A BENATCR WHOSE LIFE HAS
BEEN ONS OF ADVENTURE.
Disheartening Experience with the
Famous Comstock Lode—Guarding
a Haystack at $lO a Day—Fortunes
Lost and Won.
From the Few York herald.
Nearly every one of our United States
senators has had a life of ups and downs.
Senator Sherman worked on a canal a9 a
surveyor, and his first speculation in a boat
load of salt turned out badly. Allison made
barely a living at the law before he went to
Ohio, and "Cnl” Brice, rich as he now is,
pegged away for ten yean in debt before
he made the lucky stroke which formed the
foundation of bis fortune. Philetus Bawyer
had to skimp and save during the first
twenty years of bis business life, and Leland
Stanford, who is worth $100,000,000
to-day, thought the whole world was
going to smash wbeu tbo fire came which
burned up all his private papers and books
in his little law office in a country town in
Wisconsin.
There is scarcely a man in the United
States Senate who has not made and lost
fortunes or the chances to make them.
Senator Teller has been within an ace of
being a millionaire half a dozen difforent
times during bis life and Stewart and
Jones, the senators from Nevada, have hud
lives of wonderful adventures When Sen
ator Stewart left the Senate some years ago
he was supposed to be worth about SS,OiX),-
UOO which he had made in mining and he
has made fortunes as a mining lawyer.
He made a big thing out of the Comstock
lode and for one mining case he got a
fee in stock which netted biro SIOO,OOO. He has
lost his whole fortune again and again,
but he is said to be a rich man to-day, aud
be owns the $125,000 house which he rents
to the Chinese legation. Senator Jones
when he was first elected to the Senate in
lS72>as worth $5,000,000, which he had made
out of the Comstock lode. He lost this
all in real estate and mining speculation,
and then made another fortune or two and
lost them before be got into his Alaska
mine, which is now bringing in, so it is
said, something like *300,000 a year for
him.
UNPUBLISHED EXPERIENCES.
Speaking of tho ups and downs of t,he3e
senators from the western states, some of
the best of thtir experiences have never
been published. There is not a man in con
gress from the Pacific slope whoso life has
not been full of romance, aud one of the
members of the House from California told
me some stories last night of tbs early life of
Sena.or Charles Felton, the young million
aire who has the seat of the late George
Hearat in the United States Senate. Said
this man:
“Felton was only 17 years of age when be
landed in California. It is a mistake to say
that he had been brought up a poor boy.
His fattier was rich for his time aud place,
and ho went to school in an academy in
Syracuse, N. Y., living at this time with
his uncle, who was u well-to-do lawyer.
When he was about 16, however, he nad
some little trouble with his uncle, and he
borrowed SSOO from bis friends and went
around Cape Horn with Flood and after
ward became a millionaire.
"He landed in San Francisco with less
tbau a dollar in his pocket, and he and a
party of three others went ahout the city
together. One of the first places they
visited was the Parker house, then the mo t
famous gambling place on the Pacific slope,
and a sooro of games were in progress. The
bar was running, being manipulated by a
fancy bartender, and one of the men sug
gested that tho ‘Deacon,’ which was the
nickname for Felton, should set up the
drinks. The boy had only 70 cents in his
pocket, and this was in the shape of seven
10-cent pieces. He was generous, however,
and though he had never taken a drink in
his life he laid he had no objection,* and he
stepped to the bar and called for beer for
his party of four. Two bottles of English
aie were set on the counter and the men,
thirsty from their long voyage, drank their
glasses off with a will. Then the young
‘Deacon,' thinking of the prices at home in
the east where the glasses were 3 cents
epiece, boldly asked what was the charge,
aud was thunderstruck when the bartender
said it was $2, or $1 a bottle. Young Felton
flushed. He turned pale and was mortified.
A man in business clothes back of the bar
caught his eye and said:
“ ‘I guesß you are a stranger here, young
man, and I want you to let this be my treat,
mid won’t you nil take another drink with
me*’
“Felton replied that be could not, and be
said that he only had 70 cents in his pocket,
and he had no idea that beer was so high in
California. The man, who was Parker him
self, passed it off with a laugh and paid the
bill. The next day the young
"Deacon” got work in San Francisco
at sl6 a day, which was current wages
for ordinary laboring men at that time, and
it was not long before he had plenty of
money and was running a little business of
bis own.
HARD LUCK.
"The story of the life of Senator Felton,"
continued tho congressman, ‘‘is peculiarly
illustrative of the vicissitudes of fortune in
California in the early part of the 50’s. For
8 long time fortune seemed to be against
him. He would make a good stroke only to
md that misfortune had swept it away, and
his struggle for his first SIOO,OOO was a hard
°ne. Still, it was full of pleasant things,
and his losses never affected him. I have
heard him tell some of'the stories. He
worked until he had saved *SOO and then be
went to mining. He was slight and weak,
however, and he saw that he could do less
work in a day than the other miners could
do m two hours, and after he had made
some little money ho quit and concluded to
tr y to make a fortune in other ways.
"Provisions were then very high in the
mines. Potatoes were worth $1 a pound
tad hay *SOO a ton. It cost *1 a pound in
Ireight to pack goods on the backs of mules
;f in the coast to the mines, and be turned
"** attention to packing. Every mule load
"88 worth SIOO in freight and he made
baney very fast.
"lie then staked off a good claim in con
action with a partner and for a long time
took out SIOO a flay apiece. They
Jwu decided to dam the Yuba river and
; tiUs get at the gold in its bed. Tbey had
this time each saved about $5,000 and it
’ok ail 0 f tni 9 to build the dam. When the
°sin was about completed a big flood came
U P and swept it away and tbeir SIO,OOO
with it.
"ds the stream went raging down the
“captains it carried nearly everything be
! re it, and among other things which
rwsod before the eyes of the young man
’•s u sort of a cradle for the u*o of quick
,L Ter in mining. Felton caught hold if
i a n 1 pulled it out. and with it as his
capital be started life again. He rigged
rj i * iittie reduction establishment, got four
‘ive men to work for bini, and was soon
skit g several thousand dollars a month
lai-A hl * ‘lolckillver machine. He apecu
* ‘M witn the proceeds in one way or an
other, and a abort time after this found
himself at Sacramento, his quicksilver
money gone and himself practically broke.
A TURf OF THE WHEEL
“Up to this time Felton's attire la Cali
fornia bad been the costume of the country.
He wore a slouch hat, a pair of rough panta
loons. a thick iwd flannel shirt ad a red
sash about the waist, which answered in the
place of suspenders. In coming bac; w>
Sac. amento he got at bis trunk and put ou
a suit of broadcloth and a white shirt. In
this dress, looking like a swell among the
rough men arouad him, he sat down for
dinner one night in tbe little canvas tent
which forn.od Hje first restaurant at Sacra
mento. Ash eat there eating his dinner a
man of about st>, In business clothes, came
in and took a seat opposite him. After the
two were thnssph with their meal this man,
who had re Named silent up to this time,
suddenly turned to the future senator and
asked if be knew where he could get a man
to work for him. The vnung man replied:
“‘I don’t know. What’s the pay and
whai’s the job** ’’
‘ "The job a bard one,’ returned the
business map. ‘l’ve got a slack of hav
about a mile up t e river above the town
aud I want it watched. It has a corral
around if, but there are a great many cat
tle in the neighborhood and I’m afraid
they’ll get into it. I want to bring it down
on a boat to Sacramento for sale as soon as
I can. The work is not hard and it oughtn't
to be worth more than $lO a day. But if I
can find the right man I’ll pay an ounce, or
sl6 a day.’
•“Well, I’ll seo,’ replied Felton. ‘You
oome around here to-morrow for breakfast
and if I can find you a man I will bring
him with me.’
“The next morning young Felton dressed
himself in his red shirt, rough trousers and
the toggery of his mining camp, and was
sitting at the table when the man came in.
He did not recognize him at first, but when
Felton said ‘Good morning,’ he said: ‘Well,
lam blanked, and what are you going to
do with that outfit?
“‘O,’ replied Felton, ‘l’ve decided to
start out on a tramp.’
“ ’And where are you going 1’ asked the
man.
“ ‘That depends somewhat upon you,’
was the reply. ‘You want a man to watch
that hay up the river, and if you ore of the
same opinion and want a good man, I’ll
take the job.’
" 'But it will be only for a few days,’
said the man. ‘1 am going to get away as
soon as I ran.’
“ ‘I don’t rare whether it is for five davs
or five months, said Felton. ’l’ll take the
job.’
FELTON ON GUARD.
“The man then asked him if he could
shoot, and upon his replying that he could
he went to the store and bought him a shot
gun and told him he could spend his spare
time in bunting about the haystack. He
then gave him a tent and Felton watched
the hay. He watched it for nearly a month,
aud in the meanwhile quite a friendship
grew yp between him and tbe business man,
who was a merchant of Sacramento. Fel
ton sent him down some of the game he
sfiot and the merchant sent bim up things
to eat from tbe store. At last whon the
month was about up and Felton had re
ceived about *SOO for watching the hay
stack, be came Into Sacramento and told
his employer that he had ooncludod to stop
working for him.
“ ‘What are you going to do? was the
reply.
"‘Well,’answered the young man, Tve
noticed that the emigrants who land here
at Sacramento always have a lot of pro
visions with them which they can’t afford
to freight up into the mountains. They
have kegs of pickles, sugar and other
groceries which they sell here to whoever
will buv them. Now you merchants can
not waste time In looking un these things,
and I’ve ooncludod to go in and buy up this
stuff and sell it to you. What do you think
of the idea?
“ ‘lt seems to me to be a good one,’ was
the reply, ‘and If you waut a partnor i’ll go
in with you.’
“ ‘l’d rather do a big business than a little
one,’ said Felton, and be took the man
iuto partnership. He found the business
paid w ell. He bought pickles for *1 a gal
lon and sold them for *lO, and as most of
them were brought in in 10-gallon kegs, be
made *9O a keg. Pickles brought this high
price from the miners because they were
thought to be a remedy for tbe sourvy,
which was almost an epidemic among
them, and in a few months the deacon had
cleared *6,000, $3,000 of which went to his
partner.
ANOTHER DISASTER.
"Felton next conceived the idea of taking
a big stock of goods up into the mountains,”
continued the congressman, with a laugh,
"and he bought two whale boats, paying
SSOO apiece for them, and ho bought all the
goods he could with the extra *2,000 be had
left and borrowed $2,000 more from his
merchant friend and put that into goods.
He now had his boats and *4,000 worth of
goods, and he moved with these up the
river to Marysville. Here be left the boats
in charge of bis assistant and rode across
the oountry, intending to go to tbe mining
camps and see just how muob demand there
was for the goods before be took them fur
ther inland. Ho could get a good price for
them at Marysville, but he expected to get
a good deal more for them at the mines. Ho
made twelve miles the first day and stopped
over night at a ranch. That night a terri
ble storm came up and tbe rain poured in
sheets for two days.
“When Felton got back to Marysville be
found the country about it covered with
water and that bis man who was watching
his boats had barely escaped with bis life.
He had been sleeping on the banks of tbe
river and when the flood came had only
been able to save himself by olimbing a
tree, and the boats had been swamped and
carried away by tho flood. Here was Fel
ton's fortune gone again, and be was $2,000
worse off than nothing. He went back to
bis merchant friend at Sacramento, and
the man generously told him that be bad
made SI,OOJ out of him anyhow and that he
could pay him when he got ready.
A TRICK LOST.
“It was not long, however, before be was
on his feet again, aud in a short time re
deemed his obligation. For some time bis
life went on witn similar ups and downs,
until at last he managed to save enough to
give him capital to work with, and from
that time on his progress was rapid. He
speculated in mines and real estate, always
acting on the square, but taking the ad
vantages which his good business judgment
gave bim, and he made a fortune. He had
at one time a part of the famed Comstock
lode, which afterward made so many peo
ple wealthy. He bad given a good price
per foot for it, but though he had found
some pay dirt in his claim, it was compara
tively small, and, in connection with his
partner, he sold tae whole for $190,090.
Shortly after ttila the wonderful vein was
discovered, and under tbe very olaim which
he sold for this Aftionnt was found its rich
est yield. It i* *afe to say that $100,000,000
were taken out from under the spot which
he sold for less than *200,000.
•‘lt is something to have had experience
like these, rf fi‘something to hare made
and lost fortune*. It is something to b> a
millionaire United States senator, but it is
a groat deal more for a man to go
through all these experiences and to retain
the same practical common sense and the
same freedom from conceit and love for his
fellowmen that ne had whon he was in the
beginning of his career. And this,” con
cluded tbe congressman, “L tbe case With
our new California senator, Mr. Felton.
He is one of the few men I know whom
fame riches and reputatiou have not
spoiled.” F- G. C.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. FEBRUARY 29.1892.
WAS IT HYDROPHOBIA?
A Queer Story Told In a Letter to the
London Spectator.
Sir—Allow me to relate to you an ex
perience, unique, as far as I know, in the
annals of railway adventures.
I, in my husband’s unavoidable absence,
crossed alone in the middle of that dreadful
weather we had about a fortnight ago, fr-m
Dublin to Holyhead, and, having had a
rough passage, I sought aud found the soli
tude of an empty second-class carriage.
After the u ual delay we started, and as tha
train moved, a gentleman, for he had every
appearance of one, jumped In. 11 oked sus
piciously at him, wondering why he should
have delayed getting on till the last moment,
and remembering that, for better or worse,
I was compelled to enjoy or endure bis so
ciety for a considerable time, as the
train was an express, and stopped but
seldom. He was a man of perhaps 35 years
of age, and from tbe few surreptitious
glances I was able to give while he was ar
ranging himself aud his rug, 1 decided he
was mild and harmless-looking. Not many
minutes had, howover, passed, when a dog's
bark in the carriage alarmed me not a little;
but, sir, you can well imagine that I felt
frozen to my seat with an indescribable
terror, while my hair seemed to rise from
the roots and stand on end, when I beoame
aware that it was the man in the corner who
was barking like a large angry dog! No
words can convey to you tbe horror I felt as
the horrible thought passed through my
mind—“ Hydrophobia; ho will tear me to
pieoes in a minute!"
But, paralyzed as I was, I yet remem
bered that ( could stop the train, and,
afraid even to move my eyelids, tried to
recollect on which side the communication
cord was. On miue, 1 thankfully perceived.
But if I did stop tbe train how could I ac
count to the guard for my action I Wbat
proof should I have to offer that the gentle
man in tbe corner had bean barking ? Good
heavens! he was barking again, more
angrily and furiously than before, growling
and snapping. Terror-stricken, a horrible
fascination, nevertheless, compelled me to
look him in the fac *, and O! blessed reaction
of feeling, I saw that he was
asleep; yes, sir, Bound asleep, and
barking as he slept. Stealthily
I watched him for nearly an hour—was he
indeed only dreaming, or would he wake to
fall in dog-like fury on bis fellow traveler?
I, however, became convinced that he was
sleeping like a child—or rather, like a dog—
ho snored loudly and groaned from timato
time; and at last (terribly anxious moment
for niel woke with an audible shudder (os it
to see if I had observed the shudder) and re
marked quite sanely: “What bitter weather
for traveling!” And he slept nor barked no
more till 1 lett the train.
Now, sir, have you ever heard of a like
experience (for no fancy tale is this, but
literally true from beginning to end), or that
human beings ever dream they are animals?
And yet, if not, what was it? I am, sir,
eto.. A. D. O.
[Strangely enough, we had not received
this letter two hours when wo heard of an
other case. The sufferer, this time a
laborer, barked so loudly and so exactly
like a dog that bis comrades, believing him
to be in some way uncanny, struck. His
employer threatened to send for a doctor
and have his throat cut open for examina
tion; and the unlucky wretch, frightened to
death, ceased to bark for a few days. His
disease was, in fact, a rare nervous affec
tion.—Ed. Spectator .]
THE MIKADO’S GARDEN PARTY.
A Reception Amid a Profusion of Gor
geous Loyal Chrysanthemums.
From the Providence Journal.
The crowning event of laßt autumn
was the emperor’s garden party in No
vember In bis palace at Tokio,
in connection with tbe annual chrysanthe
mum show. All the world knows that this
is the national flower of this sunrise land,
but one must see it here, in its own soil, to
appreciate its beauty and to see how well it
deserves the ehoioe of the oountry. The
instant you euter the palace gates you are
conscious that only royalty could have such
surroundings. After a short walk through
the delightful grounds we found ourselves
among all the guests awaiting the accept
ance of our credentials in the shape of our
invitations by the oifioiais assigned.
We entered a building beautifully dec
orated, delivered our cards and passed on.
Vista after vista of superb lawns greeted
us, and we wandered on througb long ave
nues, admiring on either sida the orna
mental shrubs. The foliage was just
changing color, and tbe tiny, sharp-poiutwi
leaves of the Japanese maple were brilliant
red and yellow. At a distance of a few
yards apart soldierly little Japs stood
dressed in the court costume of Napoleon
1., and by and by we came to a tout with
numerous tables dotted about. And now
before us, around us. behind us were the
chrysanthemums resplendent in their gor
geous colors. There wai a long row of
stalls with about five shelves to each, and
on these were placed the plants, some of
them bearing 100 of the beautiful blossoms.
The variety seemed almost endless, from
the small daisy-like flower to the large,
luxuriant blossoms with foathery fringes.
Hard, indeed, it would be to make a choice
between them, they are all so perfect In
white, pink, yellow and in dark terracotta
with a gold lining to each petal. One oould
fill pages with descriptions of their beauties.
At length the word neDt about the em
peror and empress were approaching. Tne
guests assembled in iiue and the imperial
party passed by. The mikado and tne em
press were dressed in European costume, he
wearing many decorations and tho empress
a light fawn-colored brocade made iu the
latest fashion, but as she is distinctly of
Japanese type and figure her Baris gown
did not suit her as the picturesque native
“kimono” would have done. All the im
perial household were dressed in foreign
clothes and with thoir small stature and
mincing walk the effect was almost gro
tesque. We were much amused at some of
the dresses worn by tbe Japanese ladies,
made after a style of several years ago,and
probably only brought out by them at this
annual festival, iu happy ignorance of the
changes of fashion.
A magnificent banquet was prepared in a
large tent, and in the presence of royalty
we were entertained, though there was no
individual presentation except in the case
of tbe diplomats and the commanders of
the English aid American men-of-war.
Just before the end a shower came up aud
we were all furnished with Japanese um
brellas, hastily making our escapo, and
running as fast as we could, the echo of the
band still libgering In our ears. It was a
royal party, with royal surroundings and
princely cheer.

HAVE VOL' THE GRIPPE ?
Many People Have ll and Do Not Know It.
How to Recognize the Symptoms and How
to Treat Them.
Humlreda of people have the Grippe who do
not know it. Not necoaaarlly tha final stage*,
but the first stages. They feel pams Id the
head, and a bad teste In the mouth, get tired
and despondent, have chilly actuation*, limbs
and muscles ache, la some easee thoee tblrgs
are overlooked. In most cases perhaps they
are considered simply a slight cold. In
nearly every case they indicate tbe oomlng of
Grippe.
There is but one thing to do when these
symptoms appear, and tLat is to take prompt
and vigorous measures, to fortify nature !o re
pel the enemy. A little well directed effort at
just the right time will accomplish very much
more tliar. labored efforts afterward. There is
but one thing to be done, and that is to use a
pure stimulaut, something that will promptly
arrest, and in no way injure, something in
dorsed by scientists, recommended bv physi
clans, and popular because so efficient—Duffy*
I hire Malt Whiskey. Two years ago, and last
year when the Grippe was raging, this wns the
standard remedy used, and recommended by
tbe profeaslon It did more to prevent tbe
Grippe than all other known or recommended
remedies. It preserved many people iu health
wno would otherwise have been grievously
sick, perhaps even worse. It in as efficient to
day as ever. It should be borne in mind that
other so-called whiskies may not bo so efficient,
and if any dealer asserts that such whiskies are
tbe same, distrust bimat once. There is but
one medicinal whiskey, and that is Duffy's l’ure
Malt.
rJOINKD AFTER MANY YEARS.
Tbe Romantic Sequel to a Courtship
of tbe Past.
New Brunswick, N. J,, Feb. 28—A ro
mantic story has been disclosed in couneo
tiou with tbe sudden marriage of Rev. C. J.
Wilson of the George’s Road Baptist church,
to Mrs. Emily F. Getty of Torouto, Canada,
in New Brunswick after a week's court
ship.
Many years ago, toward the close of the
late American war, there appeared in the
city of Montreal, Canada, a yonng, pious,
intelligent and aspiring clergyman, whose
genial nature *oou made for him a warm
circle of friends. Among the acquaint
ances of those days was the daughter of
Maj. James Elliott. She more than all
others, interested this young clergyman to
such an extent that he pleaded with her to
take him in marriage.
A dashing young southerner from Vir
ginia, attached by birth and rank to th e
southern confederacy, appeared and he too
soon fell madly In love with the fair Cana
dian girl, and was accepted. Through
many years they walked the path of life
together, then death broke the ties that
bound them. Rev. Mr. Wils. n found and
married a woman of many virtues and ex
cellences of character. Death sundered the
ties that bound them together, no that for
the last year he bad been a lone.
Fortune now smiled again upon the
clergyman, and after a brief correspondence
lie was permitted to meet a few days ago,
in New Brunswick, bis "first love," aud
again he said: "Will you be miue?" and
she answered “Yes."
