none the less defiant. It does not recede q

The tenor OF the reply was communi'
Gated to the German minister at Berns

gent orders for the scrutiny travellers Cross

these regulations are reprisals and declares
that they are due. to the directions OF the

Swiss government ia probably strengthened
by q knowledge that Bismarck's menacee

Color as an Indication of a3ameness in

horses color was an index to his game

have had an opportunity to Judge, having
performed thousands OF operations on
horses. some OF them sufficiently painful to
test the gameness OF tie subject. have
found that the most arrant towards among
horses are sorre 8. and the gamest bay or
browns. Some time ago l performed an
operation on pair OF chestnut sorrels, and
they groaned like human beings. A bay or
brown will usually suffer without noise
OF any kind, just rolling it's big eyes in an
appealing way which is almost human in
it's intensity. Gray, and white horses as
rule are not particularly game.

Woman Suffrage in England.

The appeal to parliament in the Mine
teenth Century" for June against the en-
actment OF a woman-suffrage law, and
signed by Mrs. Humphrey Ward and others,
has had tie effect Of producing food Of
papers on the subject in nearly all the
English reviews for July. Most OF them
favor woman suffrage, though the other
side is also represented. The London
"Tines' is out against the movement and
it looks as though fair start had been
made for prolonged discussion. Among
the women who sign q paper in opposition
to Mrs. Ward and her sympathizers are
Frances Power Cobbe and the wives OF the
Archbishops OF Canterbury and York and
others OF distinction, forming much more
formidable list than the anti-suffragist pre-
sented.

graph Line Miss Fannie M. Vandervort
employed in the law Office OF Col. /. D. Nc
Cutcheon, was probably fatally shot to-
day by carelessness at about p. m.
Arthur McCutcheon, aged 16, recent
graduate OF the Poughkeepsie Military
Academy, was there on q visit, and he
and Miss vandervoort were in the library
OF the law Office, where Miss vandsrvoort
usually performed her work. He was
showing her q pistol which he had just
cleaned. She asked him to let her see It.
He held IL ont tow ard her, and when she
reached to taksit tsasinsiy drew II back.
She said:
"oh, II you won't let me SEQ It, you need
not"
He again reached 1t out to her. when,
with quick motion, she grasped the pis.
tol, a self-cocking one, a 32.calibre Smith
b Wesson, double action. and it was dis.
charged.
The two had been on the most friendly
terms.
Young McCutcheon Immediately surren-
dered himself to the authorities, and was
admitted to bail in the sum of 81, 900.
Examination was cot for Monday.
While the doctors were over Miss Van.

showed it in the Office and was cautioned
to be careful by several persons.

the brain and lodged near the scalp an inch
and a half back of the right ear. The ball
was removed. after which the girl was con.
veyed to the hospital, when the eye, which
bad already protruded from the socket,
was taken out. Physicians have slight
hopes Of her recovery and think she will lin
ger a few days. -
Col. McCutcheon and son are terribly

the legislature. She is 10 years Of age and
is generally considered the most beautiful
girl in Helena. She came here from Mime.
