FACTS AND FICTION
AN INSTANCE THAT PROVES THE FORMER ARE
STRANGER THAN TIE LATTER.
A Remarkable Story Told by Mr. Mays-Works
That Speak for Themselvss-ais Ex-
psriencs in Detail.

Truth is stranger than fiction" so runs
the old saying; no more faithful illustration
of the proverb could be desired than the
experience related TO the writer by Mr.
John w. Mays, well-known resident of
Claysville, Pa, brief outline of which is
given in the following sketch. Mr. Mays
said:
Mine was terrible experience for
years. never knew what it was to have a
well day. This may seem strange, but it is
a fact nevertheless
How did it commencer'
well, really can't say exactly, but it
seemed to come on me gradually. At first
il was only slight cold. This got better for
time. Then cold followed cold. and / be-
gan TO realize that it had developed into u

Mr.. Gladstone's speech at West Cadler
was a great improvement over his Edin-
burgh address The Standard says:
His words were the strongest possible
condemnation of the length 70 which
strikes are carried i'm England and in
timidation in Ireland" The Chronicle
declares that had Mr.. GladStone'S speech
on the eight-hour question been pub
lished on Tuesday morning the Con-
servatiyeS would have won EccleS. His
policy on this question is simply fatu-
Gus. He has left himself open TO be

JOHNS LUCK.

AanaSef Mcguire Receives = Handsome
Present From Unknown Friends.
Last evening, John Mcguire, the pro-
gresslve and energetic manager Of tho
opera house, was handed an envelope di-
rooted TO him personally, says Saturdays
MINER. The envelope was handed him by q
messenger boy, and supposing it TO contain
request for pass or some other similar
favor, John came over to the Miner office,
where he broke the seal and opened the
note. As he unfolded the paper, bundle
OF money-ten $50 bills dropped to the
door. Without waiting to pick up the
money, John read the note, which wan a.
follows:
John Maguire-You have blased the
trail in Montana. We want you to got
there. This 10 from the old-timers Of which
there are only few left. !"
John picked up the bills and found there
was $500 in $50 notes. The note bore no
signatures, and 80 far a. the identity of the
generous donors is concerned it is as much
OF mystery to John as that of the author
of the Junius letters. Returning to the
opera house MIR. Mcguire was handed a
gilded horseshoe, accompanied by a note
expressing the hope that the placing Of this
favorable omen over his door would always
bring good luck. For once John was COM
pletely knocked out, and spent the evening
wondering from whence his good fortune
had come. Whoever the kind and appre-
ciative donors may be, this favor could not
have been bestowed upon q worthier o.
more public spirited man.

A SUDDEN DEATH.

max. Behrens Quietly Dies In His Bed, Of
Apoplexy.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon Max
Behrens was found dead in his bed ct the
apartment house ON Clarke street owned BY
the Maggie sisters. Early in the evening on
Friday he complained of feeling unwell
while at his store in the Diamond block on
Sixth avenue, but later ON was in his usual
good spirits. His absence at the drug store
yesterday forenoon was noticed by the
clerks and it was thought that he did not
feel we'll enough to leave his room. When
one of the clerks found him in
his room hewas apparently sleep
ing. The body lay on one side
with the bedclothes drawn up to the
neck, and there was rosy color in the
cheeks. Everything indicated that he had
passed away peacefully while ASLEEP. It is
supposed that death was caused by ap-
oplexy. The coroner will hold an inquest
on Monday.
Mr.. Behrens was about 36 years of age
and unmarried. He came to Helena about
three years ago and went to work for III. NJ.
Parchen d Co.. where he remained for two
years, after which he started in business
for himself by opening a drug store in the
Diamond block. He was q popular young
man of genial disposition and had many
friends. The masonic fraternity. Of which
he was member, will take charge of the
funeral arrangements.
The relatives OF the deceased in Chicago
have been informed by telegraph and re-
questing their wishes as to the disposition
of the remains.

And Canadian Babies Can Grow
Up to be Good American
Citizens,
Provided Their Fathers Have Been
Naturalixed In the Regu-
lar Way.
So Says the Attorney-General Of the
State, and What He Says
Must Go.

Attorney General Haskell is Just now
running mill for the grinding out OF
opinions on citizenship. Though it is
working overtime, new grist arrives every
day. One of the latest questions asked is
from H. J. Clayton, of Radersburg, and is
as follows: 1.-TWO men were born in Can
ada and came to this country when but
about three and half years Of age. Their
fathers took out their naturalization papers
Immediately. Now are these two men citi-
zens without taking papers themselves, or
not? They have desired to register, but
the agent here has refused to register them.
They are both republicans, and we need all
we can get of such votes.''
The encouragement, in his answer,
which was mailed yesterday, says that
the claim of citizenship and the question as
to whether it is we'll founded, must be de-
termined by construction of the fourth
section OF an act of congress approved April
Il, 1902, entitled "An Act to Establish Uni.
form Rule Of Naturalization" The part OF
the section bearing on the question says
under any Of the laws of the United States.
or who, previous to the passing of any law
on that subject, may have become citizens
of any of the states, under the laws there
Of, being under the age of 81 years at the
time their parents were naturallzed or ad-
mitted to the rights of citizenship, shall, Il
dwelling in the United States, be considered
as citizens Of the United States.
Numerous cases are cited by the attorney
general, in which the courts have held that
the infant children of aliens, though born
out Of the United States. if dwelling there
at the time of the naturalization Of their
parents, become citizens through that nat
uralization. ''These decisions" says the
attorney general, rendered by the highest
courts in America, furnish Us with land
marks to shape our course. They lay down
time a. we'll as for all time, unless prohib-
tied by the written law of the future. The
law 10 that these men are citizens OF the
United States and are entitled to be regis
tered. Tho fact that these parties came to
this country during minority, and the
further fact that the father of each became
. citizen hereof during such minority,
is probative; The query is how
it shall be established to the the
policy of the registration law is most
liberal one 80 far as to grant the right OF
registration to all foreign born (beinR
otherwise quali6ed), and in so doing the
rule Of evidence laid down to establish citi-
zenship is very broad. am, therefore, Of
the opinion that the same rule laid down in
section eight of the registration act for the
government of agents in testing an appli-
can't for registration concerning his Citizen
Of this kind now under discussion; further,
that the agent cannot apply to this case
more stringent one."
The opinion is very long, probably 5000
words, and the registry agent will doubtless
surrender ON sight and without q protest.

COMING TO AN ISSUE.

lDomurrers to Indictments In the Gam
bling Cases Under Advisement
After long series Of postponements the
,demurrers to the indictments In the gam
bling cases have at last been argued and are
now under consideration by Judge Hunt.
There was very little interest in tho pro-
toeedings in the district court yesterday
when Lawyer William Wallace and County
Attorney Nolan submitted their views. The
general grounds of objection to the indiot-
lment are that the law does not operate to
close the gambling houses on Sunday. and
that it is violation Of the rights of those
who hold licenses from the city. The in
sdictments, however, are very carefully
worded, and it is the impression that the
court will sustain them. II it does, the
men accused Of violating the law by keep
ing open on Sunday will have to stand trial.
II the outcome should be otherwise, the
matter will have to be dropped until q new
grand jury meets. O. the old one which
found these true bills has been dismissed.
"a decision is expected to-day.

Stringency of the Eastern Market Has
Not Been Felt Hero.
There has been continued activity in real
estate circles during the past week. Many

dimunition in volume of purchases was an
ticipated here, but thus far no dimunition
has been noted. This steadiness of the
