Day of the Tournament.
PLATTSMOUTII , Nob. . Juno 20. [ Special
to Tin : BKK.J The weather during the last
day of the tournament llko the first two
' clear , but very warm. In the morning the
visiting teams and strangers began tOjiissom-
blo on Main street , where at 11 o'clock ' the
vf'oi test was hold. Only thrco companies en
tered , and the F. K. White's No. 1 of Platts-
mouth won the prize , an elegant gold medal ;
time U7 seconds ,
Hun of 100 yards and got water The Ash-
lanil team pot no time , as owing to the great
pressure it blew the nozzle off.
In the afternoon tlio crowd was greater
than either proceeding day at the race , owing
to the fact Unit the Nevilles were to run
again for the championship curt and the free-
for-all huso nice would take place , when it
was confidently hoped and expected that the
world's record would bo broken. There were
runners here , champions of many status ,
who could not enter anything else.
The band contest was listened to by n largo
concourse of people and the music rendered
was elegant. Tlio Ancient Order of Hiber
nian hand of Omaha was awarded the first
prize , the City hand second and the Union
Pacific band third. The decision was fair
and well received.
Through the thrco days of the tournament ,
with the crowds that have been coming and
going , and taking into consideration that
there was a circus hero t > i first day , very
little thieving or crooked work was done.
Tile police have exerted every effort to keep
the loughs , who always attend such assem
blies , suppressed.
The visitors express themselves as well sat
isfied with our city and citizens , who have
made their visit a pleasant one.
The free-for-all race at 1 : ! ! 0 p. m. was as
follows : Hose race , purse , ? 100 ; first prize ,
JOO ; second prize , § 100 ; Wideawakes , Kafir-
no.v , ! KJ ! l-5 ; Coreorans , York , io time ; Ne
ville , Plattsmouth , 8'J 2-5. The Coreorans of
York made a balk hi coupling and no time
was given.
The Nevilles wore tiuiQd by many disinter
ested spectators , who caught their time at US.
They protested and the Judges would not lis
ten to them. They gnvo up in disgust and
would not run the state hose race.
The Nevilles claim the timekeepers were
paid , us it is known positively that ono judge
had a watch that would not run at the meet
ing of the. board of control tonight.
Kearney was awarded the state and free-
for-all raees. This again was protested , the
board states that the Nevilles wore loaded
with professionals and the .Nevilles claim the
Kearney team also had two professionals in
it. The rules distinctly say that a profes
sional is a man who makes a livelihood by
sprinting. It can bo proven \ty \ those rules
that thorn was not a professional on the
ground.
All the judges have not signed the de
cisions and they say nothing short of a man
damus will make them sign. Much dissatis
faction is expressed by all the teams on ac
count of the way the board inn the races.
Nebraska City was barred out of the free-
for-all on some pretext not yet made public.
There certainly was some collusion with the
board.
The couplers' contest to rules was won by
Tony Cornelius of Kearney. The ladder
climbing contest closed the day's sports ,
Gqthlngcr of the Nebraska City winning
over Walter Scott of the Plattsmouth team.
Time , average for throe trials , 74-5. The
contest was to run thirty vards and climb a
tulrty-fogt ladder against time.
The Yorks were granted u now trial In the
green race because of the breaking of their
hose ,

Death of C. 13. Moody.
Mr. C. E. Moody of this city died yester
day at Passadona , Cal. , where ho has been for
the past two months in a vain search for
health. The deceased was the proprietor of
the china store nt Sixteenth mid Davenport
streets , and was a successful business man.
Ho came to Omaha seven years ago and
"established the business which ho conducted
to the time of his death. For the past three
years ho had boon a sufferer from Bright's
disease of the kidneys , which caused his
death. Ho leaves a wife , but no children.

IN A GIRL'S Sl'UnlO.
Typical Surroundings of a "Girl
Bachelor" ol'tli'Dny.
I see there nro people who object to
the phrase "girl bachelor. " They ask
us to bo { rank tind sny "old maid. " But
when the msiid is a young one , not yet
twenty-six , there is no expression which
so well decribes for you her free and
independent existence , , says a Now York
letter to the Pittsburg Loader. A few
days ago I had a glimpse of a charming
girl's studio , decorated , I believe by the
girl. It is a room of moderate size in a
house which shelters a number of these
detached women. Most of them work at
one thing or nnotlun' and enjoy good in
comes. They form a delightful colony.
'rills' particular don is the abode of a
particularly clover young woman. The
HOOP is of bricks , painted yellow and
spread with rugs in shades of yellow and
brown. The walls have been washed in
a cloudy brown , the cllect of which is
rather ancient and mellow and al-
logother agreeable. Above this is a
frieze of yellow , on which are strokes of
quaint figures in brown. The coiling is
a creamy tint , splashed hero and there
with a ruddy light in old red or gold.
There is a firoplacu in one corner , built
of yellow bricks , and the windows are
curtained with soft woolen stuffs in
yellow. The chairs are in antique
shapes in yellow-brown oak , and a big
divan is heaped with cushions which
repeat the colors. Tlio wallb are hung
with etchings and these are in oak
frames. Over the doors there are
shelves' , and on these , and on the mantle ,
and in the window and in various odd
corners are brpwn and yellow jugs ,
which I last saw tilled with buuttorcups
nestled among' maiden-hair ferns. The
girl was serving ' lunch and she
spread it on a tawny yellow
otath and in yellowish Japanese
china. I do not suppose I have given
you an idea of the studio , but it is a
pretty don and illustrates the progress
of the girl bachelor. She is perhaps
you have guessed it red-headed and of
jxquisitoly fair complection. She wears
i tea gown of China silk of a warm cream
tone , with front of brown Do you un
derstand' now the significance of tire
color scheme ? The room is designed to
suit the skin of its owner and her curls.

'I hey Took In the Lions.
Rev. Dr. KOIT , pastor of the Common
LeveL church in llockford , 111. , tolls a
Chicago Tribune reporter that when ho
was in London recently , ho wont over to
Trafalgar square. Ho. saw the lions
about the monument as Landscor had di
rected. "While looking nt them a
countryman of the Josh Whitcomb typo
joined him. The great doctor of the
now mode of getting to heaven greeted
Ins countryman , and the two took in the
lions together.
"They ain't alike , " said the Yankee.
Dr. Kerr explained that it was not in
tended they should bo. "Thoro is one , "
ho said , "representing Peace England
at peace. Another peers outward. That
represents tlio idea of Manifest Destiny.
Another is an attitude of forooity , rep
resenting War. The fourth has its
young In its embrace- There is the idea
of Protection. "
The Yankee looked at the lions as the
preacher explained why it was that all
Lho lions were not made alike. Then
the Yankee kicked ono of the cast
animals. , and as hu did so an expression
of glee 'cnniu oveu his face.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
The Largest Graduating Oloaa Since th
roundation of the Institution ,
DIPLOMAS CONFERRED ON SIXTY-SIX
The Knaaytt , Orations , Kcoltatlons niu
musical lO.xcrclscH KcociTcd With
Appreciation by the Immense
Audience.
The Grand onorn house was filled to the
utmost last night by an nudlcnco which
desplto the temperature , listened with Inter
cat and attention to the fourth annual com
mcnccmcnt exercises of the Omaha high
school. The sixty-six members of the class
of ' 00 , the gentlemen In black , the ladies In
snowy white , slowly took their places upoi
the stage , marching In time with the music
of the orchestra , The llpwers , the class
colors , old gold and rose , the fluttering fans
the bright and Intelligent faces of the
graduates , gave the scene attractive am
cheerful appearance. At the loft nvo llttlo
flower girls , Winifred Gray , Ella Cotton ,
Grace Gapon , Blanche Ilosowater and IClttlo
Polaek , were seated only to bo Interrupted at
the close of every piece to carry the Innum
erable flowers to each triumphant speaker.
The exercises commenced with an essay
upon "Tho Music of the Future,1
read 'in n pleasing nnd gracofu'
manner by Aliss Minnie Burgland
Stio began by tracing the history of otrui
music from its birtli in Italy Italy whoso
language Is moloily. Melody , however , had
existed from the Genesis , ever slnco man per
ceived that ho could utter sounds in his efforts
to reproduce nature's harmonies. Thus
music , in the early ages , portrayed nature.
Grecian drama gave it a now impetus , but
there was nothing in Uomun music beyond a
coarse imitation. During the middle ages
there was a longing for the supernatural
which music alone could express. The human
voice was used to display the bo.mtlos of
sound , and meaningless words were sot to
music , making Italian opera a moro exhibi
tion of skill. It was against the omnipotence
of the singer that the German composers ,
under the leaa of Beethoven , protested. Bo-
fora this time musician and poet had acted
separately. Now the musician must bo a
poet.
ft remained for Wagner to carry on the
master's work. Ho invented nothing. Ho
collected and combined all the arts into ono
grand theme. In the Greek drama ho
found the chorus Imparting intensity.
Mozart taught him exquisite touch ;
Weber , the secret o'f pure melody ;
Beethoven supplied him with a powerful
music capable of holding in suspense a vast
throng of emotions ; Shuoert gave him free
dom of song ; Chopin , the magic elasticity of
chords ; Shakespeare , Goethe and Schiller
suggested his language. With these ho com
bined beauty of scenery. "Music is still tlio
youngest of the arts , yet already adopted ns
the national art of Germany. Soon it must
stand as the mightiest. For from the first ,
music is the ono touch of nature , making the
Whole world kin which lends a golden hue
to life's tide as it glides along. "
Mr. Arthur Montmorency followed with an
oration upon the "Franchise , " which ho de
livered with a clear and distinct voice.
" 'Wo hold these truths to bo self-evident
that all men are created equal. ' These
words , " said ho , "aro the guiding spirit of
the grand document in which they occur.
They were written under peculiar circum
stances by men who had submitted to n series
of persecutions. The change from political
subjugation to absolute freedom was a great
ono. Hudlcal measures would have been
natural. But they were not taken. Still
there was ono point in which a little more
conservatism would have been in place. This
was , In according , Indiscriminately , the right
to vote to all inaio citizens. Every man had
u voto.
"In recent times the advisability and justice
of this has been questioned. It Is certainly
not the best with a population such as ours
now is. Men who have nothing but what
they have on their backs borrow money and
emigrate to the United States. Hero they
work at miserable wages und do not associate
with English-speaking people. Yet these
men , In two to five years , become voters nnd
exercise the right of franchise.
"Tho result of this system Is that ono man
who employs many can control an election.
This condition of affairs should bo remedied.
It might bo partially prevented by a restric
tion of immigration. There are , however ,
many reasons why this would not bo wlso.
Bomo graduation of the suffrage must bo put
in force. Education Is hero not only free ,
but compulsory. So thoio can bo no taint of
injustice in nn educational requirement. No
person ought to exercise a privilege In oppo
sition to the Interests of the community.
Some object that a restriction of the suffrage
would deprive the lower classes qf Its edu
cating influence. What Is there in it ? Are
not the men whom the ballot educates these
who would educate themselves } Will not
the uneducated put forth every effort to
qualify themselves for the franchise !
"No aspoctof the question has received
moro attention than "woman's rights. " The
most logical objection to woman's ' exercise of
the franchise Is that her mental
construction is different from that of
man : that she Is impulsive. Might
not tlio impulse bo the correct ono ! All ob
jections to woman suffrage are easily disposed
of. There are no good and valid reasons why
Bomo women , nt least , should not voto. It
would undoubtedly bo dangerous to grant
suffrage to all women indiscriminately. Wo
must reform the ono evil before the other.
Our government Is now the most liberal upon
which the sun shines , but If these reforms
were accomplished , it would moro than over
bo a government of the people , by the people ,
and for thu people. "
The "Novelette" of Shnman given ns n
piano solo by Miss Harriet E. Brown showed
not only careful practice but also consider
able musical talent nnd clllelted a hearty
applause and many flowers.
The next exorcise consisted of the reading of
a well written essay entitled "Tho Use and
Abuse of Ambition , " by Miss Eugenia Get/-
nor.
nor.Miss Gotner called upon the muse for n defi
nition of her theme. It re-echoed that "am
bition Is n glorious cheat , a spell that murders
sleep and in his victim's ear whispers a death
less word. The hoary ages of the past stand
to show that ambition is the most essential
quality of the human mind. By Its mighty
haui ] , It lifts an otherwise Indifferent medlocro
to the level of a Cajsar or a Cicero. Truly , then ,
the destructlvoolTect of ambit Ion has not arisen
from its use but solely from its abuse. It is
the procurer of evil ns well ns ttio almoner of
good. Yet her victims bow before the shrine
Of their devotion for the praises of the world
today , tomorrow its execrations.
"In biblical times oven the angels were
prey to ambition's nil-pervading Influence.
From the expulsion of man from Eden , the
retrogression of human nature began , until
ho became llttlo moro than a beast of the for
est. From this state , ambition alone was able
to excite and nrgo him. But with civilization
man learned to abuse the hand that led him. "
The speaker then considered the motives
which inspired some illustrious men of his
tory. Alexander was led by love of glory.
Ciusnr was ambitious. Napoleon Bonaparte
was a zealous devotee of this vice. How dif
ferent was the motive whluh Inspired Wash
ington. No pure love of liberty could have
inducou man to bravo these storms. Thus
ambition has caused the downfall of muuy a
man In the midst of Booming pros'p'orlty and
renown , and lmi been prone to sting the most
devoted yet abused sluvai , Yet overv lasting
victory , every reformation , every fnvqntlon
niul discovery Is butr the outcome of. dUel-
pllned ambition.
Mr. Larimoro Dcntso then recited with
much spirit the fiery description of tlio char-
lot race la Ben Hur ,
"Is the modern heroine born or made , must
she wait for thu opportunity ui make-It Her
self ! " With this ( lueUIon Miss 'Alleo II.
Howell commenced her oasay ujwa itho
"Modern Horolno. " "From thooarllosttlniM
history Is full of heroic women. But tluxdln
ofviir surround ; ) them. In the story of their
lives the modern heroine will find llttlo to In-
splro and much to repel. It may bo by genius
or mercy that these nanuu are Inserlbod on
the annals of fame , but In each cane It U thu
manifestation of an heroic puri > o o. I'erhaps
nowhere has the courage to dare and do , been
more strlliinly Illustrated than In the manner
In which the uiodum heroin u has worked her
way up to nTglior education. Even In the "time

"But whi 11 to become of the steady-
Roing ovoriyfday girls ! May nny , may

been customary to extol the pilgrim fathers.

ation. She will make her homo a place of
welcome to all. She will bo familiar with the
current of contemporary thought. Here ,
surely , la work to bo done by the modern
heroine and she may seek none other , none
higher. "
Mr. Fred S. Nnvo then appeared nt the
front of the stage nnd proceeded to discuss
ono of our "American problems. "
"In the history of the United States many
problems have troubled American statesmen.
Now , as before , statesmen are confronted bv
grave Issues. That of forelgnlsm is ono well
worthy of attention. In order to populate the
vast unpeopled domain of this land , the gov
ernment not only Invited but even persuaded
members of all nations to como and settle it.
The prize of office nnd of citizenship was
added to other allurements. Thesapromlscs
made were religiously kept. In the earlier
times the immigrants were honost.industrlous
ixjoplo with good motives and high alms. But
latterly the character of the incoming horde
has changed. Paupers , vagrants , conslrators
and a great moss of nondescripts have
thronged to our shores. Through it own gen
erosity our nation has Introduced not only
elements of weakness but others menacing
the stability of our free Institutions. No gov
ernment on earth except our own grants an
universal suffrage even to its own sons , much
less to Its alien population. To conciliate
the foreign vote is tlio aim of all parties. So
that clement now determines which side of
the political balance shall go down. To catch
these various voted , each party puts a plank
into its platform declaring Its firm belief In
'Homo llulo for Ireland' or other measures.
But nothing Is dpno to conciliate the Ameri
can voto. Many foreigners are nn honor to
the hind of their adoption. But for the bone-
lit of those , should the vast and uneducated
majority become voters to the hurt of our
country !
"But what can bo done ! Many ways have
been suggested. Let longer residence bo re
quired Iwfore citizenship Is conferred.
American boys wait twenty-one years ; why
should not aliens do the same ! Require
education and good character qualifications.
If these measures were adopted , our country
would bo truly a refuge for the oppressed.
Then might wo surely hope to perpetuate tea
a thousand generations the liberties of a
great people , frco but at the same time self
governed. "
A musical interlude was greatly npprcci-
ntcd bv the audience in the piano duct.
"Postillion D'Amour ' , " exquisitely rendered
by Misses Elizabeth Llddoll and Paulina Col-
lott , nnd each of the fair pianists was re
quired to bow a reply to the applause.
Miss Edna Ha'ruoy followed with n fine
recitation of i tlio't well known story of John
Burns nt Gettysburg as quaintly told in ono
of Bret Harte's poems.
Miss Louise F. Holtorf gnvo two vocal se
lections , "Spring\ind Autumn , " by Poruzzi ,
nnd a "Voniti'an ' , Boat Song , " by Blumen-
tlnil , giving evidence of a well-trained , sweet ,
and pleasinir voice. The nudicncb was not
satisfied until an- extra bow had been given In
recognition of its bnthusinsm.
f The closing literary exercise of the even
ing was given by Mr. Harry L. Akin. In a
masterly mhnnor. ho presented nn oration
upon the "Pardoning Power , " prepared and
delivered with care.
"It has been taken for granted , " said bo ,
"that no valid objection could be made to the
; heory of the pardoning power. The gover
nors of most slate , * have the right to pardon
criminals , for i thu exercise of which rights
; hey are not obliged to give the reasons in-
luoncing them' . According to the American
dca , no net 'for'whieh ' ' i-easons cannot bo
given ought to stand. After throwing difll-
cultios about conviction , after giving a pre
sumption of Inmx'onco. wo give the convict
iborty to porsuaao the executive by any
neans in his power to forgive him. The flrst
iroccedings have been public. But no sooner
ms sentence been pronounced than a differ
ent scene begins. The council for the defense
exerts all power to obtain a pardon. Peti
tions are circulated and signed for the same
) urposo. Tlieu the soigo begins. Every at-
empt Is made to influence the governor's
eelfngs. The final judge remembers that no
ustlflcation of a pardon is required and it is
jranted.
"Tho chief end of punishment is the public
vclfaro. Its most salutary Ingredient is its
certainty. Wo cannot abolish the pardoning
> owcr altogether ; for Innocent men may bo
convicted. But even in these cases the pir- :
loning power Is often misused. To provide
or instances where an innocent man may bo
condemned , or a slight offense bo visited with
oo severe a penalty , let us have a court of
evislon. Then whether the prisoner bo richer
or pool1 , if ho is able to produce evidence of
vrongful conviction , lot him bo vindicated.
V pardon is usually regarded as an act of
clemency , an indulgence truly an innocent
man wants no such pardon. What ho do-
nands Is justice , not indulgence. "
As evidence of the four years of consclen-
.Sous study la the high school , Hon. C. F.

TRYING TO PROVE .HIM CRAZY ,
Trial of Pat Orowo for Attempted Murder In
Chicago Almost Over ,
RATHER A POOR SHOWING MADE ,
Ills Attorneys Have but a Slender
Thread of JSvldenco to AVork
On Ills KelnHves Stand
by Him.
CIIICAOO , Juno 20. [ Special TMcgrnm to
Tun Br.K.j The case of Patrick Crowe ,
charged with nn assault with nn intent to kill
Oftlcer Isaac Milton Llavlllc , was concluded
shortly after noon today , as far ns the cvl
dcnco was concerned , and Assistant State
Attorney Wesley began his opening address
nt ! 3 o'clock. Half a dozen witnesses were
called by the defense during the
morning to patch up the claim of
Crowe's Insanity , but their evidence
was so slight that the state did
not think It necessary to offer anything In
rebuttal , The defendant himself was not put
on the stand , but sat quietly behind his
counsel during the-sosslon. But It was hard
to look llko a lunatic , nnd not succeeding
very well , W. L. Gllhooly , conductor on the
street railway in Omaha for which Grown
worked last summer , said that after the lat
ter waa hurt In an accident In September ho
acted crazy. Ho would go In his car and nsk
lady passengers If ho could make love to
them.
Patrick Crowe , sr. , father of the defendant ,
said his son was twenty-one years old ami
was never In a shooting scrape nnd never
stole anything before. Ho loft homo this
spring one night because hh wife would not
leave the house with him. Ho Jumped out of
the window nnd fired two shots into the
house.
Mary Vaughn , the defendant's sister ,
thought her brother was crazy und also an
other brother Anthony , who Is working now ,
however , for Armour & Co.
Orrln Quaekcnboar , u carpenter who had
worked for Crowo , thought the latter was
crazy because ho had talked and acted
strangely In paying him.
Several witnesses testified to Crowe's good
reason before ho came to Chicago in Feb
ruary and the case was closed.
On this slender thread of evidence Mr.
Gannon of Omaha and Mr. W. A. Foster will
endeavor to convince the jury that Crowo
should not bo held responsible for his
desperate acts.
The case will bo given to the jury In Judge
Grinnell's court some time tomorrow and it
is not believed that it will take them long to
dispose of the plea of the defense that ho was
insane when ho shot and tried to kill Isaac
M. Linvillo. The defense concluded their
case today and Assistant State's Attorney
Jseely uid not think it necessary to offer any
thing in rebuttal. Ho began his opening ar
gument at 'J o'clock and M. V. Gannon of
Omaha followed for the defendant
Half a dozen witnesses were heard on
Crowe's behalf , nnd all advanced more or less
rluuslblo reasons for believing that hoW3
insane.
Charles Hnsbrook , an Omaha druggist ,
considered him crazy , because the prisoner
told htm a few days before ho came to Chicago
cage that ho was going to buy out Armour's
packing houso.
In his opening speech Mr. Neoly contended
that Crowe was not crazy , but a wicked , des
perate , cool-headed young man who had laid
his evil plans carefully in advance of their
execution. The prisoner's remarks after his
arrest , that "they can't hang mo If Brisooo
does die. " proved that.
Mr. Cannon went over the evidence from
the opposite point of view , making a plausible
argument on the theory of Crowe's Insanity.
Ho insisted that it had been proven beyond
any reasonable doubt.
SHE TIIHKW HIM OVKK.
A Professional Hotel Worker's Girl
Getp Him Into SerioiiH Trouble.
Sam II. Williams , a professional hotel
worker from Kansas City , is In the Omaha
jail , and It all comes about on account of his
best girl , Emma Blackmail , of the same place ,
having thrown him over.
Williams has a good game , nnd ono that ,
when he is not in jail , ought to bring him in a
good revenue.
Monday morning , clean shaved and dressed
In n suit of stylish clothes , ho struck the Paxton -
ton hotel and ordered the beat room in the
house , I'opresoiiting that ho was traveling for
Bullmire , Moores , Emery & Co. , wholesale
dry goods dealers of Kansas City , and was
working up a great Omaha trade. During
the afternoon ho Informed Air. Sherman , the
day clerk , that ho was a llttlo pressed for
money , and it would bo a great accommoda
tion if ho would cash n § 100 cheek on the
homo house. Mr. Sherman was suspicious ,
so Williams telegraphed , addressing the mes
sage to ! i.l West Fourth street , which was
the residence number of the Blackmail
woman. She , however , failed to do her duty
by not telegraphing back that the check was
O. K.
The telegram was handed over to Chief
Spears , and after interviewing the firm ho
telegraphed Chief Seavey to arrest Williams ,
as ho was wanted for hotel beating.
The fact that the woman has gone back on
Williams Is mauo clear by the correspondence
which she has hud with tlio young man , and
which is now in the hands of the pollco. In
the latter she is instructed to receive all tele
grams and letters sent to Bnllmiro , Moore ,
Emory & Co. , and in answering them state
that Williams' drafts will always bo honored.
Mnttliowfi in n Critical Condition.
John Matthews , the farmer from La
Monte , who was slugged by Fred Hunslekor ,

pletely lost the power of speech. The case
against the saloon man comes on for trial this

A Now VorkSociety Girl Followed Her
Hetrotlird in a Call.
Miss Alice Hastings is one of the most
pronounced belles of the season , says aNew
Now York dispatch to the San Francisco
Examiner. She is nineteen vours of ngo ,
a decided blonde , witli pearly tcoth and
golden tresses , and she resides on Fifth
avenue near the reservoir.
Johnor as ho is more familiarly known
"Jack" Watson , is twonty-tliroo years of--
ago , a son of a retired stockbroker , and
when in town makes the Gilsey house hia
headquarters.
The young man is widely known about
town by reason of his handsome appear
ance , his swagger , his English clothes
and his good-fellowship.
Until recently Louis Hastings and
.Tack Watson were the bust of friends ,
and following the natural course of
events , young Hastings invited Watson
to call at his homo.
This was early in March and a wnwi %
friendship at once sprung up botwooiiV
Alice Hastings and Jack Watson. Since \t
then the young couple have boon seen ' * >
almost continually together , and it was
an open secret that they wore to bo mar
ried in the fall.
Of late , however , young Watson is al
leged to have grossly neglected his
fair Hanceo , lavishing instead his alToc-
tions , together with pretty bouquets ,
costly rings and toothsome hon bens ,
upon'one of the fair chorus girls in an
uptown theater whore comic opera reigns
supremo. '
Recently Miss Hastings became suspifa *
cious that her handsome cavalier was
playing her false , and therefore , in con
junction with her brother Louis , she
laid in wait in a coupe ono night about
Iwo weeks ago opposite the stage door of
tlio theater.
After the performance the Murray
Hill belle evinced the most poignant
grief when she behold her aflianced
husband assist her pretty rival Into ,
hansom cab. '
Watson was just about to follow when
young Jlastlngs sprang from the coupe ,
and running across the street , smote his
sister's betrothed on the face with a
glove , as ho exclaimed :
"Coward , you have broken Alice's
heart. You may consider your engage
ment at an end. Henceforth you need
not resort to subterfuge to drive around
town with your painted beauty. "
The men glared at each other floiroly
for a moment , and Jack Watson raised
his hand to strike Ills chum , but the
spectators of this strange scene inter
fered and bundled young Hastings back
into his coupe.
Two days later Watson loft suddenly
for Europe. Buforo sailing ho sent Miss
Hustings a threatening note and fol
lowed this up with a summons in a suit
for 8iW,00 ( ) damages for breach o
promise.
Miss Hastings has placed tlio matter
in tlio hnndi of her lawyer , Silas M.
Stillwoll , who says ho will have young
Watson arrested on his return to tills
city for having sent his client a vile and
threatening letter through the mails.
Stanley' * Dominion.
The Congo free stale , over which

Through it runs the magnificent

800 miles from tlio sea. Tlion come
the cataracts , around which a railway is
boliig constructed to Lcopoldvillo , the

mlles distant , there is good navigation.
It is constituted under the terms of tlio
