DESIRED To BE WHITE.
Why Dempsey Hare Cut His Daugh

In the contested will case of Demp-
sey Hare, an octoroon, who was the
richest negro in Eastern Virginia,
his daughter, Ira Ann, while cut of
with $40 because she refused to
marry a white man, went on the
stand. She said: ''My papa permitted
my husband to visit me two years
before marriage, but was always
saying he and l were white and l
should not marry this negro man. He
told me the name of the white man
he had picked out, but / didn't love
him. loved the man ran away to
marry, despite papa's wishes. Be-
sides, l knew had negro blood, and
the Virginia laws wouldn't let me
marry white man. When he heard
OF. my marriage papa got very mad
and never afterward recognized me
as daughter. Then he left all his
farms and other things to DR.. Hol-
land and States Attorney Holland,
both white"
Mary b. Scott, a nearly white
school teacher, said Dempsey Hare
offered her 81, 900 to cook for him
week, and promised all his property
If she would become his wife. Wit
ness and Hare claimed to be white.

CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
Bloody Scene in Pittsburg, Penn
sylyanfa, Home.

A CHASTITY discovery was made
Wednesday, when some neighbors
hearing cries coming from the resi-.
dence of Vincent Vencelsick, broke
in the door, and found the bedroom
of the house saturated with blood
Mrs. Vencelsick lay beside the bed,
her face and head crushed almost
beyond recognition, dead. Three
little children, their heads and bodies
covered with cuts and gashes, and
the husband, Vencelsick, almost dead,
were lying on the floor.
From what could be learned it ap.
pears that Vencelsick came home in
toxicated, and assaulted his wife
with rail-cutter. The first blow
inflicted an ugly gash on her shoulder
and knocked her down, but she was
on her feet again in an instant, and
with such weapons as she could find
in the room, defended herself.
The three children were asleep in
one of the beds, and the drunken
father, becoming enrsged at his wife,
rushed to the bed and rained blow after
blow upon the sleeping little ones.
The sharp edge of the cutter hacked
the children in frightful inner,
and the hospital physicians say that
there is very little hope of their
recovery.
woMAN's FIGHT FOR CHILDREN.
The attack on the children infuri-
ated- the wife, and with knife in
each hand she sprang at her husband,
and stabbed him number of times.
He managed to get in a number of
blows during the close battle, and
seeing that she was getting weak, he
gave her a shove, and as she stag
gered back brought the cutter down
on her skull with all his force, crush
ing her skull, and she fell to the
floor, dead.
BY the time he had killed his wife,
Vancelsick was exhausted. lie sank
to the floor and lay there throughout
the night, unable to move. The
moans of the children and the cries
of one of them were what attracted
the neighbors next morning.

POLITICAL pgRFIDY.
Th. New Attorney -eenersi's Broke,
Promises Worry Richmond.

Promises Worry Rieb mond.
considerable gossip has been caused
in Richmond political circles by the
failure of Russell Bargamin to be
named as clerk in the office of At
torney-General. 1t is asserted that
Mr.. Bargamin was an iudefatigable
worker for the nomination of Major
Anderson. and that the place was
promised him, and that number of
votes in the nominating convention
were given Major Anderson because
it was believed that Mr.. Bargamin
would be his assistant.
Mr.. Bargamin takes the matter
placidly, and when seen by a re-
porter for the Nescs recently was
hard at work in his Office. When
questioned regarding the alleged
promise to him, he replied with
significant remark:
"The more See of the doings of
expert political jugglers, who make
promises prior to election, the more
my admiration is increased for men
like Senator Thomas S. Martini"
VOLUNTARY PROMISE.
Immediately after the Norfolk
Convention while Major Anderson
was attending a session of the Suf-
frage Committee, which was held in
the rooms of the Supreme Court of
Appeals" said he, she came to me
of his own volition and rendered me
the position of clerk in his Office"
added Mr.. Bargamin.
"This was the first mention of the
subject between us, but ! had it
from delegates in the Constitutional
Convention-J. II. Lindsay, of Char
lottesville, and Judge G. Taylor GAR
nett, of Mathews, particularly-that
it was settled that l was to have the
appointment.
"Other friends who interested
themselves in my behalf and in his
behalf express themselves to the
effect that an advantage has been
taken of me and them.
GOLD, OLD STORY"
''Some weeks ago, when quibbling
developed, 1 dismissed tie whole
subject from my mind and turned
my attention to my profession, salts
fed that it was the old, old story of
politician and not a statesman"
Mr.. Bargamin is not worrying
over the fact that the position was
not given to him. He says he de-
sired the position for the prestige it
would have given him as a lawyer
and the opportunities it would have
afforded him to familiarize himself
with intricate and knotty problems
of the law.
Within the last few weeks there
has been some pretty sharp corre-
spondence between Mr.. Bargamin
and Major Anderson, but it is being
withheld from the papers for the
present, with the promise that there
may be some mighty good reading"
given to the public at no distant
day.-Richmond Ne,cs.

THAT NEW STATE HOUSE.

Our esteemed friends, the democrats OF
Montana, have erected a very fine capitol
building at Helena which is really a credit
to the state. II is substantially construct
ed, mostly OF materials from the mines,
quarries and forests of this great state.
Its copper dome, lit up these days by a
genial November sun, shines from afar
like the dome of st. Peters. This state
house, built by our democratic friends, is
"a thing Of beauty" and ii not "a joy
fovever," it will be joy for many day
to come.
The two legislative chambers are espe-
cally to be praised. The ceilings are
claborately and artis,ically decorated the
comfortable.
Speaking collectively, these chairs will
be first warmed by republicans. That
this will be source of democratic sor-
row goes without saying. Could Our
democratic friends have foreseen this po-
litical situation they would not have made
these chairs so comfortable. They might
even have put spikes in them.
But the chairs are there, comfortable
almost as chairs can be made and the
republicans will be there to fill them when
the president of the senate and the
speaker Of the house rap their respective
legislative bodies to order.
1t will be far from glad day for the
democracy Of Montana, but it will be a
good thing for the state and the people
as whole. Ii means that no foolish
laws will find their way to the statute
books II will be notice to the balance
OF the country that the democratic and
populist party is on the toboggan slide
in this state. 1t marks the end of
irrational and freak legislation in the
Treasure state. Mr.. Ieinze will not get
his two judges to be appointed by "his
friend, the governor"
Montana may well throw up her bonnet
and rejoice.

MONTANA IN CONGRESS.

With all the people OF Montana the
Inter Mountain is gratified that so able
man as the Hon. ]. M. Dixon of Missoula
has been clothed with the dignity of con-
grcssonal honors. Being young man he
will bring additional strength to the
already important coterie of young West
ern congressman at Washington, and he
will be a valuable acquisition to the rcpub-
lican majority OH the floor of the house.
1t is certain that now Montana will have a
voice in important legislative questions, for
Mr.. Dixon has demonstrated his qualities
as debatcr to be of the highest order.
Whenever there is an opportunity to fur
thcr the interests OF his state and people,
Mr. Dixon will be found in the front OF
the contest, and being hooked up with
the national administration will enable him
to secure to this state all OF the advantages
that are coming to it.

ONE OF THE PROOFS.

One of the most unmstakable proofs
OF the election returns is that Judge Hoi-
loway was elected by republican votes,
and that the votes given to him by the
Heinzc faction were votes that he did not
need The Inter Mountain said repeat
edy during the progress OF the campaign
that Mr.. Heinzes gratuitous help ex-
tended to the republican candidate for
associate justice was help that the candi-
date was not in need OF. Judge Holloway
was the unanimous choice Of the rcpub-
lican state convention. 1t was tribute
TO his personal integrity and his we'll
known record as district judge. The
confidence that the party and the people
have placed in him will without doubt be
honored by his career on the supreme
bench. He will be worthy successor to
Justice Piggott.

THE END OF SIZZLING SAM,

Sizzling Sam was sinner sad,
A terror for men to shun;
He loved to wade in human gore
And he shed it just for fun.
With his guns in hand he was full of
sand,
He staggered about in manner grand
There wasn't one in the Texas town
Who was game enough to call him down.
Sand load TIP with trantler Juice
And meandcr forth to kill
He had a private boneyard, which
He Dragged he was going to fill.
Other bad men ran when the fun began
There wasn't slayer in all the clan
For the bush they'd take like frightened
And keep mighty scarce while Sam was
There came one day to the Texas town
A youth with citifed air,
Whose tourist togs were noisy, and
Who bisected his blonde hair;
This dainty young man went about to
The sights of the town, and very soon
Against the greatest of all kcr-slam--
The appariton of sizzling Sam.
Commotion then arose forthwith
There cnsucd wild affair
INH1cless form lay stark and still
And nobody seemed to care.
And the life.ess clay rudely borne away
To the burying ground Of Sam that day
Was torn and twisted all out of shape
And wore not even a rag OF Grape.
Sizzling Sam was gone galoot
And the town was howling gad
With eager haste they planted HIM
Not a single soul was sad.
The Gifted youth had done the trick
Was ping-pong player and lightning
quick;
And Sam, while trying his moves to
check,
Got badly tangled up and broke his neck.

THE BUTTE INTER MOUNTAIN

Of American prosperity. In measure the
campaign just ended has been fought out
on this issue. While tariff revision was
not actively espoused by any parties Of
Importance, it was frequently discussed and
the overwhelming republican majorities
are none other than a Straightforward vim
dication OF the protective tariffs Of Mckin-
ley and Dingley. The pulse of the people
has been felt on this subject, and the result
of the election makes it certain that the
democratic party will have to look to other
upon which to fight out the national cam
paign two years hence.

next day they had struggle with the
seats.
"It's something of knack 10 get the
seats ZIP, and these stake men were so slow
that when we got back from the parade
VIC found that they had only succeeded in
getting up the seats on one side of the
tent, and it was IL o'clock then.
THE old man stood in the center of the
ring and impaired valuable family facts to
them free of cost AS a result these chaps
got mad and went on strike right there.
There was nothing for it then but to
get to work and put up the seats ourselves,
so we all went out to the cook tent to get
dinner, and then we were to come back and
put on the blue-panted boards
I'VE had been at the table for about 10
minutes when the men in charge of the
tent came rushing in and beckoned the old
man out He came back with a grin OH
his face, and told us to take our time eat
ing, as he had someone to look after the
seats for us.
When we got back to the tent there
was Boniface working away like whole
gang. He had put up every seat on one
side of the tent, and had made the neatest
job of it that has been done all season.
He had seen the men work at it so
often that he knew just how, and being
left alone in the ring he had just naturally
turned to and finished the job"
