How GREELEY LOST CONTROL OF
THE P'APER HE MADE FAMOUS.
The New York .Sun, Whose Editor
_ Was a (lo-laborer with Greeley on the
Tribune, Finds that Retributive Justice
Has Overtnken One of the Conspirators.
There comes back to the Sun some-
how just now the old story of Horace
Greeley’s expulsion from the Tribune.
oflice .by the man he had befriended
{ind made, his bewildered grief at the
discovery of treachery and selfish'
greed where he had expected to find
consolation and support, and then
speedily his tragic death. The incident
is the most pathetic in the whole his-
tory of American journalism. Poor
Greeley! The grass has grown brown
and green again for a quarter of a. cen-
tury over the grave into which he was
assisted by the hand which he trusted
and to which he reached out for help
in a supreme hour of misfortune. '
The narrative has been recited many
times in private and several times in
public; never, to-our recollection, more
tersely and effectively than by Mr.
James G. Clark a few years ago in the
Stockton Mail:
Mr. Greeley had been defeated in the
APresidential campaign, and had just
lost his faithful wife, at whose bedside
he watched day and night, going with-
out sleep for over a week—until the
end.
It was about this time that an edi-
torial article appeared in the Tribune
reviewing the campaign. It was writ-
ten in Mr. Greeley’s peculiar style, and
reflected severely upon old friends for
whom be entertained none but the kind-
liest feelings now that the battle was
over and lost.
“Greatly to Mr. Greeley’s grief and
mortification it was widely copied and
credited to the defeated candidate for
the Presidency. He wrote a disclaimer,
saying he knew nothing of the editorial
tilllhe saw it in print, and- that be,
greatly regretted its appearance.
“He sent the correction to the ofiw,
ordering its prompt publication. It was
not published, and he sent another
message which shared the fate of the
first. He then trotted down to the office
and upstairs, where he called the fore
man and asked him to print the dis-
claimer in, the next issue.
“The foreman answered: ‘Mr. Gree-
ley, it is the most. painful task of my
whole life to tell you that I am in-
structed by Mr. Reid, who has lately
been elected editor-in- chief of the Tri-
bune, to take no copy from your
hands.’
“The poor old man gasped for breath
as the truth dawned upon him, and ex-
claimed from the depths of an already
stricken and overburdened h'eart: ‘Well,
Iam of no more use in the Tribune,
.and I guess I am of no more luse any-
,where.’ . '
“N o wonder that the next act in the
drama took place in an insane hospital,
and that a few weeks later the curtains
lifted and revealed a new made grave.
This is the true story of the Tribune
tragedy.”
Such is the story as it has been told.
The exact, measure of the Hon. White-
law Reid’s personal. responsibility for
the overthrow of Horace Greeley’s
mind and the destruction of his body
can be known only to Mr. Reid’s own
conscience. The Hon. Whitelaw Reid
has made during the past twenty-five
years multitudes of friends whom he
has not betrayed. There are many in-
stances in which confidence reposed in
him has not been violated. After a de-
cent period of time he erected at the
~ doorway of the Tribune building a fine
bronze statue of Horace Greeley, sitting
in a. bronze chair and looking over
Printing House Square toward the
West that had given him Whitelaw
Reid.
In recalling this somewhat unpleas-
ant past, forgotten by many, remem'
bored by few, we wonder if the time
has come for the erection of a bronze
Whitelaw Reid, to sit in a bronze chair
at the other side of the Tribune’s por-
tal, bearing Horace Greeley company
in the pathetic exclusion which ingrati-
tude has contrived and selfish intrigue
accomplished. After Greeley, White-
law Reid; after Whitelaw Reid, Mil-
holland. Justice proceeds with meas-
ured steps, but sometimes she registers
her decrees in a strikingly dramatic
fashion. And when we say that by a
refinement of retributive fate White-
law Reid has encountered at last the
same humiliating notice of supercedure,
his powerlessness to use the columns of
his own newspaper'for his own pur-'
poses and response to his own proper
impulses, we judge strictly according
to recent events Within our knowledge.

_ , ,
The Prince of “’ales Owns Persimmon th
, Winner of 1896. *
The leaven of romance which lends so
much glamour to the sport of horse ra-
cing has rarely shOwn itself to such an
lish derby. Even non-believers in roy-
alty were moved to unwanted enthusi-
asm by the result, and the scene at the
historic Epsom Downs when Persim-
land’s heir apparent first past the post
was one which will be talked of for
generations. The result was hailed as
the triumph of a good sportsman pluck-
ily [persisting after nineteen years of
almost unbroken bad luck. That he
happened to be the Prince of Wales
1
made little difierence to the majority of
the multitude that saw the classic race.
~A good colt, well bred, well ridden and
well backed, had won the “blue rib-
bon.” and the plaudits would probably
have been just as hearty and vociferous
if the winner belonged to a plain civili-
an instead of to “the first gentleman in
Europe.” ‘
r. The race for the classic Derby always
commands the attention of 'the racing
world, but the latest struggle was an
unexceptionable event in many respects.
It marked the defeat of St. Frusquin,
one of the hottest favorites that ever
went to the post for the three-year-old
championship, and it attained double
significance as representing the first
Derby captured by royalty for over one
hundred years.

pass the pearly gates without being
instantly transformed into woman. The
natural conclusion one arrives at after
reading the tenets of this queer sect is
that unless a vegetable eating man can

as the Wung-Foo- Cheti- Sen, and are

There are some who may not approve

it is not exaggeration to state that no
religious movement was ever started in
this country which acquired followers
and gained in strength so rapidly as the
American Volunteers. '
It is now only a few months since
Commander and Mrs. Booth began
their campaign for the evangelizatiim
of America under the banner of their
new organization. Yet what they have
accomplished thus far is almost a cer-
tain guarantee of success for the future.
After all the strife and contention that
followed the expulsion or resignation of

those who had consecrated themselves

DIDN’T CATCH HIS TRAIN.
for Lack of Being Called
Often Enough.
It was a very small Western town
and the only train out of it that night
left at .2 o’clock, says Harper’s Maga-
zine. The traveling man had impressed
upon the night porter of the hotel the
importance of calling. him is. time for
.this train. Promptly at 1.30 a prodi-
gious knock roused the sleeper.
“Say, be yez the man that wants the
2 o’clock train?” '
“Yes,” was the sleepy reply from
within.
It. was Not}
as she's so much late."
The heavy feet shuffled oil: down the
hall, and silence ensued. UAnotber
hour had passed when Pat again
knocked.
“Say! Be yez the felly_ what said
he wanted to ketch the 2 o'clock
thrain‘?" - ~
"Yes!”
And there was a sound of the man
hastily sprifiging from his bed.
“Well,” drawied Pat, ”you can go
back to had again, for she's another
hour late." .
A forcible remark or two proceeded
from the traveling man’s room, and
were audible to his awakened neigh-
bors, as was the departure of Pat; but
soon all was quiet again, and the few
occupants of the hotel were left for
some time to undisturbed repose. Just
as the first. faint streaks of dawn were
tinging the sky Pet once more inside his
presence known, and, in tones giving
unmistakable evidence of recent and
heavy slumber. remarked:
“Sayl if yez is the felly what wanted

EX-QUEEN NATHALIE.
it is Said Her Wayward Son will Soak the
H and of an Heiress.
The boy King Alexander of Servia
needs ready money very badly, and he
has decided that an American heiress
will solve all the troubles of his bank-
rupt kingdom.
A throne is, therefore, awaiting any
American girl who has sufficient wealth
l to meet the requirements. This is prob-
:1ny the first time in American history
I that such an opportunity has ever been
offered.
Along with the distinguished title of
Queen goes a palace, a crown, a collec-
tion of royal jewelry of stupendous an-
throughout Servia.
Servia is one of thekingdoms that
sprung up out of the ruins of the R0-
man empire. The people are Slavonic,
with some slight traces of the Roman
influence.
NATHALIE.
King Milan, Alexander’s father, was
a. hot-headed spendthrift and sensualist,
with no political skill. He was dis-
graced by the defeat which Prince Al-
exander inflicted on the Servians. He
quarreled with his handsome wife,
Queen Nathalie, who has no better tem-
per than himself,
shamefully in public. Then he divorced
her and expelled her from the country.
For a time she kept her son with her.
Twice King Milan caused the boy to be
kidnapped and taken from his mother.
"On these occasions the young Alexander
behaved with much spirit, and resisted
the kidnappers furiously.
Then a revolution drove Milan from
the throne of Servia, and Alexander
was proclaimed King, with a council of
regency. In 1893, when but 17 years
of age,'he executed a coup d’etat, de-
prived the regents of their power, and
became King of Servia in fact.
