MURDERED.
Anirrlcuin liy
In a lonely, wretched liovol near
Redwood, Texas, two workmen recent
ly found the body of Mary Glenn, tho
most noted hlghwnywoinnn the world
has ever known. She was born In
Philadelphia, and until 1G years old
enjoyed all the advantages that fond
and moderately well-to-do patents
could give. Then her parents
died and she had to light the battle of
llfo alone. She was the oldest child of
the family, and her brothers and bis
ters were dependent upon her. Sho
found employment, and her work
brought to her observation the misery
nntl sufferings of the poor. Her noble,
Ceneroti3 heart was touched, and alio
devoted her spare time and as much of
her earnings as possible toward tho re
lief of these suffering people. She so
licited aid from the wealthy and often
her requests were granted.
On one occasion she found a family
In dire need of food and medical at
tendance. She went to a multi-millionaire,
and begged for a small sum
of money to lollovo the mother's ills-'
tress, to clothe the new-born babe and
to save tho other six emaciated chil
dren of tho family from starvation.
Tho rich man refused her appeal and
drove her fioni his olllce. That night
his palatial home was robbed of three
times the amount that had been asked
for, but tho thief was too late on her
mission of mercy, for as Mary Glenn
was hurrying along tho sheets with
her booty, the mother and new-born
babo died. This Incident moused her
to desperation, and she solemnly
vowed that from that time forth sho
would rob the rich that she might suc
cor the poor. For years she carried on
her work ot robbery and mercy In
Philadelphia. New York, Chicago, Dal
las and may other cities. Near Dallas,
Texas, she once held up a wealthy
ranchman In the darker! of the night.
Ho shot three times at her, but by
striking his arm she destroyed his aim
and saved her life. Hy the llah of his
revolver ho saw that his assailant was
n woman, and Hinging her a bag ot
money rode away. The beauty and
daring of the woman captured tho
heart of the tanchman. The Hash of
his pistol Indelibly Impressed her
features upon his memory. A few
days later ho met her on the plains,
recognized her, and gave her tho
choice of becoming his wife or his
prisoner. Sho accepted the former
frightful Treniiiipnt of
rillplno
The Manila paper, the American, of
recent date, which has Just reached
Snn Francisco on the transport Tartar,
tells a terrible talo of burning nt tho
stake and other tortures indicted upon
thieo American prisoners in the hands
of insurgents of Panay Island. Ho re
lates how Privates Dugan, Tracy ami
Hayes of Company F, Twenty-sixth
Infantry, fell out of the ranks during
an expedition into tho Interior of
Panay and Htm ted on a search for
"tuba," the native wine. They fell
Into the hands of the Insurgents. They
were taken to the town of Callnaga,
where they were Imprisoned until tho
occasion of a big "ilesta" In the vil
lage, when they were led out to the
public square nnil tied to stakes. The
Filipinos decided not to put them to
death at once. Accordingly slow Ares
were lighted and their feet wero
roasted, while natives under tho di
rection of n local Filipino "padro"
swarmed about them, Jabbing them
with knives and cutting strips of llesh
from their bodies. Then red-hot irons
weie applied, cruelly searing them.
When tho victims had all but lost con
sciousness they were leleased from tho
stakes and dragged through the streets
by tho now frenzied mob. Finally
one of their tormentors was ordered
to slay tlrem, whi.'h be did with his
"nolo." Some time afterward Lltut.

The dowager empress of China, In
pursuance of her plans of reform
against the Chinese leformers, has
prepared a list of inoio than 300 pro
gressive Chinese who. she says, must
be disposed of before the end of April.
"Disposed of," In this case, means as
sassination. Nor does the Imperial
lady of Chln.i seek to sweep from her
path only those Chinamen who ob
struct her path In the Flow

list appear the names of promi

Ono of tho queerest marriages In the
history of Missouri occurred In the ex
ecutive mansion at Jefferson City the
other day. Two years ago George W.
Wilson won tho heart of 10-year-old
Maud Mallot of Clay county. He In
duced her to leave her parents' homo
and together they went away.
On flrst one pretext and then anoth
er ho failed to marry her, and then her
father found them and took his daugh
ter home. Later Wilson was arrested
and sentenced to the penitential y for
llvo years. Tho girl overlooked tho
wrong sho had suffered. Sho forgave
and torgot nil else In the presence of
tho fact that ho must suficr Imprison
ment for live years. Sho determined
that ho should be free. It was a hard
struggle. Tho citizens of Clay coun
ty wero loth to work In Wilson's be
half because they thought ho got what
he ilchly deserved. Sho got several
hundred signers to her petition, and
finally stormed her father, who, at llrst
obdurate, finally yielded, and at last
tho pardon was granted. Tho girl's
struggle nwakened the true affections
of tho young man, and ho proposed
that sho accept him as her husband.
Soon after tho stripes had been
changed for citizens' clothes, tho wed
ding was performed by the prison
chaplain. Gov. Stephens offered the
young peoplo tho use of tho cxccutlvo
mansion for their wedding and they
accepted It.

proposition and tho couple lived hap
pily together for three years, when
tho husband was killed by a broncho
which ho was breaking. Ho nlways
humored hfa wlfo In her chnrltablo
work, and his fortune was always at
her disposal. No children were born
to them, and upon his death his prop
erty went to two sons by his llrst
wife. Mary Glenn was again poor and
was soon again In her old wnlks of life,
obblng the rich for the poor. Sho was
tho principal In many bold frontier
robberies, and captured many noted
criminals for whom large rewards
wero offered. Her daring and roman
tic llfo was not fully known until after
her death. Then It was told by an old
negtoss who for many yenrs had lived
upon tho gifts of this romarkablo hlgh

QUEER THINGS IN POKER.
Anions Which In tlio I.url of lloslu
nm. "There are three things In poker,"
said a Michigan man the other day,
"which have always impressed mo
strongly One Is that a beginner gen
erally wins; that the simplest tricks
are used by tho most successful card
sharks, and that tho ruling passion Is
stronger than death. One case in par
ticular comes to my mind to Illustrate
this latter fact. In a New York town
lived a man wo will say Mr. 13. who
had played poker all his llfo. Ho was
seventy-two years of age when taken
seriously sick; tho doctors gavo htm
up as dying, but tho sick mau invited
in a few of his friends and Insisted on
a final game of poker. They played.
That was eight years ago. Tho man
Is alive today, and tho best doctors in
New York say that card playing saved
his life. From that timo until today
a small card game is run at his homo,
mid, while tho town is rabid on tho
anti-gambling question, tho authori
ties, understanding tho circumstances,
make no kick. In an honest gnmo a
new player almost always wins. I'vo
scon them go in against old players
men who thought they understood tho
game and win whero a professional
would lose his wad."

From China comes tho story that In

punishment of burial alive was inflict
ed on a Chinese woman who attempt
ed to poison her husband. Tho woman's
niothcr-ln-law ordered tho grave dug,
and then tho victim, bound hind nnd

crowd. No protest was made by any

After Coining from llollmid.
Tho romance of mi heiress and her
coachman, which has its beginning In
Amsterdam, Holland, has Just ended
at Appleton, Wis., where tho young
couple have settled down to married
life. Mario Aaltsz was n beautiful
young heiress In Holland nnd Adrian
Schoomakcr was coachman for tho
girl's brother. An affection sprang up
between the young people, which, be
ing discovered bj tho brother of tho
girl, occasioned a stormy sceno be
tween tho brother and sister and tho
discharge of tho coachman. Tho girl
fled with tho coachman 'o Rotterdam,
whero they endeavored to havo a mar
riage ceremony performed. Owing to
tho fact that three weeks of publica
tion of tho bans in the civil courts Is
required, nnd fearful that the Influ
ence of tho brother would bo suffi
ciently powerful to separato them If
matters wero delayed, they sailed for
Now York on tho stenmer Rotterdam.
Upon arriving in New York they wero
nt onco married by a Justlco of the
peace in Hobokon. After a day or two
In Now York they went to Apploton.

MARTA DURAN.
Rafael had been paying attention, was
present. Tho two rivals mot twice faco
to face, Marta on the arm of Rafael,
Juana with another young caballcro. A
quarrel ensued, Juana 'slnpped Marta's
pretty check, and there was consterna
tion nmong tho guests.
Senorlta Marta's language was so
vigorous that Senorlta Juana declared
that tho wrong could only bo removed
on tho field of honor. Forthwith Seno
rlta Juana hunted up a friend and sent
a formal challenge to Senorlta Marta.
The seconds arranged tho matter
speedily. Tho meeting was to tako
place at daybreak near tho hull ring.
Tho weapons wero to bo swords. Tho
duel was to continue until ono or tho
other wns Incapacitated. Principals
and seconds hurried homo to chango
their costumes nnd to secure weapons.
They drove to tho' duollng grounds In
coaches, which wero left nt n consid

stripped themselves to the wnlst and
set to work In deadly earnest. Tho
flrst round wns bloodless. Kach wom

skill in fencing. In tho second round
Senorlta Mnrta became, aggresslvo,
while her opponent, who seemed pos
sessed of a grim determination to win
in the end nnd who played a waiting
game, acted on tho defensive. Senor
lta Marta's terrific thrusts began to
wound only by tho narrowest margin.
Tho seconds wished to end tho duel.
Senorlta Mnrta Insisted upon going on.
Sho again faced her rival and received
a scratch on hor cheek.
Tho third round found Senorlta
Marta weak from loss of blood. Tho
ndvantngo was all with her opponent,
and when Senorlta Juana Inflicted a
ripping wound In Senorlta Marta's
sword arm tho latter dropped hor
weapon and Senorlta Junna was do
clared tho victor.
Immediately they ceased tho duelists

As tho result of n fnnilly fmd of two
years' duration, G. W. Roberta, n
farmer living near Mount Vernon, 111.,
was shot and Instantly killed by his
stepson, Hnrry Hughey. Tho troublo
grew out of tho belief of tho Ilughoy
children that Roberts was seeking to
tako advantage of them by appropriat
ing their mother's farm and other
property to his own use.
The solitary, brilliant exception to
the popular heroes of this country, one
who would not accept the nomination
for the piesldeney. was Gen. William
Tecumseh Slieriunn. Repeatedly ho
was urged to be a candidate and ear
nestly besought "to sue our party" by
becoming n standard bearer; but no
arguments thnt were presented, no In
ducements that could be made, Influ
enced his decision. Ills lenly to all
such proposals was that ho waa not n
politician; that he could not become
one; did not want the place, and, final
ly, when his patience was eliausl"d
with the Importunities of those who
assured him that he would be elected
If he would run. he roaied out his last
emphatic, "No, let mo hear no moro of
It. 1 will not accept the olllce."
Kvory other American over whoso
head has been suspended this tempta
tion has succumbed nnd welcomed tho
opportunity to be the recipient of this
greatest of civic honors. If theie bo an
exception Gen. Tilor would represent,
In a measure, that exception, lie ob
lected and then protested that he did
not want the olllce. but finally permit
ted himself to become a candidate and
whs elected to (111 the olllce. Ilia can
didacy was not furthered by himself In
any way. When urged by u delegation
of visiting statesmen to visit the north
for electioneering purposes his reply
was:
"I would not go across yon ferry to
Influence tho public choice or to secure
my election. I havo never aspired to
tho presidency; If tho people elect mo
of their own free choice my humble
services aro at their disposal. If
they elect sonio other candidate I shall
not bo In tho slightest degree morti
fied." Taylor deplored the necessity that
compelled him to resign his commis
sion lu the army, nnd his election did
not compensate him for the severance
of tics that bound him to his comrades
lu arms, nnd tho llfo ho loved. Mrs.
Taylor had shared with her husband
his frontier life, and bad for a quarter
of a century practically lived In a tent,
his happy comrade and caretaker. Sho
used all her Influcnco to prevent a con
sideration of the proposition made to
Iter husband, and when he had reached
the conclusion that ho should accept
tho call of his countrymen, she sadly
pointed out to him thnt his acquired
habits as an nrmy olllcer would not
permit him to llvo under tho restraints
of llfo In Washington, and sho repeat
edly expi'essod the fear that If elected
his llfo would bo shortened by reason
of tho new responsibilities put upon
him. When Taylor's untimely death
occurred a year and four months after
his election, there wero sincere mourn
ers nmong thoso who had known of
Mrs. Tnyor's opposition "to tho plot,"
an sho had termed It, to tako hor hus
band from tho nrmy nnd nominate him
for tho place which had, In u sense,
cost him his life.
Jackson was tho flrst military man
after Washington's tlrno, who becamo
president by reason of bis services In
tho field. Ho was a volunteer soldier,
whoso great success In nrms had mado
him a hero In tho west and southwest,
and whoso nomination wns duo to this
fact. It was a political Issuo that per
suaded him to go into politic?.
Gen. William Henry Harrison was
tho next mllltnry hero who reached tho
presidency by way of tho battlefield.
His unfltncsB for tho olllco wan such
that ono month of worry and rcspon
ilblllty In It killed him.
Gen. Grant's military reputation car
ried him Into tho white house, nnd no
more eloquent judgment has been
passed upon his fitness for tho place of
chief magistrate, or his success In per
forming its duties, than tho place as
signed him in history. There ho Is
ranked ns ono of tho greatest generals
of modern times, and the statement
made regarding his presidency Is
usually tho simple announcement thnt
ho was twice elected to fill the ofllco.
His famo rests on his achievements ns
a soldier. No distinctly military man
can hope to add lnurcls to his crown
by becoming president of tho United
Stntes. Tho truth that they do not Is
attested by tho history of evory soldier
who has held tho position.
Military men who havo boon candi
dates, and beon defentcd as such, havo
Injured their military prestige without

Tho thing was gallantly done, and

which with ordinary caro would havo

Fay that one prisoner told mo that

HUNTING FOR PEARLS.

tho shells that they ileal In. When
It comes to hunting for the real pearl
