Bernard dog which was deeply at

by furious barking. and it was soon
discovered that the stables were Oh

released one of the frantic horses and
led it out. He then found that it was
impossible to return for the other, ow-
ing to the violence of the flames. At
that moment he was astonished to see
his dog appear leading the horse, the
end of the halter rope dangling be-
tween his teeth.
Investigation showed that the st
Bernard had actually bitten the rope
through in order to save one Of Its
friends from 50 horrible death"

uswRlTTEn PACE OF HISTORY.
incident Said TO Have Caused clay's
Defeat for Presidency.

An uDwritten page in the history of
American politics came to light at the
city hall in Minneapolis when Mary
Hunter, colored, a5 years old and a
former slave, gave her version Of the
failure of Henry Clay to be elected to
the presidency Of the United States in
1882.
She witnessed the famous banquet
given by the state Of North Carolina
to Mr.. Clay at Asheville. Hundreds Of
tables were spread under the trees.
and no greater enthusiasm was ever
evoked by political event than was
displayed there. Nearly all the prom
inent men OF the south were there,
and the name of Henry Clay was on
every tongue.
His election seemed assured until
a cloud of scandal crossed the hori-
zon. Clay, she said, fell in love with
beautiful octoroon, who had been
freed by her master in North Carolina.
The secret was exposed few deys
after the banquet, and for many weeks
the magnificent girl was the object Of
"My mother knew the girl we'll,
said Mary Hunter, land the talk start
ed caused her to disappear. No one
ever heard of her after that"
In order to save the social standing
of those who attended the great feast
the matter was not spread broadcast
but leading politicians of both the
south and north were asked to pre-
vent Henry Clay from ever occupying
the presidential chair.
How their work succeeded is a mat
ter of history in North Carolina. blu
| when Clay was defeated the subjec
was dropped and no one cared II
probe 1t further.
Mary Hunter went to Minneapoll
when the Sixth and Seventh MiDnesc
ia regiments returned at the close o
the civil war. She has worked nearl
every day since she was seven year
old and still earns her living by har
day work. A short time ago she ir

ZEPPELIN TO HAVE
A NEW AIRShIP

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN Lake Of Con-
stance, Aug. 6.-Simultaneously with the
news Of the disaster at Ecterdingen. where
Count Won zeppelin's dirigible balloon was
destroyed during a storm, came orders
yesterday to begin at once the construc-
ton of a new airship
The Ministers of all the Federal States
have telegraphed condolences to Count
Zeppelin on the loss of his airship. ex-
pressing the hope that the disaster will
only spur him TO further efforts
Doctor Won Bethmann- -Hollweg, Imperial
Secretary Of State for the Interior, has de-
cided to forward to Count Zeppelin s125. .OCO
as a reward for the Counts many years
of sacrifice in the interest of the father
land. DR.. Theodore Lewald. Privy Coun-
cillor, is carrying a check for this amount
TO Friedrichshafen.
DR.. Lewald received from Zeppelin a
despatch explaining the reason for the
two descents of the balloon. 1t says:
"The future of my airship depends
upon the motors. Yesterdays descent
on the Rhine was occasioned by the
fusing of white metal in one of the
grooves of the piston rod, which al
ready had stood the test of several
trips. 1 Travelled to-day from Mann
helm with only one motor"
Subscription lists for funds with
which to provide Zeppelin means for
building a new tSlloon have been
opened throughout Germany and Swift
