Fargo, N. D., Dec. 4.-The Hirshfield

WINS HER SUIT.
Mrs. Pomeroy Finds Herself q victor
for the Present.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. AIRS. Pome-
roy, who claims to be the widow OF
Nehemiah Hulett, the miser who died
suddenly two years ago leaving a
fortune worth millions, has scored a
big victory. The jury in the contest
brought by Mrs. Hulett against the
heirs, returned a verdict that the al
legged signature of Hulett to the mar
riage contract was genuine. Mrs.
Hulett's attorney was Senator G. X.
Davis. This does not settle the dis
position Of the estate, but ii goes a
long way toward obtaining for Mrs.
Pomeroy q one-third interest in 1t.
The courts will yet decide, as a mat
ter of law, whether such n marriage
contract as that which the jury de-
clareS the two entered into was a
valid m The best lawyers here state
that there Is no doubt that Mrs. Hulett
will win this point Of law, IL the heirs
are to test II. As some of the heirs
have already compromised, it is
thought that Mrs. Hulett will be able
to break down the remaining opposi-
ton before the next trial. The general
verdict is that justice has been done.

CauStfc Reply to Bishop Mcauaid's
Attack.

New York, Dec. 4. - The Sunday
Democrat, edited by Michael Walsh,
prints an answer to the attack Of
Bishop McQuaid upon Archbishop Ire
land. Here are some extracts from
the pungent article:
I'm his recent attack on Archbishop
Ireland, Bishop Keane and Father
Malone, Bishop McQuaid has deliber.
ately removed from himself all ground
for sympathy. 1t seems hard to speak
thus OF a prince Of the church, OF q
man who has gone beyond the years
allotted to the span Of human life.
This, however, Is the first time in the
history Of the Catholic church In the
United States that a bishop, from his
pulpit, without warrant Of justice, at.
tacks other bishops whose names are
synonymous with all that Is good and
jealous and amiable in episcopacy. lie
assails and attributes most unworthy
motives to an archbishop who thought
1t his conscientious duty, in default OF
those who ought to have forestailed
him, to step In and fearlessly rescue
the church from a grave scandal at
critical moment. Bishop McQuaid
contends that the action Of Archbishop
Ireland In invading the secret pre-
cincts Of another diocese and another
state was unbecoming a bishop, as
graceful and scandalous. The word
at large, we fear, will have ALREADY
come to the conclusion that the dS
grace and scandal Of 1t are confined 70

will be many days before these IL

GOODBYE JIMMY BURNS.
The Ramsey County Ex-Auditor Is
Missing.

st. Paul, Dec. 4.-James Fl. Burns,
~ex-auditor Of Ramsey county, had so
far effaced himself yesterday that two
detectives armed with a warrant for
his apprehension could not find him in
a tWelve-hour search, and there is a
suspicion among the police that his
former haunts will know him no more.
The immediate cause Of Mr.. Burns
Hitting was in the fact that a new
warrant for his arrest was issued at
2:3O yesterday when Louisa Reidel Of
Milwaukee, his mother-in-law. swore
out a complaint charging him with
having embezZled from her the sum
Of $746.74, while acting as her agent
and servant.
Mr.. Burns has lived for some time
In a well equipped house at 1863 Good
rich avenue. About five years ago he
married the daughter of Henry Reidel,
who was at the time a widow. The
lady had two children and some
means. About two weeks ago William
Burns Of Saginaw, Mich, q brother of
James H., came to st. Paul, and some
effort was made to straighten out
Burns affairs. These efforts came to
a standstill last Tuesday. Tuesday
afternoon Burns took an appraiser
from the auction rooms Of Kayanagh
& Johnson and asked him to put a
price on the furniture In the house.
The house was very well furnished,
but only $500 was offered for every
thing as 1t stood, and the offer was
accepted. That evening the house was
closed up and Mrs. Burns disappeared
and has not been seen since. Neither
has Mr.. Burns brother been noticed
about town. The household goods have
been taken to the warerooms of the
auctioneers.
James III. Burns was about the city
as usual until yesterday. He had not
been sleeping at his house, but that he
was in town yesterday is not to be
questioned. His brother-in-law, John
Suhr, Of 35S Smith avenue, met him
on Wabasha street yesterday after
noon at 2:30. Mr.. Suhr says that he
looked odd and did not speak to him.
That Is what accounts for the suicide
theory, and Mrs. Suhr Is the origi-
nator Of 1t. She thinks that Mr.. Burns
has made way with himself, and Mrs.
Reidel thought last night that there
might be something in 1t when a re-
porter told her that her son-in-law had
not yet been located by the police.

A saIoonkeeper Finds That wagner

A certain saloon, wishing to please

go straight ahead and play 1t to the

To a person who does not under stand
the motive power, the thing appears
uncanny; and the boys prepared to have
lots Of fun. The saloon was full Of pa
irons when somebody slyly turned on
the current and the piano started. Out
came the solemn, majestic strains Of
'Tannhaeuser." A man who was drink
ing at the bar set down his glass and
shivered. Three men playing cards be-
gan to get nervous and, finally, with
a cuss word or two, gave up the game.
Still the piano Numbered out the heavy
chords Of 'Tannhaueser," and the audi.
ence, not being familiar with Wagner.
got bluer and bluer.
The owner saw that the piano had
made a mistake and FASTENED to assure
his patrons that he had other pieces
and would put a new in. This he
did, and the mcn frightened up a little
while waiting to hear the new piece.
Many expressions Of disgust at hearing
a funeral dirge on such occasion were
hurled at the owner. Everybody had
about resumed his original attitude
when the piano was given another trial.
This time 1t vas "Lohengrin," and
while the piece was a little brighter, it
was not festive. One man declared It
had been played at his grandfather's
funeral or sisters wedding, he forgot
which. This piece was taken out and
a third tried, but 1t was an arrange
ment Of the national hymns with vari-
atoms, and was just as solemn. The
piano was closed for the night and In
the morning the proprietor rushed to
find some more suitable pieces. Now

One might suppose tha& considerable
pluck was needed to bare ones bald
pate to the vulgar gaze and go walking
through the park, especially since the
object OF the proceeding Is no longer a
secret. But the ardent desire for hair
Is sufficient to offset sneers. There
Is n man who attracts more attention
than ali the rest. He has a particular
ly long, bald head, and. being sensi-
tive. he has invented a means by which
he can court the favor Of the sun and
at the same time keep his hat on. This
is accomplished by simply wearing a
Derby, from which the top Of the crown
had been cut ont. He Is very proud
Of this invention and several Of his fell
low bald heads are about to follow his
example. Some of them urge as an OBJ
lection to 1t, that the hat prevents the
free play OF air about the head, which
Is almost at essential In causing the
hair to sprout as the sunbeams.
The Man With the Bay Window in
His Hat, as he is known In the park,
is something Of a philosopher and has

subject Of hair. The theme has engag-
ed his attention, he said, ever since M
