Lady Curzon as a Detective.

Lady CurZon, who was Miss Letter.
of Chicago, Is a clever detective. and
this incident could be made into an
absorbing story by either Conan Doyle
OF Rudyard Kipling.
A retired Indian Judge tells it. He
was dining at the vice-regal lodge ole
night and the conversation turned up
OH a sensational murder trial which he
was conducting at the time. After
dinner Lady Curzon drew the judge
aside and said:
Il know as an absolute fact that
the man who is charged with that mur.
der Is innocent. Send a detective tc
me and / will direct him to the houss
where the real murderer is now hid
ing. 1 only discovered the fact thi:
afternoon. when l was down there N
disguise with one of our syces."
Sure enough, the murdered wa'
caught. as Lady Curzon had said. and
the innocent man was released. This
Incident becoming known, has made
her very popular with the people OF
Calcutta. who are not used to Eng

Romance of the War.


A romantic story of the war, with
Il very tragic ending has reached Paris
from Russia. says the London corre-
Spondent of the Baltimore sun.
Among the men belonging TO 81
berian regiment stationed ut Port Ar
thur was soldier named Liatnikoff,
who was popular with his comrades,
but was often ''chaffed' about his cf-
Terminate appearance. He had been Sc
lected as servant by a young Off
Ger at whose quarters he lodged. One
unlucky day. while he was on an er-
rand, he fell and broke leg. Liatn!-
koff expressed very strong wish not
TO be taken to the hospital, and as he
was being conveyed thither he took
a penknife out of his pocket and de-
liberately severed an artery in his left
arm. AS the soldier on his arrival
there was undressed to be put to bed
the surgeons, to their amazement. per
ceived that he was not what he had
represented himself TO be. Liatnikof.
in fact, was beautiful girl, barely Is
years of age. Blood poisoning super
vened and the patient had been only
three days in the hospital when all
hope of recovery had to be abandoned.
The young woman sent for the officer
in whose service she had been and i'm
pIored him to marry her, reminding
him that 1t was her devotion to him
which had led her TO pass herself
off as a man in order that she might
follow him 10 the Far East. Ills
brother officers are also said to have
pleaded her cause, but for some unex-
planned reason he would not listen tC
them. AS soon. however as he had
heard Of the death of the poor girl
who had loved him so we'll he returned

Is the first time client ever objected

"You know l defended Gibbons for
arson and put in some tremendous
work for him. He was convicted at
the trial. but we couldn't help it. and
took the case to the Superior Court,
and he lost there. then on to the Su-
preme Court and that affirmed the con-
viction, and he has been given ten
years. Now, my fee only amounted
to 5000, and the scoundrel actually
has the audacity to grumble about it,
saying it's too high. What do you
think of that for impudence:"
Well." said O'Conor, slowly. "of
course You did a lot of work, and 49,
600 is not big fee. but to be frank
with You, Mr.. Conkling. my opinion,
founded on mature consideration, is
that he might have been convicted for
less money!"

Newberry, S. CIV. Fl. Harris,
Chief of Police, Of Newberry, says: Il

kidney complaint There was dull
aching across the small of my back

Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller of Gentle
and Generous Character.
Mrs. John d. Rockefeller was her
husbands schoOlmate-sweetheay
fact as little known as the woman her
self outside her circle of acquaintance
In Cleveland. Mr.. Freese their school
master fifty years ago. has often said
of her that she was the most interest
ing Of his pupils; and when he went
over her compositions with me and
turned the book over TO me with re-
peatod requests to be careful Of it, he
said:
Il remember Celtic Spelman, as they
all called her, best OF all. Celestia
Spelman was her correct name. She
was JOhnny's' schoolmate, his sweet
heart of boyhood days, and is now his
wife. While the presents Johnny has
made me have brought many pleas
ant thought, the knowledge of the
grand spirit of Mrs. Rockefeller is
deeper to me than you can know. In
her school girl days she displayed the
generous, loving natur. that has char
acterized her in later years. She has
secretly helped many poor classmate
whose clothes We're not as gOOG as her
own i'm order that the difference in
their dress might not prove an ObSta-
Gle to a continuation of their friend
ship. Since her husband has become
the richest man in the country she has
told me of her struggle between in
clina ton and lack of opportunity to
pay attention to the old friends of her
girlhOod days. Riches and social pres
tige have not changed her. fol. .hers is a
nature that environment could never
change, and she is as thoughtful of 9th
ers and Graves the friendship Of friends
of old days as much as she did when
she was a pupil in my little school,
years and years ago. To me she is the
same Celtic Spelman l have ever
known"
The early writings of Celestia Spell
man show their beauty of character,
which has manifested itself in charita-
BILE work in latter years. Two Of her
compositions of girlhood days are in
her old schoolmaster's treasured book.
The first-sO sacred subject that she
left it without title-iS an early in
sight into the noble qualities of the
girl. 1t is penciled token Of the love
she felt for her mother. The other
reveals her love for nature and her
powers, even then, of depicting nature

The Fablo of Four Men.

Il got off street car this morning"
said doctor to me, "and, being in no
huffy, began moralizing on the ac-
tions and probable character Of three
men who had alighted just ahead Of
me- The first one was even then half
way down the block and was going on
with such rapid strides that he had
already put couple of hundred yards
between himself and the next man.
There thought l, goes a hustler-a
man who's bound to succeed in life.'
Fhe second man was walking rather
slower, and impressed me as one who
would do fairly well, perhaps, in this
world. But the last fellow was just
dawdling along in the most shiftless
sort of way. 1 very quickly set him
down for a loafer.

to me. All three were ahead of me-"

Steamboat Inspection Scandal.


The awful disaster TO the excursion
steamboat SlOcum has brought the ad-
miniStrati0n face to face with another
scandal The evidence before the cor
Oner's inquest and the official investi-
CATION, as far as it has proceeded,
shows incompetence and laxity, if not
venality on the part of the inspection
service. The worst feature of the ter
ribie exposure is that President ROose-
Welt has allowed the corrupt Republi-
can machine of New York TO dictate
the Federal appointments. which i'll
clude the steamboat inspectors. This
is shown by 4 press dispatch from Oys-
Ter Bay. which said:
limited States Senator Thomas C.
Plat. of New York. arrived here to
day and had conference with Presi
dent Roosevelt. The Senator came by
invitation of the President. who de
sired to consult him regarding the out
look of political affairs in general
and New York State in particular
"A few days ago the President had
an extended conference with Governor
Odell, and it was with the idea of oh
tanning the benefit of the views OF
both the New York leaders that he in
| vited Senator Platt 10 visit him to

Regarding his conference with the
President Senator Platt said: L had q

relations between President Roosevelt
and New York leaders shows they still
dictate appointments. which was th'
indirect cause Of the deplorable con
dtion of the Slocum. that led TO th'
sacrifice of hundreds Of innocent WON

Parker and Roosevelt,

There is no doubt that the trend of
political events all tend towards the
success of the Democracy in this cam
paigu. The pivotal State of New York
is settling down into the Democratic
column. Seven of its greatest news
papers are supporting Judge Parker.
which were for Mckinley in the cam
paigns of 1896 and 1890. Amongst
these are the New York Herald. Even
ing Post. Times. World. Stats Zeitung,
Journal of Commerce and Brooklyn
Eagle. What these newspapers say Of
Roosevelt Is even more indicative of
how the great business interests of the
country view political matters. The
comments ELECTED from all quarters.
says the New York Herald, 'show that
Judge Parker's action has won the con-
fidence of the people and that sort of
confidence President Roosevelt has not
inspired.
His Imperialism and his dictatorial
ways. together with his revival Of the
race issue in the South and other rough
people distrust of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt has the support of
his intimate friends and his political
proteges. but conservative people eye
him with distrust. They acknowledge
that he is irreprOachable as an indi
vidual-that he is stanch patriot. a
good husband. a loyal friend. But they
doubt his capacity for self-control, dis
trust his Judgment. and question his
conception of presidential duties.
Like the German Emperor he wish
es to meddle in every detail of the pub
lie service. to control every depart
ment,, to rule every official. TO be both
the law maker and the executive. to be
the source Of power and to apply it.
Between Mr.. ROosevelt's views of
the Presidents duties and the views of
the American people on that subject
there Is very wide difference. He
evidently thinks the President of the
United States is sort of dictator.
While the people rightly regard him
merely as their chief magistrate. a.
the executive head of the adminlstra-
ton. This domineering conception of
his official duties has excited wide
spread resentment among Republicans,
and has led him to make mist: kes that
would have prevented his nomination
If the Republican party had had any
other available candidate"
