was torn to shreds, his nose bit OF. his
eyes gouged out, and his cheeks smashed
in. The pieces were gathered up and
Laid away behind tie bQ, and the
miners went ON with their drinking and
carousing till the breakfast balls brought
them to their senses.
In the meantime Laura Agnes had be-
comouneasy about Romeo, and had sent
q man to look him up. When he found
him lying in heap in the saloon, he
said he never could break the nd nsws
to Julio. TWAS suggested BY some one
that Romeo be gathered together and
returned 10 his mistress; and suitable
apology be made. He was stretched ON
q board and carried by two men to the
hotel, while the crowd followed at their
heels to see the fun. Laura was ct the

ers addressed her in the most solemn
ones:
Madam, it becomes my most painful
duty to present to you the remains of
your beloved Romeo. He would run
with the boys last night, and would
drink. and would fight, and this is what
is left of him"
The actress gased at the figure q min
ute, then raised up and assumed stage
attitude, and gave . scream that brought
rush to the dining room. She fell
upon Romeo, a1d besought him to
speak to her just once.
"Dead, dead, dead, my Romeo, my
Romeo, speak to me this once; tell me
you love me; it can not be that he is
dead; Romeo, Romeo. my darling Ro-
meo; yes, yes, he is dead, dead. o Ro-
meO, Romeo, speak"
And the woe stricken actress, with
tears streaming down her cheeks,
tumbled over on the dilapidated form
Of Romeo, and was to all appearance
dead as q mackerel. The miners couldn't
stand this last act and made . rush for
the door, their solemn faces and glisten.
ing eyes telling that they were striving
to suppress their emotions. No sooner
was the room cleared than Laura sprang
up from the floor, wiped her eyes, and
sat down to the breakfast table again,
laughing at the manner in which she
played it upon the boys. The miners
returned to the saloon q sad looking
set; where they raised among them
selves purse of dust large enough to
buy regiment OF Romeos.
When the stage called at the hotel that
morning to take Laura Agnes on her
way back to Deer Lodge, the miners
gathered round to bid her good bye,
and as she took her seat the purse was
tossed into her lap, and Laura was gone
from their gaze.
This remarkable woman left the
mountains with many regrets and many
dollars, and never heard of her again
until two or three years ago when I saw
an announcement in a Salt Lake paper
that she had made an engagement to
play . season there. But she had
changed her name somewhat.

REV. W. F: ca.cxLrr. assistant

Rev. w. F. CHRcKLEY, assistant
minister Of St. Psul's Episcopal Church,
in Toronto, starved to death about two
weeks ago. Though his pay was NOM
inally $500 year, he received about
$500. His family consisted of six chill

both hands,, two children Of dead

Mr.. Checkley's death it was ascertained
that the large family had lived on bread

Barbarisms in Bonnets.

Speaking of fashion, the changes in
bonnets become more and more striking
as the season advances and styles are as
sured, and it can not be said that these
changes are for the better. In the first
place the new shapes one and all de-
mand special couture, which is often
singularly unbecoming and unsuitable
to individual form and feature. And
again, no profile not strictly Grecian in
its lines can bear the fiat narrowness
given to woman's head by the close
fitting untrimmed backs of bonnets and
the high-massed garniture of the fronts.
Yet there are of course faces that man
age to make of these stiff, ungraceful
head coverings really beautiful, becom-
ing frames for themselves, and thus
make them look doubly hideous on 9TH
ers. There is one shape, however,
which not Juno herself could make 9TH
er than monstrous; its crown runs to an
acute angle from front and back, and
thus forms sort of fiat shelf upon
which to lay mass of awkward bows
and angular wings, for every thing
seems angular in contact with them.
Angels might weep at the effect pro-
duced by one Of them upon the head Of
a stout middle-aged woman with large,
coarse features, or upon the
thin, pinched face of some
gaunt maiden of uncertain age, and as
usual, these are the very people who
instinctively select them. They are
trimmed with great gorgeousness of
style; edged with thick gold cable cord,
and tied with brilliant hued ribbons of
stoutest texture, either exceedingly mar
row or equally wide, for both styles pre-
vail now-s0me strings being only an
inch in width, while others are fully five
or six, in which case they are not tied,
of course, but merely pinned with the
new brooches now 30 fashionable for
that purpose. One very singular model
for q hat, to be worn with suit of black
satin richly embroidered, consists of .
high, very high coronet frame, covered
with black satin and edged with gold,
upon the outside of which Is little or no
and which bears upon
its upturned front q whole pheasant's
breast laid on fiat. Nothing can be |
more ungracsful or more strying,"
and subdued smile greets its unfor-
tunate wearer on every hand. Gorgeous
insects and reptiles fash and glitter |
amid the dark feathers and flowers on
every bonnet, needing the power of mo-
lion alone to make them thoroughly
alive, and even that is in some cases
we'll simulated BY the flexible springs
upon which they dance. To have ga
bee in ones bonnet is no longer . mis-

of the closing scene, Romeo got sep
arated from Julio, and was borne by the
boys to Q saloon. There treating was

with whiskey until the paint

POLITICAL,

At large democratic mass meeting
at Portland, Me-, Wednesday evening,
Col. s. G. Andrews, a leading democrat,
in the course of his spe och, eulogized
Mr.. Ti'den as a patriot AMIDST 1t, snan and
among the finest and best the country
had ever known. He said he was cheated
out of the presidency in 1875, after being
fairly elected. This sentiment was loud
ly applauded, but when he added That
his claims and his behavior since 1876
| had been such as to entitle him to nom
ination in 1880, there was tremendous
applause.
| The New York Times saws IL will need
a ticket of exceptional strength to secure
a republican majority in New York thi,
year, be the democratic divisions whai
they may and let the strength Of III,
Rreenback vote be greatly beyond rea
sonable anticipation.
The Boston Transcript says that tn,
Hon. Henry L. Pierce, who is promi
nently mentioned for Governor of M ans
achusetts, is a bardworking bushes
man, who is rarely seen inside a clul
and seldom in what IL called society.

Improvements that have been made in
the city were also made by Democrat

matter again in few lines. The Demo
Gratis built the reservoir; were the cause
of preserving and perfecting our Fire
Department, enlarged the city prison,
purchased the City Hall bell, and are
now building the new county buildings.
The Improvements made by the Repub-
licans are confined to the purchase of the
City Hospital, the gutter plates and pur-
chase of the English bull and macada-
MIXING of French and Fourth streets
The latter cost the city $18 week fol
sprinkling, in order to escape doin,
the work over and the extension O
streets at heavy cost, merely to pu
money in the pockets of bondholders
Had they put in sewers instead of usin
gutter plates there would have bee
some permanence in their work. Bu
the Republican Council seemed to cal
more to do something that put money
the pockets of favorites than to NAL
valuable and lasting beneficial improv
ments for the whole people.

CITY FINANcEs.-It ought to %
enough to carry the election In favor OF
the Democrats to contrast the condition
Of the city finances to-day with WHIT
they were last year. Last year thu Re-
publican City Council had expended
every dollar. that was in the treasury
and overdrawn their account some 81
600 or 5000, and left about $4,000 Of
current expenses unpaid. This year the
Democrats have all their current ex-
penses. paid up, and according to the
statement of Mr.. Guthrie there are bal
ances remaining In bank and to the credit
Of City Treasurer, schools, &C., amount
ing In the aggregate to el26, 1890. Mr..
Guthrie Is particular to give the figures
thus: To the credit Of the city, $751;
555.23 school tax to the credit Of the
City Treasurer. s24, 68l.26; to the credi,
of the Board of Education, 10000; In
the Collector hands, $1,000, and at the
last meeting Of Council $1,250.5o had
been paid before 1t was due. This In
contrast to the overdrawn account o.
the Republicans last year Is something
of which our Democratic people ough
to be able to boast, considering too thu
fact that the Democrats reduced the to,
assessment this year about per cent.
1t was not in very good taste nnde
the circumstances for Mr.. Chandler Il
raise the bubble he did, and assert tha
the amount to the credit Of the city nov
was q few thousand less than MI
Guthrie's statement. Sometime ago q
chairman of the Finance Committee Nj
Guthrie said to some Of the newspape
reporters that according TO his estimate
the city would have on hand about tb
first of September If the Collectors wer
as successful as they were last year
balance Of about $4,000. The exhib
made last night shows that he was quit
as nearly correct as one could be. Coz
sidering how much might have depende
upon the activity of the Collectors, h
estimates were very accurate.

A DIFFERENCE THAT WILL BEAR
REPEATING.-The report of the Street
Commi ssioner made to the City Council
last night showed 30 men, and double
and e single teams employed for the past
week, and a pay roll payment Of $190.S1.
The report for the corresponding week
last year while the Council was in the
hands of the Republicans, shows 81 men
II double and 8 single teams, pay roll
payment of $715.04. All this was te
secure votes for the Radical party, ant
was assented to without single de
murrer ON the part of Republicans il
Council. But the matter did not stol
there. The next weeks report showe'
that there were were 222 men, 10 doubl
and 80 single teams employed, and pa
roll for the week of $1567.50.
These reports show the difference be
tween working the city government TO
partisan purposes and working it for tn
people-between high tax partisans an
low tax partisans.
It will be remembered that the edito
of the Republican called on his reader
yesterday afternoon to observe the re
ports to the Council to be made las
evening. We hope they will and Sc
how great is the difference between RAD
ical extravaganza and Democratic ecor
