DEATH OF MRS. GILBERT.

THE SUDDEN DEATH in Chicago
L of Mrs. G. II Gilbert yesterday
viii cause sorrow. not only among the
acton folk but to hundreds of thou
sands OF American citizens who had
seen her only from the front. Mrs.
Gilbert was. in a way. a pubic NO.
man. For more than sixty years she
had been OF the stage. and she died
in the harness. on Monday lazt she
opened in Chicago an engagement that
was TO have lasted two weeks in a
play written specially for her, Gran
ny"
it was announced at the beginning
OF Mrs. Gilberts tour that this was to
be her last season on the stage. And
right well had she earned the rest she
hoped TO take. She is resting now. the
rest that knows no waking. and who
viii say she has not earned it?
Mrs. Gilbert was in her eighty
fourth year Think Of that. a woman
in her eighty-fourth year going
through a trying part six nights a
week and sometimes two matinees.
Up to yesterday her health seemed
splendid. Apparently she had at least
five or ten years of life before her.
Now she has played her last part. Six
~ years ago she began in THE Tus-
carora Schoolmarm" in Louisville.
Ky. 1t would be interesting to know
how many members of that company
and of the audience that saw the play
are still alive. The probabilities are
that all of them have long since
crossed to the other shore.
Mrs. Gilbert was never a great ac-
tress, though she was always a popu-
lar one. She had been seen in every
city OF consequence il the United
States. and since her debut in New
York in 1864 had played many parts.
she viii be missed. both by the theat-
rical profession and by the play-going
public.

Springfield Republican.)


The late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky
was Oh a hunting expedition near
Louisville and happened to fall in with
a local Nimrod whose unconcealed ad-
miration for the city mans marksman-
ship paved the way for further CONVEX
sation.
What's your name?'' the country
man inquired.

After some change of incident and
experience the bishops interlocutor
hazarded:

An invitation TO hear this new-nlade
acquaintance preach was accompanied
by a scrubbed card. and the next Sab
bath saw the rustic in his Sunday
best ushered into the bishops own
pew. where he listened intently to both
service and sermon.
He was manifestly amazed afterward
to have the orator Of the morning come
down to greet him cordially and famil-
iarly as in the woods. He managed to
stammer his thanks, and added

mother is a mighty thankiess sort Of
child And the fact that the child is
at'work, that it knows it is contribrt-
ing to its mothers support. gives it a
sort of independence. a feeling of re-
sponsibility. that could not otherwise
be acquired
It is unfortunate that children should
ever be compelled 70 work, either for
their own living or to support a de-
pendent parent. But such cases are
bound to happen; at least they do hap
pen all the time. Surely the home is
the place for the mother. 1t is there
that she can do her best work. Let her
make the home pleasant for the child
laborers, let her make them glad to
get home and glad, once there. to stay
there until the time comes when they
must return TO their work The best
influence mother can exert is the
home influence.
The opposite view Of the case shows
us the mother going away every day
to labor, perhaps to scrub floors, per-
haps 10 do washing by the day, per-
haps to work in an Office or a store.
What becomes OF the children? They
are left TO their own devices. Nobody
sees that they go to school, that their
playmates are boys and girls of good
habits. that their associations are
proper. They are thrown upon their
own resources, almost with an invi-
tatiOn 10 go 10 the bad.
OF course if the mother can secure
work she can do at home both she and
the children viii be very much better
off. But when the question as to
whether the mother or the children
should go out to labor there should
be no hesitation. The children should
go. 1t is as much the duty of the
mother to send them as to raise them
properly.

ST. LOUIS FAIR ENDS.

THE FLAGS were hauled down at
the st. Louis exposition on Thurs
lay and the lights turned out forever.
rhe greatest show of it's kind that has
sver been given in the world has
passed into history. In respect of at
tendance the fair was a disappoint-
ment. Only 1880, 600 people, in round
numbers, passed through the gates
during the seven months the grounds
and buildings were open. The attend
ance at Chicago in 1898 was greater
Ihan this by nearly 100000.
Chicago had the advantage of being
4 much larger city, with a far greater
home and suburban population to
Straw. from. It had another advantage
m the fact that its fair was held in
an off year. No presidential contest
with its unsettling of business was on.
The people were not all busy talking
politics. They had more time<in which
to attend the fair. and in spite of the
'act that 1898 was a panic year, they
had, apparently, more money to spend.
third advantage for Chicago was
that the Worlds fair was the first ex-
position Of international, or even ma
sional Importance that had been held
Cor number of years, the greatest
preceding one having been the Centen-
aial in Philadelphia in 1876. The elev-
en years that stretched between Chi
cago and ST. Louis may seem like
long time TO some individuals. But it
ISN'T such a long time after all. We
live rapidly in this country and time
goes swiftly. 1t seems only yesterday
that the Worlds fair ended.
1t was generally conceded by those
who saw both shows that St. Lolis
Tar outstripped Chicago. It was con
ceded too, that at St Louis there was
a great deal more space than was real
ly needed In most instances the ex-
hibits at st. Louis were better than
the similar exhibits at Chicago, bat
some departments at St. Louis we're
inferior. The St. Louis show was we'll
worth seeing, though, and well worth
remembering.
The great disappointment was the
failure OF the airship contests. IT had
been confidently predicted that these
would constitute the distinguishing
feature Of the St. Louis fair They
proved nothing of The sort. Tee only
Hight that might by any stretch Of thr.
imagination be called successful Was
that made by the Baldwin Arrow Of
san Francisco. And its flight was not
altogether satisfactory.

LEWISOHN MUST TESTIFY.

THE WEALTHY MIR. Lewisohn OF
New York must testify against his
friend Richard Garfield. gambler. A
recent decision of the New York court
o. appeals has apparently left him no
other alternative. There is some talk
CT asking the United States supreme
court TO Teview the case, but help from
that quarter is extremely improbable.
Mr.. Lewisohn, thanks to the persist
ence Of District Attorney Jerome, must
testify.
The story of the fight to secure
Lewisohn's testimony is worth telling.
When Prosecutor Jerome began his
crusade against gambling in New York
he instituted proceedings against the
so-calIed king of gamblers" Garfield.
The prosecutor learned that Lewisohn,
as well as many other wealthy New
Workers, had engaged in gambling in
the Garfield place. Lewiston was sum
moned before a grand jury to tell what
he knew. He refused TO tell, pleading
that he could not be required to give
testimony calculated to discriminate
him.
The court sustained Mr. Lewisohn.
Jerome was not discouraged. He
promptly went before the legislature
and had passed a law guaranteeing to
witnesses for the commonwealth in
such cases immunity from prosecution.
Mr.. Lewisohn was summoned before
another grand jury. Again he refused
to testify. this time on the ground that
the new law was retroactive, that no
law could be made to cover an ofense
committed prior TO it's passage. The
court ruled against Mr.. Lewisohn. TAX
ing the ground that the law was in
tended simply TO regulate court pro-
cedure, and it did not make a crime
Of that which was not crime prior
to its passage.
Next the point was made that the
statute did not sufficiently guarantee
witnesses against prosecution. Lew
lSohn attorneys laid before the court
supposittious cases in which great
harm might come to witnesses. How
ever, the court refused to be moved by
this plea. The highest tribunal in the
state having ruled on the point, and
no vital constitutional question that
/ would warrant an appeal to the su-
preme court being involved. Lewisohn
will now be forced TO testify against
his friend Garfield.
Prosecutor Jerome is entitled 10 con-
gratulations on the outcome Of his la
bors. His work will not be finished,
though, until he lands Garfield. gam

CHAPTER Ill.

Ann Rutledge heard through the
open window Peggy's muffied cry and
struggle and ran to the door. BY star,
light IL was barely possible to see a
shadow fleeing from the hand-mill; but
Antywine La Chance, in pursuit of it
passed across the bar of light, 1.-the,
long bodied and lofg-Iimbed shape,
his uncovered blond hair flying back
from a face cut like the high-bred
features of a French noble. He
bounded by the hand-mill and crossed
fence at the foot of the garden.
When Autywine thought he was
about to overtake the object down
the ravine, a scamper of horses
hoofs sounded through the valley.
Peggys captor had left a horse ready
for flight. Instead of making SOUTH
eastward for the Rock creek bridge
and the road to Springfield, he rounded
the bluff and the village, and was evil
IDENTIFY striking toward Beardstown.
The western continuation of New Salem
street, stretching across the prairies
until 1t met and curved with bluffs
along the Sangamon. was the route to
Beardstown, which stood at the juno
ton of the Sangamon with the Illi-
nois.
Light-footed as a deer, scarcely paus-
ing to think, Antywine with inherited
instinct turned east toward the river.
though it was the direction opposite
that in which Peggy was carried A
boat could be found at the mill. The
river was high and running swiftly.
BY taking advantage of the unusual
current he might reach the bluff road
as soon as a horse floundering across
the mud of the prairies would be able
to reach it. What he would then do
afoot he did not attempt to foresee.
There was a small settlement at the
mouth of Rock creek called Wolf. Oxen
were more plentiful than horses in
Wolf, as New Salem; yet Antywine
had one passing fash of determination
to go there and demand a horse. But
breathless with haste, he plunged
through naked woods and down the
terraced bank of the Sangamon, sliding
on dead leaves in his descent, straight
to the mill.
The boat was tied above the dam. He
pushed out before he thought of the
dam, half covered by swelling water
and roaring across the width OF the
Sangamon. Antywine was never more
alive than when his feet were planted
