The recherche and religious circles OF Bed
Gulch, Arr, are wild y excited over novel
point in ethics. One Of the old established
papers of Red Gulch il. or rather was, The
Dam, which was named after the celebrated
Dead Mans Dam where the local Sunday
school picnics are held. Recently rival pa
per was started in the town, the proprietor
OF which, with that Rsbelais-like humor so
Characteristic of the West, gave il the name
OF The Fool. The newspaper soon began to
outstrip its ancient rival, and bee me especi-
ally popular by calling upon the Presid, MT to
Danish all Mugwumps to the FIJI islands. A
last The Dam made overtures for cOnsOlida-
ton. which we're eeived favOrablV, aud last
week the leading citzens of Red Guch were
Mortified when they received the ri copy of
the consolidated paper, The Red CTulch Dam
Font When taxed with profanity the editors
replied that when two Western papers con-
s0ldated 1t W Is the universal rule to retain
TIE name of each one, connected with ny
phen, and they did not feel at liberty 10 v0-
late that rule. If people saw any profanity
n the name it was because they were pT0fane
themselves. This answer did not satisfy the
objectors, who are circulating petition to
have the name of the paper at least softened
INTO The D1laDhOOI.

An excellent story was current in the Sen
ate Chamber 20 day. Senator Beck was the
central figure IN it. The story indicated the
lmmense, demand for the silver speeches Of
the silver statesman from Kentucky. A let
ter with the words Hon. James" plainly
written and the rest of the address blurred Y

sembe Beck was delivered IN tie mail of
the Kentucky Senator. Upon opening it ne

make out tn. words which translated We're
MY dear James" Passing the letter over to
fellow Senator, he said: 10 at this.
Every nation is calling for my silver speech
The demand is immense from every part o.
this country. Germany wants it Spain has
sent for it. The Italians have written for it,
9na now the French are clamorIng for it,"
The senator addressed took the letter, and.
glancing through II, saw that it was from the
brother Of enator James EustIs to that gen.
seman. The situation was,broken gently to
Senator Beck, butt win be some time before

The attacks which are being made on
Attorney General Garland and Secretary
Lamar are apparently for the purpose of
leading the public away from the real is
sue. What is the IssueS Not that MIR.
Garland aud some other prominent off,
GERS ofthe government obtained telephone
stock for almost nothing, which under
certain circumstances may become inn
mensely valuable, but whether the pat
ents which are now enjoyed by the Bell
Telephone Company, and which consti-
tute that company monopoly, were hon
estly obtained or not. IT, honestly, the
company 50 entitled 70 have its claim to
them respected and protected, but II
iraudulently. there Is no reason why the
public should submit 20 that company's
exactions. Let the real issue be settled
and then IL will be time enough 10 inquire
whether Mr.. Garland ana other promi-
nent officers have done anything for which
they deserve 10 be condemned.

dist Episcopal Church, who became the father
OF girl triplets last Sunday morning, has been
Ia receipt OF scores of letters from All parts of
the country, asking as tn the health and pros
poets of the children and mother. It is need

town have known the exact state OF Affairs
every hour OF the day. The local press has
also been alive TO the honor anu interest of
the event. and the community has been in
formed daily OF the progress OF affairs. And
the best about It all Is That mother and chill
dren are hourishng and getting along as well
"a they possibly can. Last night the rumor
prevailed that Mrs. Dimmick was quite low,
but that Ia cOntradicteI by tO-day's reports

Not far from Robson and Cranes sum-
mer homes at Cohasset there stands in a
shady nook little house of worship, which
both the actors are wont to attend every
summer Sabbath, unless the wind is good
for cruise in Mr.. Cranes yacht. One
bright Sunday morning last summer. while
the birds were chirping in the trees to es-
cape sunstroke ana the sheep and cattle
brOwsed on the tender pasturage or waded
in the brooks to cool off, the comedians.
accompanied by their wives, hitched up their
carryall and drove down to the church.
The members of the congregation are great
admirers of Robson and Crane-who have
lived among them so many years-and are
always disposed to extend them such deli
cate and fattering attentions as a seat in
the amen corner, permitting them to act as
ushers. to pass the contribution box, and
the like.
1t so happened that on this particular
occasion the worthy deacons who offciated
in passing the plates were absent, 50 the
good old pastor from the pulpit kindly
asked: Wont Brothers Robson and
Crane be kind enough to take I'D the regu-
lar missionary offering, while Sister Jones
plays short selection?" The comedians
cheerfully stepped from their seats in the
cool corner, and passed up the aisles with
the round. old-fashiOned boxes so common
in Eastern houses of worship. Not more

passed round her neck. and. she was thus
dragged along the ground into a courtyard,
her head striking the pavement repeatedly.
Then her feet were tied with another rope,
and her hands with a thin string. But the
owner of the courtyard drove her out again,
upon which the mob fastened her by the
rope around the neck to a ring on the closed
door, and by the rope around her feet TO
post opposite. Now she was safe. and
the mob began to mock her, having no
longer any fear. At every movement OF
her body the slip-not frightened. Some one,
rather more humane than his fellows. re-
lieved her of this rope, ON which she fell to
the ground Striking her head against the
edge of the cauSeway. Finally. it entered
the head of the chief policeman to send the
mad one to the insane asylum; and after an
hours delay there arrived one of the wooden
boxes used to transport the cOrpSeS. LII

she was carried off. while for some time

become insane because her husband a

killed on the spot,
