THAT W. CT. U. SPLIT.
A Plan Of Reorganization for
Iowa.
A STATEMENT BY MRS. FOSTER.
Another Temperance Organization
Will Be the Outcome
Partisan Question.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-At a meeting Of
the executive board Of the w. G. T. U.
to-day, at which Miss Willard presided,
the bolt of the Iowa delegation was dis.
cussed. Mrs. l.. ID. Carhart of Marion,
Iowa, was installed as provisional
member in place of tho bolter. Tho
board adopted plan of reorganization
for Iowa.
THE NoN-PARTIsANS.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, speaking this ev-
ening of the withdrawal of the Iowa del
egation from the w. G. r. U. convention
last night, said that the members deeply
regretted being compelled to take such
course but none other was left open to
them. They are still constitutionally
auxiliary to the national union and must
remain so until the next annual meeting
of the Iowa society. The committee to-
day appointed by the non-partisau
women will begin aggressive work at
once. They will make no war upon the
old society, and wish 1t success in its
many lines of Christian work. They
aver, however, that a large number OF
women wish to do legitimate temperance
work and will not consent to the mort.
gage of their political influence.
Hundreds of ministers who can not
give their support to partisan organi.
zation have urged us to the step we have
taken," added Mrs. Foster. "For my
self, expect our action will greatly
modify the partisan course of the ma
tional union. Lines of partissnship and
n-partisanship being definitely drawn
will force many women TO think crit
ically and come to logical conclusions"

EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.
How Yakima Man Paid an
Election Bet and Entertained
a Crowd.
A Bungling Barber and an Angry
Swain Neither Wife, Maid
Nor Widow.

On Saturday afternoon at 3;45 o'clock,
Landlord Charles Edward Smith, of the
Hotel Yakima, says the Herald, attired
in long linen duster, n natty tourist $
cap and very determined look on his
face, walked to the street In front of his
caravansary, spat on his hands and laid
hold of q wheelbarrow on which reposed
the form of Attorney Robert Bruce
Milroy, son of General X. A. Milroy of
Olympia. The Yakima band was there
clat in their attractive uniforms of blue
and gold, and promptly with the appear
ance of Mr.. Smith they formed in line,
struck up "O'Donohue's Wake" and
marched to the depot and back, followed
by Mr.. Smith with his wheelbarrow,
which was still occupied by Mr.. Milroy.
The perfection of the day showed that
Providence Smiled OH the proceedings,
and Yakima avenue was thronged with
people, who applauded, shouted and
hlizzahed AS the novel procession took its
course along AS Colonel Taggard' sand
several other places flags were brought
forth and waved, and the day was cele-
brated in various ways. The parade was
the result OF an election bet, in which
Mr.. Smith backed his opinion that
Elisha u. Ferry would not receive u
majority of 1900 votes over his demo-
cratic opponent; and as his estimate
proved too low, he paid his wager as
recorded.

A BUYGLING BARBER.

Last Saturday a young man came over
from the Willapa, says the Astorian, to
keep an appointment with his best girl.
He called in at barber shop the first
place on arriving in town. lie asked the
barber If dyeing his whiskers a dark
color Cthey were sandy) would improve
his looks. The barber said he thought 1t
would, and the operation was proceeded
with. But when the job was finished
the dye was all over him. His neck was
as black as ink a considerable distance
from the whiskers, so were his checks
and temples. This was not all. The
barber attempted to take out the dye
from his skin by putting on some kind
of acid, and the poor fellows pains be-
gan. His neck and face burned as If or
fire, his lips swelled and he was in ter
rible state and the maddest man in AS
toria. He could not call on his girl, and
no doubt she was disappointed, and he
left in disgust for his woodland home,
convinced that it is not wise to improve
upon natures gifts.

NEITHER WIFE, MAID NOR WIDOW.

Tacoma News: The patient-faced lit
tie woman who is neither the wife nor
the widow of G. G. Grant, murderer
Latin's victim, still clings to his name
and finds it hard to give it up. The
names of Matte Grant and Matte
Witness, Spokane Falls" were written
on the register of the Gandolto hotel this
morning. Matte Grant came over from
Spokane Falls accompanied by her sister.
She likes to be in the city where the
man who called her wife breathed his
last. She has hopes that Mrs. Grant No.
will yet fail to prove herself his lawful
wife, and that she will come In for at last
share of his property. The young
woman had established herself in the
millinery and dressmaking business and
had built up good trade, when she
gave II up because Grant wanted her to,
after they were married. Matte Grant
and her sister are thinking of starting "a
little business in Tacoma if they can
find Suitable quarters. 1t is understood
that the sisters have friends and relatives
in Portland who will furnish the neces-
sary money. She does not want to en-
gage IN millinery or dressmaking. A
candy and confectionery business will be
moro to their taste.

lars In Twelve Years.
A medium-sized. middle-aged man,
with an iron-gray mustache and off
hand ways, though of few words, ar
rived here the other day over the Cali
fornia and Oregon road. He is a man
who has made great deal of a stir
in half dozen Territories and States
of the West, and is yet doing it, and is
talked about great deal.
The quiet, unassuming man was Den

mine owner His family are with him.
and will remain all winter, but Mr..
Ryan himself will stay but a short
time.
Mr.. Ryan has led a strangely check
cred life. Up to 1876, it is said, hs had
no money at all, and had the hardest
kind OF work to get along.
In that year, while toiling as conf
mon miner, he struck it rich in the
Rebel mine. one hundred miles from
Phoebe, in Nevada, and sold out for
$1,000,000.
This seemed like vast sum to Mr..
Ryan, but he wanted more, and he put
a good many thousand dollars in the
Horn Silver trying to develop it, and
at last he and Matt Connolly, who were
equal owners, opened an immense ore
body, and sold out to an English
company, represented by Sir Charles
franklin, for So, 100000.
With this vast capital Mr.. Ryan went
to Montana and secured some of the
best mines there, and worked them at
profit. He also secured large con-
tracts for building the Northern Pa
cific railroad. and he has also been
identified with other railroad schemes,
notably with the road projected from
Billings to Cook City, in Yellowstone
National Park.
He also began and completed the big
Ryan hotel in st. Paul, which is the
wonder OF the Northern prairie regions.
This hotel is variously estimated to
have cost from 81. 800. 900 to 81. 900, 900.
Mr. Ryan is now engaged with other
capitalists in building a large smelter
at Tacoma for the reduction of Wash
ington Territory and Idaho ores. Mr..
Ryan was met bv an [Examinerl repre-
sentative, but he hesitased to go into
particulars in regard to this or other
Western enterprises in which he is en-
gagged, saying that for business reasons
he preferred to say nothing. He
thought from their commercial loca-
tions that Tacoma and Seattle would
be cities of considerable Importance

A SHREWD ADVENTURES.

How a Woman Lived High tho
Strength of Bogus Representations.
A curious swindling case has just come
before the correctional police. A young
woman named Marie Bigot. who APP
peared in court wearing velvet mantle
richly trimmed with fur, was charged
with obtaining 13,00of, besides board
and lodging, from Paris hotel-keeper
by false pretense5. About q year ago
Marie Bigot went to the hotel and en-
gagged rooms for herself and her most
intimate friend. whom she said was M.
Bozerian, Senator of Nice. The hotel
being situated in part of Paris not
much frequented by persons of distinc-
ton, the proprietor was delighted at
the prospect of having. a Senator to
stop with him. Marie Bigot was sup
piled with the best OF every thing. She
is said to have been ''made as happy
as O. rat in Dutch cheese" The hotel
keeper was one OF the most credulous
of men; he advanced Marie money
whenever she asked for it. always be-
lieving that the Senator would make
the account right when he came. But
months went by and still NJ. Bozerian
did not appear. The hotel keeper had
however, the satisfaction of believing
that he was in regular correspondence
with him. The letters always being
given to Marie to post she read them
and wrote replies oraitily worded so as
TO buoy up her dupe's hopes and allay
any suspicion he might have. Although
these letters were posted in Paris the
absence OF the Nice postmark was not
observed. The tradesman one day re-
ceived photograph which he sup
posed to be NJ Bozerian's but it was in
reality that of the painter Gervex. At
length it was discovered accidentally
that NJ Bozerian was living in Paris
and it was shown that he was in COM
plete ignorance Of all that had been
done in his name. Marie Bigot was
arrested and she has just been SEN
fenced to three years imprisonment

How could hnlpit? Wewere standing there
A German waltz vas playing in the hall
He drew the shade. to let the starlight in,
And folded on my neck II feecy shawl.
His touch was like d womaH and his voice
Broke thro' the music soft and sweet to hear,
l bent my head to listen to him there
Now, could help it-when he stood so near?
And then. somehow-you see, what could do?
His eyes so dark and deep were looking down;
He whispered low my NAME and took my hands,
Then leaned and kissed the lace upon my
gown.
How could hclpit? Tell me, now, pray:
With every one out dancing in the hall.
And then. before l thought, the words were
said.
He asked me if loved him. That was all!
How could help it? While the music played,
He dropped my hand and slowly turned away,
With sha ows dark across his handsome face,
And Just one rose, from out my big bouquet,
Crushed in my hand-and then l was alone
meant to call-to ask him not to go.
He writes-they say, A comic weekly fiend;
How could help it-that told him-No!

RusslA's GREAT SECRET.
How Marshall Jewell Stole Their Method
of Making Leather.

How Marshall Jewell stole Their Method
&c., of Making Leather.
In one of the stores on Broadway
lately, 1 noticed some fine Russian
leather goods OF various kinds, and was
tempted through curiosity to take q
closer look at them.
why is it," l asked the proprietor,
''that these goods can not be manu-
featured in this country as well as in
Russia"
.Bless your heart" he said, 'these
goods are made right here in this
country, and neither Russia nor any
other place can make them any better.
You see, for long while Russia en-
joyed monopoly at this sort of work
until Connecticut Yankee happened
on the scene and caught on, so to
speak, to the secret of it's manufacture.
This leather was manufactured in
large factory situated in one of tho
towns of northern Russia. The owners
possessed some secret about curing the
leather, which they jealousy guarded.
England and other countries sent
operatives to this factory to learn the
secret, but when a man once entered
the factory it was life job with him.
He had to stay there.
"Other men were sent there dis
guised, but so carefully was the place
watched that nothing could be learned
and finally all attempts at discovering
the secret were abandoned and the
Russians were allowed to continue
their monopoly undisturbed although
many limitations of it were manufac-
tured.
about this time the late Marshall
P. Jewell was Minister to Russia from
this country. Mr.. Jewell had been
brought up in the leather business and
was then the owner of several tanner
les in Connecticut. OF course he had
heard of this now famous factory, and
more from curiosity than from any de-
sire to learn the secret of the business
he expressed a wish to inspect the
works.
1.-The Russian authorities never sus-
pected that Mr.. Jewell was interested
in the leather business himself, and in
his official capacity the factory owners.
who were aided by the Government
in maintaining their secret, felt rather
complimented that Mr.. Jewell should
have expressed such desire, and ac-
cordingly Mr.. Jewell, as it were, was
given the freedom of the factory
"For three days the United States
Minister remained in the Russian town
and visited the factory many times.
He was quick to catch on and he did
catch on so much that on his return
to the United States he determined to
put the knowledge he had thus
acquired to practical test.
1.-The result was that Mr. Jewell was
soon manufacturing Russia leather on
his own account. His first experiment
was perfect success. and now, as IL
consequence, this sort of leather, a5
you will perceive. is manufactured in
this country equal in every respect to
the best that Russia can turn out. "

4 Peculiar People Inhsbiting Portion of

Each community is made up OF sew
cral villages, originally consisting each
of members OF the same family or gems,
but now including several families.
Members of the same family can not
intermarry. Women and pasturage
rights have been occasions of many
feuds and vendettas. When a woman
changed hands or husbands, the parties
concerned could not always agree on
the value in cattle-the Suanetiaps
had no money-of the lady exchanged.
Hence arose assaults of persons and
batteries of towers. The affairs of the
hamlet, so far as they were not settled
by appeals to arms, were regulated by
an assembly of adult males, in which
unanimity was required for valid de-
cision. The foreign relations of the
Suanetians consisted, for the most part
in predatory excursions into neighbor'S
pastures. They were arrant sheep
stealers and cattle-lifters. Strangers
met with no hospitality. On the con-
trary it was the custom to exact pay
ment from them for passage, and the
custom still survives in petty demands
made for halting in remote village
The Suanetians may fairly be de-
scribed as reverted pagans. Some
Christian rites-fasting in Lent, and
the use of the sign OF tho cross-they
have doubtless preserved. But these
survivals seem to me no more to en-
title them to the name OF Christian
than our own midsummer night fires
constitute US sun-worshipers.-D. w.
