THE NEW WOMAN IN OREGON.
j She is Mayor, City Attorney and
Whole Police Force.
Those scoffers who thought Miss
1 Clara Cynthea Munson would regret
her election as mayor of this town
- are a disappointed lot. Miss Munson
has the distinction of being the only
woman mayor in the West, and for a
wonder, she is not much in favor of
woman suffrage.
"Now that women have a vote,"
she said, "I believe they should take
an active interest in political affairs
and show they are able to make good
" use of the ballot. The citizens here
were dissatisfied with the administrai
tion we have been having, and some
. one said. 'I believe Miss Munson
f would make a good mayor.' I took it,
as I supposed it was meant, as a good
j joke.
"Others took the suggestion seriously.
A caucus was held and my
name and one other, a Mr. Diedrich,
0 were placed in nomination for the
office of mayor. My opponent did
not prove to be much of a runner. In
1 any event, I got most of the vote.
s A non-partisan citizens' ticket was
put up, headed by myself for mayor.
"I preside over all of the council
t meetings, and inasmuch as the councilmen
who ran on the citizens' ticke
et were elected we get along very
) serenely. Even in a little place like
Warrentown with only a few hundred
j people, we have our civic problems.
"For example, we formerly employed
a city attorney and a policeman.
As mayor, backed by the council, I
was given a free hand, so I disposed
of the services of both of these officials.
> "I am now mayor, city attorney
' and chief of police. The money we
save by dispensing with the services
1 of a city attorney and a police officer
- we are putting into improvements?
rebuilding old sidewalks and putting
s in new ones. The mayor of Astoria
f has been kind enough to give me free
legal advice whenever we have rej
quired it.
r "One of the problems I have had to
thresh out was the matter of a saloon
here. The question of reissuing the
license of the saloon came up. The
f license fee is $400 a year. There are
very few women in favor of saloons
? and what the saloon stands for.
3 "There are 50 saloons in Astoria,
3 seven miles distant, and four saloons
in Hammond, three miles away. I
s thought the thing out carefully and
, decided that as long as the govern5
ment and the saloon man were in
partnership it was not fair to punish
the weak partner?the saloon man.
? ?
t "As long as you and I and the
others who constitute the government
tell the saloon man that he may pay
a certain sum of money to carry on
t his business, all that we can do is to
see that he does not transgress the
laws. The real solution of the problem
i^ tor the government not to become
the silent partner of the liquor
men.
r "I spent all of my girlhood and
young womanhood in a lighthouse.
* My father was thrown very much into
" the society of his own family and so
" discussed political questions with us
when the ordinary man would go
3 down to the corner grocery and sit
- on a cracker barrel or a dry goods
- box and discuss politics with his cronb
ies. I rode and hunted and swam
and talked politics with my father alf
most as if I were a boy."?Warrenv

I WAS JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.
Jury Exonerates Hairy Stillwell Edwards
and son in Killing Negro.
r
Macon, Ga., July 6.?Justifiable
homicide was the verdict returned by
a coroner's jury to-day which invesr
tigated the shooting and killing of
^ Harrison Newton, a negro, by Harry
Stillwell Edwards. Macon's postmaster
and author, and his son, Prentiss
Edwards. The negro was shot last
nieht and died in a local hospital to
* day.
e Xewton attacked his wife with an
* axe last night 011 the Edwards coun
try estate, near this city. She ran
1 screaming to the Edwards house, begging
for protection for herself and
s children. The postmaster and his
- son secured a shotgun and rifle ret
spectively and started for the negro's
e cabin. They met Xewton coming out
I of the cabin, armed with a shotgun.
Before he could fire Prentiss Edwards
e fired his rifle five times and the posts
master discharged the shotgun once.
1 The negro disappeared after the
(> shooting and did not return to his
3 home until early to-day.

I PATRIOT PIRATE OF THE GULF.
French Privateer Who had Commission
to Plunder Spanish Ships.
Brief news dispatches told the day
of the sailing of the steamer laden
with $5,000,000 in gold for a port on
the Caribbean Sea?and not a pirate
to fear! What a priz$ that vessel
would have been in the brave days or
old, when Jean Lafitte, the patriot
pirate of the Gulf, ruled over a little
outlaw kingdom of his own within a
few miles of the city of New Orleans.
A picturesque figure was Jean Lafitte,
with a graceful, courtly deviltry
about him which made him popular
with many of the most estimable
dwellers in New Orleans. Handsome,
able, averse to the shedding of blood,
and even possessed of loyalty to the |
government whose excise laws he
made it his business to break.
Lafitte, as you may guess, was
French. He drifted to Louisiana in
the early years of the nineteenth
century, and set up in piracy in the
Bay of Bartaria, a sheltered harbor
on the Gulf of Mexico, protected by a
long island called Grand Terre, where
Jean Lafitte dwelt in a house of brick,
with broad and comfortable verandas,
where one might loll at ease in a
hammock, smoking and drinking
lazily, while pirate chiefs filed in to
bring reports of plunder taken and
prospects ahead.
No crude and common pirate was
this Jean Lafitte. He held a privateer's
commission from the republic
of Carthagena. which has been recently
established in South America
and has long since been forgotten,
and tnis commission gave mm me
right to plunder Spanish ships. Perhaps
he plundered other ships, too;
but the Spanish were his principal
victims. Lafitte's followers were a
motley collection?black, white, yellow
and red?restless and reckless
rovers of the sea. One must admire
the ability of the man in keeping
them as well under control as he did,
for there was no looting of the nearby
coast?no disorder in Louisiana.
Lafitte trafficked in silk and gold and
negroes; fulfilled his contract promptly,
sold his goods openly at auction
even in the city of New Orleans and
had many friends among the planters.
He was popular, too; there is no
doubt of that. Had it been otherwise,
he would not have been permitted
to remain five years in Barataria.
As early as 1809, we find governors
of Louisiana thundering against him, I
but Lafitte went calmly about his |
business. Occasionally a revenue |
officer was killed in a brush with the1
pirates. Invariably Lafitte expressed
his sorrow that bloodshed had be-1
come necessary. A case was brought1
against him in the Federal court; the
^ oHftrnov TVQc Q man Tlflmed
UiOti iV/t accuiuvj it m ?
Grymes. Lafitte went to see Grymes,
and the result of the visit was that
the district attorney resigned his
office and undertook Lafitte's defense.
|
He and the lawyer who assisted him
were promised $20,000 apiece for
their services and got it. After the
l
case was dismissed, Grymes went
back to Barataria to receive his fee
and spent a week feasting with the
pirates, who treated him with princely
hospitality and escorted him back
to the Mississippi in a handsome
yawl, laden with caskets of gold and
silver.
Repeated attempts had been made
to organize a military expedition to
destroy Lafitte's pirate colony, but
up to the year 1814 they had always
come to nothing. In September/ of
that year a British brig anchored six
miles from Barataria Pass, and its
captain came ashore and offered Lafitte
a captain's commission in the
British navy and $30,000 if he would
join the British in an attack against
New Orleans.
Lafitte pretended to consider the
offer, sending word meantime to a
member of the legislature of the j
British captain's offer and declaring
that he would never accept it. He
sent another letter to Governor Clai- J
borne, who had offered $5,000 for La- |
fitte's head, and for whose head Lafitte
in return, in a spirit of gay bravado,
had offered a reward of $50,-'
000. Lafitte suggested that the gov-J
ernor extend clemency to his pirates, J
who in return would aid in the de- j
fense of the state against the British.-)
The-offer was rejected, and an expedition
under Commodore Patterson, j
of the United States navy, tore down j
the brick house, confiscated much
plunder and drove out the pirates,
who at first formed their ships in a
line of battle, but afterward changed
their minds and fled to hide among
the numberless waterways and bayous.
Jean Lafitte and his brother Pierre,
escaped and established themselves
! on the lower Mississippi. Meanwhile )

Jean Lafitte went boldly into New Orleans
to see him, although the fiery
general had declared he would have
nothing to do with "these pirates and,
hellish banditti." There must have
been a peculiar charm and persuasiveness
about Jean Lafitte, for after the
CINCINNATI SELLING ICE.
City Is Operating Seven Plants Seized
by Health Board.
Cincinnati, July 3.?Seven nonunion
ice plants, seized by order of aj
Mayor Henry T. Hunt, were being g{.
I operated today by the board of health ^
I in an effort to relieve the suffering ^
caused by the strike of engineers, ^
firemen, drivers and helpers. ^
The ice-making machinery of the .
is
different plants was in charge of strikI
ing engineers and firemen, who were
? ai
ordered to return to work by union ^
omciais, under an agreement maue ^
with the mayor. ^
The first step by the ice manufacre
turers to regain possession of their
re
plants was taken by the Cincinnati
Ice Company, which applied to Judge ^
Speigle, in the Common Pleas Court, ^
for an injunction to restrain the City
"from trespassing further pn the ^
property of the company." The peti- ^
tion asked that a temporary injuncsi
tion be granted and that it be made
permanent.

Attorney General McReynolds urging

him to order an investigation of the

Punished for Contempt.
m
L. M. Charles was tried at 2 o'clock
yesterday in the United States Dis- 0<
trict court for contempt of court at a
j hearing before the United States comI
missioner at Union. Judge Smith cc
| gave him a month in jail, which, by e5
special request, is to be served at |a
Spartanburg. The peculiarity of the 113
case lies in the fact that, by merely pi
hitting a man, he committed four dis- w
tinct offenses against the law. e?
Charles was being tried for not ^
having paid the special tax for -etail- er
ing liquor. A witness in the case ^
testified to what the defendant characterized
as a lie. This so angered st
the defendant that he struck the wit- ai
ness, or "smacked" him, as he put it **
when on the stand. He also cursed w
another witness, and the report is gl
that the sheriff had to quell the de- cc
fendant by harsh means. '
The first court to take umbrage at aJ
this conduct was the city court of c?
Union. He was fined for committing tc
a breach of the peace. Next the coun- pi
ty decided that he had committed an 113
assault and battery, and a warrant ^
was issued on that charge. Then the
United States government tried him M
yesterday for being guilty of con- **
tempt of court, and a warrant will 01
issue from the same source against w
him on a charge of attacking or in
timidating a witness. This last is a
rather grave offence.
The defendant pleaded guilty in v<
yesterday's proceedings, but asked la
the judge for leniency on account of v<
his having a sick wife. The judge
said that had nothing to do with the 11
case.?Charleston News and Courier.

A short time ago the hearts of Wall W(

ipearance among them of an attrac- *e

ith blue eyes and an exceedingly
raceful figure." She carried a valise
mtaining a number of tickets which of
