APPEARANCES DECEIVE.
Tho PiOus Man Is Introduced t
NTitohoIJ o,.;1 E'inhfo

Tho PiOus Man Is Introduced to
Mitchell, the Prize Fighter.
He was man of plety and child-like
simplicity of character. He had his
own notions about the eternal fitness of
things and liked to ventllate them oc-
caSionally for the benefit of his sinful
fellow-man, says the New York Herald.
1t CHANGED that he was present on re-
cent notable occasion when match for
a boxing contest was made between
Mitchell and Corbett. His presence was
accidental and he was Mortified when he
discovered what was going on. His first
impulse was to flee from the spot and
seek some quiet place where he might
mediate upon the depravity of unre-
generate human nature. But then it oc-
Cured to him that by remaining he
might find an opportunity to point Il
moral which might make somebody feel
like resolving right Off to be better
man for the rest Of his days. So he de-
cided to remain.
(which is Mitchell?" he asked of a
young man who was towering on the
outskirts of the throng that surrounded
the pugiliStic stars and was WIckedly re-
joicing that he was permitted TO be
present and take 1t all in.
NOW. this young man, 1t pains me to
say,was exceedingly guiieful and hadn't
that respect for the man of pieIy which
he ought to have had. Instead of indi-
eating Mitchell. whei is very good
looking fellow and about the last man
who would be picked out of a crowd as
professional pugilist, he jerked his
thumb in the direction of sporting
writer, who by reason of his partiality
for beer and his aversion to exercise
had become both fat and bloated. He
couldn't have stood up against a feather
weight for one round. if his lite de-
pended OH it. - -.
We'll, remarked the man of piety.
after gazing intentlv at, Ills features for
a minute, "that is the most repulsiye
face that | ever saw. But it Is just
what l should have expected. When a
man becomes brute the Lord puts Il
mark upon him that proylaims what he
is to his fellow-men."
After the match had been arranged
another young man, vino wasn't guile
full, introduced the man of piety to the
genuine Mitchell.
Why" he stammered, somebody
told me that that man over there was
MIR. Mitchell. Why, you-you don
look like brute.''
NO." replied the quick-witted En-
glishman. somewhat nettled, land you
don't look like fool.''

THE CIRCUS CONTINUES.
Hamilton's Opinion of Starkey's
Capabilities.

Nothing essentially new or particu-
larry Interesting was developed in the
Starkey- johnson contest yesterday. II.
E. P. Hamilton resumed the stand when
the hearing was called, and was imme-
diately opened upon by both attorneys
with fire of questions, The witness
affirmed his belief that Starkey was not
competent architect or practical en-
gineer. One feature not down OH the
programme was red-hot "scrap" be-
tween the attorneys, when MichaelS for
Starkey, demanded that all the ex-
pert witnesses in the case ex-
cept the one on the stand
be excluded from the room. Mr.. Sever
ance shook back by moving the excIu-
sion of Walter lie. the architect who,
the attorney for Mr.. johnson claims,
has been coaching Attorney Michaels.
The latter claimed that the similarity
of answers by all the witnesses to lead
ing questions was due to the fact that
each was simply repeating what lie had
heard the other say. After very warm
discussion all the witnesses, with Mr..
life. were excluded from the room. and
the inQuisiIion went on. An adjourn
ment was had at 4:30, with Mr. Hamil-
ton still on the stand, his testimony
being unfinished.
Speaking of Starkey's eligibility Mr..
lie, after he had been excluded from
the room, SAID that while Mr.. Stdrkey
was certainly deficient in the theory of
architecture, his long practice had rend-
cred him fairly well equipped for the
duties of the office of building inspector.
During the examination of Mr.. Hamil-
ton the witness became incensed at the
repeated questions of Mr.. Michaels and
refused 10 answer. Some delay was
Occasioned. but the witness finally
answered the question, and the tiresome
farce went on.

Special to the Globe.
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 15.-Betrayed
and deserted, that is the sequel of the
disappearance of Eta Mcbride, the
Minnesota school teacher, as the news
comes from the center of South Caro-
lima. Details are very meager, but the
police authorities of Charleston are coll
tident that kilograms they received to-
night furnish the clue to the mysterious
disappearance. The description of the
young woman who eloped with an un-
known man from Charleston at the time
Miss Mcbride disappeared tally SO COM
pletely and fully with the description
of Miss Mcbride that the police think
they are one and the same.
The story is that with a
view to wiping out all trace
of themselves, the young woman and
the man, whose name is not known,
took row boat and rowed out from
Charleston and up Cooper river. Land
ing at point some distance up, they
bought horse and buggy and started
inland. They went to Mount Pleasant,
but visit from detectives to that town
developed that they had again disap-
peareu from there. Tonight kilograms
we're received by Chief Martin, ofCharles-
ton, stating that woman, believed
to be Eta Mcbride, had been found in
the woods near Pregnalls, Oh the South
Carolina railway, about fifty miles from
Charleston. The story is that the woman
is in trouble and sick; that she has been
deserted, in short. Detectives have been
dispatched to the place, but it is remote
from railroad and telegraph, and no
definite news can be expected before
tomorrow.

An Important Ruling Regard
ing q Warehouseman's
Obligation.
The Telephone Company
Comes Out Badly in a
Damage Suit.
Variety Of Legal Knots I'm
tied for Lawyers and
Litigants.

Two decisions were filed yesterday in
the supreme court. One of the appeals
disposed of was that of Clara e. Con-
over. respondent, VS.. Harry b. Wood
ct al, partners as Security Warehouse
company, appellants. This case is one
which comes up from the Hennepln
county district court, and the finding III
favor of the respondent is based. as the
syllabus shows, on the neglect of the
warehouse men to notify the owner of
certain household goods stored with the
defendants of the removal of the goods
TO another warehouse, by which act the
insurance policy on the goods was
voided. and the plaintiff made loser.
The defendants claimed that they had
notified the insurance company'S agent
of the removal by calling him through
the telephone, but this was denied by
the agent, and the court held that even
had such a vague verbal notice been
given it should have been ratified in q
more formal manner. The syllabus
reads:
Defendants, warehousemen, received from
plaintiff, for storage, Certain goods. she 10

goods insured in the warehouse where they
were In contemplation OF their removing
the goods at some indefinite time 10 another
warehouse, they agreed with her TO give no.
tice when the goods were removed, SO That
she might have the insurance continued
upon them in such other warehouse. They
removed the goods and failed to give her no.
tice. BY the removal the insurance became
void. The goods were destroyed by fire.
They had no authority from her to make any
arrangement for the insurance. De-

FIGHTING In MEXICO.
Story of Battles and Skirmishes
in chihuahua.

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. IA mining
man, well known on this frontier, has
just returned from the mountainous
regions of Chihuahua and reports that
people have flocked to Termochi bv
hundred and urged on by a priest, de-
clared themselves against the govern
ment, and so serious did DiaZ consider
the movement that soldiers were sent
to capture the leaders and disarm the
people. The first detachment of
troops entered Terochi without re-
sistance but soon fell under
the influence of the priest and
joined the revolutionary forces. A Sec
Ond detachment was sent, and upon ar
irving at the town were met by the rev.
olutionists, and a bloody battle was
fought, in which twenty regulars and
nine rebels were killed and MANY
wounded on either side.
The troops succeeded in capturing
the town, but the rebels escaped to
Sonora, robbing and plundering along
The route. Following closely upon
this another battle was fought at
Los Almas in which the revolution
lists came out victorious and with
out the loss of man. Eight federal
soldiers and their commandant were
killed and arms and ammunition capt
ured and distributed among the revolu-
tiOnists. who, up to the time of the de-
parture of the miner mentioned above,
still held possession of the town.

and strkingly like that of IA human be-
ing; though she would not only wiring
her hands, but sometimes her feet also,
which made the spectacle still more
touching.
Her daily occupations and amuse-
mentS were most interesting. She
would gather grass and leaves about
her to make nest, and deeply resented
any meddling with her property. Some
times she tried to unite the knot in a
cord which bound her to a post, and
would then rage at any one who tried
to prevent her, beating at him with her
hands, and, in short. behaving like a
very bad child.
Whatever her mood, however, she
was sure to regard Livingstone as a
friend. and, in Offering battle to any
one else. was glad to put her back
against her employers legs, evidently
finding in his backing up'' not only a
physical but a moral support. She
seemed. in some respects, to be adopting
the manners of the higher race, and
showed the marks of civilization in
many slight actions. For example, she
scrupuously wiped her hands with a
leaf when they were soiled, and on
going to sleep would always cover her
self with mat.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 15.-In opening
the defense in the Curtis case to-day,
Attorney Wilson stated they would
prove Curtis was not left-handed; that
the nipper on his right wrist would
have prevented him from shooting
Officer Grant, and that Curtis did not do
the shooting; that witnesses had been
tempered with by the police and the
testimony suppressed. Wilson said on
the night in question Curtis was under
the influence of liquor, and near the
corner of Third and Folsom streets
was accosted by man who asked him
for a light for a cigarette and
reminded him of having played with
him years before. They walked several
blocks. Curtis trying to get rid of the
man. Suddenly he was knocked down,
when Police Officer Grant came up and
arrested both of them. The other man
started to run and Grant put the
nippers on Curtis wrists. Curtis
did not know he had been robbed
till he reached the station. The officer
took the two men across Folsom street,
when the first shot was fired. Two
other shots followed. and believing him
self shot at Curtis broke and run.

Mitchell appeared rather Unexpectedly

through her attorney called upon the
state to furnish evidence 10 the
other side to establish its
plea of present insanity. This motion

Miss Mitchell, who was in court dur

utterly unconscious of her situation.
At the request Of the court, she had
lifted her veil, and did not attempt
while in court to lower it.

NO SITE YET.
The Wood Harvester People in a
Quandary.


Quandary.
While there is no cessation in the
activities of the interested parties, no
site has been selected for the Wood
harvester works, and none is likely to
be for week or so. This fact is about
all that any of the gentlemen in posi-
ton to have inside Information seem
willing to admit. The workings are of
the mysterious sort. and one party will
not breathe word for fear some one
else may take advantage of it.
The localities proffered by public
spirited citizens have been visited by
the committee OIL sites-MeSsrs. War
rem, Tibbets and Driscoll-and now they
are comparing notes. Each apparently
has certain value or advantage over
the other, and the question of which
presents the greatest aggregation of adj
vantageS is the point that has yet to be
figured out. Some of the sites offered
are considered too far from the center
of the city, and those within easy radius
are somewhat cramped for space. There
also seems TO be some miSapprehenSiOn
over the offer the company desired Tor a
site, and, it is said, new bids are to be
called for

pany'S Bill.
The committee on claims from the
board of aldermen refuse to assume the
burden of responsibility of recommend
ing the payment of the claims of either
the Azotine company or the st. Paul
Sanitation company. The former puts
in a bill for S9l6.66 for gathering and
destroying garbage, and the other asks
for S75 for hauling away dead animals.
This is much-mooted question. There
is clash of opinion among councilmen
concerning the validity of the claims,
and the committee at its session yester-
day concluded to report them back to
the board of aldermen this evening
without recommendation.
The matter of the claim Of Mr.. Little
came up. He asserts that he fell
through the Cook street sidewalk that
had been damaged by washout last
summer. and sustained serious injury
thereby, and he asks that his suffering
be assuaged by the city by giving him a
satisfactory amount of the current coin
of the realm. The claim was referred
to the corporation attorney.
