A MOONSHINER IN LUCK.
A PARDON FORFEITED BY AN ES
CAPE.
The Document Received in At'anta
After the Culprit Had Fled-It Was
Therefore Returned to Washington.
In the Mean'ime the Fugitive Rushed
In to Surrender.
Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 29.—1 tii not often
that a pardon goei begging for a claimant,
but one granted by President Harrison has
just lain two weeks in tbe bands of the
sheriff of this county, waiting for the ac
ceptance of the beneficiary. Recently Lewis
M. Haines, a moonshiner from Hall oounty,
serving a six months’ sentence in Fulton
oounty jail, developed epilepsy, which mal
ady grew so violent that bs had to be sent
to the hospital. The jail Dhvsician, assisted
by District Attorney Darnell, applied to the
President for his pardon.
HAINES HAD ESCAPED.
They sucoeeded in obtaining it, and on
Jan. 16 the order for Haines re ease was
forwarded, hut ten day* before the man
bad made a break for liberty, and after
bolding tbe paper for some time waiting
for him to claim it, the sheriff, unable to
deliver it, notified tne authorities at Wash
ington of the prisoner’s escape. In re
sponse came a telegram directing that the
piardon be at once returned to the depart
ment of justice. Meantime Haines’ lawyer,
by the advice of the district attorney,
wrote to Haines, advising him to surrender
himself and accept the benefit of the par
don.
HAINES RUSHES INTO A TRAP.
The man then hurried back to Atlanta,
only to find that he was too late,- as the
order had been countermanded. On de
livering himself up, instead of being re
leased, as he expected, he was again thrust
Into jail. The lawyer, having advised his
return, then found himself in a delicate posi
tion. The Attorney General was shown that
Haines had voluntarily surrendered, and
upon this representation telegraphed that if
auch were the case the pardon might be de
livered. The district att >rney held that the
surrender, n twithstanding the circum
stances, was voluntary, and this afternoon
the prisoner was released.

LILLIAN GOULD IN ATLANTA.
She Talks Airily of tbe Killing of Her
Husband.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29.—Mrs. Lillian
Gould of Murphy, N. C., notorious os the
slayer of her husband, Charles Gould.whom
she stabbed with a toy dagger, it iu the city
and to-day furnished a particularly ligfct
and airy interview on the killing. “O,”
said she, “I would not have hurt dear
Charlie for anything. He had been unusu
ally bad that morning. The fliea worried
him, and then the poor boy could not get
anything he wanted in Murphy, ao he be
gan to rave and to throw tbe furniture
about. I sent a note down town, asking
some man to come up, os I could not quiet
him.
WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE KIT.LINO.
“If they had heeded me this dreadful
thing would not have happened. They
would not come, so Charlie began to chase
me about the room, and fearing be would
hurt me I took the digger from tbe wall
and gave him a little punch to frighten
him, but I guess I punched harder than I
in:ended, for the poor, dear bov lived only
thirty-six hours.” The pretty little Euglish
blonue heaved a deep sigh, as much as to
say, “It was really quite distressing," and
then branched otf on tbe discomforts of
jail life as compared witu the luxury of her
accustomed surroundings. “And then,
you know,” she continued, “I thought may
be they would bang me, and then I won
dered how it would feel, and then I didn’t
care what became of me, I felt so dazed by
my sorrow.’’
SMILED VERY PRETTILY.
Running through her story she smiled
very prettily, and in a wax doll-like, irre
pressible sort of way concluded: “But it’s
better to look on the bright side of things,
is it not?” When asked about her plans for
the future Mrs. Gould said that one of the
New York theatrical managers had been
after her trying to get an interview. “A
ridiculous old creature” from somewhere in
the south had written hor an offer
of marriage, but she would try to
endure living at Murphy for the
present, where tbe people had been
very kind, but she added: “It’s awful
dreary at my little home, especially when
night comes on and I think of dear Charlie,’’
and the little woman, who is still as much
of an actress as ever she was in her stage
days, looked pictonally doleful for at least
a quarter of a minute.

ROMANCE OF AN ALPHABET.
The Development of the Ideograms of
tbe Chinese.
From the London Saturday Review,
Naturally the objects of nature first exer
cised the ingenuity of the Chinese depictors
of ideas. The heavenly bodies were always
before them, and the beiroglyphics repre
senting them were among their first efforts.
But the time came when they were called
upon to express on paper, bv means of com
pound characters, the various phases of tbe
suu and moon for example. The drawing
of “the sun above a straight line” was
sufficient to indicate the early dawn,
and tts it rose higher above the
horizon ’and shone through the trees, it
suggested an ideogram reproducing the
soeue (the sun shining through a tree) to
represent the east. The “sun” aud “to
reign” compounded together was consid
ered sufficiently descriptive of “tbe sun
brighteuiug into full day.” The darkness
before dawn was “the sun- | -not yet”
As it sank toward the west it was a
“shielded sun,” and eveniug was an “es
caped sun.” For a description of “bright
ness” in the abstract the services of the
moon were called into play, and the two
luminaries placed side by side represented
very effectively the idea.'
But what atiout the stars? Their relative
size supported the notion of their beiug the
offspring of the suu, and so they were
named, “Born of the Bun.” Descending
the earth we find that man and his con
cerns largely exercised tho inventive pow
ers of the elaborators of ideograms. “A
man” and “two” stood for humanity and
regard for one another. “A man’s words”
wero truthful, sincere, and “half a man”
was a companion, an idea of fellowship
which seems to indicate that, according to
Chinese ideas, a perfect titan, like happi
ness, was born a twin. Etiquette or decorum
was “the righteousness of man.” A “white
man” was a nobleman or chief, probably
referring to a time when tbe Chinese were
brought into contact with the darker
skinned aboriginal tribes of China, and a
“valley man” was one of the common herd.
“A man’s fault” was dissipation, as it
often is here as well os in China, and a
woman’s hesitation and uncertainty; while
extravagance was represented by a symbol
signifying “a man's excess,” and wauton
ness a “woman’s.” It has to be admitted
that the characters drawn of women in the
ideograms are by no means always compli
mentary, which, of course, must be at
tributed to a complete ignorance of the sex
on the part of inventors of writing. How
else can we explain the facts that a com
pound of “two women” represents strife,
aud or “three” intrigues? Or, again, that
to suspect, to dislike, should find expression
in a character composed of “a woman,”
plus “together with;” or that saucy, pert,
should be represented by a “moreover
woman.” It is curious to note that sd
ideogram formed of “a wave” and “a
woman” stands for a virago, just as a wave
man, or Ronin in Japanese means a lawless
adventurer.
The ideal of beauty among the Chinese
differs as widely from ours as do their writ
ten characters from our ABC. Not long
since a member of the Chinese legation was
looking at a photographic group of de
cidedly pretty young English ladies, and
being asked whether ho admired them, re
plied: “No, they are difficult tolook at, diffi
cult to look at.” As to figure, a willow-like
waist and a bending, yielding form are the
objects of highest admiration in China, and
to a character formed of part* signifying “a
woman” and “curved” is used to denote
beautiful, lovely, comely. Many meanings
connected with women are associated with
characters which pritna facie bear no rela
tion to them whatever.

A BLOODY SHIRT DEBATE.
THE KILLING OF A POSTMASTER
AGAIN DR AGO D FORTH.
Kelley of Kansas Brings the Matter
Cp— ipinola Kaisee a Laugh by Call
ing for the Police—The Chair Trlee to
End the Dlecuaslon on the Ground
of Waste of Time.
Washington, Jan. 28.—1n the Home
this morning tbe journal was approved
without objection.
On motion of Mr. Sherman of New York,
a bill was passed providing for the issuing
of the commission of P. C. Johnson as rear
admiral.
The House then went into oommittee
of the whole, with Mr. Payson in the obair,
oi the military academy appropriation
MB.
THg SILVER POOL COMMITTEE.
The committee having arisen informally,
Mr. Dingley of Maine, chairman of the
committee investigating the alleged “silver
pool,” presented a special report of that
committee. The report etatee that in the
usual form a subpoena to appear before the
committee was served upon J. A. Owenby,
and that the said Owenby has
refused or neglected to obey the
subpoena. Tbe report is accompanied by a
form of an ordt>r for adoption by the House
for tbe arrest of Oweaby for contempt.
After a brief legal discussion as to the
power of the House to compel the attend
ance of witnesses, the report was agreed to
as a preamble to the order, and the order
was made.
THE MURDER OF MATTHEWS.
The oommittee of tbe whole then resumed
its session. Matters ran very smoothly for
awhile, until the murder of Mr. 'Matthews,
postmaster of Carrollton, Mis3., was
brought up by Mr. Kelley of Kansas in a
speech, in which he criticised some former
remarks made by Mr. Lewis of Mississippi.
He denied, as stated by Mr. Lewis, that tbe
murder of Postmaster Matthews was
attributable to other than political
causes. He had authority to say that Post
master Matthews had been killed because
he was a republican. The gentleman fr<>m
Mississippi, premising his remarks with a
quotation to the effect that nothing but good
should be Bald of the dead, bad heaped
slanders upon the dead man, which he
would not Lave heaped upon him if the
man had been living. He (Mr. Kelley)
denied the statements made by tbe gen tie
man in regard to the character of Post
master Matthews.
KELLEY TAUNTED.
Mr. Flower said that he had heard the
gentleman from Kansas make speeches
Ditching luto the distinguished gentleman
from Arkansas (Mr. Breckinridge). That
gentleman bad been returned to congress,
while tbe constituents of tbe gentleman
from Kansas had turned him down. The
more of such speeches the gentleman from
Kansas made tne better it would be for the
Demooratio party.
Mr. Lewis, in reply, said that while the
people of the whole country were enjoying
the privilege* of constitutional liberty, the
stentorian and strident voice of the gen
tleman from Kansas was beard crying:
“Murder! murder 1 murder 1”
SPINOLA RAISES A LAUGH.
“Call tbe police”—ejaculated Mr. Spi
nola. In a tone of mock tenor; and the con
trast between the earnest voice of Mr.
Lewis and the timorous voice of Mr. Spi
nola was so apparent that for some mo
ments Mr. Lewis was unable to proceed
on account of the laughter.
Mr. Lewis, continuing, said that the self
accredited and swift witness in every killing
that had occurred iu Mississippi and
Arkansas—the gentleman from Kansas
had sought to create the impression that the
people of those states were in rebellion
against the constitution and laws of tbe
United States.
Mr. Kelley—He has proved it.
Mr. Lewis—l want to say that he is in
revolution against the mandate of the peo
ple as pronounced at the lost November
election. I want to say that he is in rebel
lion against his own constituents, who have
relegated him to the shades of private life.
I want to say that he is in rebellion against
the people of Kansas, who have just spoken
and whose voice has filled tbe cathedral of
this hemisphere, but which has fallen un
heeded on hit deaf ear.
KELLEY INSUPPRESSIBLK.
Mr. Kelley said that he was not here to
traduce tne character of any man. He was
defending the character of the republicans
of ths south who had been killed because
they were republicans. Ho was sorry that
Mississippi could not furnish a man on this
floor with enough of justice in him to save
him (Mr. Kelley) the trouble of doing so.
Mr. Hooker of Mississippi said that he
was getting a little tired of the broadcast
accusations made against the people of Mis
sissippi before a tribunal which hid not the
power to try them. He protested against
the rawing of sectional animosity.
The chairman attempted to put an end to
tho political discussion by calling attention
the absolute necessity of the speedy pas
sage of the appropriation bills, but his
remarks had little effect, the controversy
being transferred from Mississippi to Ten
nessee, Mr. Williams of Ohio criticising
aud Mr. Richardson defending tbe
conduct of Senator Harris when
governor of that state. After a
stormy scene between the chairman (Mr.
McComas) and Mr. Breckinridge of Arkan
sas, pertaining to a question of recognition,
the committee rose and reported the bill to
the Houbo. No quorum appearing, the
House, without disposing of tbe bill, ad
journed.
IKING MORSE AND HIS IBGAND.
A Former San Franciscan Now a Po
tentate in the South Pacific.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Amid all the trouble which is at present
worrying the islanders of the South Pacific
there is peace iu plenty on one of the isles.
There guano flourishes in untold quantities;
there are cocoanuts plentiful enough for
armies of apes to play base ball with, and
the natives are absolutely friendly with
one another, knowing not the hideous war
club. The little Eden referred to is known
on every navigator’s chart of the Pacific as
Sophia Island, and the modern Adam who
bolds sway in it is a former San Franciscan
named J. H. Morse. He is rex, chief, lord,
or whatever other title has passed to him
with the island.
The isle is his by purchase and his royal
title, like many others, was obtained for
money. When ho bought the island King
Morse discovered it to be absolutely bald.
There were no people, no trees, no houses.
But to the mind ambitious to do the think
ing for a small nation their objections were
very small ones, and within the probability
of removal. So King Morse caused hairs to
grow oh the bald pate of his kingdom, and
to-day he wields his scepete of authority
over quite a cnmmunity of dusky subjects
with the ease and assurance of an expert
club swinger.
A schooner recently arrived here from a
trading voyage to the South seas, aud from
her commander, Capt. Mollstad, quite an
interesting account of the while chief and
his black kingdom was received.
Tho location of Sophia Island is con
siderably further south than either the
Caroline or Gilbert group, and the nautical
position is in latitude 10' 45' south, longi
tude 179 e 32' east.
At one time it was peopled by quite a
colony of natives, who were ruled by one of
their tribe. Tho encroachments of the
whites thinned them out, however, and a
number of years ngo the disgusted native
chief went into insolvency for the benefit of
his creditors, principally however, for the
benefit of himself. He disposed of his ki g
dom to some unknown person and his sub
jects swapped landlords. The new owner
did not prove a pronounced success as a
ruler, and this time his second-hand sub
ja ts became disgusted, and taking to their
canoes paoillod away from Sophia to some
friendly p Jrt in the Gilbert group, where
they could be well fed and well ruled at the
same time. Having nobody to rule and
feeling the weight and worthlessness of hi*
ocean e*tate, the owner looked about for a
go and “buy.”
It occurred that J. H. Morse) happened
along in a trading schooner one day, and
stopped at Sophia. After a g >od deal of
barte: ing the tract changed hands a third
time, and fell Into the possession of Mr.
Morse in consideration of the sum of $5,000.
With a laudable view of producing anew
and novel type of race to distinguish his
island kingdom from its many neighboring
rivals, Mr. Morse induced a medley of
wh tes, half-breeds, Samoans and Gilbert
Is andors to take up their habitations in his
colony, himself officiating from ti.ae to
time as king, sheriff, clergyman and em
ployer. The barren spots in the island were
covered with a growth of banana and
cocoanut trees in abundance, and tbe island
has been subdivided into homesteads and
plantations. Houses were built and are
•tili being erected. The islaud is rich in
guano beds, which form one of tbe chief
profits of its commerce with trading vessels.
King Morse governs his small empire with
gentleness. He carries bis code of laws in
his mind, and does all tbe planning, < rder
ing and executing. He does not fear a
revolution or a German protectorate, for
he owns every foot of his territory. He is
on tbe best of diplomatic terms with the
chiefs of Bularlari, Taputeweal, and other
islands of note, and is generally regarded as
a power in South Sea politics.
Mr. Morse, who is well known in this city,
is a comparatively young man, and has for
years been engaged in trading in the South
Pacific, He is perfectly contented with his
lot and manifests no desire to mix again in
the hurly-burly of the Sau Francisco
world.
Capt Mollstad, who put into Sophia
Island to avoid dangerous gales on his way
to this port, states that the little Eden is
increasing its prosperity. The crops are
good and the resources of the place are
gre at, considering its size and population.
A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.
The Strange Visitor Who Made Her
self at Home With Farmer Lee.
From the Kew York Sun,
Saratoga, Jan. 25.—Frederick Lee, a
farmer, living about two miles west of this
village, was surprised a week ago last Sat
urday by the sudden appearance of a
strange woman upon his premises. She
was fine looking, well dressed, of dark com
plexion, and about 40 years of age. The
woman could not or would not speak a
word, nor would she write or give heed to
the sign alphabet. It was quite late in
the day and cold and storming. She seemed
to be determinod upon entering the house,
and Mr. and Mrs. Lee kindly took her
in, gave her food and a bed, aud kept her
over Sunday. Try their best, they could
not learn from the woman anything con
cerning herself, although she appeared to
be intelligent and rational. The next day
Mr. Ijee brought her to town, thinking he
might be able to learn who she was and to
find her friends, if she had any here. After
driving her about the town a little ihe
woman was helped out of the sleigh, bid
den good-bv, and she walked off. Mr. Lee
went to police headquarters and reported
the strange case, and after a little delay in
town went back home. What was his sur
prise on his arrival to find that the woman
had walked back to bis place and was again
making herself at home.
On Wednesday, while she was sitting
quietly by a window sewing, she suddenly
sprang up in much excitement, and, with a
loud scream, rushed into a bedroom, lock
ing the door after her. On looking out of
the window Mr. Leo saw that a horse and
sleigh had driven into the yard, and in it
was a fine looking, well-dressed man, but
so closely muffled as to almost conceal his
face. Mr. Lee went out and spoke to the
man, but could get nothing from him, save
an inquiry concerning the woman. On
being asked if he knew her, the man said
he did, and that they had lived together.
Lee went into the house and tried to per
suade the woman to go out She refused,
and he forcibly led her to the open door,
where she for some time stood glaring at the
man, who iu turn stared hard at her. Then
the woman broke away aud ran back into
the bedroom. Lee asked the man:
“Do you kuow her?”
“Yes,” Baid the stranger.
“Do you want to take her?”
“No.”
“Do you live near here?”
Tho answer was hesitating and not at all
definite.
“But what am I to do with her?” asked
Lee.
“Take her to town to-morrow evening
and leave her at the monument,” said the
stranger, and then without giving his name
or that of the woman, he drove rapidly
awav.
When Lee went back into the house he
found that when the woman retreated to
the bedroom she had picked up a stick of
wood, which she held threateningly In her
hand as a weapon, and when shown that
the man was gone, she indicated by signs
that she would have pounded him if he had
tried to approach her.
Last Saturday eveniug Mr. Lee again
brought tbe mysterious woman to town, in
tending to leave her near the monument,
but when in the near suburbs of the vil
lage she left the sleigh, started off at a
good pace, and disappeared on a side
street.
\\ ho is the strange man, who the woman,
and what has become of her are as yet mys
teries which even the police have not been
able to solve.
