STRANGE SEA. STORY.

made their way ashore to the island

and clothing as they could. When

and the crew gave devout thanks fol

During the night that the captain
and crew abandoned the supposed
sinking craft the vessel gradually
worked her way Off the reef. She had
not been damaged to any serious ex.

rising tide came up and the wind

withstanding his great atilicGion, for
those who gently administered to him.
He had hopes Of ultimate recovery
from his trouble until he was ac-
quainted some months ago with its
true character and told of Its serious
nature, but with truly Christian res
ignatiOn he determined to meet the
end as calmly as his rapidly wasting

FX-BANDIT JAMES
Quits the Democratic Party and
Joins the Republicans.

Joins the Republicans,
Frank James, ex Confederate, ex-
bandit and lifelong Democrat, says
the New York World, at Indepen.
dence, Mo-, in his address to the sur
yiving members of Quantrell's band OF
brush fighters, exploded political
bomb which all but disrupted the
meeting. Not only did the bandit
renonuce allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party, but to his own native
state as well, which was considered
by the war-scarred veterans as little
less than treason.
Had not some of his friends forcibly
pushed him from the crowd, the court
house yard in the Independence might
have been the scene OF a conflict re-
calling border days.
1t has been known among his
friends that since the Missouri legisla-
ture four years ago refused to elect
James door keeper of the lower house
he has been sore over the defeat.
Holding his hands above his heai
Wednesday, he shouted to the Old
time Quantrell fellowers:
have been In Ohio, Pennsylvania
and other states we had learned to
hate because they gave birth to the
Federal troops we hated so we'll, and
their people have treated me like a
man. But here In Missouri, among
my own people am unhonored.
Then why should | not turn tC
the belief Of the people who have in
my declining years proved my friends.
l am an eX-Confederate and an ex.
guerilla, boys, but 1 am no longer q
Democrat. This year 1 vote the
straight Republican ticket from
Roosevelt down the line, the same as
the people will vote it who have been
my friends in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
other states"
So deep was the wound that James
inflicted on the veterans that when
the old followers OF Quantrell held
their annaul election or officers later,
they refused to honor the eX-handit
with the title OF captain.

DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT.
Hoke Smith Declares That Park er's
Chances Improve Daily.

Hokc Smith Declares That Park er's
Chances Improve Daily.
The Atlanta Journal says Hoke
Smith, former secretary OF the In
terror, has just returned from trip
to the east. Mr.. Smith spoke In the
borough OF Queens In answer to a
speech OF Secretary Shaw, made q
short time before. The New York
papers were enthusiastic over Mr..
Smiths presentation of the Demo-
cratic idea, and such leading papers
as the Brooklyn Eagle, New York
World, New York Times and others
editorially approved his speech. Mr..
Smith visited Judge Parker, whom be
has long known intimately, and says
that the judge Is in the best of health
and spirits and feels confident that
The people OF the country cannot fail
to endorse the sensible, clear, and
constitutional platform set forth by
the Democracy.
MIR. Smith Is very jubilant over
Democratic prospects, and among the
encouraging things he says:
Judge Parker is receiving loads Of
letters every day from Republicans
voluntarily proiferlng their support.
They say that they desire to leturn
to a government Of the fathers, a
government administered in accor-
dance with the law OF the land and
the constitution"
Speaking OF New Jersey Mr.. Smith
says that the Democratic managers
are confident Of their ability to carry
it for Parker and Davis.
MIR. Smith talked with Chairman
Taggart and is certain OF Mr.. Tag
gart's ability to carry Indiana. Mr..
Taggart says if he don't carry Indiana
he will quit politics forever. MIR.
Smith feels more confident about the
result than he has since 1892, and
says.
If we don't win this time am
the worse fooled man in the world.
The conditions are very similar to
those OF 1892, and all the regular
Democrats OF the country as well as
the independents are against Roose-
welt. The independent press is unani-
nous for Parker; the independent vot-
ers are all for Parker; the happily re-
united Democracy is unit for Par
ker; Tammany Is enthusiastic for
Parker; and l cannot see for him q
possible defeat"

A LETTER pnn1r nusy!g7
How He Would Have Settled the

American Slave question.
1t is sometimes interesting to hark
back few decades and bring back
some Of the forgotten episodes of the
great War Between the States. The
recently published letters Of John
Ruskin, the great English writer and
tritic, reveal some Of his ideas about
the gigantic struggle that was going
on this side the water. The letters
were written to Charles Elliott Norton
of Boston ana the following is good
samples:
"The miserablest idiocy OF the
whole has been your mixing up q FIGHT
for dominion Che most insolent and
tryannical, and the worse conducted.
in all history with sol distant fight
for liberty. II you want the slaves to
be free, let their masters go free first,
In Gods name. If they don't like to
be governed by you, let them govern
themselves. Then, treating them as
stranger State, IL you like to say,
You shall let that blacl, fellow 20 or
etc, as brave boy would fight
another for fag at Eton-do so; but
you know perfectly well no fight could
be got up on those terms; and that
this fight Is partly, for money, partly
las those wretcled Irish whom YOU
have inveighed into it show for wild
anarchy and the devils cause and
crown everywhere. AS for your pre-.
cious proclamation (emancipat!on)-
a gift Of that which is not to be
given
l'y all the assembled powers OF earth
and heaven
IF l had 1t there's q fine north
wind blowing, and would give it to
the fist boy l met to fly it at his
kites TAIL"
This was written in 1868, and while
the issues OF that day are now almost
ancient hist ory 1t Is interesting to
southern people tn recall how one OF
the most eminnet English scholars and
thinkers regarded the position taken
by the north, and what he thought OF
the proclamation OF emancipation.
There were many great men in Eng
land who thought as Rusk In did,
though they did not at all times ex.
press themselves in such plain lang.

BOGUS MONEY ORDERS.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany Defaultcd by an Employee.


j. Il. Laney, alias A. p. Standish,
formerly receiving clerk Of the West
ern Union Telegraph company at Dal-
las, Texas, was arrested at Atlanta
on Wednesday on telegram from the
company In Dallas. The telegram
specified no charges, but Laney, who
is under twenty years of age, admit
ted to the officers that he and con-
federate whose name he gave as
Black, alias Edmund Seaborn, had
stolen $l,l00 on bogus telegroms.
According to Laneys story his father
Is now chief operator OF the Western
Union company in Dallas. He ad-
mitted that as receiving clerk he sent
bogus kilograms for money to con-
rederate who travelled from city to
city Laney YVES forced to leave Dal-
las about month ago, since which
time he and his confederate have
travelled extensively over the country,
visiting ST. Louis, Kansas City and
Baltimore, where they separated,
Laney coming then to Atlanta. From
here he sent telegram to young
woman In Dallas, which led to his ar
rest.
A dispatch from Dallas, Texas,
says: An ahidavit filed here by G.
M. Baker, local manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph company on Au.
gust IL, alleges that during the prevl-
GUS week j. II. Laney clerk, by CO.
operation with f. S. Black, conspired
to swindle the company and did Sc
cure from the company the sums of
$500, $500 and $400, aggregatin 81
100, and that all trace Of the offend
ers was lost. The scheme was this
a young man entered the Office at
Memphis and asked for $500 tele-
graphed from Dallas for him. He
was told that no such amount had
been received, but telegram to Dal-
las confirmed the deposit here OF the
amount and the sum was delivered.
at st. Louis $500 was secured In the
same way and at Chicago the same
plan worked. AT this end, when the
query was received Laney, it is al.
legged, would inform the operators
that the amount had been deposited.
He made no record or entry on the
books.
Wednesday telegram from Laney
was received here for young woman.
Her reply was sent and instructions
given that detectives accompany the
messenger boy. Laney formerly lived
IN Augusta and was widely known.
