HER FIRST HUSBAND.
They Were Indebted to Him for Hi,

They Were Indebted to Him for His
widows Hospitality.
Years ago a dark-eyed, yellow haired De-
trOit maiden was woOed by handsome but
impecunious young man. She loved, he
loved-they both loved, and it followed, as
the night the day that they wished to mar
r.. When the young man whispered the
magic tale of love in the maijen's ear he
Old not ask her to be his wife at once and
exchange her fathers house for poor mans
hut. He told ner he had no money, but
that lie had prospects, and as they were
both young they could well afford to wait
until the prospects developed into some
thing more subStantial-money. for instance
And so they pledged their trOth without the
use OF the tell-tale engagement ring, and
their two hearts beat as one.
There came To live in the city where the
lovers dwelt rich cOnsumptiYe of middle
age, who met the girl with yellow tresses
and showed by tender words and loving
glances that he, too, was her captive. She
OF the yellow haI led him on, for in her
fertile, active brain a plan was maturing
that promised happy future. She noted
the hectic flush on the cheeks of her ad-
mirer and felt that his DAYS could not be
many, and, knowing that he had no near
| kinsman, she saw that had he a wife she
would inherit his entire fortune. She had
an interview with the man she loved best.

asked her to be mis- wife she answered
" Yes" and the wedding quickly followed.
For their honeymoon they went to Europe
and visited London and Paris. and then in
warmer climes the husband thought be
might regain his health; bat the hectic
flush deepened and his strength waned, and
IN sunny Italy he found a tomb.
The young widow returned to her native
land, where she found her impecunious lover
still struggling for his daily bread, but hold
ing on as firm as ever TO those splendid fu-
tuTe prospects" Before the next winters
SHOWS had fallen the two were married and
a brilliant career opened before the young
husband and wife. The heroine of the story
entertained her friends at her palatial home
The table was filled with all the delicacies
OF the season and the viands were the
choicest. The hostess was gay and happy,
and should she not be so? Had not all life
taken a T0Seate hue in these later days, and
was not she queen in her own circle? AS
she took a glass of wine in her hand and
was raising il TO her lips sudden thought
seemed to cross her mind and her face lighted
up with new interest.
Drink she called out in melodiOus
voice, Drink to the health of my first hus-
band, wherever he NAV be-"
A look of horror came into the faces of
the ladies present and they dropped their
glasses on the table. The hostess saw the
effect her words had produced, but she only
smiled the least bit sarcastically, and said
Are you all so shocked? You should not
be. for were it not for the bounty Of that
first husband of mine you would never have
been partakers of my hospitalityl'-Ex.

The Colonel Signs Two New Pitchers.
SOmmers Released.
Pitchers Garfield and Stephen are out of
the race for the pennant, as far as the
Colonel is concerned. They were both re-
leased last Saturday, and their places filed
by Baltz and Fitzgerald. Young Baltz. who
is likely amateur from Vallejo, is prac-
ticing with the team, and will make his first
appearance in the game to-day against the
FriscOS. Fitzgerald is on the way from Col
oraGo Springs, and is expected to arrive in
time to pitch one of the Sunday games. He
is left-handed twirleT, and is well spoken
of by members of the profession here who
have played with and against him.
The Colonel has also signed Catcher Bill
Stevens, who has worked with the club ON
one or two occasions this season, No dis
position has yet been made OF Hines. but

away, and the yachts fine showing in the
last race even after carrying away stays is
held TO justify the owner in asking for an
other go with the CyTetta at an early date.
AS pointed out in THE MORNING CALL,
the two yachts are practically equal in
measurement and nearly alike in construc-
ton. besides which the crews are equally
skilled in bay navigation. A match between
them would be likely. therefore, to be-
close thing.
Captain Jones of the Cyretta has published
a statement in which he gives his reasons
for declining a private match His chief
contention is that the Ceres regained the
lead lost by parting the stay off Mission
Rock, and was subsequently, beaten by the
weatherly qualities Of the Cyretta. Captain
Jones further says that he is sailing for
trophies, as an amateur, and not for cash
prizes, and has therefore nothing to gain by
another contest with the Ceres, unless the
latter should enter tor the September race.
1t was nevertheless confidently predicted
yesterday that match between the Ceres
and the Cyretta will be arranged within
tuyo walls

Ceres and Cyretta were matched. 1t GER
tainly would not partake of the nature of
financial club speculation. with mo con-
test" looming up in the perspective.
The friends of the Ceres maintain that the
supremacy in the class to which the yacht
belongs ought not to be decided by the late
race. They claim that the owner Of the
Cyretta in refusing to sail another race with
the Ceres is guided by prudential cOnsidera-
tons, aud is aware that the Ceres can beat
his boat They further contend that there
is 4 general sentiment among the club men,
bers that Captain Jones of the Cyretta
should give them a treat by having another
race with the Ceres.
A MORNING CALL reporter was informed
yesterday by one of the Ceres men that
their chief contention is that the Ceres won
one race last year, while the Cyretta won
two, in the last of which the Ceres met with
an accident by collision with the Jessie.
The Ceres. according TO this argument, has
never been beaten except when an accident
has occurred or something has been carried

RIVAL YACHTS.
Will the Cyretta Give the Ceres
Another Chance?
& Debated Question What the Probabilities
Are for Match Race Captain jones'
Pronouneement.

The Corinthian Yacht Club regatta proved
conclusive to all parties in regard to the victo-
~ of the Fleda and Truant in their respective
classes, but the Ceres-Cyretta affair is de-
batable and debated question between men,
bers of the club. Neither personal friend
ship nor fraternal rivalrieS seem to cut any
figure in the growing sentiment that a match
between these yachts would be an eminently
fit and proper thing which might attract as
much attention in its way and be quite as
big an event for the club as the race between
the Lurlins and the Aggie under another
pennant.
The article in THE MORNING CALL of
Monday has been read and reread by every
Coriathian yachtsman, and it is conceded
that the best way to settle the friendly con-
troyersy between the owners of the yachts
is by race. in which neither would be
hampered by long string of competitors.
A fair field and no favor is assured in an
event such as would be brought about if the

characters form a considerable part of the

Jack Jurden, tin-h0rn gambler. Jurden
was arrested. He claimed it was acct

changing it from one pocket to another,
though the evidence was abundant that it
was premeditated killing. Justice Charles
w. Shepherd discharged the prisoner.
Jurden was Immediately rearrested, as
the citizens had obtained information that
he was hired by a sal0on-keeper to kill
Burns on account of difficulty over
woman. A few nights later Jurden es-
capped, but was recaptured the following
morning. That night citizens took him
from the Jail, carried him to the Flathead
