A5KHTHXE.X. C, Feb. 23. "Bill"
Kye died at liis home, Buck Shoals, eight
miles from here,
this afternoon.
Tuesday night the
stroke came, and
tivo physicians
from Asheville
were summoned
to his bedside, and
were with him un
til he died. Ed-
K. w. nye. par "Wilson Isye,
or" BD1" Xye, as he is much bet
ter known to his friends and the
public, was born in Shirley, Pisca
taqua county, lie., Aug. 2o, 1S50, but
at the age of 2 years, according to his
own story, he took his parents by the
hand and led them to the west. They
went to Wisconsin, and there, on the
banks of the St. Croix river, young Xye
was brought up on a farm. He received
an academical education at Hirer Palls,
Wis., and in 1S7( went to Wyoming
Territory, where he studied law and
was admitted to the bar.
There, as he says, he practiced law in 1
a quiet way, "although frequently
warned by the authorities not to do so."
He had plenty of leisure time on his
hands, which he used in writing a Sun
day letter for the Cheyenne Sun at the
rate of 1 a column. In one of his hu
morous autobiographical sketches Air.
2yjc says that that sum, which amount
ed to nearly 50 a year, so dwarfed his
returns from his law practice that he de
cided to take up newspaper writing as a
profession, and accordingly moved to
Ddiiver, where he obtained a position
on the staff of tlie Denver Tribune.
He corresponded from Denver to ihe
Salt Lake Tribnne. Xiater a new paper
was started in Laramie called the Lara
mie Boomerang, after a favorite mule
owned by 2re, and which he called
"Boomerang," because he never knew
where it would strike. At the time 2sye
edited the Boomerang it was published
over a livery stable. A sign on the door
instructed callers to "twist the tail of
the gray mule and take the elevator."
The Boomerang was quoted all over
the country and Xye began to get his
reputation as a humorist of note at that
time. The paper was not a financial
success, but it was the foundation for
the fortune which 2sye afterwards made
as a humorist.
J Like many humorists, Mr. 2yye was a
wman of almost womanly gentleness of
disposition. His amiability was never
clouded, and his good humor was as
spontaneous as it was good natured. He
never forgot a friend.
In later years his newspaper writings,
which were prepared under exclusive
contract with the American Prfcs asso
ciation.and his lecturing, brought an in
come of over 530,000 a year.
.Mr. 2vye was married in 1877 to
Panny Smith of Chicago. With her
and their children Xye lived happily for
.longtime on the banks of the St.
Croix, and they went with him to 2evr
Tork City and made home bright on
Staten Island. Of late years, when he
was not going about the country on
lecturing tours, Nye has passed most of
his time at his country place near this
city.
ratal Fire In One or the ltesidence Pal
aces of Haiti mere.
Baltdioke, Peb. 24. Seven people
were asphyxiated, or fatally hurt by
jumping from a window and six others
more or less injured by a fire in the resi
dence of James K. Armiger, a promi
nent jeweler on Charles street Sunday
morning.

The injured were taken to the homes
of neighbors with the exception of the
servants, who were conveyed to the city
hospital. The dead were carried across,
the street to the residence of Dr. K. B.
Batchoior, where every effort was made
to resnsticate them without avail.
The house in which the holocaust oc
curred is one of a row of granite front
residences belonging to the A. S. Abell
estate on Charles street jnst north of I
LaPavette avenue. It is four stories in ;
height and at the time of the fire was i
filled with costly furniture and much
rarc-bricabrac aud unique jewelry, of
which Mr. Armiger was an enthusiastic
collector In the house were 13 persons.
All these people were in their bed
rooms on the upper floors, some of them
being partially dressed, when at 3:30
Sunday morning fire was discovered is
suing from a partition in the cellar. It
had ignited from overheated furnace
flue and was first' seen by Louis Whit
ing, the colored man-of-all-work, who
was at the time cleaning the front steps.
The fire, although a fierce one, was i
confined to ihe Armiger residence,
which was completely gutted. No esti- J
mate has yet been made of the loss, but ,
it is thought the house was worth at
least G,000. The house is insured for j
3.fC0. The news of the disaster spread
with wonderful rapidity all over the j
city snd in a short time a tremendous j
crowd had gathered in front of the f
house. Prayers for the dead and for
the afflicted were lifted up in almost 1
every church in the city and. expressions
of sincere regret and sympathy were
uttered from every pulpit and in the :
households of the many friends and ac
Quainrances of the unfortunate family, j

TiWGTBY, Tex.,Teb. 22. ?PeterJiIaher
was knocked out by Bob Pitzsimmons
yesterday in the first round, after 1
minute and 35 seconds of actual fight
ing. Pitzsimmons played the same old
game he has -so often p ayed. before,
leading on his opponent until he had
him where he wanted him and then
landed a lightning right hand swing on
the jaw and it was over. It was tho
identical blow that knocked out Jim
Hallinlfew Orleans.
2ew Orlkaxs, Peb. 25. Bob Pitz
simmons and party reached the city last
evening over the Southern Pacific read
from El Paso and were to leave immed
iately for Xevr York, but owing to the
failure to secure sleeping berths in ad
vance a stopover for the night was nec
essary. An Associated Press reporter
referred the offer of
the Bolingbroke
club of London to both Julian and Pitz
simmons and both said they would not
think of the offer, as it was too small
and besides Corbett must first get some
sort of reputation before daring to issue
a challenge, or even think of being
taken on by the champion. Pitzsim
mons suggested that he beat Choynski,
Maher and flavin first, if Corbett does
well with these men he will give him a
chance.
BALLINGTON BOOTH SAYS NO.

2sew Yoek, Peb. 25. The World says:
Ballington Booth was offered the lead
ership of an independent American Sal
vation Army. The brigadiers, adjutants
and majors, whom he had created in
all parts of the country, besought him
to become their general. Ballington
Booth retired for a short time to his
private qnarter?, accompanied by his
wife, who had been by his side during
all the exciting scenes. They locked
the door. They knelt down and prayed
for strength. The emissaries came
agaiu with their tempting offer. He
met them calmly and firmly. He
listened to their address, the piiTcrwl
glories of future independence snd
great results for the cause of religion.
"It cannot be," he said, I thankvou
dear friends for the honor von have :
tendered in?, the confidence and the ,
trust you have shown me, but I must j
decline, Mrs. Booth and I will quietly 1
retire from the army in which we have i
labored so knig. Good bye and God's j

Dallas, Tex., Peb. 7. A special tc
The 2ews from Wichita Falls, Tex.,
Bays: At S:S0 last night a mob of sev- i
eral thousand persons .attacked the jail,
here, where Poster Crawford and "The
Xid" were confined for the attempted
bank robbery and the murder of Cashier 1
Dorsey. After xi show of resistance on
the part of the authorities, the mob
battered in the jail doors and forcibly ;
took possession of the prisoners. The ;
two men were taken to the bank which '
they attempted to rob Tuesday and an ;
; improvised scaffold was erected. The
j first impulse of the half crazed mob was
J to burn ; he prisoners, but calmer coun-
sel prevailed. j
j Yells of "Hang 'The Pad' Hist" went
j up. Then others, "Xo, hang the oldest 1
j first." "The Kid" refused to say a
i word, and these having him in charge I
, yansea mm onto a oox. xne scene was
j a weird one. One had on high heeled
boots, black jiants and a deep red
flannel shirt, which added a grnesomo
brilliancy to the scene. In a moment
the rope was about his neck and a man,
whome some say looked like one of the
men whose horses had been taken.
shinned up a telegraph pole and fixed
one end of the rope across the crossbar.
All this time Tue Kid" was jeering at
the crowd, laughing and cursing. Ho
never quivered.
He was asked to say what he wanted
and was told he would be given a hear
ing. He said: "By God, that's all
right. If yon are impatient swing me
up now. I ain't afraid to die. not a bit
of it. Pall the rope, by God."
A voice in the audience "You're go
ing to die now; tell us your name."
-The IGd" "Idorft give a d n if
t von do knew. It's Younger Lewis, and
my father a:id mother reside in Iseosho,
Mo."
"Any message?"' from a voice in the
crowd.
"Well, tell my father I was not scared
a bit; that I died like a nervy man."
"Anything for your mother?"
"No, not a word. She will see tho
message to the old man. Say, you fel
lows, look in that dugout and von will
find 10.000 there."
"The Kid," cr Younger Lewis, as he
at the last moment says he was, contin
ued chattering and laughing with the
crowd, poking fun at them and cursing
for a moment, and then someone yelled:
'Time is up."
"I am 20 years old and robbed that
bank. I am dead game and ready to
die. Go ahead."
In an instant he was pulled up above
the throusr. He never quivered or
s kicked
He just went up in the air and
he is hanging there now. Men who
have been on the frontier for years and
years say no gamer mm ever died. He
was the coolest man in all the great
crowd.
Cravrfcrtl Weatenetl and Confessed.
All the while Crawford was a specta
tor of the scene. He began to weaken
and confessed, giving some valuable in
formation. He -placed the responsibilitv
! for the crime on
The Kid." The mob
shoved him up to the improvised plat
form, next to the bank he attempted to
rob, and his head was about on a level
with the dangling feet of his companion.
He asked for Captain Burnett, The
latter was a spectator in the crowd. He
went to Crawford and had a long talk.
Crawford had worked on Burnett's
ranch for years and was a trusted man.
He began stealing his employer's stock,
however, and associating with territory
outlaws. The two parted company.
Crawford confessed to the robberv, but
j denied the inumer. Ho was a small
! man, poorly clad, with red face aud
short clipped black moustache. When
j they began to look for ai second rope, ho

i Comanche, English and Spanish. Those

rived and it was put about his neck.
He fell forward, either in a faint or
from the effects of the liquor he had
drank. He was soon strung up along
with his companion, and their bodies

Shoddy Clothes In 3'ashiqp.
The British manuf act nrcis have ien
enabled to pour into tho country vast
quantities of cheap, flimsy goods, kept
out Tinder former protection tariffs, and
the American manufacturers lmve been
forced to meet this cheap competition
by reducing the quality of their goods
correspondingly. This is
sufficiently

The Democratic Rooster.
Not long ago I wa in the city of
Plainfield, N. J., a city of JO, 000 in- j
habitants and rapidly becoming a fash- ;
ionable suburb of New York. I strolled
into a barber shop. I always like to "
talk to the barber. He knows every
thing and has a cheerful way of letting !
go of it. So I asked hirn how things
were coming on in Plainfield, He said 8
things were bad enough in Plainfield. 1 1
asked him what was the matter with ,
Plainfield. "Well," said he, "these;
New York roosters don't help a town ;
much." I asked him what he meant.
"Why," said he, "I mean those fellows
doing business in the city of New York.
They bey what they need and getEhaved
before they start home, and just roost
in Plainfield. " And as I crawled out of
that Democratic barber's chair I made
up my mind to do everything I could by
vote and by speech to prevent the Dem
ocratic partyfrom converting the peo
ple of the United States into English
roosters, doing business in London and
merely sleeping in the United States.

"Beliefs" We Ooat Believe.
Cut look for the treasury Belief en
tertained that the deficit will soon dis
appear. These headlines appeared in The Jour
nal of Commerce and Commercial Bul
letin of Jan. 14. It does seem a pity
that such an able and useful paper
should be continuously laboring to in
vent excuses for the false economic policy
of our free trade administiarion. This
was not pecessary under protection. And
the excuses are eo lame and the "be
liefs" eo visionary that thv.y deceive no
body, not even the treasury officials
who inspire them.
Barley Growers as Buyers.
Barley growers will recollect that on
Jan. 1, 1S92, the market price of No. 2
Milwaukee barley was 57 cents a
bnsheL Granulated sugar was quoted at
4 cents a pound the same day; therefore
a bushel of barley was worth 14
pounds of sugar. Pour years later, Jan.
1, 1896, barley was worth 32 cents
and sugar 5 cents. The farmer's bushel
of barley ecu Id be exchanged for only
Q pounds of sugar. The effect of a free
trade policy, instead of McKinley pro
tection, has been a loss, of y pounds of
sugar on every bushel of barley.
