FIRST WOMAN CITIZEN.

HER STURDY LADS AND CLEVER LASSES BECOME PROMINENT CITIZENS, j Known as the." Widow Ryan” Was a Clever Business Woman Short Sketch of Her Life and What Some of Her Children Accomplished. From the ATeir*. Indianapolis, Ind. Hundreds of thousands of men of foreign birth have taken ont papers declaring their citizenship in Indiana since that State was admitted intd the Union in 1816 without creating remark or comment. It was a different matter, however,- when along in tbe forties the -first woman of foreign birth applied for and received papers of citizenship. The “first woman citizen” was an Irish widow who settled in southern Indiana with her progeny of sturdy lads and clever lasses upon a farm which she had bought. She had taken out naturalization papers in order to manage her property to better advantage, and for the further purpose of starting her family as true Americans with a full understanding of the advantages and responsibilities of American citizenship. “The Widow Ryan,” as she was known in Daviess County, Indiana, was a great woman with a clever business head and left behind her those who grew to be worthy men and worthy women, and who have left their impress upon the State. One of these sons, James B. Ryan, became Treasurer of the State of Indiana, and a son-ii Maw, M. L. Brett, also held that high and honorable position. Another son was the late Lieut. Col. Richard J. Ryan, who was probably the most brilliant and gifted orator that Indiana ever produced, and who during the war for the Union served his country in the Thir-ty-fifth Indiana Volunteer infantry, better known as “the Irish Regiment.” Another son is Thomas F. Ryan, who is now 59 years old, and with a few inters vals of absence has been a resident of Indianapolis for forty-two years. Mr. Ryan has been an active business man all his life and has seen more than one fortune come and go in the vicissitudes of trade and sudden panic. In the'early fifties, smitten by the gold fever, he went by way of the Isthmus of Panama to California, and he has always retained the free-hearted, open and trusting confidence that distinguished the gallant pioneers of the golden State. He has been engaged in mining and trade operations in Oregon, Arizona and Montana. From May, 1885, until August, 1887, he was the government agent at the Seal Islands off the Alaska coast, a highly responsible position. '» “For ten years or more,” said Mr. Ryan, in conversation with a group of gentlemen at the Indianapolis Board of Trade, “I have been sensitive in my lower limbs to weather changes. If my legs had been filled with quicksilver I do not think they could have responded more quickly or more disagreeably to climatic conditions. “During the past two years this infirmity became much worse, and I began to be alarmed, fearing paralysis. My legs were cold and recently from my knees down were without sensation. I could walk only short distances and would even then experience great weariness. I became more and more alarmed. I naturally thought of paralysis or locomotor ataxia. The prospect was not pleasing. “I happened to meet my old friend Capt. C. F. Shepard, of this city. He was chanting the praises -of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and gave me his experience, telling me that he had been brought by using them from a bed where he lay helpless, his physician having declared him a hopeless victim of locomotor ataxia, and was now as active as any man of his age, not even requiring the use of a cane. Upon his recommendation I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. “I found positive relief, after taking a few doses. The numbness in my limbs disappeared as if by magic, and I can walk as far as I like at a good rapid gait and without weariness. This you may understand is a great boon to a man who has been of an active habit of life, and who still likes to depend to a great extent upon his legs to get around in the world. “The pills also drove the rheumatism out of my hip, for I have not been bothered with it since I began their use. I think I shall have to join Captain Shepard in his praises of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to tne blood and restore shattered nerves. These pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bnik) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

APPEAL IS REFUSED.

Ex-Banker Spalding’s Motion tor New Trial Is Denied. 1. ' Charles Warren Spalding, president and charged wrecker of the defunct Globe Savings Bank of Chicago, was sentenced by Judge Horton to the Joliet penitentiary under the provisions of the indeterminate imprisonment act. For the crime of embezzlement, of which the banker stands convicted, the extreme penalty is fifteen' years, which may be shortened three years by good time, and has always, after tie first year, the possibility of pardon by the prison commissioners. When Judge Horton had finished reading his opinion he asked the ex-banker if he had anything to say as to why sentence

CHAS. W. SPALDING.

should not be passed upon him. Spalding aToee and after standing fully a minute before the bar of justice saids “Your honor, a great injustice has been done me. lam proud of my business record in this city for the past thirty-three years. I yet maintain that not one cent of this money has ever been personal gain for me. I challenge any man in the city of Chicago or elsewhere to designate one instance when I did not honestly perform my duty. If you had permitted, Judge Horton, the testimony which twice acquitted me to be heard by the jury which sat before you in my last trial, I would have been freed on this charge as on the others* but you didn’t and I stand convicted of a terrible crime. I am not guilty, but humbly accept my sentence. That is all.” In arriving at his opinion Judge Horton cited many cases, and although it was set forth in Spalding’s last trial! that there was no intention on the part of the accused of appropriating the money to his own use, he held this was no excuse. The prisoner had admitted during the trial that he had deposited with the First National Bank Macoupin County bonds belonging to the University of Illinois as security for his own personal check. The court held that when Spalding, who was at this time treasurer of the University of Illinois, took these bonds he became debtor to the university for this amount. His failure to produce them when called upon mnde him an embezzler, and therefore subjected him to the full penalty of the law. Inasmuch as the money was secured on the bonds given as security, the embezzlement was plain to the court, and his decision was in accordance with the admission of Spalding himself.

ruined herself long before she met one of them. The husband betrayed, Guldensuppe murdered, Thom to be electrocuted. She lives. Guldcnsuppe was in the way of Thom, and the Nack woman had tired of him as well. Guldensuppe blacked the eye of Thom and kicked him downstairs. The Nack woman held out her arms and Thorn returned. He talked of queer things and revenge on the bath man. The woman lured Guldensuppe on June 25 to a cottage at Woodside which she and Thom had rented. Guldensuppe entered while the woman lingered in the yard. Thom killed him; and over his dead body Nack and Thom worked severing the parts. These were scattered in the river. The police found some of them. Clews to the murderers were few. Thom afterward talked to a barber, one Gotha. He told him what he had done, tbe deed of the Woodside cottage. Gotha kept silent for weeks. Then he spoke, and to the police. The Nack woman and Thom were arrested, the woman defying the police and never revealing her secret until ten days ago, when She told jt on the stand and accused Thom of the murder itself. Then Thom accused her of the crime under oath. He made a socalled confession. The jury did not believe him.

AS DECLARED BY ABDUL.

Turk Not Responsible for Pillage of •American Missions. The United States minister to Turkey, James B. Angell, has renewed the demand of the United States for an indemnity from the Turkish Government for the pillage of the American missions at Khartoum, Marash and Haskongj, Armenia. The porte denies any responsibility for the pillaging on the ground that the Government acted under the stress of unavoidable circumstances. Minister Angell, however, insists upon the Government’s responsibility, as Turkish troops and police participated in the outrages. Cawthra Mulock, the 13-year-old son of the postmaster general of Canada, is to receive the entire estate of his aunt. Mrs. Cawthra. Mrs. Cawthra was the wealthiest woman in Canada. She died a few days ago. By her will she left ax. estate of $4,000,000 and the handsomest residence in Toronto to the boy. The fire in the Smuggler mine at Aspen, Colo., remains unconquered, and it is now conceded that it will require weeks, and perhaps months, before it can be subdued. A new method of attack has bees decided upon.

I could not stand but a few moments at a time without! having that terrible bearing-down sensation. “ When I commenced taking Lydia E.
