Personal Encounter Narrowly AVerted
When Ben Buffers Presence En-
ragged Garrett Davis, the Irrlt-
able kentucky Senator.

One OF the ablest OF the members
of the United States senate for 10 or
IL years after the close of the Civil
war was Garrett Davis Of Kentucky.
He was man Of strong originality.
He was very learned and a profound
lawyer. but he was also irascible, al
though when approached in the right
way he was one OF the most kindly
and considerate of men.
Senator Davis never failed having
hearers, both upon the floor of the
senate and in the galleries. when 1t
was announced that he was to speak.
Sometimes there was suspicion that
some OF those who visited the senate
chamber did SO In the expectation that
Mr.. Davis would yield to irritation
and interject into his formal speech
some very peppery remarks.
1t was one of the senator's peculi-
arities that he never would speak un-
less his surroundings were entirely
congenial. Sometimes a misplaced
chair annoyed him. Frequently he
turned and cast upon the lobby at the
rear of the senate fierce and angry
glances, SO that he might thereby put
an end to conversation that was dis
turbing him
Senator Davis was announced to
make an important speech at the ses-
sion OF congress for the year 1872.
Among those who heard him at that
time was John w. Wilson, then clerk
of the commerce committee of the
senate of which Roscoe Conkling was
the chairman. Mr.. Wilson. as private
secretary of Senator Conkling and
clerk of the latter's committee, met
with many very interesting and some
times dramatic experiences. But the
one which he remembers as vividly
as any relates to the speech in ques-
ton by Senator Davis.
81 had just taken my place in the
reporters gallery OF the senate" said
Mr.. Wilson, ito which had access.
when l saw Ben Butler, then a mem
ber of the house, enter the senate
chamber. He looked around the body
with that peculiar twist of the head
SO characteristic of him, and then,
with his queer little mincing step
went to the Democratic side, took
seat directly behind Senator Davis
and instantly became much interested
in Senator Davis speech. paying him
the courtesy of very close attention.
Suddenly Senator Davis. who was
a little man, turned around as though
to address some of the senators in the
seats behind him, and discovered Ben
Butler sitting almost within arms
reach of him. Butler looked up at
the senator, and there may have been
something in Buffers manner, or pos
sibly some recollection of Buffers
career in the Civil war, which brought

OId-Tlme Apple PIE.

A guest at an old-fashioned home
dinner was eulogizing apple pie and
her hostess when another guest, who
had been a California pioneer. re-
called the apple" pie given the chill
dren of 1852 to appease their homesick
cravings when apples were a dollar a
pound. 1t was made by breaking four
soda crackers into an earthen bowl
and pouring over them a pint of cold
water rendered very tart by citric
acid. When soft the crackers were
laid on a pie plate on the under crust.
over them we're sifted two tablespoon
fuls of light brown sugar and a little
allspice and cinnamon. A pretty per-
forated top crust was added and in
a few minutes a perfect apple pie was
taken from the oven to delight young
and old.

when an orator has gained great
reputation he should stop speaking"
James A. Garfield, himself no mean
orator, once said to friend. And
this is an anecdote of another famous
orator who agreed fully with Garfield.
One of the fighters Of the Union
army who gained distinction for his
bravery was Walter Hartman, colonel
of a New Hampshire regiment. He
was wounded several times, and was
once taken prisoner. He was sent to
Charleston, 8. c., where he found
large company of Union officers.
few days after Colonel Harriman's ar
rival at Charleston 1t became known
that the Union forces had established
a battery with one great gun, called
the Swamp Angel" upon an island
in the harbor about four miles distant
from the city, the Confederate author
ities in Charleston having been in
formed by the Union commander that
1t was his intention to shell the city
This warning was given in order that
non-belligerents, especially the women
and children, could be removed to
place of safety before firing began.
Thereupon the Confederate officers de-
cided to select some fifty federal Off
GERS and place them day and night in
a most exposed position. and the com
manding officer of the Union army
was informed of that purpose.
Among the fifty selected was Colonel
Hartman. The shelling of the city
began, but it caused comparatively lit
tie damage and did no harm to any
Of the Union officers, although Colonel
Hartman afterwards declared his en-
forced exposure to the fire of the great
guns caused far greater apprehension
than any that he had experienced
while in battle. However. none of
Colonel Harriman's fellow officers saw
the slightest Indication of timidity on
his part He was entirely composed,
saying to his companions: This is
one of the chances Of war"
At the close Of the Civil war Colonel
Hartman returned to New Hamp-
shire. He speedily gained great repu-
tation as e political orator. He was

out all OF the latent irritation that
was in Senator Davis. At any rate, he
stopped speaking and glared fiercely
at poor Butler, who evidently did not
know why Davis had become thus
angry. In fact, II looked for a mo-
ment as though Davis, who had lost
control of himself almost completely.
was about to go to Butler and attempt
to eject him from that seat.
Instantly the tension in the senate
was intense. Sull, Butler did not real
trouble but he returned the fierce
glance of Garrett Davis as though
saying: II you can look ugly. SO
can L.
Just as Senator Davis seemed
about to advance upon Butler, one OF
the senators upon the Republican
side, Henry Wilson of Massachusetts,,
stepped hastily to Butler and whis-
pered to him. Then holding Butler gent
ly by the sleeve of his coat, Mr.. VII
son drew him from the Democratic
seat and escorted him to tho Repub-
lican side OF the chamber. AS Butler
was crossing the center of the aisle,
he turned and looked at Davis, who
was almost beside himself with anger.
When Butler was seated in the chair
of one of the Republican senators, he
calmly turned around and looked
again at Senator Davis.
Davis was completely mastered by
his irritation. Still glaring at Ben
Butler, he abruptly terminated his
speech and took his seat Nor did he
seem to be himself again until But

Horace A. w. Tabor's Own Expiana-
tion Of the Story That He Wore
NightshIrts With Frills Of
Finest Lace.

The story Of the beginning OF the
unique and sensational career OF Sen
ator Horace A w. Tabor of Colorado
is one of the most fascinating OF the
romances of American mining devel-
opment. 1t was a familiar story some
80 years ago, but the later excitement
and romances of sudden wealth follow
ing the discovery of gold or silser
have caused 1t to be somewhat OBJ
scured. Tabor was a rough and ready
sort OF fellow who kept a grocery
store and sort of tavern in the vi
cinity of what is now Leadville, Colo.
The prospectors esteemed him not
only as a friend, but as a benefactor.
He never permitted any man to go
away hungry. He always entertained
a miner or prospector, whether he saw
the color of a mans money or not. He
was confident that every man would
pay his score when he had money;
and If he didn't 1t would be because he

but his voice was clear and ringing,
his gestures graceful, and he was in
great demand by Republicans all over
the United States when campaigning
was in progress. His record as a SOL
dier and his prominence as a political
speaker caused him to be unanimous
ly nominated for governor of New
Hampshire and he was elected by a
great plurality in the late sixties
In 1875 there was to be great
meeting of the Grand Army Of the Re
public at Boston. The expectation was
that General Grant would attend, and
Phil" Sheridan had promised to be
there without fail and to march on
foot at the head of his soldiers. The
committee Of arrangements asked Gov
ernor Hartman to deliver the chief
address Of this occasion. He held
that to be about the most distin
guished honor that had come to him.
He said to the committee:
81 appreciate the compliment you
have given me, and l will communi-
cate with you by letter in the course
of a few days"
But when the committee had re-
ceived the letter and read 1t they
found that Governor Hartman had
declined. They were amazed and dis
appointed. But he persisted in hold
ing to 1t.
The great gathering of the Grand
Army took place. Governor Hartman
was present, but did not speak. Said
a friend to him some time later:
Governor, you have a national rep
utation as an orator. The Grand Army
has a high admiration for you. You
had a noble opportunity to speak be-
fore it. Why did you decline it?'
For a very simple reason" replied
Governor Hartman. 81 have learned
by my reading and by my experience
that 1t takes about twenty years to
make reputation, and that the next
twenty years are occupied in maintain
ing it. An orator has peculiar repu-
tation. He is liable to lose it by rea-
son OF the failure of a single speech.

SHOT IN HAND AND ABDOMEN

William A. Watt, a brother of
George Watt, superintendent of the

prominent families of Austin, lies
in San Francisco hospital seri-
ously injured with bullet through
the intestines and another through
his right wrist and hand, as the
result of a fight in the International

The injured man passed through
Reno recently on his way to San
Francisco, and on his arrival at the
bay was met by George Watt, Y no
had him conveyed to the no ,ptal.
The recovery of the I'M red man
depends solely upon the question of
whether infection sets in or not.

The outlook is most promising
for very successful leasing cam

MYSTIC SHOW
DRAWS CROWDS
TO NEVADA

Before an audience that filled
every seat, crowded every aisle and
occupied every inch of standing
room, Alburtus gave an exhibition
of hypnotism last night at the Ne
yada tEeater. 1t was the best thing
in that line that has ever appeared
in Tonopah. To say that he was
the best hardly expresses it. He
actually did things that seemed
supernatural and incredible. He
performed experiment after expert
ment that put the audience in con-
vulsions of laughter and at the
same time amazed.
After Arzullia was awakened
from her long sleep she answered
questions asked by the audience,
showing a knowledge of the init
mate lives of her questicners Dor

the answers e'cited much laugh

There was certainly not a person
person in the house who was not
satisfied that some mysterious pow
er lowered over the strange slip of
a girl seated on a platform where
all could see her plainly as she
