sentient ecstasy
Permeating sod and tree!
Marry, lad, it may be so!
II not, then for what? you crys
Springtime is for Love, I trowl
Just for Love! say I.
Summer, say you. is for dreams
Where the lakes blue ripple CLEANS:
Is for reveling at will
In the scents the roses spill;
Is for sloughing care and stress:
Is for honeyed idlenessi
Faith, my lad, 1T may be so!
If not, then for what? you cry;
Summer is for Love. trow!
Just for Love! say I.
Autumn, say you, is for all
Nature holding carnival;
Fruit grown mellow to the core
On the upland, by the shore;
Brimming bin and bursting sheaf.
And rich livery for the leaf!
Sooth, my lad, it may be so!
If not, then for what? you crys
Autumn is for Love, trow!
Just for Love! say 1.
Winter, say you, is for books y
Read in log-warmed ingle-nooks: !
For the wonders Of the air
Where the great auroras flare;
For the merry rites that rule
Till the waning tide of Yule!
Marry, lad, it may be so!
If not. then for what? you cry:
Winter is for Love, I trow!
Just for Love! say I.
