Fighting Females.

Early yesterday morning those
females who frequent the boxes Of
the Red Ward Opera House got war
ring among themselves and for time
threatened destruction to each other.
From what could be learned of the row,
1t appears to have been the handiwork
of AL Lea, who originated stories and
did the work of a busy gossiper.
There had been bad blood existing be-
tween the Thompson sisters and Edith
Valentine and very little was needed
to set them to fighting. After Lea had
carried out his part. the melo.dramatic
scene opened by one of the Thompson
sisters jerking of one of her slippers
and hitting Edith Valentine on the
head with the heel of it, infiicting
wounds on the beck of the head and
oyer the left eye. Then the fight be-
came general and two or three were
knocked out. The fight was not In
rounds or by Marquis of Queensbury
rules, but give and take until they
were separated. The two Thompson
girls were arrested and had q hearing
in Judge Browns court room yester-
day afternoon. The examining of the
witnesses consumed nearly all the
afternoon. Court was adjourned until
Monday afternoon at o'clock, when .
decision will be rendered.

patch reads:

The Election.

The election for school trustee came
off yesterday and Mr.. C.. L Brown
was elected to fill the vacancy made
by the retirement Of c. B. Towers,
and II. w. McIntire was elected clerk
vice J. b. Collins. There was more
interest taken in the election than on
former occasions. as the votes polled
give evidence. Mr.. Brown received a
total Of DO and Mr.. McIhtire 2lS, there
being no opposition to either. Last
year the total number of votes polled
was 40. There were several carriages
out carrying voters to the school
house, showing the position of school
trustee is no longer an unlmportant
one. Too little thought has heretofore
been given to that Office, and the peo-
pie are now beginning to understand
the responsibility that should be at
tacbed to those holding office, and see
the necessity of putting men in who
are capable of conducting the affairs of
the position they are placed in. A
gentleman referring to school matters
yesterday said:
1.-The uniform expression of the
votes in the election is to be inter-
preted in one way only. 1t means
progress and improvement. You can
no longer question what the people
wish in reference to the public school.
Trustees can now move with conf
dence in the support OF the taxpayer,
in placing our school in the very front
rank OF schools in the territory. The
people expect them to do it. and will
second their efforts in the use of all
proper means for It's accomplishment.
Whatever changes may be found
necessary or new methods be advis
able, they can feel warranted In using
their official trust with the sanction o
the patrons and taxpayers. The frs
thing they should do should be to Civ,
US a school of far higher grade, thor
oughly organized under corps o.
competent teachers, who will bt
patterns In morals and manners to the
pupils under them. The gentlemen Of
the board have now the opportunity
and should improve It,"

A Striking Resemblance.

He was the son of g. worthy Chica-
goan, and he had just returned from
college. The father was brusque,
matter-of-fact man, who had no liking
for anything dudish, and he noticed
with sorrow that his son returned
with bangs and various other insignia
of dudedom. The old gentleman sur
veyed him critically when he appeared
in his Office, and then blurted out:
"Young man, you look like a fool"
Just at that moment, and before
the young man had time to make a
fitting reply. a friend walked In:
"Why. hello, George, have you re-
turned?" he asked. "Dear me, how
much you resemble your fathsr."
$50 he has just been telling me-" re-
piled the youth. And from that day
to this the old gentleman has found
no fault with bangs.

The President and the Giant.

''Col. O'Brien, Mr.. President" said
one of the ushers at the White House
reception the other day, as the Presi-
dent reached forward to grasp the
hand which could probably squeeze in
to a No. 10 glove. The President
looked straight ahead, and his eyes
met the lower button on the caller
vest. Not finding a smiling face at
that height he raised his eyes grad
ually until they had reached an eleva-
ton of z feet 6 inches, and in the
meantime the Presidents head was
thrown back to such q degree that his
standing collar almost collapsed.
When he realized that he was standing
face to face with a real live circus giant
g. broad smile spread over his counte-
nance, and the crowd of bystanders
could not help laughing at the deliber-
ate manner in which the President s
eyes wandered up the broad coat front
until the face of thegiant camein sight
To render the situation more comical,
there was adwarf in the line, and when
ne reached the President and clutche6
at the latter with two hands there was
another outburst Of laughter at the
Presidents remark, "We are having
the long and the short of it to-day"

the cooking for the family is done at

A Woman's Thrilling Experience.
From the New York Granbio

lCsJ
Near the entrance of the inner har-
Dor stands the Duxbury light. There
is no land visible beneath except in
very low tides. The means of en-
trance to the lighthouse is from the
side by a long iron ladder. In this
tower lives light-keeper Gorham, his
wife and q son of 10. Mr.. Gorham
was recovering from an attack of pneu-
monia when the Inspector last visited
the light, and to hasten mis- recovery
the official ordered him ashore. On
Tuesday Allie, the son, went to town
to purchase supplies and the storm
prevented his return.
From Tuesday until Sunday Mrs.
Gorham remained alone, the heavy
pillows beating against thetower and
the wind bowling around it. The
thick mist obscured the land. Her
dory, moored near the tower, in some
way broke loose and drifted away.
She braved the storm to descend the
ladder and lash it securely so that it
too might not be torn away by the
breakers.
Throughout all her lonely watch
Mrs. Gorham kept the light burning
brilliantly, the anxious husband
ashore being treasured as ne from time
to time caught glimpses of the beams
through the riffs in the misty veil

A Tough Case.
Ernm the In,

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal]
One Of the toughest cases that has
come to the notice of the police lately
comes in the shape OF the complaint
from physician. The physician said
that among his patients was child
with the humps. The child's mother
supported her and her husband The
latter rewarded her kindness nearly
every day last week by coming home
in a drunken condition, and in his wet
clothes taking the baby from the era
die and Juggling it around the house,
out into the shed, out of doors even.
The child narrow ly escaped it's death
once or twice during the week. The
mother was powerless to prevent it.
The child was in critical condition
when the physician pesought the DO
lice TO help him in his doctoring. eff
I could have him locked up for week
it would be all right" the doctor in
closing his complaint said, "but as
long as he can go out he will manage
to come home in just the proper frame
of mind TO seize the baby and parade
Canal Street with it. Such brute
ought to be made an example of"
