Reaidense. 80
An important real estate transfer was
made yesterday, when N. @. Oreede, the
famous founder OF Creede, Colorado.
purchased the fine feBidence Of Col. r.
]. Northam. The property Is situated
at COL South Pearl street, near Sixth,
and Is one of the handsomest residences
in Los Angeles.
The price paid was $4,000, which
figure is considered very reasonable.
Considering the general condition Of
things In the realty market, the
property brought no more than
it 10 really worth. 1t IL
undoubtedly one OF Los Angeles pref
tiest and most luxurious homes.
Mr.. Creede, having made fortune
in the famous Colorado mining camp
bearing his uaIae, desires to become
better settled in an equable climate.
For this season he chose Los Angeles.
The lucky gentleman still owns ! mine
in his town in Colorado, which at one
time paid him $1,000 day. But since
that time mining in Creede hxs dropped
q notch or two.
The sale was made by Hunter & Da-
wilson, the Broadway real estate dealers.

5. B. coRDoN's CASE.
The Attorney Makes . Fall Statement

The Attorney Makes = Fall Dtatemsnt
OF the Case.
The CONTROVERSY regarding the profes-
sional conduct Of Attorney 8. B. Gordon
has caused the publication of several
articles giving one side Of the case. Mr.
Gordon has decided TO publish bis state
ment a. follows:
BY permission Of my attorneys, John
d. Pope and Chapman q Hendrichs l
make the following statement:
From about November l, 1891, to July
2. 1892, was in the employ OF John @.
Kofoed, under the uaual implied agree
ment that was to receive reasonable
compensation as his attorney, prevent
ing 90 far as / could suits against him
by creditors, defending suits actually
brought and endeavoring to save hiH
property, valued by him ct over $780,
900, from being wholly sacrificed to pay
his debts OF about $4,000. Finding 1t
impossible to borrow on Kofoed's prop
erty the money absolutely necessary to
pay his debts left his employ ON July
2, 1892, and have never been employed
by him since. / was never in the en-
ploy of Mrs. Kofoed. On October 26,
1892, nearly four months after all connec-
tion with Kofoed had been terminated,
accepted employmentfrom Mr.. j ames F.
Cosby as his attorney to collect judg-
ment which he had recovered against
Kofoed on June 30, 1891. had never
been Kofoed's attorney to make a de-
tense to the action OF Cosby against
koioed. Had right to accept this
employment OF Cosby against my former
client, Kofoed? There iH no question of
bad faith, of deception or OF betrayal OF
confidence. My employment by Kofoed
as his attorney having ended, it did not
once occur to me that there was any rea-
son why ] should not take the case OF
Cosby vs.. Kofoed. knew Of the Cosby
judgment before became acquainted
with Kofoed, and the property which /
levied on when l undertook to collect
that Judgment was known to every body
who saw fit to consult the books OF the
recorders Office. More than that, Ko-
food had parted with all interest in the
property before / took the Cosby judg-
ment for collection. Since the propriety
oi my conduct has been called in ques-
tion by people who had reasons of
pecuniary nature for doing 60. have
laid all the facts of the case before my
attorneys and before other members of
the bar Of the highest character and
they all assure me that have scted
strictly within the lines OF professional
honor. l am both ready and willing for
the fullest investigation before any
tribunal.
This statement is made because of nu-
merous articles. prejudicial to my side
OF the case in the papers.

A good story is told OF two young gen.

A party was given by the young lady
in question, and one OF the admirers,
being somewhat OF q vocalist, was in

some mueic along to aid in the pro-

The invitation was accepted. A good

FIGHT AMONG THs SOLDIERS.

Company Q Mach Excited About the
Election OF = Captain.
, An election was held last night at
Armory hall to fill the vacancy created
by the resignation OF Capt. Theo. Meyer
OF Company @, 9TH regiment, N. G. @.
There were two candidates in the field
and the partisans Of the two men mani
tested great deal of bitterness and un-
iriendliness toward each other.
When Captain Meyer resigned some
three weeks ago, Frank L. Washburn
and Geo. L. Glowner were mentioned az
candidates for the vacancy, and since
that time the feeling, from being that of
friendly rivalry, has developed into in
tense bitterness. The result OF the cleo
ton stood 90 to IL in favor OF MI.
Glowner. Some of the Washburn fac
tion. in the eoreness OF their defeat,
threatened not to show up any more,
but as this means court martial and
d;shonorable discharge, they will prob.
ably reconsider their intention.

for hours in the market-place With
out making desert around them
Yet there never was time when the
pouring out of verse was less restrained
within bounds. Everything that oc-
ours to the poet seems, to-day, to be
worth writing down and printing, The
result is the neglect of really good and
charming work which misses all effect
because IL is drowned in stuff that is
second or third-rate. The women who
write, in particular, pursued by that
commercial fervor which is SO curious
n feature of our new literary life, and

off and hurry away into oblivion those

Touching Story OF the Life OF Once
Noble Woman.
A whole volume is comprised in a
short item going the rounds of the
newspapers. 1t is the news that Mrs.
J. G. Foster, wife of Judge Foster, of the
United States district court, died the
other day in the poorhouse of Atchison
county, Kan. Years ago Mrs. Foster
was woman of superior intellect,
charming manner and a great favorite
in literary circles. Before she was
married she was a teacher in the public
schools and enjoyed a high reputation.
She, however, became addicted to the
habit of intemperancc in the use of
liquors. For some years her husband
supported her and endeavored to lead
her away from her bad habits, but final
ly gave it up and procured divorce.
He soon after married again, land
happily" it is said, but his first wife
drifted into the county poor house,
where she has just died. Would she
have deserted him if the evil habit had
struck the other side of the family, is a
pertinent question. The assumption
based on observation of human nature
is that she would have patiently en-
dured her tronble, shielding him as far
as possible from the evil reputation his
own conduct would cast upon him, and
when he died would have sincerely
mourned his loss, forgetting all his
shortcomings, remembering only the
nobler qualities that belonged to her
ideal.-Spring6eld, Mass Republican

Two Women for One Pulpit.

A curious instance of friendship is de-
veloped in the association of two wom-
en- ministers out west. Some years ago
Miss Marian Murdoch entered the min
istry and was made pastor of the Uni
tartan church in Humboldt, la. She
soon after made the acquaintance of
Miss Buck. A warm attachment was
formed between them, and it was not
long before Miss Buck decided to enter
upon the ministry also The two wom-
en- are now abroad studying and recu-
perating and have decided to accept no
call separately. Miss Murdoch says
that her experience in the ministry has
convinced her that the entire work of a
parish is too much for one woman. She
points to the fact that minister gen.
orally has wife to help him-if not a
wife, a sister or some woman and in
large parishes man has an assistant.
The two women have just received a
call to church in Cleveland, o., to
succeed Rev, DIR. Frederick L. Hos.

WOMEN AS POETS.
Many Have Proven by Their Work the
Lofty Inspiration OF Their Genius.

Many Have Proven by Their Work the
Lofty Inspiration of Their Genius.
1t is no new theory that women, in
order to succeed in poetry, must
be brief, personal, and concen-
trated. 1t was recognized by the
Greek critics themselves. Into that
delicious garland of the poets which
was woven by Meleager to be hung
outside of the gate of the Gardens
of the Hesperides he admits but two
women from all the centuries of Hell
lcnic song. Sappho is there, indeed,
because though her flowers were few,
they were all roses" and, almost I'M
seen, single virginia. shoot of the GRO
Gus bears the name of Erinna. That
was all that womanhood gave of dura-
BILE poetry to the literature of antiquity.
A critic, writing five hundred years after
her death, speaks of still hearing the
swan-note of Erinna clear above the
jangling clatter of the jays, and of still
thinking those three hundred hexame-
ter verses sung by girl of nineteen as
lovely as the loveliest of Homer's.
Even at the time of the birth of Christ
Erinna's writings consisted of what
could be printed on page of this mag
azine. The whole of her extant work,
and of Sappho's too, could now be
pressed into a newspaper column. But
their fame lives on, and of Sappho, at
least, enough survive to prove beyond
a shadow of doubt the lofty inspiration
of her genius. She is the type of the
woman poet who exists not by reason
of the variety or volume of her work,
but by virtue of its intensity, its indi-
viduality, its artistic perfection.
At no time was it more necessary to
insist on this truth than it is to-day.
The multiplication of books of verse,
the hackneyed character of all obvious
notation of life and feeling, should, one
would fancy, tend to make our poets
more exiguous, more concise, and more
trinity grit. There are few men
nowadays from whom an immense
food of writing can be endured
without fatigue; few WHO can
