gan his career as a human parachute
in a modest, unassuming sort of way
In Rochester, He fell from a scaffold,
hung from the third story of the Wild

the time, and contrary to orders, sealed
the walls, and was hobnobbing on the
narrow ledge with a painter when he
stubbed hla toe over a pall of white
lend uud departed the scaffold with no
word of farewell. There was a large,
generous-bosomed sand pile waiting to
receive him. lie landed In the mldat
of It, and picked himself out as blithely
aa If he had Juat shot the chutes for
the first time.
That was the first demonstration
that there was some special providence

that, and did not appear aa a budding
tank-drama tragedian until nearly a
year later. Then he fell from an oil
derrick down In the lirudford fields.
That waa the only time when bis poor,
mlsmated feet could not legitimately
receive all the credit for the flight of

They picked bim up for dead, and
carried him to the pump station. In
Just half an hour he begged for anoth
er try at the ladder, and was hurt
when they told him to go home and
call it a day. The next morning he
climbed the ladder. McGinn's next
aerial dive was in Htiffalo, where he
had wandered from the oil fields and
found work on one of the new office
buildings going up there. His ponder
ous feet refused to track while their
owner was crossing a plank laid over
an alrshsft. The plank heaved anti
McGinn disappeared. His flight began

the fourth, where the speed of his fall
was broken by two planks stretched
across the shaft in a manner similar
to the one he had left. The collision
swerved him from his course, and he

decided It was worthy of hts consider

or more at bolting and riveting, and
then fell.
For eight stories he kept It up

other like a huge squash ball. He lia<:

held up their hands in horror as he

Griffin was engaged In plaelng a band

and, loosing his balance, fell twenty
feet, breaking a glass gauge in his fall.
He made a cry as he fell, ami Herbert
Gut drier, a boy employed on the same
floor, hurried to his aid. He hud al
most rearhed the body when he was
driven hack by the fumes of the am
monia. He grabbed Griffin’s leg HFd
attempted to pull him out. but was un
able to do ho. and had to run to es
cape the fumca. He hurried to the
Opening which led to the engine room
and alarmed the engineer, David Clark,
and John Claeber, the fireman. The
latter waa the first to reach the floor
on which the Injured man waa lying,
and he had to give up after his throat
was badly blistered from the Inhalation
of the ammonia. He managed to crawl
out after almost reaching Griffin.
Clark, fearing that both of the men
had succumbed to the fumes, hoisted a
ladder to the aide windows and open
ed them to let the gas out. He entered
the building, and by keeping close to

A COUNTESS CHALLENGED GOD
A Hi«llln| Furred Open Her Waned
Tomb.
"In the town of Hanover, Germany,"
Evangelist Moony writes In hi* Bible
Claea discourse In the Ladies' Home
Journal, "there Is buried a German
Countess who denied the existence of
God and ridiculed the Idea of the Res
urrection. To further show her con
tempt for Christianity she ordered
that on her death her grave should be
built up of solid masonry and covered
by large stones bound together by
iton clamps. On this tomb was en
graved her defiant challenge that
through eternity this tomb should
never be disturbed. But one day the
■iced from some tree, either blown by
the wind or tarried by a bird, became
lodged in a small crevice of the tomb,
where soon it sprouted and began to
grow. And then, as if Nature had
seemed to mock the haughty Infidel,
she quietly extended the delicate roots
of that seedling under the massive
blocks of stone and slowly raised them
from their place. And now. although
scarce four generations are passed
since that tomb was sealed, that most !
i nsigmflcant seedling has accomplished '
what God Himself was challenged to >
accomplish."

home In I/O* An
geles, Cal., recent
ly, It now appears,
by taking mor
phine, took his life
because his wife, from whom he had
leparated. Insisted on living with him.
’reede and his wife, on Jan. 4 last,
leclded to forever separate, but nel
her of them was In favor of commenc
ng divorce proceeding* at that time,
t was decided, however, that after the
leceMsary legal time had elapsed,
Creede should sue his wife for divorce
in the grounds of desertion. Mr.
Creede gave his wife $20,000, and she
ittrrendercd all claim on his estate and
eft his house. Mrs. Creede appeared
o be perfectly sutisfled with the ar
angement, and, taking her $20,000,
he went to the home of her parents. In
tlabama. Bhe grew tired of living In
be Booth, however, and yearned to be
nlted with her husband. Bhe returned
o I/O* Angeles nearly a month ago,
nd proposed to her husband that they
Ive together again. Mr. Creede was
ery much disturbed by the proposal,
nd rejected It. He also made elTorts
o avoid his wife, but was unsuccess
ul. This made him determined to
omratt suicide, and, as told In the
ews columns, he swallowed a large
owe of morphine and went to the gar
en. A servant discovered Mr. Creede
fter he had become unconscious. He
ran carried Into the house, and physl
lans were summoned. They were un
ble to save him, however. Mrs.
reeds was notified of her husband’s
ulclde, but refused to say anything
bout the matter. The couple had no
hfldren of their own, and a year ago
hey adopted a girl, who is now at
Iscondldo.
Mr. Creede was horn near Fort
Vayne, Ind.. In 1842, and his real name
tas William Harvey. Ills parents
loved to l<con, Iowa, and there, when
cry young, he fell In love with a
roman who preferred iyis brother. He
uit home In disgust, and changed his
lame, because he would not bear the
lame of his successful rival. He Join
'd the Union army In 1861, first In the
luartermaster's department and then
is a scout. As a scout he served with
he I’awnee Indians against the Sioux,
’umpalgnlng all over Nebraska and the
Mains of Wyoming, Dakota and Colo
rado. Major Frank North was his
•ommander. and he passed seven years
>f as hard campaigning us can be Iniag
nrd. Mr. Creede settled In Colorado
in lk7ft as a prospector. His failures
In this pursuit were due to his craving
ror wandering from place to place, not
staying long enough anywhere to make
a real "strike.” Although he was mod
est In locating claims, be once stated
that be had stakes all over Colorado
and part of New Mexico. His first
strike of any Importance was made In
187ft in a totally unknown district
north of Salida. which he named Mon
arch. There he remained for two years
after the boom struck it, and finally
sold out for $.',000. "Had 1 known ihen
what i know now about mining,” he
said afterward, "l would have made an
Independent fortune.” This money he
expended in studying mining and vis
iting other mining camps as a capital
ist. The next camp he started was
Bonanza, in Saguache county, Colora
do. It nourished until the fall in sil
v< r. when It was deaerted. There were
ten years of failures and discourage
ment between Monarch and Creede
camp. His wanderings far from the
routfs of the ordinary prospector led
him to the plaie where he struck It

Creede swallowed the bait, and th
printer lived with him for six month
on the pretense of collecting data
Then Creede threw him out, but th
poison was In the new millionaire'
veins, and he employed Cy Warmait t<
write his life. Warman did it up artls
tlrally, throwing In an occasional poen
of daredevil adventure built on a slen
dor basis, and generally lauding thi
scout of the plains. The book wai
named "The Prospector of SilYci
Creek.” Only a few copies were eeei
Issued. When the fame of his wealth go
abroad Creede was the mark of al
sorts of blackmailers, but when li
came to his pocket he was never weak
minded. A distant relative of his, t
mere boy, knowing that the celebrated
N. C. Creede was William Harvey, vis
ited him at Pueblo, and Indiscreetly
endeavored to use his knowledge as a
means for obtaining money. Creed*
kicked him out, and the boy started
back home, hut committed suicide near
Manhattan, Kan,, on the way. Creedo's
Iowa relatives are spoken of as peo
ple of the best class, a brother, John
W. Harvey, being circuit Judge of I)e
eatur county. Creede’s personal brav
ery whs never questioned. This story
of Ills prowess us a hunter Is narrated:
When prospecting In the Creede coun
try he suw a bear, and, dropping his
tools, rushed back to his cabin and got
his Winchester. Catching up with the
bear be wounded It, and bruin made a
dash at him. He kept on firing with
out moving, and the bear got within
ten feet of him before It dropped. At
thut moment Creede saw two mort
bears approaching, and, hastily reload
ing his rifle, he attacked them and
killed them also. His companions In
the cabin, hearing the continuous fir
ing, rushed out to help him, but ar
rived too late to share In the killing.
Creede's principal employment as scout
MRS. CREEDE
and lieutenant of the Pawnees was to
clear hostile Indians from the line of
the Union Pacific as It was building
westward. His work was thorough, for
he never quit the trail of Indians who
committed any depredations In his ter
ritory, following them with his Paw
nees until every one was killed. After
Creede became rich he took to drink,
and In 18&3 his friendg induced him to
try a cure for drunkenness. Morphine
was the principal Ingredient of this
cure, and when his appetite for liquor
vanished It was replaced by a fiercer
one foCthe drug. On several occasions
he nearly died from an overdose of
morphine, notably once at Galveston,
Texas, when he was unconscious for
two days from the effects of It. It is
learned that the fortune left by Mr.
Creede will go to the girl ward. He
left a will, and the half million he had
will go to little Dorothy Waters, whose
short life has been no less strange than
her benefactor’s. Dorothy’s mother
wan the daughter of the owner of one
of the Santa Barbara Islands. The
mother was brought up in absolute se
clusion until she was about 15 years
old. when she made her escape from
her home In an open boat, and against
the odds of wind and wave made her
way to the mainland. She met a young
man, and before she could be returned
to her father’s home plighted him her
love and insisted on marrying hirn.
Her family cast her off and her hus
band soon deserted her. leaving her
pennlleas with little Dorothy. The
poor woman Joined an opera company
but met with ill success, and soughi
shelter in the hospital. Her story was
published, and Mr. Creede went to set
her. extended her help and adopted hei
llttl" girl. The mother went away, ami
no one knows where she is. It is pos
sible that Mrs. Creede. who has nevet
been divorced, but only agreed td leaw
her husband, may contest the Inher
itance of little Dorothy, though It h
claimed that the dead man's will wai
drawn carefully so as to leave no roon
for a legal tight over his money.
