IGNORANCE OR CRIME,

This Man Was Very Careless In the Use of
Names.
Judge Sanders accepted a forged check
yesterday in payment of a fine of $5.S5.
VIM. Draper got on spree Thursday night
and yesterday appeared for trial. He was
let down easy on promise of better be-
havior. He is a colored man in the emplov
of Z. g. Cole, the secondhand dealer Of
Clore street. William did not have the
ready money to pay his fine, but had some
coming from his employer. He asked the
judge for blank check. He was given
one and filled out the lines in favor of J.
g. Sanders for the amount of the fine, but
signed the name of his employer to the
check. Draper bowed his thanks and de-
parted. The judge leisurely looked at the
check and noticed the mistake. Whether
the prisoner intended to forge his employ
er's name, or whether he thought that was
the proper method of drawing upon him
for money, the Judge does not know, but il
inclined to think the fellow did not know
any better. and thought he was doing the
correct financial thing. The case will b.
investigated to-day.

THE supreme court Of Kansas having
refused to order the seating OF eighteen
contesting delegates from newly organ

body will seat him, if it wants him. In

MONTANA VERSUS KENTUCKY.

While the bleak northwest is suffering
from winter cold, the carpenters in Ken
lucky do not know whether to saw out stock
of air-grate boards or go on with their fly
screens. Why does anybody live in the
northwest, Notwithstanding Courier
journal.
Why, bless your life, colonel, they live
here because they wouldn't live any
where else. In the middle Of December,
in the year of'our Lord 1890, the air OF
this beautiful Prickly Pear valley is
worth moro by the cubic foot than land
in Kentucky by the square mile. While
the denizens Of Louisville are wading
around in rubber boots, the residents OF
Helena are tramping around on solid
earth. The bracing atmosphere Of this
region makes man feel like stopping
every few minutes to render up silent
thanksgiving that he is permitted to
breathe in it, This is far preferable to
inhaling the masmatic and malarial
laden breezes which come up from the
river bottoms around the habitation Of
the star-eyed goddess of reform. On
Christmas we will have snow, while
Louisville will no doubt have rain. After
that for two months we will have winter
seasonabe winter-with snow, clear,
bracing weather and bright sunshine.
Kentucky will meantime be sloshing
around in combination of temperatures
which will be neither summer, autumn,
winter nor spring. Then will come
March, with the invigorating influences
of clear bracing temperature and warm
sunshine in this region, while other Sec
tions will be shivering under the chilling
blasts of winter lingering in the lap Of
spring.
If it were not for the Courier-J Journal,
Col. Watterson and moonEhlne whisky,
there would be little worth living for in
Kentucky.

THE Manufacturers club, OF Phila-
delphla, a stiff protection organization
composed in part of leading wooden
manufacturers, does not paint the
prospects OF the wool growers in rosy
colors. The organ Of the club, The
Manufacturer, says in recent number:
"The prices Of wool have always de-
clined when the duties have been ad.
vanced, and no doubt exists in the mind
of any well-informed man that they will
again decline now that the new tariff
law has put the prices up
Perhaps when Mr.. Edmunds said i
wasn't certain that the Mckinley bill
would put prices up, he referred espe
cially to the price OF wool.

education, and have altered our system
with the times. The Germans may be
expected to follow the trend of modern
advancement, with or without the as
sistance and direction Of their youthful
emperor. But freedom OF thought
ranges far beyond the control OF kings
and kaisers, and, while there are true
hearted Germans in the fatherland,
there will always be patriots ready to
stand and ready to die, if need be, in de-
fence Of their rights.

SENATOR EDMUNDs says sit lie impos.
sible for anyone to know within twelve
or possibly twenty four months whether
the recent tariff will produce an increase
Of prices" Oh, no, it isn't senator. The
thing has already been done. The bill
that you and your party associates
passed was for the direct benefit of the
manufacturers and they are getting it.
Here are few proofs:

SHOULD you find any goods on this in
voice ut an advance upon former price,
please take notice that it is in consequence
of tho new tariff act. All goods in store
before Oct. 6 will be sold at the old prices,
but naturally all goods received after that
will have to be figured on the new tariff ba-
sis. Yours truly,

pended letter is true copy:

And if you press the Illinois senator
for his reasons he will probably draw
from his desk, by way Of justification, a
copy of the Carpet Trade Review and
put his index finger on this paragraph:

How Women Rest.

How differently men and women
indulge themselves in what is called a
resting spell. Il guess I'll sit down
and mend these stockings and rest
awhile" says the wife; but her hus-
band throws himself upon the easy
lounge, or sits back in his armchair,
with hands at rest and feet placed hor-
izontally upon another chair. The re-
suit is that his whole body gains full
benefit of the half hour he allows him
self from work, and the wife only re
ceives that indirect help which comes
from change of occupation. A ply
stefan would tell her that even ten
minutes rest in horizontal position,
as change from standing or sitting
at work, would prove more beneficial
to her than any of her makeshifts at
resting. Busy women have a habit of
keeping on their feet just as long as they
can, in spite Of backaches and warn
ing pains. AS they grow older they
see the folly Of permitting such drafts
upon their strength, and learn to take
things easier, let what will happen.
They say, 81 used to think | must do
thus and SO, but I've grown wiser and
learned to slight things" The first
years of housekeeping are truly the
hardest, for untried and unfamiliar
cares are almost daily thrust upon the
mother and home maker. New York

The CITY Of Berlin.

Frederick the Great worked hard to
beautify this town of his choice, but it
cannot be said that, with all his eff
forts and all the energy of recent
years, it is town which strikes stran-
ger familiar with London or Paris as
one of grandeur or even of dignity.
To begin with, there only exists one
church of architectural interest-in-
terest, because the beauty of the Klos-
terkirche has been destroyed by ad-
dItions made about the middle of the
present century. AS for the cathedral,
that is a late, domed ediice, no larger
than decent parish church in this
country. This poverty is unique.
Look where you will over Europe,
and you will not find single town of
capital importance SO void OF that
browning ornament TO city, a fine
ecclesiastical building. The defect can
not be exaggerated. Such buildings
are the durable record of city's life;
each weather beaten stone has an in
terest no less human than scientific,
no less romantic than artistic. We
have our ST. Paul's and Westminster
Abbey, the Parisians their Notre
Dame, Vienna its st. Stephens, Rome
its st. Peters: but there no such ser
mons in stone to be read in Berlin, no
building to be admired for its beauty
or revered for its age Conceive Paris
without Notre Dame. The effect is
nothing short of robbing French liter

A Horses Suicide.

The horses moved along the edge of
the crag as though they chung to it,
their bodies aslant towards the wall OF
granite on their right, their legs NOV
ing with the precision of creatures
feeling and grasping every step. Like
deer they moved-not like horses
and as they advanced the carts they
drew swayed behind them, and |
thought every jolt would hurl them
over the precipice. Fascinated
watched could not choose but
watch
AT last came a gray horse, not draw
ing cart, but carrying something ON
his back-on pack saddle, apparent
ly. Like the rest, he came on stealth
lily, shifting every inch of the terrible
way, until, just at the worst and gid
dlest point, he paused, hesitated and
seemed about to turn. Isaw him back
himself in a crouching attitude against
the wall of rock behind him, lower
ing his launches and rearing his head
IN a strange manner. The idea flashed
on me that he would certainly turn,
and then-what would happen2

thing that did happen. The miserable
horse had been seized with the awful
mountain madness that sometimes
overtakcs men on stupendous heights
the madness of suicide. With
frightful scream that sounded partly
like a cry Of supreme desperation,
partly like one of furious and frenzied
joy, the horse reared himself to his
full height on The horrible ledge, shook
his head wildly, and-Ieaped with
frantic spring into the air, sheer over
the precipice and into the foam be-

An Eternal Relic.

Asoka, believed to be the grandson
of the Indian sovereign whose realms
were invaded by Alexander the Great,
became a convert to Buddhism, and
in extending that form of religion Ell,
acted part analogous to that of Con
stantine in establishing Christianity
About fifteen hundred years ago he
distributed morsels of the bones of the
saints to all kings with whom he was
IN alliance, and prince in Guzerat
resolved that his relic should last
while time endured. He inclosed il
in bottle of gold, and that in a cas-
ket of silver, and that in a vessel of
copper, and that in bowl of baked
clay-a substance as durable as the
earth of the world and that in a
Golfer OF claystone, and that in hol-
low square of sandstone, and that
again, in pyramid of brick more
than eighty feet high, and at the base
the same thickness; and finally, as
we understand, a description only on
this point obscure, faced the entire
structure with stone blocks. The
prince did not spend all that thought
and labor and treasure only to honor
his relic; he meant to preserve it as
long as India or Time itself should
last, and SO well did he plan that he
succeeded in preserving it for fifteen
hundred years.
His dynasty ceased and was even
forgotten, his people changed their
creed and ceased to worship Buddha,
his clearances were abandoned by hu
man beings and the jungle spread its
celebrating mantle over roads and
plain and pyramid, and still the relic
remained as ss4s+n its golden bottle as
it was when the prince placed it there.
And there the British archaologist,
Mr.. Campbell, found it, the NOR
sci of bone uncalcined, the gold of the
bottle as bright as ever, the silver cas-
ket only furnished, the copper cover
ing onl rusted, the bowl of baked
clay unchanged, as it would be if left
there till the world cooled, the clay
stone Golfer unbroken, the sandstone
cavity unviolated, the pyramid still
resisting climate and time and men
who had in some past age sought
treasure in its interior London Tele
graph.
