FIRST- TEXAS REPUBLIC

INTERESTING AMI ROMANTIC niT OF SCITIIWESTEUX HISTORY. The Count St. Dcni. Who in 1714 OrKanlifd the First Independent Government In North America. Caldwell (Texas) Letter In St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. - ' There Is much well-authenticated material for the historian In the minds of the old veterans of the bonier that will soon pass beyond the reach of all writers. Few people know anything of the very first settlements In Texas, and doubtless many will be astonished to learn that the business of creating republics In that country commenced nearly 203 years ago. There were filibusters who dreamed of carving out for themselves an empire in the great Southwest long before even Aaron Ilurr was born. Others in the ranks of the most careful readers of history will possibly be surprised to learn that the old San Antonio road, which Is one of the best known landmarks in the Southwest, was laid off and carefully mapped Just 1?2 years ago. It was at one time regarded as the longest highway in the world. It was longer than anv of the old Roman roads longer than the great military way that led from the grates of the Eternal City to Constantinople and the Asiatic provinces. The San Antonio road proper ran from San Augustine to San Antonio, and the long road extending south of the Al.-yno Mission across the Rio Grande to the City of Mexico, a distance of more than 1,000 miles, was also called the San Antonio road. It ras originally laid off 100 feet wide. It Is a road yet. This great road, over which Spanish viceroys and richly-laden caravans traveled over which countless thousands crowded their way to Texas battlefields for more than 100 years, was laid off by men who-were talking of republican Institutions bere the Ideas of Jefferson or the triumphs of Washington had ever entered the minds of the wildest dreamers. Spain and Franco both claimed the country.. rancfl based her claims on the discovery of La Salle. This great explorer, in searching for the mouth of the Mississippi sailed too far west, and finally landed on the shores of Matagorda bay. Jlere he built a fort and called It Fort St. Louis in honor of Louis XIV, of France. Realizing that he had made a mistake, La Salle, accompanied by a few followers, attempted to march across the country,, hoping to reach a French fort on the- ArKansas river, where he had instt acted De Font! to keep a small body of soldiers. He lost his life through the treachery of his own comrades, and it Is supposed that his bones repose somewhere on the shore of the Necijes river. Exaggerated reports concerning the rich country west of the Mississippi river, which bordered on the Oulf of Mexico, reached France. The soil was said to be the richest In the world, the climate was salubrious, like that of southern Spain, the mountains were full or gtld and silver, and the livers ran over golden sands. Amongst the hundreds of adventurous and warlike spirits that surrounded the throne of Louis XIV none listened to these stories with more eagerness than Count St. Denis. . He was a brave energetic and handsome youth, who had Inherited a great name and many heavilymortgaged estates. The opportunity which he eagerly sought to draw his sword and make an effort to fill his purse on the plains of the Rio Grande soon presented Itself. . READS LIKE- A ROMANCE. The bare cold facts of the story of this young man's adventures, 'unadorned by rounded periods, read so much like the dreams of a romancer that they would be rejected by all historians if they were not supported by Indubitable records. Count St, Dnls and a young Frenchman of equal rank of the name of Belisle were both violently in love with the same young lady. .Their rivalry ended in a quarrel which led to a duel. The antagonists met and fought a terrible battle with swords, which termfnated, as St. Denis supposed. In the death of his rival. He at once fled from France, and after a series of narrow escapes from arrest and death he finally landed in America and Joined the great Louisiana company. His countrymen received him with open arms and immediately offered him employment. All Spanish territory at that time north of the Rio Grande was ruled by a governor appointed by the Viceroy of Mexico. The Louisiana, company was anxious to possess the country, and tho authorities sent Count St. Denis at the head of a little army of less than one hundred men to plant the Hag of France upon the dorais of the Spanish forts and missions. He marched through a region of country that literally swarmed with hostile savatres and established .himself In northern Texas without ever firing a shot. He must have been an extraordinary young man. possessing many of the traits of a-leader, not the least among which were his masterly accomplishments as a diplomat, for he not only made an alliance offensive and defensive with the powerful warlike Natchez, but he soon won the friendship of tho Spanish settlers who lived In the territory. Intoxicated with his success, he boldly cut lcoso fiom the Louisiana company and set up a government of his own. This was in the year 1711. and it was the very first attempt to establish an Independent government ever made on the North American continent. It was a eurlu kind of a government. St. Denis was at the head of it under the modest title of Governor, and by the provisions of the Constitution, which he drafted himself, he powered In his limited realm Just about aa much power as the Autocrat of all the Russia. Leaving a trusted subaltern in command. St. Denis set out for the City of Mexico on a mission that has never been thoroughly understood. He either hoped through his shrewd powers of diplomacy to fret the Spanish Viceroy to recognize his government, or. falling in this, he expected to turn everything over to Spain and get himself appointed Governor of the territory. When he arrived at the Presidio San Juan, near the Rio Grande, the Governor received and enter?almd him in a most hospitable manner. The polished address and courtly military bearing of the bold young adventurer almost Instantly won the head of the old Governor, and at th same time the heart of his beautiful daughter. It was a case of mutual love at first sight. St. Denis almost forjjot the empire that he had been dreaming of. while enjoyinic the hospitality of St-ncr Viilesecas and basking in the smiles of Donna Maria. A FAITHFUL LOVER. There was another suitor for the hand of this young lady, and this was no less a personage than Governor Anaya, of Coahulla. This official no sooner heard of St. Denis and hid attention to Donna Maria than he ordered his arrest. St. Denis was loaded with chains and thrown Into the fortress or Monoclava. Donna Maria continued to assure the young man of her devotion, and of the friendship of her father. After St. Denis had been confined a month or mere his powerful rival appeared one fine day at tho door of his cell, followed by a file of his guards, and told St. Denis that if he would Instantly surrender all claims to the hand of Donna Maria that he would release him and give him letters that would assit him in the prosecution of his plans In the City of Mexico. St. Denis, with flashing eyes, scorned the offer, and his reply was worthy of one of the old knights of chivalry. "Tyrant, you may load me with chains, but so long as Donna Maria Awarded Highest HonorsWorld's Fz!j9 ID!KLr MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Crape Geam of Tartar Powder.

honors me with her love and confidence, so long shall that love and confidence be guarded as- my most sacred treasures. You may take from me my life, Senor, but you cannot take from me my honor." The tyrant ordered St. Denis to be treated as a common criminal, but when months had passed and the brave young Frenchman showed no signs of yielding, the wretch sent a courier bearing this cruel message to Donna Maria. "Marry me, and St. Denis shall ,be released; refuse and your lover shall surely die." The fearless young girl declined the tyrant's offer in emphatic terms, and at once applied to the Viceroy In the City of Mexico, telling him the story of their love. The Viceroy was moved by the piteous appeals of the beautiful girl, and he released St. Denis. As soon as St. Denis was liberated he married Donna Maria and resumed his journey to the City of Mexico. Here his pleasing address won all hearts. . The Viceroy offered him a position under the Spanish government, and gave him full authority to punish his enemy. St. Denis showed that magnanimity was numbered with hi3 many other fine traits of character, for he refused to make any trouble for the man who had so cruelly wronged him. After a short stay in the capital he returned to his government In northern Texas. HIS WORK IN TEXAS. It Is not known as "to what kind of authority was granted to him by the Spar.ish official In Mexico. He built a fort at Nacogdoches and laid off a city. He ordered the lands surveyed and granted titles to the settlers. He established trading posts at various points in the interior and rapidly accumulated a large fortune. .He possessed the happy faculty of making friends of every man who came In contact with him. He was called the "just chief" by the Indiana, and his fame for fair dealing was well established with all the tribes within reach of the capital. While in the height of his power two Indians one day came to his house and told him that they had seen a white man with a tribe of coast Indians who held him as a prisoner. St. Denis at once offered them a large sum of money if they would go and rescue the white man and bring him to Nacogdoches. The Indians went away, and in a few weeks they appeared at St. Denis's house with a

naked, half-starved human being who was besmeared with dirt and painted like an Indian, bt. Denis ordered a bath for the poor shivering creature, and sent a suit of his own clothes to the bathroom. When the man had been washed and clothed he appeared before his benefactor. St. Denis no sooner looked at him than he was struck dumb with amazement. The man was , lit lisle, whom St. Denis thought he killed with his sword in Paris. Bellsle was equally as much astonished. They were Frenchmen, and they instantly embraced each other and buried all past differences. Belisle's story was a short one, but full of sufferings. Ho had recovered from the wounds inflicted by the sword of St. Denis, and not long afterward he joined a colony of adventurers who sailed to join the Louisiana company at the mouth of the Mississippi. Like La Salle, they lost their way, and sailed too far west, lielisle, with two eomradfs, went ashore on the coast of Texas to enjoy a hunt. They pot lost, and the ship sailed away and left them. After wandering through the forests for many days Belisle's two comrades perished from hunger. lielisle fell In with some coast Indians, who treated him very cruelly. They stripped him of his clothing and would have tortured him to death with fire had not an old squaw Interfered In his favor. He had been a prisoner with the Indians for a long time. St. Denis gave Ballsle an office in his government, and put him In the way of making money. St. Denis was slain in battle with the Indians on the frontier of his country, and after his death the affairs of the colony fell Into disorder. At the time of St. Denis's death there were about three hundred white people who claimed the protection of his government, and they were nearly all In prosperous circumstances. Many of them had accumulated fortunes trading with the Indians, and St. Denis himself was said to have had in his possession more than 5100,000 In gold. Had he lived a few years longer he would have anticipated the work of Austin" and Houston, and firmly established a government In Texas that Mexico could not have overthrown one hundred years before the battle of San Jacinto was fought. He was a well-balanced man. and one born to command. No man ever thought of disobeying his orders. Enough. Is known of his extraordinary career to force us to the conclusion that he was the greatest man that ever attempted to establish. a government in Texas. There was no man in the government capable of succeeding him. and the colonists soon returned to the Louisiana possessions. The Natchez Indians furnished Donna Maria with a guard of honor that escorted her and her treasures to her "father's home at the Presidio San Juan on the shores of the Klo Grande. Thus ended the first dream of empire in northern Mexico. It was 100 years before this dream entered the brain of other ambitious spirits. It was a fatal dream that ruined Burr, and ended in tho death of Nolan, Long. Ed wards, Austin, Travis. Magee, Fannin and thousands of others who trod the pathway of glory which led to the battlefield and Mexican prisons. SUBSTITUTES FOR GLASS. Three Compositions Coming Into Use in Europe. Philadelphia Record. There are several substitutes for glass In use in Germany, tne cnlef among them be ing tectorium, fensterpappe and hornglas Tectorium. says the London Invention, con sists of a galvanized iron web covered with a gelatinous substance, and is translucent. but not transparent, it is described as a substance that can be bent without being broken, and is both tough and flexible. It is said not to be softened by the rays of the sun. is Insoluble and is not affected by severe cold. It is a poor conductor of heat and is well adapted for roofs on account of its extreme lightness. . When exposed to the sun It lojes its original yellowish color in time and becomes harder and more durable.- One advantage is that it can be easily repaired in case it is cut. does not break and Is well adapted ror factory win (lows, and skylights for hothouses, mar ket halls, verandas, transportable buildings and for roofing1. For ordinary hot beds and forcln houses, guch as ore used by most florists ana marKet gardeners, tnere is another and cheaper substitute for Klass in the 30-called fensterpappe. which Is a tough, strong ma nila paper, that may be stretched on large sashes or frames and aturatHl hv paintinsf the exposed surface with boiled linseed oil until it beccme translucent and imper vious to water. Light wooden frames forty Inches in width and of any desired length are provided -and covered with the paper, which is fastened by nailing at the edtres. and tbn painted with ordinary boiled lin seed oil until the paper is so saturated that the last coat of oil forms a smooth. glisteniner surface like varnish. As soon as dry th. frame is ready for use. It admits sufficient light for growing plants; does not require to be shaded In hot sunshine: is llcht. durable. secure aaralnst breakage by hall or ordinary accident and. taking everything into account, is said to be about one hundred times cheaper than glass. It Is largely used bv florists and market gardeners In the district of Frankfort, and their general verdict is stroncly In Its fa vor. althouph for handsome conservatories. skylights, etc.. It possesses less durability and none of tne neatness and elegance of tectorium.' Finally, there is a new product called horns'as. which has been recently patented and placed on the lierman market. Horn Kins resemrves tectorium in appearance. with he difference that it is thinner, and consequently lighter In weight, and the in soluble palatine with which the wire trauze is covered is whiter and more nearly trans parent than tectorium. although it may be colored red. green, blue or any other tint that may be desired for special purposes It is manufactured In two qualities, one be ing of heavier wire and with larger meshes than the other. The special - advantage claimed for hornglas is that it does not soften under sun heat, and Is. therefore. adapted to use In any climate without the danger or Incoming so soft and adhesive as to retain dust or dirt. Its uses and general characteristics are similar to those of tectorium. - Wanted n Porcelain Tab. Washington Post. "She was n sweet-lnnklntr voitrnr tvnrn i n but she was business all over, and there was that indefinable air about her that bespoke luxury and refinement." said the room clerk of a hotel in the uptown quar ter. "Her mother was alonjr. and the young lauy wanted me best suite in the house regardless of price. I wanted to secure such good patrons -and went in person to show them what I know to be as handsome apartments as'cnn h found nt th onnltni -great, spacious chambers, furnished fit for a nut-en. me young lauy iiKea tnem. and a bargain would have been instantly struck had she not chanced to take a peep at the tathroom. That bathroom is a gem Itself, with a brand new tub with metal sldea shining like a mirror. "Rut the tub was not to the young woman's liking, and she gave an exclamation of disappointment. I asked what the trouble was and she said: "I could not possibly think of using a metallic tub; haven't you any of porcelain?' I was sorry to Inform her that we hadn t, and she thereupon took her departure. "Her objection probably arose from the idea that the kind of tub she wanted was safer from microtis or some Imaginary enmy to health. It struck me as an overrefinement, but wealthy people are entitled to their fads as lonj aa they are willing to pay for them.0

CAREER OF HATFIELDS

3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ASOTIIEIt I1LOODV KILLING BY "OLD CAP," THE FAMOUS OUTLAW. Story of the Hntfleld-JIalloy Fend, Daring Which the 3lcCoy Were Frequently Butchered. Williamson (W. Va.) Letter, in New York Herald. For some time the people of Mingo and Logan counties feared that election day would pass off without the usual "gun plays" and blood, with which balloting hereabouts is usually leavened, and enlivened. Their fears were groundless. "Old Cap" Jlatfield came into Matewan on Tuesday last loaded for bear. He usually votes with a Winchester rifle. On this occasion ho used both the rifle and a breech-loading shotgun. After he had cast his ballot he began to cast bullets and buckshot in the direction of one Rutherford, the affections oi whose wife he had alienated some years ago. When the smoke cleared away It was seen that Rutherford was dead, that Henderson Chambers was lying on the ground mortally hurt, and that Hatfield and his twenty-year-old son were fleeing toward the mountains pursued hotly by a young nephew of Rutherford, who fired at every step. These Hatfields are not to be balked when they are out for blood. One of the bullets from young Rutherford's revolver stung "Old Cap" In his hard and bony thigh. It made him mad. He wheeled around, knelt down, and, taking careful aim. shot young Rutherford through the heart. Then maKlng a mental notch in his calloused brain for his third victim. "Old Cap" again lied for the woods, a marked man once more. He was captured, however, and is now under arrest. The Hatfield-McCoy feud originated before the breaking out of the civil war. Its immediate cause was the ownership of two bony and bristly mountain hogs. Over these hogs Anse Hatfield and itandolph McCoy had a disagreement. They went to law and Hatfield was beaten. The dispute was not settled by any means. All the relatives of the families took sides and the question was intensified. Shortly after the trial "Bill" Stayton. a nephew of Floyd Hatfield, a son o a witness in the case, was found dead with a bullet in his person. Two of the numerous McCoy boys were tried for the murder and acquitted. "OLD CAP" THE LEADER. Soon afterward Jonce Hatfield became enamoured of Rosanna McCoy and kidnaped her. Matters went along with an occasional death on either side until 1SS2, when the hottest kind of hostilities began. "Old Cap" Hatfield became the leader of the Hatfields. Election day is always the favorite time for a gun fight among the Virginia mountaineers. In 1SS2 there was an election In Pike county. In the early afternoon the Inevitable fight cropped out, this time between Ellison Hatfield and Talbert McCoy. When the spectators came out from behind the corner of the grocery store and from behind sundry trees from which they had been peeping, they found Ellison Hatfield lying on the ground dead. Several of the McCoys, including a thirteen-year-old boy, Randolph McCoy, were-arrested and confined in the log schoolhouse over night. Next day the sheriff started through the lonely mountain woods with the prisoners for the Pike county Jail. By this time the entire Hatfield clan had heard of the death of Ellison. They rallied immediately around "Anse." the patriarch, and "Old Cap," his son. They ambushed the sheriff, who had the McCoy prisoners in charge, and took matters into their own hands. The sheriff was released, but the McCoys weirj taken to a lonely log house in the mountains, where they were tied so tightly with ropes that their limbs were practically paralyzed. On the following- morning they were marched over the border into Kentucky, and tied in a kneeling position to some saplings near the margin of the boundary streams. There was no begging for mercy on the part of the McCoys. They knelt grimly, and sneeringly awaited their fate. Wall Hatfield stood In plain sight on the Virginia side of the river. "Are you ready?" he cried. "Yes," said "Old Cap" and Anse ard the other Hatfields. "Take arm. Fire!" There was a rattle of rifles nnn two of the McCoys fell limp on their ropes. They were Talbot and Farmer McCoy. The young boy, Randolph, had not been hurt. He wa3 there simply as a witness to the death of his brothers. This shows the utter disregard in which the Hatfields have ever held the law. The boy was mounted In front of Wall Hatfield and the party started back for their mountain haunts. THE BOY MUST DIE. On the way "Old Cap" suddenly called a halt. "That boy must die," said he. "Anse" sat silent, thereby consenting. Wall Hatfield raised his voice in the boy's behalf. Some of the other Hatfields did likewise. It was no use. "Anse," the patriarch, and "Old Cap" ruled things with an iron hand. So the boy was killed and left lying by the side of the road. Of course feeble attempts were made to capture the Hatfields. but without avail. Two years later Jeff McCoy was captured by the Hatfields and shot dead in the presence of his sister. It seemed to be evident that the Hatfields had fully determined upon the extermination of their enemies. No further murders took place, however, until 1S83. On New Year's night the -Hatfields. feelIns: dull for want of sometning to do, determined to pay another visit to the McCovs. Late at night the nouse of Randolph McCoy, the leader of the faction, was surrounded by a gang of Hatfields. In the house at the ttmo were Randolph McCoy and his wife, his son Calvin. thrte daughters (Allaphore. Addie and Fannie), Cora, the orphaned daughter of Talbot, and Melvln. the son of Rosanna McCoy. The Hatfields were headed by "Oid Can" and Jim Vance. They called cn the McCovs to surrender or have the house burned over their heads. The McCoys refused. Then the heroism of border women cropped out. The Hatfields built a fire against the house. Allaphore McCoy, a young woman twenty years old. hearu the crackling of the flames. She grabbed a churn full of milk and walked calmly out of the house to pour It over the flames. She was shot dead before she could accomplish her object. The lUht blared up and several H.'itfields became visible. Old man McCov shot Jones Hatfield. killing him instantly." Then he ran for the woods, escaping without injury. Calvin McCoy rushed . from the house and was shot through the brain. The other McCoys were not iniured. Throughout the entire feud "Old Cap" Hatfield has borne a charmed life. This latest outbreak was In Keeping with his former exploits. With two men shooting at him the old man kilh-d three persons? and escaped. Hatfield' is a very Intelligent man. all things considered, and is wonderfully shrewd as well. The feud of the McCoys was settled in 1ST.3 by the marriagre of a McCoy to a Hatfield, and there is but little danger that it will break out again. Since this time "Old Cap" has lived a quiet and peaceful life, and his last exploit has caused no end of surprise. 66 9S Breaks Up The Vial fits your pocket The Trice your pocketbook.
