THE efforts of Messrs. Voorhees, ant

THE efforts of Messrs. Voorhees, and
Bradshaw to arrange for joint debate
at two or more points in the Territory,
during the present campaign, have, SO
far, proved futile. Mr.. Voorhees, re-
fuses to accept the challenge of the
Republican nominee for joint meet
ings at Seattle and Tacoma, unless
Mr.. Bradshaw will meet him at two
points in Eastern Washington. The
condition is but reasonable, and it is
hoped the Republican rooster will
choose his hill and crow.

AS before stated, he disliked personal
violence, and though he was not dis
posed TO blame himself for what he
had done, he was annoyed at having
had TO fire. His nerves were unstrung,
in fact, and perhaps this was the rea-
son that he felt singularly i'll at ease
and apprehensive of the inquisitiveness
of the police during his homeward

possibly revealed itself in his demeanor

tiou, and gave uubounded satisfaction
to the creditors of Mr.. Facet, who had
thus, almost by a miracle, recovered
most valuable assets. Mr.. Millicent
again made his appval ance in the dock
at the Old Bailey, and, by circums,an-
tial cvid, nee, against which he vigor-
ously protested, he was found guilty OF
the famous burglary. He preferred
to hold his tongue concerning the
manner in which he had acquired the
canvas box, nor did Mr.. Facet come
forward to bear testimony against him.
That gentleman was unable to appear
at the trial, having shot himself rather
badly as it was explained, in car elessly
handling revolver. The prisoner was
observed to smile when this statement
was made; but his expression was the
reverse of hilarious when he was SEN

among his friends, his bankruptcy
turned out very bad speculation, and
he has never lifted his head since.

Nellie Grant,

A Washington specialize the Indian
apolis Journal has the following:
A relative of the Grant family in
this city is authority for the statement
that the married life of Nellie Grant
Sar'oris is far more hunilating aud un-
pleasant than has yet been made pub
lie. Mrs. Sartoris makes her home
with her husbands father, in the north
of England, and according to all ac-
counts, she is treated as sort of poor
relation. Two rooms are set aside for
the use of herself and children, and
their meals are fu nished, but nothing
else is given to them either by her
husband or Mr.. Sartolil, Sr. So far,
indeed, as the younger Sartoris is COLI
cerned, it is said that he has not con.
tributed penny to his wifes support
for years.
1t is well-known fact that for
couple OF years prior to General Grants
death remiltances of mouey were regu-
larly sent to Nellie to provide herself
and children with clothing and other
useful articles. When the General be-
came impoverished through the rascal
lty of Ferdinand Ward, the greatest re-
gret he is said to have expressed was
that his poverty would prevent him
IRON further assisting Nellie,
who was practically supported by his
bounty. All the members of the Grant
family still contribute to the support of
Mrs. Sartoris, and the children have
urged Mrs, Sartoris for years to sepe.
rate from her husband and return to
America. 1t is said that Mrs. Grant
made such a request only few months
ago, after learning of some fresh indig-
nifty on Sartoris' part, but the daughter
replied that she would not entertain
such proposition a moment, and add
ed indignantly that she would refuse to
sustain relations Of any character with
her family if these opportunities did
not cease. Meanwhile Sartoris ia rae.
ing about England spending the
meagre allowance his father gives him
among companions of his own kind.
The reports which reach here from
New York say that Sarto,is has been
absent from his wife since last spring,
and that she hears from him only at
rare intervals.

Indian Gamblers.

For the last two weeks, ever since the
hop picking season commenced, lot of
sharp good looking Indians have been
lOunging about the town. They own race
horses, good clothes, and the showiest of
blankets, and carry plenty of silver. Old
settlers know them well. They are the
gamblers of the Moses tribe, and yearly
make their pilgrimages to this point at the
time when the Yakima and Klickitat In
dians are well provided with money earn
ed by laboring in the hop fields. They
are expert card players-up to al the
tricks-and are not afraid to try their
nerve and skill with the sportive front
iersmen of the north, with whom they
frequently have long sieges of draw"
and oftentimes to their material profit.
To these experienced gamblers the local
siwashes are as children, and loose their
earnings and ponies in a prodigal man
ner. This season is just repetition of
the last and many previous ones, and
Moses men will go home well fattened
with wealth, while the home indian and
money-earner will pass lean and hungry
winter.

She Didn't Want it.

her that made statesmen dive under the
counter when they saw her coming, She
had been travelling Chestnut and Market
streets all day long looking for baby
coach. And such a coach! It must have
all the latest improvements, besides a lot
of other improvements that had never
been patented, much less heard of. A
patent brake was indispensable, as well
as an automatic fan to keep flies from
baby's face. Then she wanted con-

lift it over the cutters, another to stop it.,

British Fishing Industry.

The Pail Mall Gazette says that the
great sea harvest of North Britain has
practically ended. The herring fishing is
closed for the present year, and the re-
suits are published. They are not on the
whole satisfactory. They might be worse,
but they have been much better. Her
rings are perhaps the most capricious
harvest reaped by the toilers of the sea.
1t Is not only that there is always a risk
of bad crop, but there is sometimes risk
of no crop to speak of. The fish are
very CLANCY, and are not subject in their

swim in shoals seem equally unreliable.

The Mormon LeprOSy.
Salt Lake CITY Tribune

The son of polygamist told the writer
Of this, recently, that his father, some
years ago, worked the whole summer
through building a house or barn, for
which in the Fall he received S4OO. Of
course $40 of this went to the tithing fund
Of the rest, $3.50 went to England to bring
out two sisters, whom he married as soon
as they arrived here. He added; "At
that time my little brothers and sisters
and myself had no shoes to wear, no COM
Portable clothing, and not enough to eat.
At the same time the English girls were
stolen from home; they packed their
clothing and sent it off to a neighbors
first; then when their father was absent
they ran away to the coast, leaving a note
which put their father on the wrong track;
| they had timed the performance so there
should be no delays, and when the father,
suspecting their intention, rushed to
Liverpool to intercept their flight, the
ship with them on board had proceeded to
sea. He said further that when his father
was missionary in England neighbor
of theirs sent him $65, with instructions
to pick out some girl who would marry
him and send her over.
The order was obeyed; the woman was
sent out, and on landing went directly to
the house of the man to whom she had been
consigned, as though she were bale of
rags or Norfolk polled heifer. He fur
ther says that such cases are common. and
always have been. This is worse, than i'm

against the creed already in Great Britain.

which he said; Things are very dull here;
this country is done with Mormonism."
The facts will be found out after awhile.
but in the meantime, if no other plan can
be devised to stop importation of Nor

should be taken to make it impossible for
them to acquire homes in the United

Ladies and Steeplechases.
WaShinttnn Critic

You will be surprised at what I am go
ing to say to you," remarked one of the
executive committee to The Critic ram
bier, ''but the steeplechases, which are SO
dangerous to jockeys, are put on the card
in Difference to the wishes of the ladies
who attend the races. So far as the male
patrons of the tracks are concerned, they
prefer the contests on the fiat, and this
is demonstrated by the amounts wagered
in the poolboxes, whereas the steeple-
chases are comparatively poorly patron
lied by the betting fraternity. It is
rare occurrence that pools are sold on a
steeplechase the night before the race,
and the only interest taken seems to be
in the French mutuals few minutes be-
fore the horses start on their perilous
journey across field and fences. Look for
yourself and see the interest taken by the
fair sex in this race" continued the com
mitteeman. "When they were content to
sit comparatively quiet in their chairs
while the Hat races were going on, now
they are to woman standing up, so as
not to miss feature or fall of the iu mp
ers. Some of the racing associations
have eliminated steeple-chases from their
programmes, and the subject has been
freely discussed here of doing the same.
But objections have multiplied from the
ladies against such action on our part,
and majority have declared they will
not go out to Ivy City unles this attrac
ton is is maintained. Therefore we are
compelled to keep up the practice, but if
the men were allowed the say tomorrow
there would be only fat races and occa-
slonally hurdle race on the track to
vary the monotony. Another objection
to the steeplechase is that the riders, fully
cogn1zant of their danger, few minutes
before the start will fill themselves up
with artificial courage in the shape
of race-track whiskey, and many of them
can barely maintain themselves in their
saddles when the starters flag drops.
Then, too, the horses after that fatiguing
run through the field and over the old
clubhouse hill, begin to lag in their exer-
tlons, and by the time the water
jump in front of the grand stand
is reached their wind is nearly gone
and only the gamest sort of an animal
can make the final effort. Yet the ladies
are all eagerness to see this sport, and
you can not coax woman off the stand
until the last jockey has tumbled, and all
the excitement incident to such a race
concluded"
