A Message of Sympathy from Victoria.
English Press Comments.
IVASHINGTON, Aug. 14. -—The acting sec
reth of state has received through the
British minister at this city the following
telegram from the Ma1quis of Salisbury:
“The queen desires to express her 301-
row and regret at the news which has just
reached this country of Mr. Low ell' 5
death.”
Sir Julian Paunceforte requested that
this telegram be laid before the president
By his direction a copy was immediately
transmitted to the family of the deceased.
LONDON, Aug. 13,—The Times says: “The
death of Mr. Lowell is probably more
keenly and widely felt in England than
that of any other American, or, indeed, of
any man not a fellow countryman.
“W’ith his death there passes into his-
tory a really remarkable min‘d, whose
reputation will grow with time.
“Corrupt politicians hated him, but he
goes to the grave mourned by all that is
best in America and amid the heartfelt
regard and admiration of England.”
The Standard says: “America may claim
the distinction of his birth, but his fame
belongs to the wider republic speaking the
English tongue. ”
The Daily News says: “Mr. Lmvcll will
be lamented in England not less rk.-1:1
America. He was ever a. fighter, and al-
wuys 0n the side of truth, honesty, justice,
freedom, mercy and peace.”
All the other London morning newspa-
pers contain similar comments and 1011';'
obituary notices.

The Talk Drove Him to Suicide.
SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 14.—Dr. Arthur
Jones killed himself at his home here,
shooting three bullets into his left breast.
He had grown melancholy and despond—
ent over the talk of neighbors connecting
him with the death of his wife several
weeks ago, the charge being made that
while she was confined he came home
drunk and dragged her down stairs by the
hair, the injuries she received resulting in
her death. He denied these charges, but
the neighbors persisted in them, and he
hid himself until the funeral was over to
avoid meeting some of the women who
a threatened him harm. The talk did not
cease, however, and he finally said he
,VV'ould take his own life. He came here
six years ago, after graduating at J effer-
son Medical college, Philadelphia.
Very Unique Indeed.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 14,—The most unique
wedding ever known in the west occurred
here last night. Justice of the Peace J. P.
Ganzhorn went into the saloon of Thomas
Davis in company with Mrs. Alvina
Archer, a grass widow with a quarter of a
million of dollars, called Davis into the
wineroom and empowered him to perform
the ceremony of marriage. Davis moun 1e 1
the table in the center of the room, and.
with the justice’s marriage formula in
hand, performed the ceremony. He then
jumped down and kissed both the bride
and bridegroom. Mrs. Archer-Ganzhorn
belongs to one of the pioneer families oi
the city.
OBITUARY.
THERSA OLSEN,
The wife of Theodore H. Olsen, died
last night at 10 o’clock at her home, 29
High street, of the cancer from which
she has been so long such a patient suf-
ferer. She was forty-five years old and
was a native of the State of New York.
Her case has been one of great and
long protracted sufi'ering, and the pa-
tient fortitude and resignation with
which she has. the past few months,
awaited her final release, has awakened
throughout our community a wide sym-
' pathy for her and her stricken family.
She was a faithful, loving wife and
mother and her end was peace, “puri-
fied through suffering.”

OLD TIMES IN TEXAS.
flow a Quaker Vigilante Made Friends
with Ben Thompson, of Austin.
'When John R. Hoxie came to Texas to
live twenty years ago one of ,the first
things he did to identify himself with the
country was to join a vigilance committee.
Mr. Hoxie, is reputed to be the largest in-
dividual taxpayer in the state. He is sev-
eral times a millionaire. His ancestors
were Quakers. His training was all for
peace. But su-'h were the conditions of
societyin that part of Texas to which he
moved from Illinois that he soon found
himself at the head of a volunteer organi-
zation of his neighbors to enforce morality
by vigorous measures.
Mr. l-loxie went down to Galveston to
attend a public gathering. A community
of 10,000 or 12,000 people was trying to play
host to a crowd of 40,000 or 50,000 strangers.
Mr. Hoxie was late getting in, and the
clerk of the hotel said in a somewhat du-
bious tone:
“Mr. Hoxie, I’ll have to put you in a
room with Mr. Thompson, of Austin.”
“That’s all right, sir,” said Mr. Hoxie.
The bell boy led the way up stairs, opened
the door and stepped back. Mr. Hoxie en-
tered. A man sprang up in a sitting pos-
ture on the bed as suddenly as if he had
been on springs, dropped two revolvers,
one in each hand. upon Mr. Hoxie, and
glared.
“Lie down, my friend,” said Mr. Hoxie
calmly. “I’m not going to trouble you.
There’s room enough here for both of us.”
The man with the pistols apologized,
with the remark that he had been suddenly
aroused from sleep, and thus the million-
aire from Illinois made the acquaintance
of Ben Thompson, of Austin.
111 the morning Mr. Hoxie rose first. He
made some noise in getting around the
room. In an instant Thompson was up in
bed again, with his trusty pistols in hand.
“Oh, lie down and finish your sleep,”
said Mr Hoxie. “I could have shot three
times w bile you were getting ready if I’d
wanted to.’
Mr. Thompson explained that he had
been up a good deal recently, and his
nerves were unsteady. He hoped that his
fellow guest would excuse his bad breaks.
“What you want, my friend,” said Mr.
Hoxie, soothingly and with Quaker de—-
“Is a gin cocktail about so,
liberation.
high,” indicating the tallest glass in use,
“with plenty of orange and ice In it.”
Mr. Thompson sighed and replied, “I
can’t get up and dress yet; I’m too shaky ”
“Never mind," said the millionaire, and
he went down stairs, had the cocktail
built under his personal supervision, and
carried it back up stairs with his own
hands. Mr. Thompson sat up in bed with-
out his pistols this time, and from that day
till he died with his boots on in a San
Antonio theater he was the friend of the
Quaker vigilante-Cor. St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
How Elephants Arc Tamed.
In the island of Ceylon the people are
very fond of elephant hunting. They be
gin by clearing an open space near a fofest,
part of which is strongly fenced in with
trunks of trees, with Open places for doors.
This is called a corral. \Vhen so much of
the work is done the natives get behind
and around the elephants with blazing
torches, shaking spears and rattling all
kinds of 1ioisy°instruments in order to
frighten the huge animals While all the
time driving them toward the open doors
of the corral.
At last with a rush the great herd enters,
the entrances are barred, and the poor
giants of the woods find themselves hope-
lessly imprisoned. An elephant’s rage is
dreadful to witness, but the ingenuity of
man has found a way of subduing it. One
by one each prisoner is freed again, and
tame elephants, remarkable for " their
sagacity, come up to him, stroke him with
their trunks and otherwise cajole him
until they lead him on to a good, strong
tree. The natives creep up behind, and in
aminute a rope With a running knot is
around the elephant’s leg and made fast to
a. tree.
All the time this is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded vic-
tim, but as soon as he is secured they go
away and leave him, which is a shabby
trick._ Then the men bring him nice cocoa-
nuts and leaves to eat, which, of course, he
refuses, as he is again in a great passion
and struggling to be free. But hunger
subdues even the fiercest, and at last his
wild roaring ceases to resound through the
woods and he is forced to eat.
From that time the taming process is
comparatively easy; again and again he is
fed, as he requires it, by a kind hand; and
the elephant, susceptible to kindness, be-
comes at last a docile servant of the man.
