DENVER WANTS TO COME IN.

Colorado Offers to Join the Inter-Mount-
ain Base Ball League.
The people of Colorado are anxious to be
represented in the proposed Inter-mount-
ain base ball league. The Denver CORE
spondent Of the Sporting Life has the fol-
lowing to say: eff the magnateS of the
Montana league were wise they would try
and induce the queen city Of the plains to
join their league and make it an Interstate.
The great rivalry that has always existed
between Montana aud Colorado as mineral
producers and at drilling contests would be
q very important factor when Butte. Helena
and Denver met for supremacy on the dia-
mond. TINE, the distance between Denver
and Butte is quite lengthy, but the guar
antee could be arranged to cover this
point. Denver is q great Saturday and
Sunday town, and games dtaw large
crowds. Plenty of suburban towns with
quick transit abound, and the ''cranks'' are
getting hungry for t. good article of ball; so
we hope our Montana friends will look
favorably on this scheme and write Presi-
dent Packard, of the Denver Base Ball club,
and get his views on the subject"

Notaries Public IN the New Counties are
knocked Out.
According to an opinion BY Attorney
General Haskell the n~otaries public who
live within the boundaries of this five new
counties recently created by the legislature
will have to procure new commissions, that
is, if they intend to do business at the old
stands. Says tho attorney general:
1.-THE creation of a new county ont Of an
old county woul have the force and effect
Of removing n county officer from office
who lived within the boundaries of the new
county at the time of its creation, provided
he did not Immediately thereafter remove
within the boundaries of the old county.
and the same rule applies to notariss public
who live within the boundaries OF the new
county.
The act Of Legislature in creating a new
county absolutely changes the residence of
the notaries public living therein from the
old county to the new. and has all the force
and effect of a resignation or a removal
from the county. and thereby works a re-
vocation Of the commission Of all n~otarios
public so situated.
Had the legislature seen fit to incorpor-
ate a saving CLAUSE in each one of the acts
creating and organizing new counties, to
the effect that the organization Of the new
county should not work a forfeiture Of Of
flee OF notarles public living within the
boundaries of the now county, their rights
to the office during the time for which they
were commissioned would be preserved"

ELOPED WHILE PAPA PRAYED.
Miss Gritman Disappeared From tile
Meeting as If by Magic.

Miss Gritman Disappeared From tile
Meeting as If by Magic.
SCRANTON. Pa. March 5.-Miss Lois Grit
man. a daughter OF Harrison M. Gritman,
of Forest Hill. Wyoming county. and
Arthur Vanderveer, an athletic saw mill
hand, fell in love last fall, and soon be-
came engaged. Gritman, who owns oon-
siderable timber land, was displeased when
his daughter told him that shs had prom
ised to marry Vanderveer. and refused to
give his consent, as the young man was a
comparative stranger in tho neighborhood,
had no property and but little education.
Miss Gritman had been away to school,
and her father wanted her to wait un-
til she had q better offer. She said she had
waited as long as she intended to, and
Gritman commanded her not to receive
Vanderveer's attentions any longer. The
young man idn't call at the house again
and Gritman fattered himself that he had
broken the match.
The lovers met occasionally, however,
and a few days ago they decided to elope
meeting at the Forest hill school house,
about a mile from the Gritman residence,
and Gritman took Lois in his cutter and
drove TO it. Mics Gritman had put on her
best clothes, and it had been planned by
the couple that Vanderveer should look in
n certain window of ths school house when
he was ready for Miss Gritman to join him.
Gritman WAS praying when Wander
veer's face appeared at the window.
and Miss Gritman, who was the only
person in the little congregation that saw
1t, got up unnotlce1 and went out. Van
derveer had come to the schoolhouse with a
hand sled. in order not to excite any sus-
picion in the n~cighborhood. and Miss Crit
man. who understood the programme. lost
no time in seating herself Of it. Then
Nanderveer drew his sweetheart nearly two
miles to Shorts Corners, where he had q
double team and cutter in readiness under
a shed. He flung the hand sled over the
fence, tucked the robes around Miss Grit
man, told the horses to go, and started on
his way toward the New York state line
with his intended bride.
Gritman didn't miss his daughter till the
meeting was out. and became greatly e1-
cited. No one in tho congregation had seen
her leave the room. and the mystery of her
Disappearance deepened rapidly. Gritman
drove home, and when he found that Lois
wasn't there he hurried to all their rela-
tiyes, and then drove down to Shorts Cor
ners, where no learned that Lois and her
lover had driven off together an hour and q
half before. Gritman was so overcome
with grief and modification that he con-
Guided not to say anything, md he de-
cided not to pursue the runaway couple.
Vanderveer and Miss G itman drove all
night, and on Tuesday forenoon they got a
Broome county Clergyman to marry them.
Then they started back. reaching Forest
Hill Wednesday afternoon. and stopping at
the house of j. N. Perry, Vandervesr's en-
ployer. Gritman declares that he will never
forgive them, but tho n%eiehbots say they
know better.

ONE MILLION LOBSTERS.
The Annual Yield of a Farm Lying Off
the Coast of Maine,

the Coast of Maine.
There is lobster farm-or pound, as
it is called-twelve acres in extent at
Southport, Me. The Boston Globe de-
scribes this pound, the most successful
on the coast, whence one million lob
sters are shipped each -ear The pound
is formed by building solid dam
across a tide-water cove. This dam
does not quite rise to high-water mark,
but across the top is placed fence of
iron rods, preventing the Holsters from
escaping. In the spring and fall bust
ness is most brisk. When the fisher
men bring the Holsters to the pound,
the fish," as they are called, are
hoisted to the dam, measured, and
those which are more than ten and one
half inches long, the legal limit, are
thrown in. If lobster is clever his
life in the pound may be long and full
of joy If he is stupid he will be fshed
out with drag seine and packed in a
barrel, with piece of ice for pillow,
and sent to Boston. The seine is made
of stout Irvine and is weighted at the
bottom with a heavy chain. Along
the top is a row of corks, which sustain
the weight of the seine while the chain
drags on the bottom of the pound. A
single cast of this seine will bring up
Holsters enough to fill eleven barrels.
The chain as it sweeps along the bot
tom stirs up the Holsters, which imme-
diately shoot backward into the slack
Irvine. In taking them out the men
wear heavy mittens, though even then
they are often nipped. In the pound
the Holsters are fed salt herring, men
rowing about in skiffs and pitching the
herring overheard. This is called
feeding the Chickens" and it takes
about six barrels to make a light
luncheon for the flock, There are said
to be number of old hardshells in
the Southport farm which for years
have evaded the casts of the drag.
Two of enormous size have become
quite tame and crawl about in the
shallow water. The age of the lobster
is debated question. The small mar
ketable specimens are generally sup
posed to be from four to six years old,
but some Holsters are believed to live
to the green old age of twenty-five
