Yesterday afternoon Governor Thnye :
elfjned ttio paper that made Warren Clouch
the convict , n free mnn at noon today. Tin
olil man did not hoar of tlio governor's tied
fllon until today. This morning bo nrosi
from his iron couch ns usual , donned the cor
vlct gnrh that bo has unjustly worn for llf
teen years nnd entered upon the dally tas
Imposed upon him. lie know tlintsoinothln.
of nn effort was belli tr made to sucnro hi
freedom , but did not know how It was pro
grossing.
At 0 o'clock ' ho was called Into the ward
on's olllco mid there was told that iu thro
Lours ho would bo a frco man.
The effect can bottorbo imagined than do
ncrlbod , His tongue \vns pimllzod forth
in&inent and tears of Joy trickled down th' '
old man's ' cheeks. IIo thankfully rocelvoi
the congratulAtlotis of the warden and til
auistniits. The hateful convict garb wns ro-
inoved and instead was suhitituted a line
suit of ulothcs. The transformation was
wonderful. Warren ClouKU aftcrboinp un
justly burled alive for JUtcon years wns him
self tigaln. Tbo frco AVarrcn Clough looked
llko a congressman or unreal capitalist , and
n person looking Into that kindly face and at
the tull and well proportioned JlKUro would
never believe that ho bail been llttcen yours
in prison. Tbo consciousness that he was an
innoceut man suffering the penalty thnt
should luivo boon mated to hU brother's mur
ders lnul left its impress on his isoblo face
nml bad developed a"gentlc ! dignity that will
innlco him friends overywlicro.
Mr. Clouith was then driven to the depot
by Hlchard Norval , brother of the Judge of
the BUpromo court , who has done a great deal
to prove Clouijh's Innocenco. The depot was
crowded , but Clough attracted unusual at-
tcntio : : by his distlnguhhed appearance , al
though but few know nhohowiM. In com
pany with Attorney Norvul Mr. Clough wont
on the noon train to Sewnrd , which he left
fifteen years agon purported convict. Tbo
suddenness of the pardon has notflvon him
any chance to formulate his plaits for tno
future.
The misfortune that most weighed upon
the old man's mind during his incarroration
was the fact thnt his \\lfo liaa secured a divorce -
vorco during his Imprisonment ami married
again , and when hostepped forth today vin
dicated the partner of his early years was not
at tbo prison doors to ( 'reet him and sliuro
with him the Joys of freedom.
Within the post few weeks some Important
testimony lias been developed , showing that
Jacob Trout nnd Clmrlos Wilcox , both iu ttio
emploj'of Wnrron dough nt the time , wcro
the real murderers , Iloth Trent and Wilcox
were afterwards sent to tbo penitentiary for
other cilmes and both died in pilson > eirs :
ago. At ono tlmo la n lit of cotilldcnco Trent
told Judge .Mason that Clough was an luno-
rent man nnd if the worst came ho would toll
nil , Hoforo 1m could tull all ho suddenly died
with heart iliiciisoln the ponltonthry.

It Is a IlcllglDiis Ceremony Am imp the
Southern Itidliiiis.
"Benjamin llrlnk , MoquI , Arl. , " was
written on the register nt the Palmer
IIOUBO in Chicago the other day by a ro
bust-looking' man of sixty , somewhat
wlmtbtooD-shouldoroil. Mr. Brink is mi
Indian tnulut * . and 113 Moiul la ninety
inllos away from the Pacitto rallro.id , ho
says ho did not hour about the tfoublo
uiuoiiL' the Indiana in the northwest
unt/il four days ago.
"From what I hnvo hoard of the
'irhostdunco , ' "said Mr. Brink to a reporter -
porter for the Tribune. "I cannot see
uhy It should stir up such n row. The
'snako dnnco , ' I believe , is ton times
moro exciting' , und the Jiani , Navajo and
MoquI Indians on the reservation near
my homo work thoinsolves into a perfect
frenzy during Its progress , but never
think of molesting the whites.
"It Is a part of their religion , though ,
and if uny attempt were made to stop It
I believe there would bo bloodshed.
The dunce takes place once in two
years. The last one was celebrated In
July. Preparations were made several
weeks before it cama off , and I was us
anxious to bo n spectator as they woro.
A stranger or wilder ceremony I never
saw. I hope I shall never sco it again.
The dance took place just before sun
down , and I got up on a little ledge
where I could got a good , vlow. The
space allowed for the dancers was not
largo and was Inclosed. Fifteen flno-
looking Indians began to walk rather
slowly nt llrst around a hupro stone in the
ci-ntor of the inclosuro. They were al
most naked , and every part of their bodies
ies , oven to their feet , was smeivrod with
a red and grocn paint. Each
man had a fox's scalp dangling from
his waist and in each hand carried 11
rattle macio of a , gourd. Hoofs of door
wore tied nround their ankles and wrists
and utoachbtepaud movement of the
arm noise enough was made to wako the
dead.
"Tho sankos to bo used in the dance
hue boon caught several days before the
fete , and just before the dnnco , had boon
placed in a cluster of trees beneath
which I stood. After the men had
yelled until they were lioarso and had
made themselves tired with stamping
the ground , fifty more painted
redskins cama rushing dowa a hill ,
lllod Into the incloduro , and then began
such a tumult ns I never want to hoar
again. At a given signal the sixty-five
now thoroughly frantic men made a rush
for the grove where the snakes were
hidden. Each man came rushing back
with a wriggling and squirming snake ,
its nook between his teeth so it could not
bite him , ro-ontorod the ring and began
a slow walk around the cuntor-stono.
The reptiles hissed nnd ilashod their
tails and bodies around the necks of the
apparently mad red men. Several of
thorn were bitten by the siuiljes , which
wcro the most venomous In the coun
try. It is n wonder till of the perform
ers were not bitten. Two of them died
iv clay or two after the dance , the herbs
anpliod not being suBlciont to draw out
the nulson.
"After the ceremony each man
snatched hissnnko from his mouth , ran
down into the valley below , and there
the reptiles were sot free. The Indians
were thoroughly exhausted after their
violent oxorelso and could scarcely
crawl back up the hill. From what I
could learn such ceremonies as the
'snake dance have boon hold for centu
ries. "

The rirla who have stopped , from the

responsible for the government , the

the next generation will experience.
This may sound llko n startling state
ment , but It is true , says a writer in the
Philadelphia Press. AVithout question
our population will continue to bo In
creased by immigration , but the Ameri
can young women of today will decide
the futuroof this great country , for they
are to bo by n vast majority tlio wives
nnd mothers of future voters. And the
mother of two boys has double the voting
'power of her husband.Vomon'vrltos '
Ucnun , "aro tlio spiritual trustees of our
race , "
And what is mount by the "future of
America,1' for which you will bo In such
great measure responsible ? It is Idle to
listlessly Imagine that the United States
have nearly reached their full develop
ment. The swaddljng clothes have boon
dispensed with , but knickerbockers ami
roundabouts are still in uso. The land
hus grown with marvelous rapidity , nnd
Is now as the long lanky youth , probably
It will never iigain move forward with
such tremendous strides , but the
strength , the breadth , the manly devel
op ment is yet to como. The young1 people
ple of today especially the girls will
cause ours' to be either the grandest ,
the greatest , the most magnificent
nation ever seen on earth , or ono llko
others which have enjoyed partial su
premacy , and that but for a bhort time.
It is dilllcult to realize all that is In
cluded in "tho future of America."ally
it is meant not merely the legislation at
"Washington , und throughout the vari
ous states , counties , and cities , for ns
Salvini recently said to the writer : "All
the world looks to this country for the
future development of art. "
This is the virgin field ; it hus boon
tilled somewhat , and a few great lights
have sprung up and illuminated the
world. Eut with free nmalgumutlon of
races and unsurpassed diffusion of frco
education , America Is capable of produc
ing ; a galaxy of poets , painters , authors ,
musicians , actors , business mid profes
sional men and women , singers , invent
ors , financiers and statesmen such us the
world has never soon ; and the world ox-
jiocts of America this production. The
future belongs to the western hemisjihero ;
nnd the hitter's guardian is the United
States.
"And yet , " you say , "what have I to
do with realizing this grand possi
bility ? "
Young women have everything to do
with it If you tire the mother of ono
child , or if you shall bo auoh , more than
anyone else you will make him a truth
ful or a deceitful man , an honest or n
dishonest woman. You wHl tmvo the
power to muko that child nn upright ,
educated , hono.tod member of society , era
a prrnsito upon the community. Think
of the transcendent Influence 'which has
boon wielded by individual mon and
women. Iinaplno , if possible , what
could bo accomplished if only the girls
and boys who loft school and college last
Juno , should realize what depends upon
their future lives. Yet , nine chances to
ono , your children will never rise ubovo
mediocrity unless you , yourself , do to.
And therein lies the practical point of
those suggestions.
The first year a girl loaves school or
college decides to a great degree
whether she will rise to bo honored and
respected or sink to the moral , physical
level of those who comuoso the average
of American society. During those six
months a girl's mind is in a peculiarly
receptive condition , but alasl in most
cases this nppotlto for the acquiremen
of knowledge disappears when the
teacher's spur is withdrawn. This ,
however , is not always the case , us the
following instance will prove ;
There nro In Eoston today four
women , leaders in the most exclusive
society. They are recognized us women
of real intellect and brilliancy , and
tlio influence they have wielded
has boon enormous. Tweuty-iivn
years ago last Juno these fourgruuatod
from the sarno class in the Biimo semi
nary. They had been old friends , and
their parents were persons of education
and ability. For several weeds before
graduation those girls had boon talking
about their possible futures , and they
made up their minds that their livoi
would not bo wasted altogether. Thoi
agreed to moot once a week for Severn"
hours of real study , and they carried ou
the plan , A course in history wn
mapped out , and when the dny arrive"
the mmrtolto came together. Ono roa
aloud and the others listened attentively
sometimes sowing , sometimes makini
notes for future reference , always stoi :
ping for the discussion of passages who
necessary. "Week after week aau mont
after month they mot thus. Gradual ! . ,
they became known nnd appreciated.
All married , and by a coincidence all
lived In or near by I5oston ,
Twenty years from the time they
graduated ono of these women said that
in nil that tlmo not u single wcok had
passed but at least two of them mot and
continued reading together ; most of the
time throe were present nnd at half the
meetings all four were thoro. Thla case
is us remarkable us it is true.
Another.
Now England owes part of tlio prestige
of her schools to u man whoso name is
known to history , especially In connec
tion with revolutionary alTairs Judge
Phillips , who founded the famous
academies ut IC.xotorund Andover , which
bear his inuno. The grand-daughter of
this man , Tdino. Clements , Inherited her
ancestor's intellect nnd love for study ,
She married a poor man , and had no
money of her own , for her grandfather ,
while ho lived , had given his
grcut fortune for liberty nnd edu
cation. Her husband never accumu
lated moneyed wealth , and she was com
pelled for u score of yours to perform
her own housework and do her own
cooking , She was so bright , however ,
as to reall/.o whut this drudgery would
loud her to if it were not enlivened by
mental rest und rncroation ; so she de
cided that nt least ono nour a day should
bo spent in study. She was the mother
of several children , and iu caring for
thorn she worked all duy and frequently
much of the night , Hut she never gave
uji her plan of rending. It was by no
moans uncommon for her to pick up u
work on history , philosophy or econo
mics at IU or oven 11 o'clock at night
und sit down for her most enjoyable hour.
The result was that Madame Ulomonts
became u learned woman , whoso society
was sought , whoso friendship was cher
ished by the roojiji prominent people
in Now Knglnmu. Instead ot aid
ing household cares to fatigue
hor. that hour ijf study kept nor
mind bright , actlvo ( eager for more
knowledge. She IJ.VI.M ! to old uge , and
left several children , In wlmm her Influ
ence and counsel' ) are plainly evident.
This woman's valutTto the community in
hlch she lived crin never bo estimated.
There are many among the renders of
10 Press who could follow her example
they would only.mako . the effort ,
"wo nro willing. " " you bay , "but how
inn we start ? "
There are a thousand Ideas , any of
hlch might bo curried out. You are
ionvorsutit with the few greatest
.tithors that the world has produced ?
f not , start in to make the ac-
untntance of. half , a dozen dur-
ig the coining winter. Do you
now .how to write n chock , or
note payable in sixty days ?
L k your father or brother to take
ou to the bunk the next tlmo ho goes ,
nd to oxolaln the mysterious processes.
Jan you make a pin in cake und not have
b turn out a puddlngV Do you know how
ho congressman In your district was
lected and what his duties are ? Have
ou a taste for music , nnd do you really
ivork or merely practice on the piano
wo or three tlrnos a week whotiovoryou
'feel in the mood ? ' Can you walk live
miles without exhaustion and then go to
'led and sleep for ton hours ? Do you
enow how to dross becomingly and add
.o your good looks ? If not you would
better acquire the art.
Do you Know who is at the head of the
governments of r'ranco , Switzerland ,
Russia , Turkey , Afghanistan ? What
does Mr. Secretary Blulno moan by his
reciprocity plan ? Can you tell at sight
oproductlonsof mastorplecos by Angola ,
lombrandt , Rubens ? What do you know
if the greatest composers , poets , Invent
ors , theologians , scientists ?
The average girl who sits down nnd
calmly runs ever u list of the few things
iho does not know is apt to exclaim :
'Good gruel oust there's no use in try-
ng. " Yet it has been truly said that a
iiorsoa who pursues a single study for
: wonty minutes u day during twenty
years may bo an authority in his chosoii
ivork.
An excellent way to begin is to join a
.ocal assembly of the Cliautauqua htor-
ary and sniontllle circle. These organi
zations exist in every part of the land
and auyono may become a member. The
expense is trilling , the courses of study
laid ot are exceedingly interesting otid
most excellent.
So much for the young \fornan who
does not have to earn her own living.
But the girl employed in olllco , store or
factory bus just us good , a uhanco , and
she usually progresses with far greater
rapidity , for she upprocintos the value
pf spare moments.
In this country it makes Httlo diffor-
ouco what your work may bo , so long as
it is honestly performed. At twenty
years of ago the author of "Little
women" was for a time a domestic serv
ant in the employ of a family who paid
her the munificent salary of S2.50 per
week. Do you think the experience in
jured the solf-rospcet of Miss Alcott ?
She succeeded because she worked hard ,
and regulated her hours of labor and
recreation.
That is the koynpto of success.
Got to work this winter , but plan your
work , and respect the regularity. If
you can cook dainty little dishes you
can sell them. If jou cun draw clever
pictures the capers will eagerly pay for
thorn. If you can write bright , original
stories , essays , sketches , or gossipy let
ters editors all ever the land will accept
thorn und hungrily ask for moro. Are
you able to compose a "cutchy" little
waltz or song ? Do not fear that music
publishers will ovoilook it. If you can
do anything' well you caii got well paid
for it.
A few yours ago n certain young girl
was loft a penniless orphan In a town in
western Now York. Not knowing where
she could go or what she could possibly
do to ourn nor living , the asked advlco
from an old f riond of her mother's. The
lady said : "Now , whut can you do ?
The girl burst Into tears and cried : "I
never had to do anything , and I can't do
uny thing. "
"But think n moment , " continued her
adviser. "Thoro surely must bo someone
ono thing that you can do everybody
can do something. "
The girl thought for a few minutes ,
nnd then said the only thing she could
do wns to make paper dolls.
"All right , " replied the friend , "you
make u few just as pretty and nice as you
possibly can , nnd I will take them to
certain store and sell them for vou. "
Tlio plan wns carried out. Tlio first
batch of dolls sold nt once , and the store
uskcd for moro. Today that girl em
ploys six or seven asslstunts , and her
paper dolls nro sold all ever the coun

A ROOD r.M-U'MANT SHOOT.
Two Coylou Pneliydorini
Down M'ltli Two Sueoumlvo Shots.
"Wo were oloplinnt hunting inCoylon.
Alter about throe-quarters of an hour's
very careful stalking wo got up to within
vlow of uti elephant , writes J. E. S. In
the London Field , \Vlien within tun
yards I could muko out the elephant's
brad the mottled murks on his fore
head were clearly visible as ho turned
toward mo. lie had evidently from his
"johavlor not winded us , which was cu-
iou8. Hud ho done so ho would have
liarged , or , which Is moro likely , have
oiled olT panic-strieken , I saw a splcn-
id chance of the front phot , and druw-
ng a careful sight on him , squeezed the
rigger ot the right barrel.
The smoke from the heavy charge of
owdor for a few bocomls hung1 about in
ho close ulr and thick bushes to such
, n oxtoat Unit I could not know at once
vlmt Iho result of the shot was. Just
, s the sinoko cleared I saw my elephant ,
, s I thought , in tlio sumo place , and I
irod my left barrel ut htm. This tlmo
,11 umnlstakublo sound told mo that ho
vns down. Another brief sp.ico of u few
nomonts and I saw that there were two
lophnnts on the ground before mo. The
Irst elephant was perfectly dead ; ho
ind sunk quietly down on his knees and
, -us resting on till fours , with his trunk
vrlly curled under him.
Tlio second olophunt had nlso fallen
in its knees and Us body was pressed
gainst that pf the first elephant. It
PUS not quito dead and the trunk was
lightly swftying to and fro ; but two bul-
ots from the fowllng-pieco put it out of
ts agony. Both 01 those elephants are
'ull ' grown. The one killed with the
Irst shot wns. an old hull , standing , as
.lour ns wo could measure it , eight feet
at the bhouldor ; the second was a full-
rown cow about seven foot in height.
The interval between the two shots was
/ory brief , only a/ few seconds of time ;
jut in that interval the cow , who must
iivvo been close to the hull , had come
vnd stood clpso to her fallen mate.
lloforo firing I saw ono elephant only ,
, ho bull , and had no idea that any other
ilephant was close by ; but this may bo
ixplaincd from the fact that the place
vas a thlok , bushy jungle. Both anl-
nals were killed with the front shot.
Tlio only part of this Incident which
nay bo said to bo curious Is that the
iccond elephant , the female , should
lave stood where she did after the first
hot was fired.
The case Is not without precedent In
, ho ann.ils of elephant shooting in Co\-
on. Some thirteen or fourteen years
igo , to the best of my recollection , Mr.
3111s of the Ceylon civil service shot
hroo different elephants in this way ,
believing all the time that ho was firing
at the bamo elephant.

Until recently the household of Judge
Maitina has rejoiced in the possession
of a particularly cflickmt nnd valued
cook , says the New York Evening Sun.
Ilowovor , a few weeks ago the coolt
came to her mistress nnd asked to bo al-
owed to go to the wako of a very dear
'ricnd. She wont , and returned the
next day , looking sad but resigned , and
ns if life might btill bo not altogether
ivithout compensations.
Five weeks later she came into the
dining room ono morning after breakfast
and announced :
"In a wcok I'll bo luvln1 ye for once
an' nil. Missis Marti no. "
' 'Why , Mary , what's the trouble ?
Haven't you been well treated ? " asked
her mistress.
"Oh , yls , mum , " quoth Mary , "it's
not that , I'm going to bo married ,
mum. "
"Married , Mary ! Why , where did
you meet the man ? "
"D'yo ' mind the wake I was to not long
ago , mum ? I met him thcur , " answered
Mary.
"And who Is the gentleman , Mary ? '
"lie's the corpse's husband , mum "
Domesticity oC om JMill
Some of the millionaires of this city
are especially domestic in their tastes ,
says Frank Leslie's Illustrated Now *
paper. Thus , Mr. Jay Gould is said to
bo never so happy as ut his own fireside
in the enjoyment of the companionship
of his family nnd his books. When ho
resided some years ago on tlio Now Jersey
soy coast , It was quito common to see
him playing with his children in the
sand on the bouch. Cyrus W. Field ,
always a homo-lover , is bald to
bo just now giving his attention
to the raising of chickens on
his farm at Ardsloy , which interests him
quito us much as the project of the At
lantic cable did twohty-iivo years ago.
Ho has bovoral acres of his farm planted
with sunllowors , which are used as feed
for his poultry. Russell Sago is also
fond of homo life. lie is known as tin
early riser , and is said never to have
failed to take u morning drive , except
