LOOKED HER LAST ON A Llv NC SON
Affecting Parting Between Calvin Christie
and His Mother.

and His Mother.
Kalispell, Mont. Dec. 20.-Calvin
Christie, the murderer who is to hang
tomorrow, passed a sleepless night last
night. He played cards with his guard
most of the night. He dreaded the final
meeting with his mother today. He
said he could stand everything better
than to bid his mother good bye. Mrs.
Brumley. his mother accompanied by
her husband, called at the Jail at this
afternoon. She wanted to enter the cell
but Sheriff Gangner offered her chair
just outside the cell door. She again
asked to go inside and on being refused
told the sheriff he was heather. The
murderer kneeled down and offered
prayers together with his mother. A few
days ago he professed faith and says
he will die Christian.
The parting scene between the DOOM
ed young man and the grief stricken
mother was a sad picture. She was al
most speechless and wcpt bitterly, near
ly swooning away as she was about to
leave. After she had left he displayed
more feeling than at any time since his
arrest last April He paced to and fro
in his cell and shed tears. but soon
frightened up and was shaved. He re-
fuses to make any statement but has
given something to minister here, the
nature of which is not known.
Sheriff Gangner invited the CORE
spondent and few others into the Jail
yard and made a final trial with a 200
pound weight. The trap was sprung and
everything worked perfectly. The rope
is the one that Osnes was hanged with
recently at Benton. The execution will
take place at 10 O'Clock in the morning.

BURcLARlous PLOTS EXPOSED.
Plans to Rob the Boise National Banl
and Other Institutions.

Boise, Dec. 22.-J. w. lift, indicted for
forging Attorney General Parsons
name to several bank checks, has Civ
en- Chief of Police Shellworth a sensa-
tional story, which was at first doubted,
but which, upon investigation, seems
the embodiment of truth. lift said a
gang of men came to Boise a short
time ago for the purpose of robbing the
Boise National bank of this city, and
probably doing other work in that line,
and that some OF them are still here.
Tiff gave the names OF the men. He
said that one Oakley, notorious
craftsman, was among them. He also
implicated a Boise man. whose name
the chief refuses to divulge. The gang
gave their plans to Iliff. according to
the story, and asked him to join them
in the venture. He refused, so he said,
on account of his family being here.
The chief says from facts subsequently
brought to light he has reason to be-
lieve lifts story.
KILLED BY THE TRAIN
A man was struck by the Union Pa
cific train, near Huntington, yesterday
and instantly killed. He was mutilated
beyond recognition, but the inquest

Hoyt and that he was a prospector
He was almost totally deaf. The rail-
road was exonerated from all blame.

NO DANGER OF CHEAP JAP LABOR
1t Can Not BE Imported Without the
Consent of Our Government.

Washington, Dec. 20.-It appears
from a special report to the state de-
partment from United States Consul
Smithers of Hioga, Japan, that there
is very little danger to be apprehended
to the United States of an influx of
Japanese cheap labor. BY new regua-
tons recently issued by the Japanese
government, immigration companies
are required to secure the approval of
the countries TO which emigrants go,
and this can be withheld at any time.
The Meiji Emigration Company, estab-
lished at Hioga in 1892. with the object
of sending emigrants to work in the
coal mines of British Columbia, has
been unsuccessful in the enterprise.

COLLEGE GIRLS REVENGE.
The President Was Punished and the
Girls Were Happy.

The President Was Punished and the
Girls Were Happy.
They may talk about the college
boys and their hazings and tricks,
but for real genuine fun you cant
beat the college girls" said a young
freshman to a reporter of the New
York Advertiser. Last year--you
know the mems college is right near
our seminary, and so they call on us
every evening--the President made
a new rule.
"He declared that we must dismiss
our guests at $3.50, and we decided
we would not do it. After a great
deal Of plotting and planning we hit
upon delightful plan, and II was a
great success. The boys secured a
big basket and two ropes and a
pulley for us, and this we hid dur.
ing the day and at night fastened
to two great hooks on the sill Of our
study window. The boys sent up
their cards in the baskets, and then
after inspecting them with lantern
to make sure they were not burglars
we hauled them up.
But one night the grave aud dig
nifed President caught us and plan
ned little surprise for us. He
found one OF the boys cards in our
rooms and placed Il in the basket.
II worked beautifully and we hauled
him half way up before any one
thought Of using the lantern. Then
Miss Flyaway held il out the win
dow and took peep at him. One
glance at the spectacles and bald
head was enough. II was lucky for
that President that we did not let
him fall to the ground in our horror
and amazement, but we held on to
the ropes until we decided what to
do.
ave couldn't let him down again,
he would only come up and catch
us, and we could't drop him, bad as
he was, and we certainly didn't in
tend to help him carry out his plan
by hauling him up, so we compro-
missed by securing the ropes aud let
ting him hang there in midair. He
begged and implored to be let down,
Offering us any bride We could wish
for, and wasted more eloquence OH
US in that first hour than he did
during his yearly lectures. But we
had no visitors that night; he
amused us aud we wanted revenge
so we left him. He tried To jump
to climb down the wall and up on
the rope, but failed in everyt hing
At last he howled, yelled like an
Indian till every one in the town
was aroused and even the boys
turned out to see the terror Of Their
worst Nightmares, crimson with
rage, suspended in midair ia q
eliot hes- basket"

WELSH RABBIT.
II Is Mistaken Idea to Call this
Dish a Rarebit."

II Is a Mistaken Idea to Call this
Dish q Rarebit."
Welsh rabbit has become very
popular OF late as a supper dish
after the thrater or social gather
ings. At card parties the hostess
often regales her guests with Welsh
rabbit after al evening spent at the
whist table. II Is not strange, there
fore, that fashion papers should be
publishing recipes FOR Welsh rabbits.
II is strange, however, says the
Rochester Union, that a paper like
Harpcr's Bazaar should use the spell.
ing "rarebit," rs il does. when il is
perfectly established that the right
spelling is rabbit" The Century
Dictionary refers to welsh rabbit"
as "a term Of jocular origin, formed
after the fashion Of Norfolk capon,
a red herring, etc." and adds:
sowing to an absurd notion that
rabbit in this phrase is a corruption
Of rarebit las II u rare bitJ, the word
is often so written" In this connec-
ton the Century quotes the follow
ing passage from Macmillan's Maya
zine: "Welsh rabbit is q genuine
slang term, belonging to q large
group which describe in the same
humorous way the special dish or
product or peculiarly OF a particu-
lar district. For examples: An Es-
sex lion is a calf; a Fieldlane duck
is a baked sleeps head; Glasgow
magistrates or Norfolk capons are
red behring's; Irish apricots or Nun.
ster plums are potatoes; Gravesend
sweetmeats are shrimps."
Some one Of those many persons
who are always fooling with the
English language, trying to make il
what 1t is not, started the silly liea
that in the term Welsh rabbit" the
word rabbit" was a corruption OF
rare Bit" aud finally some lexico-
graphers fell into the error. One OF
these was Noah Webster, who was
by no means infallible, and he gave
the term Welsh rabbit" currency to
this country. Consequently it is
found so spelled on the bills OF fare
in most restaurants. The incorrect
ness OF this spelling has been point
ed out SO often in newspapers that
it is about time the keepers OF rest
aurants learned the fact and printed
the word on their bills as il should
be. AT any rate let the hostess offer
her guests that fine old dish OF good
Anglo-Saxon parentage, the Welsh
rabbit, not the debased and illegiti-
mate "rarebit."

sAMPsONS,s LAST GAME.
Makes a Grand Average of Nearly
Eight.

Fight.
The fifth and last game of the second
series of exhibition billiards between
Sampson, at 14-inch balk line. and T. P.
Foley at straight rail. at the Foley bill
lard parlors. was played last night. 1t
was understood at the outset that each
man was to play 200 points Oh each
evening, or LOCO points in all. Sampson
never failed. in either of the five ex-
hibitions, to knock out his 200 points
with the greatest ease. His grand
average for this series was Z 97-129.
The slowest game by either player was
that of Thursday night. The banner
high run of the series for Sampson was
71-made Tuesday night. Sampson
made his 200 last night in twenty
four innings. with an average
of SO. His highest run was
q. His other double figures
were: %. Is, 10. "a. IA, 81. The short
est and most brilliant game, in many
respects. was that of Friday night,
the score stood: Sampson, 200; Foley,
1872. The latter made his highest run
fer the week last night-62. He went
into double figures six times. the other
five being: IL, IL. 20. II, IA. Foley's
average for this game was also S%, and
his grand average for the series, AZ.
Interest through the week has never
tagged.
Now that Sampson has done so we'll
in the two series. it has been suggested
that Frank Thayer, who won the Hotel
Metropolitan billiard tournament last
fail. ought to come out again He is
prime favorite with many, and if
match for series of five games at
fourteen-inch balk line for Sampson
and straight rail could be arranged be-
tween him and Sampson it would prove
hot attraction, II
Mr.. Foley stated last night that his
regular annual summer billiard tourna-
ment would begin about four weeks
from today-a little past the middle of
July. he is arranging now the handi-
caps for the several players. The
GLOBE would suggest that the handi-
caps be as follows: Sampson fourteen-
inch balk iine), 300; Hoa fourteen inch
balk line). 800; at straight rail-Clow,
800: Thomas, 500; Thayer. $50; Foley,
$50; Estes, 200; Clark. LIS; Dickinson.
