New York, March 24---Bearing a pame on his coffin plate under which he would never re cognized, it is said, that Joseph Lewis, better known as "Hungry Joe," was enrvied to the grave . last Thursday afternoon. The story is told of how, after suffering from Bright's disease for four or five weeks, the motorious confidence man died n an apartment house in this city last Monday. Known variously under the names of Joseph Lewis, George . Post, George Howard, Francis Al Va and others, the name undef which "Hungry Joe" was baptized he kept carefully guarded, and even his intimates never knew his family name. For a quarter of g century "Hungry Joe" was one of the most conspicuous figures in criminal life. He was known wherever the English language was spoken, but could take care of himself in the French or German capitals quite as easily. He was g man of wonderful polish, easily made friends of his victims, "and gpparently suc. ceed for many years in duping even the police, % When former Capt. Alexander Wil liame¢ was in command of the Tender. loin he ordered his men to keep 'Hun gry "Joe" and other comspicuous "hunco steerers" out of the district. He also told "Joe" to stay away from the distriet or he would have him locked up cvery time he was seen. "Joe" smiled, but the next day he was met hy Williams sunning hin- self in front of a Broadway theatre. When asked what he meant he said: "Well, every gentleman must take his constitutional, and no gentleman would walk cleewhere then in Broad way." Nothing has ever been learned . of "Hungry Joe's" birthplace or early life, but it was back in the sixties that he first began to make himself conspicuous in criminal life in New York. His schemes to get money were adroit and well executed, and but few whom he marked as victims ever escaped. Probably "Hungry Joe's" most no- table vietim was Gen, John A. Logan. The old soldidr was staying at the Fifth avenué hotel, when a sleek and oily tongued young stranger ingratia- todd himself into his favor. He was learnedly discussing questions of in- ternational importance when the hotel detective stepped up and warned the general that he was talking to the most remarkable confidence operator in the world, "Hungry Joe." Gen. Logan was visibly annoyed at the in terruption, and in his brusque man- ner told the detective to attend to his own busivess, as the man with whom. he was conversing was the son of one of his oldest frends. A fow minutes later 'Hungry Joe" cashed (len. Logan's order on the cashier of the hotel for 8500 and walked away smiling. The Tate jidye Noah Davie was also one of his early victims, and Charles Francis Adama fell into his net. An other conspicuous victim was Oscar Wilde. Oscar paid for his sequaint A Sluggish, ° Inactive Liver Brings Bilionsness, Indigestion and Most Painful Bodily Derangements w=The Wonderful Ourative Influ. enos of Dr. Chase's Kid- ney.Liver Pills.

Later be went to Capt. Williams and told his tale of woe, and said that while he probably could not regain his money he would like to get the notes. Williams sent for "Joe" and told him he would have to give up, and with good grace the confidence man did $0. "Phat is the first swell who has ever squealed on we," said "Joe.

Although many persons before and after the death of our Redeemer had suffered that cruel death, the words, "The crucifixion," have for ages borne but one meaning, It is not strange that in mediaeval times many tradi. tions gathered about" the story of the great sacrifice, and poets and painters have drawn inspiration from them, As the promise of the coming of a Saviour who should restore man to the bliss which he had forfeited, was of early date, so ancient legends said that the cross was of no common wood 'and of no recent growth. The following are two of thé many stories told concerning it : - An angel one day appeared to Lot, who had with prayers and tears he sought the forgiveness of heaven for his many sins, The divine messenger brought hin three cuttings of cypress, ordering him to plant them and wa- ter them every day id water from Told By the river Jordan. If fhey grew it should be a tokem of Mis forgiveness, if they die he might know that his prayers had been in vain. For a time they throve, but the powers of dark- ness were unwilling to love their vie tim. Returning late one evening from his journey to the river Jordan, -he was accosted by an evil spirit in the form of a beggar begging for drink, He gave it, but found his road lined with beggars, all besesching drink. When he reached home, the sacred wa- ter waa gone; but he received the eom- forting assurance that inasmuch as he had imperilled his awn safety that he might relieves the distress of others, the trees should henceforth grow with: out water. Thus love and charity se cured the growth of the instrument by which divine love completed its earth- ly work. Anothér story gives still an earlier date. The aged Adam, shrinking from the thought of death, in his last hours sent his son Seth to beg of the angels who guarded the gates of Eden thay he might be healed by the wondrous "oil of mercy" which was in their keeping. His prayer was in vain, but the arch- angel Michael was permitted to send him a branch of the tree of knowledge © ding that it should he planted and promising that when it should hear fruit, Adam should be restored to ife. i Time passed; the branch, with care ful tending, grew and flourished; but the promise, it would seem, was ignor- ed or forgotten, for when Solomon was building the temple it was cut down, with other trees of no special value, for building material. Same quality of the wood made it difficuls to work; it was thrown aside for a time, and later made a footbridge. The queen of Sheba was gifted with & species of second sight and one day, when about to pass over this bridge, her steps were arrested by a vision of her grucifixion: she told Solomon that whefi the person whom she had seen in her vision was suspended on that wood, the end of the world would come. The king was greatly alarmed, and hoping to avert, or at least to delay, the calamiwy, ordered the bridge to be taken up and the fated wood to be buried in the earth. A healing spring soon after bubbled up on the pa where it was buried. This was © Pool of Bethesda. The wood re- mained hidden there for many years, but re-appeared and floated on the wa- ter wn short time before it was taken for its destined work. In many old legends and supersti- tious fancies may be found some gorm of truth. Scripture tells the story of the first use made of the thirty pieces of silver, after Judas in an agony of remorse' had vefused to keep them. What became of them afterwards 7 Jt was said that the priests who refused to put them into the treasury, marked them that they wight not be mingled with common coin, and they are still going about the world carrying with them 'sorrow or treachery; yvet-such is man--they continue in At "ill-gotten gains * never a not entirely a figurative 'g Lich old Sancien may Bot believed, it is vely se by. som wha would not be verted Good ¢ da never & fair, sunny. the. day is not really a stormy part. of ib is E DAILY WHIG, WEDNESDAY.

Nothing is more comforting to Eng- Jand at present than the account of some protracted ; guerilla war which was eventually 'quelled. Englishmen contend they are doing as well 45 any: body could do in the South African war, and to prove their case they have been delving into history for cases similar to their own, where a few men have stood off many veers when the fighting took place in a wild and broken country. Of all the cas which have been dug up during 0) last year by the English newspapers, nope is more extrpordinary than that of the Kelly gang in Australia. F The Kelly gang consisted of less than a dozen men, hut managed to keep a large part of two Australian eplonies -- Victoria and New South Walks--in g state of such outlawry as might, not unreasonably, be dignified with the name of guerilla warfare, during the years 1879 and 1850. The leaders of the gang were the three Kelly brothers, she sons of a convict who had served his fifteen years in Tasmania for the crime of murder. His sons grew up to crime, hogin ning as horse thieves. They knew horses perfectly, and only stole the best, so that their buyers knew that a horse bought of a Kelly was sure to be a good one, and that it could be bought for cash at a big discount off its value,' In this way hali the horse demnlers of upper' Victoria became "fences" for the Kelly gang and hor- ses stolen by the Kellys were exported extensively to India for the = English cavalry regiments stationed there. I Finally the gang got reckless enongh to steal colts and hrood mares from the thoroughbred stud farms. That was too much for the. Austra- linns. Horse racing on the island continent is looked upon with even more reverence than in the mother isle, where the house of commons ad- journs to go to the Derby. An or ganized chase after the Kellys, which was really meant to catch them, was begun, Their hut was surrounded, and Ned Kelly, the oldest, was captured by two constables, who had got the drop on him, without resistance. He held them as Jong as Fossitile in his hut, 'in the hope that his mother and two brothers, who had gone to the nearest town (twelve miles away) in J the morning to get some salt and spper, would return. They had all three got something elke while in town, however, gnd when they woke up a couple of days later they heard that their Ned was lan guishing in a Melbourne jail, await ing trial. He got thrbe years. During the incarceration the younger hrothers, Danicl and George, quieted down somewhat for want of initiative, They did an occasional little job to keep their hand in, however, and on Ned's release he got home to find Dan was wanted. The men got a few of their friends who could ride, steal and shoot, and who were willing to do either or all of these things at any time, to join them, and the whole party took to the rough mountainous country on the borderland between Victoria and New South Wales. In that region a population has grown up, some of whom, though called "free selectors" and ostensibly farmers, were wlore inclined to live by "lifting" the sheep and eattle of the neighboring squatters than by honest labor, 'and among these people the Kelly gang of bushrangers, partly from motives of fear and partly from downright sympathy and self-interest, found aid and shelter, The Kellys had all the people in the country who would not submit to them terrorized. They were as the robber harons of the middle ages, and if they had lived 600 years ago they would undoubtedly be pointed to with pride to-day as distinguished ances: tors. 4 Once they captured McVerish, a town in: Victorig. Every male inhabitant was made a slave, and not a few of the female inhabitants availed then selves of the chance which was offered them to go back with the visitors to their mountain fastnesses, The bank was looted openly, £3,000 was ob- tained and the robbers singing rode THE NEW WOMAN.

The same performance was repeated later in Jelderie, a small town 300 miles away from McVerish, six months later. Four policemen who had come from Melbonrne and had lain hidden in Jelderie for over a week in order to trap the robbers when they should ride into town for a drinking bout were killed when the town was held up. The robbers happened to come on a spree of a different kind, and they killed the officers at long range before the latter could get near enough shoot accurately enough even scratch one of the gang. The news of this light was telegraph- ed to Melbourne and a special train was sent out with a picked body of fifty policemen to effect the robbers' capture, The Kellys resolved on desperate re. sistance instead of retreat. Ned Kelly said afterwards that if they had con seited to retreat back to their hills not fifty, nor 500 policemen from Mel- bourne could have captured them. But out of bravado the gang rode to Glenrowan, a little town on the railroad, before daylight one morning Arvived thefe. they compelled two plate-layers to tear up the track south of the town in the hope of wrecking the train, After the track was up the bandits went through the specialty, of capturing the town, and ordered all the inhabitants to get in to one hotel of the place "and hus tle." The gang improvished a breastworks of earth and street rubbish and left lust. one sentry to guard the hotel He guarded it, as not one of the wn fugees got out, and the one who tried was shot through the eves and instantly killed. In the meantime the police train approached. The officers were wary enough to stop before the torn up tracks, and then moved from all sides to surround the earthworks, which were themselves circular, The Kellys had decked themselves out in sheet iron as a protection against bullets. Their suits found afterwards to weigh ninety-sev en pounds apiece. Fach suit alvo was dented in many places. The police appeared with much cau: tion, but nevertheless Jost five men, before they too, found the necessity of throwing up surrounding earth works. The battle was kept up at 100 yards rabge from dawn until ten o'clock in the morning, when the roh- bers ordered the inhabitants of "the town, who had been confined in the hotel, to quit it. Firing was given up as they moved out, lest some innocent person suffer, After whe refugees had vacated the hotel, the robbers made a rush, and got in safely. At three in the afternoon the hotel was set on fire from an arrow similar to those used by the North American Indians, When Ned Kelly saw the hotel afire, he tried to get back into it. He was captured as he tried onee again to sneak through the lines in a cloud of smoke, The hotel burned to the ground, the three surviving oceup- ants, Bryne, Hart and Dan Kelly, re fusing to come ont. Their charred bodies were found af fer the building was burned up. Ned Kelly was taken to Melbourne, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged He did not even try to appeal his case--and went to the gallows with a smjle of contempt on his face. Duke Of Cambridge Is 83. London, March 26. The venerable duke of Cambridge to-day celebrated his eighty third birthday. His grace is the first member of the British royal family, at least in modern times, to attain that age, Queen Victoria, the duchess of Gloucester, and George 111 all attained the age of eighty-one, but died before attaining the age of eighty-two. The only ether member of the royal family who lived to be an octogenarian was the first duke of Cumberland, who succeeded William IV. as King of Hapover. He died in his eighty-first vear.
