!, New YORK, Dec. 8.-Judge Donahue
Of the supreme court, has granted
attachments. against the property of
Anton Rives, of SO Lispenard street.
He was arrested last night on COM
plant of his former bookkeeper, Cliff
ford Kemp. Kemp charges that Rives
ordered him as bookkeeper to change
the accounts of the business, so as to
show the assets to amount to $500, 900,
when in reality there were only $1,000
worth. Kemp alleges that this was
done with an intent to obtain $4,000
insurance by setting the place. on on
fire. Kemp was to receive $4,000
for the job, and he claims the insurance
adjuster was paid $4,000 to give
favorable report.

number of land offices in Dakota where
republican officials still holds on, and
democrats are beginning to eye them
greedily. The republican register and

board at.an early day if rumored dis.
agreements between them do not
cease. From hints dropped tonight
/ theres reason to believe that early
changesgWifl be made in these offices,
5and;itis not unlikely that E. S. Nave
will be appointed register at Mitchell
in place of Everitt. 1t is stated that
Singiser will not be disturbed for some
time to come. Register Rea, who
wrote Sparks fulsome letter in praise
of his policy, which the commissioner
had the indiscretion to publish in his
annual report, still holds office at Bis
marck, having found favor. through
his testimonial to Sparks's panscea for
all public ills, but it is thought that he
will be soon superseded. It is as
serted that Abram Boynten Of Len.
nox, who spent the greater part of last
winter here, will be appointed register

''3ut how can / tell which one you mean?

STAGE SCANDALS.
Securing NotOriety for Third-C Class Actresses
by Shameless Advertising.


New York sun.
The fashion of advertising second and third
rate women of the stage by cutivating scandals
with regard to them has of late been carried to
an utterly insufferable extreme. The one effort
is to secure for them notoriety as shameless
characters, so that the public curiosity may be
excited when they are put upon exhibition in the
theatre.
The present trick is to engage a woman who
has follower in some man Of more or less So
p!al prominence. and thus to spread abroad sug-
cestions of improper relations between them.
Their names are artfuly coupled together
in order that the public may always be
kept in mind of the association, and
every opportunity is improved to
rekindle scandalous suspicious. The follower is
trotted around in the country with the rest of
the company, and induced to display himself as
conspicuously as possible. for he is relied upon
almost as much as the woman to draw the crowd.
While she is smrering on the stage he is on ex
hibiton in private box, and if some other fool
can be egged on to play the part of rival, so
much the better for the cultivation of the scan
DIAL
Now, it is probable that as matter of fact
the relations of the man to the woman are dis
creditable only on the score of taste. He is apt
to be soft-headed rather than vicious, for veri-
table rakes and libertlnes would hardly consent
TO have their vices paraded before the whole
public for such advertising purposes, however
ready they might be to boast of them in their
would as think of toutine for faro bank
because they gambled among themselves.
We, therefore. think 1t pretty safe to assume
that these followers actually the victims of
All idiotic but innocent, infatuation which the
artful women and their enterprisng managers
stimulate and use for the sake of gain. If they
appealed to the public simply on
their artistic merits. such women might
never get far above the ranks of the
supernumeraries of the theater but as notorious
characters they may be run after for a while,
regardless of their professional capacity. Be-
sides the fools who already dog their heels,
they may get other fools to increase the uproar
over them, even if provision has not been made
in advance for row. in which the original fol-
lower shall be one Of the principals. In fact,
throughout it is what is called putup job
Ali that is, of course, degrading to the stage,
utterly vulgar, and an insult to the public, who
treated as gullible fools with prurient tastes
The purpose is to draw great crowds by cheap
and nasty device; to palm off an indifferent
actress by making her appear to them as a char
acter notorious that they will pay their money
simply to look upon her as specimen of deprav
ty, real or imaginary.
Fortunately, such tricks will not long work.
The people are already beginning to see through
them pretty clearly. 1t remains to be seen how
the Cameron-Lonsdale combination will get
along.

The Bishop and the Boy.

Q.
Bishop wi. Jams. of Connecticut, a man warm
ly esteemed by all sorts and conditions of men,
and even MOI so by children, was making one
of his episcopal visitations aud was the guest of
the rector of the parish he was visiting The
rector, who was rigorous man in the training
of his children, had little boy six years old,
who was great favorite with the bishop and of
whom, in turn, the bishop was much beloved.
On Sunday afternoon the bishop and tie boy
were left alone for while in the rector's study,
and were chatting comfortably.
LET US look at your picture book said the
bishop.
''All right" said the boy
He brought the picture book laid it on the
right reverend lap of his guest, and then went
furtively back and closed the study door.
We'll have to do it on the SLY, bishop, you
know!p said he with grin.
The next Sunday, the historian is told, the
bishop preached a magnificent sermon on the sin
Of over-righteousness.

Architecture as a Profession for Women.
Boston Record.
There is an opening for feminine industry in
certain departments of architectural work which
has, as yet, been little looked at by women. 1t
is not likely that any woman of this generation
will prove herself great in architecture
AS in musical composition, this field has been
occupied by men. The architect needs an I'M
usual combination of qualities to be finely sue
cessful. He must be mathematician aud an
artist In one. He must unto the accuracy and
precision of logical mind with the sensibility
and adaptiveness of an artistic nature. The
training of women has been SUCH that the devel-
opment of this arrangement of talent must neces-
sarily be rarer among them than among men
But it is quite possible for woman who knows
that her tastes and her powers will back
her decision to make up her mind to study
for and to enter upon the architects profession,
hopeful of fair amount of success. In design
ing houses, and in interior decoration, there is
certainly a chance for very remunerative work
for those who fitted for it. The architectural
department at Cornell University is open
to women. and Kansas girl is one
of the best students of the class. A woman in
st. Paul has succeeded in establishing herself in
paying business in house building, The lect-
ures at the Institute of Technology are open to
women. There is no lack of opportunity for the
necessary training to any girl who has the
strength and the talent and the pluck to enter
into this new place.
