"To Oulda. those cracked. gray, lichen-covered walls.

had jstretched out into marble halls: she saw the white eloud part, and tbe goldon gates slowly opened and an angel bend down toward ber with extended arms. Tbe little peasant was frightened at tbe rapt gaze in Oulda's eyes: she knelt beside the cot, burled her face tbe faded folds of the coverlet, and prayed. She heard a whirring of wings: raising her head suddenly. sbe beheld a white, beautiful, Bhlmmerlng light cross the cot where Ouida lay, which disappeared quickly through the open window. The Blin set, throwing long dark shadows.

still the peasant knelt and prayed for the soul of Oulda, that bad winged Its flight to the Oreat Beyond. Life's struggle was over: all over, the brave, patient, unrewarded life has passed out forsver. So soon may we perish, whan friendships decay. And from love's shining circle. the gems drop away, When true hearts lis withered.

HiggliiB and the Senate committee on par- dons on Us calendar, for discussion tomorrow, refusing to take up Ihe question under suspension of rules and pass at onctt upon Ihe committee's recoinineuda tloti.

He Is supported not only la bis assertions that he wae uot the noted Western crook, but also that he was in Brooklyn on the night of the robbery, by a number of affidavits by Brooklya people. It Is declared thai an association New York has raised a substantial fuuti for the purpose of securing Brennan'e release, and that Barney Rellly, said to be a saloon kaeper at Albany, Is Interesting himself particularly lu tbe effort. Oo Orennao's aide -In bis application for pardon Is Associate Justice Charles H. Strarus of tba Superior Court, who at the time of Ilrennan's conviction was tbe prosecutlus attorney tor the state. Judge artis lakes the stand that When Bran-US ss sentenced, much of the weight of Ins punisbment was due to tbe apparent misconception that be was tbe well-kuown Milwaukee robber, with a reputation far too bad lo admll of escaping with a comparatively light sentence.

Governor Hlggins declared to-day that he and the pardons committee had considered the case solely on its merits and upon the new evidence that Brennau wa not "Milwaukee Red," as well as the affidavits from Brooklyn people that he was In that city on the night the rubhary was committed. When the committee's recommendation lor pardon came before the Senate yesterday for action on a motion by tbe chairman that it be considered under a suspension ot the rules, Senators Sanborn and Gardner, leaders of the Republican and Democrats, respectively, opposed any hasty action, maintaining that reports concerning the suit, for pardon had beef heard that rendered It obligatory upoe the Senate to take sufficient time to consider fully all tho circumstances of the case, While powerful' Influences were apparently behind tho movement, the Senators argued for a full and Impartial consideration of tb subject on tbe flour of the upper hranch of tho General Assembly, and the Senate finally voted to place the committee's recommendation oo tbe calendar for Thursday, It Is anticipated that thcrO will develop a controversy when the matter comes up for consideration to-morrow.

Sixth avenue and Garfield plaoe at 3 o'clock Mrs. Stll-tvell't (Laura Jean Llbbey) subject was "the Heart of Oulda'." In part It is as follows. Just as taken from the novelist's own "Of the thousands who read her hooks, ho few knew Oulda as she really was: how few read between the written line, the utter loneliness of ber life. Oulda's childhood was barren of all childish pleasures: her girlhood was be-Yett the.

Its truths and falsities. Despite the emptiness of those early years, she might have had a happy enough life of it, when the recognized bar genius by seeking the blossoming fruit of her marvellous brain, had not her, path been crossed, by that which brings into every womafl's life, the keenest joy, or the bitterest pain. man and his 7 Oh. what is love that all the worM Talus so mucn aoom iu Oh.

With all her genius. ber fame the homage of the multitude about her she could not bind to herself the affections she craved. The pretty face af' a brainless peasant lured her lover from her and the glowing roeeate light of her beautiful hopes suddenly in eternal darkness.

Bad It may be to be longincwitls a patience faint and weary. Zor a hope deferred and sadder still. to see It fade and fall: -Tet to grasp the thins we long with sorrow, sick, and dreary, THEN to find how it can fall us. is ths saddest palp of all! "As the nightingale who has bean blinded and blighted, sings the sweetest eo this romancer whose heart was riven poured forth to the world all the anguish and desolation of her life in the tender eloquent soul stirring pen pictures we love so well. It was a blessing to Oulda that she had this outlet to ber heart's pentrup longings and a Joy to the world which benefited by the won.

"Had this lover proven true to his vows '-the probabilities are that Oulda would have been recorded In history as onn ot tbe sweetest most lovable woman of her time.

"Fame's ladder was a-arlandad with roses, and laufel-ieaVes: She made the ascent i eageriy; mtie reckoning- the piercing of the cruel thorns now and then. as she grasped tbe though that longing in her heart for love never died out.

Ndf could tell, for nobody Why loVe was made to gladcum a few: And hearts that would forever he tie lone, and starved, the whole way through. "Oulda gained the pinnacle of her ambition: only to find as she reached Fame's top-most round, the fruits of the trees about her held not golden apples, but dead sea-trult which turned to ashes on her Hps. She poured forth all the rich treasure of her- heart upon the white soulless paper, but It had given back no answering throb of sympathy; and her heart had slowly clotted, as the heart of a flower does. when-the sunshine of Its existence has been clouded. "Ouida lived In the lime-light of favor until newer favorites dawned upon the public's horizon with a merrier quip, and a gayer style in decorating old, and time-worn Oulda found that the multitude was not prone to worship an Aging god: that the world's incense was laid only at the shrine of the young, -and beautiful.

There came a day when the over-strained brain began to lag, the weariness of tbe slow rolling years began to assert itself; the facile pen faltered; and the brilliant forays of imagination were overcast by lengthening shadows of a sun drawing towards Its setting. Then came a change; friends of a fleeting hour fell off, like leaves of autumn with the flrBt chill breath, until she stood alone, like some old, barren tree, a pitiful, but splendid wreck of bygone greatness with none so poor, to do her reverence, Atone she stood-alona that worn out word Bo Idly spoken, and so coldly heard. Yet, all that poets sing, and grief known, Of, hopes laid waste, knells In that wurd-Alone. "To the faithful dogs that followed her forth from the shelter of her roof, It did not matter If her gown was silk or of tattered cotton; If her face was seamed or tomely, if her pockets wers laden with gold, or empty. Alas! That her fellow creatures love should sink beneath the level of the faithful dogs, "Of one of these animals, she said toward the end: We are two travellers, Roger, and' I Roger's my dog; come here, you scamp, Jump for the ladles.

The rogue Is growing a little old: For years we've tramped through wind and weather And slept out doors when nights were cold; And ate. and drunk, and STARVED together. "Poor Hapless Oulda! This genius whom the world revere too late, know in her old age the want of a crust of bread; the want of a shelter beneath which to lay ber tired head. With her faltl il canine companion ahe laid down wltn the cold hard earth for a bud and the blue canopy of the starred gemmed heaven overhead. Ob! The pity of It! The sad pity of It! What then is Fame worth? Even in that hour, the fruits of her genius were being garnered by ruthless bands.

"Crowded playhouses resounded plaudits to the echo, with delight over thr children of her woven dreams, before the footlights. No craftsman was ever yet so clever, as to successfully Invent a lock to frustrate the ghouls from stealing from the storehouse of an author's- brain. That night under the cold, white, gleaming stars, Was the nlng of the fatal end: ambition fled; and hope died rut of her breast: tho chill struck down through her heart into ber soul, and then and there, Oulda's remaining days were numbered in tbe Angel's book on High. ber hopelessness, and desolation, April 23. .5:05 HIGH WATER.

Mary Rompel, 22 years old, a pretty and well dressod wotnsn of 455 Bleecker street, Rldgewood, created some excitement yesterday in the corridors of the Hall, Jamaica, Just outside of the Court of special Sessions. Mrs.

Rompel went to Jamaica Instead of Flushing to procure a warrant for the arrest 'Of her husband. She was told that she was not in the right place, whereupon she endeavored to force her way Into tba court, and falline to dn i became much excited. She Insisted unon I relating her marital woes, and denounced her husband vigorously. The officers failed to quiet her, and she became more bitter every moment, greatly disturbing the adjoining court. At last sbe fell Into a dead faint.

Ambulance Surgeon 'Llnson, of St. Mary's Hospital, was called for. He restored tbe woman to consciousness, and she left for Flushing. I i I IS TO THREE ABLE LAWYERS For Brooklyn Bank He Thanks Stafford, Swanstrom and David B. Hill.

NO PEACE WITH. HASBR0UCK. Brooklyn Co-Receiver Still Denouncing the Methods of His Colleague. A Statement. Receiver Charles Hlggins of the Brooklyn Bank gave out to-day at his residence, 101 Ninth avenue, this borough, a lengthy typewritten statement in which he congratulated the depositors of the bank upon the conclusion of the fight which has been waged to invalidate the contract with Churlaa A.

Dolaon, by which the deputy attorney general would have become counsel for the receivers. Mr. Hlggins In statement further more denies the Implication that he was reconciled to the action of Receiver Bruyu L. Hasbrouck In tho making or tho contract with Mr. Uolson.

Mr. Hig-gins in the statement pays high tribute to the services of Charles M. Stafford in securing tho elimination of Mr. Dolson as counsel, and bitterly assails Attorney General Jackson for his stand throughout the bank troubles. Mr.

Hlggins also characterizes as bad faith tho proposal of the appointment of such men as Judge Parker, Delancey Nlcoll or John B. Stanchfield as counsel, and reviews the various stages of the proceedings by which Mr. Swanstrom and Mr. Church were finally, confirmed as counsel to tho receivers. Former Governor Hill Is also praised for his efforts in conjunction with Mr.

Stafford to invalidate Mr. Dolson's appointment and finally to secure that of former Borough President J. Edward Swanstrom and former Surrogate James C. Church. Tho statement.

In part, follows: "Now that final has been reached on counsel for the receivers of the Brooklyn Bank on a contract which modal of moderation and efficiency, the public thanks of myself and other depositors of the Brooklyn Bank are clearly duo to Charles M. Stafford for the splendid and. Bucceaful fight that be has made for the depositors and for the co-receiver representing these depositors through tho last tew months of stress and through the courts of this stato, which fight has been crowned by tbe victory of the unanimous decision from the Judges of the Appellate Court at Albany, Invalidating the contract mad6 by my co-receiver with Charles A. Dolson, deputy attorney general, late of Buffalo. Elmlra, as counsel for both receivers against my will.

This decision, as Governor Hill has well said, has ecrtalnly 'cleared the legal and we might well add the moral atmosphere also. Never again In this state will an attorney general at tempt what ha-i bceen attempted by Mr. Jackson, and with so much of his characteristic ethical sang frold, use his high office not as a 'protector of the but as a wholesale employment agency for his friends and subordinates in connection with receiverships. "To the good work of Mr. Stafford and to his distinguished colleague.

Governor Hill, the people of Brooklyn and the state owe this great victory, and to both ol them our thanks are therefore heartily due. That Mr. Stafford has ever been my first choice and tho first choice of the depositors for counsel for the rccolvcrs' goes without saying, and that this should have been his reward, If reward we regard It. goes equally without saying. "The great delay and confusion In the affairs, of the receivership caused by Mr.

Hasbrouck's in attempting to appoint counsel contrary to law and under collusion with the attorney general or flea, sb has been already so strongly con- demned by the Appellate Court, has been as great a scandal as has ever occurred 'in the history of receiverships In this state, and this scandalous failure to properly agreo mutually on counsel, as required by law, was kept up for om; time In another form by the refusal to accept any of the candidates that suggested and the depositors committee approved as selected from well known, able and honorable members of the bar of Brooklyn, and under -a definite and reasonable fee agreed upon. of at once arriving at a mutual agrveniont on one of these candidates, Mr. Hasbrouck grossly trifled with the situation by suggesting names of Impossible outsiders, such as ex-Judge Parker. Delaney Nlcoll and John B. Stanchfield, with neither of whom was any arrangements made as to limitation of fees or knowledge obtained as to such limit.

Such suggestion was not, of course, made In good faith, but to trifle with a most serious situation, and it was not till tho depositors threatened to take action to remove Mr, Hasbrouck that any serlutis effort was given to arrivo at agreement on counsel; and jvhlle he continued to oppose Mr. Swanstrom as being the next choloe of myself and the depos Hora, Mr. Swanstrom, with great tact and generosity, at this point suggested a harmonizing solution of tho situation by offering to divide tho fees agreed on with any other Brooklyn lawyer, whom Mr. Hasbrouck might name, who would not be objectionable to Mr. Swanstrom and the other parties concerned, 1 in this way ox-Surrogato James C.

Church was selected by Mr Hasbrouck and Immediately agreed upon by myself and all concerned In the contract just signed and now approved by the court, which divides the maximum fee which I set of $14,000 per year between the two local counsel and thus makes a record for moderation In counsol fees which Is something unparalleled and unique in the somewhat unsavory hl3tory of receiverships in this state. "Having now, agreed on counsel, about which there never would have been auy serious delay or difficulty were It not for Mr. H.isbrouck's illegal attitude and acts, it is necessary that 1 here correct a strange statement that appeared In the Eagle ot last. Sunday that puts me in a false and dishonorable light in stating or implyiug that because we have finally agreed on counsel, 1 have also become entirely reconciled to Mr. Husbrouck and all his acts as co-rcceiver In this bank.

To this I will simply say here that were 1 to condone all the acts of Mr. Hasbrouck both myself in. dlvldually and the deposl rs of this bank collectively, without an apology of offer of amend or restitution from him, I would consider this a most distinctly craven and dishonorable thing on my part, and in a few days I may have something further to say on this point and on the nature and extent of these acts, which will prove to the public that I have not condoned and do not propose to condone such acts without at least due atonement.

Soutache balding. Mm Somebody Arrested "Gibson," Who Was KeDt Locked Ud. Owing to a Mix-up. "GIBSON" IDENTIFIES CAPTOR, But Officer McMurray Denies It Inspector to rind Out WhicH Policeman Is Lying. Police Inspector Holahan was In the Adams street court this morning with a stenographer to tuko down all that was said nlth case of "John Gibson," who is not John Gibson at but Gerald Fitzglbbon, resident In Wallabout street and victim of circumstances and police mendaclousness Fitzglbbon had the mistfortune to get tipsy on Sunday afternoon, and was arrested by a policeman of the Fulton streota station, not many doors from tho police Btatlon.

Ho says that the roan who took him In had a red mustache, aiid ho Identified Officer McMurray of the precinct In tho Adams street court this morning as tho mau. McMurrny had sworn to an affidavit in court that he had arrested Gibson, but when the name of Gibson was called last Monday another man uaracd Michael Hart appeared, and McMurray claimed him as his prisoner. Magistrate O'Reilly let Hon go on a suspension of sentence. Hart was not "Gibson" at all, but "Gibson" had been left in the cell and had to bo accounted for. So thu accommodating Policeman Kern, who had a prisoner tllera, who had been handed to him by policeman Kelly, another Fulton street officer, who did not want to come to court on his twelve nours on, appeared aud claimed "Gibson'' as his prisoner.

And "Gibson," or Fitzglbbon really, rcpudiutod Kern and said that the young man had never arrested him. Kern saltl so, too, and told Magistrate O'Reilly about the accommodation to Kelly. But Ktlly's prisoner, if tho Investigation of Inspector Holahan amounts to anything, was Hart, tbe man who was swiped by McMurray. Tue mix-up resulted In "Gibson" being sent to Jail until to-day, so that Inspector Holahan might find out tha facts. Holahan had McMurray, Kelly and Kern all in court, this morning, with a stenographer to listen to what they might havo to say and "Gibson" was brought out to look at them.

Kach repudiated tbe prisoner. Kelly Bald that the roan he arrested was Hart, and Kern declared that ho had arrestea no one, uui simply appeared in court to accommodate Kelly It was evident that somebody was lying, and It seemed to shock Magistrate O'llellly to think that a policeman would He officially. He did not know what to do with tho case. "Gibson" packed out McMurray unhesitatingly sb tha man who had arrested him the man with the red mustache, whom he had described so accurately wfien McMurray was not In court on Monday morning- I don't know what to do with this case said Magistrate O'Reilly, helpless-lv Is a man who has been arrested and 1 cannot find anybody who will say that he arrested him. Anl vet here In front of me, is an affidavit signed by Policeman McMurray, In which be charges that 'Gibson' was drunk on Fulton street and that he arrested him.

I cannot hold this man In Jail forevor because ths police are not tailing tbe truth." it "Give me a little while longer and I will summon the lieutenant who took this man In to court," pleaded Inspector Holahan. "I don't want to stsv In Jail any longer." said "Gibson." "I have a Job to go to next door to your house on Keap street. Judge, I know you." "I'm glad of that." commented the magistrate. "Nobody seems to know you." if this man knows me." the magistrate, after a while, "he will -ome back to see me So I' let him go until Fridav. when he will co-ne ba( to court and face tbe lieutenant." It Is likely that Inspector Holahan will have the three Jltcen up on charges and maybe a ut nr.nl -In the case.
