ROMANCE IN COURT.
Story of Man Who Won in a Lottery bu
 Lost a Bride.

Story of a Man Who Won In . Lottery but
 Lost Bride.
 A romantic story was revealed in a Boston court the other day in Q contest over the $500, ,000 estate of the late Sam uel Welch, who lived in so many places that the probate judge doesn't know where to locate his legal residence. For years fine-looking brick house on Elm street, Somcrville, has remained unten- anted, it's windows and doors heavily barred against entrance by anyone ex- cept the possessor of the key. All sorts of ghost stories have been conjured up about this house, and everybody who lived in the neighborhood was con- vinced that the house was haunted. It had that reputation, anyway, and timid women and children always went a block out of their way to avoid passing it at night. The ghost stories vanished in the light of to-day's revelations. That house was built by Mir. Welch years ago with the proceeds of lottery prize which he had drawn. He was engaged to be married to an estimable young woman, and the wedding day had been appointed. When the intended bride heard that the foundation of his wealth had been laid through lottery invest ment she refused to marry him. MT. Welch immediately barred up the house. which had just been completed, and would never give his consent to It's be- ing occupied. He then led a rowing life in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, where he passed the greater part of his time. Mayor Pope, of Somerville, was to-day appointed administrator of the estate, which he will distribute among large number of heirs.

ONE of the French provincial law courts has had an odd discussion as to the precise definition of might" A man was charged with breaking law nearly fifty years old which forbids sportsmen to shoot at night. The pris- oner pleaded that the day was not yet over. After much scientific discussion it was decided that night began with the close of twilight, or when the sun had descended six degrees below the hori- zon. The almanac showed that on the day in question twilight, as thus de- scribed, ended thirty seven minutes after sunset, and the sportsman was ad- judged guilty upon that ruling.

HON AMOS CUMMINGS figures It out that there are upon the rolls of the next national house of representatives 121 democrats from north of Mason and Dixon's line and IF from south of it, counting the Farmers alliance men from Georgia and Mississippi. Of the 121 northern democrats 42 were re- elected, and of the IF from the south 76 were reelected. The 76 reelected from the south, however, represent exactly 500 years of service in the house, while the 42 reelected from the north have had an experience of only 1SS years. In other words, IF southern democratic congressman ill the next house will represent 500 years of active service, while the 121 democrats from the north show an experience of only 1SS years.

ANARcnIsrs are said to wenr n badge

ANARCHISTS are said to wear a badge shaped like gallows, in men. oTy of the five executed in Chicago, whom they regard as martyrs. This is really very considerate of them. If other criminals were compelled to wear the badge of their calling the world would be better off, inasmuch as the innocent world would know whom to avoid.

MIR BLAINE is rollicking in theglory he obtained by calling the bluff of the Itan- ian government, but for some reason he refuses to give out copy of the last dis patch he received from Rudini, the Italian prime minister, and all the infor- nation we have had about the dispatch, said to be straight back-down on the part of the Italian government, has come by press-cable from Rome. It is said that one reason why this dispatch is withheld from the public by MT Blaine is that it raised a question of veraeity between Baron Fava, the recalled Italian minis ter, and Mir Blaine, and makes it very plain that one of the other of them has been handling the truth very care lessly. Baron Fava is still at Washing ton, but he refuses to be seen, and MT Blaine says that the dispatch will not be made public until after his reply has been prepared and sent. Meanwhile the public are we'll satisfied to know that all danger of serious complication with Italy has passed.

ANOTHER scandal has been talked around Washington about the new con- tract for supplying the postoffice depart ment with postal cards. By the way, the new cards, which are to be furnish ed in two sizes and colors, are to have a design that would reflect no credit upon a cross-road printer upon the ad- dress side, in the upper right hand cor. ner of which is to be a portrait of Gen eral Grant. The new contract has been ostensibly awarded to Al Daggett. the Brooklyn politician, notwithstanding the trouble the department had with him during the last two years under a similar contract, but the real contractor is George E. Lemon, the king of the pension lobby, who has carried Daggett through all his troubles with Wana- maker. Some say that Lemon is to fur nish the postal cards for nothing, the price going to certain parties who are not to examine too closely into some of the business methods of the pension king.
