Wilke was tending bar when the man
came in and ordered drinks for himself
and three companions. After the drinks
had been served, the stranger said
''What do you do with men who can't
pay?" Wilke pulled q gun from under
the bar, saying: ~ have this for such

received a bullet over his left eye, which
cut clear through the head and came out
Of the back. wilke says he did not know

seem disposed to do anything in the mat.
ter, no one else cares to interfere. The
general opinion is that an investigation
should be made into the mental condition
of Hancock, who, IL found out of his head,
should he sent to the insane asylum al
Provo, and the children properly pro-
vided for. Perhaps the reason why the
officers are slow to act in the matter, is
because Hancock is an apostate Mormon,
in whom, of course, the people have lost
all interest. This probably explains
the authorities Indifference in the case.

Talking Dolls and Talking Clocks.

A cable despatch from Vienna says
that Thomas A. Edison has presented
Princess Elizabeth, granddaughter Of
Emperor Francis Joseph, with talk
ing doll, tile first ever made. Mr..
Edison is now in Akron. o., but John
OFT, superintendent In his laboratory
at Llewcllyn, described yesterday the
precious creatures which they are
about to turn out at startling birth
rate. Mr.. OFT said six talking dolls
had just been sent to Europe, possibly
all Of them intended as presents, and
one Of these had probably been pre-
sented to the Princess, although Ire
didn't know about it personally. They
were sent to Mr.. Ellyon, who is fitting
up store in New York to be devoted
entirely to the sale of talking dolls and
.o.her toys.
The six that were sent abroad. and
almost all the others, for that matter,
are patterned after the French jointed
dolls as far as outward appearance and
size go. They are from fifteen to
eighteen inches long. The head is
made of china like ordinary dolls, and
the arms of papicr mache The pecu-
liar part is the body, which is made of
tin. Tin is used because IL allows
room for the miniature phonograph
placed inside. The doll may repeat
everything that may be recorded by a
phonograph.
For several weeks they have had
Orange children at the laboratory,
talking, laughing, CRYING, and singing
in all sorts of ways to the phonograph.
in order that their chatter may be re-
produced by the dolls.
Another novelty which Mr.. Edison
will soon bring out is a clock to talk
the time. Instead of blank sound,
it will say, none," '.two," &C., at the

A Washington Memorial Arch.

The Rev. Frank Sewall in the Wash
ington Evening Star suggests that q
magnificent memorial arch should be
erected in Washington as a suitable
commemoration of Columbus discov-
cry of America. He finds a proper
site at the elevation at the northern end
of Sixteenth street, just beyond the
boundary, and says:
II the proper bills could be intro
duced and passed by the present Con-
gress for the improving of this site
and for the erection of q memorial
arch thereon of grand dimensions, to
be called the Columbus Arch, to be for
ages to come o reminder of the gate
way from the old world to the new,
o"ened by the great discoverer, and il
the magnificent avenue leading thence,
as it does now, straight to the portals
of the White House, the simple but
ever beautiful homestead and hearth
stone Of the nation, could at the same
time, in place of its present insignifi-
cant designation, be named Columbus
Avenue, believe the people Of the
country and of other American States,
and visitors from foreign lands, long
after the splendors of the Worlds
Fair have vanished, will be deeply i'm.
pressed with the dignified memorial
thus left to perpetuate the memory of
that great event.

A Chapter Of Ancient History.

A London telegraph agency gives
the following singular story in the
form of a telegram. dated Ottawa,
Feb. 3.-A gentleman named Mr..
Vernon Smith, who died here, leaves
among his papers an account, now
published for the first time. of mar
row escape of Queen Victoria some 40
years ago, while he was Divisional
Superintendent of railway in Eng
land. Her Majesty was making the
Journey to Scotland when the train
broke down in the middle Of 3 tunnel
in Derbyshire. The Prince Consort
and Mr. Smith urged the Queen TO get
on to the tender and leave the tunnel.
Her Majesty, however, refused to
abandon her party, and Mr.. Smith
ordered three fog-signals TO be placed
near the Royal train, TO warn any
trains from approaching. Shortly
afterwards a heavy goods train entered
the tunnel and passed over the first two
signals without noticing them. Finally,
when the third signal exploded, the
driver stopped the goods train. and
possibly thus saved the Queens life.
The publication of this incident was
suppressed ut the time.

The Bleaching Of Horses.

A curious statement comes from Ar.
kansas concerning gang of horse
thieves, who had for their chief as
sistant young woman--a bleached
blondes-with the nickname Of Sorrel
Sue. She was given this name because
she always appeared in public riding
sorIel horse. Her excellent horse
womanship and her dashing manner
brought her many admirers. The
shooting affair which forces her into
notice was an ordinary case of plain
Jealousy. Two of her admirers, both
members of the gang, fought for her
favor. One was killed, and the sur
vivor was severely wounded. A sur
geon was sent for. He mistook the
direction and walked into the cabin
occupied by "Sorrel Sue.'
Before he cou,d be hustled out, he
saw certain things which aroused his
suspicious. These he reported to the
sheriff, who with posse managed to
surround the den Of the horse thieves,
capturing Sue and two of her gang
The sheriff. though pleased with the
capture, was more than elated at the
discovery of the peculiar method of
Disgusting the stolen animals adopted
by the gang. He found that Sue had
applied the means of bleaching her
own hair to that Of the horses.
When the posse entered, they found
a horse enveloped in a jacket made out
of rubber coats, being treated to .
sulphar vapor bath.
The appliances were very ingenious,
and worked very well. A black or
bay horse wonld be stolen and run into
the bleachery. After Its color was
changed and its tail and name trimmed,
tie disguise became SO pronounced
that without any great risk the animal
c,uld be taken in daylight through the
very district from which it had been
stolen. 1t was Sues business not only
to superintend the bleaching, but also
to ride the animal out Of the country.
