The fact that the jealouseye of

ground as terminal or division head

shops here and has now practically
abandoned all pretense of Offices here,
having made Danville the seat of it's

The Way OF the World.

How soon after the hand of death is
laid upon the mortal does the remem-
brance Of his greatness cease. How
soon is memory's slate wiped of the
records of their greatest deeds when
in poverty he is stricken by the ruth
less hand of the Reaper.
1t has been so since the beginning of
time. Some of the most distinguished
have died IN want, and friends who
had known them in life and drank of
their sweets bowed not their heads in
sorrow or paid respect to their memo
ry even in the sad hour of death.
This is applied to the case of John
&. allisle, one OF Kentucky's greatest
sons, who died recently in New York.
Serving bis State and Nation in vari-
Gus capacities. he built for himself a
name that should live forever, but dy-
ing practically penniless he has been
forgotten. In the city of his nativity,
where in life and wealth he would

five years before. She was then living
with her husband In little town in
northeastern Ohio. This was before
she became the wife of the fudge. Her
first marriage was said to be a runa-

beautiful woman then, but there was
cloud hanging over her life 1 can

their heads and whisper as she passed

son she left the village. / do not know

been granted a divorce
She was now cutting a large figure
in society and often spoken of as the
nandsomest woman In the capitol city.
Her husband, the judge. was up to
this time quite successful in political
life. Possessed of considerable brain
force and much amiability of charac-
ter, he might have risen still higher
had not the intrigues set on foot by
his ambitious wife contributed to pun
him down. She planned schemes to
exa1t him and to acquire wealth In
making these efforts she aroused the
JeaIousies of others and made the
Judge quite unpopular with the leading
politicians Her misdirected zeal not
only crushed the political prospects of
her husband, but finally resulted in ex-
polling her from Washington society.

he was difficult man to approach,
that he did not care for the compan-
ionship of men. This being the case
l was at loss to determine how to
reach him. 1t was necessary to intro
duce a stranger in order to carry out
the plot had in view.
After bordering over the matter for
some days I hit upon an expedient
that 1 believed would dispose of the
young man without public exposure or
resorting to crime There was IN my
employ at this time man whom
shall call Reed. If ever there was a
born confidence man he was the one;
an actor that could assume a part, live

solemn as the graveyard; never vi

leading only those who ought to be

took to a suggestion of this kind like

on>account of the proposed trip. He
no doubt imagined broader field for

Reed now stepped up and accosted the

he said: How do you do, Mr.. Click

Among the spectators at a match

nine years of age. Though the boys

been limited, his notion of correct
play was extremely robust.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental LABOR
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twen-
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart was
nervous and extremely Respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble and constipa-
ton
The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then I became less Respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof of renewed physical and
mental strength
II am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. formerly

on account of coffee, but since using

hotel and crossed over to Jersey City
and took lodging at Taylor's hotel,
where they registered under assumed
names, as they had done previously at

They had left the Merchants hotel

Soon after his entertainers had ia
ken their departure he, possum-hke,
came to life, got up and took a drink
from the brandy bottle that was left
upon the table, and made his way at
once to the government secret service
office, where he told the story Of his
adventure and received further In
structions. This so-called Jones was
detective of marked ability. He could
assume almost any character and de-
ceive the best educated criminal, yet
withal an honest, faithful servant to
the government
At an early hour on the following
morning at Taylor's hotel Reed pre-
tended to be taken suddenly sick with
a cramp in his stomach. He left his
roommate and went below. A short
time afterwards he rushed back into
the bedroom and informed the judges
stepson with a trembling voice that
they must get out of the place In
hurry or they would be arrested Reed
said that while downstairs he had torn
a slip from newspaper. He handed
1t to the judges stepson, who, on
glancing at it hastily, at once sprang
out of bed
1t was a sensational article and bore
the appearance of having been clipped
from a newspaper. AS matter of
fact, however, it had been printed at
the New York Tribune job office. 1t

A Brutal Murder and Robbery.

- 81 olds 0Ct anu fho06CIys
Another of those outrageous and
dastardly murders which have so
recently startled the community
occurred in this city yesterday af-
ternoon, the particulars of which
are as follows: 1t appears that
shortly after dark last evening
well dressed man, apparently
thirty-f1ve years of age, was found
by the police lying near the foot
of CORTLAND street in an insensi-
BILE condition. He was taken to the
police station, where restoratives
were administered, and when he
had revived sufficiently he stated
that his name was P. r. Jones and
that he was from Fort Wayne,
Ind
Mr.. Jones was removed to the city
hospital last evening where he be-
came delirious and died about nine
o'clock The police are on the
track of the murderers, who are
supposed to be from Baltimore or
Washington, as the clerk at the
hotel states that they came in just
after the arrival of the Washing
ton train. The clerk is positive he
can identify them.
A frightful ghost had risen and was
standing in its most horrible form be-
fore the now half-crazed stepson. The
rope of the hangman was looming up
before his eyes. He did not even
take time to wash his face, SO great
was his anxiety to leave New York be-
hind him. Even the very air he
breathed seemed tainted with the foul
odor of his crime. 1t was thought to
be dangerous to travel by rail at first,
and they started away on foot, and
finally concluded to make their way
to New Orleans.
7 REED was, of course, the ruling
spirit and was carrying out the plan
they had agreed upon They doubled
back and forth with the object of put
ting imaginary pursuers of the track
Reed was seeking delay for the pur-
pose of gaining time When the pair
arrived at New Orleans about the first
thing that met their eyes was hand
bill posted in the depot describing the
fugitives and offering a reward for
their arrest and conviction Staring
at the bill with beads of perspiration
starting upon his brow the judges
stepson nearly collapsed. He was
careworn, downhearted and ready to
speed away as swift as steam could
carry him In the course of time the
fugitives arrived at Brownsville, Tex.
From this point received a note from
Reed saying that they intended to
cross the Rio Grande and work their
way to the City of Mexico
To the minds of the detectives who
played their part In this case the
whole affair appeared a farce
After a time Reed returned from
Mexico. He had given his companion
the slip and was quite positive in his
opinion that the judges stepson would
never dare show his face in the Uni
ted States He declared the man was
about the greatest coward he had ever
met with
Reed was correct In his opinion, as
the fugitive, so far as I know, has
never been heard OF. He certainly did
not appear In Washington to further
annoy the Judge and his wife. He may
still be running from Nemesis that
