SENATOR MORGAN
Senator John Tyler Morgan, of Ala
bama, who died yesterday, was often
called the "Encyclopedia of the Sen
ate," he knew so much. For more than
a yuarter of a century he was one of
the foremost figures In American
statesmanship. Ht came to the senate
at the age of 53 years, alter a ripe ex
perience at the bar, with a knowledge
of constitutional, common and statute
law that was profound. He 'was a
prodigious worker all his life, and he
possessed a comprehensive mind, a
retentive memory and a strong, tireless
phytic. He was a forceful and fluent
?peaker? almost could he be callid an
orator. He had a wonderful way of
marshalling facts and figures and, b>
this means, overwhe'mlng anyone who
would contend a point with him.
In addition to all this, and better
than all, Senator Morgan was the soul
of Integrity. His honor wa9 of that
old fashioned Southern ? ariety that
would cot pi rmit him to do a wrong
thing knowingly? and a ready we have
said be knew much. He was elected
to the senjte as a Democrat but he
always voted as an independent Atrer
ioan. He never rtcogn'zad the right
of a political organization to control his
action to the extent of a hairbreadth.
He was always a patriot according to
the best of his broad understanding.
Senator Morgan was born at Athens,
Tenn., June 20, 1324, but moved to
Alabama with his parents when nine
yeari of age, He was admitted to the
bar upon reaching his majority lu 1S45,
having received an academic (we would
c*ll it a high-school now) education.
B? practiced law until the Alabama
convention, of wbich he was a member,
declared for secession, when be joined
the Confederate army as a private. He
was given a commission shortly after
hostilities began, and rose to the rank
of a brigadier-geoeral. Afwr the war
with Edmund W. Pettus ? who for 10
years before his death, yesterday, had
been his colleague in the senate? as a
partner, he resumed tne practice of law
at Selma. The Srm stood at the head
of the state bar.
John T. Morgan was a presidential
clector in 1861, *hen be voted for John
C. Breckinridge for president, and in
1876 when he voted for Samuel J Ti den
He w?a elect- d United States senator
in 1 S7T and >ook high rank in the
national legislature from the beg'nn'.og
Just recently ha h a been re-el cted to
his sixth successive term. At the
same election Congressman Bankhead,
who bad lost u.f congress onal seat to
Capt. H^b oc, o i Mernmac famt:, was
chosen as his Alternate, his age being
such that it wes f-)ar?d that he coulu
cot live until the end of h s term.
YUKON'S NEW GOVERNOR
The "Major" Alexander Henderson,
of Vancouver, who has been appointed
commissioner of Yukon, and "Judge'
Alexander Hendeison, former:; of the
Vancouver count; court, who has beld

Judge Henderson is a very popular
man of splendid abilities and the high
est integrity. He has very manv friends

BALL DOPE
No Game Sunday But Good
Times Coming
At this stage of tbe proceedings it
seems unlikely that there will be a
baseball game in which the Skagway
champions can participate next Sunday.
Last week Skagway tried to get a game
with Juneau at Skagway first and Ju
neau afterward, but both failed. Skag
way could got a game at Whiteborseon
Saturday, but that would mean that
there would have to >je a special train
and ? day lost. They will not permit
Sunday, baseball at Whitehorse and for
that reason there is like.y to "e fewer
matches between the Whitehorse peo
ple and those of Skngway than would
be the case were it otherwise.
May Oo to Duwtoa
Skagway might make arrangements
to go to Dawson this summer and play
j a series of games there. SheritT Eil
beck, while no longer an active man
ager, is in close touch with Dawson
baseball and has promised Manager
Tanner to use his best offices toward
getting up ao international tournament
at tbe Klondike capital.
That Juneau Invitation
Skagway invited Juneau to send her
baseball team up for a game tomorrow.
Juneau wilt positively refuse to go
either to Skagway or Whitehorse until
| those teams have visited Juneau. ?
Juneau Dispatch.
: Skagway offered to go to Juneau on
the same terms that it invited tbe
Juneau team to this place. Manager
Tanner offered to pay Juneau's ex
penses to Skagway and return and to
play here, the winning team to take 70
per cent, of the gate receipts. EIw also
offered to make a side bet of $-00 or
more. That being refused, he offered
to take his team to Juneau if similar
conditions were made. No reply was
received to this offer.
DANGER IN OELAV
i Kidney Dlaease* Ar? Too Dangerous
For Alaska People to Neglect
The great (laager of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before tie
sufferer recognizes them. Health t
gradually aoetmiiied. Backache heat
ache, nervousness, lameness, sorenetF,
lumbago, urinary troubles, drops;,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidteys with
the certain and safe remedy, Doan s
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 41.' i \V.
Fourth St., Olympia, Wasb..says: *'I
have no idea bow much suffering [
would have avoided had I known the
value of Do*n's Kidney Pills sooner.
For tbree years I have suffered, docto:
ed and treated for a dropsical condition
of the body without ever knowing the
true source of the trouble to be in the
kidneys, until, about two months ago,
when I was induoed to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills. I bad swelling of the feet
and limbs; my hands would puff up,
get tense and I could hardly close ih-ui.
Tue other sjmptoins were 'ost sight of
in toe more nolicenle ones. ALer pro
curing oosn's Kidney Pills, I found
prompt relief from the s-art. The
swelling and bloating were leduced
until they entirely disappeared and ?
toning up and strengthening of my
v hole system was felt. The other day
I climb'd up a steep bill without a
pause or a flutter of the heart. I was
not <> weeks ago that I tried the s rae
(eat and neany broke down in the
j attempt."

(Original. 1
Elmer Throop nt school and collcge
was u promising young man. After re
eelvlug Ills education be went abroad
to complete medical studies la Paris.
At bis departure be was full of bope,
life, vigor. He returned a changed
man. His exuberaut spirits were re
placed by a melancholy. He slimmed
social life and for several years Instead
of practicing his profession did noth
ing. He never will be the mau be
would have been because of an episode
that occurred to him while abroad.
In Paris Throop fell In with Flllp
Marcband. a mau ten years older than
himself, with whom he became Inti
mate. Mart-hand was uut a medical
man. He appeared to be a gentleman
of means, hailing from the south of
France. He and Throop usually dined
together at a cafe and when not other
wise engaged visited places of amuse
ment 'In company. One evening after
Throop had been out to a social gather
lug he called at Marchaud's looms In
an ecstasy over a woinau he had met
there? Mile. Annette Heaucheinln.
~*"\Yhqt Is she like'/" asked his friend.
"Tall, fair, hair light as a Swede's,
blue eyes. But all this is nothing com
pared with an Indescribable expression,
au expression that denetes a depth of
character to tlr her to lie a queen."
Throop did not re-st till he had called
upon Mile. Benucliemlu. His Infatua
tion did uot cool, (in the contrary. It
grew apace, fed by a mystery that
bung about the lady. Her name was
Freuch. aud she claimed to be a
Freueliwoman, but she spoke the lan
guage with an accent. She explained
this by sa*iug Unit she had lived much
In other countries. She was about
Throop's age aud lived alone with a
maid lu 11:1 apartment whose furnish
ings denoted that she was possessed of
considerable means. What people she
knew were of the best, but she knew
very few aud did not seem to care to
know more. For one so well fitted to
shine ill society she seemed singularly
averse to It. Indeed. Throop fouud It
Impossible to induce her to appear with
him in public.
All this the young doctor communi
cated to his friend. "1 fear something
wrong about lier,"' he added, "and If
there Is I shall lie a wrecked mau, for
1 feel that uiy \ery life is dependent
u|>ou her. 1 am gaining her affectum?
that I kuow? but if there Is any ob
stacle to marriage what will It be
worth to me'/"
"I will give you u plan by which you
may find out all about her," said Mar- ?
clmiid. "if you can contrive to put It In !
practice. A woman's history Is writ- j
ten in her clothes. (Jet u sight of her ?
wardrobe, and you shall know all."
The Idea, at first scouted, took hold j
of Throop, aud oue afternoon, having ;
called on Mile. Beaucbomin when she .
was uot at home, he told her maid that [
lie would wait for lier to come in. The
uuitl was iiDouc 10 go out neiseu, um.
knowing nl! Throop's lutluiacy with her
mistress, loft liiiti tn the apartments
[lie tcmptatiou was too ^reiit to be re
sisted. lie went Into the different
rooms and Inspected the wardrobe.
Xhe costumes varied. A few were
rich, others ordinary, anil there was
one that he thought should have be
longed to a peasant. What surprised
him was fur trimmings on moA of the
garments, and fur wraps were in abun
dance. Hut when he came upon a
man's suit, with hat and hoots, be was
astonished, dismayed.
Returning to the living room, he
wrote wilb a feverish hand a few
words on Ills card giving an excuse for
not waiting and hastily left the apart
ments. From there he went straight
to his friend's rooms. Marchnnd no
ticed that there was something on his
udud. but waited till he should ex
press it. The confidence did not come
at once, but Throop linally told the
whole story, asking at the linLsh:
"What do you think it means'/"
"It is a mystery Indeed," replied
Marchand, "anil looks bad. I would
advUe you to cut mademoiselle out of
your heart. Go home to America and
marry some one who doesn't need peas
ants' dresses and men's suits. And
now I must leave you. Tomorrow I
expect to go away from Paris, uot to
return for some time. Uoodby."
Throop was too intent ui>oti the rev
olations and their possible consequences
to himself to think much about his
friend's departure.
The next morning he arose and went
to a cafe for breakfast. After giving
his order he iauguidiy opened his pa
per. One of the flrst items that arrest
ed his attention under au appropriate
heading was the following:
"At midnight an arrest was made of
a woman who Is charged with an at
tempt on the life of the chief of police
at St. Petersburg. She has been living
in Paris under the name of Annette
Beauchemln. By some she Is supposed
to be the daughter of a prominent
Russian nobleman, by others a peasant
and by others the person who threw a
bomb six months ago in Warsaw. One
of the cleverest of French detectives,
employed by the Russian police, got on
her track by winning the confidence of
a young American who Jjas been devot
ed to her."
"Is monsieur ill?" asked the proprl
etor of the cafe, tapping Throop on the
shoulder.
Throop stared at the man blankly,
then staggered out of the cafe. He
followed the woman he had unwitting
ly betrayed to St. Petersburg, but
found the lips of the police sealed with
regard to her. He finally learned that
she was the daughter of a noble and
had committed political crimes dis
guised under various garbs, once as a
peasant girl, once as a man. But
whether she was sent to Siberia or se
cretly executed he docs not know to
this day. ESTHER BRERETON.
