"reminiscences OF the Humor-
ist Recalled by Goodwin

Here are two good stories which
Thomas Fitch, an old friend of Mark
Twain, who was his fellow citizen of
Virginia City in the sixties, tells of
the humorist:
'One Christmas eve all of us except
Mark were seated in the smoking
room awaiting the nouncemen OF
dinner, when there arrived a lad with
a package for Mr.. Clemens, which he
was directed to take to the smoking
room. After his departure we ex-
amined the bundle, for we were CON-
munists in spirit, and found that Il,
contained a pretty knitted wooden
scarf and a card bearing the inscrip-
ton, Mr.. Samuel L. Clemens, from
his friend Eta
- can improve upon that message,
suggested Daggett, who was the wag
and philosophical disputant and crib
bage player of the club. and, obtain
ing a sheet of note paper he wrote in
a fine female hand the following note:
Mr.. Clemens: The accompany
ing scarf having been prepared as a
Christmas gilt for you, it has been de-
telmiaed not to divert it from its
original destination, although a
knowledge of your late conduct hav-
ing come to the ears of the writer,
your own conscience will tell you this
must close all communication between
us. in which decision my father and
mother concur. Your former friend
Eta.
The scarf was ~rewrapped, and WITH
this note tied to it was placed in
Sans room. Shortly afterward he
made his appearance and proceeded t
his room to prepare for dinner. Soon
we heard the crockery going.
What is the matter, SAM said
Daggett.
"Thereupon entered Mark Twain,
with eoat and collar OFF, and throwing
the package upon the table, he burst
forth:

Culver, who claims to be connected with
the Police Gazette, enroute from San
Francisco to New York and expected to
cover the distance dependant largely
upon charity or beating his way in the
good old hobo style for he was not per-
mitted to have the color of money about
him. The luxury of meals were to come
from the free lunches enroute. and he
was due to be in New York on June 9th,
leaving him only about week TO COM
plete thousand miles of his journey.
He walked across the continent In i've
months and twenty-one days and came
in two hours ahead of the time stipu-
lated. His home trip may be made in
any manner, except that he can't ride on
passenger train, sleep in bed or eat
at table or pay for anything Five
thousand dollars will be his reward it
he wins. He is X. p. and Mason,
also member of the New York brother
hood of locomotive fremen.s He is rs
years old and weighs 1853 pounds.

Married..
LAMPMAN-MC GIFFIN.

At the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George F. McGiffin, at s
o'clock Wednesday evening, occurred the
marriage of Miss Mae McGiffin and Mr..
David Lampman. About fifty relatives
and friends were present to witness the
ceremony which was performed by Rev.
A. W. Stephens. The home was very
prettily decorated with yellow flowers
and ferns. At the appointed hour the
wedding party were ushered into the
presence of the guests by wedding
march played by Miss Edna Wilson.
The bride was attired in white organdie
and carried brides roses. She was &C.
companied by Miss Carrie Trevorrah as
bridesmaid and the groom by Mr.. AL
bert RAIDER as best man. A season OF
congratulations was followed by we'd
ding supper. The bride and groom left
on the evening train for Prairie du Sac,
the former home of the groom, where a
brief honeymoon will be passed. Both
the young people to this union are we'll
and favorably known to the community
and have the best wishes of all. Mr..
Lampman for several years past has been
employed as telegraph operator by the
Milwaukee railway.

Wallace S. Brown and G.. G. Bieder-
man Joined a large excursion party at
Madison Friday evening that were guests
of the Gates Land company until Mon
day morning. A special train of six
sleepers carried nearly 800 people, made
up very largely of prominent men from
all over the state, and was the largest
excursion ever taken through the north
ern portion of the state at the expense
OF land company. The itinerary took
them over portions of the Omaha, 500
and Wisconsin Central roads. One
stretch of about eighteen miles was COW
cred in carriages and in nearly every city
carriages or trolley cars were pressed
into service, if the population had reach
ed the point where such luxuries ex-
listed. 1t was slow town that at least
did not send a brass band to the depot
to escort the 800 hungry travellers to
convenient eating house.
1t was an epoch making trip, if the
words of many speakers may be accept
ed. Each city visited in the newer and
least developed country regarded the ex-
cursion as the greatest event since the
place came into existence. Longest of
all stops was that at Ladysmith, where
an entire night was SPENT and the peo-
pie Hooked out en- masse to mark the
date as the most memorable during the
two years of the city's life.
That the land visited has brilliant
future was taken as an established fact
from the onset. In the eight counties
travelled through-Eau Claire, Chippe-
wa, Gates, Price, Taylor, Marathon, Wood
and Clark-was shown every kind of de-
sirable land from the uncut stretches of
magnificent standing forests and tangled
underbrush in Gates and Price counties
| to the heavily bearing farms of Clark
county, on which the massive trees have
been felled and crops of valuable grain
planted, or over which herds of cattle
and hocks of sheep are grazing.
| Of course the object of taking SO large
party through portion of the state
that needs settlers, and it must have cost
| the proprietors a pretty sum, was to i'm
press upon the business interests the
advantages of investments in that Sec
ton. It proved to be the biggest kind
of an adv. for the Gates Land Co. which
has controlled, first or last, good share
of the territory which now comprises
| three counties.

A NOTED WOMAN DEAD.

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont.
widow of General John c. Fremont
died last week of pneumonia at her
home in Los Angeles, California, at
the age of IS years.
Mrs. Fremont was taken in on
Christmas morning. She grew
rapidly worse and soon lapsed into
Inconsistencies, from which she
never rallied. For the last three
years the aged widow of the "Path-
Under" bad been extremely feeble
as a result of fall in which she suf
fered dislocation':of the hip, which
had since prevented her from walk
ing. A naturally strong copstitu-
ton was impaired by the shock of
the fall, and recently Mrs. Fremont
had required the attendance OF
trained nurse, her advanced years
aiding the gradual decline of her
strength.
We had the pleasure of meeting
this handsome old lady ten years
ago at the beautiful home of Judge
Silent in Los Angeles. We we're
introduced to her and found her
very pleasant and lively and in
telligent. She had smile and a
hand shake for all who we're intro
duced to her, and seemed very
strong and hearty then. Her hus-
band General John Charles Fremont
vas the first Republican nominee
for the Presidency Of the United
States, and was nominated at Phila-
delphia June n, 1886, but was
defeated by James Buckhannon.
lie was nominated the second time
on May 81 1864 by the Republicans
at Cleveland, Ohio, but was persuad
ed later on to Withdraw in favor Of
Abraham Lincoln for second
term. lie was called the path
Under on account Of his many ex-
ploraiions in the west and was the
first United States Senator from
California Ills wife Jessie Benton
was the second daughter Of Thomas
Hart Benton, United States Senator
from Missouri and she was married
TO Fremont secretly at the age of
sweet sixteen" and has survived
her husband many years.
