HE BLEW IN TWO MILLIONS.
Ysang Mr.. Robert~'s Inh taNce Weat -
the Rate of Million u Year.

Early in the spring of 1888 there was
fashionable wedding in Washington.
The contracting parties were Mr..
Alexander II. Roberts of Philadelphia
and Miss Mary Mott of this city.
Neither of the parties was of age at the
time, and much comment was made in
regard to the wedding. 1t was known
however, that the groom would come
in possession Of large estate, and
everybody thought Miss Mott was max
ing lucky catch. 1t was case of
love at first sight and marriage
would have followed at months no.
tice but for the fact that Mr.. Roberts
was not in financial condition to UNDER
take the maintenance of a household.
At the time Miss Mott was singer in
the choir of well-known church here
Shortly after the wedding, and when
Roberts became of age, he came into
possession of $4,000, 900. This money
had been amassed by his father through
lucky oil speculations in Pennsylvania
On the strength of this inheritance Mr.
nd Mrs. Roberts INDUCED in Euro
'ean trip, and upon their return spent
several months at fashionable hotel
in this city, Later they took up their
residence in Philadelphia, where they
lived in style. Roberts had trotting
stable, steam yacht Il pack of hounds,
and suddenly developed sporting pro-
clivties. He seemed to take q special
liking to prize fighters, and went so
far as to make them welcome to his
own home. He would throw the wine
cellar open and entertain them in royal
shape. These men would on these oc-
casions gorge themselves with drink.
and frequently there was a rough-and-
tumble tight. On one particular even
ing there was an eleven-round fight in
the parlor, and the facts at the time
were wired all over the country. On
this occasion much of the valuable
furniture was demolished, and Alex
ander Roberts, in bout with an out
slider, received injuries which confined
him to his room for some time. The
innocent young wife naturally took ex-
ceptonS to the manner in which she
was being exposed in public, regardless
of the fact that her every desire, from
a pecuniary point of view. was granted.
She protested. and within year they
had separated.
Roberts has proven his ability as a
spendthrift, for within the short period
of two years he almost completely ex-
hausted his large fortune. He left
Philadelphia, went West. and located
in Denver. Col. On Monday Mrs.
Roberts filled bill in the Denver
court for divorce. She alleges that it
has become impossible for her to live
with him on account of his alleged
drinking habits. She also alleges, in
her complaint, that the most of her
husbands money is gone, and unless
restrained, he will very soon make
way with all of it, Washington Critic

A Hen Hypnotized.

have had an interesting expert
ment with fowl, writes E. L. Chaplin
in the Spectator. Some choice eggs
being sent me for Matching purposes
(having no hen at that time broodv
and no incubator) determined to sci
one of my hens on these eggs,and keep
her there by the force of mesmeric
power. The eggs were not fresh when
| received them. and to keep them with
the uncertain hope of IA hen becoming
broody might have been fatal to their
Matching. | therefore went against
nature and set my hen upon these
eggs; she was in full lay at the time,
and remained 50 throughout the three
weeks that she was sitting, laying, ac-
cerding to wont, two out OF the three
DAYS. Those who understand poultry
will appreciate that no hen will dothis,
having become naturally broody, al
though for the first day or two after
being set on eggs | have had hens lay
once or even twice.
Marking the eggs set her upon, l
was able to know and Withdraw the
eggs she kept laying. The first day !!
placed her on the eggs it took me hall
an hour to bring her into hypnotic
condition; but, each successive day,
after having reused her to drink an'
eat | was able to sooth her to drowsy
placidity in much less time; also Their
were days, for which l can get no
reason, when / had to go to her more
than once in the day, she being IN .
restless, excited state, trying to get on
the nest. The result has been, much
to my own establishment, that four gu.
of seven of these eggs have Matched
and are healthy, happy little chickens
At night l can still influence thelr
mother to her maternal duties, but IN
the daytime she takes no notice OF
them.

Trade Not With q whittier.

Never trade horses with a man who
whites" said Il shrewd Yankee yester-
day, as the talk of the moment turned
to the blue ribbon meeting. II You
do you will probably be imposed upon.
This whiting habit of the American
people is "a curious thing. Who is
there who doesn't white? Who is
there who doesn't find quiet salts
faction in aimlessly slicing shavings
off soft pine stick? The boy takes
to whiting from his earliest infancy.
To buy boy a jack-knife is to make
him happy, about as absolutely happy
as he can ever hope to be in this
world. If l had boy and he didn't
carve the piano legs with his new
knife, if he didn't scratch his initials
on the mantel shelf, if he didn't cut,
hack and mar the family furniture a
dozen times week, / should call In
the doctor, for don't believe such an
unusually good boy could be healthy.
But as men are merely children OF
a larger growth, they cling to the
propensity of the early days. Hence
they whistle. Hence they often find
relief by tapping the table with the
fingers. Hence they likewise white.
The man who whites is usually your
thoughtful person. There is something
on his mind, and while the shavings
are sliding away before the sharp knife
blade, the mind is likewise playing
havoc with some problem. Whiting
is mild stimulant, like a fine cigar
quoting the nerves and composing the
mind. A man whites for the same
reason that woman rattles the dishes
more than is really necessary-to ease
her mind. If you trade horses with a
man who whites, or keeps on whit
Ting while he is making the prospective
bargain, you will come out at the short
end. He will get the better OF you
every time"
At this point the quaint philosopher
of whiting mechanically pulled out
his jack-knife and began aimlessly
shaving away on stray toothpick.-

ously unjust "Geneva award" will

not be up to all the tricks of Euro
pean diplomacy, but he will never
get caught in tho same trap twice.
There is belief here that Secre-
tary Window will in his annual re-
port, take strong grounds in favor
of a curtalment of the privileges
now enjoyed by the Canadian rail
roads in the matter of transporting
freight through the United States.
At present these roads are allowed
to carry cars, sealed with a consular
seal, through this country without
examination or the payment OF
duties of any sort. Mr.. Window
does not approve of this system
which he thinks an unjust discrlm-
ination against our own railways,
and it is known that he has held
several conferences with the Pres
ident in regard to it, and that the
President agrees almost entirely
with him in believing change to
be desirable.

Only a Beginning.

The election of last Tuesday In
Wisconsin was the opening battle
of war that has been long pend
ing, for the maintenance and suprem-
acy of system of popular education
by the state.
This proposition we expect to be
generally received with doubt, in
dignant denial and scoffing. So
was met the immortal words declar-
ing that there must exist Gan ire
pressible conflict" between slavery
and freedom, to terminate only
when the country was "all slave or
all free" No well-informed, I'M
preiudiced citizen denies or doubts
that there exists in this country an
element antagonistic to the Amerl-
can system of public education, un-
der state supervision. This element
has grown steadily more pronounced
and aggressive from year to year,
until in this state it feels safe in
casting It's gage of ccafict at the
feet Of the people. To arouse and
unite their followers, the enemies
of the public school seized upon the
tritling defects of the Bennett law,
magnited them to the fullest, mis-
represented its purposes without
hesitancy, and maigned its support
ers with reckless disregard for
truth and honesty unparalleled IN
the political history of the state.
The Republican party of the state
refused TO sccede to the demands
made upon it for absolute surrender
of tie principle involved In the
law, 10y those heretofore affiliated
with il, adverse TO to that principle.
The Democratic party, true to It's
instincts Of subserviency to any
scheme having promise of tempo
rary success, however vicious or
unAmerican, readily sliced upon

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Oct. 3lst. 1896


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3lst. 1890.
1t is now thought here here that

tary Noble or Attorney General

Superintendent Porter Of the Cen

that there will be no more recounts

announced. The bulletin would
have been issued this week, but for
unexpected delay in receiving the
schedules of several districts in
Virginia and Missouri which have
been recounted on account Of errors

The British government has adopt
ed a somewhat novel line of tactics
in dealing with the Behring's Sea

Sir Julian Pauncefote, has, in a
series of newspaper interviews told
what his government wishes done
in order that this country, Great
Britain and Russia may hold a con-
vention for the purpose of arbltrat-
ing the disputed points. But one
construction can be put upon this
unusual and extraordinary method
of treating an important internatlon-
al question. The British wish to
work up public opinion i'll this coun'
try in favor of arbitration. The
action of the British minister IL
thus appealing to the public for Its

Forecasting Thunderstorms.

When the daily weather charts are
drawn. if we find that there is an un.
evenness in the isobaric lines-that is,
if these are wavy or bulge out irregu'
larly-we known that thunderstorms
are likely to burst somewhere or other
over the country, but that is all we can
say. At each station the barometer ls
unsteady-the mercury moving up and
down in the tube-during the actual
continuance of the storm; but this oscil-
lation of the mercurial column has
nothing to do with the irregularitv in
the isobaric lines above mentioned.
Forecasting these storms is, therefore,
always an uncertain and thankless
task, for local success is rarely attained

approach of a thunderstorm is the ap-
pearance on the western horizon OF .
