It is v written by .Voreton Frewen, an inti- n mate friend of the- senator since n IS78. It is entitled "Ad Memoriam: h 'Jones of Nevada.' " it * The article attempts to portray his n rugged character by bringing together a series of personal anecdotes, V / toia ior ine must pun, m iuc ucau i & man's own language. -Mr. Frewen h regarded Senator- Jones as one of c the most romantic characters in the S] public life of this generation and ti -speaks with a deep sense of personal F loss of his death at his beatiful Santa t< A -Monica home in So uhern California g r . last month. He continues: v j -i John Percival Jones was born in t; Hereford about 1S2G. What I can tl . put on record of this wonderful roll- e ^ ing stone is only the memory I re- T tain of innumerable conversations dating back nearly iive-anJ-thiri;? i? : years. -My old friend was really a e< shy and unobtrusive personality, a p ' _studious, thoughtful and romantic. U as ?one is likely to be who had lived, w in his own words, "much alone in tc the mountains with his Maker." I e often begged him to leave some lit- h erary fragment of a life so really s< historic when we recall its immense n i span, from the marches of Wales to n California, from the ministry of n Liverpool to the presidency of Taft. t< tit is possible that some members of C his charming family or his attached is secretary, Mr. Eugene Davis, may t( have in store for the world\a book of a surpassing interest: but for the I present sketch I must rely altogether n on a nipmnrv whieh li?> imnressed. \v ^ perhaps, more than any man I en- h f countered on all my tramps abroad. s< I heard Senator Jones once reply a to an English friend who said: v? "When shall I dine with you in the a White House?"?"Alas, never! The n dearest wish of the great American & nation is thwarted, for 1 was born in tl England. But the caste exclusive- a ness of you English was so repel- fi 'y lent that when I was five months tl iold I decided to emigrate, and I took a all my family with me." w Passing rapidly over the emigra- b tion of the Jones family to the f] JJnited States and the subsequent a seizure of John Percival and his two e brothers with the gold fever in IS49, f< Mr. Frewen plunges into his own a memories of his friend, after he had o -3ti hnnnrprl mpmber of the rl national legislature. He recalls a f: conversation which he had with the s senator in Cleveland's term, at a time n of great industrial depression. The s; senator said: k t No man lacking in humor can run c; E this nation. The first president I ( r knew was Lincoln. Lincoln liked s me, liked my stories of the West; s told me good stories-, too.' Times in b 1864 were bad in Nevada; the S ['"boys" wanted postoilices and small "( trifles of that kind. I had gone to d the president with a considerable r list. He signed them all. As I was d ? leaving, he said: John go slow on It . this office business:.remember, thirty [ millions of people are knocking at B my door, and all told there are less ; k n than a quarter of a million offices." j n B But a few da\s later some other .T good fellow had written me from the) W West, and I went again to the White i si v 3 > House and found the president sit- d K ting on the sofa. Before I could tell j a ft him what I wanted he said: John.lt] ft I am a sick man." I said: Mr. presi- ji m dent, you are. You have got all the I symptoms of smallpox." Well! that e f I Teat man grasped my hand and aid: "The intention of an allwise 'rovidence is clear. I have at last ^ot something that i can give to this ntire nation!" That was a man. When in 1 MIS Gen. Grant had just 'snowed under" Gov. Seymour for lie presidency, it so happened thai ter the elections Gov. Seymour and we?v recruiting at tile same hotel t. Saratoga. Toe defeated Democrat ras not merely dejected, hut bitter. )ue evening he said to tnc: 1 don't tiind defeat, but this entire camaign was unilinmined by a sing;-' it. of generosity on the part of the iepuidiean party Mast of West." 1 aid: "Thcr- . governor, you Are dead .long. 1 could tell >ou of many; 1 tvntent myself with one. Your l'el;?ws out in Nevada were driving me ard. On the very election day I lniost lost hope. I said to my elecion agent, 'Sheriff, have you really oted our whole strength?' He said: senator, 1 have, and more. .Many a ian who died in his boots here ten ears ago has to-day voted the traight Republican ticket. Ms here,' said I. 'no one at all 0:1 your onscienee, sheriff?' He hesitated nd then said: 'Well, George Foot, ho is to be hanged to-mororw, I did ot vote him. Seemed a little tough 0 trouble him with national politics is very last day.' Why, I said, 'You re all wrong. Get George out; let im see the "boys;" it will encourage im to-morrow should he play the itizen to-day. So the sheriff voted 1111 in each of the sixteen precincts, nd I thought it proper to express ly acknowledgement in person.. The risoner said: 'Senator, I have hvnwn civtppn vnfps for Gen. Grant: ow let me throw one for the man f my heart, Gov. Seymour.' ' I said: Sheriff, vote him for Seymour.' It :as his last wish in this world, and o doubt made his rather abrupt exit lore agreeable. Now, governor, ow is that for 'illuminating generos;y?' Conceivably it might have cost le my election." Though Jones was as witty as his Western State was wild, Mr. Frewen oes on to say, his wit was far from aving the cutting quality which haracterized that of "Tom" Reed, peaker of the house of representaives. Confronted with a bore. Mr. 'rewen declares, the senator shatered and silenced him with conratulations.

It was the ay the dear old fresh-faced se:iair told them that delighted his audi-I nce. One more story I should rette for its-historic interest. On the enator's return from the Erussels tonetary conference he dined with i e at White's, and during the diner .Mr. Henry Chaplin ashed him to Ml us how he came by the great omstock mine.

IJehind liis desk in the office of his I art glass establishment at tlhb G ! .street northwest, in Washington. as j ; much engrossed in the business of; to-day as any youthful apprentice.! sits tin last human link between thej i.it soni and the greatest tragedy of j Amen an history, says a Washington ( : dispatch to tin- Chicago Daily New*. He is E. A. Emerson, last of the lead-j ing actors in the troupe that played j "The American Cousin" at the old Ford Theatre, in Washington, on that i : fatal night in April, 1 s?*.A. when the j i lnillet of Wilkes Eooth took away j ' the life of President Lincoln and j I rumbled the country into chaos. Mr. j Emerson appeared on that occasion | in the role of Lord Dundreary, the j : dandified and bemonocled English j "sv.eli," probably the best known j [ and certainly the most popular role i in the play. When the Shot Gang Out. "I was not on the stage git the time o: the tragedy." said .Mr. Emerson recently. "It is nearly half a century i ago. but tlie events v.ere imprinted too deeply on my mind for me ever * ~ If- <-n inet oftor IU i UI lliClll. i *. w CIO juci Uiwvx the beginning of the third and last act and I was leaning up against a ; piece of scenery iu the wings, waiting | for my cue to go on, when I heard a shot. j "Truth compels me to say that this : caused not the slightest ripple of ex' citement among any of us back of the i stage. There were, we knew, a score I of causes in all the various parapherj nalia of the-stage mechanism that ! might cause a sound like that. We ' were a littie bewildered for a moment i by the apparition on the stage of a ! man who didn't belong there, crying ; out something we could not clearly j understand. But, you must remem; her. the war had just come to an ! end, the president was in the- house : and most of the actors, I am sure, thought, for a few minutes, that it was just some prearranged patriotic J * .? ? * -> 1 K /? n-1 i t a t* O tKJiiiuasti ciiiun. E.vc-11 uie ui n 1 man dashing through the wings did ; not bring us to any realization of the : truth. "Then suddenly there sped through the troupe gathered on the stage and in the wings the cry. "The president's shot!' Hurry 011 Track of Hooth. i "Then, indeed there was confusion worse than confounded?a veritable whirlpool of actors, supers, policemen burning oil the track of Booth. I cvt.li some oi the audience, all mixed j in one inextricable chaos of mad | humanity on the stage. Even then. | in the hysteria of the moment, the curtain was not run down and it was j I some minutes after the president was I : taken from his box before it fell. ! , Meantime from the stage we could \ see them tearing the martvred man's : I I clothing from him in a mad search 1 ' I | for the wound even as they-bore him away. "A little while later 1 went to the box the president had occupied. Just to the side of the chair in which he had sat I found a crumpled programme. I am confident?though I have no absolute proof?that it was the programme he had in his hand when the fatal bullet struck him, and in the agony of the shock he cruhibleu and dropped it. Here it is." i .Mr. Emerson held up a framed pro: grain me of the play. It was yellow with age. On it was a dark, sinister ! spot about the size of a dime, j "When I picked it up," continued | Mr. Emerson, "that spot was on it? ' wet. Of course I cannot say certainly, i but I am convinced that it was a drop of the life blood of President Lin; coin." + Recalls a Booth Incident. "I was well acquainted with young i Booth," Mr. Emerson continued, when asked about his knowledge of i the man responsible for the tragedy. "1 had played with him in theatres all | over tlie country. One incident 1 recall very vividly, occurring the morn' ing before the fatal night; a certain cane I have at my house, snapped into , four pieces, will ever make me mindj ful of it. That morning as I stood i before the stage door of the theatre | Wilkes Booth came up to me. He was in a highly nervous state. As be stopped and spoke lie snatched my cane from my hand, and, with an agitated gesture, swung it over his shoulders.. " 'Do you know what that man has done?' he cried, almost hysterically. "1 knew to whom he referred, for I Lincoln had been an obsession with I him' ever since Lee had evacuated ! Richmond a fortnight before, j " 'He went down to Richmond yesterday,' Booth continued, 'sat in j President Davis's chair and put his i feet on President Davis's desk. Somebody ought to kill him." "With that he brought his two hands, holding the ends of the cane, down with such force that it snapped in four pieces. I gathered them up, intending to have them repaired, but kept them as they were after the events that followed. "1 tried to quiet him, telling him I A Strange Story. In the northern part of Austin there once dwelt an honest family by I the name of Smothers. The family ! consisted of John Smothers, his wife, himself, their little daughter, five j 1 years of age, and parents, making J six people, toward the population of j the city when counted for a special write-up. hut only three by actual count. One night after supper the little girl was seized with a. severe colic and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine. Me never came back. The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. J The mother grieved very much over her husband's disappearance, and it was nearly three months before she married again and moved to San Antonio. The little girl aiso married in time, e and after a few years had rolled v around, she also had a little girl five s years of age. t She still lived in the same house where they dwelt when her father | had left and never returned. i One night by a remarkable coinci dence her little girl was taken with 'l cramp colic on the anniversary of the r disappearance of John Smothers, who ? would now have been her grand- 1 father if he had been alive and had c a steady job. j "I will go downtown and get some t medicine for her," said John Smith (for it was none other than he whom 1; f she had marriea.) t "No, no, dear John," cried his c wife. "You too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come \ back." * So John Smith did not go, and to- a gether they sat by the bedside of lit- t tie Pansy (for that was Pansy's a name.) After a little, Pansy seemed to grow worse, and. John Smith again t attempted to go for medicine, but his t wife would not let him. j Suddenly the door opened and an c old man, stooped and bent, with long s white hair, entered the room. 1 "Hello, here is grandpa," said Pansy. She had recognized him before t any of the others. t The old man drew a bottle of med- 1 icine from his pocket and gave Pansy .. i a spoonful. ] She got well immediately. ! a "I was a little late, said John i v Smothers, "as I waited for a street ' ! S car."?From O. Henry's Rolling j c Stones. j t The brain of a dog was trans- i fcrred to a man's skull at Fniversity i ^ Hospital at Ann Arbor, .Mich., Wednesday. \V. A. Smith, of Kala- j mazoo, had been suffering from abcess on the brain and in a last effort to save his life this remarkable op-1 j; I C eration was performed. Smith was v resting comfortably Wednesday night and the surgeons say he has r a good chance to recover. ^ the war was over and that such talk * was intemperate, if not dangerous. But it never occurred to me that he t had any idea of putting that thought 1 into execution; for Booth was always * a wild, impetuous talker." Gave l'p the Stage. t c Mr. Emerson, who is toe last surviving member of the troupe that 1 held the boards on that fateful night, s was born in Alexandria, Ya., seventy- ? three years ago. He was taken to t St. Louis, Mo., by his parents at an ealy age, but in youth returned to the f East and went on the stage, playing with the Booths, Charlotte Cushman t and other celebrities of that long c ago day. He was for several years s before the war and during that con-1 flict in the companies of the famous manager, Ford, of Baltimore, and also played in the companies of the a elder Wallack. After th^ tragedy of that night in April, 1SCo he gave up the stage, going into the bookselling business in Lynchburg, Ya., for many years. More than half a score of years ago he returned to Washington, where he founded a stained glass works, of which thriving concern he is the head. Despite his years he is in as full possession of all his powers as lie was thirty years ago. He discourses on the events of that terrible night with a fluency and correctness that show not only a memory unimpaired, but also the indellible impression that was made upon him. On not one single point was nis memory at fault. AIt all seems to me as though it was last night," he said. Looks Strikingly Like a "Swell." Despite the change that half a cen- v tury must work in a man?and if is nearly that since Mr. Emerson played Lord Dundreary?he still looks strikingly like that English "swell" whom a much younger generation saw in the two Southerns who later played the famous role. With distinguished looking "burnsides" adorning his cheeks and his hair swept back in somewhat foreign style?for thus is he accustomed to wear these ornaments?he might to-day step upon the stage without further "makeup" and take up his part so tragically interrupted nearly fifty years ago.

Left for dead by an infuriated feale grizzly bear who had mauled m almost to unconsciousness is the irve-racking and thrilling experiice that K. C. Chipman, chief of a aminion geological survey party, liile camping on Mineral creek, near ilmer, says the Vancouver Sun.

Firing te shot, he rushed down the steep ountainside, the bear following ith such determination and force at it rushed past him. Instantly .Mr. Chipman turned and 2ut back up the hill. As a bear, >wever, can run. easier up hill than iwn, he was quickly caught by the ige beast and shaken as easily as terrier shakes a rat. Luckily the irce shaking caused the bear to lose tr footing on the steep hillside and ith rolled together some distance iwn before bringing up. it was now that Mr. Chipman disayed the courage and presence of ind that saved his life, for on bring- , g up among some bushes he lav rfectlv quiet, feigning death.
