Seduction Case.

Special to the Globe.
SEATTLE, w. T., Feb. 26.-The SEN
sational Wickersham seduction case,
which has occupied the attention of the
district court the past week, closed to-
night with a verdict of guilty. The
prosecutrix was Sadie Bratnen, of Ia
coma, a prepossessing young lady of
nineteen, whom Wickersham, then
probate judge and prominent poll
tician of Pierce county, brought to
Seattle in the fall of 1887 and seduced.
r. F. Roddebaugh, editor of
the Tacoma Ledger, and Bit
ter personal enemy of Wicher-
sham, was charged by him with
completely in the crime, but his share in
the ruin of the lady was not proven.
Drs. Brown and Miller, two prominent
physicians of Tacoma, were charged
during the trial with abortion, per.
formed on the prosecutriX, and they
will be arrested and tried for the crime.
Wickersham, Immediately after the
verdict of guilty was returned, was
again arrested on the charge of sub
ornation of perjury committed in in
ducing witnesses to swear falsely on
the stand. The high standing of all
parties concerned has made the case one
of great interest throughout the North
west.

legatees and creditors of the late E. A.

the advisability of issuing letters testa-

Land Offices Closing Up.

EAU CLAIRE, Feb. 26.-Notice was
received at the local United States land
office yesterday that the La Crosse
and Sioux Falls land offices, just abol-
ished by executive order. would close
up their business the 2Sth inst, and
would forthwith forward their records
and archives to the Eau Claire Office.
The new Eau Claire district will cover
one-third of the state of Wisconsin. The
st. Croix Falls territory embraced Bur-
nett, Polk, st. Croix, Pierce and parts
of Barron, Dunn, Washburn and Pepin
counties. The La Crosse territory en-
braced all the Southwestern part of the
state, below the southern lines of Eau
Claire and Clark counties. There had
been very little business at the La
Crosse Office for several years, even
after the Mineral Point Office had been
abolished and its territory attached to
that of La Crosse. The addition of
these two districts to the Eau Claire
Jurisdiction will, however. keep up the
Eau Claire Office for several years and
make it worth about 81, 800 year each
for register and receiver. There is
some discomfort at st. CrOiX Falls over
the abolition of that office, but there is
little ground for it, as the Office, in the
opinion of the majority of those who
have had business in that district,
should not have been located there in
the first place on account of the diff
Guilty of convenient access to it from
any part of the district.

LA CROSSE, Feb. 26.-The Washing
ton dispatch which appeared in several
papers Saturday last, that the La Crosse
bridge bill had been killed, caused some
uneasiness here, although it was be-
lieved to be mistake, which was
proven correct by the president signing
the measure yesterday. The error un-
doubtedly grew out of the withdrawal
of former bill, which was not salts
factory. and for which the one just
passed was substituted. A bill OF
similar tenor became law in the Wis
consin legislature to-day, and Mayor
Austin is in st. Paul. hoping to get the
required charter from Minnesota with

aldermen will leave on bridge inspec-
ti0n tomorrow. Engineers are at work

unless something wholly unforeseen
transpires, the long-desired wagon
bridge is an assured fact.

A Chance for Big Returns.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Eiitor Critici
There is one business enterprise which will
pay capitalists in Washington much better
than planting their money in suburban lots,
and that is in the erection Of large fire and
vermin-proof storage warehouse. In the
matter OF cold storage the Centre Market
provides sufficient facilities Of the best
character, and our safe depositaries can
protect and care for many articles OF value,
such as silverware and other small house
hold effects; but there are no buildings in
Washington, such as exist In other cities,
suited specially for the safe storage OF gem
ersl household goods and other large and
valuable species of personal property.
There is no community in America where
there is so much demand fore fire proof and
commodious storage warehouse as in Wash
ngton. The population of no other city in
the country is subject to so so many tenn
porary changes OF domicile, and suitable
warehouse for the storage Of personal ef-
fects, conducted on comprehensive bust
ness plan, would pay investors in such q
structure big returns besides filling much
needed want. II. VI. D.

GAsTRoNoMIo SENTIMENTS.

fJunius Henri Browne, in an article in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat gives the fol-
lowing sentiments as coming from French
gastronomes:l
The appetite constitutes the man.
Sauces attest the genius of the cook.
A touch Of garlic often saves feast.
Great cooks, like true poets, are created.
Gluttony consists In six mouthfuls too
much.
The process OF digestion Is the science of
morals.
A dinner without wine is fit for q savage
only.
dinner without flaw is consummate
work Of art.
Tell me what you eat, and III tell you
what you are.
Earth furnishes provisions, but Heaven
sends cooks.
When Careme is cook your conscience ia
absolved.
He who has dined well is companion
for heroes.
All cooking is barbarous that excludes
onions and lemons.
The secret Of happiness must be sought
within the kitchen.
A woodcock properly dressed is triumph
Of culinary art
Human life should be indexed by the best
meals one has eaten.
| You must not expect nice sense Of honor
from a gross feeder.
Delicate sensibilities are regulated by the
quality Of ones food.
The final touch which makes dish per-
feet is always an inspiration.
A bad cook should serve as atonement for
any amount Of wickedness.
Atthe crisis in a mans fate the quality OF
his food makes or mars him.
1t is better to go without religion than
the earliest vegetables Of the season.
1t Is never safe to admit that your appe-
lite is good until you know where you are
! to dine.
Napoleon lost the battle OF Waterloo aud
the control Of Europe because he had bad
| dinner.
Unfolding the napkins on well-ap-
pointed table is like the faint rustic of the
leaves Of paradise.

ENGLAND AND CANADA.

The New York San of yesterday con-
tanned great deal of interesting litera-
ture on the subject Of the annexation of
Canada to the United States. Mr..
Blakely Hall, than whom 1t would be
difficult to find better man for the
work, has interviewed great num-
Der Of British statesmen on imperial
federation, and has in each instance
asked the question Would Canada
meet with opposition from the mother
country should she wish TO join the
United StatesY
The concensus of opinion among the
leading Englishmen who expressed
themselves is thai, should Canada wish
TO leave England and join fortunes with
the great Republic she would be allowed
TO depart peaceably. The scheme of
imperial federation, with an imperial
parliament In which all colonies would
be represented, does not seem to have
yet attained much dignity in England
Talk concerning it IS vague and unsat-
isfactory. The present relations be-
tween England and her English speak
Ing dependencies promise TO continue
as they are for long time to come, the
only probable change in sight being
that Of relations with Canada, Thai
country may enter upon a new career.
