The LongzcOrthS' Quiet Disturbed
by Brass Band at 2 A. VI.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington. Feb 1S.-The peace and quiet
and Mrs. Longworth at Friendship were rudely
broken into about o'clock this morning by a
merry band Of serenadeTs. After midnight the
chilling winter breezes drove the policemen
duty at the gates TO seek shelter and warm
themselves in the stables in the of the villa
leaving a free and open passage for any one
wishing to gain admittance. The house was
wrapped in a mantle of darkness. and the quiet
was most profound.
Then there was chugging of motors. and
seven large touring drove through the
protected gateway and up to the villa. A young
man in the foremost machine marshalled his
forces in battle array, and, all being In readi-
ness. the word given and the stiffness was
pierced by the loud and prolonged clash and
bang of a brass band. With utter disregard for
all technique or harmony the players rendered a
number of we'll known serenades.
The evident wish of the serenaders was to
make much noise as possible. without regard
TO the effect it might have delicate nerves. The
serenade was not far advanced. when windows
were thrown up. and out OF the darkness the
unmistakable voice of the Ohio Representative
asked in a very sarcastic tone If the music might
not be delayed until later in the day, when it
would be better appreciated. The only answer
was louder blast Of Yankee Doodle Boy"
The window was slammed down with a crash
Not only were the occupants of the house
aroused. but the slumbering policemen In the
warm stables were brought to their feet with
start, and after listening to the unearthly din
for q few moments rushed to the front lawn,
nightsticks and other weapons in hand. and
prepared to repeI the invaders Of the peace and
quiet of the newly married couple.
The musicians were ordered to. leave the lawn
Immediately under penalty of spending the rest
of the night in the nearest police station. This
had the effect OF making the leader and couple
of his lieutenants hold council of war. when
they evidently decided to depart. Before the
little band of musicians could make their es-
cape. however. the leader. who gave all the
orders and evidently the prime mover of
the whole affair. identified
Mr.. Longworth and his bride spent Sunday at
Friendship and received no guests. Much OF
the time was spent in the library. and this af-
ternoon the couple took long walk about the
extensive estate.
Throughout to-day the road past the place
was crowded with vehicles and pedestrians. but
mounted policemen kept the crowd away from
the entrance, and the big gates were kept closed.
The LOngworths are not expected TO remain
at Friendship after tomorrow and no one
would be surprised should they return directly
to their town house. which is ready to receive
them.
Mrs. Longworth. the bridegroom's mother.
and her daughter the Countess de Chambrun
started for Cincinnati to-day to remain for
nearly two weeks. leaving only the servants in
charge of the house in 1Sth-st.

IBy Telegraph to The Tribunel
Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. 1S.-A battle in which
several were killed and wounded on both sides
occurred yesterday in the Sierra NIadre Noun
tains of Mexico, near Tomas, Chihuahua, be-
tween an escort of eight men guarding bullion
train from the Dolores mines, and the outlaw,
Juan Colorado John RedheadD and his band.
The outlaws made their attack about thirty
miles from Tomas. The train was in charge Of
William Smith and seven Mexican guards. who
killed three of Colorado's men and wounded the
bandit chief himself, causing him to order re-
treat.
Smith received a death wound during the
fight, and two of his men were also killed. The
battle was reported to the Mexican authorities
and troops were sent to intercept Colorado and
his gang before they could reach the depths of
the mountains, where their stronghold is To-
Gated.
Colorado has been idle for several months, and
1t was believed that he had been killed or left
Mexico. He has committed many outrages, and
a large reward was offered several years ago
for his death capture.

Who is the most helpless crea-
ture in the living world? A creep
ing insect, blind worm, q hedg-
/ ling bird, minnow il the stream?
None of these; the insect, however
tiny, knows his little paths to safe
ty; the worm understands where
to seek the shelter of the earth; the
little fish is able to capture his
food and to escape his foes; the
young bird must preen its wing for
flight soon after it breaks through
the shell. Little cubs and kittens
become strong, active, selfdepend-
able within few weeks after their
appearance in the world. The high
est form of life is the slowest to
ripen and strenghten-the most
helples creature on earth is hui
man baby.
The little hands are stretched
out for help; the little mouth opens
piteous1y in cries for help, and
help is at hand in the loving care
of father and mother. The wailing
infant is comforted; is IS guarded
against heat and cold, hunger and
thirst. Love surrounds it and en-
velopes it else would it perish mis-
erablv. Elk.

WHILE THE HERALD thinks the
following from the Corpus Christi
Caller is somewhat overdrawn,
there is, nevertheless, too much
truth in it. The Caller says:
Time was when the slayer of his
fellow man fed from justice. The
first murderer history records fled
to the land of Nod" It is not so
in Texas to-day. So confident is
he of a verdict of justihable
homicide, that the most red
handed assassin, after firing a
parting shot into the quivering
body OF his victim coolly rides to
the county seat and puts himself
IN the custody of the sheriff. If
that official puts him behind the
bars it is wholly unnecessary. for
why should he attempt to escape?
What has he to fear? Plant judges
accept his plea of self-defense-his
story that the unarmed victim
started to run and he thought he
was going after a gun, is taken
against the ante-inortem statement
of dying man. Admiring friends
sign his bond and then begins the
interminable process of wearing it
out in the courts. Term after term
honest men are called by hundreds
on special venireS, to pile up a
mountain of expense, continuance
after continuance is had till the
time is ripe for a verdict of ac-
quittal. If perchance. a short
penitentiary sentence is assessed
for a crime richly meriting the
gallows, the high courts reverse it
and send the case hack to go over
the dreary, daunable farce again
to result in 'justifble homicide.
When will the law-abidiug citizens
of Texas assert their power and
say that this foul insult to- the laws
of God aud man shall ceasea
