COXY ARMY FOR LONDONLetter
Sent to King Edward Detailing the Wants
of the Unemployed.
London, June 17.?London is to have
its Coxy army. It is to start from Leicester.
Several attempts have been made to
enroll the Coxeyites and start from
Leicester, about five hundred men enrolling.
This latest program is considered
more dangerous. The following letter
has been sent to the king:
- "To His .Most Gracious Majesty, King
Edward VII: j
"May it please your majesty: We, your
most faithful and loyal subjects of the !
Leicester unemployed workmen, beg to |
acquaint your majesty of our great sufferings
from want of employment.
"We have suffered long and patiently,
and as there is no immediate suggestion
of our sufferings being lessened, we make
bold to present our complaint in person
to your majesty, knowing how deeply
you have been interested in the housing
question and other matters concerning
the welfare of the poor.
"Many of us are old soldiers, and took
an active part in the late South African
*war.
"We are reduced to the extremes of
misery and want. We are unable to fulfill
one of the first duties of husbands and
fathers, namely, to provide for our wives
and children.
"In our sorrow we turn to your majesty,
as father of the people, and humbly ask
you to receive us and use your kindly
and powerful influence in our behalf.
"I am, on behalf of the Leicester unemployed,
your dutiful and humble subject.
"George White."

How Charles Brown, a Texas cow-1
boy, wearing a sombrero, a flannel shirt
and high heeled boots, with an ancient
pistol as long as your arm In his belt,
thought he could pass htmsetf off as a
collector for a New York dressmaker
is a question which only Charles
| Brown can answer. But he did think
so and was pot In Jail charged with
j attempted larceny.
Brown appeared at the apartment of
I Mme. Josephine Jacoby, an opera singer,
In New York and presented a dressI
maker's bill for $T5 which he said be
I bad been sent to collect Mme. Jaco1
by*s French maid, Marie de Meredllle,
told the man that her mistress was not
at home. Brown said he would call
again in the morning.
When Mme. Jacoby heard of the
man's visit rite telephoned her dressmaker
and was told that a bin for
$75 had been mailed to her, but none
sent by collector. The opera singer
notified the police to send some one to
assist her In receiving the man on his

door.
"Just a little bill from yonr dressmaker;

sombrero.
"Wait a min ate till I get the money,"
replied the singer.
She gave the signal to Fttspatrick,
wbo went down a rear stairway and
came up the front stairs behind Brown.
As the detective seized him Brown
reached for his big pistol and had it
almost drawn when Fttzpatrick placed
bis own revolver at Brown's bead.
"All right partner," said Brown.
"You've got the drop. PU go quiet"
At the police station Brown said be
landed in Chicago some months ago
from the X. I. T. ranch In Texas, drifted
to New York and bed gone "broke."

remark, "Try to get in as a plumber"

A romance has come into the ttfe of
I Gregorio Cortez, the convicted murderer
of Sheriff W. T. Morris of Karoos
county, Tex? and who is also charged
with the murder of Sheriff Dick. Glover
of Gonzales county and Deputy
Sheriff EL Schnabel, also of that county,
says the St Louis Post-Dtepatch.
With only a few days Intervening before
his removal from the county Jail
at Columbus, Tex^ to be placed behind
the dark and forbidding wails of the
state penitentiary at Busk, Oortez
COBTEZ OOSTLSfUBD TO VUU
wedded a pretty and young Mexican
senorita. Tbe bride was Miss Bstefado
Garza, tbe daughter of Joes and
Moneta Garza, respected peopte of
Manor, Tex.
Tbe happy couple, through tbe good
graces of Sheriff W. EL Bridge, spent
their honeymoon in tbe upper tier of
cells of tbe coooty >ab at Oofcsibus.
Cortez is under sentence of life imprisonment
for tbe murder of Sheriff
Morris. Tbe sentence has been aOrmed
by tbe court of criminal appeals, and
as soon as tbe mandate is reoeived
from that court by Sheriff Bridge tbe
prisoner will be ton. from his bride
and conveyed to tbe penitentiary.
The separation will be forever, as
there is small chance of tbe convicted
man leaving tbe prison alive. Be is
now about forty years oM, and tbe
crime which be committed was so atrocious
as to preclude any possibility of
his ever being pardoned. Life prisoners
are even denied tbe privilege of writing
or receiving letters, and all visitors
to them are debarred. He will be as
completely abut out from all sight and
beariDg of bis bride of a few days as if
be were in bis grave. That fact is tbe
great shadow over tbe honeymoon of
die couple. They say they dread tbe
separation, which both know must soon
come, more than they would death Itself.
Tbe marriage of the Gam gJM and
Cortes was unexpected to her dually
and friends. She bad mat Cortes few

MUIW WAV* V www ? ?
which be Is charged were committed,
but no one knew that she bad a feeling
of love for him. She followed the case
through Its many phases closely, and
her unusual Interest in the prisoner attracted
the attention of her acquaintances.
She finally made known to the
mother of Cortex that she lored the
convicted man and would like to see
him. A meeting was arranged, and the
couple had a long conference in the
jail. Cortex proposed marriage and
was accepted. Miss Garza returned
home and prepared for the wedding. A
few days ago, accompanied by the
mother of Cortex, she came to Columbus
and told Sheriff Bridge that she
wanted to marry the prisoner The
sheriff assented, and the cert Ply was
performed in the corridor of the jail by
J. J. Mansfield, county judge, In the
presence of Sheriff Bridge, Mrs. Bridge
and Conrad Byeg* _

The Cortez case is cme of the most
remarkable in the criminal annals of
Texas. He lived in Karnes county
and was looked upon as a peaceable
and law&biding citizen. In the early
part of 1901 a series of cattle thefts
took place in that section, and Sheriff
W. T. Monte started to round up the
thieves. He found evidence that pointed
to Qregorio Cortes and his brother,
Bomaldo Cortes.
They were in a room in a Mexican
shack, and when they learned the object
of the visit of the officer they
opened fire on Mm Sheriff Morris returned
the fire and fatally wounded
Bomaldo Cortez. Gregorlo Cortes continued
to fire, and one of his bullets
struck the officer and killed him. The
murderer fled. The news of the crime
quickly spread over to adjoining counties
and caused intense excitement
The murdered officer was widely
known and very popular. A posse
soon got on the trail of Qregorio
Cortes. He was pursued through the
mesQuite brush into Qonsales county,
where the trail was taken up by Sheriff
Dick Glover of that county and a
posse of deputies. They located the
fugitive in a wagon bed near a Mexican
shack and surrounded the spot for
the purpose of effecting his capture.
Suddenly Cortex opened fire upon
thorn, and, Jumping from his place of
concealment, he fought his way
through the force of armed men and

MORE TROUBLE FOR MURRAY.
The Negro Ex-Congressman Arrested for Per.
fury in Sumter.
George W. Murray, the negro ex-Congressman,
was arrested Tuesday on a
warrant issued by Magistrate Harby,
charging him with perjury. The warrant
was issued as an outgrowth of the charge
of forgery for which Murray was tried,
convicted and sentenced to the chain
gang more than a year ago. It is a matter
of common notoriety; an appeal was
taken to the 8upreme Court from the
verdict of the Sessions Court, which appeal
is still pending.
When the warrant was served on Mur- '
ray Tuesday he immediately arranged to
give bond for his appearance for trial at
the next term of the Court of General
Sessions and he was released.?Sumter
Item.
It begins to look as if Norway and
Sweden are really going to have a scrap.
The Norwegian army is massing on the
border of 8weden, the Swedish navy is
maneuvering and the government of
Sweden has proclaimed the four ports of
the nation under martial law and foreign
warships are excluded from them. It is a
very foolish disposition on the part of the
two Scandinavian kingdoms.
"Mark Twain whs visiting H. H. Rogers,"
said a New York editor, according .
to The Pilgrim. "Mr. Rogers led the
humorist to his library. 'There,' he said,
as he pointed to a bust of white marble,
'what do you think of that?' It was a bust
of a young woman coiling her hair, a very t
graceful example of modern Italian sculpture.
Mr. Clemens looked at it a moment
and then he said: 'It isn't true to nature.'
'Why not?' Mr. Rogers asked. '8he
ought to have her mouth full of hair pins.'
said the humorist." /
Dr. P. H. Mell went to Washington
Monday at the invitation of the Southern 1
railway, to make arrangements for a
special "Farmers' institute car." Dr. Mell's
idea is to have a car especially
fitted up with apparatus, exhibits, etc.,
which will be carried over the State,
stopping at stations long enough to give
special instructions and information to
the farmers. Specialists from Clemson
will go along to give this information.
This will eertainly result in great good
to the agricultural interests of South Carolina.
It is to be hoped that Dr. Mell
will succeed in making arrangements to "
carry out the plan.
