SOME RACY STORIES
Told by Witnesses in the Now Fa-
nous Barteau Case.

nous Barteau Case.
Some interesting testimony was
brought out in. the Barteau case, on
trial in Judge Kelly's court, yesterday.
In the forenoon number of real estate;
dealers were examined as expert witt
nesses on the value of the property in
yolyed in the case. Mrs. Sarah e. Bar
rett, wife of the late Lawyer Barrett.
was placed on the stand. She said that
she once overheard conversation be-
tween Mrs. Barteau and Mr.. Barrett,
in which the former stated that she
lived unhappily with her husband and
desired to secure q divorce. Mary
Lawler testified that she formerly lived
with Mary Bailey-MrS. Barteau No. 2
She stated that Mrs. B arteau Nos-1
approached her with reference to t his
ease, and intimated that money would
be no object if she would testify that
she had seen Mr., Barteau visit the
Baily woman in her private apart
ments. Mr.. Barteau was again
placed on the witness stand for the pur-
pose of bringing out some racy evil
dence. He said that soon after Mrs.
Barteau went to Europe he wrote her
Il ItlltI III WHICH, iO LOiu liCi tho9 iLO h'tu
ga nice little girl-a young and pretty
widow" He further stated that Mrs,
Bartead replied to the letter, and wrote
that she didn't care it he did keep a
mistress during her absence. 1t was
what she considered a necessity to
man."
In rebuttal, Attorney Bell put the
plaintiff, Mrs. Barteau, one the stand.
She swore that she never wrote any
letter to Mr.. Barteau giving her consent
to his keeping a mistress. She also
swore that she never offered Mary Law
Ter money or anything else TO testify in
this case.
At the close of Mrs. Barteau's testi-
mony the case was adjourned to Satur-
day at O'Clock. The evidence is all in,
and the case will be argued on Satur-
day.

palace purposes crippled our resources,
and. as a matter of fact, there is not a
cent in the treasury at this time. We
had a small surplus from the last
carnival, about $4,000, and this
was used in advertising the city
last winter This we tried to have the
city refund to US, but so far we have
failed. The city council, however,
will be asked to make all appropriation
for carnival purposes, and when the
matter is represented to that body as
we intend to represent it, my impress
sion is that the money will be forth
coming. | have figured that if the cost
were evenly distributed, so that each
taxpayer paid his share of the expense,
the cost to each owner of $1,000 worth
of property would be just II cents. The
entire cost of conducting the carnival
from first to last will be just about $780,
600, and not cent less will be needed.
As to the best place to bl lid the palace.
am in favor of Central park, and OPP
posed to West st. Paul for many rea-
sons. Principal among them is that to
ask people to walk across either of the
bridges in cold weather to the palace is
another name for materially lesSenlng
the attendance. 1t is altogether too
cold trip, and people won't go there as
freely as they would to an uptown site.
| think there is no place so suitable III
every way as Central Park"

"Jocco" Conway bobbed up:in the POI

CRUSHED HIS Uranium.
A Distressing Fatality Caused by
a Fall Through a Shaft.

A distressing accident occurred about
s o'clock yesterday morning in Dyer
Bros musical instrument establish
ment on East Third street, by which
young man lost his life. The unfOr-
tunate was Amory Ongman, the
eighteen-year-old son of Rev. John Ong-
man, of 40 Collins street, pastor of the
First Swedish Baptist church, who was
employed in the establishment as a
polisher. He fell down the elevator
Shaft from the second story, sustaining
a fracture of the skdH, from which he
died within ten minutes. Coroner
Quinn decided that the death resulted
from an accident, for which the de-
ceasd alone was responsibility. The ele-
vator shaft is properly guarded with
safety traps, and while no one saw the
accident. the only reasonable suppose
ton is that the youth slipped and fell
into the shaft in attempting to raise the
trap to throw some sweepings down
into the basement. 1t is evident that
he fell through in the very act of rails
ing the heavy door. as it closed above
him. The body was removed to the
residence of his parents.

A New Custom introduced From

New York Sun.
A group of extensively dressed
women stood in the parlOrs of fash
ionable ladies' costumer on Fifth ave-
nue. the other day, and their flashing
eyes indicated that something had gone
wrong. The eyes were directed toward
a woman who stood little apart from
them and was receiving the eoncen-
trated attention of an Obsequious artist
in lady's attire. There was nothing in
the lady's attire. which was severely
simple in style and fitted her form like
a glove, or in her face, which was no
prettier than New York ladies' faces
usually are, to indicate occasion for an
ger. 1t the reader had stepped nearer
to the group he would have heard these
expressions:

"Dld YOU ever see the lile?'
''And we were here before she came"
"IH just go and complain to the pro-
prietor." "a'r
What had caused the trepidatiOn
among the fair women was the fact that
the attendant had been engaged in an

number and showing them costumes,
but when the stranger entered the par
lOr lie asked to be excused for moment
and had beemtalking with her for fifteen
minutes. The stranger then asked to
see some garments, and the garments
were spread out, but none was pur-
chased. Finally the stranger took from
her pocketbook a greenback of large de-

as she had entered.

of women who proceeded to complain
to the proprietor that the clerk had neg
lected them in a glarlng manner, and
had violated all rules of shopping good
behavior, he replied: ''LadieS, no slight
was intended. The fact is that we have
contracted with that lady to instantly
attend to her wishes at any time she
enters our doors. She is the daughter
of a millionaire IN Connecticut, the wife
of prosperous Broadway merchant,
and lives in Brooklyn. She is rich in
her own right. 1t was her proposition
that she should not be compelled to
wait her turn when she came in, and
for the privilege she was willing to pay

hoping the price would be too ex-
trayagant to pay: and, we furthermore
stipulated that the sum should be paid
at every visit, whether she bought any
thing or not.
Casually" added the proprietor,
''there is an extra clerk or two around
to wait on her, but as there was none to-
day we had to call on the clerk who was
with you. Please accept our apologies"

was related by one of the group of ladies
the proprietor of the place said yester-
day: The custom for paying for eX-
elusive and immediate attention is new

London, where it occasions no surprise.
In democratic country it isn't relished
much, but It is becoming every day
more prevalent, owing, of course, to the

When womens' arms were uncovered in

weather. WOmen's arms have improved
much in the last two Or three gener-

been exposed to wind and weather,
which has made the skin white and

Can a Bob-Tail Dog Swim.

Louisville Courier-JOurnal.
The absorbing question for discussion
among the employees at the short line
depot is whether or not bob-t0il dog
can swim. Monday night several of
the employees went in bathing In the
river, and, on coming out, found bob
tail dog sitting OH the bank watching
their antics, evidently with great inter-
est. The idea occurred to some of them
to throw the animal into the water aud
see him swim out, as it is gem
orally understood that any dog can
swim. But this particular dog could
not, for he sank like stone as soon
as he hit the water. Now. this unfor-
tunate pup had only one eye, and it is
still mooted question among the men
whether its inability to swim was due
to the want of an eye or the want of a
tail. So great is the interest in the
matter that number of bets have been
made and some experiments with
manned dogs are to be made.

TWO FLoUhIsnING FAMILIES.

The Northern Pacific train for the
west yesterday afternoon took out two
rather curious parties on one emigrant
car. The first was German with his
wife and family. The latter consisted
of baby two months old, baby two
years old, a baby three years old, baby
four years old, baby five years old, a
child nine years old, child ten years
old, child eleven years old. child
fifteen years old and a tall girl seven
teen years old. The father was asked
how long he ard his wife had been
married: Just eighteen years." he
replied. He waS.then asked if this was
his whole family, and his reply showed
that it was all that was left of it after
the death of four children. Two of
those who were dead were born be-
tween the births of the nine-yeaT-old
and the five-year-old children, and be-
tween the fifteen and eleven-year-old
came two more, both of whom were
dead. ----.
The second party consisted of Ger
man woman. very much enceinte, a
child one year and a half Old, child two
years and half old, child three years
and a half old and big strapping boy
four years and a half old. The emf
grant car in which the two outfits
travelled seemed to be perfectly swarm
ing with children, and both mothers
were hale and hearty matronS, none the
worse for wear
