{qgsTORY REPEATS ITSELF. s Palmyra Shooting Recalls a Similar Tragedy. as B. Harte Stabbed to Death on the Game Spot Forty-Eight Years Ago. j prem the Paris Mercury. | | The shooting of Dr. Norris in| of the Dudley hotel at Pal- ae recalls.a similar tragedy fhat ced in elmost the same spot forty eight years ago, in which Jobn Mi Wiee killed Thomas Benton flaste. Both were young men of gt. Louis, standing high in the poeial circles of that city, and were F feat friends. Bert was a nephew of Missouri's famous Senator, Thomas H. Benton, sod was 8 handsome and brilliant Fins. Wise was a member of the }old Virginia family of that name, ¥ god bad married a young and beau- fifal woman. She came in contact gith Harte at her busband’s home god fioally fell in love with him Wise grew suspicious. In the summer of '49 he sent his qife to Palmyra to avoid the cholera | then reging in St. Lovie. He wasa derk in the St. Louis postoffice, and jatercepting a letter addressed to | (Miss Wallenstein” found it was one of many such letters from Harte to ‘his wife. Boarding the boat imme distely he went to the old town of Marion City, now extinct, and frem | there to Palmyra, where Harte had preceded him. The rest of the ¢rime is history. He met the des poiler of his home. The struggle | yes terriffic. Wise stabbed the vic tim of hia vengeance again and again, grindiog the knife in his heart until ho fell with the blood gushiog in a crimson stream from bis moutb, and then cried to finish the butchery, exclaiming, “that man has hurt me worse than I did bim.” _ The tragedy, owing to the connec- tion of both partier, attracted the | attention of the entire State, and when it was brought to Parisena change of venue, the St. Louis Re ‘publican sent up a stenographer to report the case, a rare piece of en- terprise for those days. The musty old court records today tell in acold and formal way of the culmination of the romantic tragedy that electri- fied a State The broad and strawl- ing hand of circuit clerk Caldwell ‘anacunces that Sheriff Dan Dolaney | has formally opened court and that Defendant, John A. Wiee, had duly appeared before the court, Judge | Reese presiding. Then that the F following jury of good and lawful “men of Monroe county had been selected to try the case: John Pal- ‘mer, Pendleton Curry, Andrew J. ~ Woods, Wm. Burton, John Snod- ~ grass, Sebaetian P. Berkit, Robert Bowling, John Nesbit, Ambrose Ed @ wards, John Creasman, Samuel John- ’ é son and Newton Wilson, who after ; short deliberation found defendant ‘not guilty of the crime in manner nd form as charged.” | A Monroe county jury could not — be found in those days which would | convict a man for avenging the vio lation of bis home. Nearly all of the jury have passed away, 8. P. _ Birkit of this city being one of the few remaining. His 1ecollectioas are distinct. He says the jury was ' out but half an hour and there was > uot a dissenting vote on the first _ ballot. There were attorneys in the case who afterwards arose to distinction. The eloquent speach of young Lind » ley, who subsequently made a name atthe St. Louis bar, is still handed down in tradition. “My Old Kentncky Home.” Louisville Courier-Journal. No matter where the native of the Blue Grass staty may wander, wheth- | er on foreign shores or still remain- ing in beloved America, there is no found that brings up half so sweet Memories or causes the wellsprings of the soul t» overflow with such tears of gratitude as the rendition of | Stephen Collins Foster's world-fa- mous song, “My Old Kentucky Home.” It recalls the scenes of his boyhood as nothing else car: the far © away farm house, with its commodi- us hallways; the dark cellar beneath and the mirth giving vintage; the Spacious aged pantry overloaded With good things; the dark, dusty 7 garret and its barrel of Bourbon: 4 leackling fat fowle, and tke close-by | | orchard laden with ripe, juicy apples. the big front yard with its primitive forestry; the deep cool well, with its| time worn bucket;the weather-beaten barn. shelteriog the blue ribbon, horses; ite big lot adjoining full of | Foster was not a Kentuckian, but his ancestry were southern. This put him in touch with the plantation life existing below the Mason and} Dixen line, and thus he gave to the world his “Old Folks at Home,” “Massa’s in the Cold Ground,” ete, but “My Old Kentucky Home,” bis! most beautiful compesiticn, came| from his musical nature while he| was on a summer's sojourn ut a typi | cal residence in Kentucky. The} house which gave bim the thoughts] embodied in the song sti!l stands, a! monument to the young genius. It is known as ‘“‘Kederal Hi'!,” the re-| siding placa of the Rowan family, neer Bardstown, fcr elmost a century It waa there that Judge J Rowan, a congressman, United Stetes senar and jurist, Jived for many yeirs. It was late in the 50's only five or six years before his death, that Fos'er, then not in good health, came to Kentucky from his Pernsylvania home at the earnest solicitations of the Rowana, and paid “Federal Hill” an extended visit His sister E''za accompanied him, and the stay in old Kentucky, as Foster often said was one of the most pleasant periods of his life. Surrounded by all that was beautiful it was easy for a man who had given exprestion to so many soul-stirring southern melodies to compose the tributs to the mansion of the Blue Grass state that will en dure co long as Kentucky can pro- duce a voice capable of humming its sweet notes. Foster was inepired elike by the beautiful sunshine of the mornings and yellow moonlight of the nights that fell on “Federal Hill,” by the waving golden grain the hush of the corn, the negroes performing their duties, the lazy little darkies in cab- ins and finally by the warblings of the mocking bird, the thrush’s mel low song and tho fife like notes of the Kentucky cardinal, world re- nowned by our James Lane Allen; and the writing of the undying verse must have been a labor of love. As in many of his musical compo- sitions after the death of his mother, “My Old Kentucky Home,” is char acterized by melancholy. He seems to have had a presentiment that the days of slavery were numbered, and although a northerner by birth re- gretted in his song the coming of the day when the darkies would “ging no mere by the glimmering of the moon, on the beneh by the old cabin door.’ The song complete is as follows: The sun shines brighton my old Kentucky home; ‘Tis summer, the darkies are all gay; The corn top’s ripe and the meadows in bloom, While the birds are making music all the day; The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy, a!) bright; By-and-by hard times comes a knocking at the door— Then, my old Kentueky home, good night. Chorus. Weep no more, my lady; weep no more to-day; We'll sing you one song for the old Kentucky home; For our old Kentucky home far away. They hunt no more for the possum and the coon, On the meadow, the hill and the shore; They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door; ‘The day goes by like a siadow o'er the heart, With sorrow where all was delight; ‘The time has come when the darkies have to part, Then, my old Kentucky home, good night. The head must bow, and the back will have t bend, Wherever the darkies may g0; A few more days and the trouble: In the field where the sugar ¢ A few days to bear the weary 1 No matter, it wi ver be 1 A few more days till we totteron ‘Then, my old Kentucky home, 11 will end, grow, Try Grain-O!

London, Aug. 4.—According to the Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail, the Japanese Ambassador to Franor, Sone Arasuke, has explained the subject matter of the forthcoming arbitration between Hawaii ard Japan. The Ambassador said: “The arbitration will deal only with the question of indemnity for breaches of contract. There is no suggestion of arbitration with the United States has any right in Hawaii.” The Ambaseader said also thatthe Dingley tariff bill would ruin Japan’s great and growing trade with the United States in carpets and mate, and he protested against the placing of prchibitive duties upon goods for which there is no corresponding in- dus'ry in the United States.

It is this lack which strikes the stranger so forcibly in looking upon Japanese landscapes. There are no cows—the Japanese neither drink milk nor eat meat. There ave but few horsee, and these are imported mamly for the use of the foreigners. The freight cars in the city streets are pulled by coolies and the pleasure carrisges are drawn by men. ‘There are few dogs, and these are neither used as watch dogs beasts of burden nor in huct‘ng, ex- cept by foreigners. There are no sheep in Japar, and wool is not used in clotkiog, silk and cotton be ing the staples There are no pigs —pork is an unknown article of diet and lard is not used in cooking Wild animals there are, however, and, in particular, bears of aa enor mous size.
