SKETCH OF CAREER
OF DEAD HUMORIST
Murk TW.iln’s death removes from
the International field of letters the
-ereator-of American Hterary humor,
and one of It* most distinguished
litterateurs.
‘With hi* passing the people of the
world—the militant and persuasive
doers of thinks alike—have lost a
gentle, sympathizing friend and fear
less champion. For almost 75 years
he lived, and for two-score he num
bered his admirers by figures that rivaI
the census of the enlightened world.
He drew his personal friends from
•very condition of life and held them
steadfastly by his engaging, whole
aomc personality and earnest under
standing.
Snatched from the obscurity of his
fntle birth by fickle fortune and
sred in the university of the world
1 become the master of wholesome
iKior, Mark Twain retained to the
it his delicate distinctions of light
and shade, giving to the world its
‘'dearest smiles and drawing from it Its
fflMM willing, sympathetic teara Fot
Withal his humor the public eye ha;
Mmi no happy life punctuated with
dtfeper sorrows. He had known
•very travail -of the soul, and few
there are whose.splrlt of sound bumm
'Would have survived so many on
‘MfiUghts of a whimsical and cruel fate
"Greatly Exaggerated.”

1 tnoaaage to an anxious world; "Rumor,

•Judge Daniel Grlnnan. of the Chan- •

rule for contempt against Attorney
.-Louis. u. Weadeaburg,. repraaeatUus
| George O. Tenney in the divorce suit

! day morning, when they will be given
opportunity to allow why they should
not be punished for having attempted
; to procure, according to the allega
tion, a false and Incriminating affidavit
! regarding Mr*. Tennev'a conduct.
The granting of the order by the
i judge followed an exciting scene, dur
' ing which Attorney* Koval 1 and Wen
t ilenhiirg were in imminent danger of -
■ a personal encounter, Mr. Wendenburg
declaring that his opponent's action
■ was nothing short of “infamous," and
I Mr. Rovull springing to his feet, shak
I ing his first In Mr. Wendenburg s face
and shouting:
“1 have warned you for the last time.
Another word, sir, and 1 will stand it
no longer. No man shall use such
1 words about me, and if you will not de
sist I propose to stop you, and you
will have to stand the consequences."
Werttienburg Not Disturbed.
Mr, Wendenburg replied that Ife
1 could take care of himself If Mr. Ko.vail
i could.
Mrs. Tenney * attorney In nn excited
i manner declared that he would not.
stand for another word, and squared
himself on his feet a* if ready for Mr. ,
Wendenburg to open his mouth,
j Several of the court officials iramc- ;
dlately came forward, however, while
Judge Grlnnan reminded both attor
neys that they were before the bar,:
anil that such conduct would no Ion- j
ger be tolerated; that they must pro
I ce«d with the rsM, and settle their
i difficulties eleswhsre
Col. Jo Lane btern appeared at the
: opening of the case, stating that ol
i the original *310 allowed Jdrs. Tenney,
as counsel fees. *106 remained. This,
by instruction of the court, waa turn
I ed over to Mr. Royall.
Mr. Royall then offered a number
of letters in evidence Intending to
show that Mr. Tenney had not been
faithful to his marriage contract,
while he filed also an affidavit sworn
to by Mrs. Tenney's daughter. Mrs.
Tillman Bunch, detailing how Mr.
Tenney had threatened to abandon
her mother without support unless
she agreed to his terms of separa
tion.
Three in Contempt Charge*,
j Reaching the formal charges which
the court had instructed him to file
against Mr. Wendenburg In writing.
| Mr. Royall declared that upon further
investigation he regarded the conouct
; of Mr. Tenney's lawyer all the more
i despicable, while he referred to Mr.
I Wendenburg’s defense as "long, ram
i btlng and incoherent."
He said that he had decided to ln
I elude Mr. Tenney, and his supposed
employe. Mr. William Pannlll. in Nor
folk. In the contempt charges, as they
had been primarily responsible, or
equally so, he believed, for the eon
jspiracy to ruin Mrs. Tenney's charac.
i ter. •
Mr. Wendenburg took the floor, ant,
in explanation of his connection with
I Goodenow Tyler, u hose affidavit was
filed several days ago, and. which pro
voked the contempt and conspiracy

noon from hemorrhage ul the brain.
The patient was known In Richmond,
and entered tne Hospital under the
name of Mlsa Morris.
More than a score of physicians
evinced an interest in the case and
were unanimous in the opinion that
It was l'ar above the ordinary In Its
special'features, the.re being every In
dication that the cerebral attack was
due to a high state of mental ten
don.
The >uung lady. It has been learn
ed, came to Richmond last November
from her home In West Virginia and
soon after her arrival procured em
ployment In.a Broad Btreet depart

obtained board and lodging at tne
home of Mrs. Bailie Peace; 2135 East
Venable street, where she gate the
name of Miss Holo Morris. Mrs. Peace
and her daughter. Miss Hods Peace,
became much attached to her on ac
count of her affectionate nature and
amiable trails of character, and i.
v. as not until after she was suddenly
stricken In their home last BaiurJay
morning that they learned that she
was married, and, from lerter.i in
her possession from her mother, had
u husband In West Virginia, who "(u
; using every endeavor to locate her.
Seeks Ugh ter Work.
A few weeks ago the young lady,
evidently laboring under some great
stress of mind and being somewhat
frail by nature, was compelled to give
! up her position at the department
store and to seek lighter employment
: She then procured a position in s
dress-making establishment on Wes!
Main street, near Monro* Park, bin
on last Saturday she remained ana}
from work.
When the cerebral attack overcanx
her several hours after breakfast. Pr
I Ben A. Hord was summoned, and h«
quickly realized the hopelessness ot
her condition, the attack rendering
her unconscious and also producing
paralysis of the left side of the body
Soon after the young woman was
j stricken a letter arrived from hei
mother, and this was opened, accord
ing to Mias Peace, so that the narn*
I and address of the latter might bt

In the course of the letter, accord
Mng to Miss Peace, the mother wrot<
that the husband of her daughter
whom she called leave, wa» adver
tislng In the newspapers for her an<
the mother advised her daughter t<
take no noth e of the advertisement:
J if she should happen to see any o:
j them.
Then it became clear to the youni
! woman's friends why she had chosei
jto be known by her maiden name It
Richmond and had shunned al
i reference to her past as much as pos
sible. They also understood why sh>
j frequently made remarks to this ef

Harboring the utmost animosity in
their tender young hearts against the
press of Richmond, their delicate sen
sibilities wounded to the quick, Mr.
Edward Fay—evidently he Is not
proud of his Hibernian ancestry, for
his loyal forbears from the “ould sod"
were content with Fahey—and Mr.
Richard Harris, those much-malign
ed and unjustly-treated gentlemen
who have made a business of steal
ing. pillaging, plundering and armtng
themselves to murder anyone wh
sought to thwart them in Their nets

After some adroit and

I lr.g to find two humble and contrtt*
1 desperadoes who had gotten oft lighf

Instead they found a duo of ex

i criminals, who. Instead of thanking
i their stars they were not sent up lor
j life for robbing the Richmond post
j office of |S#,l»5.64, cursed the fate*
and glowered at the newspaper men
In a fashion that left no doubt os to
what they would do with the Fifth
Commandment were not the strong
arm of the law laid heavily upon
them.
Only Grunt at Greeting.
"Oood morning,” saluted the . ..k
sentative of one of the papers, a

them the same high sign.
Two low grunts from the criminal*

were outside their cells and wet* In

I t(indent of the Evans Detective Agency,
of Chicago and former superintendent
of the bureau-of criminal Identification
in Washington.
Both Fay and Harris looked to b*
typical criminals. It was at ono*
apparent that the polished-looking,
handsome young man Fay, who had
stood In the United States Court on
several occasions commanding admi
ration, was. when unmasked and seen
in his true light, an East Side tough,
a consummate actor as well as artistic
! cracksman, and that Instead of being
