JABLT LIFE OF STANLEY.
6 TU3DT WELSHMAN CAN TELL
ALL ABOUT HIM.
pocidedly Humble Origin of the World-
Famous Hero—An Affecting Meeting
of the Mother and Her Son After
Tears of Separation.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
U'ben Henry M. Stanley, the great Afri-.
c3n explorer, was in Pittsburg last winter,
t,. little dreamed that a man claiming to be
tis stepfather was living in Homestead,
neither did the father know that his fa
roU3 stepchild intended to deliver a lecture
j 3 this city until after he had gone. Each
ignorant of the other’s presence, though
,>, old man has longed for years to see
jlr Stanley to tell him about the death of
mother. It is an interesting story
,nd full of pathos. At ter listening to tho
B ged stepfather’s recital and carefully go
,Yver the records in the little, worn
U'eish Bible, which were translated for him.
t!) e reporter had no doubt that the tale is
correct.
It is generally understood by the public
that Henry M. Stanley is not the real name
of the explorers. This is the name of the
v e w Orleans merchant who reared him, as
the published accounts of his early life go.
Ths mystery of his origin has never been
cleared up to the public ken. though all the
facts of his birth are probably known to
Mr. Stanley. For oertaln reasons he has
rarer cared to dilate upon them, and in
conse juenoe ail sorts of stories about his
boyhi 'Od days have been published.
It remains for Watkin James, the step
fatbeir, to give a clear and authentic history
of young Stanley up to when he was 5 years
old.
A MATTER OF INTEREST.
Anything written about the resouer of
IJvinijstone, whioh bears the stamp of
truth, will certainly be much appreciated
b? the world. Mr. James relates incidents
which will be news to Stanley, and will no
doubt be relished by him. It is strange the
two have never met, but when the story is
told people will readily understand how
innate modesty and inability to express
self well in the English language have pre
vented Mr. James from making himself
known to the American and Welsh idol.
Watkin James is a Welshman, 68 years
old, living in Homestead. He has resided
in that town for the last five years, and is
employed as the keeper of a furnace in Car
negie's Homestead mill. He is a man of
ragged build, and has a good, honest face,
as hie picture shows. He is a typical Welsh
man, and can speak English fairly well.
His accent is hard for a native to catch at
first, but one becomes accustomed to it in a
6hort time. It is difficult to make him un
derstand questions asked in English, but
through an interpreter it was made easy.
Mr. James remaiued borne from work
ypstrday afternoon to have hi3 picture
takea and to keep an engagement with a
Dupatch reporter. He was found in a neat
little home on Helset street, opposite
Maloney’s hotel. His Welsh brother-in-law,
Mr. Dayis, whose wife speaks Euglish
fluently, was lounging on the little porch.
APPEARED IN THE DOORWAY.
When asked if Mr. James lived th6re, he
didn’t understand the question, and replied
in the negative. Just then a rugged-look
ing mau appeared in the doorway. His
beard was coarse and white, and covered
hla neck like Horace Greeley’s. The hair
was removed from the cheeks. He was
minus a coat and wore a rough shirt which
the rmUtnen have adopted as their own
peculiar style. The faoe was kindly aud
full of strength. He looked at the stranger
before him for a moment and then said
abruptly: “Are you the newspaper man?”
When a positive assurance was given, he
said in broken English:
"Come in. I am Stanley’s stepfather,
and want to talk to you. Do you know
Henry? I often read about him in the
papers, but I never saw him. I didn’t
know he was in Pittsbug last winter, or I
would have called to see him. When he was
married last fall my family and I celebrated
the ovent among ourselves here in Home
stead.”
“Yes, and we had a great time,” broke in
Mrs. Mary Davis, his sister-in-law, who
afterward acted as interpreter.
With the ice broken aud mutual confi
dence restored by this introduction, it was
plain sailing, and Watkin James com
menced his story. Mrs. Davis had written
a short account of Stanley’s father and
mother at the dictation of Sir. James, and
this abstract, so to speak, was submitted to
the reporter for his guidance. The names
of the Welsh places were like so much
Sanscrit, but after muoh questioning all
the facts were elicited.
HE HAD A GOOD MOTHER.
"Stanley’s oorrect name," said Mr.
James, “is Henry Rowlands. His mother
was Ellenar Jones, aud his father Jacob
Rowlands. Both were born in Pont Rees,
near New Castle Emleyn, Camerthenshire,
South Wales. Henry was born in the same
town, add is no w from 49 to 50 years old. He
has a sister, Elizabeth, who is now married
to David Rees, aud they are living some
where in Colorado, 1 remember I paid their
passage to America. Stanley’s father was
a bookbinder by trade, and a very clever
one, but a good-for-nothing man. He kept
a store in the village, could talk good En
glish and was reckoned among his neighbors
as a smart fellow. He didn’t have much prin
ciple, and I think the reason why Stan
ley never thinks about hfs father is that
wheu be came to kuow all about him he bad
little respect for him. Stanley’s mother,
whom I afterward married, was an in
tensely religious woman. She was a great
worker in the churob. She could also
speak English, aDd read books a great deal.
She was very fond of young Henry, but the
carelessness of his father caused her many
a heartache. Jacob Rowlands wasn’t a
good husband, and when Henry was about
4 years old his parents separated. The
father took the boy and the mother the girl
to rear. Shortly after this Rowlands sold
Henry to a sea captain. Preacher Davis of
Cardigan was a witness to ths papers bind
ing the future explorer to the skipper. I
think Stanley was about 5 years old at tne
time. I never knew how tb captain
treated Henry.
CRIED FOR HER BUY.
“I have often seen his mother sitting by
a windowjwhen there was a storm, crying
for her little boy at sea. She didn’t hear
from him for four years, and had given
him up for lost. She was fully persuaded
he had been drowned.
“Ellenor Jones, Stanley’s mother, was
my third wife. I have mislaid the certifi
cate of our marriage, and I can’t say in
what year we were married. X think it
was about 1860. We had no children. She
died July 81, 1870, and was buried August
oin Cevangolia cemetery, Treadgar. I
don’t think that Stanley knows tbat bis
mother is dead. One day about 1868,
at least as nearly os I can remember,
it was two years before his mother
died, Stanley came to Fhlnney, where
we lived. He had come from
1 ranee in search of bis baptismal
papers, which were reooraed lu Cenearth
church. I had gone to work in the after
noon, and when I got home Stanley had
•eft I never saw him. My wife often told
me how a fine-looking, well-dressed young
man walked Into the cottage that afternoon.
, inquired of different people in the vll
~***‘ they kuew Ellenor Jones, and where
■t>" lived. The neighbors wondered what
such a gentleman should want with El
lenor Jones, the wifs of the furnace keeper,
the house was pointed oat and Stanley
entered. Henry didn’t kuow his mother,
anil my wife did uot recognize in the gen
wemau her long-lost son. He palled the
P“per out of his pocket and showed tnem
■ yon know that name*’ bo
b°’ ut i n g to Henry Rowlands on tho
nuseripfc. ‘Yes,’ she answered, ‘that is
*no name of ray boy.’
BOW H “ MBT ms “OTHER.

it * “ 6r 1:1 his arms and they wept bitterly.
” n 9 ulre d “bout his sister Elizabeth. She
_ , *o'k w the town, and bis mother
•out for her. He said he bad to leave that
at midnight to catch the steamer at
Cardiff for France, aud he had orune to
\Y ales to get the papers about his birth. My
wife felt that my home was not good enough
for Henry to sleep in, so she insisted that
he go to the hotel and she would bring
r. izubeth around in the evening to see him.
j Stanley asked about a willow which
he remembered he had planted at the
corner of the house when he was a boy. It
was a mere twig he had pushed in the
gTound, aud taking his mother by the hand
they walked outside to look at the tree. It
had grown wonderfully and w.aa higher
than the house, the long limbs being down
trailing the ground. Stanley looked up,
and as the remembrance of his boyhood
days came back, the tears rolled down his
face. His mother also cried again. The
women who collected to see Ellenor Jones’
son told me often since how Stanley and his
mother stood under the tree and wept,
holding eaoh other’s hands.
“In the evening Elizabeth went around
to the hotel to see her brother. She was
then about 33 years old. My wife and the
sister had not seen or heard of him for four
teen years. The girl was shy in the presence
of the well-dressed stranger, but the meet
ing between them was affected. He gave
them eaoh a present of 10 shillings, $3 50
in our money. His father was still living
in the town, and for the moment Henry
forgot that bo had sold him to a sea cap
tain.
A COW FOR HIS FATHER.
“He was generous, and gave him enough
money to buy a cow. His return was the
talk of the village for a long time, but he
left for Cardiff at midnight. He said he
had to be in France at a certain time, or he
whould lose his situation. When I came
home from work in the morning Henry had
gone, and I had not seen him. If 1 had
known he was in the town I certainly would
have returned home, but my wife thought I
would not be interested in him. He prom
ised to send for Elizabeth, his sister, to put
her in school, but he never did.
“After that we heard of him through the
newspapers as being iu Africa hunting for
Livingstone. Preacher Davis, at Cardigan,
followed his career, and sent me the papers
from time to time. Once nothing was
heard from him for four or five months,
and everybody thought he was dead. Mr.
Davis died, aud since then I have read
about Stanley whenever I could get the
newspapers. Stanley never wrote to his
mother after be left that night for Cardiff.
I supposed that he was in Africa and
couldn’t reach her by letter.”
There were many gaps in the early life of
Stanley which Mr. James could not fill up.
His memory was defective and in some
cases he didn’t know. If he had known
that Stanley would some day have become
a great man, he said he would have kept a
better record. Under the circumstances,
having never seen the boy and feeiing no tie
of blood, it is surprising that he remembers
as much os he does.
PROUD OF STANLEY.
Mr. Davis is very proud of the explorer.
He has often talked about Stanley aud the
relation he sustained to his mother among
his friends, but as the people talked Welsh
the fact that Stanley's step-father wus
living was not discovered by the public un
til now. According to published biogra
phies of Stanley, he was born near L)en
blgn, Wales, ia 1840. His name was John
Rowlands. It will be seen the last name
given by Mr. Davis agrees with this. At
tho age of 3 he was sent to the poor
house at St. Asaph, where he remained
until he was 13, receiving there a
fair education. He then shipped as a
cabin boy to Now Orleans. Mr. James
never knew exactly what became of the
boy after the sea captain died, but he un
derstood a rich merchant named Stanley
from New Orleans had picked him up ia
London. He adopted his foster father’s
name. The biographies also state that Stan
ley revisited Wales in 1864, and ia 1868
sailed with the British expedition for Abys
sinia. Mr. James is not sure of the date
when Stanley paid the visit to his mother,
but it may have been in 1864. The chances
are that it was in 1868 wheu be went with
the expedition, for he told his mother he
was in a great harry aud needed the bap
tismal papers, or he would lose his job.
Watkin James is now living with his
fourth wife at Homestead. He came to
America with his family in 1879, aud set
tled at Johnstown, where he kept a hotel
near the Lincoln bridge. About five years
ago he moved to Homestead and escaped
the Johustown flood.
When asked why he did not write to Stan
ley to tell him wbo he was, he replied that
Stanley was a great man, and lie was afraid
to bother him. He was content to plod his
way alone, with the people ignorant that
he was married to Stanley’s mother. Now,
that he is getting old, he would like to meet
the explorer and have a long chat with him.
He plied the reporter with questions about
Stanley’s visit to Pittsburg last winter. He
wantod to know if his wife was a hand
some woman, and when the reporter told
him about Stanley’s little negro servant,
whom the explorer had brought from Af
rica, he smiled good-naturedly.

A JUDGE FINED HIMSELF.
His Own Cow Ruined His Garden and
He Paid the Damages.
Prom the Lewiston Journal .
Perhaps the most disgusted man in Somer
set county is a justice of the oeaoe who is
the owner of a fine garden, the pride of his
heart. The other day he was informed that
aa unruly cow had wrought desolation in
his Eden and at once ordered the animal
sent to the pound. Then ho went up to
view the wreck, aud after noting the vacant
places where the beets and corn had been,
the trampled down squashos and cabbages
and the demoralized pen vines and sunflow
ers, and ascertaining, as he supposed, the
owner of the oow, be made out a writ
against that individual, containing, so the
Fairfield Journal is informed, fourteen dif
ferent aud distinct counts, including tres
pass, forcible entry, malicious mischief,
nuisance, riotous and disorderly conduct,
and assault and battery with intent to kill.
It was then that he learned that the tres
passer was his own cow, and his ire cooled
as he meekly paid a field driver for getting
her out of the pound.

hugo barks like a dog.
He Has to be Strapped to Keep Him
Quiet.
From the A'ei c York Herald.
Harlem has a case of hydrophobia, ac
cording to the diagnosis of Ur. Fitzgerald
of the stall of the Harlem hospital. The
victim Is Hugo Eitel, the 17-year-old son of
Edward Eitel, a German who keeps a saloon
at the corner of Fifth avenue and One
Hundred and Tenth street.
There are circumstances surrounding the
case which make it a remarkable one in its
way, and which tend to show that all the
symptoms of the dread malady mentioned
may appear in an individual w hose nervous
organization has become disordered, with- ;
cut tracing the cause directly to the bite of I
an animal suffering from rabies.
For u week jwist HugoEitel has been visit
ing F. J. Heiuhardt and family, who are his
cousins, at No. 369 Lockwood street. As
toria. Tuesday afternoon the young man
came into the house and complained of feel
ing ill. About 6 o’clock in the evening,
after a brief nap on a sofa, he awoke and
began to act strangely, growling like
a dog and snapping at everybody who oame
near him.
A telegram was sent to his father at once
and he reached Astoria about 10 o’clock
that night. He found the son so violent
that it required all his own exertion and
those of three other strong men to hold the
boy dowm on the bed.
A TERRIBLE SCENE.
The boy’s struggles were awful. Ha
frothed at the mouth and uttered cries
which were heartrending. At 6 o’olocb
yesterday morning Mr. Eitel sent a police
man to fetch the nearest ainbulanoe to be
had in Astoria, tie was informed, so he
says, that ho would have to pay for such a
convenience, but made no objection, saying
he would pay anything, as his son was too
violent to be taken home in a carriage.
Before aid arrived the boy appeared to be
suffering from delirium, and had run
around the room where he was confined
Jumping over the furniture and even climb
ing on the mantlepiece, where he howled
like a dog in great pain. Yesterday morn
ing, after a delay of nearly four hours, the
policeman whom Mr. Eitel had sent for an
ambulance returned and said that the au
thorities bad refused to furnish one.
It was then nearly 10 o’clock, but Hugo
had quieted down from sheer weakness, and
Mr. Eitel concluded to take his son home in
a carriage. Besides the sufferer and his
father there were two doctors in the hack,
oue of whom was Dr. Weiss, the Bltels’
family physician, and the other Dr. Hille
brandt, of Astoria. The physicians were
provided with sponges and a supply of
chloroform in case the unfortunate lad
should become violent agaiu.
WHERE IS THE DOG?
During his lucid moments Hugo told
abjut having been bitten by a dog in the
loft temple and in the calf of the left leg
some five or six weeks before. He said the
dog that had bitten him was a big New
foundland or bloodhound, hut he could not
suy whether he was bitten in New York or
Astoria. He saio, further, that he had no
idea that the dog wus mad, and attached no
importance to the wounds, wnich were
slight.
After arriving at his home yesterday
Hugo was comparatively quiet, and even
drauk a glass of water with great eager
ness. Shortly after noon, however, he be
gan to have convulsions again, and once
more commenced to bark like a dog aud
snap at everything near him. His father
then telephoned for an ambulance from the
Harlem hospital, and upon its arrival the
sufferer was strapped down band and foot
and removed to that institution. This was'
only effected, howevei, after a frightful
struggle, as the youth seemed to be pos
sessed of the strength of several strong
men.
The boy’s agony at the time was some
thing frightful to witness, as paroxysm fol
lowed paroxysm until his slight frame was
so shaken tnat it seemed as if each convul
sion must be the last.
Late last night Dr. Fitzgerald, who is at
tached to the hospital staff, told me that he
bad just left the lad and that he was much
calmer, though he might be attacked again
by convulsions at any moment.
DR. GIBIER CONSULTED.
Mr. Eitel, the boy's father, told me that
his son had been subject to heart trouble
for some time past and that ho was of an
extremely nervous organization. He also
stated that while his son manifested every
symptom of hydrophobia, that he had no
idea as to when or under what ciroumstunces
he had been bitten by a dog.
I asked Mr. Eitel if he intended to call in
the services of Dr. Gibier, and he told me
that Dr. Weiss had already written to that
eminent expert on hydrophobia, stating iu
the fullest manner young Kitel’s symptoms
and inquiring whether it would be better to
bring the sufferer to the Pasteur Institute
to-day or to continue to treat him at the
hospital until Dr. Gibier could get there to
see him and make his own diagnosis.
REVEALED IN A DREAM.
Mrs. Short's Husband Buried In a
Well.
From the New York Herald.
The sudden death of Mrs. Ellen Short of
Jamaica, L. 1., and the result of the investi
gation of a vision she olaimed appeared to
her, have cleared up a mystery which has
puzzled the residents of that quiet town for
over a year.
Mrs. Short died last Monday at her home
on Washington street, and shortly before
her death repeated to one of her children
the story of a dream she had often had. It
was that she saw the body of her husband,
who had mysteriously disanpenred on July
14, 1890, lying at the bottom of a big well
in the Long Island railroad round house. A
search party found the body.
William S -ort was 45 years old aud a car
cleaner in the employ of the Long Island
railroad. On the morning of Julv 14 he
was left alone In the engine house and was
never seen alive agaiu. Mrs. Short was
left to provide for a family of seven chil
dren, the eidesL oue but 14 years old.
CAME TO HER IN A DREAM.
It was believed at first that Short had
abandoned his family. Mrs. Short did not
believe it, and soon afterward a vision ap
peared to her while she slept which con
firmed her disbelief. One night, she said,
she was awakened from a sound sleep and
saw plainly in the dim light of the room her
husband, who told her to have some oue
look iu the well, Into which he had fallen.
Mrs. Short repeated this story to some of
her neighbors, but they were incredulous.
The railroad officials were told about it.
They refused to investigate.
The oldest boy of the family had for some
time held a position iu the telegraph office
of the railroad. He was disoharged soon
after his father’s disappearance, and the loss
of bis income was a serious one to his
mother. She tried every kind of work to
provide food for her children, even working
for farmers in their fields. Every day the
Btrugglefor existence became more severe.
It was no unusual thing for hsr to spend an
entire day seeking work, and then have to
send the children to bed without a hit to eat.
On Monday, after such an unsuccessful day,
she came home utterly worn out and
dropped Into a chair hardly able to speak.
DEATH RELIEVED HER.
She sent one of her daughters out to get
some water, kissed another of her children
who climbed into her lap and then leaned
back in her chair. The children played
around softly so as not to awaken
her. Finally, when she did not
get up to prepare their supper,
one of the youngest pulled her by the
dress. There came no answer from the
white lips, and when the daughter returned
with the water she saw her mother was
dead.
Kind hearted neighbors found the chil
dren crying and hungry. The Bisters of
St. Dominiok took charge of them.
Coroner McEveritt of Jamaica held an
inquest on Mrs. Short’s body on Thursday
night. One of the boys told the coroner
that the day before bis mother died she bad
another sight of her husband’s ghost.
The ooronor had not heard the story be
fore, aud ho interested several men in Hand
got up a search at midnight.
William Magnle, who was in charge of
the engine house at 1 o’clock yestsriay
morning, volunteered to go down the wait
It is about fifteen feet wide and sixty feet
deep. A pair of rickety stairs circle about
the sides, and tho descent was dangerous.
Magalo, lantern to hand, finally reached tUo
bottom and looked about.
The first thing to catch his eye was the
body of a man lying at full length, with a
piece of timber Laying across it. Two or
three others descended and saw the same
fearful sight. By the clothing it was known
os Short’s.
The body was taken from the well and
carried to the morgue. An inquest will be
held in the case to-day.
The bodies of husbaud and wife will be
buried together.
THE! SECOND FLORIDA.
The Blue and Gray Hold a Reunion at
St. Augustine.
St. Augustine, Fla., Aug. 14.—The re
union of the Second Florida confederate
veterans is taking place in this city, lasting
until to-morrow night.
Col. W. D. Ballantiue commands during
the absence of Col. Moore, who, with the
governor, also of the Second regiment,
sends regrets for being absent.
Maj. A. J. Russell of Tallahassee, adju
taut of the regiment, and Rev. Kulwood of
Mcultrie made able speeches to tho confed
erates and their friends. Their words go
far to prove the truth of the feelings of
harmony existing between the veterans of
ttie blue and gray, and to disprove the say
ings of the political demagogues.
The band of the Fifth United States
Infantry headed the parade of the local
military companies escorting the G. A. R,
ami their guests, the confederates. It is one
of the grandest reunions, not only of the
Second Florida veterans, but of the ouce
opposing veterans of the north aud south,
ever witnessed.
The opera house is docked profusely with
the flags of the nation. The music is a
medley of "Dixie,” “Yankee Doodle," and
“My Country ’Tis of Thee.”

GREAT - PROPOSITION
THE MORNING NEWS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE
Americanized fiicjcltpadia Britain,
A revolution in journalism and literature. The greatest
itcrary offer ever conceived.
A PLAN TO PLACE IN EVERY HOME
The most complete Reference Library and work of general
reading in the world. A great monumental work
of scholarship and research.

liable, easy of reference*
TRb Oily Encyclipflia Complete on to Dale.
It Is* Dlotionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, to which is added description* of
American oities, with a history of their origin and growth, with accurate information of
their situation, population, resources, eta
4.000 special biographical sketches of noted personages living and dead brought down
to date. A. literary treasury treyomi price. *
TEN LARUE HANDSOME VOLUMES, printed on extra fine paper in good
clear now type made expressly for this work. 1 •
NINETY-SIX COLORED MAPS, showing every country in the world with a
separate map for every stale in the Union, corrected and revised up to date The work
is fully illustrated aud is handsomely uud durably bound. Nearly 14 000 columns of
reading matter and over 10,000,000 words. ’
In respect of the process of condensation, while there has been the utmost care in tha
■natter of condensation, there has been no elimination of subjects. Not one subject ha*
been left out It is obvious, however, that many of tbo themes discussed* have a
reiutive rather than universal Interest. There are many matters of interest to European*
that oannot, in the nature of the case, have tue same Interest for Americans. Many of
the details of historic ovents that are probably of groat importance in a work distinct
ively ISritanmca, are not of equal importance in a work distinctively American For ex
ample, tbe English reader will be interested in all the details of the Battle of Waterloo
while the American reader will be more concerned about the details of the Battle of
Gettysburg, the decisive battle of the War of the Rebellion. The work of condensation
and the work of amendment have been wrought with equal care, in order that nothin*
of Old World interest might be omitted, und that duo reference might be made to tboas
grand personages and events which havo made the history of Amerioa the wonder and
admiration of the world.
