Jail Delivery Frustrated.

A plan for a wholesale jail delivery
was frustrated at the jail last We'd
nesday. Receiving word that the
negroes had secured file and were
cutting their way to freedom, Jailer
Entrikin, who had been notified of
the state of affairs by one of the pris-
oners, sent two men in the garret
above the cells and through hole in
the ceiling the negroes could be
plainly seen cutting at the bars with
file. While the filing was going on
some of the other prisoners were
playing fiddle and dancing to drown
the noise made by the file. When
confronted the negroes stoutly de-
MED their intention of attempting to
escape, but search revealed the file,
which was large, new one. They
then admitted their guilt and Andrew
Trice, charged. with murder, said that
they found the file in the Jail. 1t is
thought that Trice's wife smuggled
the implement to him.

William A. Dockery, Jr., 5 years OF
age, yesterday afternoon fell from
the eighth floor of the Vendome Hotel
in Chicago and was crushed to almost
instant death on the sidewalk below.
The father will reach Memphis this
morning with the body of his little
boy. The mother, utterly Frustrated
by the terrible accident, is still at
the Chicago hotel under the care of
physicians and nurses.
The child is the son of VIM. A.
Dockery, planter, who resides at IA
North Bellevue boulevard. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dockery, accompanied by their
three children and nurse, left Mem
phis early in the summer for tour
of Canadian points. They were on
their way home and stopped in Chi

spend the day there. Rooms were
secured at the Vendome.
Yesterday afternoon little William
and his younger brother were play
ing in the room on the eighth floor
of the hotel. The nurse and the
baby, Francis, were in an adjoining
room. The lad finally clambered upon
the window sill to look out upon the
street below. The distance from the

ground made him dizzy, he lost his
hold and fell headlong to the pave

does not try to conceal. Her eyes are
gray and clear. Her voice is contralto,

being free from the stereotyped smile,
yet her natural smile is engaging and
her laugh joyous. She hates sham as
much as does her husband and yet be-

children and home as close seconds
She believes that women should vote
but not hold Office. She favors wo-

far, and only SO far, as these do not in

" VI yHEN rutherford Il. Hayes was
NTA/ president of the United States
Wv there visited him at the White
House Miss Helen Heron,
the young daughter of his Cincinnati
law partner. To Miss Helen the presi-
dent and Mrs Hayes. were ''Uncle
Rutherford" and "Aunt Lucy" Frank
ly the schoolgirl was fascinated with
the White House and in the years that
followed frequently referred to this in
itial visit as one of the great events of
her life. Whatever others may think
of the home of the presidents, in her
eyes it was fairyland, the goal Of all
possible ambitions
ssUncle Rutherford she said one
evening, II am going to marry man
who will be president"
II hope you may" was the smiling
reply, "and be sure you marry an Ohio
man."
She did both, for the Helen Heron
of that day is now Mrs William How
ard Taft.

and Spanish easily and knows other
languages. Music, however, is her pas
sion. She is graduate Of a music
school, was at one time teacher and
was for thirteen years president of the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra asso-
citation. The Ohio city has long been
famous as one of the chief music cen
tiers of the country, the May festivals
having been celebrated far and wide.
The association of which Mrs. Taft
was the head had much to do with Civ
ing Cincinnati her prominent place in
the music world and with making the
May festivals successes. The wife of
the next president has two handsome
souvenirs, one a present from the mu-
sicians, the other from the association
itself The last named gift is a CEN
terpiece for her dining table, which has
appeared in Manila, in Washington and
will doubtless grace the table of the
White House. On it are engraved the
opening strains that were played at
the beginning of all the Cincinnati
Symphony concerts.
Feature Of Her Ideals.
Right here should be mentioned a
feature of Mrs. Taft's ideals and aspira-
tons that may be productive of great
! good in the future of this country. She
believes with many of the rest of us
! that one of the chief needs of America
! at this time is the development of the
aesthetic and artistic taste of the peo-
| pie. Politically and industrially we
are in the forefront Of the world We
should hold the same station in poetry
and painting, music and all the arts

see the prophecy come true. This was
Miss Mary Todd, afterWard Mrs. Abra-
ham Lincoln, who, although treated
somewhat slightingly by the biogra-
piers, yet had much to do with plac-
ing the greatest of the presidents in the
White House.
Mrs. Taft has had an equal part in
the advancement of her husband. 1t
is an open secret that when he was
offered place on the supreme bench
Taft was sorely tempted to accept, that
having been his life ambition. It was
Mrs. Taft who said no; that there was
a greater Office awaiting him. How
much did the dream of the girl have to
do with working out the fate of the
woman?
Often at the White House.
Later when Benjamin Harrison was
president and Mr.. Taft solicitor general
Mrs Taft was again much in the White
House, for the first Mrs Harrison had
been blood relative, which the
Hayeses were not, the uncle and
.'aunt" having been but friendship
titles.
Again during the administration OF
Theodore Roosevelt the coming "hrst
lady of the land" was often at the eX-
ecutive mansion as not only the wife Of
one of the chief cabinet ministers, but
as the close friend Of Mrs. Roosevelt.
Thus the wife Of the new president
comes to the goal of her dreams not
without training and not without ia
miliarity with the honors and duties
| that await her.
What manner of woman is she? Il

Comrade of Her Children.

With each Of her children Mrs. Taft
is not only the mother, but the COM
rade. This is especially true of her
young son. She is never too busy to
enter into his sports, listen to his
plans and troubles, read to him or
have him read to her and be his play
fellow, confdant and friend.
Mrs Taft dresses richly and tastily
but quietly. She is not much given to
following every whim and novelty Of
fashion. While always appearing well
gowned, she is of the type of woman
whose clothes are not the first thing
noticed about her. It is her face and
carriage which attract attention She
would not be termed a beauty, but has
a distinguished appearance, gracious
ness and a distinctive individuality
that win her popularity with all
that meet her, popularity that grows
with longer acquaintance.

Sweethearts of EARLY Days.

Mr. and Mrs. Taft were childhood
sweethearts, their families living in
close proximity on Walnut hills, Gin
cinnati. They were married as soon as
Mr.. Taft was out of Yale That was
over twenty years ago. Their path
since that day has been one of steady
advancement without reverses. There
have been few over whom the skies of
fortune have been so propitious Both
the children Of judges, both receiving
a college education, playmates from
youth and always in accord both in
tastes and ambitions, they have met
no defeats and but few hardships
Seemingly there is but one point of
divergence between the two-that Of
religious belief. Mr. Taft is a Unita-
rian, while his wife is a devout Epis-
copalian. On this point they simply
agree to disagree, each claiming and
granting complete liberty of opinion.
In the Taft home are many gifts and
priceless relics which have come from
all about the earth. One is a present
from the mikado another from the
Philippines, others from Cuba or Pan
anna, Russia or their own native city
of Cincinnati. They are suggestive Of
the globe trotting done by the man
who will be the most travelled Of our
presidents
In all this journeying to and fro over
the earth the future first lady of the
land has had her part She has con
yersed with statesmen and rulers in all
parts of the world, sometimes in their
own tongue.
This has given her a cosmopolitan
breadth of view, and yet she believes
with Tennyson that
He is the best cosmopolite
Who loves his native country best.

high that his balloon disappeared in
