America, in my estimation, have con-
ditions offered more genuine opportu-
mites for the acquisition Of wealth by
the masses than today"
This statement is 80 dianetrically
opposed to the views expressed in q
Chicago paper as emanating from Mr..
Hill that Wall street was puzzled. Mr..
Hill has been very busy since his ar
rival in New York, and has not been
easy Of access. It was generally con-
ceded in the street that this quotation
was much more in line with the usual
utterances of Mr.. Hill than was the
interview formerly credited to him,
and the conclusion was reached that
this was correct, and that Mr.. Hill had
been misquoted in the former case.

DYING IN THEIR BOOTS.
Tillman Family Has q Record For
Violence.

Tillman Family Has q Record For
Violence.
Some years ago it was said Of the
Alston family of this state that they
were famous for dying in their boots.
Tillmans of Edgefleld have a rec
ord in this respect. William Tillman,
the oldest brother Of Senator Tilman,
was killed in battle in Mexico. oliver
Tillman, another brother, was shot to
death by Andrew Neel in Florida while
eating dinner at hotel. Neel escaped
from jail, went to Mississippi; was a
trial justice there in 1871, and was
finally killed in his yard by a young
man who was courting his daughter.
John Tillman, another Of the Tillman
brothers was shot by George Mays, a
kinsman and neighbor, while driving
along the road in the piney woods near
the homes Of both men. This tragedy
occurred before the war. John Tillman
lived several days and died In great
agony. He was a handsome and a
brilliant man, but reckless in con-
duct. Geo. D. Tillman, the late con-
gressman and eminent statesman,
stood on the streets of Edgefield un-
armed, when young man, approached
and opened his bosom in bold defiance
Of General Weaver who fired on him
until a friend handed him pistol.
Neither man was hurt. Some time af-
ter that this George D. Tillman killed
a man by the name Of Christian at
Edgefield. This was a most unfortu-
nate affair and one which weighed
heavily on Mr.. Tillman throughout his
long life.
Now the last act in the bloody drama
is the killing Of Editor N. g. Gonzales
by James H. Tillman, eldest son Of the
late George D. Tillman, on the streets
of Columbia last Thursday. This final
tragedy is not in keeping with the
record of the Tillman family II the
published statements Of the shooting
Of Mr.. Gonzales be true. Gonzales was
unarmed and had slightly changed the
direction of his course to avoid coming
in too close contact with Tillman when,
without a word Of warning, a pistol
was thurst at him and a ball sent
through his body. And then again
was the murderous weapon presented
to repeat it's deadly work when Con-
zales cried, "Shoot again, you coward" ."
In the presence Of defenseless, but
brave man already shot to death, Till
man lowered his pistol and walked
away.
However great the wrong or deep
and cutting the injury that may have
been done Mr.. Tillman by Editor Con-
zales, where Is there man IN the
light of civilization who can do aught
but condemn such an act? A cold
deed that takes from the world, family
and friends the life of an unarmed and
defenseless man without notice that
his life is about to be taken. TO
avenge wrong, blood is shed, innocent
people are irreparably injured, the
name Of the state held up to the Sc
we're criticism Of the country and the
life of the slayer ruined. This is the
result Of the dire calamity which has
befallen the people Of this state

is that of Foote, the actor. Dining
with some friends. . heated dispute
arose between himself and q young
nobleman. The latter sought to dis
parage Foote by asking him what his
father was.
"a tradesman," said Foote.
'Then, sir, it Is pity he did not
make you one."
"And pray. let me ask. what was

Port Townsend, Wash, Jan. T.
News of the wIcck of the No.Heglan
bark Prince Arthur. anu the death by
drowning OF cighteoa OF the crew was
rccei. ed during the day. The Prince
Arthur was bound from Valparaiso for
British Columbia to load lumber. On
the nistI OF Jan. 2 the vessel ran into
breakers and was soon hard and fast
on the rocky shore. The scene of the
disaster is about two miles south of
Ozette. on the Washington coast, fiji
teen miles from Cape Flattery This
is precisely the position in which the
German bark Flotbck was rescued by
tugs in the winter OF 1900. AS the
Umatilla light vessel lies about three
miles off shore from Ozette, it is be-
lieved that the Prince Arthur mistOok
the liehtship for Tatoosh Island and
sailed eastward, believing she was
entering the Straits instead of running
blindly to her tate. OF the twenty
ncmhers OF the Prince Arthur's crew
/ .uly two were saved and they We're
nearly exhausted when they were
washed ashore. The bodies of eighteen
drowrod soamen are being buried by
Iancher5 and Indians living near the
scene Of the disaster as they come
ashore.
Although Ozette is but thirteen miles
from Ncah Bay, news of the wreck
was received by way of East Clallan.
having been brought out by mail car

ing to the inaccessible location of
OZette, only meagre details are OBJ

The Prince Arthur was an iron bark
OF 1.509 tons built at Birkenhead in
1869. She was formerly called the
Hoghton Head.
