Herbert Ayers Heart.
PARIS, May 30.-The great social ques
ton among the American colony is which
of two princes will get the Aver millions.
The two princes entered in the race for
them are Prince Dolgourouki and Prince
Giedroye, the one Russian and the other
Polish. The millions commended for are
those OF Mrs. James c. Aver, late of New
York, but just now of the Hotel CONT
mental. Paris. The interestin the question
i s so great here that heavy bets nave been
S taxed among certain set on the issue.
T he betting is all in favor of the Russian
P rlnce Dolgourouki, because it is current
gossip that Mrs. Aver has told her init
IN ate friends that Dolgourouki loves her
for herself alone.

The Tenants Defense Fund.

DUBLIN, May 29.-In letter to the Free
mans journal, Archbishop Walsh says
that the tenants defense fund now
amounts to over 100000. The fund, the
Archbishop declares, represents an asser-

Christian morality. That is that the prop

that of the richest landlord.

An ola-Fashioned Panther Fight.

| have often wondered what hindered
the cougars from being very plentiful.
They are monarchs of the woods, and are
very sly, with plenty Of game and cattle to
live on. This spring l was talking with
an old cruiser "a man who hunts for tim
ber and good land elaims), who had fol-
lowed the business for the last twenty
wears in Oregon and this State. He never
takes gun, but carries only a blanket and
small ak. He related that one night
when he was camping in the head Of ra-
vine about dark he heard cougar scream
on one of the ridges; and this one was an
swered By another on the opposite ridge.
They kept working toward the head, until
finally they came together some 800 yards
above him in some quaking aspen and
such a row and racket as they made he had
never heard before. They rolled down
within 100 yards of him and he SAYS that
he was pretty we'll scared but he kept up
a big fire and stayed behind that. They
quieted down in a couple of hours, and the
next morning, when it was light enough,
he went to the battle ground. He found
one of them lying there dead, all cut and
torn to pieces. 1t was very large one.
-Four days afterward, as he was coming
back the same way, some 800 yards from
where he had found the first one he
stumbled upon the other one, dead. This,
too, was all cut and torn as the first had
been. At another time, in Oregon, he
heard big fight going on, but did not go
to see the results. He was stopping one
night with an old Indian, who had hunted
and trapped all his life, and was telling
him about the fight, when the Indian said
that that was the way when two old males
met-one or the other was killed, and very
often both and that whenever the male
would find the young ones and the mother
absent, he would kill the last one of them,
| but if the mother were with them she
would keep him off. That must be the
reason that the mother goes with the
young until they are nearly two years old.
They say that all the cat kind will kill
their young. We know that this is SO
with the domestic cat.-Forest and Stream

dence of a Policeman.
DUBLIN October 3i.-The hearing of the
case against Dillon, 0'Brien and other
Nationalist, on the charge of conspiracy,
was continued at ripperary.
Much excitement was occasloned in the
Courtroom by the evidence of one of the
witnesses, policeman, who testified that
he followed several of tue defendants into
the vestry of the Catholic church, and tried
to overhear what was said by them. This
testimony aroused the indignation of the
counsel for the defense, and he demanded
to know if the penal days had returned,
when the sancity of the confessional could
be Invaded.
The Courtroom became babel of cries
and confusion, so great that il was impossi-
BILE to go on with the proceedings The
Court was, therefore, declared adjourned
for half an hour.
When the Court recouvened, one police
man was cross-examined by Harrington,
who called the witness q SHADOW.
The magistrate called upon the counsel
to withdraw the expression Harrington
refused to DO so, ana was ordered to leave
the case. An uproar ensued, 0'Brien and
Dillon commenting freely upon the man
ner in which the case was being conducted.
Finally another half hours adjournment
was ordered. During the adjournment
Harrington's clients decided to defend
themselves. When the proceedings were
resumed, Dillon had just begun to address
the bench, when a cheer was raised for
Harrington. This so exasperated the mag
istrate that he ordered the Court cleared,
and the proceedings sdjourned abruptly,
amid the greatest confusion. A large body
of police was massed outside of the Court.
There was no rioting.

A Construction Which May Increase the
Amount in Circulation.
New York. October 3d-A special from
Washington says Treasury officials think it
possible that the silver law may be con-
strued in such way that the result will be
an increase of 100000 il circulation in
addition to the S., 600, 600 or more issued in
legal tender notes to pay for monthly pur-
chases of silver The correspondent says,
concerning the coinage provided Tor un-
der the third section for the redemption OF
Treasury notes:
If coin is to be used in the redemption of
outstanding notes, and these notes may be
reissued, what can prevent an increase IN
the monthly circulation by the amo-nt OF
notes issued plus the coinage OF 2OOO,O0O
ounces per month? Notes to the amount
of the coinage value of 100000 ounces OF
silver, say 81 600, could be presented for
redemption every month in silver, and
these notes under the Act would have to be
reissued. 1t is doubted whether the pro-
vision that no greater or less amount OF
such notes shall be outstanding at any
time than the cost of the silver bullion and
the standard silver dollars coined therefrom
then held in the Treasury purchased by
such notes, changes the situation, as the
language is liable to the other construction.
The Act will probably be referred to At
torney-General Miller for Interpretation.
ENGLISH BULLION DEALERS.
New YORK, October 3d.-The Commercial
Advertiser editorially says: English bull
ion dealers are evidently manipulating our
silver market on an an extensive scale.
When silver prices were the highest, Eng
lish importers for several weeks did not
take an ounce FROM US. In the week end
ing September 18Th, when prices were
much lower, they suddenly ordered 81 ,0O0,-
600 worth of silver from New York. In
the following week they took nearly $780,
0OO Last week they did not take cent
1t looks like very clever engineering.

The GirI,s WAYS.

1t was Saturday morning in big farm
kitchen: Nell was bending over the sink
picking a chicken, with decided scowl on
her face; Hattie was kneading bread, with
an expression of grim determination suita-
BILE for soldier scaling his enemy's breast
works; as Susan was shelling peas her
pretty face spoiled by the settled discon-
tent about the mouth. The girls were not
talking they never talked while they
wo ad-but they often spoke sharply and
unNfndly. Work was to them a separate
state of existence in which the Christian
graces played no part
"Did leave my whip in here p asked
hesitating voice at the open door, and a
boy in big straw hat appeard behind the
voice.
"No," snapped Nell,7 butts wonder
you didn't, for you are always leaving
something around for US to tread on"
at has fallen down under your chair,
Susan" he said, coming to pick it up.
"Ned, you are always bothering some
body" fretted Susan, while she arose with
ungraeiousness in every movement.
Father called me to come quick and
catch the chicken, and | stood it in the
corner" replied Ned roughly, and gladly
made his escape.
The same morning in a neighboring farm
house kitchen. Lucy was kneading the
bread as deity as Hattie, but at the same
time planning with Helen and Grace how
to earn money for their missionary boxes;
Grace had funny story to tell while she
washed the dishes; and Helen told them
of meadow lark she saw while picking
the Strawberries that she was now hulling
for the strawberry shortcake for the des-
sert.
Sam came in with an armful of wood,
threw it noisily into the woodbox, twitched
Grace's curls, made believe dive hands into
Luey's pan of -four, snatched the largest
strawberry from Helen's dish, and pranced
out whistling Sunday school hymn.
The girls smoothed out the little smile
that SANS antics always brought to their
faces, and began to sing his hymn, being
echoed by Fanny, who was sweeping the
front stairs.

Excitement at Guthrie Over the Location
of the Capital.


of the Capital.
GUTHRIE (Ind. Ter }, October 3d.-Excite-
ment over the capital location continues
to-day. After the demonstration against
Messrs. Daniels, Perry and Nesbitt last
evening had subsidized, S. r. Mitchell, City
Attorney of Oklahoma City, sent this tele-
gram to one of his friends at home;
Your representatives were mobbed on
the street to-day Send 100 armed men"
Armed men arrived this morning, and
were among the first to secure seats of ad-
vantage in the hall of the Lower House.
Fully as many friends of the Guthrie
measure, equally strongly armed were also
present. Their presence caused Intense
feeling, and it would have taken but the
slightest outbreak to have caused serious
trouble.
Speaker Daniels was too i'll, suffering
from nervous exhaustion, caused by the
exciting scenes of yesterday, to preside As
soon as the House was called TO order Repre-
sentative Terrill introduced a resolution
calling attention to the presence of armed
men in the chamber. declaring their pres
ence undesirable, and directing the Ser
geant-at-Arms to eject all spectators, news
paper men excepted.
The resolution was voted down-20 to 80.
Considering the probability of a repeti-
ton of yesterdays riotous demonstration,
it was deemed advisable TO postpone until
tomorrow further action on the Capital
question.
The Speaker has prepared resolution,
which will be introduced tomorrow, pro-
viding for recall of the bill from the Senate.
When this resolution is presented lively
time is expected.

MoRMONISM.
Report of Governor Thomas on Its Prac-
tices in Utah.


tees in Utah.
WASHINGTON, October 3d.-The Mormon
question is discussed by Governor Thomas
OF Utah in his annual report. He asserts
that the Mormon people are governed by
priests, and that in every political and bus
mess act the church is put first, the country
afterwards.
The population of the Territory is esti-
mated at 220, ,932, an increase of SO per cent
during the past ten years. The Mormons
are recruited by immigrants from Great
Britain and Scandinavian countries. The
average number of foreign born brought
to the Territory by the Mormons
during the past nine years is about l 500
annually, and this average has been prob
ably maintained the past year.
The Governor says that political and off,
cial Mormonism deals in evasions and
meaningless words, or words of double
meaning-hypocritica pretensions and
false assertions. Its attitude toward polyg-
amy is delusive in the last degree. 1t
knows there has been no change on the
subject, but seeks to convey the impression
that there has been. Prominent officials,
the Governor states, have declared that
the church does not now grant permits to
enter polygamy, and the nominal head OF
the church has announced that polygamous
marriages do not now take place.
The Governor adds, however, that when
the attention of the head of the church
was called TO notorious case uncovered
in the First District Court, he disclaimed
any knowledge of it. Admitting that
these statements, however, are literally
true, the Governor says it does not prove

STRIKE THREATENED.
Trouble Between the Gas Workers
Union and Employers.

Union and Employers
LONDON. October 3d.-The Directors Of
the London Gas Company to-day declined
to accede to the demand made by the Ma
tional Gas Workers Union that only union
men be employed. The stokers threaten
to strike. storm has been brewing be-
tween the company and the men for
months. The number involved is six
times larger than the number engaged in
any of the previous gas house strikes. The
company is making preparations to con-
duct its business despite any action the
men may take. Long sheds have been
erected within the works for living quar-
ters for non-unionists, and hundreds OF
beds have been provided for their use. The
authorities, too, have taken energetic meas
ures to suppress any disorder. Orders
have already been issued that 500 soldiers
at Chatham be held in readiness to proceed
at moments notice TO protect the gas
| works and the men who refuse TO join in
the strike Each soldier has been served
with twenty rounds of ball cartridges.
The stokers declare the reports that they
intend to go on a strike to force the COM
pany to dispense with non-union labor is
unfounded. Moreover. they declare that
they have made no demands upon the Dl-
rectors, but only suggested that 1t would be
to the advantage of each side if only union
labor was employed. Despite the pacific
uttersnces of the men, the troops at Chat
ham continue under arms.
This evening, to a deputaion of gas men,,
the Directors declared that they bore rSs
emnity toward the union, and would al
ways give preference to old hands without
distinction between union and non union
men.
Atama meeting of the workmen later,
resolution was adopted expressing thanks
to the Directors, and declaring that the
men do not desire TO strike.

that the church has met the public senti-
ment of the nation, as expressed in lis
laws, nor does it prove that the church is
loyal TO the law.
There is no reason to believe, the Gov
ernor asserts, that any earthly power can
exact from the church any declaration op-
posed TO polygamy. He accounts for the
hold which Mormonism has upon the
people by the fact that they are taught to
keep aloof from influences outside of the
church.
The Governor recommends tie passage
of the bill reported in the Senate by Ed
munds which authorizes the Governor TO
sppoint certain county officers. and provid-
ing for legislative reapportionment. He
states that if this bill becomes a law it will
place the control of twenty-five counties in
the bands ofmen loyal to the Government
He also recommends the passage of either
the Cullom bill or the Struble bill.
