How the Dean Pint Came.
People iu Raleigh, at least, will re
mom bar with pleasure the eloquent dis
courses here some time ago of Dean
Hart of Denver the clergyman with
an Irish face oud an English voice. He
had the eloquence of one and the ro
bustness of the other. This robustness
is not confined to his sincere treatment
and simplicity. It is in the man where,
after all, eloquence resides. Here is an
interesting story told me by a promi
nent gentleman in Raleigh who knows
something of the early life of the dean.
It was in Denver during the cowboy
and desperado days. There was a row
of barrooms they constituted about the
obief business houses along the narrow
streets cf the pioneer prairie town.
Dean Hart was them a young man, and
his foroe was making itself felt even
among these almost abandoned men.
The gamblers and drink house keepers
grew restive. Tbey could not stand any
shock of good deeds, but they had a
oertain kind of open handedness and
brutal frankness with all their wayward
babits of life. They gave the young
preacher so many days to get out oi
town. He refused to go and kept on
with bis work. Pluck is a pet quality
with these men, and the young man bad
it
One of the most desperate of the
dance ball keepers came to blm and
said: "Young man, 1 like yon because
yon are game. Come to my shanty to
night and preach, and no one shall
barm a hair of yonr bead. " The young
man was there, and bis audience I A
clond of smoke and wide brimmed bats,
with pistols and knives in their belts.
The stage was crowded with the same
kind. Bnt the boss man and bis follow
ers kept their keen eyes primed for bosi
ness, and the young man proceeded. He
staid there. He bas been there ever
since. He bnilt at first a small church.
Ho is now dean of the Denver cathe

A Conspiracy That Remained Un
punished For a Quaxtor of a
Century.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQ
The recent trial In Marseilles, France,
of Jules Ducruix for an alleged assault
on his wife, Mnrie, led to the discovery
of the real perpetrators of n great
crime committed 25-care before and
to tho exoneration of an Innocent man.
The story of the trial, as told In a
French newspaper. Is dramatic.
Ducrnlx dealt In ship's stores and
was supposed to be In good circum
stances. Iu his defense lie sworo that
his wife assaulted hiui with a knife,
and he showed the unhealed wound
on his left arm, made by the weapon
when he endeavored to ward off what
might have otherwise been a deadly
blow. At this juncture lu the trial a
note was handed to the defendant's
counsel. With permission of the court,
he read the note, and asked to lie ex
cused for a minute or two. He fol
lowed to the corridor the man who bad
handed him the note and speedily re
turned. At bis request the woman
was recalled nud questioned by him as
follows:
"Where were you born, madume?"
"In Tarls, I believe."
"Were you ever In Poltou?"
"Never!"
"Were you ever In Brittany?"
"Never !"
"Did you ever know or see a man
named Jacques Saupier?"
"I uover did!"
"Were you never married to a man of
that name?"
"Never!"
"You Bwcar that yon were never mar
ried to one Jacques Saupier and never
saw or knew him?"
"I do so swear."
Counsel turned and, glancing round
the audience that filled tho courtroom,
be cried :
"Jacques Saupier!"
Amid deep silence and with all eyes
fixed upon him, a man was seen mov
ing forward from the outskirts of tho
crowd. He was tall, dark, clean
shaven, with a sloping forehead and
a receding chin.
"This way, Jacques Saupier!" coun
sel said, ond the stranger moved slow
ly forward, with his eyes fixed upon
the woman. Within three or four feet
of her M stood and looked at ber with
a steady, unflinching gaze. She crouch
ed and turned away her bend. Then
counsel questioned h6r.
"Do you know this man?"
"Yes, yes; 1 do."
"Is this Jacques 8auptcr?"
"Oh, yes, I believe so."
"Is bo your lawful husband?"
"Yes. yes! Oh. let me go!"
"What has become of your para
mour, Lacruse?"
"Ho la In prison for life-dead to me,
dead!"
"What bas this to do with the case?"
the court asked.
"This woman Is a criminal,' answer
ed the counsel, "and I ask you to de
tain ber on a charge of a double mur
der, committed 25 year, ago."
The complaint against Ducralx was
dismissed, and the woman wa banded
over to the poWce. Tbe narrative which
follow. I. gathered from a report of
tbe proceeding, already mentioned.
Marie Ilozan wa. tbe associate of a
thief, sometime called Crascras. but
whose real name wa. Lacruse. Early
In May. 1873, I Ji cruse and one Pa-cot
planned a robbery at Leronns, province
of Maine, where Pascot had once been
employed as a coachman. Marie ac
companied tbem. raAcot wa. arreted
and Lacruse flod and abandoned MarU
to ber fate. Six managed to cP
from the neighborhood and wandered
on. suffering from want and exposure,
until she reached Mortals In Brittany.
Sue continued on up one of tbe valley
until .be came upon a comfortable
homestead, where Bred Henri Saupier
with hla wlf and only oo- M. Saupier
owned some 20 acre, of land adjolnto

to get wort, was penniless ami starr
ing. Mme. Saupier took the young tramp
in, gave ber tbe meaus to wash her
self, provided ber with decent clothes
and treated her with the utmost kind
ness. The wretched outcast was soon
transformed Into a rosy faced, band
some, cheerful young woman. She
won her way Into the hearts of tbe old
people by ber handiness and diligence,
and it Was soon understood that she
was to stay and receive wages as a
domestic. Jacques began before long
to cast his eyes on Marie, and, as she
was well behaved and industrious, his
parents offered no objections. In Sep
tember of the same year, Jacques and
Marie were married and continued to
live at the homestead.
Within a month of the wedding, Ma
rie showed her .husband a letter, which
she said was from ber brother, an
nouncing bis arrival at Cherbourg.
"Oh. bow I should like to ace him!"
she exclaimed. "It Is years since I
last saw blm."
"Ask him to pay us a visit," tbe hus
band said, and so in a short time a
dark skinned, fairly good looking
young man arrived, whom Marie Intro
duced as ber brother, Louis Ilozan.
Marie embraced blm affectionately,
and for a week or more they were con
stantly together, Mme. Saupier reliev
ing ber daughter-in-law from much of
the household work to enable ber to
stroll around with her brother. At the
end of ten days Louis left, saying that
he must return to bis ship. On Dec. 1
Marie received a letter from him, say
ing that bis ship was ordered on a long
cruise and that be Intended to visit ber
once more before he sailed. On Dec.
15, Jacques Informed bis wife that a
man in sailor garb had met blm and
told blm that Louts had met with an
accident and was detained" at Morlalx
and wonted his sister to come and
nurse blm; Marie aald hatrshewag
not well enough to undertake the task,
and urged ber husband to go and do
what he could to help her brother. He
readily consented and started for the
train at Morlalx the same evening.
The next morning. Dec. 10, sonic la
borers passing tbe Saupier homestead
Hiintrlsed to find the place closed
and no one nbout, as usual. Looking
around, they saw the band of a woman
ivnvlnit t nn ouen window. The men
entered the garden and found the front
door open. They went in ana ueani
groans proceeding from a room up
stairs. Ascending, they entered the
apartment from which the groans pro
ruml.wl nnd found Marie lvlnc on a bed
close to the window. She wns gagged,
and her feet and lert ftrin were uouna
to the lied. The right arm she bad ap
parently got partially at lllerty. The
men released her, and she exclaimed:
"They've murdered M. Saupier and
his wife!"
Then she went off hi a faint. Tbe
laborers found In an adjoining room
Saupier nnd bis wife lying on tbe bed,
ruthlessly hacked to nieces, the ax
which had done the foul deed lying on
tho floor. While thev were gazing on
tbe dreadful scene Mario entered and
In a frenzied manner asked:
"Have they murdered my brother
too?"
Mnrlo nccomuanled the men while
they searched around. Tho strong box
In which tlic old man kept a consider
ate sum of money waa open, the key
being In tbe lock. Everything of value
was gone. While tho search wa. going
on a knocking was heard, procoedlug.as
It was found, from the stable.
'Oh, that must bo my brother!" Ma
rie said. "The murderers must have

The stable was found locked, but Ma
rie discovered the key lying on tbe
ground a few feet away. The door

effusion, saying:
"Oh. my dear brother, I was afraid
they had killed you too!"
"I beard j ou scream, no sain, - ana

couch In tbe kitchen, you know. When
I reached your room, 1 saw two men
gagging you, and one of tbem with a

In the act of setting op to aec what

" 'I'r. settled the old folks, and tuat a
U I care for.'
"'I'm sure It wa. Jacques,' Louis
added, for In tbe struggle I tore off
tbe tall of hi. coat, and bere It la.' "
Tbe story told by Jacque. Saupier on
tbe trial of Marie presented a very
different condition of things, Jacque.

"What was that?"
"It came from tbe pantry," Marie
said.
"Then bere goes for it, whatever It
may be," said Louis as be raised bis
pistol.
"For the good Lord', sake, don't
Ore," Jacques cried, coming from bis
biding place.
It was the turn of Louis and Marie
to be astonished, but both soon recov
ered tbelr composure, for they bad
been together In as bad a fix before
and more than once.
"Look here," Louis muttered savage
ly, "we want no spies upon us. . Say
your prayers, for In a minute you'll be
a dead man."
"Walt and, hear me," said Jacques.
Then be explained tbe cause of his un
expected return.
"Now we have you," Louis said.
"You, Jacques Saupier, bare murdered
your father and mother and robbed
tbem. You pretended you were going
to Morlalx to see me, because a mes
senger bad brought you word I was 111.
That messenger was your accomplice."
"My accomplice?"
"That's It exactly your accomplice
In this double murder. lie has escaped.
We have got you. After pretending
to start for Morlalx, you returned after
we Marie and I were fast asleep.
While you murdered the old man and
woman with an ax your accomplice
gagged and bound Mnrie. Then when
I was aroused and came up the stairs
your accomplice met me with a pistol
and drove me into the stable, oud you
locked me In, removing the key. Then
you were nbout to decamp with the
money when I came upon you and Bhot
you thus!"
lie raised the pistol. Jacques fell on
his knees and entreated Louis to spare
blm.
"On one condition," said- Louis. I
"Clear out, decamp, put yourself out
of the way forever; never return to
this place, leave France. Go straight
to Brest and find one Santeur, at the
Itcd Gantlet, on the quay, near the
custom bouse. Say 'I am the friend of
Crascas, who desires you to put me
across.' He will understand."
Louis opened tbe leather bag and
took out several goldplcccs and handed
tbem to Jacques.
"Here," be said, "this will pay your
fare. Never set foot In France again,
for if you do you will go to tbe guillo
tine, rtciuember, you twice robbed
your father before aud escaped. This
time you won't escape, unless you do
as 1 say."
Jacques was thunderstruck. As al
ready said, he was not over bright, and
to him the situation, as described by
Louis, waa overwhelming. He bad
robbed bis father before. It was well
known not only to people around, but
to tho police also. That would go far
to condemn blm. Still be hesitated.
"See." said Louis, "here Is a piece of
your coat which I tore off when I was
struggling with you."
Louis exhibited the rag; this settled
the case. Louis took tbe money and
departed. He found bla way to Brest,
discovered tbe man be wanted and was
landed at Jersey. Thence be wa. trans
ferred to a town on tbe south coast of
England. Later be came to this coun
try and then went to Hougkoug, where

THE JAIN8.
Ken and Woman of India Who Strive to
Conquer tho Lower Mature.
Besides Hindoo or Vedio metaphys
ics, there are systems in India not based
on the Veda, and Upanishads, and
therefore classed as heterodox by the
Vediata These are the Buddhist and
Jain systems. Much has been written
and spoken on Buddhism, bnt very little
on Jainism.
Jain (or, more properly speaking,
Jaina) means a follower of Jina, which
is a generio term applied to those per
sons (men and women) that have con
quered the lower nature passion,
hatred and tbe like and brought into
prominence the highest Tbe Jain phi
losophy, therefore, base, its doctrine on
tbe absolute necessity (for the realization
of truth) of conquering tbe lower na
ture. To the undeveloped or insufficient
ly developed observer, it ia tbe conquer
ing of the lower nature ; to tbe fully
developed, it is the realization of the
perfect
There lived many such Jinas in tbe
past, and many will doubtless yet be
born. Tbe philosophy of the Jainsthore
fore is not essentially founded etrWiy
particular writing or external revela
tion, but on tho unfoldment of spiritual
oonsolousness, tbe birthright of every
soul.
The Jain philosophy teaches that tbe
universe the totality of, realities ir
infinite in space and eternal in time,
bnt the same nniverse, considered from
tbe standpoint of tbe manifestations of
tbe different realities. Is finite in space
aud noneternal in time. Particular pert
of tbe universe have tbelr oyclio law ;
corresponding to the laws of evolutior j
and involution. At certain periods ar
bats, or great masters (saviors of man
kind), are bom, who, through love, sac
rifice of the lower nature (not-of the
reat self) and wisdom, teach tbe tru j
dootrine. Referring to tbat part or the
world known aa Bbarata-Kbandia (In
dia), tbe last arbat, Mabavira, wa
born 508 B. 0., in a town called Euu
dugrama, in tbe territory of Videha.
He lived 72 year, and reached moksha
(tbe perfect condition) in 620 B. C.
Tbe Jain philosophy also teaches tbat
each soul (atman) ia a separate Individ
uolity, uncreated and eternal in exist
ence; that each individual soul bas lived
from time without beginning in soma
embodied state, evolving from tbe low
er to the higher condition through tbs
law of karma, or cause and effect; that
so long as tbe karmas (foroes generated
in previous lives) have not been fully
worked out it has, after physical deatb,
to form another body, until through
evolutionary processes it unfolds its ab
solute parity. Its full perfection is then
manifested. This perfection of tbe indi
viduality ia tbe Jain Nirvana, or muk
tl. Tbe individnality is not merged into
anything, neither is it annihilated. Tbe
process of this development, or salva
tion, may be said simply to consist in
right realization, right knowledge aud
right life, the details of which are many.
Personality is changing every mo
ment The individuality is for every
moment tbe particular stage of nnfold
ment of tbe ego Itself uud is couto
quently the bearer of tbe sins 'and sor
rows, pleasures and enjoyments, cf
mundane lifo. In absolute perfection
this bearing nature is thrown off like a
busk, and tbe ego dwolls iu divine ud
eternal bliss. It is not destroyed, nor i
it merged into another ego or in a su
preme being, and if tbe question be
asked whether in this state of mukti
(deliverance) there is one ego or a plu
rality of ego 1 wonld answer iu the
words of tbe Jain master: "Tbat atmau
by which I experienced myself and my
ssaenoe through self realization that 1
m; neither masculine, feminino nor
neuter, neither one, two nor many. " j
TheVedanta metaphysics teuch that
salvation comes through knowledge (of
Brahman). It is not tbo potential tbat
through effort and conquest become, tbe
actual, and we are further taught tbat
tbat which is is real now. On the other
hand, Jainism teaches tbat from tb
ideal and transcendental standpoint yo
are Brahman, bot its eternality, tba
real mokti, come, from work and
knowledge together, not from one alone.
Through work and knowledge, Jalniim
says, tbe individual develops and no
fold the potential. Therefore tbe state
ment, "lam Brahman," would be in
terpreted by a Jain to mean I am Brah
man only inherently or in embryo; I
have tbe capacity or tbe actual possibil
ity of Brahman ; wbat I am implicitly
most become explicit There i. a vast
difference between tbe implicit and tbe
explicit Those who do not reoognis
tbi.diffcreno. would never make an at
tempt to become rational and free.

AN ISLAND IN THE JACK POT.
It Is Now Part of Minneapolis
and Is
Worth Many Fortaaea.
At one of the most interesting
games of poker over played in Min
neapolis Nicollet island was put in
tlie jack pot by a man who thought
he understood the game, but found
there were others who understood it
better.
Fifty-five years ago Pierre Botti
neau took up a claim on the spot
whore fit. PauInoWBtaHda A year
later he traded it for a horse and
cow, which he drove away into the
wilderness, never dreaming that the
land he had almost given away
would in a few years be the site of
a great city. For a small sum he
purchased a large portion of what is
now tho business part of Minneapo
lis nnd put ap t log cabin on a little
mound in tbe center of Nicollet is
land. Half a dozen of tbo old settlers,
Bottineau among them, bad a little
poker club. One evening tho stakes
kopt growing larger and larger, un
til every jackpot contained a small
fortune. Mr. Bottineau bad been
losing heavily, but at last was dealt
a hand upon which he hoped to re
gain his losses and win something
besides. lie was given four queens,
and, drawing one card, secured, an
ace, leaving four kings as the only
hand by which bis could bo beaten.
Ho thought ho saw one of the play
ers discard a king, and he considered
his bund invincible and pluyctl it ac
cordingly. Boon all but Bottiuouu
and tbo man opposite him dropped
their cards and retired to watch the
game. The table wns heaped with
money and the personul belongings
of tho two men. The flickering light
of tbo cundlo shone dimly on the
flushed faces us tbey watehed each
other warily out of the corners of
their eyes. All of Bottineau's pos
sessions lay on the tablo, ond it wns
his bet. He looked at bis bund cure
fully and then Raid that all he hud
left was Nicollet island, which he
would bet against t200. Tbe bet was
called, and Bottinouu laid down his
four queens with a smilo of triumph.
Amid adeud Hik'ilco his opponent
luid on the table face up four kings
nndntruy. It was so still you could
have beard thorn breathe. Then
Bottineau called for writing materi
als und iimdo out a deed to the is
land. From thut day ho never touch
ed a card or countenanced gambling
In any form.
After drifting around tbe country
he went to lied Luke Fulls and took
up a claim and remained there until
