"I am ready to dlo a soldier's death at any tlmo. I havo no feara for my self. But I am sorely troubled when I think of whnt would become of my wlfo and children In such an event" Thus spoke Gen. Henry W. Lawton to a friend last summer. He died as heroes die at the head of his men In n warm engagement and whllo aiding a wounded subordinate. Ho left no fortune. Forty years of his life wcro given to his country, but his pay was Inadequate to do more than support himself and his family. But a grate ful country will care for them. The fund which Is to bo presented to Mrs. Lawton as n testimonial of Americans' admiration for her gallant husband will probably reach $75,000. It Is growing fast. Mrs. Lawton was Miss Craig, of Rcd lanas, Cal., and the general's happiest days were spent on their fruit farm In California, when tho great soldier was stationed at Los Angeles. Tho orango groves and tho residence at Redlands arc heavily mortgaged, but the fund will provldo for this and for her future comfort. Mrs. Lawton and tho chil dren nre at Manila. Tho marriage of tio general and Mrs. Lawton was unusual. At tho Craig homestead, near Louisville, ICy., lives a favorite and Invalid cousin of Mra. Lawton, who was anxious to witness tho marriage ceremony. A few days before tho date set for tho wedding the cousin began to fall. It was seen that sho was dying. Sho realized It and asked that Gen. (then major) Lawton and his brldo-to-bo bo summoned to her bcdsldo and there (tho day before tho appointed date) Miss Craig becamo Mrs. Lawton. AFTER THE GOLD BOOMS Importuned of Urnctlont In Determin ing Population. Tho law that settlers follow tho lino of least rcslstanco suffers an exception when men arc seeking gold. In tho natural order of things, population would havo worked Itself In a continu ous progression toward tho llocky Mountains, crossing them only by compulsion, as tho Alteghnnlcs were crossed and tho Mississippi and tho Missouri rlvcrp. But where thero Is gold In sight thero Is no law. Human ity goes Into Alaska with tho samo blind avidity that It went Into Califor nia fifty years ago, with tho samo fatu ousness that It swept to Pike's Peak In 185S. Population forsook nil Its domiciles, Its patronages and Its pros perity, In tho Argonaut period, nnd, MRS. MARY CRAIG LAWTON. as If driven by somo monstrouB wind, ' surged over the uneven earth to tho Pacific and to tho Rockies. Tho wholo world knows how It did so, nnd tho suffering that ensued Is as common a story as the fortunes that wero won. But tho thing that Is not known, the matter of lasting Importance thnt Is most often overlooked, lc tho migra tory reaction, tho settling back of the big flood to tho places In which, cither by necessity or by the choice, It must finally rest. Tho character of tho great west, tho transmlssourl, with its multlplo variations, Is dotcrmlncd by this phenomenon. A map and a book of census statistics will tell tho story. It Is tho story of tho oil from tho pitcher again. Men and women touched tho crest of tho continent at Leadvlllo, In Colorado, In 1858, but fell back onto tho plains again beforo tho 'COs wero expired. The Mormon emigration filled tho valley of tho Jordan In 1817, but tho general tide of peoplo cither went to tho lower valleys of thu Sacramento nnd the Snn Joaquin on tho oriental sldo of the Sierra Novadas or receded on tho eastern elope of tho Rockies. Successive mining discoveries enticed rushes of prospectors Into northern Idaho and British Columbia, but tho greater mass of the movers went back Into tho warmer regions of California and Oregon. Where tho Corastock and tho Consolidated Virginia silver mines once magnetized so many set tlers as to beguile congress Into mak ing a stato of Nevada, there Is little left now but tho evidence of what has been and tho promise of what may ba when the Immigration of tho west be gins to move again for less glorious promises than acres of oranges for tho mere tilling of tho soil and monster timber for tho mere hewing of the logs. Tho mesas of the two southwestern territories, Arizona and Now Moxlco, seem to havo nb3orbed tho hosts of traders and adventurers that wont Into them as tho sandy soil of their great areas drink In the freshets from tho mountains."

Although a compara tively newcomer In tho raotropolls.hav- lng removed there from ButTulo thrco REV. THOMAS SLICER. or four years ago, Mr. Sllcor has at ready mado n largo placo for himself In tho religious, political and civic 11 fo of tho city. Ho Is ono of our best after dinner speakers, and Is In constant de mand for functions of this kind. An excellent cxamplo of his stylo nnd trend of thought Is furnished In tho following paragraph from his sermon on Thanksgiving day: "Tho first busi ness of every American," said Mr, Sllcor. "Is to be fit for America. Ho may regard It as a good stand for bU3l ness to enrich himself, but being en rlchcd ho Is tho trustco of thoso riches, and not their owner. Ho may regard It as n great opportunity In which to bo free, but the only purposo of free dom Is to llvo tho higher life. I bo llovo In tho sovereignty of tho rcoplo in tho great do mocracy, which is worklnc out Its salvation and tho salvation of tho world." Dr. Sllcer Is actively engaged In aiding tho movoment In favor of municipal reform, and Is ono of tho closest and most confidential friends of Gov. Roosovelt. The Twentieth Century. It Is quite tlmo that everybody who is disposed to be eloquent ovor tho now century should reallzo that It does not begin on Jan. 1, 1900. The first cen tury began with tho yenr 1 and ended with the year 100. Unless there has been n year Inserted nomowhoro, thero Is, therefore, no cscapo from tho con clusion thnt tho nineteenth contury does not end until tho close of tho yenr 1900. A iurlous fact In reference to tho now century Is that It will havo twenty-four leap years, tho greatest number thnt can possibly occur In a century. The name yearly culendnr that did service In 1895 can bo used again In 1901, nnd mny bo used again at successive Intervnls of six, eleven nnd every eleven years throughout tho century.

Of all the monBtcra of tho deep, tow seem moro uncanny to tho nvcrago ob server than the "angler fish," two lino specimens of which havo been received nt tho Aquarium.

Indeed, It Is hnrd to bcllevo that they nro living creatures at nil. Tho smaller tlsh even do not apparently suspect It. From tho forehead of tho "angler" springs n sort of tentacle, In reality a living fish ing rod. From Us tip dangles n bit of looso flesh, which looks very tempting, waving In tho clear wntcr. Tho Httlo fish makes n rush, and Is just about to close his jawB on tho morsel when "snap," tho angler's mouth opens nml shuts, nnd thero Is tho end of tho Httlo fish. Tho "angler's" appetite seems In- cxhaustlhlc, nnd his mouth, half tho slzo of his body, never makes n miss.

Chlcngo, even In thoso days, offered many Inducements to eastern men to locato there, but It Is singular that southern Wisconsin then appeared to offer greater advantages. Dr. Whlto wns ono ot thoso Now England men who thought southern Wisconsin n Mecca for new homeseekors. Hotoio leaving Colcbrook ho excited tho do sires ot his friends nnd neighbors, nnd organized among them a Now England colony destined to acttlo In tho wont Railroads wero unknown, stnges wero Infrequent nnd travel a hardship. But Dr. White, as tho advance agent of this Now England colony, was sent to Wis consln to open the way and nrrango for tho coming of tho colonists. Ho left Colcbrook In tho winter of 183G- 37, mnklng tho cntlro Journey to what is now Bololt on n ono-horso sled.

Ho camo to Bclolt for permanent resilience in 1837, bringing Ills sou Horace, his wlfo and tho re maining children with him. Ho died thcra In 1813, leaving Horace, as tho oldest son, to bo tho aid ot his mother nnd tho younger children. At nn early ago Horaco entered Bololt college, from which ho graduated with tho highest honors In 1853. Then ho went to Chicago. Tli In was tho tlmo when editorial pages of great nowspapors mado nnd unmndo parties and often caused tho government to chnngo Its policy.

Ho beenmo tho local editor of Tho Evening Journal, and in 1855, the samo year that Mr. Medlll and Dr. Ray became so powerful In Chicago, ho was mado agent ot tho Associated Press, and icsigued his po sltion On Tho Journal. Just beforo tho civil war began Mr. Whlto was sec rotary of tho Republican stnto central commltteo of Illinois, and held that position until 1801. During this samo period ho was special correspondent of Tho Chicago Tribune at Washing ton, nnd mot nnd Interviewed every great public mnn of tho war porlod Worldly wealth enmo to him nnd ho was ublo to buy a heavy Interest In The Tribune und become tho editor-in-chief, which position ho held until 1874, when ho retired nnd mado an ex tensive tour through Europe.

Tho bold attack of n huge caglo upon C-year-old boy on tho atrcot, tho vnl- llnnt fight of another lad with tho bird ot freedom, nnd Its subsequent capture created n groat stir In Cam den.

Thoy woro having flno port, nil unmindful of danger, when one of them exclaimed: "O-o o-o look at dnt big bird!" Tho lads looked up nnd beheld n huge, dark bird hov ering high In tho air, Just over tholr heads. They watched It until they grew vcar, and they went on with their play, but every few minutes thoy cast their eyes upward, nnd tho bird was still thero. They saw It for an hour, and had almost forgotten It when suddenly there camo n swish nnd rush throush tho nh "Thero comes tho blrdl" erled tlio now frightened lads. Suro enough, Iho aerial mystery wan swooping down Into th" crowd. It had evidently singled out ono hoy, for It made straight for C-ycar-old Willie Campbell, tho son of Mrs, Elizabeth Campbell of 77C Line street. Tho lit tle follow started to run, screaming with fright, nnd tho bird, which proved to bo n lingo gray eagle, was about to sink lis tnlons In hU head whon 8- year-old Morgan Wright, son of Justice of tho Peace Wright, came running up with a club. Tho cable's attention was diverted to tho br.wo lad with tho c'.ub. for ho was using It with all the strength ot his little arms. Tho big bird of freedom flew about to escape tho club and struck tho Iron pickets of tho sclioolhouso fence. This s:omod to stun tho oiglo, for It dropped to tho ground nnd lay apparently helpless. In this condition It was captured by the boyn and carried In triumph to tha of fice of Justlco Wright, nt Eighth nnd Pino streets.
