Reception for the First Woman.
An incident which Stewart was fond of
relating afterward was made use of by
Mark Twain. While he and several other
companions were mining at Washoe, an
agitated member of the party came run
ming in one day with the startling in
formation that he had seen a petticoat
flutter from within a passing emigrant
wagon. Not a man jack of them had seen
a woman in three years and the Informal
tion Immediately created a great commo
ton. Picks and shovels were dropped
forthwith and the whole bunch went sky
hooting across country after the wagon,
giving vent to whoops of joy. The wagon
was found drawn. up at camp, but the
owner somewhat belligerently denied that
he had any woman with him. None was
In sight, and the emigrant looked too crusty
to stand for any poking around. So the
party withdrew much cast down.
But the more they talked about it, the
more they felt they must see that woman.
The original informan. was positive about
her, so after ways and means were dis
cussed, it was decided to present a purse
to the emigrant and his wife If only she
could be induced 10 show herself. All
hands enthusiastically Clipped in till a
fund Of 5000 in gold dust was raised.
Back they went TO the wagon and stated
their urgent desire TO see the emIgrant's
wife. The husband dropped his hostile
manner when the spokesman held out his

SACRED FISH OF THE BAHAMAS
A Hummer for Speed, with Crashing
Jaws and a Whiplike
Tail.

Among the many strange inhabitants OF
the great deep one Of the most peculiar and
Interesting is the w~hipporee, or whipray.
This curious fish probably takes It's name
from its slender. whiplike tail, which is six
feet long and but a quarter OF an inch in
diameter It's entire length. The exact func-
ton of this tail is not known 1t is I'M
armed, though the body is provided with
-four formidable dsggers OF from four to
six inches in length.
Another fish. somewhat like the whip
poree, called the stingaree, has a similar
tail, which is provided with two fangs,
and it protects itself by switching the tail
through the water with extreme rapidity
and it is a very dangerous weapon.
The body of the whipporee is drab, with
beautiful colored markings. The head is
shaped like that Of an immens bird. The
roof OF the mouth and tongue are covered
with bone half an inch In thickness and
serve 10 crush crabs and other shellfish,
upon which the animal subsists. The fins,
or wings. are very powerful and IL is a
swift swimmer. easily %distancing its nat
ural enemies. the sharks. II is claimed
that the w%hipporee is strong enough to tow
a three-masted schooner. This may OF may
not be true. One off Key West was har-
pooneG near shore and struck out for deep
water. towing an eighteen-foot naphtha
launch three miles out to sea before IL was
tired enough to come to the surface and
allow itself TO be shot. II weighed 400
pounds and measured six feet from tip
to tip of its fins.
1t is very difficult to catch the whip
poree owing to its great speed. and, as It's
mouth easily brushes a fish hook, the har-
3Oon is the only efficient weapon. II feeds
mostly in shallow water and draws crabs
and other small shellhsh from their hiding
places in the rocks by suction. the water

rear Of the wagon. Stewart advanced and
presented the bag of dust with a profound
bow. The woman took it. thanked the
party a~wkwardly and scooted for the
wagon again. The assembled party then
threw up their hats and gave three cheers,
hanke the emigrant for his kindness and
departed for their camp again, much up
lifted and comforted by the first sight OF
a woman in three long years.
Features of His Public Life.
In his "Reminiscences" Senator Stewart
told the story of his life in the first per-
son. But for the fact that they are amply
corroborated by the testimony of friends
some Of the incidents Of his early frontier
life would seem almost unbelievable. He
was a giant of a man. Tall, well formed,
with muscles like iron. and supple. quick
moving limbs, he was in every way fitted
to hold his own in the rough fellowship
that dominated California and the other
border states before the war and after
ward. To the day of his last illness, he
kept his height and erectness, and his tan
gled thatch Of beard.
While acting as district attorney in 1854
he moved to San Francisco and formed q
law partnership with HenrysS S. Foote, who
had been a senator and governor of Mis-
sissippi. A year later Stewart married
Governor Foote'S daughter. Afterward
when the famous Comstock lode was dis
covered in what was then Utah, the young
lawyer went TO look 1t over. and became
involved in the Indian fighting, which wal
waged furiously over that portion Of the
far west. When western Utah was organ

the new local government.

1t was in the following year. 1851, thai
he saw his fortune of $4,000 swept away
in a night by a flood that carried away his
mines machinery. Nothing daunted. he
tramped over the mountains, 300 miles, e
San Francisco, where on his good name h'
succeeded in borrowing $4,000.
In 1864 came Stewards election to the
United States senate. Nevada having beer

riding his law circuit he entered a mining
camp In which there was an ominous stir
and hustle. As he dismounted at his stop
ping place he saw a distant group whose
gestures and attitudes could indicate only
one thing-somebody was about to be
strung up. In front of a shack that served
for a hotel, Stewart came across a small,
wiry man, whom he afterward learned was
a Texas desperate named Jack Watson.
The little man wore a look of disgust on
his face and Stewart asked him what the
trouble was about. The reply was to the
effect that a man was about to be hanged,
a stranger, an Englishman, who had come
into camp the night before. Some money
had been stolen, and the Englishman being
convenient, 1t had been decided TO hans
him for it. The Texan added that in his
opinion the man was not guilty. Stewart
theTeupon remarked that if there was any
doubt ABOUT his guilt somebody ought to
interfere.
The Texan looked up at Stewart keenly,
grasped the hilt of his "gun" and ex-
claimed: "Dast your"
Stewart calmly replied that he "dast,'
whereupon the little Texan grasped his
arm and said; Come on" They pushed
their way into the crowd, where the moose
was already being prepared. Here, boys,
said Stewart, 'before yeu go any further
let's go into this case a little bit. You
might just as well be sure about it, you
know"
There was some demur, but Stewart was
well known to many In the crowd and
they were ready to listen. Stewart sol

for the defense. One of the first questions
he asked was whether all Of those who
had slept in the hotel the night before were
still around the camp. Several witnesses
admitted that one man had left camp on 4
mule early that morning.

ISOLATED with some of the most famous
%litigations OF the west. He had a share In
the Chollar and Potosi controversy, among
the best known that gathered aroun the
,Comstock lode, end many another. But,
after all. his legal anne rested most
securely upon the mining laws which he
framed and which stand today practically
unchanged, an eternal monument TO his
keen intellect and broad knowledge of the
field.
Senator Stewart was a close friend OF
Senator Zach Chandler of Michigan. and he
was one of those TO whom Chandler pro-
posed his scheme for the invasion of Can
ada in revenge for Great Britain's assist
ance rendered TO the south in the civil war.
According 10 Mr.. Stewart, thirty senator's
were pledged to help in carrying out the
plan to throw an army Of 10000 veterans
across the border. but the assassination OF
President Lincoln prevented the realization
Of the idea.
Last Letter from Lincoln.

Senator Stewart was said to nave been the
man who received the last written word OF
the war president before he was shot. He
wanted TO introduce a friend to the presi-
dent IN the evening of the day he went to
Ford's theater. An usher brought out a
card from the president on which was
written:
II am engaged to go TO the theater with
Mrs. Lincoln. 1t is the kind Of an engage
ment / never break. Come with your friend
tomorrow at 10. and ! shall be glad TO SET
you. A. LINCOLN"
AS Senator Stewart was walking out OF
the White House entrance. President Lin.
coin was helping Mrs. Lincoln into a car
riage. He turned TO the senator from Ne
vada and extended his hand cordially. II
was the last time they met. Later thai
evening, MIR. Stewart received word OF the
attack on Seward. and with several othei
senators rushed to the secretary's house

they started for the White House. On the

and fame freely in his writings, and it is
even said that the humorist wrote a great
part of "Roughing II" in Senator Stew
arts room at Washington. where Twain

Old COmstOck Days.
Mark, in telling of the old Comstock
Lode days. relates how mining stock was
given away by friends at casual meetings,
in the same way that a man with a bag
of apples on meeting a friend would hold
them out and say 'have some.'"
Very often,' said Twain, lit was a
good idea to close the transaction in
stantly when a man offered a stock pres
ent to a friend. for the offer was only
good and binding at that moment, and If
the price went to high figure shortly aft
erward the proc~rastination was a thing to
be regretted. Mr.. Stewart-senator, now
from Nevada-one day told me how he
would give me 20 feet of 'Justus' stock If
1 would walk over ITO his office. 1t was
worth s. or 80 a foot. l asked him to
make the offer good for the next day. as

and afterward to $3.50, but nothing could
make the man yield. l suppose he sold
that stock Of mine and placed the guilty
proceeds in his own pocket"
The old senator once said that though
he had spent twenty years among the
mining camps where only might was
right. where d~esperadoes stalked around
fairly itching for a fight and men killed
each other for the most trivial offenses
and imaginary insults, he never had a
personal encounter the whole time. His in
