SANTA WAS STUCK.
A Pennsylvania Farmers Woefu1 Expe-

PITTsBURG, Jan. samson Gotholtz,
farmer living in Slippery Rock town
ship, near Castle, Pa, met with an ex-
perience Christmas eve that will keep
this festive occasion green in his mem
DRY for many years to come. On Mr..
Gotholtz's farm is an old log house built
by his father, who came from Germany
and settled on the land many years ago.
The family now occupy modern resi-
dence, but the old log house has been
preserved, and Christmas is celebrated
there every year. Mr.. Gotholtz decided
to treat the children to a new sensation
and give them new faith in the existence
of Santa Claus. The little folks were
put to bed as usual in the old homestead.
Mrs. Getholtz dozed en- a couch and
shortly after midnight Mr.. Gotholtz,
disguised as St. Nicholas, assembled the
roof and prepared to descend the wide
chimney and appear to the children from
out the cavernous depths of the great
fireplace. His body filed the fue and
when about eight feet from the top his
clothing caught on projecting stone
and he stuck fast. Finding that he could
not release himself he began calling for

LIVINGSTON, Mont, Jan. Henry and
George Rockinger, Cook City miners,
spent the holidays in the guard house at
Livingston, for killing an elk in the Ma

were out of meat and their families were
suffering, but their horses, guns and
bedding were confscated by Captain
Anderson, commander at Fort Yellow

On account of his severity the captain

CeleStialS Willing to Submit to the
New Registration Law.
METAL PICTURES BARRED
All Wishing to Remain I'm Montana Must
Be Photographed According to Rules
and Regulations.

BUTTE, Jan. 1.-Registering Chinese
is in progress under the amendment to
the Geary law, giving them until May
8, 1894, in which to register. The law
provides also that these who registered
under the act of May 5, 1892, must take
out new certificates. Although the
Chinese were bitterly opposed to the
Geary law as it was first passed and
stubbornly refused to comply with it,
under instructions from the Six Com
panies they have changed their minds
since it was amended, and there is no
doubt that they will now register.
"Louie," the local representative Of
the Six Companies and general Chinese
boss, says there will be no more trouble
about registering and that he will ad-
wise all the Chinese to take out their
certificates without delay.
Major Almon, deputy internal reve-
nue. collector, has just returned from
Missoula, Hamilton, Stevensville and
Philipsburg, where, in accordance with
the law, he advised the Chinese of their
rights under the new act and notified
the leading Cinnamon to instruct their
taken at once so as to expedite matters.
This was done so that when the collector
visits these towns he can get through
with the Cinnamon in very few days
instead of staying in each of them two
or three weeks, as he might otherwise
have to do. James Conley, special dep
uty, has notified the Chinese at Deer
Lodge and Anaconda of their rights
under the new law.
The main feature of the amended
Geary act, as applied in Montana, is all
applications for certificates have to be
forwarded to the collector at Helena,
where the certificates are made out and
returned to the deputies who distribute
them. In letter received by Major
Almon from Collector Lyman he refer
red particularly and emphatically to the
photographs of the Chinese, which must
be sun pictures of sufficient size and
distinctness to plainly and accurately
represent the entire face of the appli.
cant, the head to be not less than one
and one-half inches from the base OF
the hair to the base of the chin. Nc
: tintype or other metal pictures will be
received. This regulation must be care
, fully complied with and all deputies are
instructed to see that each photograph
is an accurate likeness of the applicant

MILLS RESTORED TO A PEACE BASIS.
son of the Texas Senator surrenders His
Permit to Garry Arms.


wAsH1NeroN. Dec. 3O-Chs. H. Mills,
the son of Senator Mills of Texas, to-
dav appeared in the police court and
voluntarily surrendered the permit
which he had secured only few days
ago authorizing him to carry pistol.
The publication of the fact that his
fathers life had been threatened by a
crank, and that she son was acting as an
armed bodyguard, induced him to give
up his permit. The publicity he said
was unpleasant and was calculated to
defeat his object, and therefore he de-
cided to ''restore himself to a peace
basis"
Don Jam, the New Jersey crank who
has been writing threatening letters to
the Vice-President and to various sena-
ators, including Mr.. Mills, is still at
large. Nothing has been received from
him for several days and it is supposed
that the secret service agents have been

IDAHO ORES ON TOP.
beat All Worlds Fair Competitors in a
Smelter Test.


BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 31.-An interesting
fact developed that Idaho distanced all
competitors at the worlds fair in the
mining department in smelter test
after the fair closed There was sharp
competition over smelter returns from
the ores sold. New Mexico led off with
so ounces of silver and 10 per cent.
lead. Utah got $500 for six tons, and
Montana got $500 for 16 tons. Then
Idaho came in with $1,000 for 10 tons,
the returns being las ounces of gold
per ton, $40 ounces of silver and 40 AZ
per cent. lead. The remaining states
refused to try to match it. New South
Wales admitted that their ore could not
match it. Washington people gave their
ore away and Colorado did likewise.
The 5,20O-pound chunk of Bunker Hill
and Sullivan galena was purchased by
the American association of exhibitors
to be exhibited at Antwerp. Idaho has
received IL medals, awarded in the min
ing department.

DOMAIN In the Tolls.

"
the man who has been sending threaten
ing letters to Vice President Stevenson,
Secretary Lamont, Senator Mills and
other prominent public men in this city
for several days past, was arrested by
Detective McDevitt tonight. MeDevitt
recognized DOMAIN from a description
sent out and after his arrest he was also
identified by Detectives Weldon and
Boyd, the two headquarters detectives,
who had been on the lookout for the
fellow since Vice President Stevenson
received the first of the five threatening
letters which have been addressed to
him. This afternoon they received in
formation that the man they wanted had
been seen hanging about several Seventh
street stores, and were on the lookout.
When first seen by Captain McDevitt
DOMAIN was talking to disreputable-
looking stranger. The officers approach
ed and entered into conversation with
the man, who admitted that his name
was Joseph DOMAIN and that he had
sent the letters, not only TO Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson, Secretary Lamont and
Senator Mills, but had also sent similar
ones to President Cleveland, Senators
Gordon and Sherman, and one to each
of the New Jersey senators. Captain
McDevitt then turned his important
capture over to the headquarters detec-
tive, who locked him up at the First
Precinct police station, where he was
soon after seen by reporter.
DOMAIN was lying on bench smoking
a strong clay pipe. When his name was
called he sprang up and came eagerly
to the bars. AT first glance the idea of

There are already a number of cleo
trio launches on the Delaware and
Schuylkill Rivers, and they have proved
themselves the best kind of sea craft.
Experts say they will in time displace
both steam and naptha crafts. Not
having steam at their command they
are without a whistle and therefore
cannot comply with the rules of the
road. The captain and crew do not
have to be provided with certificates OF
competency, because the law only ap-
plies to vessels propelled by steam.
The absence of smoke and steam adds
greatly to the popularity of these lit tie
boats, which were first brought into

Something more than fifty years ago,
