A Mine Captain and Another Man Killed at Osceola. Marquette, Mich., June 11. A mine cap-tain and another man are reported killed yesterday by the striking miners at Osceola. Four hundred men are out. More serious trouble is feared. The Marquette rifles were ordered to be in readiness to report to the sheriff if further disturbances follow. A strike is also imminent at Calumet and Prela mine. FIRED INTO A CROWD. Locpkort, Ky., June 11. Sews from Tonawanda is to the effect that light police-men and the foreman of the Western lumber yard fired into a crowd of five hundred Striking lumber men advancing to prevent non-unio- n men from working. It is be-lieved several strikers were shot. The strikers then drove the non-unio- n men from the South Tonawanda lumber yard. The sheriff and posse have gone from here to the scene. THE CHICAGO STRIKE. Chicago, June 11. Officials and citizens are holding a meeting. The strikers are in session at South Tonawanda. and the sheriff and posse are patrolling ihe town. The streets are crowded with excited citizens The Kingsley officer shot in the abdomen is dying. THE KIRMESS. The Young Ladies' iuitar and Mandolin Club Scores a Success. It was Spanish night at the Kirmess last evening, and the feature was the appear-ance of the Young Ladies' Guitar and Mandolin club. The exquisite musicians charmed all and the fair musicians were ap-plauded to the echo. The Yum Tunis and Mikados gave a Japanese dance and were given a warm re-ception. The highland fling by Miss Bechtol and Master Sands took immensely with the audience, which, however, was rather light owing to the storm. XOEES. This is the last night of the Kirfhcss. Be sure and be there. Miss Lincoln and Miss Long did not ap-pear at the refreshment booth last evening, and Sain Park was also conspicuous by his absence. Will Ford managed to do a land office business without them, however. Joe Waldeu's defeat at the hands of the city council has evidently driven him to drink and despair. He was a stationary fixture at the lemonade stand last evening and drowned sorrow in deep draughts of acidulated water, always drinking to the health of the Frozen Railway. The voting does not seem to be very suc-cessful. This is American day at the Kirmess. The matinee this afternoon ought to draw a big audience. The programme is as fol-lows: (irand inarch, beginning promptly at 2 o'clock; flower dance by the children; Fisher hornpipe; Italian dance and selec-tions by the Young Ladies' Mandolin and Guitar club. Following is the programme for the even-ing: Firemen's drill at 7:30; grand march at S o'clock; Monie musk by the National booth; Bellamy dance; All the airs played throughout the evening will be national. WHO IS GUILTY? An Interesting Case in the Central Crim-inal Court at London. London, June 11. A most interesting case is on the docket of the central criminal court today. For over two years a young lady named Agnes Harrison has been the victim of a mysterrpus and relentless perse-cution. Sometimes for weeks at a time, and two or three times weekly, she has been the recipient of letters and postal cards of an abominable character. At other times tradesmen would receive orders for goods purporting to come from her and with pos-tal money orders enclosed. These orders when presented for payment would be found to be raised by the addition of figures. The best detectives of Scotland yard were put upon the case, but found themselves battled. About six weeks ago, however, the postma-ster- general received a letter from a young lady named Illingworth in which she said she had forced postoffiec orders, written libels upon postal cards, ordered goods of trades people by means of forged letters, and committed other offenses, and asked that she be not prosecuted upon her assur-ance that nothing of the kind should occur again. In explanation of her letter she said that one of her young gentleman friends was suspected of being the author of the letters and was upon the point of being openly accused, and that, bad as she. was, she did not propose to see him suf-fer for her wrong doing. Miss Illingworth, who proved to be the daughter of people in good standing and only IT years of age, was at once arrested. She claimed, however, that she was entirely innocent, that the let-ters had not come frym her, and that on the contrary she had been the victim of the same kind of persecution as Miss Harrison. The treasury authorities, however, claim that they hare a strong case against her and some of the leading experts on hand-writin- g will be summoned as witnesses by both the prosecution and the defense. the convention. When a vote was taken upon Cannon's minority report which was lost the associated press man must have con-cluded that its overwhelming defuat meant the expulsion of the Mormon delegates. As a matter of fact the straight outs and Liberals were both seated and both voted. echoes. Minneapolis, June 11. Only echoes of last night's hurrah for Harrison are heard today. Nearly everybody has departed for home or dropped politics. It is hoped among the leaders time will heal all wounds inflicted during the strife. The Blaine lead-ers generally are counselingharmony among their followers. Clarkson, the most prom-inent leader of the forces was one of the first to announce his devotion to the nominee and his belief they will be elected. The results show the lead-ers of the delegation could not lead at the critical stages and the delegates acted on their own responsibility. According to a statement issued from Ilar-Tiso- n headquarters the president had enough pledged votes on the day of the assembling of the convention to assure nomination, the total being 4.S0. The next night it was 511, and the following 521. So at no time were they in doubt as to the outcome. The exec-utive committee of the national republican league club today decided that the annual meeting of the league be held in Buffalo. Other competitors for the honor were Omaha, New York and Indianapolis. The day selected is September I. Bequests for the recognition of college republican league and the women's republican club movement was referred to a committee. What Warner Miller Says. Chicago, June 11. Warner Miller of New York, on his way from Min-neapolis said today: "No knives will be wielded in New York on election day. Republicans will support Harrison and loyally enthusiastically." Miller believes Har-rison is stronger in New York than in 1888 and Ried will greatly add to the strength of the ticket. London Papers Rejoice. London, June 11 The burden of com-ment of all the evening papers on the of Harrison and the selection of Whltelaw Re id as the republican candidate for vice president is joy over the defeat of Blaine. Depow Denies It. Minneapolis, June 11. Chauncey M. Depew denied to a reporter of the Associated Pres3 this morning that there was any foun-dation for the rumor, presenter prospective, that he is to succeed Blaine as secretary of state. Cleveland Has Nothing to Say. Boston, June 11. I have nothing to say about Harrison's re nomination said Cleveland this morning. Hlaine at Bar Harbor. Bar Harbob, June 11. James G. Blaine arrived this morning and drove directly to his summer residence. . m . FOR SECOND PLACE. rRESD of "The Tribune" Honored by the Ksrrablican Convention. HOW HARRISON RECEIVED THE NEWS. Salisbury Chosen lor National Committee-man A Telegraphic Mistake --Other Convention Aftermath. Minneapolis, Minn., June 11. The re-publican convention is a memory, and the delegates are hieing themselves homeward, all satisfied with the result which has placed Benjamin Harrison of Indiana and Hon. Whitelaw Reid, to France and editor of the New York Tribune, before the country as the candidates for president and vice-preside- of the United States. A short time before the convention was called to order last night, New York's seventy-t-wo delegates held a conference and unanimously agreed to place the name of Whitelaw Reid in nomination. At this in i cling a communication was received from Typographical union No. 0, of New Y'ork city, endorsing his candidacy in view of the adjustment of the dillerences between the union and the Tribune. The esson of 1SS4 has evidently not been forgotten by Reid. Senator O'Connor of New York, was re-cognized by the (hair when the evening session was called to order, and in a speech in which lie said that while New York had opposed Harrison's renoniination they fell it their duty to bow in submission to the judgment of the convention, he nominated Hon. White) aw Reid as a man who will ma-terially aid in keeping New York in the re-publican line. Hon. Horace Porter seconded Reid's nom-ination in a neat speech, following which Reed of Ma ne was placed in nomination, but the Maine delegation re-quested- that he be not voted for until his personal wishes could be consulted. Mr. Kearney of Iowa, moved the nomina-tion of Hon. Whitelaw Reid by acclamation and it was done amid great applause. Committee were appointed to wait upon the nominees and then the convention ad-journed nine (tie. the lights went out, and the band across the line in St. Paul played "An-nie Laurie." HARRISON RECEIVES THE NEWS. He Makes a Speech to the Newspaper Men and Telegraph Operator. Washington, D. C, June 11. There was considerable excitement at the AVhite House yesterday afternoon when the news wag re-ceived, .lohn Wanamaker, Secretary Elk-kin- Secretaries Rusk, Noble, Tracy and Attorney General Miller, Russell Harrison li:d Lieutenant Parker and a lot of news-paper men sat in the room where an instru-ment aita lied to a special wire clicked off Ihe information. When the result was announced the oper-ator's hand trembled so that he could not write and he cried out, "Mr. Harrison is re-no- m " and that was as far as he could get. Secretary Halford started for the President's room amid cries of "Good! Good!" from Wanamaker but Burt Tibbet, Harrison's stenographer, was too quick for hinl and when 'Lige reached the door Harrison was imiling. A rush was made for the room and everybody shook hands while shortly after Mrs.McKee, Mrs. Dimmick and Mrs. Parker came in and congratulated Mr. Harrison upon the result. Mr. Harris. spoke as follows after a mo-- ' mcnt of hesitation: "I can only say with reference to this vent that the first thought that fills my mind is one of gratitude and thanks to the great multitude of friends who have in this way and divers other ways expressed their approval of my very conscientious though possibly now and then mistaken attempt to serve the country upon the republican line. I claim no other credit than that of having attempted, without sparing myself, to dis-charge public duties conscientiously. Ican-no- t expect my democratic friends to think on right lines, and yet it is very gratifying to me to know many things secured the ap-proval of my political opponents. "In entering upon the campaign I shall do o with malice toward none. I think I have sometimes been suspected of being very lit-tle of a politician from the fact that I have never drawn inside my party personal lines. I have tried to treat everyone with the re-spect their station is .entitled and I have never in any case suggested, much less de-mand! d, personal loyalty from any one. I have asked from all public office! faithful performance of duties. As I have had life and strength I have tried to discharge my duties for the public good." SALISI51RY SKLECTKD. He is the Next National Committeeman From 1 tali. Rumors regarding the selection of the the national republican committeeman were rife at the hour of going to press with the last edition yesterday. It was given out that Charles S. Varian had been chosen, and liberal republicans were corrcspondingly happy. Then would come a report to the effect that Arthur Brown was the party eelected, and the straight-out- s would shriek In glee. It appears, however, that neither of these was selected. Immediately after the con-vention the liberals served notice that they would never agree to the selection of Brown, but would compromise cheerfully upon O. J. Salisbury, and at the evening session he was agreed upon. Judge Goodwin is reported by his own paper as 6aying that this resuit at least secures a gentleman for national commit-teeman. He is quoted as declaring the fight a stand-off- . More C onfrratnlations. Washington, June 11. Fred N. Dow of Portland, Me., telegraphed the Portland club, of which James G. Blaine and Thomas B. Reed are members, at 0 o'clock this morning to throw out the campaign banner bearing the names: Harrison and Reid. Wasiiivotox, June 11. It is compara-tively quiet at the White house today after the excitement of yesterday. Hundreds of teiegrams were received. Senator Stanford! at London telegraphed: "T congratulate y ou and the country on its recognition and appreciation of the administration which has been without reproach." Minister Coolidge at Paris cabled: "My warmest congratulation in which members of this j legation join most heartily." Among others who congratulated were J. A. Wagmire, California; H. C. Osborne' Los Angeles and Carnegie from Scotland, Senator Spooner from Minneapolis, Henry C. Bowen, New York : Minister Cow, Copenhagen; McMillan from London; General D. H. Hastiugs, Killarney. Augury of Victory. Washington, June 11 A large number of telegrams from republican clubs and other organizations all over the country are being receiTed at the White House pledging Pres-ident Harrison their support, including those from the state central committee of Califor-nia and the Harmony Legion of San Fran-cisco. Governor Beaver of Pennsylvania Bays the-- nomination of Harrison is the best that could be made. He would take the j stump for him with much satisfaction, and more confidence of victory than for any other man. Informed by Telephone. White Plains, N. Y., June 11. Hon. Whitelaw Reid was notified of his noniina- - j tion last night by a telephone message. The j family were kept busy until a late hour ans wering the calls. Many prominent republicans sent tele-grams or called in person. It Was a Mistake. An associated press telegram yesterday de-clared the "Mormon delegates had been d ineligible." This was a mistake on the Dart of the operator sending the message from THE SPORTING WORLD. Opsning of the Jne Meeting Postponed Until Monday. JUDGE WEBB HAS ARRIVED. He Predicts a Successful Meeting and Some Interesting Races The Latest Sport-ing News Wheel Notes. The showers of yesterday and today made it necessary to postpone the opening of the spring meeting until Monday, but the delay of a day Will do no harm, as it will give the late arrivals an opportunity to put the finishing touches on their flyers, and the weather will doubtless be cooler. The patrons of the turf are all rejoicing over the arrival of Judge Webb from In-diana, for they know that when he is in the stand there will be no "monkeying" on the track. The judge is pleased at the big field of horses entered, and, like all others, predicts a successful and interesting meet-ing. Knights of the Silent Steed. The regular monthly meeting of the So-cials was held Wednesday evening. Arrangeaients will soon be made for thi construction of a bicycle track near Salt Lake City, in which case some of the fast men from the cast will be seen out this way. New York wheelmen are discussing a relay race from New York to Sau Francisco to take place in September while the roads arc at their best. Salt Lake wheelmen will probably have an opportunity to participate. The last Wednesday evening run was not taken on account of the business meeting. Next Wednesday evening the start will be made from the Knutsford at 0:15 p. m., as usual. These are short, pleasant runs, and everybody is invited. The run of the Social Wheel club to Sandy was well attended and the weather and road superb. New riders need not been afraid of "scorchers" on these runs as one of the lieutenants brings up the rear and the pace is made fo accommodate all. Six new names were added to the list of the Utah division of the League of American Wheelmen this week and the total number is rapidly nearlng the 100 mark. One hun-dred members will entitle Utah to a repres-entation on the national racing board and championship events may be held in the territory. Browne and Hemenway are each trying to coax air into a couple of punctured pneu-matics this week. i'hey say in spite of their little tussle with the aforesaid frac-tious tires that the "pneu" is the only wheel for them, and with a patch, some paste and patience they will shortly be in it with their old-tim- e airy grace. The first military march by bicycle in the history of the United States army was suc-cessfully made Decoration day when ten men under Lieutenant Hunt rode from Pullman. 111., to Chicago army headquarters in one hour and twenty-liv- e minutes actual time. Infantry would require five hours. The men carried thirty-seve- n pounds in ac-coutrements heavy marching order. The world's record for the twenty-fiv- e miles road race was twice lowered Decora-tion da v. Hayland Smith in the Irvington-Milbur- n 'race lowered his own previous record (world's) at 1 :1!):40 by making the twenty-liv- e miles ride in 1:17:11. The same day in the Martin twenty-fiv- e miles road race at Buffalo K. C. Graves again lowered the record by making the ride in 1:15:14. Zimmerman, "our Zimmy," is apparently rcgaining his form. May 20th he won the three mile race before the Polytechnic club at Paddington, England, beating four crack competitors. The race was well contested throughout and the men were close together until the last iap when Zimmerman spurted in a desperate finish and won by two and a half yards. The last quarter mile was made in 31 seconds. It would be surprising were the facts known to learn how many ladies in Salt Lake City have mastered the art of riding a bicycle. Apparently, however, very few of them have the temerity to venture forth be-fore the gaze of a staring public. However the number is increasing and with the event of paved streets the pastime will be in favor with a large number of ladies. It is quite the fad in the east and in Washington and in other cities the lady riders may be counted by the hundreds. Sporting Splinters. The athletic exhibition at Jim Williams' resort on Seventh South street tonight prom-ises to be quite interesting. Direct, 2:00, is being given regular work every day, although he has never been asked to go fat thus far. It is believed at Creigh-to- n Farm, Ky., that he will be as fast as he was last year, if not faster. "Parson" Da vies and Peter Jackson will shortly return to America. They will be at New Orleans in September, and will endeav-or to get o.i a match with Corbett, whether the Californiau wins or loses in his battle with Sullivan. Richard K. Fox has decided to offer a trophy to represent t lie jockey champion-ship of America. It will be presented to the jockey who lias won the most mounts during the regular racing season from May 10 to October 15, 1802. Several years ago a simi-lar trophy was offered, and McLaughlin won it after a close contest with Garrison. The richest race of the present week will be the Great Eclipse stakes. $20,000 guar-anteed, which will be run at Morris park to-day. There will be of course, a big field, and all the thus far seen are. en-tered. Gideon & Daly have Dr. Rice', late the Bonnie Lee colt; 1". A. Ehret has seven entered, among them Ledgerwood, St. Fran-cis, Don Alonzo and Jo;ephine ; John Hun-ter has Hesperus; J, A. and A. M. Morris have eight, including Frize, Freemasou, Mendacity and Minnehaha: the Oneck sta-bles have Sir Walter and War Paint, and the other lending stables are represented. The training of Jim Corbett for his fight with John L. Sullivan is to be peculiar, iiis nominal trainer will be Jim Daly of Philadelphia, but his real training will be done under the direction of Dr. John Wilson Gibbs of New York. Beginning at 2 o'clock today Corbett will be under the care of Dr. Gibbs until the day of the fight. The doctor examined and took measurements of Cor-bett yesterday. The doctor criticised the stalwart young pugilist from the standpoint of an expert anatomist, and could not re-frain from an admiring exclamation as he viewed his subject. "He has the physique of an Adonis, combined witli that of a Her-cules," said he. "He is a perfect man." Jim Hall ha6 taken up with Charley Mitchell and Pony Moore, who will find the money for Hall in his fight with Ted Pritch-ard- . "Parson" Davies will not have any-thing to do with the fight, as he thinks Hall nas made a very foolish match with Pritch-ard- , confining himself to 1(0 pounds. Dav-ies thinks that the lowest that Hall should right at is 168 pounds, but he says that Hal! can get to the stipulated weight and make a good tight. Hall will train at Mitchell's place in Brighton, and the fight will take place within ten weeks, but no place is se-lected yet. The clubs here will tight shy of the contest, as the side bet is a bar that no one will take the responsibility of removing. If it is n irate money show Hall will get none the best of tiie deal. FORCING THE ISSUE. Kawlins Insists on a Hearing in the Tuscarora Suit THE CASE IS SET FOR MONDAYi Judge Zane Don't Think He Has Much Influence with the Chicago Convention Melango of Court Notes. As was announced exclusively in THI Times last evening would be the case, the suit of the Tuscaroras vs. the straigtouta was called up before JaAge Zauc this morn-ing on an appeal from the ruling of Justice Lochrie overruling the defendant's demur-rer.

We gave notice to the other side last Wednesday that we should call the case up today, and they have had ample time. This isn't a motion at all, it is a de-murrer to the complaint. The Court Mr. Hiles will you refer to the statute ? Mr. Xni'ton Section 3073. Mr. Hilt This is a motion to take this matter up out of its regular order. The Court Well, are you prepared to take it up? Mr. Whs I am not, your honor. I am not prepared to argue it this morning. Mr. J.'airlin This case was heard in tho justices' court and an appeal taken. The other side was notified that we would call it up today. The suit was evidently brought for the purpose of having some effect at a political convention. The Court What convention was that? Mr. liawlin At Chicago. The Court The democratic convention? Mr. Hawlins Yes. The Court (smiling) Well I am afraid that the court hasn't much control over that convention.. Laughter. Will it be in timo if it is taken up next Saturday? Mr. Rawlins No, we are going away on Tuesday. Mr. Newton I hold that this is a trial da noro, and the case should go on the calendar in the regular way. That is the only way it can be reached unless the court shortens tho time. Mr. Rtuelttu I suppose we might take it up on Monday, but your honor will proba-bly be engaged at that time. We are will-ing to submit it now without argument. The Court If Monday will do, I will set it for that time. Should I be engaged, one of the other judges can hear it. Mr, JSowKim What do you say to submit-ting it now without argument? Mr. Hiles I say that I decline to do so. Counsel on the other side lias had time in which to look up authorities and consider the matter and we have not.

R.vleioh, N. C. June 11. county conven-tions of the third party are being held in seventy-fiv- e counties today for the t urpose of selecting delegates to the Omaha conven-tion. During the past month the leaders of the movement have carried on an active campaign, and it is claimed that the results have been beyond their expectations. All the delegates selected today will favor the nomination of Colonel L. L. Polk of the farmers' alliance for the presidency on the ground that he is a patriot, a statesman and a Christian gentleman, and that his ability, integrity and purity fuily qualify him for any position in the gift of the American people. There will be four delegates from each district. BUSINESS AFFAIRS. The Real Estate Market Active and Clearings Still Increasing. THE NATURAL GAS ENTERPRISE.

The clearings for the week have been nearly $330,060 larger than for the same week last year, while yesterday's figures were $321,000 as compared with $216,273 for the same day of last year. This shows a heavy increase in the volume of business done, and despite the unpronitious weather real estate dealers say that business has been very satisfactory with them for the past week, and the record of transfers. made con-firms it. World's Fair Notes. Tho secretary and executive commissioner state that in Chicago better buildings than many of the best in Salt Lake are beiugtorn down to be replaced by better ones. The entire city of Chicago is in a turmoil of house cleaning in preparation for the great exposition. The report of Executive Commissioner Erapy is now almost ready, but will not be made public before Monday, when The Times will, as usual, publish the first resume of it. The executive commissioner will furnish local architects with complete data regard-ing the Utah building as soon as his report is submitted. The secretary has a good many good words to say for the Chicago street railway service, as compared with Salt Lake's. Natural Gas. The new natural gas strike has encour-aged those who are interested in the com-pany, and they expect to have affairs in such shape next week that an appeal can confidently be made to the public for sup-port in assisting in piping the gas into the city. Business Briefs. The big Orton flouring mill is about com-pleted and the machinery is looked for every day. The scaffolding on the east towers of the temple will have disappeared in a few days from now. The work of tearing down the old Rich-ards building, below the Constitution block, is progressing rapidly. Utah strawberries, the genuine article, are being peddled on the streets today, and are selling for fifteen cents per quart. The paving on Richards avenue is being pushed rapidly, and the street is covered with men, teams and cement boxes. The union painters are reported as having a little slack time just now, but plenty of work is looked for in the near future. There is little change in the plumbers' strike today, but the journeymen are still confident of obtaining their demands. A number of Salt Lake architects have been at the commission rooms desiring to inspect the plai.s submitted to the commis-sion by outside architects, and to get a gen-eral idea to work on for the Utah building. The work of altering the o'n Clift house is still going on. Three fine business offices are being put in the ground floor, with glass and iron fronts, with entrances on the south side. The work of excavating for the new busi-ness block, south of the Hooper-Eldridg- e building on Main street, is about com-pleted, and work on the foundation will be started next week. EXPRESS ROBBERS.

ECLIPSE RACES. ir Walter First, Ooualonzo Second, Dr. Kice Third. New York, June 11 The great stakes this afternoon will attract at least 30,000 persons to Morris park. The most fashionable bred and highest tried are in traiuing to try con-clusions for prize money, the value of which is over $20,000, while the honor to some of the men who entered the youngsters is priceless. The west is represented by The Reaper, whose performances this spring on the fast track are phenomenal. The Reaper will carfy the hopes and dollars of the west-ern racing circuit. He arrived Thursday morning. If the knocking about he re-- ' ceived while in transit has not taken the edge off his speed New Yorkers may see the western intruder capture one of the richest stake events.

Washington, June 11. The tee of the World's fair committee of the house prepared a substitute bill for that now before the committee providing for govern-ment aid to the exposition. The substitute proposes ten millions in silver half-dollar-to be recoined from uncurrent subsidiary silver coins now in the treasury, to aid in defraying the cost of completing the work at Chicago, and $600,000 is appropriated to reimburse the treasuiy for the loss of such Out of the net amount received into the treasury of the exposition, the gov-ernment is to receive such proportions as this aprr priation bears to the whole amount expended. Provision is made for preparation of 50,000 bronze medals and 50,000 velluin impressions for diplomas to be awarded to exhibitors. DENVER PEOPLE'S THEATER BURNED.

The exhibit of school work at the large hall in the Odd Fellows' building, on Mar-ket street, reflects credit upon all who are striving to advance the cause of education here, upon the school board, upon Dr. Mills-paug-the superintendent, and upon the teachers. It shows that commendable prog-ress has been made during the past year, and is an evidence of the great interest taken by students in their work. The hall has been crowded again today, and the attendance will doubtless be large this evening. The visitors have nothing but praise for the exhibit, the character of which has been a surprise to all. At the lower end of the hall is the ex-hibit of the kindergarten grades, and then comes work of the various grades up to the eighth and the high school. It consists of the examination papers in the various branches of 6tudy, specimens of penmanship, drawings, models in clay, wood carving, relief outline and topographi-cal maps, essays, botanical specimens, etc. To do the exhibit justice requires some hours of examination. It was the intention to close the exhibit this evening, but so much interest is taken in it that four of the trustees favor the idea of continuing it for some days longer. They should do so by all means. A Kipist Hanged. Bastrop, Tex., June 11. Tobe Clark, a colored rapist and murderer, was executed here. He protested his innocence. . a . . A C hicago Foot Race.

LAWYERS WHO LOST THEIR FEES. A Realistic Courtroom Qurrei which Failed to Fool the Clients. Speaking of lawyers' courtroom quarrels and the friendliness which they afterward display outside of the courtroom, a writer in the ( 'heyenne carter is always reminded of the experience of S. F. Nuckolis, a grocery man in the earl- - days and the first delegate to congress from the territory. There ex-isted a very bitter fued between Nuckolis and another man, and the natter got into court. One of the men retained A. J. Pop-pleto- n and the other J. M. Woodworth, both from Omaha and now two of the biggest lawyers in Nebraska. Each client instructed his lawyer to rake the other party to the suit over the coals in the livliest possible man-ner. Nnckoiis, in telling the story, said: When mv lawyer got up I settled comfort-ably back in my sent ready to enjoy myself thoroughly. As my lawyer warmed to his work lie gave my opponent such a tongue-lashin- g' tint .he seemed to flay him alive. When the lawyer sat dawn I thought it was proved to the satisfaction of everybody that the other fellow was the meanest skunk that ever infested the eirth. When the opposing lawyer got up I wondered what he could have to say. I didn't have long to wait. He sailed into me and belted me ail over the earth. Before he got half through he pic-tured me as the meanest scoundrel this side of Jericho, and I sneaked out of the court room until the storm was over. After he was through speaking I came in again and sat down beside my lawyer. I took it for granted that the lawyers had as much per sonal feeling in the matter as their clients had. I was therefore very much surprised to sec Pop) leton hand a note across the ta-ble to AVoolworth, who opened and read it and then smiled back. The note he twisted up and threw under the table. I bad the greatest curiosity in the world to rind out what was in it, and after court adjourned remained behind. The note contained these words: "What will we charge these two fool?" T was mad. I took the note and hunted up my friend, the enemy, and showed it to him. Then lie was mad, and we both went to the courthouse, had the suit withdrawn, settled the costs, renewed our broken friend-ship and beat the two Omaha lawyers out of big fees." DR. RAINSFORD'S CHURCH SALOONS Views of a Liquor Uealers' Organ. Wine and Spirit Gazette. The Rev. Dr. Rainsford, the rector of St. George's church of this city has contributed his share to the current literature on the saloon question by suggesting that church-goin- g people should go into the liquor busi-ness with the view of mitigating its evils. The saloon, he says, is the poor man's club, and it should be made as innocent and at-tractive as possible. He wants Irs church people to open saloons where workingmen may get beer, light wines, coffee and choco-lat- e cm Sundays as well as oh week days. We look upon this proposition from a practical standpoint, and shall offer a few comments that will readily snggest them-selves to a liquor dealer who has some ex-perience in his business. The first question which naturally arises is: Will the experiment pay ? Underordin-ar- y circumstances no corner saloon in this city can exist on the sale of beer and light wines alone, for the simple reason that the demand for these drinks are not sufliciently large to pay expenses. It ia the hard stuff or spirituous liquor which is relied upon to make up the deficit that would other-wise appear on the balance sheet of a d saloon in this city. It is true, there are a few concert gardens and beer rooms in this city in which beer is the staple drink, that have oroved a financial success, but these establishments are patronized by a large number of peo-ple and are financially successful only by reason of the large sales made therein every day. If Dr. Rainsford can get enough patronage he may be able to make his church saloons pay. The supposition lead3 to us the second inquiry: Will the doctor get enough cus-tomers? We have considerable doubt on that score. If these beer, wine and coffee saloons are run as a tender to the church, the frequenters of them will naturally be people who are in some May- or other attached to the church. Dr. Rainsford will lind that his church saloons will not draw the crowds whom he would want to sec therein on account of the mis-sion character which in the public mind would soon attach itself to his experiment. Men will refuse to goto a church saloon for the same reason that, they would not like to be seen attending the MeAulcy or similar missions. As Or. Rainsford has squarely placed him-self in a position in which he recognizes the necessity of the saloon and the impossibility to reform the human appetite so as to make men abstain entirely from the use of intoxi-cating liquors, we ask why not extend the sway of his humanizing influence and church toleration to the existing saloons in his parish? There are many saloons in St. George's pariah which are not run with the idea of making drunkards of the customers. The owners of these places arc decent fellows, who detest a drunkard and would not sell a gia-- - of liquor to a man who is in-toxicated. Let Dr. Rainsford advise his hearers to frequent these saloons and by their patronage remodel them into a relization of his ideas. That experiment will give Dr. Rainsford an opportunity to determine, without any financial risk on his part, how far actual experience is likely to vindicate the soundness of his judgment. . .

Tho Vaulted Blue Can Now be Used by Knterprisinfr Tradesmen. Philadelphia Telegnph. . The newest horror is not Deeming nor the Paris anarchists. It is considerably worse than either. An esteemed scientific cotem-porar- y says that genuine sky signs can now be installed for the enterprising advertiser. By a simple arrangement of mirrors, re-flecting glasses and lights, a sort of gigantic magic lantern can be set up, by which ima-ges can be thrown upon the clouds. You will be able to advertise your wares, in let-ters 100 feet long, on the skies, so that they will be visible over a dozen counties. As if this truly awful aspect were not enough, we are told that these sky signs can be made luminous, so they will blaze all night! Heine, in one of his rhapsodies, said that he would like to snatch a burning pine from its Norway mountains and write with it the name of "Agnes" in letters of fire on the skies. But ho would probably not have cared to adorn the firmament with a blazing description of somebody's patent trouser stretcher, or a glowing picture of a lady wearing the latest thing in hygienic corsets.

It is puzzling to be told in London that you can get what you are looking for in a store "just down the road," and then to find that the numbers go up on one side of the street and down on the other, as in Totten-ham court road, for instance. The most gorgeous creature ever evolved in the way of an American hotel clerk is far less pleasing to look upon than the petite girl in black who takes your pounds, shil-lings and pence in the office of the EustOu hotel in London. The hose used in sprinkling the plazas of Paris is a queer contrivance. It consists of lengths of iron pipe, each length mounted at the end ot short axles having two small wheels, and the lengtns joined together by short pieces of flexible hose. The singing and dancing in the variety halls of London are far ahead of those in in similar places in New- - York. Even the words of the songs, of which little is ex-pected in that city, are bright in most of the pieces that score a hit in the English me-tropolis. Once get an idea of the feeling of the French towards the Germans when, in the hope of getting' around a conversational blockade, he addresses them in German. However polite the refusal to speak in that tongue, it is accompanied by a perceptible air of resentment. From a semi-bird's-ey- e point of view Paris and London are cities of impressive monuments, domes and magnificent exter-iors. From a similar point of view the most conspicuous features throughout the greater part of New York are slim church spires and back-yar- d clothes lines. Some store window placards are noticed in London: "Oysters, recommended for fortifying the sys-tem acninst influenza." "Old lltrficia teeth loiiKht for cash." "Cigarette sold by weight.' "Cosmetlque for the feet." English bar fences have the appearance of being bottom side up somewhat as an x looks when inverted. But it is all right; lumber is scarce there, and it isn't necessary to have the bars so close together up where the horses and cattle are as down where the sheep and pigs would be tempted to crawl through. The I'aris system of street cleaning is per fection itself. The most ingenious thing about it is the placing of hydrants at the summits in the streets and at the street cor-ners, whence the water for Hushing the gut-ters is made to run in cither direction by means of a little dam made of what looks like the "waste" used in cleaning machinery. Three American ladies who understood but little of French, were trying to make out from a menu just what sort of roast turkey-wa- s indicated by the French words. They all agreed that it was basted, hut there was a division as to whether it was a young tur-key, when one of them settled the matter by saying: "Of course it is; only the young arc basted." Once before being placed in his tomb every Parisian may be the recipient of homage us profound as would be given to a potentate. It is when going to his own fun-eral. Men uncover their beads and women devoutly cross themselves while the hearse is going b This is true even of the driv-ers of tram cars, busses and drays, and of the maids in white caps. 'The Talk in Kastern Literary Circles." Eugene Fieidin ( hicago Sows. 'ihe talk in eastern literary circles is that Mr. Edward W. Bok, the handsome young bachelor editor of the Ladies' Home Jour-nal, is to wed with Miss Lavinia Pinkham, the favorise granddaughter of Lydia Pink-ham- , the famous philanthropist. The young lady has been a contributor of verse to Mr. Bok's paper. She lives at East Braintree, Mass., is tall and sleuder, with a woudrously swect face, and aside from her distinct in-tellectual charms might bo considered in-teresting in the possession of a fortune esti-mated at nearly half a million dollars. - Greek and Latiu. Archbishop Thomson. I am afraid that tradition Is likely to be too strong for us, and that the old story will go on for a long time to came; that Latin and Greek wiil still be the staple of education, and that the making of Latin and Greek verses will be the intellectual exercise of the boys of the future as it has been of the boys of the past. I do not for a minute deny that there are masterpieces of beautiful form in the old literature. To deny it would be absurd. I should be very sorr'v, for my part, to give up the knowl-edge" I have of these languages, and I what an era it was in the expan-sion of my own thought when first I was set to work on the Republic of Plato. But when we speak of Greek and Latin literature, I suppose it is like English and French literature in this respect, that it con-tains good, bad and indifferent. It is a great mistake to think that everybody who wrote in Greek wrote beautifully, or that every work composed in Latin about the Augustan era is a model to admire and imitate. - - w Worth Seeing. On the sidewall of the reception room of "The Oxfcrd," hangs one of Mr. A. M. D. Cooper's ratest creations entitled, "Even-ing." The subject is that of a life-siz- e fe-male figure with arms outstretched floating through the air as the golden sun sinks to rest back of the hills beyond. There is no trace of suggestive painting here, and no appeal to the eye that finds coloristic charm only in brilliant tones and striking contrasts. It is truly a picture of evening. With all its extraordinary techni-cal power, and all its wonderful pictorial beauty this expression of iuuocence is tho picture's greatest charm. And it so great, simply because it so reticently, so delicately expressed. To do this and to make the re-sult perfect as a picture splendid in line, beautiful in tone and color, and adorable in workmanship, it needed a great master, and truly such a one is Mr. Cooper. Another gem by the same artist, entitled, "Love Guides Us," is also now on exhibition at Enzensperger's,and while it cannot justly be compared with "Evening," it portrays a de-cidedly clever conception, and is a very pretty work of art. . m . . , Tcss of the IJ'Frbervlllea. Br-nd- er Matthews. The. setting of the story is worthy of it. Mr. Hardy has the gift of tongues, and his women speak their own speech; never is their voice only the author's disguised into a falsetto. The narrative is as good as the dialogue. Mr. Hardy is clear, direct, vigor-ous in the tell ing of his tale. His style is flexible and delicate, with no loss of force. His English is so pure that when we chance on a French word now and then it shocks us as a thing out of place and abhorrent; and since I am finding fault, I may acknowledge that I see in Mr, Hardy a tendency to scien-tific terminology a tendency which led George Eliot astray in her later works. But I feel I should be doing injustice to myself if I left Tess with a hint of disparagement. It is a book for men and women who have thought about life; perhaps it is not a book for young men and maidens whose eyes are not yet opened to the mystery of existence. It is a book which many who have read once will read again and again, sad as it is, and unduly sorrowful. . Disappointed Office Seekers.

Marquise de Fontenoy in Chicago News-Recor- I do not think that anybody realizes ade-quately how much English society is in-debted to the heir apparent for the decrease of the intemperance which prevailed in the highest circles up to the time of his marriage. Men sat long over their wine after dinner.and a gentleman who could not dispose of at least one or two bottles of port was regarded as effeminate and a prig. Indeed.it was con-sidered far better form, if the truth were told, to get up from dinner drunk than sober. All this changed whan the prince gave the vogue to claret as an after-dinne- r wine, and it is to be feared that the absence of his controlling hand during the present season, Coupled with the enormous sale of port wine that is now in progress, will have the effect of reviving the intemperance of thirty and forty years ago.
