who allege fraud in the management.
The history of the case. as told by the
documents. is briefly as follows: The Har-
ney Peak Tin Mining. Milling and Manu-
featuring company was incorporated under
the laws OF this state on April 16. 1884. to
do business in the Black Hills region of
Dakota. The principal organizer of the
company was James Wilson. and the trus-

An issue of $4,000. 600 stock was made at
once to PURCHASE, as it is claimed. property
worth only $4,000. On January 81 a Sec
ond issue of S.. 200. 600 was made to Oliver
F. Berry as trustee. and the following year
a third issue of a like amount to Henry
clausen. Jr. The English compliments
afterwards took part of the stock which
they now say was issued to the trustees as

PANTS FOR WOMEN.

Popularity of the Masculine Garment
Becoming Alarming.
In Canada, perhaps ten thousand
women wear trousers during the
winter, of course with the skirt. In
this country, the popularity of the
masculine garment is growing with re-
marka BILE rapidity The trousers are
now and have been for years in use
for horseback riding. The fencing
costumes, also trousers, are worn
without the skirt, and in the gymnas-
iums of the fashionable boarding
schools for young ladies trousers are
worn exclusively and with excellent
effect and comfort In Europe, for
the past two years, the Turkish pants
are worn by the fashionable set foI
climbing the mountains, The same
are worn in the Scotch Highlands by
the, English women The bathing.
dress shows marked signs of following
the general movement, and at the
French resorts last summer the most
fashionable ladies appeared with the
close fitting bathing suits with knee
trousers. The effect was great i'm
provement, especially when the ladies
left the water there was no tight
sticking skirts to interfere with their
locomotion. AT Narragansett Pier the
young ladies wore the skirt extremely
shot
Mr. II. Corwin of Cincinnati, head Of
the dressmaking department at the
john Shillito company, is Of the opin-
ion that in time the ladies will aban-
don the skirt but not for many
many years" He said:
II don't think the ladies will aban-
don their skirts for some time TO come,
although the movement is surely GO
ing that way. That the ladies are
wild after mems clothing there is no
doubt Now to begin with, look at
this West fashion plate. There are
seven figures on it for ladies' styles
Five out of the seven are patterns
after mems clothing They have copied
the mems styles in every instance, ex-
cepting the trousers. There is the

bert, the double breast, the vest, shirt
collar, tie and all 1t is no wonder

ing pants and discarding the skirt.

Confessed "a Terrible Murder.

Henry Frame has confessed that he

Mrs. Miles McKendrick last January at

Libertyville, ILL.,
The murder was n dastardly one.
The woman was gagged, robbed of

Charles Macard, whom Frame impli-
Gates, is now on trial. Frame says
Macard was masked, but in the excite
ment the mask fell off. He knew the
woman recognized him, and then,
Frame thinks, Macard purposely fixed
the gag so that it would kill her, al
though at first he had no intention of
committing murder. Frame got S235

Frame gong to Chicago and Macard TO
San Francisco, where he was finally
captured. Frame learned that the
woman was dead, and then he suffered
agonies of remorse. In sheer despera-
ton he squandered every cent he had
stolen, and he had no rest till he had
unburdened his mind of the CHASTITY

Children's Eating.

Some parents compel their children
to eat against their will, as when
they come to the breakfast table

Unless we are thirsty we cannot drink

no appetite, it is revolving, as any one
may prove to himself by attempting
to take second meal in twenty min
utes after having eaten regular din
ner. The appetite, the hunger, is eX-
cited by the presence of gastric juice
about the stomach but If there is nc
gastric juice there can be no hunger,
no appetite, and to compel child to
swallow food when it is distasteful is
an absurdity and cruelty.-St. Louis

when thousands would assemble in the
great mosque, whose capacity was es-

the center of the city, and covered an

history as follows: A heather temple

the Christian church of St John, and
then, after being captured by the Mos

here could be seen the well-known
Greek inscription written on the
mosque itself: THY Kingdom, o
Christ, is an Everlasting Kingdom, and
Thy Dominion Endureth Throughout
all Generations.
Admission could be obtained by
foreigners on application to the Con-
sui, who always had to accom- pany the
visiting party. The fee was 90 francs
per party, besides sundry items of
backsheesh.
Descending to the Booksellers Ba-
zaar, visitors had to put on slippers,
which were hired by the keepers.
They then passed through the gate
way into the grand courtyard, which
was surrounded on three sides by
cloisters, resting on pillars of granite,
limestone and marble. On the south
side stood the mosque itself In the
middle of the courtyard stood the
Kubbet en-Naufara or Dome of the
Fountain, which was an exquisite
piece of workmanship. Here the
Moslems performed their sacred ablu-
tons. TO the west of this fountain
was remarkable dome, supported on
columns, called the Kubbet el-Khaz-
neh, or Dome of Treasure, which is
said to contain great quantity of
