BUTTE, May l9.-John p. Nicholson was
arrested tonight by Officer Donovan on a
charge Of robbery. The charge was made
by Hiram Jaekeny, n Finlander. The ar
rest was made i'm Charles McGinnis' sa-
loon, where the alleged robbery is said to
have taken place. The complainant al
leges that he, with a number of his coun-
tgymen, was in the saloon and got SO
drunk that he laid down in n OF the
boxes and fell asleep. While he
was in that condition Nicholson entered
the box and proceeded TO go
through Jackeny's pockets. Some OF
the women in the place saw him and told
him to desist, but ne kept on, saying he
was n friend Of the drunken man and
would take care OF his money.
Shortly afterward Nicholson left the
box and showed six twenty-dollar gold
pieces 10 the barkeeper, which, he said,
belonged o Jackeny, and left the saloon.
When Jackeny awoke he missed his
money, and said that he had been robbed
OF twenty-five twenty-dollar gold pieces
and a fifty-dollar bill. He was told
that Nicholson had taken his
search for him. This evening lie found
him, and Nicholson gave him back five
of the coins, saying he had taken only six
and had spent one of them. II was then
that Jackeny ordered his arrest and he
was placed In Jail.
The complainant gave bonds for his
appearance as a witness. Mich
olson has been noticed by the police for

CAMEL'S-HAlR SHAWL s,

en- Small Fortune.

slrable, and stamps the wearers at once

woman, financially. A fine valley cash.
mere shawl costs what would be tc
many women a fortune. Now let us see
what the outside garments for winter
wear will usually cost the fashionable
woman, and l will give the prices from
the wardrobe of an acquaintance who
considers the outlay moderate. The
shawl cost $3.50; the sealskin raglan,
$500; the Russian sable cape and muff,
$3.50; plush embroidered cloak, s1S5,
This amounts to S1,2S5. This has moth
ing to do with the magnificent summer
wraps she has, or the gorgeous evening
cloak she has recently purchased.
Most ladies sigh for a camers-hair
shawl, and sometimes marvellous bar
gain is found in one of these, if the lady
is not very particular as to the color be-
ing up to the very tip of the latest
make. A friend recently asked me to
"keep my eyes open" when / was max
ing my visits among the stores, and see
II l could find nice shawl for
little money. was an entire
year hunting such bargain once
before, but this time l found
1t upon the first inquiry. 1t measures
2L yards square. The color is dark, vet
showing a little of old-rose and blue
tints, very dark; but there they are, and
a high art critic would say it was old
style, so the merchants must lose on the
Shawl or carry it along until fashion
DEGREES these tints to be reinstated.
The original price of the shawl was
$3.50, and considered very great bar
gain at that, and it is firm, soft, vet
closely woven, and hangs gracefully
about the shoulders. The price is now
$3.50. The shawl was opened and placed
beside one of the latest importations of
the same size, the price of which is s4oo.
There seems very little difference in the
quality, the wide border of the first be-
ing handsomer than the same OF the
last named. The $40C shawl in the
newest colors is so very dark that one
must sit down and take time to find the
design, and then cultivate taste for it.
The shawl of the last season is also
dark, quite dark enough to please most
ladies, but the colors and designs are
more readily grasped and the shawl
fasclnates one sooner. 1t isevery hand
some and great bargain; will wear as
we'll and look as beautiful to the masses
as the one that cost $3.50. The finer

The Propriety of Doubt.

There is common mistake that peo-
pie fall into in supposing that to have
any doubt, even in ones own mind, on
what some one may say is equivalent to
accusing him Of untruth or insincerity.
Nothing could be more fallacious.
Thousands of honest mistakes are made
--under-statements, ,oyer-statements and
mis-statements-by gincere and truth
loving persons. To make due allowance
for this probability and for the influence
of prejudice, or onc-sidedness which is
as unconscious as it Is habitual, is very
different from casting any slur on the
speakers candor. The wise man knows
that he, too, is in similar danger, and
will examine and test his own motives
and thoughts with even more scrutiny
than he applies to those of others N.

little matter-for him. He said he

Alas! shrek from the kneeling wife
told me was too late. My friend, like
his father and brothers, had died with
his boots on.
After an interval, whether moments
or hours can not say, seemed to hear
persons talking as in dream. Jones
was speaking in subdued voice, it is
true, but quite calmly.
"Poor fellow! you say he had pistol
with him, but hesitated to shoot until it
was too late? That is singular. It
proves conclusively to my mind that
the shooting was somehow acciden-
tai. You know that either you or
would have defended ourselves unhesi-
tatingly where there was any necessity
for it. Yes, it is true that Fairburn
was every body's friend; but then you
know in emergencies onesmay look out
for ones self, and Fairburn was no
coward. In my opinion it was most
unfortunate accident"
My clients case came off the next
week. He was convicted and after
wards hung. Slade was tried some
months after and convicted of man
slaughter. 1t was proved that he and
Jack had never been unfriendly. Jones
was Slade's lawyer. e. Glover in

IT DOESN'T COST MONEY.

II doesn't cost money. as many suppose,
TO have Il good time on the earth;
Fbe best of its pleasures are free unto those
Who know how to value their worth.
The sweetest of music the birds to us sing
The loyelest flowers grow wild;
The finest of drinks gushes out of tn.
spring
All free to man, woman and child.
No money can purchase, no artist can paint
Such pictures as nature supplies
For ever, all over, to sinner and saint
Who use to advantage their eyes.
Kind words and glad looks and smiles
CHEEKY and brave
Cost nothing-no, nothing at oil.
And yet all the wealth Monte Cristo could
save
Can make no such pleasure befall.
To bask in the sunshine, to breathe the pure
air,
Honest toll. the enjoyment Of health,
Sweet slumber rcfreshing-these pleasures
we share
Without any portion OF wealth
Communion with friends that are tried true
and strong,
To love and be loved for loves sake
In fact, all that makes life happy and long
Are free to whoever will take.
II doesn't cost money to have good time,
And that is the reason alas,
Why many, who might have enjoyment
sublime,
Their lives in such misery pass.
1t doesn't cost money to have good time;
The worlds best enjoyments are free;
But those who find pleasure in folly and
crime
Will not with these true words agree.

OLD ENGLISH MARRIAGES.
peculiar Unions OF May and December
Reported to the Registrar.

| VI the many interesting matters that
come under the notice of the registrar
general there is nothing more surpris-
ing than the frequency with which
youth and age try the paths of matri-
mony together. Of 1896 brides over
1lfty years ofage who were married last
year secured a youth of twenty, were
accommodated by men of twenty-one,
and II others kept their choice of strip
lings below twenty-five. In one of the
last-naned cases the good lady was
forty years older than her partner.
Turning to the veterans among the
husbands there is even greater dis
parity. There were no less than 369
brldegrooms above seventy years of age,
and OF these one took girl of seven
teen, another one of nineteen and four
others kept under twenty-one. Between
sixty and seventy years of age 2,0s4
men married. Three of them took girls
under eighteen and twenty-seven others
were content with partners who had not
reached their majority. AS many as
1915 males whose ages ranged between
nifty and sixty were also brought to the
altar, and here again a score of the
wives were in their teens. A hundred
were not more than twenty-one and 24s
were under twenty-five.
Among other strange matches was
one between couple of octogenari-
ans, while three ladies of ''eighty-five
and upward got husbands whose ages
were seventy-fve, sixty-fve and fifty
five respectively. Taking the gentle
men of ''eighty-five and upward" we
lind that one of them secured bride of
forty-five. But even greater contrasts
are to be seen in the venerable Adonis
OF seventy who got maid of twenty
one, and in the seventy-fve- year old
buck who secured blushing damsel Of
nineteen.
AT the other end OF the scale we have
marriage between girl of thirteen
and boy of eighteen, another where
the contracting parties were sixteen
each and third where men of twenty
one saddled themselves with wives of
fourteen. Two husbands of thirty took
partners whose ages were under fifteen,
while no fewer than seventy husbands
OF forty found wives of from sixteen to
twenty years of age.-Mancheste Cou.

III | were a young bachelor-more

Nothing that I can see," said tho

"But don't exactly see why the young

sufficiently desirable to make 1t worth
while for the first new Administration
to grab them. Most Of the men one
meets here, more especially the unmar-
ried ones, are in Uncle Sans employ.
Then, again, the rich people who come
here, while they always bring their
daughters with them, very seldom fetch

is generally imagined to be dissipated
city. So, to sum up, few young
men come here, and those native to
the place who do not go elsewhere to
seek their fortunes, usually remain
poor-too poor, indeed, to venture upon
matrimony. Thus you. observe the
spectacle Of society in which the
young women greatly outnumber the
young men, and the latter are, general
" speaking, not available for marriage.
The anomaly of the situation is rather
aggravated than otherwise by the fact
that SO many OF the girls are rich,
either actually or in prospect, and,
though things might be fixed delight
fully by the rich girls marrying tho
poor men, things do not go that way. i
