The following preamble and resolutions

notice a great change of opinion

should he admitted free, I hope
that the conditions of the country,
Its necessities and the liberality, generally,
which Is prevailing among

to the democrats that they will abandon
all the absurd theories of free
trade and low tariff and come with
the great body of the people and vote
for a liberal protection to all manufacturing

"Whereas, our congressman from

viz: 'That the south Is fast

liOulslana, which has many interests
that derive great benefit from protective
features of the tariff, that
most Loulsianlans lean somewhere
toward that policy,' and further
quotes from the father of protection
relative to steel rail that leads many
of his friends to conclude that he has
fallen completely Into the mailed and
^ dollar-branded bosom of the great
American steel trusts. Therefore,

Arrested on a chars* of burglar- ,
tztas the residence of Miu W. P.
Girvln and placed under $3,000 ball,
Mrs. Joan Thurnherr broke her reticeue?
In Berkley, Cal., this week,
and confessed that for the past live
yeurs she has been living the life of
a cowboy. The court proceedings
which brought forth the woman's
life history showed that she was for- j
moriy miss mosbio Barclay, adopted
daughter of Judge and Mrs. Barclay.
She declares alio was happy In childhood
but everything seemed to break
when she learned that the judge was
not her father and Mrs. Barclay, who ;
was more than kind, was not her
mother. The girl was then 15 years
old. She left the Barclay home and
In tho past live years she has lived
the life of a cow puncher, elevator
man, errand hoy and sailor.
According to her story Mrs. Thurnherr
was never stilted for life as a
girl. Her diary s4\ys:
"Hut I had never been as other
girls. I loved tho games of hoys
and not the pastimes of the girls.
I hated girls' clothing with all Its
fuss and muss. When 1 was a little
thing mamma used to let me romp
In boy's overalls and I cried every
time she put me into a dress."
Having learned as a girl to ride
on the Spanish ranches outside of
Ix>? Angeles, Bessie Barclay determined
to break horse's for a llvelihoo<i.
To tills end she applied to
Honor Sanchez, a rich Spanish rancher,
who hoard the diminutive girl
ask for work "breaking horses" with
the greatest glee.
Iler story goes on to toll how alio
managed the first bronco and then
left for tho wilds of Arizona, Utah
and Mexico. There she wits once
shot In tho shoulder and feared her
companions would learn h<*r sex but
she managed to get well ami did not
n?*ed to lay long.
Isitor she left the cattle country
and came North. Judge Barclay
sought that she return homo to live
with him but Instead sh? marrt?Kl
and contlntnni her llfn ha a "man."
Later she h?*ard of the death of her
footer mother .and made the following
note In her diary: "I cannot
write of the sorrow her death caused
me. I suppose that tho shock of
this sort of thing was neccosary to
show me that I have duties (us a

daughter of n motherless household.

those duties instead of trying to

product In a free trade market nevertheless
wo do not ask or desire that

what Wo ask Is that our representatives

out of our pockets und not Join republican
protectionists, helping them
to tax us for the benefit of saw mills

With "Undo Joe" Cannon looking
on and powerless to call tho minority
to order. or bring in a special rule
shutting off baao hits, tho Democrats
of the House of Representatives wulloped
all sortB of tariff schedules out
of tho Republicans at American
League Park Friday ami won tho
most famous Congressional base ball
game ou record by tho thrilling score
of 21> to 1 G. Tho minority wanted
to defeat the proposition. The
Democratic victory?tho first of the
extra sessiou?was followed by a
cloudburst. The deluge did not descend
until the seven-inning battle
had ended with the stout members
mi puinng and groggy from running

More different klnda of baae ball
were played than ever before were
crowded into seven innings. Strange
as It may aeem. it was not at all bad.
Representative Hetlln, of Alabama,
playing lu one of tho outer gardens,
reminded one strikingly of "Ty"

Heffln Just why. Ouco he had a
chance to be a hero. The Republicans

dangling from his bolt, cnat one

Tho bit ought to have been good
for a home run, but Representative

l/ongworth's Lone Hit.
Representative Nicholas Ix>ngworth,
of Ohio, signed at a termondoua
outlay, It wan said, fulled to
live up to his advance notices. He
presented a natty appearanco In golf
trousers, brown stockings and a negligee
shirt, but he "Casoyed out"
twice with two men on bases, got
a base on balls once, and then, In
the last half of the seventh, showed
a Hash of rare speed v hen he heat
out a tiny little Infield hit.
The official score looked too much
like a House tarllT hill coming out

to bo printed In full. The Republicans
stuck to their original line-up
throughout the game, but the Democrats
wore them solves out making
ten rounds In the second, and after
that substitutes wore called for.
The nearest tho newspaper scorers
?old hands at the business ? could
come to tho base hits and errors was
to give tho Democrats 23 of the former?no
Jest Intended?and 5 of tho
latter. Tho Republicans are credited
with 20 safe hits and 9 errors.
Catcher and Pitcher Collide.
Texas leaguers were there In hunches
and once In chasing a pop 11 y tho
Republican catcher and pitcher collided
with fearsome results. Representative
Rurke, of Pennsylvania,
who was at the receiving end of the
majority, is of slight build, and when
he crashed Into Pitcher Gaines, of
West Virginia, tho little catcher was
sent heels over head to the ground.
He picked himself up undaunted, and
then. whllp he and the nltcher were
doing an "Alphonso and Gaston,"
three IkMnocratn raced homo and udded
throe runs to their already opulent
total.
Deep, dark, dank rumors were In
circulation for a time that "ringers"
would be Introduced into the contest,
but when they lined up, the nfno Republicans
were all stalwart Grand Old
Party men, while the Democrats were
of as pure a Jeffersonian strain as
the halls of Monticello ever knew.

Wandering In Strange Iuin<l*.
No Knorh Arden of Action ever
played ft more perfect role than tho
Hov. John Taggart who rotnrnod this
week to Olou Lynn, Pik.. and rescued
tho wife of hie youth from a life of
poverty und disgrace brought on her
through u second inurrluge. Tho
wife, her son, Elmer, by her first
huHbnnd, and si daughter of IB yearn,
aud hou of Hoven, by her second marriage,
will leave, In a few days, for
the West, where they will begin life
anew. John Van Horn, tho woman's
second husband, Is serving sentence
in jail on conviction of si domestic
crime In which, Elmer Tnggsirt, was
the complainant and the charge was
si base offense tigainst the person of j
his hsilf-slster. j
John Taggart's history is a strange
one. Some 2 0 years ago ho was si
young Methodist minister at Glenn
Lyon. Ho was loved by his tlock,
handsome, a pulpit orator of ability,
a young man of promise. Ho
loved and married Miss Eliza Ivey,
one of tho prettiest maidens of
Hloomsburg, Pa., but their romunco
was not happy. Soon sifter their son,
Elmer, was born, gossip drove the
young father from his home. He
declares Ills trouble innrn ffinn
any man could boar.j After a few
years ho decided to return and take
up life anew with his wife, hut then
he learned hla bride believed him
dead and had married another.
Rather than return homo find
make more trouble, Tuggnrt began
to travel. He visited points in the
North, South, East and West, even
spending much time us a painter
and pajmr hanger In the Hawaiian
Islands. He also preached In many
Pacific coast towns, and In all those
travels he managed to keep in touch
with affairs at home. Some time
ago, how, ho will not toll, Taggart
learned of tho disgrace that had
come on hla wife and family through
tho crime of her second husband.
Ho learned th.it they were in poverty
and that the future of her children
had been ruined. Hero Tuggart
nhowod himself the man and offered
to bring them out. VanHorn agreed
not to caut-o any trouble in cabo his

she believed to have been drowned in

DROWNS IN RKNKKVOIR.
Stricken WitJi Apoplexy, Kails to His
Death in Water.
A dispatch to The State from
Greenville nays while Hitting besides
reservoir No. 2 about midnight Saturday,
Mr. John II. Colo, a prosperous
farmer, living near tho foot of Paris
Mountain, was stricken with apoplexy
and sank in 10 feet of water.
His companions did not notice his
disappearance for a minute or so and
search as they might thoy could not
locate his body until late Sunday.
With the drowned man at the time
were Messrs. Laurens (Jray, rural
mail carrier, Buck Foster, member of
the city fire department, and his sonin-law,
Mr. Arthur Shoekley.
er Representative Klnkaid, of . New
Jersey, who played second in a way
that would turn Lajoie green with
envy.
Representative Webb, of North
Carolina, pitched for the Democrats,
and outside of the fifth inning "had
the game well in hand.'"
A Home Run Knocked.
Representative Oldfleld, of Arkansas,
the catcher, had a shade on Mr.
Burko. In fact, It was in the battery
work that the Democrats excelled,
although their slugging was a mar
velous revelation to Washington base
hall enthusiasts. The Washington
public long ago had forgotten what
a home run looked like, until Representative
O'Counell of oliston, Mass.,
star swatter of the Democrats, lined
out In the seventh. He brought In
two other runs ahead of him and
scored in the midst of so much excitement
that Catcher Burko threw
the ball to a Democrat in the dense
crowd around home huso.
Once a thin Democrat began to
chase a fat one around the bases after
making a long hit to center,
caught up with him at third, and
then- the two ran homo together.
Catcher Burke got the hall In plenty
of time to make the most phenomenal
double play on record by tagging
tho two runs out with a "take this,
and that." But ho dropped tho ball.
Tho problem of aecurlnK a satisfactory
umpire waa a hard one. Tho
Democrats declared that if Speakor
Cannon acted they had not a chance
on earth. The gordlan knot waa cut
when the Rev. Father James Reynolds,
of Red Bank, N. J., waa selected.
He umpirod tho baa??a and
had only on? decision to make. Mike
O'Day, ground keeper of tho park,
waa offered at the sacrifice on balls
and striken. Two or three threat?
to kill him had no serious outcome.
And nobody got "hit by a pitched ball
| ?they had plenty of time to dodge.

Woods returned alone; the afternoon
wore away, and still the other two

naturally became alarmed, and the
Woods boy was questioned as to
where they were. No satisfactory
information could he obtained from
him, however, and Messrs, Rli Wllks,
J. P. Carter and others organized a
party and proceeded to the swimming
place to look for them, fears heir*;
had from the first that some accident
had befallen them on the creek.
Their clothes were found on thn

the party were pood swimmers, and
but little dlflleulty was experienced
In finding the bodies and bringing
