they couldn't put the air brake on him
whene'er he rose until he'd filled four
numbers of the Congressional Record.
Between quotations which showed the
operations of the hellish Money Power
down in Wall strete. MIR. Lewis drop
ped these observations about the De-
mocracy:
What do l think of Cleveland's lat
est? Mr. Cleveland lives in the mem
DRY of yesterday. He can't see any,
thing but the tariff. In his mind. the
god of Democracy has but one prophet
and he's at Princeton.
The Democracy can't guide itself
alone by the history of the past. 1t
must look at the sign posts of the flu
ture. The tariff is only a part of
the question of taxation, and taxation
is only one of the many questions with
which the party of the future must
deal.
Just now there are only three men
who have a chance for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency. Bryan
could not be nominated or elected, If
the radical end of the party controls
the next convention, the section that
nominated Bryan. it viii not be strange
If Tom L. Johnson is the candidate.
True he was whipped pretty we'll in
Ohio, but / think my conclusion still
holds good. Hill will be candidate,
l suppose, but it seems doubtful, very
doubtful If he can be nominated. Out
West they don't believe he'll be able
to get the support of New York Rich
ard Olney will be the man for the con-
sentative Democracy; and If Hill
should forget himself for once in his
life, he could bring about the nominal
ton of Mr. Olney." "'
Mr.. Lewis cooked his eye at the as
cending Traction stocks and started
in to settle the Republican situation:
Much the same situation will exist
in the Republican party If existing
conditions develop along natural lines
there will be two candidates, Hanna
and Roosevelt, and l believe that by
1904 the conservative Republicans will
be for Hanna as against Roosevelt
But Roosevelt, If beaten. may be able
to defeat Hanna. He'll turn of course
to Senator Spooner of Wisconsin as
his man. Then naturally the party
will look elsewhere. 1t will be politics
to take the candidate from a doubtful
state, so Senator Beve ridge of Indiana
will be the choice"
IN bet you a thousand dollars to a
hundred" said bystander, that Mr.
! Cleveland is nominated in 1904 by the
Democratic party, and that, as Nc
Kinley was elected in 1896 by Demo
cratic votes. so will Mr.. Cleveland be
elected in. 1904 by Republican business
mems votes"
Wont take you" replied Mr.. Lewis
but | will bet you a thousand dollars
to a hundred, that Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana is nominated for President
by the Republicans in 1904"
Wont take you," said the bystand-
er.

CALF LOVE.
The Woes of the Young Lover.


Dorothy Dix in Ainslee's.
1.-THE third age of love is the callow
age, in which a boy always falls in
love with a woman old enough to be
his mother. 1t is accompanied by a de-
sire on his part to be thought very,
very old, and very, very wicked. He re-
CARDS any reference to his age as a
personal insult. and hates those who
call him by his Christian name.
He scorns girls of his own age. and
wonders what grown men can see in
their innocent faces and fresh prattle
to interest them. He is ages beyond
that sort of thing. True, ii makes him
vince to recall that the object of his
alteration might have held him on her
knees when he was so disgustingly
young as to be a baby, and he even
realizes that a brutal world might
laugh at their disparity in years, but
this is because the world doesn't know
how awfully old he really is, or how
blase he feels. After all. 1t is the heart,
and not years, that makes ones age.
This is rarely a happy time in a
boys life. for the youth who essays to
pluck the full-blown rose of love is apt
to get some nasty thorns in his fingers.
Generally, lads first passion is for
his school mistress, If she is at all
youthful or good-looking, and he miss

on the contrary, told her that the al
legged marriage was a mock one; that
the man who performed the ceremony
was not a magistrate, as he had as
sured her. and that there was no legal
marriage between them. The CONVEX
sation continued for some time and,
failing to induce him to acknowledge
her as his wife, she rose to leave
AS she was about to leave Sarvis re-
marked to her that she ought not to be
going about with pistol in her hands,
and asked her to give him the weapon.
This she did, whereupon he fired at
her and then turned the pistol upon
himself, shooting himself through the
neck. When shot she reeled a little
distance before falling. This is sub
stantially her account of the affair
The testimony developed the fact that
the young ladys face showed only a
few powder burns. whereas Sarvis face
was badly scorched, indicating that the
pistol must have been nearer to him
when fired than to her. There were no
eye-witnesses to the affair, so far as
now is known. The impression of those
who first reached the scene after the
shooting seems to have been that Sar-
Wis had shot Miss Burns and fled On
going to the door of the office where
the shooting took place the body of
hind a board partition. Thinking Sar-
Wis had escaped. these persons did not
stop to investigate at all. In a few
minutes. however, they did come back
and found the young lady in the office,
supporting the head of the dead man
in her lap.
Before going to Sarvis' Office Miss
Burns stopped at Mr.. c. R. Ford rs
store and wrote Sarvis a note. He sent
hnr anil ~.-sf Al
of the same sheet of paper. This paper
Miss Burns tore up in Mr. Ford's store
and threw the pieces on the floor. After
the tragedy the pieces were gathered
up and, after being pasted together,
were offered in evidnce at the coroner
inquest Miss Burns note was as fol-
lows: Dear Duston: Come over here
to the office. / want to see you a few

whether 1t was a mock marriage or a

SARvIS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
The CorOner's Jury ExOnerates Miss

Whom He Had Been Secretly Mar

From the News and Courier.

r1eO.
From the News and Courier.
Marion, S. c., Nov. 26.-Dr. J. c.
Mace, coroner. held an inquest Mon
day night over the body of Dustan II.
Sarvis. the young man who is alleged
to have committed suicide at Nichols.
this county, on the afternoon of that
day. The verdict of the coroner
jury was that the deceased came to
his death from the effects of a pistol
shot wound, self-infiicted. This exon
crates Miss Josephine Burns from the
charge of having done the shooting.
Miss Burns was present at the in
quest and testified that Sarvis was her
husband, having been secretly married
to her in the town of Mullins on the
night of Sept. %, the night the Rev.
Sam Jones lectureds in that town. 1t
was understood that the marriage was
TO be kept a secret until Christmas, but
in some way the young lady's family
heard of 1t and insisted that it be
publicly acknowledged by Sarvis. Mon
day afternoon she went TO see Sarvis
az his office, in the Atlantic Coast Line
depot. in which Sarvis occupied the
position of telegraph operator, to beg
him to acknowledge the marriage. She
told Sarvis her family were indianant
and would insist upon his recognizing
her as his wife. She told him her
brother was determined that the mar
rage must be at once publicly ac-
knowledged and that he had armed
himself TO enforce his demands. To
SHOW saryis how terribly in earnest
her brother was she showed him a pis-
Vol which her brother had recently p,,o-
cured. This pistol she had taken out
o. hsr brothers trunk 10 keep him
from using a. She says Sarvis refus-
90 70 acknowledge the marriage, but.
