Miss Berda Hoffman, of Chicago, is
beautiful and attractive. but one is likely
to forget this when he learns that she is
also swindler. During the last six months
she has bought 1000 worth of goods from
one firm in Chicago, and 5000 worth from
another, although she had no intention of
ever paying for them. Her plan was this:
She represented herself as being the daugh-
ter Of wealthy Chicagoan then in Europe,
and on the strength of such representation
she obtaioed $500 worth of goods, the bill
being sent to her alleged fathers house. AS
he was away, no objec ton was made to it.
and on various other occasions the young
lady made other bills, and it was not until
she went to another house and tried to play
the same trick, only representing some one
else as being her father, that she was found
out. She made fiat denial when charged
with the crookedness, but the officers
brought her around by going to her trunks
and taking out quantities of the goods she
had fraudulently obtained

The Montana ! legislature will convene
next Saturday to elect United States SEN
ators, but it is safe TO say that it will not
be organized that day, and perhaps the
limit of the session will expire without an
organization being effected. The Senate is
a tie, but the lieutenant governor, whose
duty it is to preside over it and to cast the
deciding vote, is republican. The House
is composed of twenty-eight democrats aud
twenty-six republicans, if the votes from
Silver Bow county are counted; otherwise
it is republican. OF course there can be no
joint session until both branches are organ
lied, and no quorum can be obtained in
either branch if all the members of either
party remain away. In case no senators
are elected at the expiration of three
months, the governor, who is democrat,
will appoint them. The duty of the dem
ocrats is very plain. They should prevent
an organization, unless the Silver Bow re-
turns are counted. The republicans threw
out enough votes from that county to gain
the legislature. They did it fraudulently,
and the democrats should use all means in
their power to prevent them from consum-
mating their scheme.

The Sunday Barroom Question.

The interview with the mayor published
in the MORNING NEWS yesterday, relative
to the enforcement of the ordinance re-
curing barrooms to be closed on Sunday,
does not show any decided purpose on his
part to make an effort to enforce the ordi-
nance He said that his predecessors did
not succeed in enforcing it. That may be
true, but their failure is no excuse for his
failure to make an effort to enforce it. He
knows very well that there is a very general
desire throughout the city that it shall be
enforced, and that he shall use all means
in his power to enforce it.
He must be mistaken when he says that
he has no power to require person, brought
before him for being drunk on Sunday, to
tell where and when he obtained the whisky
that made him drunk. A prisoner would
not criminate himself by telling where he
bought whisky, because it is not an offense
against an ordinance or q statute to buy
drink of an intoxicating beverage on Sun
day.
But the mayor does not appear to have
taken the trouble to find out whether any
one of those arrested for drunkenness on
Sunday was willing to tell where he got
whisky. If ne were anxious to find evidence
against the Sunday barroom offenders it is
probable that he would have no difficulty
in doing so. If he thinks differently, let
him test the matter by giving instructions
to the police to arrest the proprietors of
every barroom found open on Sundays, and
by asking all those who are arrested for
being drunk on Sunday where they got in
toxicating beverages on that day. He will
probably be surprised &C the amount of
evidence against the Sunday barroom
offenders that he will get. If he refuses to
take any such step he will place himself in
the position of not wanting to close the
barrooms on Sunday.

Acting Psssmnsser General Clarkson
States The Facts ~ to That Atlanta
Apy0Inimsnt which Has Caused
50 Much Excitement.

WASHINGTON, Aug, ia re-
porter Of the Associated Press called
on Acting Postmaster General Clark
son to-day for information in regard
to the appointment Of a Negro clerk
by the new postmaster at Atlanta,
Ga, General Lewis, which resulted
in much excitement and the burning
in effigy of Postmaster Lewis and
General Buck, a leading Republican
Of the State.
General Clarkson said: "The sto
ry, as it was printed in the Atlanta
papers and sent North, was to the
effect that Postmaster Lewis had ap-
pointed a Negro clerk and assigned
him to duty at the same desk with a
young white woman. The real facts,
however, are these:
"After General Lewis appoint
ment as postmaster one of the ..regis
try CLERKS resigned. The postmas-
ter then appointed Charles 9. Pen
ny, colored, who stood at the head Of
the civil service list of eligibles, as
he was compelled by the law to do
He was assigned to work in the reg
istry division; not in the same room
with the young lady, but in another.
This young lady and her father,
who was superintendent of the re-
gistry division, and had the assign
ment Of the clerks, both resigned
simply because Negro had been
appointed to a place in the office,
and not because an attempt had been
made to place Negro at the same
desk with the young lady. From
this grew all the trouble in Allan ia,
and the effort to utilize the incident
for party prejudice.
''The insincerity Of this cry now is
shown by the fact that there were
five Negro clerks in the Atlanta
Postoffice under the Democratic post
master, and for six years a young
white lady has been at the stamp
window selling stamps to all people,

"There is nothing in the matter
for the department to act upon. and
there is nothing in action of Post
master Lewis to be criticized by fair
minded people. Instead Of doing
anything violently against the South
ern prejudice toward Negroes, the
postmaster sought, in making the ap
pointment, to obviate any ground fol
objection on account Of such preju-
dice.

many of our efficient men are among
