caused to mu ouisido "picnickers" who came
In contact with tho bouuhs or trees projecting

avoid being brushed and having their hats
tossed Into tho road. Even then some got
rather rough usually causing the musician

WHY HIS l'HI. I..
Tho Times-Democrat Correspondent Hives
e'ome Interesting Details of Ex-
Marshal ltiusell.
The Dallas correspondent of the New Or-
leans Times-Democrat writes that paper as
follows:
The conviction of Stillwell II. Russell ex-
United States Marshal o( Western Texas and
his condemnation to the penircntiary pro-
duced more than an ordinary sensation in
Texas not to say surprise. Ever since the
war the different Presidents.have been iu the
habit of picking up bummers and scruff of bad
reputations at home commissioning and billet-
ing them upon the people of Texas. Ninety-
nine rascals have escaped and Russell is con-
victed. Russell owes his downfall to wine
and women. It's the old old story. A va-
riety actress nightly appears before the foot-
lights of Dallas and an audience often in
the clutches of the police and grand juries
who openly boasts of wearing $10000 worth
of diamonds given her by ex-Marshal Russell
while she was his mistress and bought with
money he had stolen from the Government.
She is not the least approach to beautiful but
is as sharp as a steel trap cunning as a fox
soft as a mole and as unscrupulous as the
devil. And it is a noted and notorious fact
about the town of Marshall where he lived
mat ne in private transactions was a rascal.
Me built a fine mansion over there swindled
the contractors and beat St. Louis furniture
deaisrs out of enough mahogany black wal-
nut and cherry Ilrusscls and laces to fur-
nish it from trp to bottom. He was proven
guilty at his trial point blank. And yet there
has been started a petition at many points in
Texa asking the Preiident to pardon him.
borne Republicans and Democrats are sieninn
it upon the ground that Federal officeholders
in lexas are no better than he is and the
Government should not make fish of one and
flesh of others. Others are signing as they
sign everything else of that kind because they
arc asKcu iu.
I understand'the President never navs the
slichest attention to such documents. He re
fuses to pardon even temeant Mason in defer
ence to public sentiment and therefore the
chances for Russell's escape are just none at
all if he counts upon getting out that door.
Kusseu was a creai ana imnenous swell un tn
the time he was arrested lie had a lordly
air a coniempi lor ordinary ioiks stole money
like a bank forger and spent it like a Lord
Gordon. His feathers are down now his
character gone his pockets empty and in a
few days his $io tweed-cloth will be laid
aside for io cent stripes. Unless you have a
chance to shuffle the deck under the table and
hx the aces so they will face to the dealer
nonesty is tne oest policy.
Oortscbukoirs Love
Mme. Lina llraun the young lady at whose
house in Baden Prince GortscliakofF recently
died was a fair young creature of 25 and the
Prince intended leaving her a larce Income:
but the mysterious illness which took him off
did not give him lime to execute his Inten-
tions to which his eldest son Michael Gort-
schokofT was strenuously opposed. For some
time the Piince had been on cold terms with
Michael whose conduct when he was minis.-
ler at uerne nau ue:n 01 so scandalous a na-
ture that he would have been dismissed from
the diplomatic service had it not been for the
ai'i great affection for hl fnher "Mich-
ael" the Prince used to say "is capable
of everything that is bad and money is his

A Mlclugun Indian WlnsuSIO.OOO ult.
The daughter of an Indian has just recov
ered about $40000 from the Jackson Iron
company A number of explorers were look-
ing for iron about 35 or 40 years ago near
where Negaunee now stands and an old In-
dian Morgi Geezlc by name took them to a
place wheie he had found tome very fine ore.
They found that Ihe deposit was large and a
copartner hip to work the mine thus discov
ered was formed In consideration of the
service rendered Ihem by the Indian it was
agreed that he should teceive 123 100 of the
profits and a written agreement ti that effect
was given him. At last he died and the suit
which has just been decided was brought for
his daughter to recover the money claimed to
uc uuc iter latner irom the company.

The recent raid upon the pamblinr houses
in New York will have the effect it is said
of bringing into market many fine pieces of
property for which large amounts have been
previously offered and refused. The Hoff
man nouse management ollered $100000
for Reed's gambling place in Twentv-third
street before the raid but the offer was de
clined. It will now probably be sold.
In many cases the revenue stamps placed
upon the bottles of Jwhat are !known as pro-
prietory medicines is the chief difference be-
tween these concoctions and ordinary whisky
packages. After July I there will be no
stamps required upon these so-called medi-
cines already on the market but the com-
pounders of new curealls will be liable to pay
the tax as rectifiers unless they can show
they are making a medicine and not a bever-
age. A pretty b ok agent in Chicago a few day
ago told a young lawyer such a pitiful tale
about her business perplexities that he forgot

did not buy a book. The next day the young
woman's brother sought out the lawyer nnd
gave him a co hiding and the lawjer who
naturally feels a good deal cut up says he
supposes he got the whipping because he did
not invest in the volume offered.
A new explosive has been invented by M.
Petri a Viennese engineer. The name given
to it 'sdynamogen and it is likely to compete
seriously with gunpowder. The inventor
states that it contains neither sulphuric acid
nitric acid nor nitro-glycerine and that it '
cannot injure in any way cither gun or cart-
ridge. The charge of dynamogen is in the
form of a solid cylinder which can be in-
creased in quantity without being Increased
in size by compression. The manufacture of
dynamogrn is simple and without danger. It
preserves its qualities in the coldrst or hottest
wcalher and can be made at 40 per cent less
cost than gunpowder.
