THE RALEIGH DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1897. : ! : ' . . IWIIEII1MS COWBOY MERCHANT INDIAN WIFE AND FAUNTLEROY PAPOOSE. Te Maa I Samuel Br ennui of Ohio His Wlft IndUa Woman. ta Full-Blooded Duoter of a Sioux Calef. The newest of new women, and yet one of the oldest. If the aborigines may be clawed as "old." was recently, seen on the streets of St. Louis. She was rpleudid specimen of womanhood, strik ir.gly handsome and superbly propor tioned, and was dressed in bloomers. although they differed in style and cut from any worn by the St. Louis bicy cle girls. She was an Indian woman. the full-blooded daughter of a chief of the Sioux tribe..one of the fiercest and most bloodthirsty bands which ever troubled the settlers of the west, and her dress was one of the most peculiar ever seen on the streets of a great city. A dark hat. of modern style, half hid a ouantlty of raven black hair on hei splendid had. and a long ulster of the most r-eent farhlon enveloped ner. oui lining her fine figure to advantage. But below this there flapped out as sh walked the most remarkable part of her drefs, and that which attracted the most attention, her bloomers. They were cut long and straight, like men's trousers, and were small at the bottom. ro that they were rather close about the ankles. These bloomers were or I lack silk, and the inner and outer s-ams were decorated with four or five riiux of bead a of various colors and worked in faunciful design. Flowers, snakes and animals ran up and down the side, and made the bloomers, or trousers, a thing to attract attention anywhere, and especially on so hand some a woman. Her complexion war. olive, like that of a Spanish girl, and clear: hr th'fks were rosy and her voice low. but her eyes were dark and piercing and seemed to look through me. Hut with all her fancitui aress and ht-r name of Ta!aconiua. she Is thi wife of one of the richest merchants of the creat southwest, and is on her way to Kurope. where she will doubtless be received by royalty. In direct contrast to this woman was one of her companions. Taller than she. with hair as light as her's was dark, and light blue eyes, his ruddy, sun burned face was partially shaded by the broad-brimmed sombrero, which was tipped to one side on his head. As he walked there was a swing to his gait that told of the easy gallop of the mustang, and everything in his man. ner bespoke the cowboy. His shirt, which was of expensive material, was made negligee fashion, and cut low at the neck, showing a powerful neck, tanned by the exposure of many suns on. the plain. His clothes, too. were of expens ive material, but the cut was a triti odd. Still they gave one the Impression that they were paid for. and that the man that wore them had his own opin ion as to how clothes should be made for him. as he was the man to weat them. He walked along, frequently squirting a stream of tobacco Juice through his white teeth and stroking his long blonde mustache. The man is worth 12:0.000. and is one of the most successful merchants in Texas. Between this strangely assorted pair walked a youngster, about 6 years old and his dress was as stylish as that of his companions was unconventional. A leather tarn o shanter was placed Jauntily on one side of his crown of golden curls and he wore a velvet coat of Fauntleroy pattern. His little feet were encased in swell patent leather boots, and above them, extending near ly to the hip. were leather leggings These were decorated somewhat after the manner of the bloomers which the woman leside him wore, but were not so noticeable because of the decoration as there were only two rows of beads and they were dark in color. The little fellow carried a cane, which he swung to and fro like a Fifth avenue dude vt th Indian woman Is his mother and he is the heir to $2:0.000 and Is going abroad to enjoy the ad vantages of foreign travel. ' . . - . mis group, nmur uj ui imikiu shouldered Texan, the handsome Indi an woman in bloomers and the'Faunt leroy" child, attracted much attention on the streets. A crowd followed them throuch Kighth street from Locust to Pine. whre they took a car for the. Union station, from where they left last night for the east on their way to Europe. The manner in which the couple met was unique. It was during the first month after the opening of Oklahoma that the Texan was going tnrougn mat territory and saw his present wife. He U in love with her at first sight, and a, month later. they were married. Sinet that time they have lived at Norton. Texas, where he is a dealer in agricul tural implements and farming tools. The man's name is Samuel Brennan. He was born In Dayton. Ohio, in IS.".;. and a year after the war closed went to New Orleans, working his way on a packet. He remained in the Crescent City until 1S76, when he went to Nor. ton. then only a settlement of a few houses on the bank of the Red river He located a claim there with' Charles Avery, a son of B. F. Avery,- the big plow manufacturer. At that -time all farming implements had to be brought from Houston and cost two or three times when they were w orth in northern markets. Avery and Brennan saw a chance for building up a business In Norton and they located a gen eral store there, some 2S0 miles north of Norton. Their investment proved a paying one. and Brennan in 1ST9 bought out Avery's interest in the firm. Since then he has conducted . the business himself. t In 175. while on a business trip in the north. Brennan met a young lady In Richmond. Va., who afterward be came his wife. She went to Texas, but died a year later, after giving birth to a ooy, 5a:nuei lirennan. Five years later Brennan was married to hl present wife. . Mrs. Brennan is about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. Her name was Talaconqua. but she changed it to Sarah when Mr. Brennan married her. He declares she is the best wife In the world, and their appearance would cer tainly indicate a loving couple. Mrs. Brennan told a St. Louis Globe Bvmocrat representative in remarkably clear English that while she supposed her daughters, if she ever had any must dress in more civilized fashion, she could never learn to wear skirts. She says she has never worn a corset In her life, and never will, and the healthful color In her cheeks speaXs well of her determination. Mr. Brennan says he .has made enough money to keep him and his family for the rest of their lives, and he Intends now to see the world. He says they always attract attention wherever they go, but 'he prefers to have his wife In good health, even If she does cling to some of the ways of her fathers. Lieutenant-Governor Reynolds. From the Union Republican. Our townsman, Lieut. Gov. Reynolds, has gained an enviable notoriety and a state-wide reputation within the last sixty days. He has made a most excel - lent presiding officer. Genial in manner and affable In dls - position, he, from the start, command. m. . m . 49 m m senators and gradually wrought his way Into their affections until his po IIHra! nemlei became as truly his per- sonal friends as his political associates could be. The cold conventionality oi the Senate rules gradually gave way, and were succeeded by practical busl- ness methods, that, applied to the en rolllne clerk's office, effected a genuine mfnr-m cHvlne Ymttfr HPi-vlee at a - . greatly reduced cost. If he could have ntriii Mrilor in th session at least J1.000, frittered away by Swinson the .Mnif TT,i.rht havo Ywn avr1 to the people. Lieut. Gov. Reynolds has a letter from Mr. W. P. Batchelor, clerk in the secretary of state's office, congratulat ing him on the manner in which the bills of the recent legislature have been enrolled. He says that the work has been done with less confusion, has been kept more closely up to date and shows fewer mistakes than has ever been the case within his recollection. Mr. Batchelor adds that he has stud led the problem of enrollment with great care and he really believes the system established under th law of 1S97 is the best that can be devised. SURPRISED THE "CALLERS." Mistake Made by a Green Servant Who Atlsunderatood In structions. From the Chicago Times Herald. They had been discussing that ever lasting servant problem, which can always be depended upon to furnish a topic for conversation when three or four women are gathered together. Kach had told of her experience with her "help," when one of them said: "My new housemaid is the greenest girl you ever. saw in your life. Her ig norance is a perpetual source of won der to me. The day after I got her I went out shoping and told her If any one called during my absence to tell them I- - was out and ask them their names. inese seemed very simple in structions, but I thought she would need them. "When I returned I asked her if any body had called. " 'Yes, mum. they did." she replied. " 4 Who were they?' " " 'They wouldn't tell their names,' she answered. "Wouldn't tell their names!" I ex claimed in surprise. " 'Yes, mum, but I think one of them said "bananas" and the other "rags.' "I demanded further particulars. " 'I tried to tell them you was out and ask their names. You hadn t been gone very long when one of them came It was the man who called bananas. I remembered what you said, mum, and I went after him and told him you was out. He asked me if I wanted any ba nanas, and I told him no, that you was out and asked what was his name. But he wouldn't tell me. It was the same with the other person who called. He called rags and only laughed at me when I ran after him. " CAUGHT IN THE BOOM. VOUian i Tiove owun cnuugn iu uci Away From Prosperity. From Judge. "Yes," he said as he cocked his feet up on the real estate dealer's desk and puffed the real estate dealers cigar, "oh, yes; they told me they would let me In on the ground floor; and they did ground that was sold to build a town on when it wouldnH raise pusley. They said if I would put my. money in the lots of the new town they were about to build that I couldn't help making $30,000. Just couldn't help it, they said, if I wanted to; bound to make $50,000 in spite of all . efforts to the contrary. I might try to avoid making it by running away, but that wouldn t do any good: anyway, I could fix It thatJ30,000 would simply stick to my clothes, and I, couldn't run fast enough to shake it loose." "You might have known they were deciving you," remarked the real es tate dealer commiseratingly. . "Rut I didn't know it. and I don't know it now," he contended. "Well, by Jove! you must be rank stupid." "No, I'm not. How should I know that 150,000 wouldn't stick to my clothes? How should I know that It didn't stick? By gravy! when I got out of the confounded thing they had my clothes, too." THIEVING HORSE. Purloins a Fur Robe tO Carpet His I fH As a country doctor, the horse is, of course, my constant companion, and I have been carried by him on my visi- I tations many thousand miles, yet I had I no special love for the animal, nor yet I any high appreciation of his intelli-I gence. until a short time ago, when something happened which changed my views, says a contributor to the Baltimore News. "On going out one morning to look after Major, I found that I had acci dentally left the chain down behind him. This circumstance he had taken - iuu HumttKc tuu.imu prui a pur- tion of the night in wandering about the bam. upsetting everything that rmild be utet and breaking Pvorvthinc U that could be broken.

Men and newspapers Who are now endeavoring to embitter the minds of the people against the United States Court are doing North Carolina very great damage. Judse SImonton has done iust what v I Via hart a Hcht in rtn Thp Statp of North Carolina Is a stockholder in the I North Carolina Railroad' throueh her proper officers she made a contract of lease, which is bindine and sacred. Here comes along a new Governor who thinks he sees a saat In the United States Senate at the end of an attempt to repudiate the State's action. He cares nothiner about an honest con tract; the reputation of his State, or the expense, as long as it costs him nothing. He is a born tyrant who has spent 25 years swinging the lash over the backs of shivering negroes and ser- vile whites in the city of Wilmingtoni He is undertaking the same role with the people of the State. He has the Raleigh News and Observer as his or gan, and thus tries to intimidate our people. Amidst the storm raised over the lease. Governor Russell is Dunish- ing the poor and unfortunate inmates of our charitable institutions by plac ing them in charge of vulgar, Ignorant partizans, who are to be rewarded for dirty work in and out of the legis lature The people should not allow them selves to be misled by false statements cumins iiuin uic vjuveuiui aim ma henchmen. Lawyers have rushed into print to talk About1 the lesral wrnnc committed by Judge Simonton. They only make conspicuous their urnorance of the questions involved in the case. The soverign state, they say, cannot' be sued. Nobody says it can be. The XI Amendment to-the Constitution of the Lnited States prohibits that. The proceedings in the United States Court against Governor Kussell are not in a suit against North Carolina. The immunity of a State from suit is abso- lute and unquanned. Hut there is a class of suits brought in the U. S. Courts against officers of the State, for an injunction . to prevent wrong and injury, or for a mandamus to enforce the performance of a plain legal duty which are not suits against the State within the meaning of the XI Amend- ment. Lawyers will find decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States sustaining this position in 9 Wheaton 738, and 140 U. S. R. 10. The suit by the Southern Railway Company is not a suit against the State in contemplation of the XI Amendment. Governor Russell and his coadjutors are doing the people great injury by holding them up to the coun try as attempting to nullify the laws and repudiate their contracts. This State wants to keep step in the for ward march of progress The command to move onward has been acquiesced in by all our people, notwithstanding the officers are not of our choosing. We should do nothing to keep our State back. North Carolina should, not be made a football by scheming politic ians of any party. The non-professional reader will get Q TfJT rmf rf Visv nAcitlnn Va Cfolo Gf North Carolina in the North Caro lina Kanroad -'lease matter m an ex tract from a United States Supreme Court decision in the case of the Uni ted States vs. The Planters' Bank. The opinion was delivered by the great Chief Justice John Marshall. The State of Georgia was a stock holder in the Planter's Bank. The de fense was that the State being a stock- I holder the suit was against the State and would not stand under the XI Amendment. Chief Justice Marshall said: "Suit against the Planters Bank of Georgia is no more a suit against the State of Georgia than against any other indi vidual corporation. The Plant ers' Bank of Georgia is not the State of Georgia, although the State holds; an interest in it. "It is, we. think, a sound principle, j that wnen a government becomes a partner in any trading company, It di vests itself, so far as it concerns the transactions of that company, of its sovereign character and takes that of a private citizen. As a member of a corporation, a government never exercises its soverignty. It acts merely as a corporation. The govern ment by becoming a corporator, lays down its soveringty so far as respects the transactions of the corporation. and exercises no power or privilege which is not derived from the charter." In the case In the 140 U. S. Reports, page 1, Associate Justice Lamar de livered the opinion of the court where it was held that the Governor and other State officers could be enjoined in me united states court. Chief Justice Marshall and Justice J. C. Q. Lamar could very well be re lied upon to deal as intelligetly and loyally with the government of States by injunction as Governor Russell or his "me toos.' Let the people condemn the . use of the lease question by Governor Russell for personal political purposes. If he s anxious to blaze his way into Butler's seat let him do it in some other way and not at the expense of the State treasury. - i This sudden spasm of fear on the Dart of Governor Russell about the invasion " I oi me oiaie oy eaerai authorities sounds queer, and shows how notional and variable he is how unreliable as AY0i,tfv Under date of Dec. 20, 1SSS, he wrote tv orm-T- -f v. -v- tsi I speaking of the political condition of line oouin. among otner tnings said the .-Uw"SSl SohnVrtt following: "The extreme remedy is for idmittVto thi tt 7:;"'" Vv " " 7rv.":"&: therefore they are no longer entitled to representation in Congress, and that they be remanded to the Territorial status which existed from their con quest in 1865 until ;their admission as States in 1S68 and 1S69.
