A Youthful spendthrift Equanders Two
Millions in Two Years.
DENVER, July 29.-Eariy in the spring Of
1888 there was a fashionable wedding in
Washington. The contracting parties we're
Mr.. Alexander b. Roberts, Of Philadelphia,
and Miss Mary Mott, of that city. Neither
Of the parties was Of ago at the time and
much comment was made in regard to the
wedding. It was known. however, that the
groom would come in possession of large
estate and everybody thought that Miss
Mott was making lucky catch. It was a
case of love at first sight, and a marriage
would have followed at months notice
but for the fact that Mr.. Roberts was not in
financial condition to undertake the main
tenance of q household. At the time Miss
Mott was a singer in the cho;s of we'll
known church there. Shortly after the
wedding, and when Roberts became of age,
ha came into possession of $2,OOO,OOO.
This money had been amassed by his
father through lucky oil speculations in
heritance Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts indulged in
European trip, and upon their return
spent several months at q fashionable hotel
in Washington. Later they took up their
residence in Philadelphia where they lived
in style. Roberts had trotting stable,

seemed to take a special liking to prize
fighters, and went 80 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
occasions gorge themselves with drink, and

fight On one particular evening there was
an eleven-round fight in the parlor, and
the facts we're at the time wired all over

and Alexander Roberts in a bout
with an outsider received injuries that
confined him to his room for some time.
The innocent young wife naturally took ex-
osptions to the manner in which she was
being exposed in public, regardless of the
fact that her every desire, from q pecuni-
ary point of view, was granted. She pro-
tested, and within year they had sepa-

spendthrift, for within the short period Of

his large fortune. He left Philadelphia,

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Splendid Display of Fruit Sent In
From Westminster.

The farmers about Westminster have
been holding a fair at which the display
of fruit was very fine. When the fair
closed at home the exhibits were sent to
the chamber of commerce in this city to
be forwarded to the exhibit of the state
board of trade at San Francisco and to
California on Wheels. Yesterday there
was great activity at the rooms
of the chamber of commerce,
packing the fruit preparatory to ship
ping it. 1t was an exceedingly fine dis
play OF fruit. A, dozen varieties of ap-
pies, several OF pears and many other
kinds of fruit were in profusion. The
specimens were perfect in size and
other respects. They will astonish the
people of the east wherever they may be
seen.
There were reports yesterday OF the
following donations:
A. Dorman, Rivera, sugar beets
Thompson and Kelso, Inglewood, pampas
plumes; M. Brimble, Covina, Kelsey
japan plums, peaches, apples, beans /;
George E. Truesdell, Redondo Beach
sugar beets; P. o. Johnston, Ranchito,
apples weighing IL pounds each Miss
Fish, oil painting; Mrs. G. H. Strong,
Whittier, pampas plumes.
The shipments from the chamber
yesterday consisted of five cases OF fruits
and one of pampas plumes to the state
board of trade at San Francisco, and
one case of sugar beets to Chino for
analysis.

The cruelty of the Check Rein.

The tight check rein is one of the great
est cruelties habitually and thoughtlessly
practiced on the horse. 1t htnders the full
use of the muscles called into play when
the animal has a load to draw. 1t impairs
the circulation, causing heat and suffering
in the eyes and brain. 1t holds back the
horses head so that the full force of the
suns glare falls into his eyes, and he finds
himself prevented from dropping his head
and thus shielding them from this suffer-
ing And lastly, besides destroying grace
and ease of motion, the poor animal suffers
increasingly with nervousness and restless
ness, which find vent in involuntary move
ments which not infrequently call forth
punishment from the ignorant driver Yet
the excuse of the check rein is to give
"stylishness" to the horse. The check rein
is cruel just in proportion as it is tight
enough to prevent his head from falling
into it's natural position. If any one
doubts this statement let him for mo-
ment loosen that relentless strap, and he
can have no more convincing argument
against its use than that afforded by the
impatient manner in which the horse in
stantly stretches his neck when released
from it's uncomfortable constraint t--New

27 to 46 inclusive, were, on the report OF
the finance committee, struck out. They
related to the internal revenue provl-
sions as to peddlers of tobacco, taxes on
tobacco and cigars, and vinegar facto-
ries.
The sections from 81 to 60, (relating to
domestic wines, etc., were also struck
out, and the committee amendments to
other sections of the bill agreed to.
Aldrich offered an additional section,
which was agreed to, declaring that the
value OF foreign coins as expressed in
United States money on account, shall
be that OF the pure metal in such coin,
and be declared quarterly by the direc-
tor OF the mint.
This closed the consideration OF the
bill except as to the sugar section, re-
ciprocity and some few other partic-
ulars, which will come up on Monday,
when the speeches are to be limited to
thirty minutes in length. Voting is to
begin on Tuesday, and after the third
reading of the bill is reached, three
hours are to be allowed each side for
general discussion.
The conference report on the river and
harbor bill was presented and read. The
presiding officer, ingalls,, said on a
measure involving so large a sum Of
money, and including so many contested
considerations, he would not take the
responsibility of declaring the conference
report agreed to, unless it appeared that
quorum was present. There were but
twenty-one senators voting, and So
without action on the conference report,
the senate adjourned.

Inhumanity in Maine.

A Saco man has in his family a step
daughter about years old, whose lot can
not be happy one. Friday afternoon the
man and his wife locked up the house, leav-
ing the girl outside, and went visiting
They did not come back that night and the
girl slept on the stone doorstep, getting
what she could to eat the next day, as her
mother and stepfather still remained away
That evening she had again camped upon
the doorstep when a neighbor saw her and
learned why she had no better bed. He
took her to his home, and bright and early
in the morning started out with club to
try to beat little humanity into the step
father, providing he had returned. He
found him, and though he did not use the
club he gave him emphatic warning that
if he ever heard of his abusing or neglect
ing the girl again he would use it. This is
one of the cases where the American Peace
association would prescribe war, we think.

The Value of Scientific Expeditions.

The work which has been done in con-
nection with the Challenger" expedition
is, of course, of great interest to the pure
scientist, but sooner or later it will be dis
covered to be of immense practical value.
The reports which have been published in
connection with it form library of forty
seven quarto volumes. with nearly $4,000
pages of letterpress, more than $500 litho-
graphic and hromo-lithographic plates,
400 MAPS charts and diagrams, together
with great many woodcuts. The prepa-
ration and publication of the reports have
cost no less than $4,000, and the amount
recovered by sales does not yet reach $780,
600. The part of the report which is
specially interesting is that which gives
information about harbors, tides, currents
and prevailing winds of out of the way
spots, which will be of use to those engaged
in maritime and commercial pursuits

In Town and Hamlet

The seeds of Intermittent and bilious remittent
fever germinate and bear evil fruit. No COM
munity has altogether escaped it. In populous
wards of large cities bad sewerage causes it,
and in their suburbs stagnant pools in sunken
lots breed it. There is at once II remedy and a
means of prevention. Its name is Hostetter s
Stomach Bitters, which is without peradvent-
ure, the most potent antidote in existence to
the malarial virus. Fortified with this incom-
parable, saving specific, miasmatic influences
may be encountered with absolute impunity.
Disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, be-
gotten by miasma- tainted water, or any other
cause. succumb to the benefcent corrective
named, and rheumatic, kidney and bladder
troubles are surely removable by its use when
it is given persistent trial

such as are absolutely necessary. He
added that there was no truth in the

to be first assistant postmaster-ge general,
vice Clarkson, resigned.
The presidential party spent the day

people to see the president that he was
compelled to hold an informal reception.
