Billiard Tournament.

New YoRk, Aug. 16.-Billiard players
from all over the world are interested in
the great tournament in Paris, where
Frank Ives, the young Balk line cham
pion of the world ex-champion Jacob
Schaefer and George F. Slossen, the fa-
nous "Stndent," !" are to try conclusions
with the French experts and with one.
another.
Parisians are great lovers of billiards..
Nearly every one plays well, and even
those who do not are very good judges of
the game. Very naturally all the French
experts go to Paris, and at present
a formidable array OF famous players,
among them Vignaux, GARNER, Plat,
Gibelin, Coffart, Beau, Paige. Rudolphe,
Cure and Fournil, are in the French
metropolis to meet the Americans. Phe'
foremost billiard player in France is
Maurice Vignaux, who is so years of age,
and the hero of many remarkable game
on the green table. He is equally strong
at balk line or cushion caroms, and
Vigneaux 'sAcademy, which is run in his
name, but is not his property, is prob
ably the most popular resort in Paris.

Law and Order Man.

Oregonian. John II. McGraw, re-
publican candidate for governor of
Washington, was sheriff at Seattle when
the lawless attempt to expel the Chinese
from that place was made. He did his
duty in suppression of riot and enforce
ment of law and order-a fact which
shows that he would make a good COVER
nor. But it is just a bit dangerous to
nominate such man, or man with
such a record, in country where the
suffrage is in the hands of the great
numbers who detest those who would
put upon them the restraints of justice,
authority and law.

Retter than a Lihe1 snit.

Review. The attention of beliigerent
individuals who feel aggrieyed over the
publication of personal articles in the
newspapers, is directed to the growing
custom of challenging the editor. a few
days ago the Marquis de Mores challeng-
ed the editor of the Chicago Tribune and
now the editor of the Denver Republi-
can has been called out by DIR. Carver,
the famous rifle shot. In some respects
this is better than libel suit. The bel
ligerent receives quite as much notor4ety
the editor is more badly frightened,
and attorney fees are saved.

Lost Art pIscoyered.

Quebec Press. One of the most won
derful discoveries of recent years is that
made by blacksmith of.this city, Fer
dinand Allard. 1t is the long lost art of
hardening copper axes and other edged
tools made of hardened copper. These,
which are exhibited by him, rival the
best steel of the present day. A piece
of Allard's prepared copper has been
Tested at the government rife ranges.
A short was fred from forty yards dis
tance and the bullet was shivered into a
thousand fragments. Another shot was
fred and the missile striking more
squarely, was completely hattened.
This is claimed by experts to be vastly
superior to anything the. best steel could
do under like circumstances, and the
matter is to be brought to the immedi-
ate notice of the British lords of the
admiralty.

Charges Due to Desire on the Part OF
Mrs. Dunton's Side to Secure the
Property.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-When DR.. Henry
Martyr Scudder, Jr., died in his cell in
the county jail last June, probably from
the effects of poison administered by his
own hand, the public supposed that the
remarkable case would sink into OBJ
livion. But the family of the dead man,
who SO long as the prisoner lived said
nothing in his defense, have chosen now
to defend his memory. The first state
ment from the family is long com
naunication from a brother, DIR. Doremus
Scudder. 1t is remarkable production,
and states for the first time the views of
the nearest relatives>of the man who is
generally believed to have murdered
Mrs. Dunton, his mother-in-law, to have
tried to poison Mr.. Dunton and to have
forged will in order to obtain possess
sion of the property of Mrs. Dunton It
is strange defense. Doremus says
Henry was insane before Mrs Dunton's
death and showed homicidal and sui-
cidal tendencies. He was insane after
her death, says this near relative,
tried to kill his own father, and in all
probability deliberately poisoned him
self Yet it is the claim of his family
that Henry Scudder did not kill Mrs.
Dunton, did not try to kill Mr.. Dunton,
did not forge the Will that is believed to
be a forgery. This will, DIR. Doremus,
says, is valid. The charges against his
brother, he says, were due 10 the desire
on the part of Mrs. Dunton's relatives
to obtain Mrs. Dunton's property But
in making these harsh statements in re-
gard to the mourning relatives of the
dead woman what does DIR. Doremus
Scudder reveal on the other side? The
second will, he says, is no forgery.
Therefore it is apparent that the first
document will be contested in the inter
ests of Mrs. Dora Scudder. This is rem
dered more certain by the silence of Dr.,
Doremus Scudder regarding the cireum
| stances surrounding the making of the,
will or wills, and the attempt of DR..
Henry Scudder to remove the tin box
containing Mrs. Dunton's papers. So it
is fair to conclude that stern fight is
coming in court over these two wills.
The strange case is yet full of interest
for the public.

waste OF salmon.

Astorian. A letter from The Dalles in
the Oregonian refers to, the waste of sal

Review. One by one the presidential

startling bit of intelligence was the pro-
hibition candidate for vice president,
who appropriately enough lives in Texas.
With Bidwell to fight the wine and
brandy interests in California, and Gran
fill to antagonize the tarantula juice in
dustry in Texas, the prohibition party
ought to make decided advances this

The Fence of the Future.

There are number of strong points in
favor of the Tuna Hedge as the fence of
the future, the advantage of this kind OF
a fence may be briefly Enumerated as
follows: 1t becomes a perfect barrier
against all kinds of domestic animals
after three years growth; does not sap
or impoverish the ground, being a strict
ly atmospheric plant, and will not grow
from the seed or by cutting the roots
hence will not spread, it grows only to a
certain uniform height and therefore
does not require trimming, it has been
thoroughly and successfully, tested in
northern climates and does not kill out
in the winter time, it serves the double
purpose of usefulness and ornamen-
tation, as it is an evergreen and blooms
during three months of the year, an in
vitation is extended to thoroughly test
its merits, and every one will be col
vinced that it possesses all the advant-
ages claimed for it. sMessrs. johnson &
Payne are now taking orders for the
Tuna Hedge and have met with uniform
success. Any one wishing living grow
ing fence something that will not spread
and will be fence for all time to come
should give their orders now and get
their fence started this fall.

"Beauty I" .cithout grace

the French think. Whether it be true
or not, there are many American women
who do not even possess the hook-beau-

Why? Because they're languid, cross
and irritable. They know not what
it is to be without pain or discomfort

That's it; suffer in silence misun-

From the reports OF a recent occur
renve in L ondon society it would appear
that aristocracy exists quite independent
of the abstract matters of high morality
and etbi.s. It seems that a Mrs. Olivia
Claudine re der, of the London bautton,
fo,LIerly wore; or says she wore; a
brooch precisely similar in appearance
II n brc' n formerly owned by the wife
of Maj.-Gen. James Gibbon Smyih, also
of the haut ton. One morning Mrs.
Smyth discovered that her brooch was
missing. Then she saw Mrs. Leader
weering her own brooch. Later she OBJ
served NJ rs. Leaders, brooch exposed in
jewelers. store, where the lady had ex-
changed it in return for a clock and
some money. Mrs. Smyth had her sus-
picions end now wrote Mrs. Leader that
unlc7s five g1ineas were Immediately
forthcoming aS compensation the affair
would b2 published. The guineas failed
to arrive and now Olivia is suing the
major-generaps wife for SANDER. 1t is
impossible to determine at this distance
in whose favor the balance of evidence
will turn. The two fac-simile brooches
are as puzzlirg as pair of Dromios.
Edt this po-nt is cal not o. SO much
general irpor; rance as the incidental
reVelaU.on that pilfering of jewel-cases is
com patible with the strictest respccta-
bIity and the highest social position.
Evidently one OF the ladies must be a
bui gla~ or the other must tamper with
the truth. But no one will allege that
either has thereby lost social clste.
They ave still of the haut ton, still
a'isfocratic, still blue blooded. Society

o, casionaily civilization and its con-
comitauts figure as despoilers. To very
many the report of the completion of
the new railroad in the holy land will
seem somewhat as desecraiipg as the
sight of soap advertisement daubed
upon Mont Blanc. 1t means that
region sacred to history and romance IS
opened to the clamor of steam driven
commerce, TO the scampering tourist
and to tie georgeously-attired MILFORD
with bis kodak. The serenity of Je,d-
salem is to be broken by the hoot Of
locomotives; the holy land is to be
visited constantly by travellers who wilt
"'do" it in three days and love its sights
according to their chubby red Baedekers.
'Tnere is another side to the picture. The
new ro &C will make it possible for many
II see spot which thousands long to

visit. 1t takes time, money and pa
tience TO jo-' -ney in a warm climate

stderate donkey. Now the donkey
feature need deter no one. Travelling in
Palestine will be no more announcement

escaped certain undermining influence,
