CHICAGO, Sept. Ex-senator Sharon,
of Nevada, is in the ty. In relation
t., his arrest in San Francisco, just as
he was about starting east, at the in-
stance of a woman who claimed he
owed her money, he said it was pure
ly a case Of blackmailing. instigated
by an ex-Australian convict who
scribbles for law publication in San
Fr ncisco, out of revenge, because he
caused this woman to be elected from
TIL Palace hotel. He says he never
borrowed from her and avows his in
tention to fight the case through.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-In an interview
with Sharon this morning he gives
further information to that given in
these dispatches last night in regard
to his arrest. He says. THE charge
against me was originated by an ex-
convict from Sydney, New South
Wales. This vile scoundrel is named
John NJ. Nelson. had the woman
elected from the Palace Hotel because
she was not desirable. l have moth
ing to say against the woman"
"Was her name Aggie Hiil?"
II don't want to mention the wO-
mans name ct all, because she has
respectable friends and relatives, and
do not care to injure them.'
But you are charged with adul-
tery."
"Adultery, as defined in the laws of
the state of California, must be open
and notorious. I really don't know
anything about the charge at all; it's
base, libellous, and originates with a
man whose character is black. But
us | was saying, this Wom-
an had been invited to leave the
house and she did le4ve. That
same evening before l was leaving
for Washington, Nelson came into
tie hotel, and demanded money from
me for the woman. l told HIM to
send her around herself and he told
me she would not come, and that If
l didn't give it that as she had no
character to lose. she would make it
warm for me. 1 simply told him to
get out, and then the next thing l
knew | was arrested as l was going
to the train. 1t was a shameless
scandalous proceeding and some one
NAV have to suffer for it"
"What about borrowing 10000
from Miss Hill and making con-
tract to marry her?'
"That is a lie out of the whole
cloth. l never borrowed cent from
a woman in my life, and as for max
ing a contract to marry, am pretty
old fish and that kind Of bait won't
catch me"
"Did you give her $4,000 before
you left?
"What an idea. am not throwing
slices of money around in that way.
Now l don't want to say anything
about this matter at all in the papers,
but this woman may compel me to
say some unpleasant thing as under
stand that she is very deceitful. She
dabbled some in stocks. She had a

SANDS & BOYCE.
The Direction in Which the La
dies are Casting Some of Their
Wistful Chances.
Perpetual Motion.

Ready-made clothing for gentle
men, and such other matters as per-
tain to their wardrobe, have been the
theme of our daily newspaper talk
for some days past, so isn't it about
time for us to give our lady readers
a little attention? We promise to do
so in this and a number of succeed
ing articles.
The time has now arrived when la
dies are casting some of their wistful
glances in the direction of
WRAPS AND READY-MADE DRESSES.
Can We, then, hit upon more fe-
licitous theme? Weeks ago we antic-
ipated the present, and our New
York buyer was looking here, there
and everywhere for choice offerings
of this character; and now, as the re.
suit of his painstaking, we have the
finest and largest assortment of these
goods that we have ever exhibited.
Did W say this same thing
last y If, and will we say it
next year? Yes, we probably did,
and will. It was true last year, it is
true now, and we hope such state
ment will be true next year. If we
do not improve every year, then ex-
perience goes for naught. You know
the reputation this department of
our business has always enjoyed, and
we know how hard we have striven
to make it what it is.
PERPETUAL MOTION
is us much within the range of possi-
bility as that business, or any de-
partmenl of it, can "stand STILL"
We must advance or retrograde as
surely as that the seasons come and
60. We know our suit and wrap de-
partment bears the impress of inn
provement, and We want you to
know it. We invite you to look
through it. We will endeavor to ex-
tend you every courtesy, whether
you wish to buy or not, for it is our
business to show goods, and we will
esteem it pleasure to do. so in any
event. We will not expect to sell to
you if you do not wish to buy, nor if
you do wish to unless we can make
it to your advantage.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

rations were left ut Upp. rnavik by
Yantic for my party. TIE party has
met me at poi.t 40 miles nCrti' of
Tessurak and all have since returned
to the Yantic. The ultimate result of
any undertaking to 60 north at this
time is extremely prOtlematical and
the chances are against its success,
owing to the dark nights now begin
ming in inst regioI, making ice nav
igation extremely critical work.
There is no safe winter anchorage on
the west shere of Greenland between
Disso and Pandero Harbor except,
perhaps, Moth Star Bay, the winter
quarters of Saunders. However,
there is bare chance of success, and
if my recommendations are

ton, Lieut.. J. G Cow Ii to command
the ship, two ensigns and one engi-
neer to be taken from those who may
volunteer from the same ship; also to
employ a competent ice pilot here.
The ship must be under United
