YOUNG q-VLflOUN'S PLCA
He Acknowledges Ills Guilt on Three
" • Counts
J. C. Calhoun , lute deputy revenue col
lector , was nrralciod before Judge Dundy
yesterday mornlntrl , ffho indictment found
by the grand jijry _ contained ten counts
Calhoun pleaded guilty to throe of those
counts They specified the ombczzlemont of
S2S5. Ho pleaded not guilty to the other
seven counts Jw iccerdonco with an agree-1
ment betwpen So district , attorney and counsel
' '
sel for the pr 'lso tjerthD judge was asked to
instruct the jury to return a Verdict of guilty
on three counts and not guilty on the other
seven , which was done No testimony was
produced and tbo prisoner was at once re
leased on bail until sentence is passed upon
him "C
Judge Dundy stated last night that this
arrangement had bcon entered into between
Attorney Pritchott nnd the prlsonor's coun
sel because Mr Pritchett was afraid if tie
case ' went to trial bo could not secure a con
viction , and he thought It would be better to
secure an admission of guilt than to have a
trial which would probably result in ac-
nulttal
Another thing which the judge remarked
had some inlluence _ in the matter is tto fact
that there Is not money enough in the fund
for witnesses to have paid the expenses of
the trial , so that it would have gona ever
another term There is only about $00 in
the witness fund , and the judge would nut
have allowed the trial to proceed when
there was no money to pay witnesses
The fact that the greater part of the money
taken was in tbo shape of drafts has raised
grave doubts In the minds of Judco Dundy
and the district attorney whether these
drafts could bo construed to be lawful
money of the Unitod-Statcs.
Taking everything into consideration ,
Judge Dundy thought the district attorney
had taken tbo only course to secure a con
viction
The penalty for the enmo Is a line of

Tlio Ladles Homo Magazine , of Phil
adelphia , prints in the January nutnbar
u romut'kublo und puthotlo story of the
late Mrs Rutherford B. Hayes , tliufla
said to bo vouched for by the ex-prosl-
dent The story is as follows : Mro
Itutuorford J } . HayoB wus ono pt the
awq ' otost , staiichest und most sterling
women that over swuyed the domestic
destinies of the whlto house She
hud hdr own vlows o ! life
and they were very oxaltud ,
To her mind they had ho association
with'loculity or Social bv omclul posi
tion What Boomed to her to bo the
prnpor mode of Ufa in the retirement
of prlvuto elation , in her homo at Fre
mont , formed to nor mind tbo proper
rule nf existence iu the conspicuous
place ot wife ot the president of the
United States No intensity ol satire ,
nor injustice of criticism could move
her a hairs brondtli from whnl she fo-
gnrilod as the true way Aa she lived
she died , calmly , bravely ami with a
Borcno confidence
Some ot her nearest rolntlvcs linil
died ot parnlysls , mid alio had a premonition -
monition that she , too , would pass nwny
with the &nni3 disorder She had a
lontr talk with hor-husband on the sub
ject about thrco years nffo Ho on-
aoavorod to chnso away hot * fours with
light and kindly words Early last
ntitumn , just about the tlmo of the an-
nivorsnry ot the death of her brother ,
who hail passed away In paralysis , she
spolco of her protnontttons again Her
fears now amounted to an absolute con
viction , nnd she spoke of her ontl by
paralysis as an event cortnln to take
ilnco None of the ondcavors of her
{ lusband to turn her thoughts to a tnoro
cheerful subject could avail She
quietly insisted on arranging with him
her business mid ether affairs She put
her house In porfoot order ,
And now , " she Ilnully said , "If I bo
stricken with pnrnlysls ns I believe I
shull bo I will not , ns you know , bo able
to sponk But perhaps I still may bo
able to hear You may ask mo then
whether my mind is borono and clour ,
whether 1 am at ooso and free I'om
pain For the nnswor yes to these
quostlons , I shall press your hniul Jf
1 can not truthfully reply in the afllrm-
ativo , my hand will not , olnsp yours "
Thrco days after this what she feared
would happen came to puss She was
suddenly stricken down with paralysis
Her organs of speech were bonumboil
She could not utter ti word Thou all
she had said came sadly buck to the
memory of her devoted husband . Look
ing down into her shining eyes ho took
her hand In his and asked the ques
tions which days before she had sug
gested "Wlfo , dour , are you at ouso ,
is your mind Bcreno tmd clear and nro
you free from pulnV"
Slowly the poor whlto flngors closed
upon his , giving his hand a gentle , ro-
itssurlug urossuro The next day the
bravo nod.lovliig wife was doud

Indian shawl not long ago It occurred
to her , she being temporarily In straits
ever hero for money , to take it to a
Parsco merchant in the hope that ho ,
might give her a h'tndsomo sum for it
His ad vlco to her was to use it us a ta
blecloth or in draping a sofu , because it
was scarcely sulublo The fact is , ho
s.xid , that nutlvo princes huvo long

This conversation with thoParseo was
related in the presence of a member of
the government of Victoria who came
to Europe for the exhibition Ho
trumped it by relating how the duke of
Edinburgh attended to his own inter

THU GOLDEN BOSI2.
No American Woman Has Cvcr Rc-

Mgr Dennis McConnell , renter of the
Vatican college , who has boon visiting
at tlio bishops pnluco , is authority for
the stutoincnt thut no American woman
has ever received the golden rose The
distinguished prelate , writes a Now
York World man , stud to mo : ln the
whole history of the church I dent
think the number ot Golden Roses pre
sented exceeds twerity In every In
stance the I'ocipionLhus boon a lady of
royal birth und highest rank , * A low
ycan ago there wus a great donl of talk
about Mrs General Slibrmiin'H loses
Quito us often the favor wasdescrlbodiiB
a white rose , and in every inbtunco ob
coming from the Hply Father While
thuold wurrioruovor tooic the trouble
to contradict these rumors I huvo rea
son to know thut they uunoyod him I
once hoard u ludy ask him to doscrtbo
the Popes rose , und his nnswor was , 'I
enn't ' do it I never hcurd of that vari
ety * No , Mrs Sherman did not rocolvo
anything from the pope , although she
did n great donl of good , but not nny
more than thousands of wo mon are
doing In the church today The last
ludy , according to rumor , to
receive the Golden Rose is
Miss Gwondollno Caldwell , whoso
mngniflcont gilt to the church made
the Qatholio unlvordity in Maryland a
reality But it is only u rumor , for not
being of noble birth Mihs Caldwell is
deburrod The only tlmo on record
thut the rose cumo to America was n
few yeura uijo , when • the ex-Empress
Thorcsc of Brazil brought about the
frocdom of the uluvos throughout the
omplro When the news ronohod the
pope ho ordered the Gold Rose made ,
and un omlseury wus appointed to do-
llvor it , with nn autograph letter
Since her buuishinont from the throne
I dent know what may huvo become of
the proclous jewel , "
The pontlllual decoration was also bestowed -
stowed upon ox-Quoor. Isabella of Spain ,
ox-Empress Eugonio of Franco , the Em
press of Austriuund the reigning queen
of Spain , both of whom uro in mourn
ing It is a llttlo odd that so few people
plo , even in Cutholio circles , have a
correct ldon of what the Golden Rose
Is Instead of being a rose It is u rose
bush from six to nine inches in holglit ,
representing a ported plant , with its
follago , bud , half-blown und full-blown

A Piny lq nn Animated Picture
From Joseph . .TetTerson's autobiogra
phy now being published with pictures
in the Century is taken the following :
"I remember that durlntr tlio rehearsal
of the School for Scundnl' I wns imS ,
pressed with the idea that the perform
ance would not go well It is nlwuys a
difficult matter to oring a conipuuyjiJ .
great artists together for a night and
have them act In union with each ether ;
not from any ill fooling but
from the fuct thut they are
not nccustomod to play together
In a flno mochanicnl contrivance , the
ouso und perfection with which it works
often depend upon the fuct thut the cog
wheels huvo their different proportions
On this ocension they were ull identical
in bizo , highly polished , and well made
but not adapted to the same machinery ,
Seeing a hitch during the rehearsals in
ono of the important scones , I ventured ,
in my olllclnl capacity , to tnako
a suggestion to one of the old
actors Ho regarded mo with tv
cold , stony gnzo , ns though
I hud been at a great distance which I
was , both In ngo and in experience
and gave mo to understand that there
was but ono way to settle the mutter ,
and that that was his way Of course ,
as the company did not comprisa the
one rogulnrly under my management , I
felt that it would bo becoming ,
in me , to yield ; which I did , not , •
ho wo vor , without protesting thut the po
sition T took was the proper and only
ono , under the circumstances ; unit
when I suw the scene fail and virtually
go to pieces at night , I confess that I
felt some satisfaction in the knowledge
that my judgment hud boon correct In
fact , the whole entertainment , while it
had been a financial buccoss , wus an ar
tistic failure People wondered how so
mnny grout actors could muko a per
formunco go off so tnmoly
"Hnrmony is the most important , element -
mont in u work of nrt In this instance
euch piece of mosaic wns perfect in
