Alabama Senator Is Thankful That Hearst Will Be Unable to Con- troI One-Thrd of
 Delegation.

Washington, April 11.-(speclal)-sen tor John T. Morgan of Alabama. while personally preferring the nomination of Senator Arthur P. German of Maryland for the democratic presidential nomina- tion at St. Louis, does not look with dis favor upon the Parker presidential boom. On the contrary he Is inclined to well come a means which will insure the de- feat of the elements controlled by w. k. Hearst.
 Should Judge Parker be nominated said Senator Morgan today. T believe he will be elected. He is honest, up- right and conservative and is just such man to place against the Roosevelt administration, which Is as reckless as the lightning and liable to strike in any direction. The people are dissatisfied with the present administration" con tlnued the senator, "and I believe 1t will not be indorsed at the polls There has never been time in this country since the early seventies that the democratic party has not had about one million ma jority.
 The party has failed to register this majority at the polls because of factional troubles, and often the desire to placate this or that faction by the insertion of new fangled ideas in the platform. I am persuaded to believe, however, that the party this year will draw up such a platform as will unite the party and al- low 1t to register it's vote at the polls. In such an event we will gain a great victory.

Bryan will be unable to control one third of the delegates to the convention and will therefore not play an important part in its deliberations. This is greatly to be desired and If it can be attained by a crystiization of senti- ment in favor of the nomination of Judge Parker. well and good Judge Parker is a man of high standing, and while he probably does not possess that degree of familiarity with the details of govern ment which a President should. his other sterling qualities more than supply any deficiency In this respect. l make no doubt that he would as the nominee bring to his support the democratic vote neces- sary to an election"

 Dump Mcdonald was known as one of the biggest hearted men in the city and a man who would stick to his friends through thick and thin. He was consid- cred a dangerous man when under the influence of intoxicants, and he shot and killed two showmen named Fitzpatrick and Ashby in the Peerless saloon a few years ago. This was in self-defense. He had been in difficulties several times but generally on account of taking up the quarrels of his friends.
 Dump Mcdonald was once locomotive fireman. He frequently fired the engine which was run by Lawson, and the two were considered friends.

Soon after the defeat of the Mescalero
Apache Indians by the American troops,
late in the '70s, a portion Of the tribe
fed over the border into Mexico, and
the remainder, submitting to American
control, were assembled on a newly
created reservation of public land ex-

of Apache raiding parties that might be
organized to operate against Mexican
ranches and American settlements.
The task proved difficult one for the
troops, owing to the restlessness of the
Indians, who now for the first time in
their history experienced restraints
beyond those imposed by their personal
necessities, and would have been almost
impossible but for the existence of two
rival factions in the tribe, headed re-
spectively by Long Tail Bull and Little
Eagle. These chiefs were intensely
jealous of each other and through their
faithful followers kept the troops in
some measure informed of what was
going on within the ranks of their op-
ponents. These expositions led quickly
to much bitterness of feeling between
the factions and resulted at last, one fine

HER leap FOR LIFE.
A GIRLS HEROIC PLUNGE INTO
THE COLORADO RIVER.
Caught by Herd Of stampeded Cat
tie on Long Suspension Bridge
Horse and Rider Go
Down Together.

Not many months ago, Miss Beulah
Thorn, who is one of the loveliest girls
in Texas, was out riding on horseback.
Nearby the road passed over the great
suspension bridge mat spans the COL
orado river.
She had trotted about quarter of
the way over when the sound of heavy
hoofs caused her to glance around. Not
hundred yards behind a great cloud
OF dust f1oated in the hot air. And in
this cloud a great herd of oxen was
laundering straight towards her.
With eyes af1ame, and believing loud
and OminOusly, they rushed on to the
bridge.
In spite Of the awful fear that as
sailed her, the girl never for moment
lost her presense of mind. She glanced
before her. Far await looked an
interminable distance-she could see
the end of the bridge. There only was
safety. But was it possible to reach
refuge before the oxen overlook them?
Her eyes fell upon the horse Blazer

manded, tightening her grip upon the

A bound; the horse had answered to
the call. They were off-to safety?
But, no, something was happening that
the girl had not foreseen. Under the
huge weight of the living avalanche
the great suspension bridge was sway
ing heavily. The movement caused the
horse to stumble.
There came mighty roar and the
thunder of many hoofs. The herd was
on them. Pale, but collected, the girl
refined her steed round, and faced the
mad onslaught.
Now, young BULL it's head bent low

1t must be remembered that football
in England is largely professional, az
baseball is in the United States. and
that it is played six or eight months in
the year and not confined to two months
in the autumn. There are intercollegiate
and interschool matches, but the chief
interest in the game centers in the
matches played by the professional
teams. The interest felt in the game can
be measured by the attention given it by
the newspapers. Every day the an
nouncement Of games to come, and the
reports of games played the previous
day, occupy several columns in the lead
Ing newspapers, and the Saturday games
demand page and a half in Monday
mornings newspapers.
From this it will be seen that football
is much more serious subject in Eng
land than in the United States.

Football is source of trouble in Eng
land as in the United States, but in a
different way. In the United States the
chief complaint against the game is that
it occupies too much of the time of col
lege students, costs too much money, is
dangerous to life and limb, and has a
generally demoralizing effect on under
graduate athletics.
In England it is not the college stu
dents, but the workingmen, who, it is
claimed, are injuriously affected by foot
ball. An article touching on this SUBJ
ject recently appeared in an English
magazine, and the view taken of the
question may be of interest to the Amer
lean public. 1t appeared in Macmillan's

There is hidden among the mountains
of Kentucky, Tennessee and the Caro-

southern mountaineer is not only pecul-

lean. Nearly all mountaineers are
singers. Their unframed voices are of
good timbre, the women's being sweet

of pitch and tone and harmony remark

them, like the minstrel of feudal days.
