nnd deserve i< ns far as in my power lies.
T am aware in thus accepting the great
trust reposed in my keeping that grave re

These responsibilities are increased by the
many perplexing V r< >hlems that now con

the happiness and prosperity of our peo

The.-e disturbing problems have arisen by
reason of the unwise departure from the
foundation principles- and traditional poli
cies of our government by the present ad
ministration. and. in my opinion, they can
only be safely met and wisely solved by
u return to these principles and policies.
The true theory of government and the
remedy for conditions existing and threat

in the Kansas City National platform of

TIIO Story of a Deception Practiced
\ear Tift on.
Tiflon. Ga., July 11.—A case for the
whipping post occurred near Tifton this
week, some of tlie parties being well
known citizens of this section. It is not
yet settled, but the parties most interest
ed seem disposed to leave the guilty ones
to be dealt with as the law' directs, so
there will probably be no further trouble.
For some time |>ast, a young man giving
his name as J. W. Dorminy, and claiming
to I>c from Fitzgerald, has been boarding
with Mr. W. H. Bowt-n, a farmer who lives
about fik- miles fotn Tifton. Dorminy was
an employe of a sawmill firm near by, and
hauled logs for them. Mr. Bowen has a
Pretty daughter. Miss Docia, just bud
ding into womanhood, and to this young
lady, Dorminy soon began paying court.
There seemed to be 110 objection to the
young man. and for a while the course of
true love ran- smooth; they became en
gaged, and the day for the wedding was
set.
Last Saturday, Mr. Bowen took his
daughter in the buggy with him and start
ed to Tifton, where she was to make a
few’ purchases to complete her wedding
outfit. Ull the way, he was overtaken by
Dorminy, also in a buggy. w r ho asked, that
the young lady might ride wrti> him. At
first Mr. Bowen refused, but later con
sented, and the young couple soon dropped
behind. Arriving at Tilfton, he waited
awhile for them, ntul they failing to ap
pear, he set out 10 search for them. They
had not been seen at home, and he failed
fo find any trace of them that day.
lime next day. he fount! they had spent the
night with a gentleman living a few miles
south of Tifton. where they claimed to
have been married.
Mr. Bow’fn failed to find any one who
had married them, or any one who had
granted them a license. Later he found
where they had boarded the southbound
Georgia Southern train, and next day Mr.
J. C. Young, a friend of the family,
found -them in Yaldos<a. boarding with
Mr. J. M. Jimerson, and claiming to be
man and wife. Dorminy had obtained
work ot a saw mill near town.
When questioned, the young woman
said, with a shower of tears, that they
had nor been married; that Dorminy had
asked her to elope with him to be mar
ried that day; had claimed to be unable
to find any one to perform the ceremony,
and finally brought her to' Valdosta for
the purpose of getting someone to marry
them; that, arriving there, he first claim
ed to be unable to find a minister o-r
magistrate, and later put her off from
day to day on first one excuse and then
another, at last threatening to kill her
if she told they were not married.
Mr. Young had Dorminy arrested and
lodged in jail, and brought the girl home
to her parents. In the meantime, among
Dorminy's efects, letters had been found
from a woman claiming to be his wife,
and begging him to return to her; also
letters from a young woman, asking him
how long before he would obtain his di
vorce and marry her as he find promised.
The case appears <0 be an aggravated
one, and Mr. Bowen says he will prose
cute the matter to tlie extent of the law.
PRINCE. Tl AN, NIW OF DESTINY.
Something About the “Alan on
Horseback" of Middle Kingdom.
From the New York World.
On the blood-rod dawn that "comes up
like thunder outer China 'crost the bay"
there is one figure that looms into sud
den direful prominence and another that
shrinks into lamentable and mysterious
nothingness.
The first of these is Prince Tuan, head
of the Boxer movement. The second is
Kwang-Su, the boy Emperor of China.
Who is Prince Tuan, and to what end
is he the instrument of destiny? Where
is the Emperor, and is he dead or alive?
These are questions to which all Christen
dom in arms awaits an answer.
Prince Tuan is n newcomer on the
stage of international affairs. He is a
man of mystery. Recent terrible develop
ments point to the conclusion that In
China lie is "The Man on Horseback.’’
What manner of man is he* that com
mands tiie hordes who have established a
reign of terror in China? The very mys
tery enveloping his personality, his ambi
tion, his aims, his intellectual force, adds
to the fascination and the terror that his
name already inspires in the civilised
world.
Two things about him are certain, lie
is of royal blood -and he would extermi
nate foreigners. Beyond that ad is dark
ness.
Prince Tuan’s watchword or ihe
watchword with which he inspires the
fanatical hosts under him—is an inversion
of the cry that thrilled California to riot
a few year* ago. It is, "China for the
Chinese!’’ That is the abstract idea.
More specifically, the Boxer niot'o is,
"Drive the foreign devils into the sea!"
It is thus that Prince Tuan, brother of
the late Emneror and uncle of the sickly
young Emperor whc.se fare is in and >ub',
spurs to de ds of barbaiity the hordes
that Ir* has mustered under his bloody
standard. But what end does he see?
Docs he honestly b lleve that he can pre
vail against the united Powers of Chris
tendom? Is he really a blgoied tat riot
fighting sincerely for a cause he be irves
to be righteous? Or is he a scheming pre
tender lusting for Ihe throne and igno
rant of *he force which civilization can
hr ng to b ar against him?
These are things that Europe and
America lave yet to be informed upon.
They have no means of gauging Prince
Tuan’s character, because until a month
or two ago the man was unknown. He
had done nothing to draw a lention to
himself, nothing 10 indicate ihe poteniial
iti s of m’sehief and rnurd r that lurk'd
in his brain, nor the ambition that would
held a horrified world at bay.
Prince Tuan is the son of the fifth
Prince Tim. cf the. House of Tuakwang
He is about 40 years old. He Is the father
of Pu-Chun. the boy of fourteen, who was
i l: incd os si c-'sscr to the throne in the
remarkable edict i sue) by the Emperor
Kwang-Su uhi January.
It was when that edict was cabled all
over the world that the it ention of
Uhristet dom vh* flist directed to Prin e
Tuan. No small curiosity was felt in Ids
personality, but not much could ke learn
ed about him, rx.ept that he hated f r
elgnc s It wft* interpret! as n bad

omen that his ron, designated to become
the next Emperor of Ohlra. was under
the instruction and influence of two in
tensely anii-foreign tutors.
It was learned, furthermore, that Prince
Tuan was the head of the great secret
societies known as "The Grea* Sword"
and "The Boxers,” which had been le
sponsible for the murder of Mr. Brooks,
the missionary, and the influence of which
extended over the provinces of Chili,
Shangtung and Honan.
This was at a time when the Boxer anti
foreign movement was first beginning to
excite alarm.
One thing more Christendom knows
about Prince Tuan. He is an athlete. He
vigor. He has been enthusiastic in tier
vigor. He has ben enthusiastic in per
suading the young men of China to fol
low the same course. This in part ac
counts for his influence. Beginning as an
athletic leader, hr* became successively a
political and martial leader. The Boxers
were athletes before they became assas
sins.
As for the Emperor Kwang-Su, he has
never at any time been more than a fig
urehead on rhe throne, a puppet in the
hands of the astute Dowager Empress.
He is a son of the seventh prince Chung,
of the house of Tuakwang, and therefore
a nephew of the late Emperor. Tung-
Chee. Tung-Chee was completely under
the influence of his mother, the second
slave-wife of the Emperor Heinfung, sev
enth monarch in the present dynasty of
Tsing.
It is customary in China for an Emperor
to name his successor. Tung Ohee toward
the close of his short, wild life, named
the Infant Kuang-Su. This was the Em
press Dowager’s choice. She selected
Kuang-Su as the youngest and sickliest of
her nephews. She had ruled her hus
band. she had ruled her son. she means
to rule a third Emperor. The edict ot last
January pointed to the conclusion that she
was desirous of ruling a fourth, hut from
what Prince Tuan has shown of his mettle
it seems likely that if his son ever comes
to the throne of China Prince Tuan will
be desirous of doing some ruling on his
own account.
But then no one knows that he and the
Emperor Dowager have not been p'aylng
into each other’s hands.
Kuang-Su, at all events, has led n mis
erable life. He has bad no shadow of
authority— not even of liberty. When he
succeeded to the throne he was only 4
years old. From that moment he was a
prisoner in the imperial palace at Pekin.
The Empress Dowager administered the
empire and moulded her nephew's charac
ter to suit her own plans.
It suited her that he should be sickly,
self-indulgent, of feeble will, given over to
gro.-s pleasures, timorous of responsibility,
dependent upon her in everything.
So she bent the twig, and so the tree
grew. Th ■ Emperor of China was a
mannikin. His aunt was the ruler of the
empire.
lie has been described as a small, deli
cate, intellectual (poking youth, with larg
black eyes and a thin, pale face. Ills
grand tutor for many years was I’r.g Tung
lino, a bigotfd Chinese mandarin, s rong
ly opposed to foreigners and Western
ways.
His enforced redgrat'on two years ago
was immediately followed by the p o
ec ir'licn and flight of the 1 aders of ihe
"Reformers,” who had prematurely hail
ed with satisfaction some indications of
Imperial intentions to we'eome European
civilization.
Kwang Su's marriage in lES9 was the
first occasion of fatal variance between
the young Emneror and his aunt the
Dowager. He had chosen the daughter of
a high Manchugmilitary officer, but the
Empress Dowager had already made a
match for him, having chosen her own
niece for the honor, and her will prevail

From the Baltimore American.
"The most gifted writers of the world,’’
writes Mr. Edward T. Parsons from riar.
Francisco, to the executive officers of Ihe
Mazama Club of this city, "have found
language inadequate to depict and describe
the wonders and beauties-of the Yosemtle
valley; nor can words convey to those wtto

of the ever-changing lights and shadow*
on its wonder-pieces of rocks, domes, cas
cades, waterfalls and Ihe panorama of
ih higher Sierra, visible from its lofty
view points—the Liberty Cap and the
Sentinel Dome— both of which I climbed
on a recent trip.
"John Muir has described the fore-.s of
the Yosomlte region, but one needs not to
be a forester or mountain lover to enthuse
over those nobles of the world’s coinfers,
the yellow pine (pltiu* pondorosa) ami the
sugar pine (pinus hinbertiana). which here
attain their highest development in size,
hight and beauty; the silver fir tables

which were high in their rugged majesty
when the pyramid# were building; which

than w found on those occasion* are to

curious rock formation wall in the
valley than we discovered on those ex

the domes’ of granite, two of which I
climbed and examined, and which could
not fail to interest all mountain lovers,
and I must particularize also those most
beautiful views from the summits of
Glacier Point. Sentinel Dome. Liberty
Cap and Eagle Peak with their pano

and glories of natural scenery, all so
gathered together that any one. although
not perhaps so rugged as the members
of our climbing fraternity, can take them
in without undue fotigue, while to those
of us who seek the higher altitude*", there
are the Sierras of the back region, wait
ing for our investigating footsteps, our
cameras and our climbing expeditions,
and which can be visited, one after an
other. from the valley.

hut little known to the general public, iw
filled with most unique and strange na
tural wonders, craters, domes and can
yons that rival the Yellowstone in every
thing but size; lake* of purest water, alive
with gamest trout, and gems of valleys
unknown to tlx* world only by reason of
the greater celebrity of the Yosenvite. Be
lieving this region worthy of our atten
tion. I have just returned from a weekV
trip in the valley, during which 1 saw it
iii sunshine and in stormy weather, and
found it equally imposing in its smiling,
a? well as in its frowning moods.
"Going in by way of Ra\rriond and VVa
wona, we entered the valley while its
higher points were veiled In the clouds.
The next day the peaks remained curtain
ed from our gaze, fo we visited Vernal
Falls, taking a four-mile tramp through
the valley and up o grade over a fine trail,
to and through its canon, up under the
fall and to its Mge. where we could look
upon its facs of misty fleeciness and down
the canon the Merced river follows to
the valley.
"The next day our party tramped to
Glacier Point, in the clouds, and 1 con
tinued on to Sentinel Dome. 8.125 feet
high, whech was reached in a driving
snowstorm, after an hour’s hard climbing
from Glacier Point, through soft snow'
and open spaces in the forests.
"The dome is a granite bubble, ot one
time pushed up in plastic form; cooling,
its face cracked in different directions, and
while contracting, the surface scaled off
in large, concav e shell® which have mostly
disintegrated Into coarse granite sand,
leaving the parent mass rounded and
dome-shaped, as are nearly al) the so-call
ed 'domes’ of this region.
"I returned to Glacier Point, after half
ap hour at the s'ummit, in time to enjoy
a magnificent panorama of the higher
peaks to the east —the North Dome, the
Basket Dome. Mount Watkins, the Half
Dome, Cloud’s Rest, Mount Gardiner and
Mount Starr King. Below could be seen
Nevada and Vernal Falls, sparkling In
the momentary sunshine, as the cloud*
broke away for half an hour or so. I
reached the Sentinel Hotel in time for 6
o’clock dinner. From the floor of the
valley, about 4.000 feet above the level
of the sea. to Glacier Point, is >1 3.200-foot
rise; from Glacier Point to Sentinel Dome,
i>2s feet.
"The following day. with a party of
friends. I tramped past Vernal nnd Ne
vada Falls again to the IJttle Yosemue
Valley, rind from there climbed to the top
of Liberty Cap. w th an altitude of 7.062
feet, from which we viewed the entire
surrounding region. Especially interes:-
mg did we And South, or Half Dome, juet
north, towering above us to the hight of
5.523 feet, its south convex face showing
veins and cracks, plainly to be seen
through the binocular.
"The summit of Liberty Cap is in itself
a most interesting geological study. On
the northeast side, going up. we found
large scales or shells w’hich had been
broken off in the process of cooling from
the original igneous condition. Under one
of these (at least six feet thick) was a
cavern, in which a dozen people could have
stood, and this shell was ot least fifty feet
across and of an irregular contour. In
another place was a piece of granite, of
clam-shell shape, at least twenty-five feet
across, and if placed concave side up. it
would have held water enough for a small
‘wirrming bath. D'plntegration of the cap
of the dome had split off several large
boulders, and the surface was cracked.
In places there were hole* about a foot
deep, with granite sand bottoms and full
of the finest drinking w’ater. Even on this
bleak and uninviting summit a few moun
tain pines had gained a foothold and were
sturdily fighting for existence. Lower
down from the summit of Liberty Cap the
heather was in bloom, and many varieties
of plant life gave promise of flowering
later. From the top of Liberty Dojne the
view of the Little Yosemite was mo4l com
plete and entrancing.

of these facts, now published for the flr t
time, were obtained:. The storekeeper
finally gave up the search, but otner men.
le*a fortunate, have left their uones on
the desert. One of these was Tom Cover,
ex-sheriff of San Bernardino county, who
started up canon on fool, leaving his
companion to wait for him in a buck boa. I
on the trail. Dead or alive. Cover was
never seen agoln, though his friends or
ganized searching parties and left no stone
unturned In e vain effort to recover his
body.
To one who knows nothing of the coun
try it would seem a simple matter to
relocate the Pegleg But there arc hun
dreds of square miles so broken that the
prosper'tor cannot see fifty yards in any
direction, end to lose hie bearings means
death by thirst. It Is a volcanic region,
broken nnd sown with eshes and lava; a
gloomy waste where death and silence
stand guard over the hill of gold.
The Lee mine has a different history,
though none the less tragic. Years ago
01.1 Man Leq came into Son Bernardino
and recorded a quartz location, describing
it as nearly hs he could In the absence
of a survey, lie hired a man to help him
develop Ihe ledge, and from that lime
forward until his death mode periodical
visits to town to buy supplies and ship the
bullion that he brought in. for he reduced
his own ore by means of an arastra. He
was a eoclable man, had many friends,
and mode no efforts to conceal the where
abouts of his bonanza. There are men
at 111 living In San Bernardino whom he
invited to come out and look at the prop
erty, for which he received numerous of
fers. Ex-Gov. Waterman, who founded
Julian, was eager to buy a half interest
in the but Ihe owner gave It out pos
itively that he would sell to no one. For
that reason, and because the location was
remote and difficult of access, no one ever
went out there.
One night Lee left San Bernardino to
relurn to hi* mine, and was picked up
next morning Just outside the town with
a bullet lit Ills heart. The object of the
murder was not robbery, ns sum of
money and a valuable watch were found
on the body. The assassin was never
raugjit. I.ew had remarked In town that
h4* employe at the mine was about out
of supplies, so a party, Including the pub
lic administrator, started at once for the
mine. They failed to find It, nor has it
been found to this day. In time the loca
tion became void, and ex-Gov. W’aterman
published a standing offer of ItO.ODO for a
half Interest In the mine, without Investi
gation. to he paid to any one who found
It. llut mine, machinery, buildings and
dumps have disappeared utterly, nor was
the miner employed by Lee ever heard of
again. It Is generally believed that when
the old shaft Is relocated the skeleton of
the miner will be found at Ihe bottom,
one of those accidents tha constantly hap
pen under ground having killed or crip
pled him in Lee’s absence.
Then there Is the old mine back from
the Pot hole* In San Diego county that
was worked by the Spaniards a century
nnd more ago. When the Indians arose
and killed their taskmasters they tilled In
the shaft and obliterated the trail, but
they know where It is to this flay. A few
years ago n Yuma agreed to show the
spot to Dr. De Courcey or Yum.i, but on
the Journey he became frightened and
turned back. There I* also n mire In the
Glia Range that an Indian started to un
cover to a white man recently, but he,
too, yielded to his superstition on the rowd
And could not be Induced to go on.
