that they could not he held responsible

after the term expired. The state

Archer was in Office, and the circuit

tanned the states view Of it. This de-
clsion was on dem rrcr, the case hay
ing not yet been oncluded. The bonds

bondsmen, and j. G. Hopkins, a leading
democrat, is another.

claimed that funds to a total of $l7,thlS

few days prior to the failure Quite g.
number of these, and who are known ts
have been on terms of personal friend

moned to present themselves for examk
nation, and if it is found that any IT
their number were favored with a quiet

case Of perjury against Deacon KeAn.
who has several times sworn that nv
to within an hour Of making the assiss-.
ment he had not imagined that such q
course would be necessary. The more
the failure is probed the worse it Az
pears. Another thing that is to be
probed to the bottom is the fact that the
books of the bank show an apparent
shortage between disbursements ard ~
ceipts for the first seventeen days Of
September of no less figure than halt
II million dollars. Banker Kcan's pri
vate cash book, which has not yet beer

markable shrinkage. The report oi the

Hc Stirs Up an Insurrection Which Costs
Many Lives.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Advices Peru
give details of revolution which occur
red at Lima ON Dec. 3. Hierola, the
Boulanger of Peru, had been quietly at
work for some time among the lower
classes endeavoring to create revolu-
ton which would place him in u position
OF dictator.
On the afternoon of Dec. 8. several OF
Heriola's chosen followers obtained adj
mission to Fort Santa Catalina with
about eighty men. A signal was given
and the insurrcctionists suddenly took
possession of the fort. Government
troops were called out and for two hours
fierce battle waged, which ended in
the defeat of the revolutionists. The
Peruvian consul said to-day that he had
no fear of further outbreak.
The correspondents of w. R. Grace &
Co. make light of the trouble and say
there is no further danger of revolution.
Seventy-fve of the insurrectionists were
killed in the fight at the fort.

Dupes Will Knew No One to Whom The,
Can Send Their Money.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The death OF
M. A. Dauphin promises to have an i'm,
portant bearing on the future of the
Louisiana lottery. Nobody will know te
whom to write for tickets now. Sealed
letters aye sacred, and as Dauphin was
known to hundreds of thousands of per.
sons letters with Enclosures for lottery
tickets could be sent to him, and the
postoffice department, under the anti
lottery law, was powerless to interfere
with that business. Butnow the lottery
company cannot be addressed directly
nor can it advertise who will succeed Mr..
Dauphin as president. Such an adver.
tisement would bring oil the newspapers
publishing it within the penalties of the
law. A firm name or a trademark may
continue after the death of q member
of the firm, but in the lottery case the
name is lost with the death of the in.
dividual, for there is no other Nj. A.
Dauphin and no means of replacing him.
The lottery company can choose new
president or general manager as it will
have to do. But it must not advertise
this to the public, and persons who wan,
to send thcig. money to the lottery will
now have 10 one to whom they can ad
dress it with any certainty that its re.
cefpt will DO acknowledged.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

THERE is nothing more contagious than
example.
To DIVIDE sorrow with some one Is
to tighten it,
The heart that has never suffered has
never loved.
No MAN ever goes willingly where his
heart does not lead him.
The way to do great thing is never
to neglect any little thing.
ALL the reward love ever asks is tho
privilege of doing it's best.

MARRIED IN FUN.
The Situation of a Missouri Lekislats,
and an Engaging Woman.

and an Engaging Woman.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2.-In spirit Of fur
last week d. G. Ramsay, democratic rep
resentative-elect from the Forty-seventh
senatorial district, and Miss Bessie Cald.
we'll, o charming young woman and
stcnographer by profession, went through
the form of o marriage ceremony which
is said by lawyers to be not only legal in
form, but absolutely binding.
Mr.. Ramsay, Miss Caldwell and some
intimate friends accidentally met in the
office of H. E. Barnes. One of the party
picked up copy of the Globe-D Democrat
and saw an account of marriage by
contract at Johnstown, Pa. Some one
suggested duplicating the marriage. ""'he
suggestion was promptly acted up..!.
and Mr.. Ramsay, who is q LAWYER, pro-
ceeded to draw up a contract. he con.
ditions were inserted with precision.
The paper was duly signed by Nj,
Ramsey, who promised to love, honor
and protect Miss Bessie Caldwell, OF
East St. Louis, forever. The young
lady was then called upon and in a very
solemn and dignitied manner she, too,
subscribed her name, agreeing to follow
the new legislator through all his vicis.
STUDIES, and to be his lawful wife. The
document was about to be consigned tc
the safe when it occurred to some one
that more solemnity would be accorded
the proceeding if it were attested by
lawful witnesses. This was soon rene
died, and Justice Richard j. Long, who
happened to be present, and Attorney F.
E. Willard attached their names as wit.
nesses.
Opinion is divided as to the legality Of
the ceremony. The contracting parties
were interviewed to-day, and, while
each said that it was not seriously
meant, but only intended as a joke, yet
the belief is general that they will ac-
cept the situation. Mr.. Ramsay is 30
years old, and at the late election was
elected to the general assembly by a ma
jority never before accorded a demo-
cratic representative in st. Claire
county. Miss Caldwell is pretty, petite
and accomplished.

A Great Glass.
potato.

A distinguished assemblage of mathe-
maticians and scientists gathered enthu-
siastically around plain packing box
in Cambridge, Mass, o few days ago to
look at piece of glass. 1t was ten feet
in circumference and some three inches
thick. but as it lay in its bed of excelsior
it's value exceeded 100000, and the spec
tators regarded it with the greatest af-
lection. =
The place was the Office of Alvan
Clark, the noted telescope maker, and
the glass was tho lens for the new tele-
scope to be erected on Wilson Peak, in
the Sierra Madre Mountains, near Los
Angeles, 5000 feet above the sea, for the
University of Southern California. 1t
will be the largest telescope Il! the world,
the object glass being feet 4. inches in
diameter, or five inches more than the
be sixty-five feet long, and tho, moon
will be brought by it within one hundred
miles Of the earth. The whole is the
gift of E. f. Spence, President of Nthe
First National Bank OF Los Angeles.
The glass was cast in Paris, after no
less than ITO attempts. and is insured fok
its full value in two Boston companies.s
1t will take fully two years yet to-
grind and polish it to the required focus,
and, when to all appearances complete,
the human fingers will DO called into
play to finish its surface. 1t is ground
down with red oxide of iron and polished
with beeswax.
When in position the telescope is ex-
pected to perform wonders. 1t will have
a Photographic outfit which will be three
times larger than any now in existence.
1t will cost $4,000 to transport the glass
to Los Angeles.

SHE LICKED THE sPALPEEN.
Mrs. Mier's Loquacity Loses Her the
Case Against Her Husband.


Eugene Won Volsen, a painter, was arrested
and brought before Justice Won Tobel yesterday
upon a charge of threatening to kill a woman
says she thinks she is Won volsen's wife, but
she Is not sure, as she suspects that he
deceived her about It. They were married,
she says, in Los Angeles, Cal, in March, 1890.
and they have lived near the north end of
Grant street for year. Lately her lord has
failed to support her, she says, and, what was
worse, he was paying some attention to another
woman. The other day she concluded she did
not want Won Volsen any more, and she ordered
him to be gone. He went, but he came back
and threatened to kill her. She had him ar
rested at once.
"Oi knew the spalpeen too well to be feard o.
him." she said to Justice Won Tobel, "for Owe
licked him many tonne till he was glad TO yell
Enough"
This unfortunate speech Immediately caused
the justice to dismiss the case with the costs on
the fair prosecutor.
Kate Thomas, buxom widow who lives next
door TO Anna Mier, appeared as q witness,
but her testimony was not required.
She appealed TO the painters wife for
her witness fees and the two women almost got
into fight over the unpaid amount After
they had all left the courtroom, Mrs Thomas
came back to appeal TO the judge for her fees.
"You see, Judge, a poor woman can't spend
her time running around for nothing could
made more than these fees a-washin and you
orter give me them"
She was only pacihed when the Justice told
her that II Anna Mier did not pay the fees she
should be put in Jail
