A Very Slick Trick That Was Altogether
IA Complete Success.
A good story leaked out on we'll
known saloonkeeper in Washington.
One morning about a month ago he was
busy polishing up his glasses and get
ting ready for the days business, when
the swinging door was hurriedly pushed
open and man entered, lettering under
the weight of a good-sizcd lleg. Placing
his burden upon the floor and wiping
the perspiration from his brow, the man
asked the proprietor if he would allow
the keg to remain there until he would
call or send for it, and then, in con-
fdential manner, he said it contained
ten gallons of Virginia Valley whisky,
which, it is needless to say, internal
revenue had never seen, that he had
brought it the night before to gentle
man whom he had been supplying for
years, but unfortunately, he had left
the city and would not return for a few
days, and that he must go home that
night.
Incidentally, while telling his little
story, he removed the bung and invited
Vic w Otiott ~ MIlCU Ilc ulIl,
pronouncing it A No. l. The customs
evader then remarked that he knew
another gentleman to whom he thought
he could sell it, and, bottling a sample.
said he would return for the lleg about
two o'clock. At half-past four he came
hack, looking very eiected-hadn't been
able to sell the other gentleman-an
picked up his keg, which he said he
would take back home. AS he reached
1she door
"How much will you take for it?' said
the proprietor.
"More than you would be willing to
give" was the reply. You see, it's
above proofand very old, much too good
for bar-room trade; and, besides, | may
hear from the gentleman when he re-
turns and might not be able to dupli-
cate it, the boys are SO scary. This has
been buried in the woods for six years,
and it is the last of the particular kind
he has been using" Nevertheless,
after few minutes haggling and a
couple of drinks, he finally consented to
leave the keg with him for twenty-five
| dollars.
That night the proprietor thought he
would draw it off in bottles. Inserting
the thief into the bung he drew it out
full, but on the second attempt not a
drop. He shook the keg. 1t sounded
all right, but still no whisky could he
draw. He then bored a hole in the head,
into which he put the thief and this
time drew it out full of the clearest
water. 1t took him just two minutes to
dissect that keg with an axe to find that
from the bunghole to the opposite stave
there extended tin tube, in which the
whisky had been placed. If the gentle
man from Virginia will call, the proprie-
tor promises to open bottle of Pom
eroy, and let bygones be bygones.-Bal-

CORRALLED THE BRIDE.
The Strange Wedding of Big Charlie and
MeetutSe Nance.

Meetutse Nance.
"Pl0tS for stories have not all been
used, as some people assert, remarked
w. A. Jennings, of Wyoming, in the
Colonnade last evening. "a friend of
mine,' he continued. who lives out in
the cattle country of the Big Horn basin
was witness in 1855 to one of the most
remarkable weddings of which have
ever heard. At that time a few settlers
had gathered in and formed the nucleus
of what is now prosperous farming re-
gion, but the sway of the cowboy was
undisputed. The first wedding in that
section on Owl creek was that of Big
Charlie and Meetutsn Nance, native
sage-brush belle. The bride and groom
came seventy-fve miles on horseback
to the Squire's. and in exactly the same
fashion. When within few miles of
the Squire's home they met that official,
surrounded by half dozen cowboys.
Then the bride got FESTIVE and nervous,
declaring that she wouldn't marry any
man on earth. But the Judge, the cow
boys and the groom were equal to the
occasion. At short distance stood a
corral.
Take her over to the corral, boys, and
put her in said his Honor.
LAS Meetutse Nance heard this order
she made wild break for the hills; but
her days of freedom were over. She was
quickly run down, and amid volley of
feminine sage-brush eloquence the de-
lighted boys started on lope for the
corral. Reaching this, Nance leaped
from her bronx and started like scared
deer for some adjacent brush; but it was
no go. However, she fought vigorously,
and his Honor ordered: 'Hobble her,
boys The boys were in exstacies. A
pair of rawhide hobbies were stripped
from cayuse's neck, and their twist
adjusted about the sturdy ankles of the
struggling bride. She was taken into
the corral, and his Honor, mounting
the fence, made the groom take his
place by her side and catch on to her
hand. This done, his Honor assumed
the look of dignified Importance called
for by the occasion, and said:
big Charlie and Meetutse Nance,
you come into this corral single. | now
pronounce you a couple. Big Charlie,
unhobble your wife.
But this Big Charlie found it difficult
to do, and it was not until one of the
cowboys had gently cast his lariat over
the newly-made wife that the husband
was able to turn the lady loose. Then
the justice called his boys together, and
saying: Come on, boys, we hain't got
no business here now," led them away.
One of the boys looked back and the

A BOY MILLIONAIRE.
The Fortune of Marshall Roberts al
How 1t Is Invested.

The Fortune of Marshall Roberts and
How 1t Is Invested.
Little Marshall Roberts, son Of the
late Marshall o. Roberts, is the young
est millionaire in New York City.
There are hundreds of children in New
York who will probably some day in
herit one or more millions, but little
Marshall Roberts already inherits his
vast fortune, and in eleven years it will
be entirely in his control.
His father was one of the great mer-
chants of his day. and when he died
some four years ago he left an estate
valued at SlO,OOO,OOO. The little boy did
not have this entire fortune bequeathed
him, because there are other claimants
with equal rights to it.
When Mr.. Roberts died he was an old
man. His widow, one of the beautiful
young society women of the metropolis,
and the mother of little Marshall, was
his second wife. His first wife was
thirty years her senior and had Il
daughter who is now Mrs. Amos Van
Wart. Mrs. Van Wart has daughter,
Miss Evelyn Van Wart, who is twenty
years old. This makes young Mrs.
Roberts, who is now but thirty, step
mother to lady of forty, and step
grandmother to young lady of twenty,
and the little millionaire of ten uncle to
a maiden twice his age.
When Mr.. Roberts died he left will
dividing his money between his wife, his
80 sa-daughter, and his little son.
y NHhe son has half of the fortune for
bs own use, but until he comes of age
lls mother is to have the income from
he S5,O00,OOO.
Little Marshall Roberts will some
day be one of the greatest catches in
the matrimonial market, and he bids
man. He is nice, healthy-looking lad,
tall for his age, well-formed, and with a
round face full of intelligence. He has
great, soft, brown eyes like his mothers,
and dimple in rather decided-look
chin.
He has been across the ocean almost
every year of his life, has lived for
months in London and Paris, speaks
| German and French as we'll as English,
and is being educated for man of the
| world.
His greatest ambition at present is to
be an athlete. He has bicycle on which
| he rides up and down Fifth avenue; he
plays tennis, bowls and rides. Two
horses are at his command. and almost
every fine morning he may be seen
mounted on one of them, and attended
by his own special groom, "a young
lrishman who once rode in circus" as
the young millionaire is fond of explain
ing to his friends.
He has tutor who lives in the house
and looks after his mental training. lie
is being educated after the English
fashion and learns his Latin and Greek
with his English primer.
Mrs. Roberts is proud of her bright,
handsome boy, and takes every pains to
make him healthy, educated gentle,
man. He eats plain food. sleeps on a
hard mattress, is taught to know the
value of money, and in every way is
J trained with the same rigor as royal
prince.
His fortune is most of it invested in
real estate and Government bonds, and
stfur or ,6ve welI-known men are his
guardians. His income, when he comes
into his fortune, will be 500, 600 a year,
which is almost $3.50 day, or S22 for
every hour he lives.-Cor. Chicago Trib.

New Brocades and New Gowns.

Gold brocades in now arrangements of
stripes and colored grounds are sent out
from Paris to combine with dresses of
plain bengaline or velvet. These new
stuffs, as rich as the lampas used for
upholstering furniture, come in stripes
of contrasting colors, with golden
threads woven in vines of laurel leaves
or flowers through their center. with
thick gold cord separating the stripes.
Red and black stripes, each two inches
wide, have the same bright gold decora-
ton, and white and rose stripes have paler
gold vines. The entire front of dark
bengaline princess gown is formed of
this rich fabric. In the skirt are two
striped brocaded breadths, with scam
up the middle of the front gored mar
rover toward the top to make the
stripes meets in EifTel Tower points. In
the waist the brocade forms a full
waistcoat plated in four small plaits to
the high collar then gathered under a
wide velvet girdle, and fastened under
the left side of the bodice; high stand
ing collar passes entirely rrOund the
neck and fastens on the Left side, while
a high Medicis collar of the bengaline
of the gown is confined to the back of
the neck.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.

eanyassers on the returns in tins legls-

comment. lt would seem 10 all fair
minded lnen As IL Mr.. Maynard was
entitled 70 MS certificate OF election.
The Republican partisan IS very sure Of
Il. while the Democrat defends the ac-
ton Of the board by claiming the priv
iiege "to get even" The question Of
minority representation shouidnOthave
entered into the consideration at all;
IN fact, the nam point considered
seems 70 have been how to get Re-
publican out and a Democrat IN.
Ia order 10 carry their point the
board had 70 assume powers not granted
them. Their functions are solely
ministerial and IN no sense judicial.
They had 70 90 outside of their duties
and jurisdiction 10 find out that the
votes returned were cumulative. And
they went most decidedly outside Of
their functions to consider the constl-
tutionAllty or the advisAbllity OF the
law. twas the law of the land and
they were sworn to do their duty under
the law.
Mr.. Maynard will contest the case
with an appeal to the supreme Court,
and his chances will probably be as
good to get justice there, as they would
be with a Democratic House.
