Meanwhile Sheriff Reichel had Instructed Jailer Kushman to secure a carriage; and svhlle the conveyance was being hitched up llohson for the first time TALKED PREEI.T.

Reginnlng the conversation himself, he aid: '1 do not fear the coming Imprisonment, ami am glad In a way to, begin serv-Ing the sentence.

Hobson said: "I have been fairly successfut In life, but the one great mistake I made waa In supposing that I had many friends. Now I have discovered that I haven't as many aa I thought I had.

The leaaon I have learned kas been a bitter one. and only, tends to how that no one ran cVpend on any person except himself, his wife and parents." Hobson then began to weep, and for a few minutes waa let alone In his grief. He renewed his conversation oun afterward sjrhen Sheriff Reichel said: "Ueorge. did friends that were Indebted to you desert you. also?" "Yes," he promptly replied.

"Only a few Weeks ago I tore up due bills amounting to Jver S2.OI0 for money loaned. None of the many men whom I favored have ever called on tne tn my trouble or made any effort to id me or my family. "That they will do no good for me now la for I am now temporarily an outcast: but they, are welcome to the money If It will do them any good. I have had all I want of this so-called friendship business." Hobson would not reveal the names of any of the people whom be had favored, and (marked as tie walked away: "If some of my alleged friends bad aided tne when I sought them I would not be here mow." Tit Said Hobson Wheat Called on To Lear the JalL After Hobson had concluded talking IBaUiff Bowman announced that it was 7:13 O'clock and time to start. "AH right: I'm ready." said Hobson.

and putting on his coat be walked boldly out of the little reception room and Into the Jail office. There he was surrounded by 8hertff Reichel, Bailiff Bowman, Turnkey' Heine aind the day force of watchmen at the JalL All bade him good-by and wished him well. Hobson thanked Sheriff Reichel and Jailer Kushmaa for the kindness they had shown him while he waa in their charge, and then led the way up the step to tb carriage which waa waiting In front of the Jail. Hobson took a seat alongside of Bailiff Bowman, and Turnkey Heine rode with the driver. When th driver cracked hi whip ad turned hla team around Hobson glanced back and took farewell look at th Jail, as If to lire rt wttn in new umgiHii which he wss then on tb way.

Hobson was me at the depot by wife, who was accompanied by Mr. William Kelly, a brother-in-law ar.d chief deputy under Hobson In the clerk's ofllce. The trio conversed for a moment and then trok seats in the Midland train, which left the city at a a. m. for Columbus.

It was just 11:15 when the train rolled Into the L'ftioa l-iffH at the state capital. Hobson and party bad an uneventful ride to tbetr DltEiCED UKSTrWATJO. No one along the route seemed to aware that llobeon was on the tram, until the litUe village of Ul Sterling, In Madison County, waa rtflwhed. There, having been informed from some mysterious source that the noted prisoner was on trie large rowd had assembled to catch a glimpse of him. Hobson was fearful, ail the way, that people would CHnsresrate to see him, and he shunned the public gase whenever It was directed toward htm.

It was nut until Mt. Sterling was reached, however, that he manifested muon reel in a or annoyance. There he beard the people say: "That mm? That's Hobson! That's him on his way to the penitentiary!" From that time on Hole-son seemed to more fully realise the penally lie was to meet. He wss nervous and exeitable, noncommunicatlve, and not at all himself the remainder of the Journey. When he arrived at Columbus, however, he Mml to brace himself for the ordeal, and.

of all the prty. he waa In appearance 1 he eoolest Individual who stepped from the train. Th peculiar swinging carriage, which all who knew him will remember, never left him as he passed through the crowded corridors of the depot. He walked as unconcernedly as Hnv one could have done. At his side was llMllifT Bowen.

Mm. Hobson walked with Turnkey Heine. Instead of taking a carriage, the little party passed on through the hallways and over the front walk to High street went south to Spring. -and there turned toward the old CasU of Sorrows, where so many have found a haven of rest, perhaps, but a habitation of constant REMORSE ASD PISOnaCR. It is customary for.

prisoners coming te the penitentiary to take a carriage. If they have the money to hire one, for themselves and the officer who accompanies them, ftut Hobson seemed to prefer the walk. He told HalllfT Bowman that he wanted to quiet bis nerves by the exercise, and his wlhes were respected. Down past business houses and hotels, gszlng at unfamiliar faces, and elbowing through- a crowd of people who never dreamed who he waa. he passen.

It was a long, tiring waia irom ihe 1'nlon Iepot to the penitentiary under the burning sun, but the sa.1 little group did not seem to mind it. Indeed, their thoughts were elsewhere. The situation was su'h as to Impress one with a picture of a woman worse than a widow, and a borne desolated by the absence of the. one whose hand had bullded ita protecting roof, alth-ful to the end. the frail little wife of Hobson followed bla footsteps until the penitentiary was reached.

Hobson carried witn mm a pacaage. which contained several popular novels. Be ing of a literary turn of mind he expects to read them, and thus help to pass the time while In prison. His wife also carried a parcel. In It were a few articles of appare-i vh ih sne siinnoseo ner nusuKiiu wuui4 need during hla Incarceration.

A moment later ne went into tne guam- nuim.

ana was. lor tne nine, luiuiuun He lingered In the prison vest! buie. awaiting the action of the officials. It was to be observed that Hobson' arrival was no common event at the Institution. The officials seemed not a little roniusHi when they had to deal with him as a com mon criminal.

15 THE PEN. Arrival of the Kx-Clerk at the Biff tl loom State Prison. It was Just 11:35 o'clock when Hobson, accompanied by his wife. Bailiff Bowman and Turnkey Heine, entered the prison. On their way they suffered no annoyance from curiosity seekers or Idle spectators.

Not even a bootblack had trailed their skirts. In front of the Chittenden Hotel there waa an unusual scene tor a prisoner on nis way to the Penitentiary. Samuel J. Kinnear, ex-County Auditor, and the principal proprie tor of the Ooodal Hotel, at Columbus, walked out from a group of citizens and took hold of Ilobson's hand. He expressed his sympathy at the predicament which Hobson was In and told htm that he would see him at the prison In the near future.

Hobson seemed delighted by this little compliment to his bygone record. He told Mr. Kinnear that he was gratilled to know that. despite the downfall he had suffered, there were some friends in other parts or tne state who took the place of those in Cincinnati who should have, been standing at his side Just then. The officers allowed Hobson to talk with Mr.

Kinnear as long as he desired to, and then he walked along with them, turning the corner a moment later, toward the fateful gate of the Peni tentiary. Hobson stood around In the guard room for some time, awaiting the action of the officials. As stated before, they seemed to be somewhat confused by the arrival of one of their former political colleagues to begin a terra 01 riVX LONO TEARS IN PRISON. It was not until Warden Coffin himself arrived on the scene that Hobson was disposed of. The Warden was kind and deli cate in the part be waa to play In the scene o( sorrow.

Mrs. Hobson lingered near her husband. The officers were not yet relieved of their responsibility, and they stood around askance. Warden Coffin walked down the steps into the guard room, and told Hobson that ne was sorry to say it was necessary to go back behind the bars Into the tirinon. Hobson said he was ready, and two guards approached him.

He had been dreading the long wait, and before tne guards reached hlrn turned affectionately to his wife and lid in a husky voice: "I will see you again soon. Don't Brieve. dear. I should think they would lock me up and be done with it. I don't like this crowd gazing at me." 1 hen Hobson, looking at his wife, gave way to the first Indication of prostration hat ne bad betrayed.

The tears rolled down his cheeks as he threw his arm around her neck and kissed her good-by. It was a farewell that few people realize. It was the separation of a lover and his sweetheart. ne public aeatn of ail mat could be nest ed of a husband, the making of a widow and the beginning of a greater horror than her most beloved might suffer, perhaps, when the grim reaner would make him an eternal sacrifice of sin. IHITIAL STEPS To Being Enrolled Among; the Great Colony pf State Prisoner.

The Warden soon understood the situa tion, and told Mrs. Hobson that It would be well to retire Into the waiting room, where would Join her later on. Hobson wa conducted to a little Incloaur Immediately within the guard rooms, and surrounded with iron ban. There two guards stood htm up and searched him. even to th sweat-band within hla hat.

Whether or not they suspected that Toe had brought with him anything to use in an attempt to escape did not enter into the question. He was simply subjected to the same treatment that Is given all other prisoners. Warden Coffin, realising that Hobson would feet hi incarceration more keenly than the average convict, and knowing that be might now, when he was in the depths of disgrace, try to take hla life, as he did when he placed a revolver in his month while In Eden Park, told him to be brave. Hobson assured him that ha was not nearly as much affrighted aa many people would suppose, and that whatever had been his dread heretofore, he Intended to bear up until th end. Hobson did not falter.

He was as cool aa any convict ever received at the penitentiary, be he an embezzling bank cashier or a fraudulent state official. Th arrival of a Cincinnati banker, wbotrembld and quivered beneath th clank of chains when he wa received at the penitentiary, waa compared by -many of th old-time prison officiate to-day with that of Hobson. and all spoke of the cool manner la which he accepted the situation. He waa taken from th Uttle in closure adjoining th guard room to the prison hospital, where the ordinary prisoners rw subjected to a physical examination. In deference to hla personal popularity and hla former political standing, however, he waa not i subjected emtnexl lately to th regular routine which la the fate of other prisoner.

The decora tion were aa pretty and Impressive as any that had ever graced th interior of Pike's Opera House. Th sight of delegates men and women waa something worthy of an artist's subject. Then there were hundreds of visitors In the hall, who bad come from near and far to be present at the proceed ings of the convention.

They were all royally received at the dif ferent depots by local committees, and among those who waited upon them no one was more busy or more attentive than Mr. Kluesman, -of the Walnut Hills M. E. Church. From the depot the delegates were escorted to the large building next to the Methodist Book Concern, on West Fourth street, which haa been fitted up a headquarters for all those attending the convention.

Here each delegate and visitor was given a card, assigning quarters during hi stay.

The convention wa opened with the sing ing by the entire delegation of "Auf ihr Bundesglleder, followed by prayer and reading of the Scripture by Rev. D. F.

8. Nagler. who, aa President of th National League, presided. Credentials went hereupon presented to th Secretary of the convention. Prof.

I Mr. Ernst Nattkemper, of Terr Haute, hereupon, on invitation, delivered his address on th subect: "Our National Con vention; How May I Gain th Greatest Advantage From th Same?" i Mr. Nattkemper referred to th fact and privilege that this general convention of tb Epworth League waa being held on the historical grounds where 62 years ago stood the cradle of German Methodism and the father, th fonnder of German Methodism, th venerable Dr. Wm. Nut waa living today, and th delegates of the convention felt rejoiced at the prospects of seeing and welcoming him once more.

Tbe Epworth League had grown wonderfully. The societies now numbered not only hundreds, but thousands. Eloquently the speaker touched upon the motto of the league: "Eln-waerts, Aufwaerts, Vorwserts" "Inward. Upward, Forward." "Inward." with heart and soul, but not only of members, but to bring into the league outsiders. The general convention had many advantages.

It brought the delegates and Individual societies In touch with each other. Cincinnati Is our national headquarters, and here we feel, at home. And also "Upward," to bring souls to Christ. The National League may not be a paying Institution, but, even as Christ needed an ass to ride through Jerusalem, was there need in the church of God for such an organization. Lastly.

"For ward." To take pride in German Methodism. It is a privilege, an honor and an accomplishment to be able to express one's Ideas In two languages. Upon information of Rev. Dr. A.

J. Nast, son of the venerable founder of German Methodism, that hla father, who la at present at Lakeside, found himself too Indisposed and weak to undertake th Journey to Cincinnati and be present at the con vention, the following telegram was directed to be sent to him by Secretary Nuelsen: Jugend Bund Convention, 1,000 strong. ends greeting to the! Father of German Methodism. Are very sorry not to have you in our midst. God bless you.

A LETTER Received Yeecerday From Fanline Brown, Who Disappeared. Mrs. Brown, th mother bf Paallne Brown, the young stenographer who has been missing from her- home at 006 Rare street for nearly three weeks, stated last night that she had Just received a letter from her daughter, but she refused to state what were the contents of the missive or from what point it tied been mailed. In regard to the announcement that her daughter Pauline had been seen In Columbus Mrs. Brown said that the statement that she was seen a few days since Is erroneous.

It was on July l. over two weeks ago, that Miss Cora Kdhlbrandt aaw th girl In the depot at Columbus, Ohio. At least that Is what Mrs. Brown says Miss Kohlbrandt told her. The mothex was greatly worried and was fearful that some mlsfortuns hsd befallen her.

She says that with good health and her husband to assist ber Pauline should be well cared, for. but she wss chiefly worried over the strange alienee of me giri.

Gertie Fltzsimmons, the young girl who about three weeks ago ran away from her bom and married Milton Carr, a youth not much older than herself, returned to her horn yesterday and was taken In. Gertie has left ber young husband, and her parents will.

It Is claimed, have ber enter suit for an absolute divorce. This Is the very realistic ending of what was deemed rather romantic marriage. It will remembered by EMQCtnca readers that about three weeks ago the girt and young Carr ran away to Newport and were married, though Carr was forced to borrow money before he could pay the necessary marriage llcenss fee. Tbe affair created a decided sensation In the East End. where both are well known.

The bride's home is at f-' East Sixth street, and yesterday wheel it became known that she had returned there were all sorts of Inquiries going the rounds of the neighborhood to discover what had transpired to Induce her to abandon her husband. From what tbe oung girl told her mother, Mrs. Charles hott. she haa discovered that she marie a mistake In marrying so hurriedly. When she came back home and asked to be taken In.

she was refused house the at first, but her mother nnauy neienteo ana took her daughter back. A complete reconciliation waa effected and Carr cannot see his bride, as her mother has stipulated thst she shall never see him again. The girl says that she bas been living wrtn ner aunt In Newport ever since she and Carr were married. She aald that her husband had sV money and that she did not Intend to support him. She has promised to obey her parents In ths future.
