An Abeudoned Mine,
Gordon McKay, whose death oc­
curred recently at his cottage in fash­
ionable Newport, was a notable figure
in the social and
business
world.
Although starting
in life compara­
tively poor, he ac­
cumulated millions
through bis inven­
tive genius.
Mc­
Kay was born in
Pittsfield,
Mass.,
in 1821. and on the
death of bis father
in 1S33, began to

study for the career of a civil en-
gineer. When 21 years old he had a
machine shop in his native town, He
studied machinery and his opportunity
came w hen the shoe stitching machine.
Invented by L. R. Blake, proved to be
an utter failure. He bought the patent
outright and perfected a machine
which has revolutionized the shoemak­
ing industry. This machine did away
with the little cobbler shops, with their
pegs and wax ends, and opened up big
factories. In a few year« every man
woman and child in America, wao
wore shoes, paid tribute to him, and
McKay gained millions.
McKay's partner was Robert H.
Mathes, a practical man of Inventive
genius. When the war broke out in
1801 they offered to the government,
something unheard of, machine made
shoes for the army. In less than ten
years it is estimated that more than
10,000.000 pairs of boots and shoes in
America had paid royalty to McKay
and hts companies. In 1878 he formed
the McKay Sewing Machine Associa­
tion. and in a series of lawsuits de­
feated all rivals, established his
patents and became the central power
In one of the greatest monopolies.
Gordon McKay married Miss Minnie
Treat, of Cambridge, many years
younger than himself. They lived to­
gether only a few years. There were
wo sous, who hare always been with
their mother. Mrs. KcKay final'? se-
•ured a divorce, and became the wife
<f Adolph A. von Bruenlng, an at-
ache of the German embassy at
Washington, and now charge d’affaires
>t the German legation to the Sultan
of Morocco. McKay, who had always
been attached to hie wife, sent her
iewels and other gifts on her wedding
day. and. it is said, gave her a check
for $100.000.
The Kaiser became
angered at such attention, and the
young man was in the background for
several years. Then, through family
influence In Germany, he was restored
to favor, after having returned to Mr.
McKay the money given his wife.
Mr. McKay did much good with his
money. He educated a number of
young women abroad in music, gave
generously to Harvard college and
founded a training college in Rhode
island for negroes, which college bears
the name of the McKay institute. He
was a good violinist and left a large
collection of musical instruments. It
is understood that the greater part of
his estate will go to Harvard Univer­
sity, including his large library. His
next to kin are Mrs. Dexter and Miss
Catherine Dexter, of Rovfon.
We cannot depend on the Ilouae of
Reptesentatlve* of the Uuited States
Congress for a great deal, but we cau
always trust It to supply a roll call
that is Interesting aud diverting read­
ing—uutll It becomes an old story, »ays
the New York Mail and Express. Why
is it that men of picturesque and even
remarkable cognomen» tend to drift
Into Congress, especially in the South
nnd West? Is It that the very nature
of their names seems to devolve upon
them the duty to render these names
illustrious? Perhaps It la.
The Fifty-eighth Congress is no ex­
ception to the rule. There are men
here whose numes ought to have made
them famous even if they had never
gone to Congrss or done anything else.
Not to speak of Prince Cupid Kalanla-
naole of Honolulu, whose name may be
the Hawaiian Smith for ail we know,
we have on this new roll of our coun­
try's fame the priceless name of the
Hon. Swanger Sherle.v of Kentucky,
that of lion. Phauor Brazeale of Louis­
iana nnd that of Hon. Justin I). Bow­
ersock of Kalitas. The Hon. Jefferson
Brick is now absent from the councils
of the nation, but the family Is ably
represented by the Hon. Abraham
Brick of Indiana.
There are others. Let us pick out a
few patronymic gems at random:
Thetua W. Sims, Tennessee.
Farish Carter Tate. Georgia.
Ollie James, Kentucky,
llalvor Steenerson, Minnesota.
Champ Clark, Missouri.
Jack Beall. Texas.
Carter Glass, Virginia.
Arsene P. Pujo. Louisiana.
The names of l’ou, Snook, Moon,
Dick, Crumpacker. Mudd. Skiles. Shull,
Snapp, Gooch. Licernash, Iiluttz, She­
lter and Spigbt continue to decorate
the roll. They surely were not born to
die. But why, may we ask, is the
name of "Bird" so popular among poli­
tician»? Tlie present House has ou its
list Adam Byrd of Mississippi and H.
Burd Cassell of Pennsylvania, and
have we not our own Bird S. Coler
and Asa Bird Gardiner always with
us?
Many a congressional surname of de­
cided commonplaceness is relieved
from that fate by the given name.
That of the Hon. Choice B. Kandell of
Texas is an instance, the Hon. Vespa­
sian Warner another and the Hon.
Ariosto Wiley another. But for the
most part the Congressmen were con­
demned by their parents to bear the
plain names of John. James, William,
Joseph and so on. These parents fail*
ed to realize that if a man couldn’t
get his name into the megaphone of
fame in any other way it might be
done for him with a quaint curious
and mouth-filling baptismal designa­
tion.
For five days recently Tom Morrow,
a miner of Joplin, Mo., was lost in
some disused chalutiers of au abandou-
ed mine. lie was crazy when he found
his way out and bls black batr bad
turned gray. Morrow Is a miner with
eccentricities, and a mouth ago be told
his wife he believed be could go under
the city of Joplin by following the
drifts of abandoned shafts.
She
thought it a wild dream of his and
paid no attention, but when be disap­
peared with the family lautern she
knew that he was carrying out the
idea suggested some time before. When
he had beeu absent a day or two she
became alarmed and his friends were
informed of his disappearance. They
were not anxious to enter the under­
ground path themselves and took no
steps to flud him. but waited for his
return.
Though a maniac when found. Mor­
row's reason is returning, and he has
some recollection of what occurred. It
seems that during the early part of his
journey he suddenly came upou a body
of men working. They did not see hliu
and he beat a retreat. At another time
he came to a shaft that descended
from the drift tn which he was walk­
ing. Although he was already many
feet beneath the surface of the earth
he descended still further into the
ground.
It was after going down Into these
deep drifts that he completely lost
his bearings. In vain he searched for
the shaft through which he had en­
tered the deep passageways. He failed
to flud an outlet to any of the drifts.
All of them ended abruptly In walls of
dirt and stone. How he ever escaped
from this underground tomb he does
not remember. It was while in these
passageways that his lantern failed
him. For four days he told the time
by striking matches and holding them
near the face of his watch. Then the
matches gave out aud he lost all reck­
oning of time.
It baffles his wife and friends to
know how he effected his escape from
the underground prison. They think
that perhaps after he had become de­
ranged an Instinct came to him which
directed him in the right course.
Morrow thinks that he covered a dis­
tance of many miles. He came out of
a eave a mile from the opening through
which he entered.

The wooden Indian.
That blood poison existed among the ancients has
been proven beyond question. It has been traced back
thousands of years, and is as old as the Pyramids. This
blighting curse has been handed down from nation to
nation and from individual to individual till it has
6pread to all parts of the world.
Contagious blood poison, as it is called in modern
times, begins with a small sore or ulcer through which
the virus enters the blood. This is followed by inflam­
mation and swelling of the glands of the groins, a red eruption breaks out
on the body, sores appear in the inouth and the throat becomes ulcerated, and
as the disease takes a deeper hold and the blood becomes more thoroughly
infected, the hair and eyebrows drop out, the skin is spotted with copper-col­
ored splotches, the bones and muscles ache, and it seems to the victim of
this monster scourge there is not a sound spot in the whole body.

ODDEST TRIBE IN THE WORLD.
Painful gaahton of Tattoalns In Vugns
Anions ths Woman.
The Ainu live in the moat primitive
manner possible. They have adopted
the dress of the Japanese, but the
bouses are very unlike any seen in
Japau. They are made of rice straw,
roofed with a thatching of reeds. How
the natives ever survive the winter is
difficult to understand. In the center
of the room is the fireplace, from
which the smoke floats out into the
room, at times becoming almost suffo­
cating.
An opening in the roof Is
supposed to serve as an outlet, but the
smoke does not always find It. Over
the fire hangs a huge iron kettle and
Into it are thrust all sorts of fish, ani­
mal and vegetable food, to be dished up
later In a sort of composite chowder.
Around two sides of the room is a
slightly raised platform, upon which
the whole family range themselves for
the night, without bedding of any sort
In summer and only a scanty supply
In winter.
As a race the Ainu are sturdy in ap­
pearance, but are peaceable and not
given to war, like the Japanese. The
marked feature of the men la a hairy
growth upon the entire body, like that
upon a wild animal. A creepy sensa­
tion takes posesssfon of one In look­
ing upon these walking, talking crea­
tures. so Intelligent and yet presenting
somewhat the outward appearance of
gigantic monkeys.
The women have the same large,
heavy features as the men. They are
generally disfigured by an ancient cus­
tom of tattooing a large portion of the
face around the mouth, the upper part
of which takes the form of mustache.
It signlfivs nothing whatever except
a badge of distinction for the race.
The process of tattooing is long and
painful. When a girl Is about twelve
years old the mother begins operations
on the lower lip and by degrees covers
the space of two Inches on each side
of the mouth. As the child grows this

and the concoction is applied to the
surface of the skin.
The lips are
