There should also be something at

we should address a reply to Mrs. Jenny

Why is it, I wonder, that it is not con-
sidered necessary, in any language, to
give man title to indicate that he is
married while in almost all languages the
woman has title that advises US of the
fact that she is, or has been married. Miss
becomes Mrs, Senorita becomes Sonora,
and Mademoiselle Is Madame after she is
married.
This may have originated in desire to
prevent men from making mistakes, but
why shouldn't there be something in the
title of Mr.. Smith to indicate to women
when Smith is introduced to them, that
he is married or single?
There is another thing. We need some
handy title to use when we are speaking

Monsieur is used in French, and Senior in

once surrendered himself to the sheriff.
Montgomery is farmer who lives on
his place on French's slough, near town,

logging camp on the Pilchuck, three miles
from Snohomish, and has been engaged in

establishing his reputation as hard man
to get along with. He was unmarried,
and the trouble which led to the shooting
grew out of his attentions TO q young lady
who lived near Montgomery's home.
Trask had heard that Montgomery
had warned the young lady's father of
Trask's bad character, and attributed the
GOODNESS shown him by her family to this
fact
About ten days ago, in Snohomish,
Trask attacked Montgomery with slung-
shot and injured him slightly, striking one
OF his hands with the weapon. Montgom-
cry armed himself and went to Sheriff
Tompkins with his story, saying that he

Sheriff Tompkins warned Trask, who paid
no attention to his advice to keep away
from Montgomery.
Yesterday afternoon Trask met Mont
gomery on the road and stopped him, say
ing he intended TO finish the job he began
ten days before. Montgomery tried to
avoid him, but Trask put himself in his
way, and at length, as Montgomery al
ieges, made motion as if to draw a wea-
pom.
Montgomery anticipated him and emp
tied his revolver at short range, firing six
shots in rapid succession. Two bullets
struck Trask in the breast two entered his
abdomen, and two took effect in his arms.
The fatally wounded man fell in the road,
but said in answer to Montgomery ques-
ton that he was not seriously hurt.
The only witness to the affair was
young farmer named Oscar Drew, who was
about nifty yards away when the shooting
occurred. Montgomery called Drew to the
spot to care for Trask and then went to the
city, reported the shooting and gave him.

was taken in and given medical attention,
but he died four hours later
Public sympathy is with Montgomery
in the terrible tragedy.

BELLAIRE, Mich, Jan. 4-fSpecial. +
Last week at prayer meeting three OF the

quested ]. B. Hayes, one of the members
who was accused of backsliding, to speak,
sing or pray. and when he refused the
three deacons seized him and threw him
out doors, bruising him badly. Hayes
thought he was misused, and applied to
Justice kibby for a warrant for assault and
battery. This warrant was granted and
the three deacons brought before the
court. They were accompanied by crowd
OF church people.
Before each session of court the MEM
bers knelt on the courtroom moor and
prayed that the heart of the justice might
be softened. The women members of the
church brought their sewing and knitting,
and every little while they would break
into song, and the justice was forced to
suspend operations until they had nm

Hayes made strong case, and yester-
day, despite the prayers and protestations
OF church members. Kibby found the
three deacons guilty and lined each $46.
The size OF the me appalled, the deacons

whole crowd for contempt. The deacons

spondence between +. w. Valid, who was
until Saturday secretary of the board of

from the board, Mr.. Wald sent notice to
Mr.. Nadeau to have the cars standing on
the rams horn on Post street removed,
meaning the cars which stand in the rear
of q. c. Miles store on Yesler avenue.
To this he received the following reply
from Mr.. Nadeau, dated December 81.

CANADA AND HAWAII.
The Islanders Discussing Rec;procft
With the British Dependency

OTTAWA. Ont, Jan. Especial Colonel

tary of the Hawaiian islands, returned to
Ottawa yesterday TO meet members of the
Dominion government regarding recipIoo-
ity between Canada and those islands. Re
ferring to the possibility of such an ar
rangement being made, he said:
Our present commercial treaty with the United
States ends in two years from now, and there is
q strong feeling on the part of many of the
leading people in the islands that ii should be
ended, the principal reason being that by the
present treaty the United States has exclusive
control of Pearl harbor, which, after compile
ton OF the works about to be undertaken viii
be OF the finest in the world. The people
are CALLED TO see so important place monopo-
Gzed by any one power. Another
reason why many think it should be
the United states made sugar free to the islands,
while putting duty on the sugar exports of
other eount-i-s. thus giving he.sislands eoDsid-
cradle advantage: but recently they made sugar
free TO all countries, thus taking away that adj
vantage, and the people think. as consequence.
that they are justified in disseminating the
treaty. The dropping OF the treaty with the
United States being likely. the question natur-
aliy arises, where win De our next
market" We can do with Canada ell the
business we have been doing with the
states and the arrangement OF terms ought to
present no real difficulty. AZ present we import
from the states practically every thing We eat
eept meat aud vegetables, ana orr largest ex-
ports TO them are sugar rice bananas aud yege-
tables Now, We can take from Canada al the
same articles of food, with the addition OF agri-
cultural implements, which think Canada Is in
better condition 10 supply. our imports were
about s60u0,0H last year, which, think, Is worth
the attention of Canada.
