C., P. E. Tarbell denies attempting to fire
the building in which his printing office
was located, and charges the Fairhayen
Land company with prosecuting him.
Officials of the latter company emphat;callv
deny that they have ever threatened or an
tagonized him in any way
Some Of the officers and stockholders
state that Tarbell was employed by the
Herald company about five weeks, but W as
discharged. Since he quit their employ
they claim it has been discovered that he has
embezzled upward of 81 600 which they have
already detected and attempted to secure
by an attachment suit. Some of the money
was obtained, they further allegc, through
forgery committed eight days after his dis
charge The evidence Of this is in drafts
and vouchers now in the secretarys posses
sion.
Tarbell also says his own attorney, Mr.
Logan, advised him to 90 TO Canada. To-
gan denies having recommended such a
proceeding, though he admits that it was
not bad thing to do under the circuln-
stances.
Mrs. Tarbell, who is sorely grieved over
the affair, is urging her husbands return.

which he never rallied. It was long and
peaceful descent to the valley of the
shadow
There were about his bedside all the i'm
mediate members of his family; also his
physi clan and son-in-law DR.. Abbott; Gen.
R. w. Johnson, his brother-in-law; and
many other relatives. For nearly four DAYS
the loving watch Of family and friends was
unbroken.
If Gen. Sibley, before he fell into his last
stupor, was aware that death was so near,
he never indicated the fact to his family or
any one about him. Friday he talked over
some business matters with his son, Mr.. c.
F. Sibley. His mind seemed perfectly
clear, but in no way did he indicate real
ization of the situation. However, the gen.
eral was by nature inclined to be reticent
upon such matters, and hence it is believed
that in reality he was well aware Of his
condition. 1t was but a short time after
the conversation with his son that he be-
came unconscious.
All day yesterday st. Paul friends and
acqu aintances from outside the city called
at the family residence on Woodward
avenue to extend sympathies. and many
kilograms of coincidence were received from,
all over the country. Among the tells
grams was the following:

novel way of decorating china has been
successfully tried of late by an amateur painter.
A filigree gold background is made, leaving
medalions outlined with gold scroll work, and
in the medalions small punches of flowers are
painted, several different flowers and colors
entering into each bouquet. These are quite
French looking and a pretty change from the
exclusively Dresden style 80 many people are
fond OF. Little boxes, cups and saucers and
many other pieces of china, by their shapes,
seem to specially lend themselves to this deco
ration.
Another pretty thing adapted to this kind of
painting are little box match safes, which are
so pretty for dressing table use, a place well
calculated to show off china outfit.

An Angel in Disguise.

II the wives Of our employers were to take
the trouble to inquire little closer into the
domestic lives of the men employed by their
husbands, says Mr. Boz in the Ladies' Home
Journal, this world would be a far brighter
one for many a hard-worked woman who
buries her trouble in her heart and wipes
away the only outward trace of it with her
apron. know Of an employer whose wife
interested herself in the lives OF the people in
his store so that she ascertained the birthdays
Of their wives, their children. and even the
wedding days. 1t was done 80 quietly and SO
sweetly that none suspected her purpose. But
now on each festive day in those fifty odd
families there comes some pleasant remem-
brance. 1t is never the same, but always
something that is just needed in that family
at that time. Livery six months those hus-
bands find a little difference in their salary
envelopes At Thanksgiving a splendid bird
goes to each Of the houses in the employer
name; at Christmas time the hand OF the wife
Is visible. Now that is practical charity.
God only knows how many burdens that one
woman has made easier, how many lives she
has made brighter. None Of the women whose
paths this one woman has so pleasantly
smoothed has ever seen her. To them she Is
like ar invisible angel % goodne ut many
