A MODERN MONTS CRISTO. Tho Remarkable Story of Edward Har rison, a Pardoned Felon. From the Qni’.ha Bee. The Union Pacific overland train yester day morning bad a passenger on board named Edward Harrison, a well-known California millionaire, whose history, as related by himself to a Bee representative, is a most romantic one, and in a degree equals that of Dumas’ famous hero, Edmond Dantes. The reporter was given a “tip” by n sable porter that a passenger of more than ordinary interest was seated in the smoking compartments of the rear car and the gen tleman was sought out. Mr. Harrison, for that was his name, is a fine-looking man, 41 years of age. He wears a full beard, slightly tinged with gray, and is a pronounced bru nette. During the wait at the depot and the ride to Council Bluffs he related his story, which substantially is as follows: Mr. Harrison is the son of a New York tailor doing business at No. 421! Fourth ave nue, New York. In 1865, when 18 years of age, ho ran away from home'and made his way to New Orleans. He found nearly all industries paralyzed from the effects or the war, and for self-maintenance was obliged to seek employment on the sugar plantation of Pierre Dense. Hero he remained for four years, and by practicing the strictest econ omy was enabled to save SBOO. In 1870 Mr. Harrison decided to go to California, and in the spring of that year reached Sacramento. Here he became acquainted with a man named Janies Lawson, with whom he en tered into partnership, and the commission house of Harrison & Lawson was estab lished. Botn put iu an equal amount of money, but after five months of the firm's existence Mr. Har rison discovered that Lawson was systematically robbing him, and insisted that the partnership be dissolved. After several stormy scenes between the two men the dissolution was effected, and each one began business under his own name. The rivalry existing between the two men was the subject of much concern among the peo ple of Sacramento, and it was the openly expressed opinion of many that the feud would eud m bloodshed. "Both men were hot-tempered, and on many occasions ex pressed their hatred for each other in un guarded and violent terms. In fact, Mr. Harrison was known to have said that he would “fix Lawson forever” if opportunity was ever offered. One night about seveu months after the dissolution of the firm of Harrison & Law son, the latter was shot and instantly killed immediately in front of Mr. Harrison’s place of business. Mr. Harrison was writ ing letters at his desk when the shot was fired. He grabbed up a pistol that lav be fore him, and rushed to the sidewalk. There he found a prostrate form, but ere he could discover its identity the police came up and placed Harrison under arrest. Nxt morning lie was lodged in the county jail, to await trial on the charge of murder. At the next term of the Criminal Court Mr. Harrison was tried for the murder of James Lawson. The best legal talent in the State was employed by the defense. The chain of circumstantial evidence was so strong that anything short of conviction was impossible, and Mr. Harrison was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. It was proved that Lawson and Harrison were deadly enemies, that the latter had made threats against, the former’s life, that he was found standing over the murdered man with a pistol iu ms hand from which one shot had been fired, and that the bullet found in Lawson’s body was of the same calibre as those remaing in Harrison’s weapon. Mr. Harrison's attorneys immediately filed a motion for anew trial on the ground of having discovered new and important evidence. After several days' argument their client was granted anew trial. Har rison’s lawyers then set up a novel defense, And by a number of witnesses showed that their client was a somnambulist and that he had been known to discharge firearms before while in a trance. It was shown that he had remained up all night previous to the mur der and had complained of great fatigue during the day. The jury was out five days and then brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. While tins was clearly in violation of the evidence and law, Mr. Harrison’s attorneys counselled their client to abide by it. They evidently considered him guilty’and thought he was getting off very easily. The unfortunate man was sentenced to the penitentiary for eighteen years. During the nine years that followed ne became ac qua nted with a fellow-convict named Wil liam Paddock, sentenced to life for the mur der of a miner. Finally, in the year 1882, Harrison was pardoned and released from imprisonment, liis innocence being estab lished by the death-bed confession of a man named Eaton, who stated tliit he killed Lawson for the purpose of robofery, but tho appearance of Harrison on the scene with a pistol in his hand prevented him from re moving the murdered man’s valuables. Be fore he left the prison he was accorded an interview with Paddock, who told him of certain rich gold deposits in Idaho known only to him. This information was given to Mr. Harrison only with the understand ing that if he found the statement to be true he should use every effort to secure Paddock’s pardon and give him a certain percentage of the value of the find. Mr. Harrison was greatly impressed with the truth of Paddock’s revelation, ami after securing what little money he possessed started at once for Idaho. Following the instructions of Paddock lie finally struck naming ore in what is now known as the Cceur d’Alene mines. Mr. Harrison en gaged the co-operation of a wealthy gentle man in Sail Francisco and bought up a large tract of the land, which lie afterward sold at fabulous rates, making himself im mensely rich. Mr. Harrison did not forget the convict Paddock, but used every effort to effect his release and finally succeeded. Almost the last official act of the late Gov. Bartleft, of California, was the signing of Paddock’s pardon. Mr. Harrison is now ca route to New York to visit his aged parents, whom he has not seen for twenty-two years. MISS ISABELLA A. BEECHER. Teachings the Mystic Process ot Mind Healing in Plymouth Church. From the New York San. Miss Isabella A. Beecher, a granddaughter of the Rev. Edward Beecher, and a niece of the late Henry Ward Beecher, is holding Bible meetings in the parlors of Plymouth Church, and her audience on Friday after noon last numliered thirty-five women and two men. The lecturer reads portions of the Bible, and then comments on the pas sages read. Her interpretations are clear, and she is an entertaining speaker. This latest debutauto of the Beecher family is not more than twenty-three years old, a dark-eyed, slight and self-pos sessed young woman. She wore at her lec ture a slouch wool sombrero, guiltless of any trimming and simply creased through the centre of the crown. It gave to her face a masculine look, Her features are small and clear cut. Miss Beecher came East from Chicago very recently for the purpose of practicing healing and teaching the so called Christian science. She has lived with her invalid mother in that city all her life, spending some of her time in Boston, where for three ■winters she was a pupil of Mrs. Eddy, who is the head of one of the schools of healers. Brooklyn is a good field for this sort of practitioners and lecturers. Miss Beecher teaches that thought is a force: that it can be vitalized by the will, and then it can bo sent forth to do work. Patients are to thiuk and will themselves into a state of high bodily health. She declared that the error of a belief that there is substance in matter has stopped the demonstration of Christ in the world, and until pooplo accepted the spiritual interpretation of His life and death they could not know and be the truth. The young lady went on to say that there was no life substance or intelligence in matter, and that it was this false belief that crucified Christ. She said that when properly understood the faculties of man could be used for higher service than at present. Earth, she said, ; was an eternal expression of heaven, and if j men and women would rule outal the evil | of each faculty and use only the good in I them they would be carried forward to a plane where the gifts of healing and prophe sying would be as much a part of them selves as the sense of tasto and of sight. Miss Beecher asked the women questions, and their interpretation of her readings of Scripture showed very plainly that they were all or nearly all conversant with the mind-cure teachings. She quoted St. Paul frequently as the teacher whose philosophy was of most value to students, because it was in advance of the accepted teachings of orthodoxy. Miss Beecher is assisted by Miss J. S. Rey nolds, who will remain with her in Brooklyn to teach and heal. It is very possible that Miss Beecher will have a large following, not only because she is a Beecher and has got permission to use Plymouth church, but for the reason that she is a clever woman. She has an unuommonly bright way of putting old facts and making practical illustrations. Asa proof that Brooklyn is a good field for this sort of thing, it is said that oue teacher in Greene avenue had a class of sixty last winter, and that her time will lie fully taken up from now until next May. Another woman is said to have made up ward of $15,000 since she began work in Brooklyn a vear and a half ago. Bhe got SSOO a month out of one woman. The ma jority of the mind healers charge from SIOO to S3OO for a course of lessons ranging from twelve to twenty, and they have had classes of from ten to thirty members. Miss Beecher’s advent will add to the inter est in the subject. Her public instruction will be continued weekly. OVER $250,000 IN OEMS. Minnie Palmer’s Collection of Jewels— How They are Guarded. From the Few York Morning Journal. Not many people have ail idea of the bother and worry which the possession of a large collection of precious jewels entails. A reporter had a conversation with Minnie Palmer a few days since, in the beautiful and almost palatial quarters occupied by our popular little pet, at the Westminster Hotel in this city, and he was favored, among other interesting things, with an account of the surprising magnitude of the methods she was obliged to adopt to protect her jewels. Miss Palmer was asked how it was that, considering so many people re quested to see these precious stones in pri vate, she had never met yet with any seri ous loss. ■ “Well,” said Minnie, “my jewels are kept in separate trays, each tray containing only certain articles, bracelets, rings, necklaces, pins, earrings, bead ornaments, brooches, watches, chains, charms, sleeve and collar buttons, etc., being among the collection. Every tray has a separate place for each jewel, so that if any one should be misplaced it is quickly and easily noticed.” The reporter asked what, might be the to tal value of all this jewelry. “Tho several travs you see,” said Miss Palmer, “contains more than $850,000 worth of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, pearls, both pink and white, turquoises, etc., and, I believe, together they really form the choicest private collection in the world. ” When not in use the jewels are placed in a small iron safe (with combination lock), are kept in the hotel vault, and are guarded night and day by one of the two specially engaged detectives in each (own that Is vis ited. The detective in charge at the hotel is relieved by another special officer, who goes to and from the theatre, remaining behind the scenes with Minnie Palmer during the performance. When leaving a city the little iron safe containing the precious stones is always forwarded by a route different from the one taken by the company, and it. is never sent in the same manner twice in succes sion. The express company usually do this work. One of the special officers in variably accompanies it ami he is met at his destination by others belonging to the detective force of whatever city the safe is bound for. These are notified in proper time as to what arrangements have been decided upon. Thus it will be seen that the possession of so large, rare and costly collection of valua ble gems inflict upon the owner a vast amount of trouble and expense, notwith standing the satisfaction derived from the possession and its unquestionable vaiue as a point of attraction to public curios ity. Miss Palmer does not depend upon her diamonds for success, neither does Patti, but they certainly aid in calling attention to the star and form a tangible proof of the financial triumphs with which she has met. THE WANE OF THE AMATEUR. At Which Condition of Affairs There la Much Rejoicing. New York, Nov. 20 —lt is a notable and delightful fact that the amateur musician appears to be on the wane, socially speak ing. The girl who plays the piano and the obliging lady who insists in struggling through aecompan ments for professional singers, and becoming gradually unknown quantities in the drawing rooms. Our ideas iu regard to musical matters are nowadays so precise, our taste has been so perfectly educated bv the constant opportunities that are presented for heating and learning to appreciate the greatest artists in the world, that it is something of an insult, not to say a downright bore, to be forced to listen to the raw performance of a society miss or musical matron. Nobody caros to hear Miss So-and-So jilay one of Chopin’s over tures, unless it be the young lady’s family. We have paid our money aud thought the priae cheap for the privilege of listening to the marvelous performance of a Rubinstein or a Von Billow. By this it is certafcly not intended to discourage anybody from taking music lessons or playing on any in strument whatever. Music should Justly form a prominent part of the education of every gill and boy. It is just as import ant as spelling or arithmetic. One feels how necessary it is when he attends a Ger man opera. By all means let us study music scientifically, occupy ourselves with har mony and thorough bass, but unless we in tend to devote our time exclusively to this resthenc subject, let us play, as wo are sup posed to pray, in secret. The day when “a little music after dinner” was considered the proper thing, when Belle performed portions of Beethoven’s symphonies and Mary Ann treated the company to English ballads, is happily past and gono. A musical hostess now provides professional talent for her guests, knowing well that nothing short of professional talent will satisfy them. And even iu this respect second-rate porformers are treated coldly. It must be tho best, or nothing. We are speaking in general terras, of course. It is a pleasure now aud then to hear an amateur who is really an artist. There are some hall' dozen in New York, and their existence proves tho rule which makes amateurs synonymous with minia ture. Clara Lanza. A Chronic Tendency Overcome. Many persons are troubled with a chronic ten dency to constipation. They are of bilious temperament. The complaint to which they are subject, though easily remediable by judicious treatment, is in many cases aggravated by a resort to drastic purgatives and cholagogues. As the human stomach and bowels are lined with a delicate membrane, and not with vulcan ite. they cannot stand prolonged drenching with such medicines without serious injury. Nothing restores and counteracts an, habitual tendency to constipation so effectually as Hostetter’s (stomach Bitters. Its laxative i fleet is gentle aud progressive. It neither convulses nor weakens the intestines, aud its effects are unac companied by griping pains. It arouses the liver when the organ is sluggish, promotes di gestion. and encourages appetite and sleep. For fever and ague, kidney troubles, nervous com plaints and Incipient rheumatism, it is incom parable. Take a wlneglas < before meals and see how soon yon will relish them.
