The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1889-11-02
Three weeks ago q LADY arrived a

watchful eye of the city marshal,
there would, no doubt, have been an
announcement of wedding IN high
life before the winter was over. But
the marshal played the detective,
and as a consequence, the young
lady was given a suit of mems
clothes and told to wear them until
she could prove beyond doubt
that she was not man. The strang-
est part of it is that the woman, or
rather man, greatly resembles Tas-
colt, the Chicago murderer, and he
will be held until the chief of police
of that city can be consulted with.
SENSIBLE JOHN JASPER.
A dispatch from New York says
that the action of a number of ne
gro ministers in signing an address
to members of their race, urging
them to vote for certain candi-
date, has created an intense excite
ment, which was intensified by the
declaration of Rev. John Jasper,
the famous "sun do move" preacher
and pastor Of Mount Zion Church.
Mr.. Jasper, who, since the enuncia-
ton of his solar theory, has been
brevetted Doctor by his admirers,
said, in explaining why he did not
sign the circular: "My mission here
on earth is to preach gospel truth,
and I have no time going to and
fro in this land making speeches
and mixing up with politics. l am
trying te serve God and teach the
scriptures. am a republican, what
used to be called a radical. The
church is no place for politics, as
it is the house Of the living God,
and l have never allowed politics to
be brought into my church. When
l am away some of my brethren
may get up and give their views,
but they don't do it when l am
there. The duty Of a minister of
the gospel is to serve God on high
and to save souls"
THE HUNTINGTON WEDDING.
The marriage of Miss Clara Hunt
ington, daughter of one of Califor-
MAS millionaires, and Prince HAITI
feldt, which took place in London
last Monday, has caused volumes
of comments and criticisms to be
uttered on both sides of the ocean,
and on both sides of the question,
as we'll. A London dispatch last
week lauded all the parties con-
cerned to the skies. But the most
of the accounts are anything but
complimentary to the Prince, and
the stories told of him are anything
but savory. A late London special
to the New York World says that
this marriage will secure enough
American cash to pay the Princes
expensive indebtedness in most of
the capitals of Europe. Prince
hatfield has been for years a pro-
fessional fortune hunter, and now
he is merely selling his title for
dollars. There is little sentiment in
his marriage; it seems to be a purely
business transaction. It will be
we'll for the bride if she finds the
happiness in gratiied ambition that
most girls expect and realize from
the presence of tenderer sentiment
than that involved in barter of
title of Princess" for millions of
money" The name of the Prince
has been booked in the matrimo-
NAL agencies of Berlin, Paris and
London for many years, with prom
Uses of liberal reward in case of
success. His reputation as a spend
thrift and as a professional and
daring gambler is the same in all
the capitals of Europe as in Paris,
where he is probably better known
than elsewhere, because that city
has been for years the center of his
field of operations. The most of
his escapades are matters of police
record. An American lady who
lives in Paris and who knows thor
oughly both London and Vienna,
said to a World correspondent II
have often heard the Prince spoken
of in drawing-rooms as being the
worst man in Europe; one story
being currant that he borrowed
100000 to carry on his suit with
Miss Huntington and to follow her
to AK when she went there with
Mrs. Sherwood.
SENATOR sTEWARTs soN-IN-LAw.
A family scandal was exposed in
San Francisco a few days ago, in
court, when United States Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, was cited to
show why he should not be pun
ished for contempt for failing to
allow his son-in-law, A. w. Fox, to
see his three children. Fox and
his wife have been divorced several
years, and the children have been
cared for by the Stewards. Fox
filed a sensational affidavit, in which
he makes various charges against
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart. Mrs. Stewart
testified that Fox was worthless
