These modern romances of American
girls and foreign noblemen cannot match
tho alliance of forty years ago-the ia
nous marriage of the old Count de Bo-
disco, the Russian minister, and Miss Har-
riet Williams, the Georgetown beauty.
He was old and decrepit. 1t is said that
he wore "plumpers" in his checks and
dressed his poor, broken old form 30 that
he looked like a man Of 40 after he saw
the beautiful school girl Mt her fathers
house In Georgetown. For she was a
school girl-only 14-when he married
her. He sent her TO Europe to finish her
education and when she came back she
was the most beautiful woman in Amer
lea. A magnificent, fair woman, with
golden hair and brown eyes, was this
young wife Of the old Count dc Bodisco.
After leaving here her husband returned
to Russia and she became the reigning
belle Of st. Petersburg.
More pathetic than this story, for II
was surely pathetic for q girl of IA to
marry a man Of 10, was the story of her
sister, Miss Fannie Williams. At the
time Count de Bodisco was minister he
had with him as attaches two nephews
of the same name, who in his last hours
he acknowledged rs his illegitimate sons.
One of these nephews loved the sister of
his Incompatible aunt. The Count de
Bodisco claimed that the Russian law
forbade such IN intermarriage, and the
two were separated. She went to st.
Petersburg with her beautiful sister, be-
came engaged to q Russian nobleman,
and on the eve of her marriage was found
dead, with the ivory miniature of her
first lover In her hand. The tales of the
old days are best.-Chicago Tribune.

HOW IT Will BE DONE.

With the desire to keep u Republican
friends well informed of what they may
reasonably expect in the near future from
the Harrison administration, we clip the
following interesting paragraph from the
Washington correspondence OF the Oma-
ha Bee: "A senator from an Eastern
state applied to the postmaster general
for a definition of the policy he proposed
to adopt in making removals, and was
told whenever charges are made against
the incumbent by a senator or representa-
tive showing that said incumbent is unfit
to perform the duties of the office, such
charges would be considered sufficient
cause for removal, and the removal will
be made upon the responsibility of a
member of congress. II the postmaster
is shown TO have used his office for the
promotion of the interests Of a political
party or TO secure the elevation of one
candidate over another, he may be con-
sidered an offensive partisan and removed
for that cause.

knew what policy the department had
adopted with regard to appointments;
whether they would adopt the recon-
mendation of a member of congress in

VIII shoot Over Ten NrIle..

A st. Louis shoemaker named Custer
has applied for a patent on a remarkable
gun. The inventor will not display the
affair itself, as he believes it to be 1.-THE
coming gun" but from the drawings and
obscure description offered by the owner
a vague idea can be CLEANED.
Tho gun is a smooth bore, very similar
to a Martini-Henry rifle, and hammer
less On the left hand side Of the breech
block Is a magazine containing cartridges
SO arranged that On firing the recoil Of
the charge opens the breech, at which a
spring presses a fresh cartridge into
place.
But the popularity lies in the cartridge
and the rear end of 1t. A very light
charge sufices to start it.
After it has gone but q few rods the
extreme rear one of a series of secondary
charges explodes, giving the missile re-
newed impetus. These explosions are
continued until the series is exhausted
or the ~projectile has reached its object.
Tho advantages claimed for this odd
weapon are that n much lighter gun can
be used and hat greater execution can
be wrought, besides getting longer range,
as he claims a bullet can be fired ten
miles, and even further, according to the
number of proPelling charges, always
providing that nothing gets in the way.
1t requires n 81 inch cartridge for n ten
mile trip, and one-quarter inch addi-
tional for each subsequent mile. One
thing that has always been a source of
annoyance TO gunners is surmounted by
this, the trajectory.
The projectile, in place of making a
bee line, has heretofore described an arc,
necessitating raised sights" for long
distance shooting, MS the continuous
force of gravity would drag the bullet
downward below n direct line to the tar
get.
Tho inventor claims that his system of
relays, acting as they do as instantaneous
forces, overcome the continuous and
cause the missile to move directly to the

and then proceeded to scuttle it, ''you have
learned the art of war by watching me do up

MIST THROW Up.

One Of the things for which the Repubh-
can Senators who held Office in 1885 were
incensed against President Cleveland
was his refusal to give them reasons for
the suspension of Republicans and the ap-
pointment of Democrats in their places
MIR. Harrison was a member of the Senate
at the time, and he not only supported
Senator Edmunds in his attempt to eXtort
reasons from the executive, but made a
speech on the subject of sudden and unex-
planned removals in which he introduced
the pathetic story about Mrs. Isabella De
La Hunt, whom he has just set aside in
order to appint more active and effective
partisan at the Connection postoffice.
Since the removal of Chief Justice Sand
ford of Utah an effort has been made TO
obtain from the department of justice the
reasons to which Attorney General Miller
referred when he wrote Judge Sanford
that there are on file in this department
some papers complaining of the manner in
which judicial duties are discharged
1t was assumed that if there were such
complaints on file, it would be fair thing
to Judge Sanford, who courts the utmost
publicity of the charges, and to the Presi-
dent, who has the utmost adherence If
his own words are to be believed, of
''trumped up charges against anybody,
be he Democrat or Republican, to give the
public an account Of the complaints. 1t is
hardly credible that the President will
attempt to justify to the Senate his removal
of Judge Sanford because Attorney Gen
eral Miller was sOimprudent as to attribute
TO the President the responsibility of saving
that Judge Sanford was removed because

1t was long ago decided that pun had only
to be bad enough and it thereby became
very good, and in point is an instance which
is told of Boston artist resident abroad. He
came home one night after his wife had re-
tired, and in his endeavor to light the gas,
pulled of match after match, as he supposed,
from a card of lucifers, scratching them with
out effect other than the loss of his temper
At length he gave it up and found fresh lot
of matches, with which he succeeded in get
ting light. In the morning his slulnber was
rudely broken by the voice of his better half,
who had risen and was making her toilet
what in the world" she exclaimed, shave
you been doing to my comb! You have
broken more than half the teeth out of it.
Eyes, my dear" he answered unabashed,
land that was because tooth was mightier
than friction" 1t must be evident that there
was nothing more to be said after that

IT DIDN'T COME OFF.
The Examination of Sheriff De La
Hare Postponed.
DEFENDANT RELEASED on BONDS.
Carter Still III Guest of Tribune Stock-District
Police and Probate Court Matters
Mr.. Peters Report.

Yesterday morning was the time set fol-
the examination of Sheriff De La Mare
who shot and killed w. J. Ryan, the horse
man, at Garfield Beach, a week ago, while
in the act of placing him under arrest, fol-
disturbing the peace and threatening tc
shoot, the particulars of which have here
tofore appeared in The HERALD. Mr.
Peters appeared in behalf of the govern
ment, while the defendant was represea-
ted by p L. Williams and Joseph L. Raw
Inns
There were quite large number OF wit
nesses and spectators present.
Mr.. Peters, however, stated that under
the circumstances the government felt
compelled to ask delay OF few days. A
few minutes before coming into
court. he had been informed that
there were two or three more
eye-witnesses of the affair, who were not at
present within reach, and it was quite de
sirable that they should be present before
the case was commenced. In the mean
time he had no objection to the bail being
fixed and the defendant released.
Mr. RaWlirs was ready to proceed. All
the witnesses on the part of the defense
had been summoned and were in attend
ance. He would rather proceed at once
and end the matter.
MIR. Peters, however, insisted on delay.
There was to be a change in the of1ce Of
district attorney sOon-he supposed within
a few days his successor would qualify.
Whether he did or not, however, he (Peters)
should leave for Ohio on Saturday next.
1t was essential, Also to the prosecution
that the delay be granted.
The commissioner decided to grant the re
quest, and the case went over until Thurs
day, July %, at 10 am, at which hour and
day all the witnesses were notified to be on
hand. At the suggestion of MIR. Peters,
bail was fixed at 5000. The bonds were
signed by Messrs W. w. Ritter and James
Sharp and the defendant was released.
