A Conspiracy to Disfgurea Plaintiff In .
Divorce suit.
A complaint WAS filed in the district
court yesterday by Robert G. Scott. asking
for a decree OF divorce from his wife Mar
Qaret. They wers married at Medicine
Hat, in tbs district of Alberta, N. W. T., ON
March II, 1888. Mr.. SCOTT alleges that his
wife was guilty of adultery with James
Allen at Calgary, NV. T., Oct. 8. 1883. He
also says that she entered into I conspiracy
with Forbes Brsdin to d%isigure him for
life by the use of ohloroform, a razor and
aoid, and that she was thwnrted by her fell
low conspirator who put Scott on his guard.
Just how the three articles were to be used
so rs to disigure him, the plaintiff docs not
state. The inference is that he was to have
been put to sleep by the ohloroform and
then ths razor and ncid used. The com
plant says shat Mrs. SCOTT does not live in
his state to the best knowledge of the
plaintiff.
Two other suits were commenced. II. f.
g. kloinschmidt, OF Helena, brings an &C.
ton against some Denver parties to FORE
close a mortgage for $12.341.13 on property
in the Rosodale addition. The defendants
are Andrew Patten. the Northwestern Land
and Investment conpany and Il. w. u.
Griffith. A. X. Barbour represents the
plaintiff. Harry G.. Sterling sues to recover
$780, 20 md $50 attorney fees for ELECTRIC
light fixtures placed in the Bon Ton restau-
rant on South Main street. The defend
ants are William Msllsn, John W. Sparrow
and John A. Walcott. ."

But 1t Was 3 Bad Night to Have Had a
E. .@ Worse Fire. a--
Shortly after half past ten O'Clock last
night, whom the wind was blowing a good
sized gale. an alarm of fire was sounded
from box 25. Realizing that if 4 fire got
any kind of Roadway on such a night. it
would be q bad thing to stop, the depart
ment got to the scene as fast as the slip
perry condition of the streets would permit.
It was found that the fue of
the chimney on tho house at the
northwest corner Of Fifth avenue
and Ewing street was atre and the sparks
were flying about promisouously in the
high wind. The fire was soon ~extinguished.
The house is owned by Mrs. N. /. Groshon,
formerly a teacher at the high school.
Damage slight.
About an hour before this fire Policeman
Martin discovered what might have been q
pood-sizsd blaze. He found that some hot
ashes in q box in front OF the Austin house
had burned through the box and set fire to
the wooden sidewalk. He stamped it out
promptly.

have preached. as near as | can tell.
about $3.50
During these past years have learned
two or three things. Among others
have learned that ''all things work to-
gether for good" My positive mode Of
preaching has sometimes seemed TO stir
the hostilities of all earth and hell. Feel
ing called upon fifteen years ago TO ex-
plore underground New York city life,
that | might report the evils to be com
batted, took with me two elders of my
church and a New York police commits
sioner and policeman, and explored
and reported the horrors that needed re-
moval, and the alluremeats that en-
dangered our young men. There came
upon me an outburst of assumed indig-
nation that frightened almost everybody
but myself That exploration put into
my church thirty or forty newspaper
correspondents, from north, south, east
and west, which opened for me new
avenues in which to preach the Gospel
that otherwise would never have been
opened
Years passed on and preached a series
of sermons on ADJUSTMENTS, and a false
report of what did say-and one of the
sermons said TO have been preached by
me was not mine in single word
reused violence that threatened me
with poison and dirk and pistol and
other forms of extinguishment, until the
chief of Brooklyn police, without any
suggestion from me, took possession Of
the church with twenty-four policemen
to see that no harm was done. That
excitement opened many doors, which
entered for preaching the Gospel.
After awhile came an ecclesiastical
trial in which was arraigned by people
who did not like the way | did things
and although | was acquitted of all the
charges, the contest shook the American
church That battle made me more
friends than anything that ever hap
pened and gave me Christendom and
more than Christendom for my weekly
audience. On the demolition Of each
church we got a better and a larger
church, and not disaster, not a carica-
ture, not persecution, not an assault,
during all these twenty-three years but
turned out for our advantage, and ought
not to believe that "all things work to-
gether for good?" Hosannah!
Another lesson | have learned during
these twenty-three years is that it is not
necessary TO preach error or pick flaws in
the old Bible in order to get an audience:
the old Book without any fixing up is
good enough for me, and higher crit
cism, as it is called, means lower reli-
gion. Higher criticism is another form
Of infdelity, and its disciples will be-
lieve less and less, until many Of them
viii land in Nowhere, and become the
worshipers of an eternal What is it,
The most of these higher critics seem
to be seeking notoriety by pitching into
the Bible. 1t is such brave thing TO
strike your grandmother. The old Cos
pei put in modern phrase, and without
any of the conventionalities and adapted
to all The wants and woes of humanity,
L have found the mightiest magnet. and
we have never lacked an audience.

Why an Extra Session?

The leading papers are talking, we
see, of an extra session of Congress
for the purpose of reforming the tariff.
Now, if 1 understand the law of reci-
procity, and the power that was vested
on the President at the time the Nc
Kinley bill was passed, when Cleveland
gets on the saddle all he will have to
do, therefore, is to carry out the law
With an able cabinet what is to hinder
him from making treaty with the
European powers-a tariff, | may say,
based according to his original views
and letting all articles. that go into use
with the common people free, of duty,
but placing high duty Oh silks, and
so forth, but leaving the Mckinley bill
as it is to the nations that would refuse
to allow our wheat, plows, beef and
canned meats in their ports free of
duty. This can be done, think, with
out the aid of Congress. When that
body does meet they will have plenty
to do in regard to the financial affairs
of the country, the income tax, and the
repeal of the Federal election laws.
No, it is unnecessary to have an extra
session of Congress. TEXAS.

A Crime to be Punished.

That it is the duty of government to
protect it's citizens against the evils of
society everybody comedies, and yet,
when theory is applied to the suppress
sion Of the liquor traffic as the great
est of all evils lS-ObjectiOns are urged
both against the wisdom and policy of
such action, unless it be the OutgrOWth
of all overwhelming popular indigna-
ton. This is not sound doctrine; nor
is it applied to other matters. Both
Congress and legislatures define crimes
and prescribe penalties for their punish
ment. Early in the history of the GOV
ernment, Congress prohibited the sale
of Intoxicating liquors to Indians, and
authorized the seizure and destruction
of such liquors if offered for sale within
Indian territory, and yet there was no
popular demand for such legislation,
though the protection of the Indians
required it. Congress now prohibits the
manufacture and sale of whisky eX-
cept it shares in the profits of such pro-
ductiOn, and to enforce its demands,
authorizes the seizure and destruction
of all illicit distillatiOn; and yet there is
no popular demand for such legislation,
though the press and the people exult
in it's execution. So legislatures define
and enact laws to punish crimes. When
it became evident in many states that
the vending of lottery tickets was an
evil, it was prohibited, though the rights
of individuals holding property therein
were invaded. SO obscene books and
pictures may be seized and destroyed
with impunity for the protection of the
public morals. SO the rights and inter
ests of individuals are protected by
thousand statutes upOnnO other demand
ditiOn of things and the necessities of
the people.
Now, how absurd the theory that,
before the liquor traffic, the fountain of
almost all other evils, can be prohibited,
public sentiment must be educated up
to such a standard as to demand such
prohibition. If liquor selling is a crime,
if it is productive of crime. then it
should be SO defined and punished, for
the same reason that cOunterfeiting,
gambling and other crimes are SO defined
and prohibited.
But" it is asked, "Of what use are
such laws If they cannot be enfOrced?"
Better far that the liquor seller should
be branded as an outlaw and made to
feel the whitening scorn and contempt
which pertain to such relationship than
that he should be protected under Ii
cense while public sentiment demands
his punishment.
Our whole license system is fraud.
If liquor selling is proper and legit-
innate business to be done, it need no
protection of law. If it is wrong and a
crime, then no system of protective leg
islation can make it right. Boston
