. Forakee Polities Bis BUI to Them With Stones. Confederate veterans and-Southern ers generally "are taking a deep inter If eat in the Foiaker bill to appropriate I ?200,000 to nay the lands in Northern states wberin rest the bodies of Con federates <rho died in the- Northern . prisons fn the civil war, to improve ; these grounds substantially and to erect headstones over the graves. A good deal of Northern sentiment, too, is with the people of the South in this 'i matter, as is evidenced by the fact ' that Senator Forakcr, himseli a fire eating veteran of the rebellion, is urg ing the passage of the bill. President Roosevelt himself is fa vorable to proper care of the graves of Confederates who died in the Northern prisons. He recommended this in his last menage. President McKinley was also favor able to it and through his efforts the Confederate dead in the District of Columbia over six years ago were all brought together in Arlington ceme tary and a separate plat prepared for them. The great difficulty in the way of the proper care of the Confederate graves in the Northern states is In the house. There, for the political reason that survivors of the civil war In the Northern states might ob j cot to appropriating money to expend on the graves of Confederates, nothing has been done and the opposition to doing anything has by no means pass ed. The bill Senator Foraker now has introduced, has already been twice passed by the senate. Statistics gatheedon the number of Confederate dead In the North show the total la 30,152. Of the number 3,300 are buried in the national ceme teries. Their graves are given as good attention as those of the soldiers who defended the union. The graves of the remained are scattered about and designation-and location are rap Idly becoming imposible. Unless the government takes charge of them and either buys the land in which they are situated or removes the. remains of national cemetaries, it will in a few years, be out of the question to find them. Highly Connected Beggar. With his mind wrecked by years of hardship, George Adams Robinson, a descendant of two presidents of the United States, a Harvard graduate of the class of 1861, a veteran cf the civil war, a tairty-s- cond degree Ma son, stood before the oity court at Bridgeport, Conn., Tuesday morning pleading for his liberty. Two weeks ago Robinson was taken in charge by the authorities for asking alms on the street and was placed in the alms house. Robinson, who is seventy years oldjs the son of a Dr. Robin son, of Boston. His mother was a' daughter of John Quinoy Adams, sixth president of the United State, and a grandaughter of John Adams, the second president. R binson is a seining engineer, and has spent much 01' his time in the West. The year he was graduated from Harvard he en listed in the Eighth regiment, Mass acbusetts volunteers, and saw service under both Sherman and Sheridan. Lives Oat ot Doors. Rev. Dr. John Clendennln, a son-in law of Horace Greeley, believes he owes bis life to living cut of dcors day and night. When he took up his abode in the open last September he was thin and. emaciated and had a ? had cough, but from the time he be gan sleeping out of doors he began to show improvement and now believes he has been cured. During the last six months Dr Clendennln has .practi ' cally lived in the open air spending but little more time within doors than It takes to eat. He drives dur the day or indulges in long tramps, but be sleeps on a balcony off the third story of his house. v Poopla Burned. At Lowell, Mass., at least six per sons lost their lives in a fire which partly destroyed the Richardson Ho j tel, early Friday morning. The ?re ' started a few minutes before 2 o'clock arid the flames rapidly communicated to various parts of the structure. A large number of guests were in the hotel, and those who were in the up p?r part of the building had little chance to escabe by the stairways. The firemen at 2.30 o'cicck found the dead bodies of six women in the tcp! floor of the hotel. Murdered.

Calling all her family and the guests around her, the girl said she never could be happy with a maa she did not love, and that she preferred death to a lifetime of misery. Before any one could Interfere, or even before her intent was suspected, she had swallowed two ounces of laudanum. Miss Graham will live, and in all probability she will wed another. She is slowly recovering in the Frankfort hospital, where an extraordinary in cident to the case happened Wednes day afternoon, The rejected Buitor Reuben Dean, twenty one years old, of 2051 Margaret street, attired In readiness for bis wedding, came face to face with Charles Parfitt, his suc cessful rival, at the bedside of the girl. Dean had rushed in dismay from the brides home while Parfitt had come frcm his cilice. Until news was brought to him that the young woman was near death, Parfitt did not 6ven know that this was to be her wedding day. For a moment the men hashed looks of anger at each other, but apparently being moved by the thought of death hovering over the girl uncouncious on the cot at their sides, they turned away with out a word, and left the room by op posite doors. The physicians when they heard of the meeting gave strict orders that it should not happen again. Tney were irritated over she1 affair, saying that had Miss Graham been in a state to observe the men, she might have experienced a mortal 3bock. >, The youDg woman was rntraged to wed Dean when she met Pirfitt and Thursday night when she was said to be out of danger and steadily pick ing up her strength, she said she had ntc hod the courage tc tell Dean she ironic! marry him. She said that she could not llgbtfy dismiss to the man who had asked ber to be his wife, but that all of last night her heart grew in heaviness ever the prospect of sep aratingherself from Parfitt fcrsver. All morning Miss Graaam kept her self locked in the'room, and only an hour before the time set for the cere mony, which was to take place in the parlor of her parent's home, did she join her Tamil*. Then she seemed to be all merriment and happiness. But her hilarity was only assumed as a mask to conceal her grief which quickly carried her to despair.
