Murder of a Bride on Her Wedding Night by Her Father. INDEPENDENCE, Kan.,” . September 27, 1895. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. In the western part of the Cherokee coun- try, in the Indian -tergitory, lies a slight cievation cut up by numerous hills and valleys and covered witha rank growth of scrub oaks and tail prairie grass wherever the rocks are covered with sufficient soil to mairtain vegetation. These hills are known as the Flint Hills, on account of the flint stone which may be seen cropping out on every hillside. and in every valley. A scanty civilization has sprung up in this region within’the last year or so, and a few scattered fields may be observed where the wandering rettler has built -his dug-out, scratched up the earth erough to plant his corn or potatces, and then Hes around idle until harvest time. Some of the better class live in log cabins, with their walla covered with coonskins, and a long bench on each side of the cabin, where the settler sits in the shade, leisurely smoking, while his favorite coon dog sleeps at his fect. The people are rude, simple Individuals, averse to strangers and are satisfied to live secluded from the rest of the world. The cccasional crack of the stage driver's whip is the only disturbing feature of their lives. ‘A wedding was to take place the other evening, and little groups of Flint Hill folks, young and old, thronged the Interior of the rude log house where the event was to_ occur. a Jack Davis, a Texas cowboy, was to wed Sabina Proctor. Sabina was the half-breed daughter of old Bill Proctor, 2 white man, who had married a Cherokee woman some twenty years ago. Sabina was acknowl- edged to be the belle of the whole country, and her marriage was looked upon as a great event.’ She had recelved some edu- cation at a female seminary at Talequah, I. T., and it was there sne had first met Jack: Her pretty brown eyes and simple, tender ways had captivated him, and that night was to end their courtship, although her father opposed their marriage. A wan- dering missionary who chanced to be pass- irg through that neighborhood had been engaged to perform the marriage ceremony, and Jack had had Sabina’s wedding dress made in Talequah, and it certainly eclipsed anything that had ever been seen in that neighborhood. It was white, and, as her soft, dark hair fell over her shoulders in pyrereece tet er ieseeeey 25 Off ; s cent $ sJewelry, &c., sFor 30 Days. ; 4 As we propose to add many new lines to our stock it will be necessary to make exten- sive alterations, In crler_ to reduce stock prior to making these improvements, we offer pretty much our entire stock at a discount of 25 per c % off present marked pric As this reduction means cost and less than cost d e wer seer this unprecedet Purchases laid ment-of 2 deposit. * © © for thirty days only. in, Goldsmith $ Jewelers, g11 Pa.

Almost instantly the fiddlers began, tho room was cleard, and soon the cabin began to shake with shufiling feet. Proctor did most cf the calling for the dance. Qc- casionelly he would disappear and return, esen time) his fave growing redder and 8 re an ger. more the effects of Sabina became uneasy. Once -she dack’s side and begged of her fathercs Grink no more; but he shook her from him roughly. He was soon unmanageable and Eelstsrous: and began to pass the boitle 'y from guest to guest and In: them drinkirg with him. een “Why don’t you dance, young man,” said he, coming up and grasping Jack by the arm. “If you think you are too good to dance in my honse thea here's somebody that will dance with my gal” he sald, pointing to one of his companions, already under the influence of the liquor. | “You white men come in here and think you can run the country, but you can't in my house; so you had better get out Sabina is iots too good for you, anyhow Sabina had her face buried in her hands. She knew her father’s terrible temper and quazrelsome disposition when under the in- fluence of liquor. “Come with me, Jack, and don't: mind father; it's the whisky,” she whispered, and a moment later, unnoticed by the drunken man, she led the way into a smaH room at- tached to the cabin whtch Sabina called Ler own and in which most of her girlhood had been spent. A jim candle revealed a rude pine table in the center of the room, beside which were two home-made chairs, On the table were a few books and trinkets which Jack had from time to time given ker, and innumerable cheap and unframed pictures—some represeazing her own poor effort at art—decorated the walls of the apartment. A single window opened out to the west. In that direction dark -louds were moving swiftly across the face of the pale moon, and Jack seemed to see something ominous and dreadful in their inky blackness. He could hear the muffled sound of music and shuffling feet in the adjoining room, which was occasionly pierced by the sharp calls of the prompter. S Suddenly the two were aroused by a brutal oath from Proctor, who the next in- stant pushed the door open and staggered into the room. In his hand he held a mur- derous-looking six-shooter. For a moment the drunken man stood glaring at Jack, who had risen to his feet. Then, with an unsteady hand, Proctor presented the wea- bon squarely at Jack's breast. Sabina saw what her father’s intentions were, and screamed. Jack saw for an instant the elittering muzzle of the pistol pointed directly at his heart; he felt his arm clutched, and a white-robed figure darted past him. There was a deafening report; and Jack almost at the same instant sprang forward and snatched the smoking pistol from Proctor's hands. ‘Then he turned; and, as the smoke drifted away, he saw Sabina standing with horror- stricken eyes and both hands clasped to her breast. With outstretched arms che totterel toward Jack, and as he caught her in his arms a low, appealing moan caped her lips. Jack held the wounded g in his arms for a moment, and then laid her on the bed in the corner of the room; and as he did so a tear trickled down his sunburnt cheek—the first he had shed for many a yeer. “Poor father!” whispered the dying girl. “forgive him, Jack; it was the whisky that aid it.” Her grasp suddenly tightened on Jack's hand; she raised her brown eyes to his for a moment and then closed them slowly— forever. ‘To the Editor of The I see It Is proposed to present the matter of the dangerous condition of the gov: ment printing office to the grand jury.

AN IN THEIR PATRIOTISM Piss Echoes se ihe Great Convention HE B Sigh at Appomattox. ~_-—__ SOME HOPEFUL SENTIMENTS ——_>___ The conditions prescribed by Gen. Grant at the surrerder at Appomattox in 1865 and the course advocated from time to time since by public-spirited and patriotic soldiers of the war; to quiet sectional feel- irg, and bring about closer relations be- tween tke north and south, have received more than ordinary attention during the present year. Tho dedication of the monument to the confederate dead at Chicago; the meeting of the Confederate Veterans at Houston, Tex.; the annual reunion of the societies of the armies of the Tennessee and the Cum- berland; the dedication of the Chicka- mauga National Park, and the opening of the exposition at Atlanta, have all, been attended by Union ard confederate soldiers of distinction, who, while giving voice to their. patriotism, have, with but few ex- ceptions, refrained from expressions cal- culated td revive the bitterness heretofore engendered when the causes of the war and the question, “who was right?” have teen the es topics of argument or elo- quence. Letters recently writ Gen. Schofield, the last of thor gree ts ean mandera of the Union armies, and ever the trusted leutenant of Lincoln and Grant, are’among the most valuable com- positions presented as pointing out briefly why the war was necessary, and the im- erative uey ot those who fought and t e letters hay. r survived toa aye never before The first letter has reference to the dedi- cation of, thé confederate monument at Chicago, and explairs why United States troops were .pDot allowed to participate in that affair. It 1s written by Gen. Schofield in his official capacity to Gen. J. C. Under- wood at’ Chicago, and in it, after express- ing bis regret that the United States troops could not be ordered to participate in the ceremonies, Gen. Schofield said: ‘This great event is a token of ‘the re- icicing which fills the hearts of all good citizens of this great republic, north, south, east and west; that the wounds of war and strife have been healed: that the causes of bitter dissension have been for- ever removed; that allegiance to the stars and stripes has become the one only stand- ard of patriotism in the political faith, as we also trust and believe in the nearts, of ali throughout the length and breadth of] this great land; and that we may now rest assured that our posterity will be a united people in this.our beloved country for all time to come, Rattle Wan Necessary. “The differgncp {which divided the country in 1861 was,of,that character which can be decided eiiynby appeal to the god of battles. THY deéision was rendered at Ap- pemattox, Yid ‘no one has been so hardy as to quest{gn finality of that decision. The. confedgrate, soldiers then and there- after pledged thatr honor to accept in good faith the Rgnorable and liberal terms of- fered them by, the great Union commander, to return te thoir allegiance and become loyal and faithfpl citizens of. the United States. Phe;,4inion .commander and his comrades Gid ne for a moment doubt the benor of their; byave antagonists. But mil- lions of Joyal.pgople in the country trem- bled with ai ension, lest that pledge of good faith gnight-not be kept. The doubts sand anxjeties of, that day have gradually hard: slowly, bead: dispelled, until, now, by almost wiiveronts. accord. throughout’ ibe land, the beaye men of the south are re- gerded as,qmeng the most reliable defend- ers of: the,Coustitution of the United States and of the,national honor and interests in any. contest which may, hereafter arise. Sectional political, divisions are passing away... The decision rendered at Appomat- tox has borne its fruit, Fing of the Confederacy. “The battle flag of the confederate army new lies upon the graves of the brave sol- sters who defended.it, while the glorious old flag of the Union fioats on high, un- challenged by any ‘at’ home or abroad, throwing its protecting folds around all who now acknowledge true allegiance te the sovereignty it represents. The time has fully come when the veteran soldiers and the people of the country, north and south, may rejoice together, ‘with malice toward rone, with charity for all,” and with ‘peace’ in every heart, unite in honor- ing the memory of the brave men whose bicod was shed in the great contest to fully establish the ‘more perfect Union’ designed by those who framed the Constitution ot the United States, and to make this Union perpetual:; But the flag of the confcderate states should never again be unfurled or given to the breeze, even at a reunion of confederate soldiers. It belongs to the dead past which the brave confederates pledged their honor at Appomattox should e buried forever. PC nic the soverament of the United States cannot take part officially in honors paid to the memory of men who died in the attempt to overthrow that government, and while I cannot divest myself of my present official character and responsibility as commanding general of the army, as a private citizen and as a veteran soldier of the Union, I give you my cordial and hearty sympathy in the tribute of respect you are paying to the memory of your brave comrades.” ‘The Houston Reunion. Another letter,on the same general sub- ject was written by Gen. Schofield to Sen- ator John B. Gordon, on the occasion of the Houston reunion, which he attended. ‘After thanking him for the cordial recep- tlon tendered to him, Gen. Schofield said: “When the commanders of the great armies, which had so fiercely contended with each other four long years, agreed upon the terms of a military convention. in 1865 the world was astonish- ed at the terms of the convention. Nothing like it had ever before occurred in tha history of the world. On the one side the brave confederate soldiers should cease for the future from all acts of war, should go quietly to their homes, live there in peace, and obey the laws. On the other hand, the Unton commander should pro- tect thent frénrdll molesiation on account of past acts, so long as they kept their faith inviotate. “The meaning of this inspired military convention was hardly understood by any at the time, but its meaning has gradually been disclosed to the knowledge of man- kind. The gfeat purpose of that conven- tion was not’ simply to terminate the then existing contest, but to render impossible for all time to come any other sectional contest in this country. It was to implant in the heart of every true and patriotic American thé feeling that the people of these great states are kindred people, that they cannot find in their hearts to inflict extreme punishment upon their brethren, and to make them, in fact, one united peo- ple for all time to come. ‘The doubts, un- certainties and anxieties of that period have gradually passed away, until now no- where throughout the states is the food faith of those brave old confederate sol- diers for a moment doubted. Indeed, by everywhere, they and the young soldiers of the s , are regarded as among the most faithful and devoted defenders of the fh ot the Union, the Con: ution of the United States, and the honor, integ- rity and interests of the great nation which that flag represents. Sentiments of the North. “Lam sure L express. the sentiments of t majority of the people of the norih, t only of tne old Union soldiers who have shown ydu their €0:-fidence and sym- pathy, but of the new ‘and rising genera- on in whose hands the destinies of the country for the future must be placed. I have long known that the same sentiment pervaded the people of the south, and I have stopped here today, upon the invita- of the eonfederate veterans of the to assure them that their loyalty to the ®onstitution and to the laws of the ration is appeeciated by the great mass of the people of the north, who recognize to the fullest extent the fidelity which the southern soldiers have for 80 many years displayed to the pledges they gave at and after the conclusion of the great contest. that now and henceforth there can be no possible reason why tke people of the north and of the south, old soldiers and- young soldiers, shali not unite under the flag of the Union to promote the best in- terests of their country, and defend her honor throughout the world.” Gen. Schofield reiterated these views in his brief addresses at Cincinnati and at Chattanooga. : —__+e._1__ . DEATH OF PASTEUR. He Will Be Buried by the French . Government. Professur Pasteur died at Garcies, near St. Cloud, France, Saturday. He had suffered from paralysis for a considerable period of time. About, eight days ago he sustained a violent paralytic stroke and Saturday suffered still another severe attack. He grew worse rapidly and remained in a comatose condition dur- ing his last hours. : ‘The government decided to hold a state fuaeral for Professor Pasteur. The gov- ernment desired to inter -the remains’ of the distinguished savant in the Partheon, but it was the family’s wish that he should be buried at the Pasteur Institute. The obsequies will be held at the Cathedral of Notre Dame probably ‘Thursday. The fame of Louls Pasteur as a bacte- riologist was world wide. His germ theory of disease has revolutionized the study and treatment of human ailments. In 1874 the national assembly accorded to M. Pas- teur, as a reward, chiefly for his investiga- ticps of fermentation, a life annuity of 12,000 francs. He was raised to the rank of grand officer of the Legion of Honeur October 24, 1878. His reception into the French Academy took place April 27, 1882. Of late years M. Pasteur had devoted himself to the study of inoculation of dis- eases other than smallpox and had achieved some very remarkable results in the prevention of hydrophobia, patients from all parts of Europe and America traveling to Paris to put themselves under his care. The cholera epidemic of 1892 led M. Pas- teur to institute experiments in anti-chol- eric vaccinations, which proved successful in the case of animals. Last May considerable comment was caused by M. Pasteur refusing a decora- tion tendered him by the German em- beror. The Study of Discases. When still an obscure physician his first studies were the chemical processes of fermentation, and these studies led him to investigate the phenomena of disease in living bodies resembling fermentatiors. The silk-worm industry in France was threatened with destruction; Pasteur was called In, examined the mysterious dis- ease that was killing the worms, and sug- gested the remedy. The wine growers of France ard Italy complained of their wines being slow to mature and prone to turn sour; Pastcur’s investigations on the yeast germs taught the grower how these evils could be cured, and the process of Pasteur- izing wine is universally recognized. No more fatal disease than anthrax, or char- bon, attacks sheep and cattle; Pasteur’s discovery of the bacillus anthrax, the mi- crobe which propagates the disease, sug- gested the means of guarding against it. These discoveries represent a gain to the community of tens of millions of dollars; and if Pasteur could have so far forgotten the obligations of science 4s to take out patents, according to commercial princi- ples, he would have been, to quote Lankester, “the richest man in the world. ‘To assign a money value to the inquiry that has of late years occupied his at- tention would be simply impossibie; for the subject was hydrophobia and how to Frevent this dread disease running its fear- ful course. He commenced by careful ex- periments on animals in 1880, and he saow- ed that rabies was the result of a specific poison, not a mere form of tetanis, still less a creature of the imagination. Pasteur's Theory. Pasteur’s conclusions were experimental cemonstrations publicly announced to the scientific world, and verified by a govern- ment commission. These experiments were made on dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and monkeys, It was his theory that animals inoculated with hydrophobia virus would not go mad, and he demonstrated this by this method: He inoculated dogs with a very weak virus from a rabbit; that is, a virus having a long period of incubation, and that at the same time he inoculated a rabbit. When this rabbit went mad and died, the dogs were again inoculated from it, as well as a third rabbit. The process was repeated with the dogs and a fourth rabbit, and so on, till the virus had greatly ilwreased in activity. The first weak inocu- lation protected them from the second, the second from the third, and so on, till they could stand the strongest virus. The gov- ernment commission reported that of nine- teen dogs not treated by Pasteur, seventeen tcok rabies, while of twenty-three dogs, which he had treated by his inoculations, not one took the disease.. ‘The critical point was the application to human beings. The first to be treated was a child—Joseph Meister—who had _ been bitten in fourteen places by a mad dog. Pasteur, on the 6th of July, 1885, began by inoculating the child with a weak virus that would not produce rabies in a rabbit; le increased the strength of the virus daily, and on ‘the 16th inoculated with virus so strong as to produce rabies in a large dog in eight days. ‘The child is, ac- ccrding to all reports, in perfect health. Some modifications in details have been made, but the process remains, on the whol3 as described. Between July 6, 1885, and June 11, 1886, Pasteur treated 1,335 pa- tients; of these 140 cases were of persons bitten by dogs well ascertained to be mad. The usual estimate of deaths by hydro- tkobia is that 16 per cent of those bitten by mad dogs die. According to this, 118 of Pasteur’s patients ought to nave died. There died only four. Wolf Bites Treated. Pasteur also applied his treatment to volf bites. Wounds inflicted by wolves are of greater depth and extent than those inflicted by dog bites, and are usually in such dangerous places as the face or throat. The usual percentage of death from rabid wolves is 66.5 per cent. Of 48 cases treated by Pasteur, only seven died; that is, he reduced the percentage to 14 per cent. What The t. the World Owes to Pasteur. owing tribute to Pasteur is by Frankland, F. R. S., professor try in Mason College, Birming- ham: “It may be sald without exaggeration that there is no scientific name which is so universally known, and in so many differ- ent connections, as that of Pasteur. The chemist, physicist, biologist and medical man each view Louis Pasteur as the founder of some of the most important, novel and fruitful departures in their sev- eral branches of knowledge, while in the worlds of industry and agriculture his in- fluence has also been deeply felt and grate- fully acknowledged. “The widespread influerce which Pasteur exercised upon the progress of science dur- ing the latter half of the present century, wrought in so many different departments of science, must be attributed in the first instance to the possession of a singularly active, clear and original mind, matured under the strict discipline of an early train- ing in mathematics and the exact sciences, which enabled him to submit biological phenomena to a rigid, logical and uncom- promising criticism, such as they had never previously received. But even this rare combination of natural and educational en- dowments would have availed but little had there not been united to them an almost superhuman industry, an almost limitless capacity for work. It would be difficult also to find a better illustration of the manner in which one science can benefit from contact with another than that which is furnished by the results which have at- tended the digression of the specially trained chemist into the fields of biology, and medicine. To Louis Pasteur belongs the glory of having set in motion that great medieal revolution which has been well tehed by a modern French writer: “When man learned how to protect him- self from the wild beasts, he made the first step in civilization. Today man is learning how to defend himself from microbes; it is a step of equal importance. A day will come when in Berlin, in London, in Paris, | man will not die of diphtheria, of typhoid, of searlet fever, of cholera, or of tubercu- my more than he dies in these cities today of the venom of snakes or of the tooth of wolves.” SS Saturday about noon the dead body of an infant was found on 25th street northwest, near Pennsylvania avenue. This morning a colored infant was found in Judiciary Square 11 Boston Variety Store.

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, litigant miilionaire, sclen- tist, with Mrs. Bell, his two daughters and his valet, arrived from Havre yesterday on the French liner La Bourgoyne. Today he will take his eldest daughter to Northampton, Mass., where she is at school. Tomorrow he will go to Washing- ton, where he lives, to visit his parents, and then, with the remaining members of his family, he will go to his fine country seat at Cape Breton. Seen at the Gilsey House last night, Prof. Bell talked on what he had seen in Europe, on his latest inventions, and what he hoped to accomplish in the future. First he spoke of the flying machine industry. The Flying Machine. “While I have long believed that the idea of navigating the air was practicable,” he said, “I am not working directly on the in- vention myself, but collecting tables that will be of use to future inventors. I got some material in Paris, and shall publish a treatise on the subject soon. “I have long believed the flying machine should be of greater specific gravity Tfan the medium that sustains it. InVentors have too long worked on a contrary prin- ciple. The invention of the balloon by Montgolfier set back the science of aero- statics, in my opinion. “As aluminum is a disappointing sub- stance out of which to construct a mechan- ism, unless it can be used in sheets or masses, I would have the flying invention made of an alloy of aluminum. “In Paris I was much interested In M. Trouve’s electric motor flying model. I saw the machine—it is only a toy—but no in motion. It is provided with fan wheels, and when the current is turned on I am told the device screws itself into the air, ascending and floating about the room. It weighs 92 grammes and is called the heli- kopter.” Prof. Bell called attention to the fact tnat birds are heavier than the sustaining medium, which, he says, proves the practt- cability of his idea. Speaking of the horscless carriage, which has attained such a degree of development in France that it travels from one end of the republic to the other, Prof. Bell said that the European invention was still very crude, and that a great opportunity awaited the American genius who should perfect it by doing away with its present jolting, noise and the odor arising from petroleum. “Horseless carriages have come to stay he said, “and Americans will make them. sf Horse Bicycles, He suggested the feasibility of construct- ing horse bicycles, or tricycles, or quadri- cycles—any number of wheels, in fact— machines in which the noble friend of man could ride, but do all the work of propel- ling the vehicle. Tnless something of. the sort is invented, Prof. Bell fears the patient horse, so long the chief reliance for motive power, will be- come extinct. “At present,” he said, “there is nothing between the direct power of a horse and the steam engine. Now, why not let the horse, by an arrangement of gear, do the pedaling, or exert the power in son:e other practicable manner. By revers- ing the gear greater speed could be obtained and one could go up hill as well as on the evel. “See how the cable, electricity and other motive powers are dally supplanting the horse. E am confident that some such in- vention will ultimately be perfected, and that the horse will get off the ground snd ride and become the motive power.”
