THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE : FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 22, 1895.
BROUGHT HOME THE BODY.
Remain of Isaac P. Gray Taken to Colon
City, Ind., I or Interment.
Indianapolis, Feb. 21. The body of
Isaac P. Gray, late United States minis
ter to Mexico and formerly governor of
Indiana, arrived in the Union station at
8 a.m. As the train bearing the re
mains polled into the station a minis
ter's salnte of 17 guns was fired. The
train consisted of a baggage car and a
Pullman sleeper. In the center of the
baggage car, in the coffin enclosed in a
rude box, rested the body of the dead
minister. Mrs. Gray and Bayard Gray,
her son, arrived in the sleeper. Fully
1,000 people crowded up to the iron rail
ings north of the tracts and eyed the
train curiously. Inside the railing were
train and railroad officials and the offi
cers of the Indianapolis Light artillery.
As soon as the train came to a halt it
vas tfcn in charge by the light artil
lery ana a watch, was placed on the fun
eral car. There was no attempt to dec
orate or drape the car. In the middle
of the car, between the two side doors,
rested the box containing the coffin. It
was almost entirely covered with
wreaths and flowers, giving out a
strong, pungent odor, and all dead and
withered. The body was later removed
to Union City. Ind.. for interment. The -j
state capitol is elaborately draped in
mourning emblems, and many busilfMfc
and pnvato houses throughout the city
are also draped. The body of the late
minister was not in good condition.
The head was thrown back in an un
natural position, and the face was so
black as to be almost unrecognizable.

Washington, Feb. 21. Frederick
Douglass, the noted freedman, orator
and diplomat, died at his residence m
Anacosta, a suburb of this city, of heart
failure. His death was entirely unex

best of health.
During the afternoon he attended the
conference of tho women of the
United States, now in progress in this

bars, vr th whom he has been on in
timate terms for many years. When he
ritu-iica no.ne lie said nothing of any
feeling of illness, though he expressed
himself as being a little exhausted from
Lthe climb up the stairs leading from the.
street to bis house, which is on a high
terrace. He sat
down and chatted
with ihts wife
about the women
at the convention.
Suddenly he gasp

and fell back un
conscious. A doc

summoned and ar

attack the faint motion of the heart
ceased entirely.
Mr. Douglass leaves two sons and a

His second wife, who was a wnite
woman, survives him.
Sketch of His life.
Frederick Douglass was born in Tuck-
ahoe, Talbot county, Maryland, in Jjeb
ruary, 1817. His mother was a negro
slave and his father was a white man.
At the age of 10 years he was sent to
Baltimore, where he learned to read
and write. His owner later allowed
him to hire his own time for $3 per
week and he was employed in a ship
yard. In September, 1833, he lied from
Baltimore and made his way to New
Yoik. Thence he went to New Bed
ford, Mass., where he married and lived
for three or four years, supporting him
self by day labor on tho wharves and in
various workshops. While thero ho
changed his name to Douglass. He had
previously been called Lloyd, the name
of his old master.
Iu the summer of 1841 he attended an
anfMaverv convention at Nantucket
and made a speech that was so well re
ceived that he was offered the agency of
tho Massachusetts Antislavery society.
In this capacity he traveled and lectured
through the New England states lor
frinr- 'wiik " Liarrre audiences were" at
tracted by his graphic descriptions of
slavery and his eloquent speeches. At
this time he published his first book, en
titled "Narrative of My Experience in
Slavery." In 1845 he went to Europe
and lectured on slavery to enthusiastic
audiences in nearly all of the large
towns of Great Britain. Iu 184(5 his
friends in England raised $750 to pur
chase his freedom in due form of law.
He rcmainod two years in Great Bri
tain and in 1847 began at Rochester, N.
Y. tho publication of Frederick Doug,
lass' paper, whose titlo was afterward
changed to The North Star. In 18j3 he
published "My Bondage and My Free
dom." Iu 1859 tho John Brown riots
took place in Virginia. Ho was sup
posed to be implicated in these and Gov
ernor Wise made requisition for his ar
rest upon the governor of Michigan, iu
which state he was then. To avoid dif
ficulty Mr. Douglass went to England,
where he remained for six or eight
mouths. Ho then returned to Roches
ter and continued the publication of his
paper. When tho civil war broke out
he urged upon President Linooln the
employment of colored troops and the
issuance of a proclamation of emancipa
tion. After the abolition of slavery he dis
continued the publication of his paper
and applied himself to tho preparation
and delivery of lyceum lectures. In
September, 1870, he became editor of
Tho New National Era in Washington,
This was afterwards continued by his
sons, Lewis and Frederick. In 1871 he
was appointed assistant secretary to the
commission to San Domingo. On his
return President Grant appointed him
one of the territorial counsel for the
district of Colorado. In 1872 he was
elected presidential elector-at-large for
tho state of New York and was ap?
pointed to carry the electonl vote of the
state to Washington. In 1876 he was
appointed United States marshal for the
District of Columbia. After this he be
came recorder of deeds for tho District
of Columbia, from which office he was
removed by President Cleveland in 1888.
In the autumn of that year ho revis
ited England to inform the friends he
had made whilo a fugitive slave of the
progress of the African race in the
United States. After his return to the
United States he was appointed minis
ter to Hayti by President Harrison in
18S9. The Haytien ministry was the
last position in the gift of the United
States held by Mr. Douglass. In 1892
Hayti made an appropriation of money
for the Columbian exposition and ap
pointed Mr. Douglass the senior of her
two commissioners to the exposition.
Since the close of the fair Mr. Douglass
has lived quietly in Washington with
out engaging in any special business.
His wealth is variously estimated at
from $100,000 to fSCH.OOO. j

Felling Trees by Electricity.
Trees are felled by electricity in the
great forests of Galicia. For cutting
comparatively soft woods the tool is in
the form of an auger, which is mounted
on a carriage, and is moved to and fro
and revolved at the 6ame time by a small
electric motor. As the cut deepens,
wedges are inserted to prevent the rift
from closing, and when the tree is near
ly cut through an ax or handsaw is used
to finish the work. In this way trees are
felled very rapidly and with but little
labor. London Tit-Bits.

TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN.
He Can Endure All bat the Questions el
People Who Never TraTeL
A nrominent - Pittsburg passengei
agent, in a conversation with a reportei
of that city, gave a few interesting fact
relative to the everyday experience ol
the average city passenger man, which
those not directly connected with the
business know nothing about. He saidi
"It is a singular fact the number ol
people who visit our office daily and the
curious questions they ask with regard
to railroad rates, etc., when very often
they have no notion whatever of leaving
the city and as a matter of fact have not
traveled any worth mentioning. For sis
years there has been a very singular char
acter who has made an annual visit tc
this office. I have.no idea from whence
he cometh or whither he goeth, but he
always asks the selfsame questions and
goes away apparently satisfied with the
information ho has received. Ialwayt
expect him in the springtime, generally
about the 1st of April, when the sun'f
rays grow warmer.
"Then my quaint old friend comes tc
see me. I Bhould judge him to beat
least 80 years of age. He is stooped and
feeble, with hair as white as snow, but
well dressed, wears a silk hat and carriet
a cane and talks in a nervous, jerk)
manner. He invariably opens up with.
What's the rate to Boston? 1 tell him.
and his eyes lightburaa he waddles out
h always the sBservation. 'Well
'! gum, that's cheapftheap!' If theold
man would tell his story, it might have
a tinge of pity in it Perhaps ho has s
son or daughter in the Hub City whom it
has been his cherished hope to see for all
these years.
"The biggest out and out nuisance we
have to deal with are persons who come
here with no other intention than to col
lect all the railroad literature they can.
They have no notion of going away, but
thay grab everything in sight in the wa
of time tables and other information
bearing on tourists' points in tho north,
east, south and west. They greedily
gather pamphlets, circulars and book
lets treating on climate and resources.
I don't know what these collectors dc
with tho Btufi they get here, but some ol
them must have a prize assortment.
"Then the man who travels from one
end of the country to the other is the
person who invariably pushes into the
office and in a brusk manner asks for a
timo table of tho line he is about tc
take. It is given him, of course, and
without so much as glancing at the
schedule it is stuffed into his pocket,
and his next question is, 'When does my
first train leave?' It never seems to oc
cur to him to look on the time table. So
it goes. Sometimes people ask me ques
tions until I'm afraid the buttons will
drop off my coat, but after all we man
age to get along with our patrons re
markably well." Pittsburg PoBt.
A Biblical Conundrum.
A good story is told of the horsy son
of an English clergyman. He was on aa
important occasion to meet the bishop ol
Lincoln at dinner, and as it was desir
able that a favorable impression should
bo made on his lordship his father beg
ged he would be favorable to the bishop
and do ' his best to draw him out, as he
was unusually strong in Biblical lore.
During the early part offthe banquet
matters, went on well eaagh;-the young
man saying little, but watching for an
opportunity to open hia full batteries.
At length a pause in the general conver
sation took place, and while the com
pany was all attention he thus addressed
tho bishop:
"Might I venture to ask your lordship
a question relative to a point mentioned
in the Old Testament which has puzzled
me a good deal?
"Oh, certainly quite happy," replied
the dignitary, feeling quite in hia ele
ment.
"Then I should be glad to have your
lordship's opinion as to how long it took
Nebuchadnezzar to get into condition
after he had been out to grass?' Boston

Xervons Singer,
The effects of nervousness are varied
and amusing, Qne.young mezzo soprano
was prevented just in time from walking
on to the platform in a huge pair of fur
lined overshoes, which were put on above
her slippers, and which contrasted com
ically with her dainty gown.
Another songstress, who was gifted
with a good verbal memory, was singing
without note. During a rather elaborate
symphony preceding the Becond verse of
her song she chanced idly to glance at
the book of words which 6he was hold
ing. Confusion followed. She could not
link the melody with the poem. It was
a terrible moment, but she stepped swift
ly to the piano, glanced at the accom
panist s copy anu nmsneu ner song con
amorc. It appeared on inspection that
by a printer's error two lines of her song
had been left out of the book of words.
This had confused her and was the cause
of her failure to blend words and music
together. Atalanta.

The Young Moon.
The editor of The Popular Science
Monthly takes certain imaginative writ
ers to task for their unscientific and ab
surd statements regarding "the young
moon" and "the crescent moon" and ad
vises them to leave it alone, because they
so often contrive to get it in the wrong
place. In a story which has come under
his notice he finds two friends described
as sitting out one summer evening look
ing over the Thames, and the writer goes
on to say, "By this time the young moon
had arisen, and its cold light shimmered
over the misty river." Such writers are
reminded that the young moon goes to
bed early and can never be seen in the
process of rising.
Palmy Day For Cats.
The palmy days for. cats were in the
times of Egypt's power as a nation, some
500 years B. C. They were held then as
eacred as dogs or crocodiles, and death
was the penalty for killing them. From
their nocturnal habits and glossy fur, the
Egyptians deemed them symbolical of the
moon, and a golden cat was worshiped
at Syene. New York Sun.
At the winter paiacg, St. Petersburg,
there is a room full of aiamonds, pearls
and other precious stones. The empress
of Russia is allowed to borrow from this
room after giving a receipt for what she
takes, and generally the grand duchesses
are allowed to borrow from it also.
Jewelers are fervently wishing that the
6tyles prevalent in France in the tenth
century might be. revived for the sake of
business. Judith, the wife of Caipuchin,

dames followed her example.
