PASSING OF ONE-TIME RECALLS CAREER CHILD-WIFE OF CASSIUS I CLAY Strange Marriage of Aristocratic, Fire Eating Southern Abolition ist at Age of Ninety and Dora Richardson, the Thirteen-Year-Old Child of a Poor White Family, a Union' That Caused a Siege at Clay Mansion. Louisville, Ky. It is more than ten years now since the name of Gen. Cassius M. Clay figured in the day's dispatches from Kentucky.. We used to read of Jiim in 1903 as an old man with a bushy white mane in a state of siege at his family mansion near Richmond. Ky., with faithful retain ers, armed with guns, defending the Gen. Cassius M. Clay. besieged house- against attacks by process servers and the curious pub lic. The name Is only recalled to. mind now by the dispatch the other day announcing the death of Dora Richard son, the erstwhile child-wife of the aged warrior and statesman. ' It was one of the strangest ro mances in' history.' that strange affin ity between the old man, the aristo crat, kcholar, diplomat and soldier, the scion of one of the proudest lines in America and the little, untutored, unkempt girl of a poor white family. He was ninety, she was thirteen: He was old enough to be her great-grand father, yet he married her. v, It' was the old man's dream to take the untaught child, accustom her to the ways of culture educate her, make her a' fitting heir" for his tfame and estate. He-carried out his part of the plan, but the poor child . could never accustom herself to her un usual surroundings. After-she tired of the 'dolls and the other toys he bought her she pined for her own folks and, when" he saw' it was inevit able, V Gen. v . Clay yielded - gracefully, dowering her with some of the pre cious heirlooms, of the Clay family and giving her a house. The girl, in turn, having married Riley Brock, a youth of ' hr ' own station;, and age; nanled her ; first born ' Clay Brock. And now her little day of fame Is ended. Death has closed the. most unusual . romance of the' old Blue Grass state.; Finis is written. Gen. .Clay .was alii but forgotten prior to 1903, when his marriage to the slip of a ; girl brought v once more ' Into prominpnee the r, hero ) otmal departed age. Vow he'wlll recede into history. The events growing out of that mar riage, the beleaguered state - o( : his houae. the opposition V his , children, the' sensations that de eloped were but recrudescences of the old time bellicose nature of the man who fought .with- pen or .bowie knife or tongue with equal facility. It was because he was a fighting man that the marriage with the child wife and the reluctance to be ' interviewed on the subject attracted attention. Those were. the days when faithful servitors of the old aristocrat guarded every approach to White Hall, the manor house of his estate ? at Rich mond, Ky., with loaded guns; when the house itself was in a state of siege, guns bristling from its win dows and sentries keeping incessant watch. ; ' . - - That impertinent curiosity of the public regarding his private affairs Irritated the old fighter. The bitter ness that arose between the doughty old general and his kinsfolk -following his strange marriage aroused his animosity. He did not hesitate to fire on a couple of 'deputies who ap proached to serve a writ demanding furniture which belonged to his daughters. His Spartan spirit did not hesitate even, to threaten to fire at his own son, when the latter would have made peace. He was of an im placable nature. He was a fighting man born and bred and he died a fighting man, de nying entrance to a physician, with his trusty bowie knife near his pil low and his guns within reach. The body of the old man might decay; his spirit nothing ould quench. , A flood of memories comes'wlth the mention of the death pf the child wife of this 'fighting Kentucklan. memories that are now beginning to ' m Z?' ... :S::iI Dora Richardson, at Thirteen, When CM.. r - . m m t . one occame wue or ueneral Clay. harden into formal history with the passing from the stage of the men who recall : the "day when the name Clay was a name to conjure with; r In the hails of congress, in- the secret chambers , of diplomjy; on the bat tlefields: of the country: a Clay' has ever made his influence felt, -t- Ever since the country has been' a coun try there has been a Clay to . figure in its history.

And now the last of the family is, Eonethe' last- flehtlna mAtfihAf. for of the descendants of the general there has been none yet to break rntb print with bellicose threat enings. : - " To the old general It made little difference whether the fight were with drawn pens, with revolvers, broad swords, fists or guns. But perhaps he liked best ,the bowie knife. That was a Kentucky defense.; Old Colonel Bowie had devised It. The long, keen blade, a certain weapon in the hands of a strong man, It was the" common thing among those who " resorted to brute strength. No story of hunter or outlaw was , cdmplete in the old Nick Carter (lays without ..the bowie knife. It is obsolete now, but it was the weapon General Clay knew ; when his fingers gripped its hilt his own valor did the rest He once stood off a dozen men in a hand-to-hand con flict, ripping them to .ribbons with his bowie knife and a bowie knife it was that he : kept near him as long as breath remained In' hi3 body, in that last warm fight with death. A fight was natural for General Clay. He got his title for leading troops in the Mexican war. He used to say that no 'man could get political pre ferment in Kentucky without a mili tary title and that he went to war with that purpose In view. His Mexl- can campaigning - days he endured with distinttion. .' ' ; His main . fights, however; were in connection with slavery. " He was one of the few southern abolitionists. To what fortuitous circumstance we owe it that he went to Yale college to complete the studies he, -had begun in Transylvania college doesiot appear. But he went And when In New Eng land he was deeply moved by the speeches of that prophet of abolition, William Lloyd Garrison. Champion General Clay's Mansion.' of an unpopular cause. Garrison be came a hero to young Clay. It may have been because the great aboli tionist was with bravery putting up a losing fight that the Kentuckian, admired him. At all events when he went bacic among his Kentucky slave ' holding friends ' he went back an ardent abo litionist. Fearless espousal of that 4 cause lost him the re-election to the state legislature in 1841. In '44 he stumped the North with all the im petuosity of his fiery nature for the election of his father's cousin, Henry Clay, to the presidency. In a barricaded building, more re sembling an arsenal than a printing office, in the city of Lexington on Kentucky's slave soil he issued in 1845 The True American, openly advocat ing anti-slavery. 1 And all but forgotten was he, had it not been for his strange t marriage and his child wife, whose passing the other day revived memories. DECLARES DOGS SEE SPIRITS Miss Llnd Also Believes That All Ani mals Have Souls Comes to Fight Vivisection. v New York. You've got to . stop kicking my dog around." The lady is here to make you stop. Miss Louise Lind of Haeeby, cham pion of thet antl-viviseciionists, -of world-wide ame, arrived ' on the'Lu sitania from Liverpool.' Miss Lnd says that she Is far from being opposed to science but she Is . violently opposed to cutting up live dogs and other anV mals for the benefit of science. She says that it is not necessary. "Some years ago she iiad erected In Lon don a monument to The Little Brown Dog; the - Victim ot Vivisection." College students tore down the mon ument and. a few riots followed. But the champion of the little brown dog says that the monument served its purpose in directing attention to the sacrifice of live animals to science. Miss LJiid says that it was a visit to the Pasteur .institute in Paris which originated the crusade in aid of the dog and other "animals subjected to torture for science. She is on her way to , Washington to attend, the interna tional Anti-vivisection -I and" Animal Protection Congress. : V The friend of the canine is interest ed in "a number of women's move ments.' She is a suffragette, but does not believe in militancy, she says. Mil itancy, she believes, is as bad as vivi section. In Us .ay. - Miss Llnd is also a student of psy chic research. She, wac a friend of the late William T.Steaa, who went down on the - Titanic. She believes that dpgs andother animals have im mortal 'souls as; well as . human be ings..'; i; r; - "It Is Just as. reasonable," said the lady; "to admit that "animals have im mortal souls &s that we have. 1 be lieve that dogs may , see- spirits.' We often see exhibits of, a high order of intelligence in animals. How often, have you observed a dog lying at jour side suddenly , rise, with his hair bris tling and a strange look la his eyes!
