END OF FAMOUS WRITER'S.
Literary Genuises Who Died Miser-
ably Poor and Destitute.

That Ouida should have died rs she
did in poverty and loneliness, an exile,
though voluntary one. from the
land of her birth was an undoubtedly
pititnl ending to an exceptionally
brilliant career. says Tit Biks. Equally
sad has been the fate reserved for
some literary geniuscS in the past.
For instance, Richard Savage, the
gifted poet. died in debtors prison
at Bristol. after enduring the pangS
of semi-starvation for years. Chat
tertion, driven desperate through hum
ger. poisoned himself at the age Of
eighteen. Swift died mad, as he had
all along predicted he would.
Rr. Dodd. whose "Beauties of
Shakespeare is we'll known, was
hanged for forgery. George Gisslne,
after suffering harlships that cmbit-
tered his whole existence. died lust
as fame was beginning to be assured
to him.
Stow, the famous antiquarian. au-
thor of the "Snrvey Of L"ntl"n.' be-
came in his old age licensed bcggar,
asking aims from door tn door
through thirty-Six counties. -
Wyrhcrlcv. from being the spoiled
idol of society. fell tn the lowest
depths of deStitutinn and was event
ually consigned to the Fleet prison
for debt, where he remained seven
years. Cotton also spent many years
in Il debtors prison and eventually
died there by his own hand.
Robert Burns. writing only four
teen days before his death implorcd
his friend Cunningham to use his in
t1ucncc with the commissioners of
excise in order to gel his salary rails
cd from 25 pounds a year to so pounds
otherwise, if I die not Of disease |
must perish with hungcr.'
Llorente, the learned and talented
historiographcr of the inqusition, was
glad during the close of his brilliant
and unfortunate career to hire him
self out for few sous in night to
keep watch over the dead bodies at
the Paris m0rgue, and died eventually
Of starvation. Camoens begged his
bread from door to door until com
PEELED to take rufuge in an almshousc,
where he died.
1t is told Of Ben johnson that
when in his last illness King Charles
sent him small sum Of money he re-
turned it. "l1e sends me so miserable
a donation,' cried the dying poet,
"bccause 7 am poor and live in an
alley. Go and tell him his soul lives in
an allcy.'
Very sad was the fate Of Ulrch Won
Hutton, one Of the greatest writer's
Germany has ever produced. Unable
I" earn Il living, he was reduced to
tramping through the country, beg
ging food and shelter from the pea
SAINTS. One bitter winters night he
was refused both,. and next morning
was found frozen stiff and cold in the
drifting snow outside the village.
'Thc only thing he died possessed Of
besides the rags he worc,' says his
blographcr, Iuinglills, "wts a pen. -
Saint-SImon, the celebrated French
author. who wrote "Thc Reoi ganiza-
tlon Of European Society," was twice
driven by want TO attempt his own
life, and although ne died Il natural
death in the end it was among the
most lamcntablc surroundings. "F'or

friend just before the end came, 81

FOES TO MEET IN
BIG LOVE FEAST
Watson and Hall of RushviIIe
Will Be rendered a Big
Reception.
ARE STATE CANDIDATES.
WATSON FOR GOVERNOR ON THE
REPUBLICAN TICKET AND HALL
is DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

Rushville. Ind, April 3.-Arrange-
ments have been made for joint re
option to James E. Watson. republi-
an candidate for governor, and Frank
J. Hall, democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor tomorrow night. Ev-
erything has been planned for on an
enormous scale and it is expected that
the greatest crowd that ever thronged
Rushville will be here. The entire
Sixth district is counted upon and
Richmond is expected to send large
delegation. The visitors will be
cared for in three large halls-the op-
era house. assembly room at the court
house. and skating rink Both Wat
son and Hall will visit each place and
make a speech and shake hands. This
is the first time such an honor as hav-
ing candidates on each of the state
tickets for offices of the importance of
governor and lieutenant governor has
fallen 10 a city the size OF RuShVllle,
and the capital OF Rush county expects
to do itself proud.
The affair will be strictly non po-
litical. The right hand of fellowship
will be extended by Messrs. Watson
and Hall to republicans and democrats
alike. Everything is for the sake of
Rushville and the fact that there is
such a thing as a difference of polit-
ical feeling, will be lost sight of in the
effort to pay homage TO the two Rush
vile citizens. The city feels Justly
proud of this honor and intends to
make them feel the respect in which
they are held and also desires to make
the entire district know that this place
is on the political map In big letters
and there TO stay.

FiREMEN QUARANTINEO.
Cannot Leave No. Hose House Unit
Danger Has Passed.

1t is doubtful even if the entire city
was in danger of going up in smoke
that the No. 1 hose company would re
spond to the alarm-that is in the
event the health officers had any OBJ
lection to offer. All of the members
of this company and Fire Chief Ed Mil
Ter, are quarantiued at the hose house
on North Eighth street since the Tn.
derhill fire.
City Health officer. DR. Charles S.
Bond. stated this morning that he had
ordered Chief Miller, Frank Carter. Ed
Strothaus and Carl Wadman to con-
fine themselves in the hose house and
if any person attempted to gain en-
trance to the building, they should Of
fer strenuous objections.
Dr. Bond states that he does not
think that any Of the firemen were di-
rectly exposed to the smallpox case.
but that he decided after the company
had returned from the fire, to take no
chances, so he ordered the quarantine
established. All of the firemen will
be vaccinated and kept in seclusion for
a short time so that Developments can
be watched.
Everett Miller is a member of the
No. / company. but he is not effected
by the quarantine. because yesterday
was his day off duty and he did not

FOR BENEFIT OF LODGES HOME

For the purpose of raising fund to

pleted arrangements for an event
which will meet with the enthusiastic
approval of the amusement loving
public n this city. At great expense
the Elks entertainment committee has
secured the services of two crack
polo teams. one of which includes in
it's lineup all the members of the old

quintette, TO play a series Of five
games at the coliseum for a purse Of
$500.
These games will be played April

in progress the coliseum will be pack

which includes nearly every man,
woman and child. have been piling
away by inches since tAe disbandment
of the Old Western league and the
very thought that they will once again
see the fastest kind of polo that can
be offered will result in storming
of the box office at the coliseum every
evening that the two all-star teams
play here. The two teams the Elks
have secured 10 play here will be

Chief of Terre Haute Detec-
tives Lies Dead as Result
Of FusiIade From Gun of
Convicted Dynamiter.
COURT ATTACHES FOUGHT
FOR PLACES OF SAFETY.
Fully Twenty Shots Were Fired
In Pistol Battle Before Nc
Donald Was Placed in
Custody.

Terre Haute. Ind, April 3.-As soon
as the verdict had been read in the cir
cult court at Is o'clock last evening
finding him guilty of dynamiting a
church and two stores, Henry McDon-
aid opened fire on Prosecuting Attor-
ney James Cooper, who sat 10 feet
away. and after Cooper had dropped
under a table for protection Mcdonald
aimed the third shot at Chief OF De-
tectives William E. Dwyer, killing
him instantly
The convicted man kept firing at
others who were about the table OF the
Prosecuting attorney. one of whom
was James Reece, owner of one of the
stores dynamited. Reece also sought
safety under the table.
Attorney J. T. Walker. for the de-
fense. tried to grapple with his client,
but did not succeed. and only served
TO keep the police and Deputy Sheriffs
from opening fire on Mcdonald
Deputy Sheriff Edward Ellis was the
first TO send d shot at him. and il is
thought that he hit his man. but bull
lets were soon flying about him and
into his body fro mevery side. He
either dropped to the floor for protec-
tion behind the table of the lawyers
for the defense or fell from his
wounds. but he kept up his firing even
when down.
Spectators differ as 10 whether he
had two revOlvers or whether his
brother James. who was at his side
was doing some of the firing. James
is missing and the police are trying to
find him.
Shot With Two Hands.
Judge Crane IS on the bench,
said that Mcdonald handled his weap.
on with two hands, which may have
given the impression that he had TWO
revolvers. Chief of Police Harvey
Jones Policeman Sylvester Doyle and
Deputy Sheriff Ira Wellman also did
some shooting and each Of them got a
bullet, as did a spectator named ]. II
Walker. who had just taken a seat
near the door, but none of the injur.
ed has serious wounds.
Chief Jones was shot in the side
Doyle was struck in the leg and Well

COTTON TUMBLES
 BELOW NINE CENTS
Weather on New Crop Now
 Has Bearish Influence
MARKET HAS POOR SUPPORT
Lower Figures at Liverpool and Un. certainty About the Amount of
 Cotton in the Hands of the Farmers Aid Depression.

New York, April 13-New low records were made in the cotton market today with May contracts selling below cents, the lowest level reached since September, 1906 The market closed with prices only a little up from the lowest, at a net de- cline of 23aS points. although the final tone was steady. Sales were estimated at S5O0o0 bales.
 The market opened easy at decline of to Is points in response to lower cables, continued good weather in the south, re- ports of large supplies in the hands of European spinners, talk of increased acre age and apprehensions regarding the amount of unmarketed cotton in the in- terior of the south. There was no sign or liquidation by the Wall street clique at first, but neither was there any sup port from that source, and the market gradually worked off until heavy stop loss orders were caught under which May broke to S96c; July to 9.02c and October to Sc, or 20 to 30 points net lower and 2S3 points below the high level of last Jan uary. Around these figures, offerings of distress contracts were perceptibly small CT and there was considerable covering, but the market developed little ralying power, and closed within to , points of the low point. Southern spot markets were unchanged to sc lower. Local trad CTS were rather nervous over the spot situation and were inclined to await some indication as to the effect of the break in futures on interior holders.
 Receipts at the ports today S9H bales against 13,546 last week and 13,2l6 last year. For the week 90.000 bales against 99,S9s last week and SS,695 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans. 439o bales against 3325 last year and at Hous- ton 1894 bales, against 29S2 last year.
