NO FLIES ON his HONOR"
How . Montana Judge Administered
Justice to q Delinquent.


Justice to u Delinquent.
Judge COlman of Butte may not be
very large man, says the Butte
Mont Bystander, but when it comes
to upholding the supreme power Of
the law he looks as large as an ele-
plant. AT least so thinks MIR. ResKi
Reski is Hungarian who is reported
coming to America, and, after spend.
ing eleven years in the penal institu.
tions OF Hungary, left his native
country for his country's good.
Mr.. Reski's aesthetic taste not being
suited by :he cooking of his partner,
Mr.. NaGo, he attempted to kill him.
A warrant was sworn out, but the
officers failed to find Mr.. Reski.
Tuesday morning VaCo informed
Judge Colman that Reski was gam
bling in the combination. No officer
being present at the time the Judge
concluded to make the arrest him
self. Nagu went out with him and
pointed out the man wanted and then
skipped out.
The Judge called Reski outside and
told him he had a warrant for his ar
rest In response the Hungarian
pulled out pistol. but before he could
use it he received a ''habeas corpus"
under the ear, was dsarmed. and
marched up to court in double-quick
time. AS they were going up the
stairs which led to the court Reski
pulled another pistol. a A Colts, and
saying, "Me kill YOU now," attempted
to shoot, but again the Judge was too
qu ok Tor him and. knocking him
down, took the second gun away from
him, and besides giving him a
good humping read him lecture on
the evils OF endeavoring to obstruct
the course Of Justice, after which he
was escorted to the court room, his
case set for trial, and then marched
down to the city Jail. Upon being
searched a belt OF cartridges and an
cight.inch dirk were taken from him,
in addition to the pistols secured by
the Judge.
If any State in the Union has a
nervier lawgiver than Judge Colman
we world like to hear from it. The
| Judge can be found in his office at all
hours of the day or night.

DR.. DvORAK, the eminent Bo-
hemian composer, now visiting this
country. is out in startling musical
theory. He declares that the negro
melodies furnish a foundation upon
which American composers should
build. These melodies are abundant:
they are popular. So far they have
not grown beyond the lyric form.
They express almost every phase of
human emotion, and it is asserted
that they can be developed into
operas, oratorios, and symphonies
To show the influence and grace which
they possess DIR. Dvorak has himself
written symphony-the longest
form of musical eXpression-reflecti
these melodies. What do clans and
composers think Of Dyorak's theory?

AT its session in Milwaukee the
American Medical Association re-
ceived from DIR. Ernest Hart, editor
of the British Medical Journal, an
elaborate statement in regard tC
cholera. DIR. Hart sketched the pro-
gress OF the disease through different
countries and the mode of its propa-
cations, with especial reference to the
affirmation that cholera is 0lth
disease, carried by dirty people to
dirty places and there spread by the
use of dirty water" This is proved
by the history of it's spread in En-
gland, France, Russia, India, and
other countries. In every case where
the facts could be ascertained with
sufficient clOseness to warrant the de.
ducton the outbreak Of the disease
was traceable to the use of contami-
mated water. 1t may be considered
as demonstrated that there is nc
value in the theories OF cholera con-
tagicn being due to anything else
than specifically polluted water. Tn S
is not merely an occasional or adju-
want case, but the prime cause OF al
most every great epidemic OF Asiatic
cholera. Further. when the use Of
the poisoned. water has been aban-
doned or cut off the epidemic has
ceased. Hence we should aim at Sc
curing purity OF our water, our air. our
soil, and our habits. This achieved,
cholera need be feared no longer.
Every means should be employed for
impressing these facts upon the popu.
lar mind and to use the knowledge as
a powerful lever to push forward the
war against filth already so we'll be-

Il Vhistltng Dying Out?


Time was when whistling men and
boys were almost as common as
whistling birds, when the streets and
workshops would rcsound with the
sbrill music of the merry whistler;
hut nowadays the Practice seems to
be dying out.
To hear a man working to the &C
compartment of his whistle, or serv.
ant maid singing as she sweeps out
the house. is an undOubted indication
of his or her humor; for people sell

One is seldom tempted in these
days to offer a boy a piece of string
to tie UP his whistle, for the very
simple reason that the opportunities
for such Joking are comparatively few

their courage and scare the CHESTS
away. It is a question, however, il
persons are more thoughtful to day
than they were century or so ago
at least. we must not look TO Other
causes for reason why whistling is
going out OF fashion.
Boys of the present generation
make no attempt to cultivate the art,
because Of their mouths being toe
! much occupied with the everlasting
! cigarette or pipe; while the practice
of chewing, so general among the
artisans at their work, and the
presence Of the pipe between theft
lips as they go to and fro, prevent
them enjoying the less harmful in
diligence of whistling so common a
few years ago The most that many
men can now perform in the way OF
whistling is the long drawn-out wall
when an unusually surprising piece
/ OF information is told them.
Perhaps. if whistlng dies out
amongst men, the ladies will preserve
the practice. despite the awful threat
that

LOOKING over the whole country,
nothing strikes the eye which can be
construed into genuine premonitory
sign OF disaster All the staples are
low in price in comparison with the
past. There is no speculation in Wall
street and little in the Pit at Chicago.
The position of the industrial stocks
is rot satisfactory. II the Whisky
Trust should fail, on the heels of the
Cordage Trust, other industrials
would probably follow the example,
and some disturbance might result.
But the great trusts are probably out
of the wet The Standard Oil is in
liquidation, and the Sugar Trust is
probably impregnable A dozen OF
the smaller trusts might collapse
without bringing down a single bank
or a notable banking house. 1t might
be wished that the disproportion be-
tween imports and exports at New
York were not SO large as 1t is, eS-
peciallv just after the banks have lost
So much gold for export. But in the
present days of arbftrage a profit of
1 of per cent. on impOrtations OF
specie would bring al the gold back.

it raised the rate of interest to per

when everybody is doing business
with someone elsc's money, i'll gales
are always possible, and. when they
come. frail tenements may go down.
But at the present moment, the rea-
sons for fearing spread of the Aus
tralian epidemic to this continent

How Our FOrefat theirs Slept.

In the earliest times the whole
family slept in the common hall.
The first improvement was the erec-
tion of the solar or upper chamber.
This was above the hall, or portion
of it, or over the kitchen and buttery
attached to the hall. The arrange.
ment may still be observed in many
of the old colleges OF Oxford and
Cambridge.
The solar was first the sleeping
room of the lord and lady, though
afterwards it served not only for this
purpose. but also as an ante-chamber
to the domitory of the daughters and
maid servants. The men Of the
househcl I'D still slept in the hall be-
low; later on, bed recesses were con.
trived lin the wall, as one may find in
Northumberland at the present day.
The bed was as rue, except tor
the ladies of the house, merely big
bag stuffed with straw. A sheet
wrapped round the body formed the
only nightdress. But there were also
pillows. blankets. and coverlets.
The early English bed was quite as
luxurious as any that followed after
until the invention OF the spring
mattress gave new and hitherto
unhoped for joy to the hours of night.
The second step in advance was the
ladies', bower. room or suite OF
rooms set apart for the ladies of the
house and their women.
For the first time. as soon as this
room was added. the women could
follow their own avOcatiOns of en-
broidery, spinning, and nee1lework
Of all kinds, apart from the rough
and noisy talk Of the men.

THE problem Of the surplus female
population in England is serious
one, and the steady diminution of
marriage. in addition to the tendency
of Englishmen to seek wives among
the daughters Of the Phillstines, is a
burden grievOus to he borne by the
fathers and mothers of large families
Of girls. 1t was proposed in Lon

How To Boil Fresh Fish.

The greatest mistake in boiling fish
in general is to plunge it into boiling
water. The fresher fish is the bet
ter, we do not know that any fish
improves with keeping, and some, like
bluetlsh cannot be eaten in perfection
away from the sound of the ocean
waves.
To boil salmon or halibut have
ready three quarts of clear, coldwater
in the fish kettle. Add one sliced
onion. half a carrot, eight red pep
pers, one bay leaf, sprig Of parsley,
two tablespoonful of vinegar, heap
ing tablespoonful of salt. Lay the
fish on the perforated tray of the fish
kettle, submerge it in the water and
place the kettle on part OF the stove
where it will come quickly to the
boiling point.
After it comes to boil let it boil
only one hour or until the bone in the
center is loosened. 1t is very much
injured by cooking any longer. IN
derdone fish is very Objectionable.
Large fish are served whole with the
backbone carefully removed SO the
flakes will not be broken.
All boiled fish should Re served
with a hot sauce. We give the recipe
for Hollandaise and oyster sauce.
Take a scant half-cup of good but
ter. Beat the butter to cream and
add the yolks OF three eggs, and the
juice OF half lemon. Add sliced
onion, six peppercOrns, and one bay
leaf Set the bowl containing the
sauce in basin of boiling water and
stir it continually for a moment.
Then add little boiling stock with
little grated nutmug and tea
spoonful of salt. When perfectly
smooth and of the consistency of GUS
tard strain through a sieve, and .
teaspoonful OF butter and serve.
A very good oyster. sauce may be
made by scaIding twelve oysters in
their liquor, then strain and skim
the liquor using cupful to the Hol.
landaise sauce, when this IL done add
the oysters finely minced

At Roseneath, in Argyllshire.
there is an echo which repeats eight
or ten notes from a trumpet, but in
a much lower tone than the original;
then, after momentary silence. the
notes are again repeated. but still
weaker, and, strange to relate, after
another short interval OF silence,
they are repeated for the third time
in a tone SO faint as to be scarcely
audible.

A Complicated State OF Affairs in San

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-Matters
relating to the Geary law are more
complicated here than ever, Monday
Judges McKenna and Morrow, in the
United States circuit court rendered q
decision in the case of Jim Lee and
three other Cinnamon, for whose ar
rest warrants We're asked. The court
recited that the United States district
attorney had conceded the right of
judges to issue such warrants on the
complaint of citizens. 1t was ordered
that warrants be issued as prayed. and
that each Chinaman be given separate
trial. The last clause is regarded by
many as practically rendering the law
imperative.
Five Chinese brought here from Los
Angeles were to have been deported
yesterday, but their attorney having
been denied writs of habeas corpus,
took an appeal from the order, thus Sc
curing a stay of proceedings
