To him the city is indebted for much substantial aid towards the boom, and for securing the appropriation of $200,000 by the government Prme magnificent postoffice building in course of erection. Oncof the first evidences of the city's progress, and one of the greatest benefits to the town, was the location here of two of the Tnvgest packing houses in the west, the Ne- ‘braska City and the Trans-Missouri, with a combined capacity of 4,50 hogs per day. They give employment to about 450 men. with ® duily pay roll of about $1,000. These mum- moth institutions were secured principally through the personal exertions of the Hon.

NICHOLAS CHAPADO'S FRIEND. | i How She Pieadgd With Queen Isa- bella For the!Life of a Con- demned Man—A Remarka- ble, Career. RoME, Oct. Y.-<[Correspondence of the New York Mail and Express.]— Within a few days the celebrated act- ress, Adelaide Ristori, will issue a me- moir of her long and fortunate career. Through the kindness of the publishing firm, I am able to offer to your readers this striking chapter from the proof shoet: On the 16th of September, 1867, I began o series of performances in the Zarzuela theater in Madrid. From the natural enthusiasm of the Madrid peo- ple I obtained all that an actress may wish for. The theater was crowded. Queen Isabella was in her box, listen- ing eagerly and breaking forth every now and then into the most kindly applause. The following nights I performed “Marie Stuard” and then ‘Mirra,” On the 2Ist I had to repeat ‘“‘Medea,” Tbat evening I had a touching and never-forgotten experienc. Before the performance we were talking in the parlor adjoining the stage about our success and the most noteworthy things we had seen in the Spanish capitul. *By the way,” I said, “to-day 1 saw a man’ that was going about in the garments of some religious brotherhood, shaking continually a hand bell. What does that mean?” I was told that the man was collecting alms to ave prayers soid for the soul of one Nicholas Chapado, who was to be shot the next day. This unhappy man was a soldier, who, under an angry impulse, had laid his hand upon the hilt of his sword toinveige against asergeant who had struck him. They also told me that his sister, having casually met the man with the hand-bell, asked who was sen- tenced to death. cholas C was the answer, and the poor a swoon. That tale flllud me with sad- “There,” I exclaimed, ‘“while we here, gay and Hunl\m" only of ap- > and triumphs, that poor victim nting the moments that are left to Thereupon 1 walked sadly to my room to dress. After a few minutes I heard from my husband that two gen- tlemen had calied and begged to ask of Queen Isabella the life of the unfortu- nate soldier. Chapado had been wrong- fully struck by the sergeant and he had done nothing more than just TOUCH THE HII/E OF HIS SWORD. The queen, they said, was very fond of me; if'T asked the pirdon for the soldier it would be granted. 1 promised I would try and do all I coukd with the queen, ately there arose a ral 2 b of dont of the cabi- It would not done for me to o direetly to the queen before speak to General Nary but he ally feared on account of his excessive severity. Still, T knew I wonld spoil the whole thing if I wounded the genecral’s pride by applying directly to the queen.

The general, ever courteous, hastened ln comply with the request. my voice ‘md mpm't N e , plain cvidence of my emotion. “General,” I said, “You told me several times that you could never deny a request from me, so high is the esteem in which you are pleased to hold me. 1 beg, then, pardon for that poor soldier. I'am a foreigner. Thave been in Madrid only a few l]d\ but from the interest that all the people take in that young man, I infer that he fully de- serves it. I was advised to apply directly to her majesty without letting you know, but I thought, on the con- trary, that through your powerful sup- port my word can more easily reach the heart of the queen. I know how highly she esteems you and how deeply she treats your tried experience and loyalty. My good lady,” the duke answered, ‘it is impossibl I am sorry, but we need an ex Neul'ly all our revo- were started by the army. Faets of a similar kind happened some timo ago. We were merciful; you now see the results. We need hn example. Just now the municipal council was pressing the queen to grant a pardon, but I ad- vised her to be ste y and not yield. After this how can I persuade her to do otherwise?” Still, I did not lose my courage. I kept up my peroration with the great- est enthusiasm. At length the duke WS mov ed. **Ah, Madam.,” he said, ‘‘certainly your prayer should bo granted. Listen to me, Ask an audience of her majesty. e you between the acts. w yourself at her knees; defend the OF THAT POOR SOLDIER, ve just done with me. The queen is fond of you.

After the first act the queen granted ne audience T had applied for, and ccompanied by gné of my impre: \mm to the royal box. I was ruquuu«l to wait a few moments in an adjoining room, when all of a sudden T heard cries and strange voices and hurried foot- steps. An_attache of the court, an enemy of Narvaez, had attempted sud- denly to intrude upon the queen’s pre ence’ the sister of poor Chapado, N viez had just come in time to thwart his enemy’s plan. Nevertheless, the queen, who was very weaky fshe was then bea ing unhappy Alphonse XIT., who was born one month lutéri, on hearing those cries had fainted. 'When she came to she asked o see mé. . The good queen apologi to me for having lkept me waiting, as well as for the excite- ment, which she could not con- ceal.

MY HEART SWELLED WITH JOY. at difierent tragedies happen to- he said, ‘‘Here is one at least that ends happily.” Then, having sent for a pen, she signed the pardon {which one of her aides-de-camp, hastened to communi- cate to the imprisoned soldier. As the cause of my call had become known a crowd had gathered at the foot of the staivcase. I did rfot walk; I fled down those steps shouting: *“Pardon has been granted! ‘Pardon has been granted!” When again I made my appearance on the stage there arose a storm of shouts and _applause that shook the building. In the enthusiasm of the people my name was mentioned with that of the queen. With gesture I tried to show that to her the thanks were due, but the queen said distinctly from her box: “It is you; it is you.” 1 owe this queen one of the most mem- orable nights of my life. The pen which signed a new lease of life to a brave and honest man, and which afterward was given me, shall be to my children a hal- lowed keepsake of a deep joy experi- enced by their mother. Chapado had now been condemned for life to prison. Through the never fail- ing kindness of Adelaide Ristori his penalty was reduced to six years, until at length Chapado was able to call on his benefactress a free and most thank- ful man. “Every timo T went to Madrid,” writes the celebrated and kind-hearted actress, “he ran to see me,and when I gave him means to witness my performance I could not wish for & better claqueur, and what letters he used to write to me when I was away—full of gentle, poetical, one would say, oriental thoughts, He called me *mimadre qneerida.” EDERICO. S A MOTHER'S LONG SEARCH. She Finds the Son of Whom She Had Been Robbed. Cincinnati Enquirer: Mrs. John Steinert of No. 45 Finlay street, is to- day watching every hour that passes until the time shall come when her son, for whom she searched for nineteen years, will come to her for proof that she is his mother. Twenty-one years ago and over there lived in the Cify of Covington, Ky., a family named Keifer. One of the daughters of this family, Judic, a lovely and mulllgun girl, fell in love with a young man named William Mullen, and they were to be married. But the old story was told again, and when she was about to become a mother he deserted her. The child was born. a bright and retty boy, and when the deserted girl 1 recovered she had to assist in su porting the family. Her mother was a widow, with o large family depending on her, and it was hard work for them to get along. But the young mother worked faithfully and did much to keep the wolf from the door. When the boy was three years old she was taken down with small=pox and had to go to the hos- pital. Here she hung between life and death for many weeks, and at last she returned to her mother’s home to find that her boy was gone. Her mother ssid that the burden had been to great for her,and having a chance to give the boy a good home she had given him to_a wealthy lady living in Cincinnati, and who still H.ves there. To this lady went the agonized young mother for her boy. She was coldly re- ceived, and told” that the boy wasin good hands and would be well taken care of, but she should never again see him. She was satisfied that she had been the victim of a conspiracy, and that her mother was one of the conspi- to put the child away from her. sgistered a vow that the object of her life should be to find and recover her boy. She went to work with a will, denying herself everything, save the necessities of life, and using her earn- ings to further the search for her child. Four years after the boy had disap- peared, and when he was seven years old, a man in Covington asked her to become his wifo, She told him frankly the story of her life—how she had been betrayed and how her child had beenstolen from her, The man listened to her story and agreed to let the dead past bury the dead. “But there is another thing,” she said to him as they stood together one [it I have devoted my life to the search of my boy. If my marriage to you prevents my follovuug that search T cannot marry you.” ‘*Your life is my life,” was the reply. ‘“Your sorrow, yourpleasures are mine. I will join you m the search, and we will find your boy.” They were married, Considerable money was expended, and many dis- appointments were met with. At last they found a trace of the dul A sister of the man who had petr: deserted the girl told the S her nunt had taken the baby boy and given it to John Mullen,abrother to the man who had left the betrayed girl at the altar, and that he lived near Dun- canville, Ohio, on a farm, Last Friday morning stood on the porch of home watching a carviage drawn by two spanking horses come rapidly up the roud, and when it stopped at his gate he went out to greet the occupants, a man and woman. The woman stepped up to him and, in o voice husky with sup- pressed oxcitement, said Are you not John Mull “That is my name, madam, “Did you not have a brother who 's 120 bet d and de: wxlml is | d bride at Covington, K John Mullen nodded his head affl tively. “That deserted bride became the moth- erof aboy. When he was three years old he was stolen from her one day while she lay sick in @ hospital. Yeirs and years she has searched for her child, and at last she has been rewarded. I am the woman your brother so basely deserted, and Tam heroe to claim my boy, whom you have Lrought up in ignorance of his mother as your son."” This was so astonishing to Mr. Mullen that he could hardly speak for a mo- ment, but_he invited the two into the parlor. Mullen did not talk much, but soon left the room in a rage. Hanging on the wall of “the room the picture of a baby boy, and on the mother fastencd her eyes. John Mullen tried to dény, that the boy was hers. The boy was brought in, and she asked him his nmne, and he re- plicd that it was Jesse Mullen. He eald that his father and mothe; both dead. Then she asked him if ho knew of a man by the name of William Mul- len, and he replied thay he did, and (\m[ Willlam "Mullen “was_his uncle, During al] this conversation the mother first looked at v phiotograph of - the -boy that )nmg on the wall anc )u.u atthe 3 John Mullen his comfortable na- was this boy. Finally she said to him: “Bill Mullen is not your uncle, but your Iather, and I am your mother.” And then she burst into tears and fell on tho shoulder of her long-lost boy. The boy said that he had been told while in Cincinnati that he was only an adopted child, but he could never trace the information to any reliable source. John Mullen had always told him that his parents were dead, and that he was laid on Mullen's door-step when he lived in Covington. After a fong conversa- tion they separated, with tho under- standing that the boy would come to Cincinnati in a few days to live with his mother. John Mullen has threat- ened to have the person arrested who gave Mrs. Steinert her information, but it will evidently end in a threat. William (better known as ‘“‘Ram Cat”, Mullen, is a very tough citizen, and has been arrested in Covington and other places in Kentucky for various crimes, He has also been inside the walls of the Frankfort (Ky.) peniten- tiary. PR Fooled By a Millionaire Miller. Chicago News: The recent conven- tion of filu'm'mns at Round Island, in the St. Lawrence river, recalls an in- cident of last year’s convention. After the proceedings at Milwnukee con- cluded the members started off on a tri through the northwest. They visitec several summer resorts, mining and lumber camps, and then crossed over to Minneapolis and St. Paul. Among other points of interest they took in the great Pilsbury ftlouring mills. Fred Hild, of the Chicago library, was at the head of the visiting delegation and he took it upon himself to show the castern delegates about. At the mills they were met by a pleasant featured old man dressed in a suit of flour dusted clothes. He was a very intelligent old chap and was well up in the milling business. He took the visitors all about the immense establishment, them the process by which ground, separated, packed and barreled. He was so exceedingly polite and at- tentive that Fred felt that some return should be made for the.trouble he had taken. Accordingly, when the visit was concluded he took the old gentle- man in the dusty clothes aside und guve him one of Moos’ cigars. *“‘The he said, “allow me to present this slight token to show how we apprecia your politeness. You have been exceedingly obliging, my good man”—and he went away proud in the consciousness of a good act. That night the vis- itors were tendered a banquet at the hotel West. The astonishment of Hild may be imagined when he beheld the dusty old miller arrayed in a swallow tail coat and wearing on his shirt front a diamond as big as a turnip. “Will you kindly tell me,” said Fred, turning to a St. Paul man, ‘who that distinguished looking old man is?" “That,” said the St. Paul man, Gover nor Pillsbury, the millionaire mill owner. showing flour was ———— Josh Whit b as a Gambler. New York Sun: Denman Thompson, the shrewd and genial old actor, is one of the nerviest and wildest betting men on the turf. Ho bets for the sport of the thing and not because he knows anything of horses. A story of the ex- perience of the bookmakers found its way into town yesterday through a let- ter from a western man who is on ve intimate terms with Den Thompson family. When the actor cleaned up after last season’s work he took $40,000 of his earnings, gave it to his wife, and retived - to his farm in Massachusetts. About six weeks agohe came to New York, went to the races just for a flyer, won $2,600, and caught the betting fever. They couldn't get him away from the paddock until he figured " up and found his loss just $16,000. He drew a long mug, made good e y cent, and said: “Well, I guess I'll go back tomy farm and labor for the rest of the summer, Sporting life is too rich for me.” Accordingly he went back to the country and joined the laborers until his scason opened.
