More Shaplifting.

An epidemic of petit larceny seems to
have centred at Campbell s. Merrill's
drug store. Yesterday afternoon Ida
Sever, colorcd member of the demi-
monde, stopped in the store ON her way to
the train, to look at somc perfumery. and
when she left two bottles went with her,
contrary to the consent of the firm. Mr..
Merrill notified officer Wimett, who fol-
lowed the dusky belle to the depot and ar
rested her, just as she was comfortably
seated in the train bound for Bozeman.
She was greatly illustrated offered to
settle the bill on liberal terms. asserted
she had taken the perfumery merely as
joke and begged not to be delayed 50 that
tllc train would leave her and deprive
Bozeman society Of her presence, But
she was mercilcssly taken before Judge
Seward, and though she pleaded guilty,
in state of great excitement, was delayed
till the train left. The fine, costs and
price Of tic perfumcry footed up to 50. 40,

TIMBER AREA.

In recent address Oh the subject of
tree culture, Prof. Rothrock, of the
University of Pennsylvania, points out
that only 164 per cent. of the area of
the United States is woodland owned
by private parties, whereas % per
cent. of the area of Europe is in forest
and no European country with less
than Is per cent. of woodland area pro-
duces enough lumber for its own use
This estimate does not include the
large tracts of public lands in our coun-
try which are of forest character, but
those are being rapidly denuded; and
with their supply counted, it is plain to
$ ee that unless we soon take measures
to preserve and increase our timber re-
sources we shall have to be sending
broad for lumber.

Suspicious circumstances secretly com
municated to the agency would enable
it's detectives to ascertain whether
officers of the banks in cooperation are
engaged in speculation clandestinely,
and at trifing cost protection from
the practices most productive of defal-
cations in banks might be secured. 1t
is possible to organize banks whose
officers, including the directors, shall
have no outside business whatsoever,
and although the salary list would be
arge for staff of worthy men to re-
strict themselves to the business of the
bank, an institution conducted on that
plan would obtain sufficient public
favor to enable it to pay higher salaries
than the banks which are managed by
spectators.

BUILDING IN MADRID.

There is curious state of things re-
ported from Madrid. There are few in
dustries in the city, and the only en-
ployment that is given to mechanics is
in house building. A vast amount of
this has been done within several
years past, an actual mania appearing
to have taken possession of capitalists
for building investments, and it is esti-
mated that upwards of $2O,000,Oo0 have
been expended in the city and suburbs
on houses alone. AS a consequence.
there are not enough people to fill the
houses, and the empty buildings SO dis
courage the investors that work has
stopped and laborers can find no en-
ployment. It is stated that there is
house room in Madrid for 10000 more
persons than are living in the city.

THE IGLEsTAs GOVERNMENT.

The refusal of France to recognize
the Iglesias government of Peru is at
tributed to the fact that he is tacitly
supported by Chill, whose interests in
Peruvian guano beds do not harmonic
with those of France. The recognition
of President Iglesias by the United
States occurred on April %, 1884, and
undoubtedly to give him the support
of friendly relations with this country
is to promote the welfare of PROSTATE
Peru. Ex-President Calderon has been
liberated from the Chilian confinement
in which he has been held for nearly
three years, but it is intimated that he
will not return to Peru as disturber
In the immediate future, and ex-Dicta-
tor Pierola has thus far fulfilled the
promise which he made in New York a
few weeks ago not to attempt to take the
government out of the hands of Iglesias.
The prospects for Peru is as favorable
as could reasonably be expected, and il
Gen. Iglesias is permitted to carry out
his present policy he may prove his
right to his title of president Regen-

THE CONGO COUNTRY.

Prince Bismarck is proceeding in the
Congo business more methodically than
our department of state. Instead of
recognizing the international Associa-
ton of the Congo, a body which has no
diplomatic or representative existence,
he notifies England and Portugal that
he will not recognize the Ang1o-P ortu-
guese treaty as controlling German
subjects; and has also entered into cor
respondence with other nations with
the view of securing an international
compact for the regulation of the COM
mercial interests of the Congo. The
international Association of the Congo
claims to have organized as free states
certain districts of the Congo valley.
which are alleged to guarantee free
trade to the nations which recognize
their flag, and to permit the citizens of
such nations to buy land and establish
factories and trading stations; but this
anomalous guarantee is offered by an
association of adventures with no ma
tional autonomy, and no representative
character, except by virtue of certain
treaties with number of African tribes.
1t has not been reported that any of the
great powers, except the United States,
have recognized their pretensions.

A shipping bounty law was passed in
France, January 9, 1881, which comedies

CHARLES O'CONOR.

Charles O'Conor's death is reported
from Nantucket, the sea-beaten island
on the south shore of Cape Cod, where
the retired lawyer had made his home
for some years past. Mr.. O'Conor was
about 80 years of age at the time of his
death, and having long since accumu-
lated competency, his appearances at
the bar for many years past have been
infrequent. His last great professional
triumph was as one OF the counsel be-
fore the electoral commission in 1877.
On that occasion the case went against
his clients, but it was owing to no fault
of its advocate, who made one of the
most mastery legal arguments ever
heard in this country. For very long
time, by common consent, O'Conor was
conceded to be at the head of the New
York bar, which, of course, means the
first rank among the lawyers of the
United States. He owed this recog-
nition not to any peculiar brilliancy as
an advocate, but to his general excel
1ence in the various departments of the
complete legal mind. His great sue
cess in the profession is the more not
able from the fact that he entered it
without the classical education of which
most of our great lawyers have enjoyed
benefits. He was so thoroughly law
yer that he never cared to be anything
else, and though he had many oppor-
tunities for political advancement, he
accepted none save membership of
constitutional convention and short
term as United States district attorney.
In 1872 he was the candidate for presi-
dent of the Democrats who bolted the
nomination of Greeley, but it was in the
face of his positive declination. His
character was as high as his abilities
were great, and one of the best known
incidents of his late career was the in
vestigation by the New York Bar AS
ISOLATION and his acquittal of Ethe mali
cous charges preferred against him by
an INSCRIPTIONS enemy.

Stories of Rubinstein.

Rubinstein has been telling some
amusing stories of his sojourn at the
different capitals.
'Why do sit as if Iwere asleep when
L play?" he said, in reply to a question.
II will gladly tell you how that is.
Some five years ago gave concert in
London. My audience seemed inter-
esded, and i myself was well disposed.
AS I was playing Beethoven's 'Appas-
sionata,' without thinking / looked
around, and there, at the other end of
the piano, I saw lady gossiping as fast
as possible! It was like douche of ice
water. I closed my eyes and since then
have never dared to even cast a glance
at an audience" Another douche of a
different kind Rubinstein received at
Paris. His Ocean Symphony" had
been played; the composer himself had
conducted the orchestra and received
the stormy applause of the public.
Friends and strangers alike crowded
around him after the performance; all
were delighted, saying that it had been
an event in the musical world, and that
all Paris was full of it. Well satisfied,
Herr Rubinstein went to his hotel, and
on his way he met one of the first French
composers, who, with surprise and pleas
ure in his eyes, called out :: "What, you
at Paris, Herr Rubinstein? This is
pleasant surprise? But you are not
thinking of appearing in public?"

A Maiden Lady's Heirs.
[From the Cleveland (ohio) Leader.

GFrom the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader.l
A conclusion has finally been reached
in the Lucas County common pleas
court in the case of single lady who
died in South Toledo some years since
She was about three.score years of ago
at the time of her death. She left a
small house and lot, and having no
brothers or sisters living, the property
reverted to the next heirs, who were on
her fathers side. This was the manner
in which the heirship stood, after being
figured with Italian fneness: There
were eleven uncles and aunts, ten
cousins, and seven second cousins,
which would make the share of cousins
children one-seventh of one-tenth of
one-eleventh, of one one hundred and
seventyths of the whole amount. The
property at sheriff sale brought $3.50,
from which $121.40 costs had to be
taken, leaving $238.3O to be divided
among the heirs. This leaves a divis-
ion to each of the uncles and aunts or
their descendants of $21.67, to each of
the ten cousins $2.17, and to the seven
children of the third cousin about 80
cents. These heirs are scattered
through Ohio. Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia, and
California, and one and one-half pages

weeks among the fishermen along the
beach, but he did not unearth any clue
to the perpetrator, and the reward of
$4O0 that was offered for the recovery
of the whistle and information leading
to the conviction of the miscreant who
removed it was alike imperative. This
lens, which throws the light of the bea-
con for distance around, was removed
just previous to the last storm, and it
was no doubt done in the hope that the
