Chinaman vs.. White Man.

Before Justice Nichols yesterday
afternoon was a case, where q China
man named Ben, had John and Tom
Burns arrested for assault and high
way robbery. The statement of the
case was, that last Saturday evening
as the two men named Burns were
coming from VAUDEVILLE to Butte
they ran up against two Cinnamon
VINO were going to Walkerville. AS
they were passing each other one of
the Cinnamon jostled against one of
the Burns, and said something not
very complimentary and threatened
to shoot him, w%hereupon Burns
knocked the Chinaman down, and
then continued bis way with his
companion to the skating rink. A
short time afterwards they were ar
rested by Sheriff Sullivan, the China
man having sworn out a warrant
charging Burns with assault and
highway robbery, in robbing him Of
SIS after he was knocked down. The
justice, after taking the evidence,
dismissed the prisoners as there was
no evidence that would sustain the
charge.

Popular Misconceptions that ought to

A writer in Lippincott's Magazine
thinks that the health of the people
would be brought up to a better con
dition If they were educated out of
the following fallacies:
The idea that cold baths are healthy
in W inter- and dangerous in summer,
That rain water is more wholesome
than "hard" water.
That bedrooms must be heated in
cold weather.
That the misery Of everlasting
scrubbing and soap-suds vapOr is
compensated by the comfort of the
lucid intervals.
That a sick room must be kept her.
metically closed.
That it pays to save foul air on &C.
count of its warmth.
That "draughts" are me rbiic
agents.
That catarrhs are due to low tenn
perature.
That even in midsummer children
must be sent to bed at sunset, when
the air begins to be pleasant.
That an afternoon nap can do no
harm.
That the sanitary condition of the
air can be improved by carbolic
acid.
That there Is any benefit in swolI
lowing jugiuls of nauesous sulphur
water.
That rest after dinner can be short
ened with IMMUNITY.
That ont door recreation Is q waste
of time.
That athletic sports brutalize the
character.
That q normal human being re-
Quires any other stimulant than ex-
ercise and fresh air.
That any plan of study can justify
the custom of stinting children in
sleep.
That the torpor of narcotism is
preferable to insomonia.
That the suppression of harmless
recreation will fail to beget vice and
hypocricy
That stimulation is identical with
IMMIGRATION.
That fashion has u right to enforce

TOdd's Latest Trouble.

George, the First Marquis of Told
is In trouble again. No sooner had
he solved the problem of how to take
. patent medicine three times q day
. after each meal, by the economical
use of a pretzel, when the state of his
finances didn't admit of his enjoying
but one scanty meal q day, than he
is met by another difficulty. Among
his other virtues the Marquis pos
sesses that of playing upon the
banjo. He Is an expert upon the
instrument and has q weakness for
them, and numbers among his earth
ly treasures some halt dozen of the
three for two bits kind. Well. George
who Is industrious and sc0rns to eat
the bread of idleness concluded to
teach . class in the use of the four
stringed harp. He had a room In
one of the first hotels in the city and
there he organized his class. Tuition
$5O a quarter, payable In advance.
Hours of practice from 8 P. NJ. to 2 A.
NJ. Upon these terms the Marquis
procured five pupils. He gave but
one lesson. About II O'Clock on the
night of his opening his room door
was burst open and an Infatuated
mob of dodgers demanded to know
"what he meant by keeping them
awake with %hi,infernal racket"
George innocently replied that he
didn't know he was keeping any.

from the room. And what adds
to his grief, the landlord
has positively forbidden him to take

demand their lessons or the return Of
their tuition fees. AS 1t is more
