wives and Their Husbands Titles.

In speaking of her husband woman
never makes mistake if she calls him
Mr." or my husband.' II Is sometimes
difficult to decide when the husband has a
tit!e just what the wife should do with ii.
This is the severest rule. In speaking Of
her husband she should not SAY General
A" or DIR. B." but Mr. \" Mr. B."
No matter what he is-judge, governor,
capJaIn-to her he is and should he. plain
"Air. A." Mrs. Grant never, even when
her husband was president, spoke Of him
other than Mr.. Grant. though ii j. the Gus
tom of the presidents wife TO speak of him
as 'jne president"
The one exception to this rule Of ignoring
her husbands official or professional titles
is when the wife presents him to any one
else. Then she says. My husband, Sena-
cor Smith, or simply DR.. Jones" The
reason for this is evident. 1t gives the
proper clew To the stranger who would
wish, of course, to address the new ac-
quajutance with the proper UiJle.
Last of all, let any wife take heed how
she wears her husbands title and allows
herself to be spoken of a. Mrs Governor
Jones, or Mrs. Secretary Smith" No
matter what title her husband mas. she has
no more right to Wear il than sine has TO
wear his shoes -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Crispo is Expected to Come Out Victorious
and Will Form q Government.
New YORK, Oct. 6.-[Speciall- The
Red d line steamer Venezuela, from
Venezuela ports. arrived at this port TO-
day with information of an impending
battle near Caracas, the capital, which
was to settle the long continued strife
in that country. j. B. Bell. coffee
merchant who has lived in Venezuela
for the past ten years, was passenger
on the steamer. His delineation OF the
affairs down there was corroborated by
several other passengers.
He said that on Sunday, September
25, Gen. Colina, with 5000 men, joined
Crispo, chief Of the revolutionists, at
Valencia. On that day Crispo started
for Caracas with $4,000 men. He had
decided to concentrate all his forces
about the capitol and overwhelm the
government His plans were carefully
laid. Gen. Vigas, with 500 men, started
for tho capitol from the south. Gen.
Quinturi, with 1000 men, moved from
the west. Vigas was to go by way of
Petare and Quinturi by way of Ell Valez.
1t was calculated that all would meet
In Caracas in from twelve to fifteen
days. Crispo has several European and
American generals in his army. There
is German, Gen. Widener, and an
Italian, Gen. Botalli. He has twelve
pieces of artillery. All of tho govern
ment forces have evacuated Caracas and
have taken up position at Las Tegnas,
about six miles away. The government
troops number 6 900, and are under the
command of Gen. Prelido, an uncle Of
President Prelido. They are in better
position here to fight than they would at
Caracas, and they have entrenched
themselves to meet Crispo.
1t was said that the troops of Crispo
must have arrived at Las Tegnas either
yesterday or to-day when the biggest
battle of the Venezuelan campaign
would be fought. II Crispo beats the
government forces he will Immediately
enter Caracas ard form government,
and it is expected there will be no moro
fighting. Everything points to victory
for Crispo.
The steamer Venezuela had some
difficulty with the custom house people,
but the officers of the vessel said it did
not amount to much. This WAS at La
Guyra.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Oct. 5.-TSpecia1l
"A special to the Star from Parsons,
Kan, says that the Dalton band of des-
peradoes raided two banks at Coffeyville
today, and in the fight which followed
three citizens and four OF tho outlaws
were killed. Such was the report re-
celved hero at noon to-day, with the re-
quest for officers to assist in tho pursuit
OF the fleeing desperadoes.
According to the meagre message sent
from Coffeyvi!ie, tho desperadoes, who
mum bered six mon, rodo into town after
the banks opened for business. They
divided into two bands and, drawing re-
volvers, made Simultaneous rush for
the institutions. The officers of the
banks were taken by surprise and the
oesperadoes soon secured the money in
the vaults and showed it into sacks.
Ihen the outlaw band rushed to their
horses and put spurs to them, but they
were not TO escape this time
The news spread like wildhre and
even before the desporadoes mounted
their horses armed citizons appeared on
the stree s. Winchcsters, shot guns and
revolverS were the weapons with which
the people were armed. AS soon as tho
DalGons saw the citizens thcy oponed

hVe outlaws one after the other, were
seen to fall from their horses, while
hvo citizens fell in the streets riddled
with bullets. Only one Of tho gang was
seen 10 escape he was riding as fast as
MS horse would carry him. A we'll
armed posse is on his track and will no
doubt capture or kill him.
The result OF the fusilado is that Bob
and Grant Dslton, Jos Evans and Tom
Moore, OF the Dalton gang, lie dead in
this city. City Marshal C. L. Connolly.
