DEATH OF FRANCIS CARNEY.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Of Colorado
Suceumbs to Paralysis.

Denver 5.-An Ouray special of last
night to the Republican says:
EX-Lieutenant Governor Francis
Carney died this afternoon from pa
ralysis. Several physicians held hourly
consultations and stayed with the pa
tient until the end, but it was known
several days ago that he could not live.
His relatives, including his nephew,
Fred Carney, who came from Denver
last night, We're with him when he
died. He was unconscious for many
hours before death.
Francis Carney has been promi-
nent man in Colorado for number Of
years. He was lieutenant governor
under Governor Thomas, having been
elected as Popullst on II Fusion tic
ket. AS presiding officer of the Twelfth
General Assembly he displayed eccen-
tricities which marked him as an
unique character, but no one doubted
his integrity.

CHICKENS in SOUTH AFRICA.
Former Colorado Man Runs a Show
Poultry Farm.

]. II. Hildebrandt, an old resident
of Denver, has struck it rich in South
Africa-not in the gold mines, but in
the chicken and duck business, says
the Denver Republican. About II year
ago Mr.. Hildebrandt conceived the
idea of Introducing American methods
of raising poultry in that country. and
established the Good Hope Poultry
Farm, which has become one of the
show places of the vicinity of Cape
town. 1t covers ten acres, about i've
miles out of the city. The product OF
the ranch Is entirely dressed poultry,
chickens and ducks. No eggs or live
chickens are sold. The finest stock of
ducks and Black Hamburg fowls are
imported and used for breeding. The
eggs are placed in incubators, the
Matching plant having II capacity OF
500 eggs u month. The incubators are
of American make and are i'll charge
Of expert incubator men from Penn
sylvania. They have made Il record
Of Matching and saving eighty-tive per
cent. of the chickens and ducklings
from eggs set, and the product of the
farm is about 10000 dressed pouits IL
year. Mr. Hildebrandt obtains the
highest price for his entire product
without difficulty. Another American
novelty he has introduced is lucerne
or alfalfa, of which there, as here,
three or four crops u year can be
raised. His American vegetable gar
den, with green corn, is another source
of wonder to the natives.
On this ten-acre tract Mr.. Hide
brandt lives in great comfort, his ell
terprise having proved II thorough
financial success. His brother, George
Hildebrandt, who works in the mail
ing department of the Republican, re-
Gently received copies of two of the

Great coIored Educator Buys Boston
Residence.

The estate on Main street. near Co
iumbian, known as the Quincy Loud es-
tate, at South Weymouth, Massa-
chusetts, has been purchased by Book
er It. Washington. the well-known col
ored educator. says the Boston Globe.
The property comprises about two
ncres of land modest two and one
half story structure. with large stable
adjoining. The house is quite old and
will be thoroughly remodeled before
Mr.. Washington takes possession. The
land is adapted for farming, having
been used for that purpose for num-
ber of years.
The estate Is situated in the resi-
Dental part of the village and is near
the spacious residence of II. Il. Reed
and the Minot Tirrell place on Main
street.
President w. II. Baldwin. Jr., of the
Long Island railroad is understood to
have been the agent acting for Mr..
Washington, and the transaction was
consummated before the residents of
the village realized that they We're to
have such distinguished neighbor.
Mr.. Washington has two children at
tending schools in the vicinity of Bos-
ton, and from what could be learned
from various sources in the village it
is the intention of Mr.. Washington to
pass only the summer months there.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
CHRISTMAS in Australia.


Ii is hard for us jewellers in the
north to realize what Christmas
weather is in the antipodes. Hot and
dusty and dispiriting, it would seem
there could be little thought of re-
joicing at such season, but the fes-
tival spirit was strong in the race
which fashioned far-off Australia into
a great country, and it will not be
robbed of its traditional merrymaking.
Such a merrymaking had been
planned at the farm of John Wickham.

ing farm, though many miles away,
and Frank was to spend the week
with them.
Naturally the girl had been looking
forward impatiently to this visit of her
lover. Distances in those days were
immense, and the only means of travel
was the horse, so that the young peo-
pie did not see each other very often.
and Milly was almost counting the
hours that must elapse before his ar
rival.

On Christmas eve she stood in the
and watched anxiously for Franks
coming. He was late, for she had ex-
pected him since the morning. and
these were the days of the bushrang-
ers. If Frank had been waylaid by
them, she thought, with a shudder.
there would be little merrymaking for
her.
Milly stood there for some time
shading her eyes with her hand and
peering in the direction from which
she expected her lover to appear. The
sound of fast-falllng hoofs rapidly
nearing her caused an expression Of
joy to cross her face. still mingled
with a little anxiety, for Frank had
not given the joyful "Coo-eel" which
he always sounded at the same dis
lance, and her heart misgave her that
the fast-coming rider could not be him,
but a casual stranger.
Rapidly the horse drew nearer, TAX
ing shape in the darkness, and still no
joyful hail from the rider. Alarmed.
she hastily sounded the well-known
call. No answer! Then with a mad
rush which told of his terror, the horse
his horse-rushed past her and
stood trembling in the yard. to which
his instinct had brought him for safe
ty, and Milly saw that the saddle was
empty!
Quickly calling to her father inside
the house, she fastened to calm the
terrified horse. and lead him to The
door. The light from the lantern held
by her father showed her what she
had feared TO see-the saddle wet with

the crisis was passed But as his
mind gained strength his body lost,
and one dawn, after a restless sleep,
he reused and looked at me.

And then he laid his dear head on
my shoulder and told me how he had
loved and sinned for the high-bred
girl he had known from childhood;
how she had vowed she would remain
faithful to him, sharing his poverty
and loneliness and how she never
came. Instead he received a letter
saying she had pledged her word to
rich man. the shock turned him silly
