Lessons Of Grief.

There are moods in which we court
suffering, in the hope that there, at
least, we shall find reality, strange
peaks and edges of truth. But it
turns out to be scene-painting and
counterfeit. The only thing grief
has taught me is to know how shall
low it is.-Emerson

rs Years Old.
Justice Harlan was IS years old.
Was born in Boyle county, Kentucky,
June 1, 1888. His ancestors on his
fathers side were English Quakers
who came to the United States about
1850, and settled in Chester county,
Pa.
Educated in Kentucky.
Justice Harlan received his eduea-
ton at Center College, Kentucky,
from which he graduated IN 1850, at
the age of seventeen. Then he began
to study law with his father and la
ter at the law school Of TRANSATLANTIC
university, in Lexington, KY. He be-
gan to practice in Frankfort before
he was of age and SO rapid was his
progress that in 1853, at the age of
twenty-five, he occupied the position
of county judge.
Soon Entered Politics.
Mr.. Harlan was soon drawn into
politics in an active way and was
nominated for Congress by the Wings
in the strongly Democratic Ashland
district. He was elected but count
ed out by the Democrats.
When the civil war broke out, Mr..
Harlan decided to join the Union ar
my. He raised the 10th Kentucky
regiment of Infantry and became it's
colonel. With his regiment he was
mustered into the service in Novem-
Der, 1861. Fifteen months later,
while his name was before the senate

eral of volunteers, Mr.. Harlan sent
his resignation to Gen. Garfield, chief
of staff to Gen. Rosecrans, because
his father suddenly had died.

In August, 1868, Mr.. Harlan was
elected attorney general of Kentucky

office four years. At the close of his
term he returned to Louisville and
resumed his practice. In 1871 and
again in 1875 the Republicans of
Kentucky placed him in nomination
for governor but he was defeated.

CHARGES HANG OVER HEAD
Out on Bonds as Result of Charges
Made By Civil and Government
Authorities.

The following from St. Paul will
be read with interest, not only be-
cause it concerns Martin Behan who
has figured so sensationally here, but
because it is the first time it ever
has publicly been said that Behan
was granted immunity for giving ev-
idence against DR.. Dumas. AS a mat
ter of fact, however, Behan is at lib
erty on bonds, charges made by the
civil and federal authorities still
hanging over his head. During his
recent stay here he was re-arrested
by federal authorities.

by federal authorities.
St. Paul, Oct. 13.-Dressed in a
we'll worn suit of clothing, his face
tanned from exposure to the weather,
Martin Behan, captured with the
yeggmen, who blew the safe at Pu-
posky, sat in the Office of Fire Mar
shall Keller this morning and told
how he got in with the gang that
drew him into trouble.
Behan is a farmer, 33 years old,
who drifted away from his home in
Wisconsin some years ago, and like
many who follow the path of least
resistance, ended in a saloon as a
bartender. There he formed asso-
ciates, who turned out to be crooks,
who talked to him of their escapades
and told of their loot.
He Fell for Davis "Stuff."
When time came that Martin was
out of job, with no money, no place
to go, wife depending on him. and
when Mike Davis came to him and
told him how the gang was prepared
to blow the postoffice safe at Pu-
posky, he fell. Deputy marshals and
Pinkerton detectives got him.
Officials Will Help Him to Job.
BY turning states evidence, the
Wisconsin farmer got immunity. He
has acted so "square' with the Off
GERS and appears so sincere in his de-
sire to get back to earning an honest
living that state officers are prepar-
ing to help him.
you can just say for me-" said
Fire Marshal Keller, this morning,
that l believe in Martin Behan and
I'm going to do what I can to get
him a job. Well bank on him."
Behan is reticent when reference is
made to East Grand Forks and his
old life there.
Says Davis Planned Job.
II was just down and out, no job,
no money, nothing to do" he said.
II didn't want to go in on the deal,
but I was up against it so hard l
did"
"WhO told you or came to you
when the Puposky affair was plan
ned?" he was asked.
Davis" he replied. "He was the
leader of the work.
Just what work he can get Behan
does not know. He has left the mat
ter in the hands of Fire Marshal Kel-
Ter and his assistant, Sam Fullerton.
But he will never take bartender s
job again, he says.

John Smith Rice has been the hero OF
two mysterious and apparently ground
less disanpearances. The first occurred
nearly fourteen years ago, at which time
ne was given up for dead before his re-
turn.
on May. 1897, he took the train for
New York from Passaic, where he and
his wife were visiting Reaching the city,
he went TO the office OF his brokers and
drew out $4,000 In currency, explaining
that he wanted TO invest 1t. on May ii
a friend declared that he had seen him
on Fifth avenue. He was seen no more
until the middle OF September, when an
other friend received n letter mailed In
Cincinnati asking him to meet certain
train In Jersey city.
The train was met, and the reward or
81 900 offered for news OF him was thus
saved TO the family.
AT that time Mrs Rice applied 10 tho
Surrogate for letters OF temporary ad-
m,n,stration OF his estate, and the court
granted her application. When the sup
nosed dead man returned the letters

BOY HUNTERS LOST IN FOG
Not Heard from After Leaving
Larchmont in Open Boat.

RAYMOND Collins and William Roth
kranZ put out from Larchmont early
yesterday afternoon i'm twelve foot
open boat. They were going duck shoot
ing, they said. Aboard their craft they
had a pair Of oars and never sign Of
food. When night settled down they
were still out on the treacherous waves.
All the afternoon heavy fog hung
low along the coast, so that sight pene-
trated hardly a boats length ahead.
With the approach of evening T. II. Col
Inns. justice of the peace in Ilarchmont,
and DIR. w. G. Rothkranz. the fathers
of the boys, became fearful lest their

out a general alarm by wireless to all
Sound steamers and stations along the
coast, and chartered a tug from the
Davis Transportation Company, that
put out from Glen Island to join in the
search
Along the nearer shore guns were
fired at intervals by the townspeople,
but up TO a late hour last night no word
had been heard from the missing pair.

JOHN SMITH RICE
DEAD, DETECTIVES SAY

Detectives viewed the body OF a man
who died at st. Francis Hospital. Jersey
City, yesterday afternoon and came
away with the impression it was that of
John Smith Rice, the speculator In

from this city since November %. The
man was found sick i'm the Pennsylvania
Railroad station in Jersey City late on
Sunday afternoon. lie was hurried 10
the hospital i'm an ambulance and died
yesterday from acute Brights disease.
When the patient arrived at the hospi-
tai he told the nurses who attended him
he was James Chivlan, Of No. 124 West
SD street, Manhattan. and he was so
registered OH the books; but two facts
bore out the supposition of the police
that he was the lost financier.
The first was that he told the am
hulance surgeon while on the way to the
institution that his name was John Rice,
and the second that he closely answered
the description sent out by Rice's FAM
ily. according to those who saw him.
He seemed to be about fifty-two years
old. had black hair tinged with gray.
and wore a black overcoat on his tie

time he was taken i'll he wore a gray
striped suit, and carried in his pocket a
lodging house key attached to a zinc tag,
bearing the number 200. There was
nothing to show from which lodging
house that particular key was removed.
Several times after his introduction to
the hospital the patient lapsed into in
coherent mutterings bordering on de-
lirium, but so far as could be learned
they gave no clew to his identity. Early
yesterday morning the coma that pres
aged the end appeared, and shortly be-
fore noon he died The authorities were
notified. and the visit of the detectives
resulted.

INSPECTOR M'CAFFERTY
IN ODD MALADY'S GRASP
One of the Most Picturesque Fig
ures in Police Department
Afflicted by Leuc&mia.
MEN OF MEDICINE PUZZLED
Similar Case Only Recently in
Roosevelt Hospital Failed to
Respond to Famous
Berlin Treatment.

Inspector James McCafferty, one of
the most picturesque figures In the Po-
lice Department, and one OF the few old
timers still in the service, is afflicted
with leucamia, disease which thus far
has baffied the skill of physicians. He
has been on sick leave for more than a
month. but 1t was not until yesterday
that the nature of his illness became
known. II is thought that it may be
months before the inspector is able TO
go back to his post at Sheepshead Bay.
The inspector, who in February was
transferred from Headquarters after al
most three years of service as chief OF
the Detective Bureau 10 his present
place, was taken to st. Luke's Hospital
about a month ago, and remained there
a week or so. He was then transferred
to the Hahnemann Hospital, where a cot
Is maintained by the Police Department
He remained at the last institution only
a few days and then went to his home
No. 929 Park avenue. Since that tins
he has been under the care OF DR.. Mar
tin A. McGovern. who lives at No. 1908
Park avenue and who is in charge Of the
9th surgical precinct of the Police De-
partment.
Or. McGovern said last night that the
inspector was sick man, but would not
go into details about his condition. II
was learned. however. from a medical
authority who ranks high in his profes-
sion that the bluff and hearty McCaf-
ferty is a victim of this strange and in
durable malady.
Ordinarily there are about 5000 leu
cocytes. or white corpuscles. TO every
100000 to 4,0O0OO0 red corpuscles in
the blood. But in leucamia or leucocyth-
emia-it is called by either name-the
white corpuscles far outnumber the red
which also begin to diminish, and In time
the structure OF the blood breaks dowr
and condition similar TO anemla sets In
There is loss Of appetite and wasting OF
tissue. and the victim gradually grows
weaker. The inspector has always beer
man of rugged and hardy physique
and even men of medicine are puzzled
that his great frame has been attacked
by this disease.
