w. Patterson was the first Afro-Amer-
lean in st. Paul who had received an
appointment as an agent for the Con-

THIS MEANS YOU. If there is a
one cent postage stamp on your pa.
per, that means that you have not
paid your subscription for more than
a year, and the Government compells
us to pay one cent each to send the
papers to delinquent subscribers. Now
if you are honorable and square, you
will come and pay what you owe. It
certainly does not reflect any credit
on you to have us pay one cent on
each paper we send to you and for
which you have not paid. Is this
fair and square? ~

IT WAS NO MYSTERY.
Napoleon Derway Of Burlington Returned
Home When He Was Ready.

Burlington, Sept. l3.The mystery Of
the disappearance of Napoleon Derway
of Battery street has been dispelled by
the appearance of the man at his home
with large string of fish. Derway says
that he drew up his boat on the shore
and thinks that the wash of the waves
from one OF the large steamers took
the boat out into the lake. Later an
other fisherman came along and took the
boat ashore for him He then went
farther up the lake on his trip. A boat
in passing saw the skif out in the lake
with every appearance of its having
been abandoned. Derway remained out
of town for considerable length of
time, and this led TO the belief that he
was drowned.
H. T. Rutter observed the Derway
boat Wednesday evening shortly after g.,
oars in the locks and apparently drag
ging its anchor, giving it the appearance
of having been suddenly deserted by its
occupant on the high seas, so to speak.
Later in the evening, Officer Barry in a
motor boat tried TO locate the Derway
craft unsueeesstully.

connected with a eowarlly attack made
on a Young woman in the vicinity of up
per fremont street Wednesday night.
Hagan gave his birthplace as Brattle-
boro and age. AZ. He entered a form-
al plea of not guilty. and the case
against him was continued at the re-
quest of the state until Sept. 27. Bail
was fixed at $500 which the respondent
thought he could furnish. The other al
legged principal in the case, Smonds,
said he was born in Jericho 32 years
ago. At the request of his counsel, Z.
L. Scott and William Wishart, the re-
spondent was remanded to his berth at
the police station until 1880 O'Clock in
order that the attorneys might have

The arrest Of Simonds and Hagan is
the outcome OF a diligent search which
officers have been making since the Ire
mont street affair in the early evening
of Sept. 10. The object of the attack,
an estimable young woman of 10. de-
scribed her assailant as man of me-
dunn height. who wore a cap. Beyond
that she could tell little of his appear
ance On the morning following, an
officer found a blue bandanna handser-
chief near the scene of the attempted
assault, The handkerchief was stained
with what the authorities believe to be
blood spots. 1t will be recalled that
the Young woman remembers of biting
her assailant on the hand and with these
meagre clues, the officers started out OH
the trial
For the defense, it is claimed, that
Simonds can prove an alibi on the night
Of the lGth. Hagln hasn't retained
as yet. although he intimate,l
to-day that such might be his course
if the case should come TO trial. Be-
vond a preliminary examination of the
alleged principals. the municipal court
has no jurisdiction in charges of such

Rufus Gaynor last night was on the
point of collapse from grief and anxiety,
and was unable to give further details
concerning the death of his father. He
expressed deep gratitude at the honors
accorded the late mayor by. the Liver
pool civic authorities Mr.. Gaynor was
informed by Consul Washington that
the bishop of Liverpool had offered to
conduct r--igious services over the body
here. but be declined with thanks, say
ing that his mother had expressed
wish that no services be held until the
return of the body to New York.
A majority of the passengers on board
the Baltic were not aware that they
had such famous fellow voyager as
mayor 6aynor until the news OF MS
death became public. The mayors wish
to rest and to keep to himself was re-
spected alike by the officers of the yes
sci and passengers who recognized him.
To the few passengers with whom Mr..
Gaynor talked on board he did not dis
cuss politics. 1t was generally under
stood that he desired rest from that
subject. This probably led him to favor
the children on. board with his company
more than he did the adults.
