HERsHFIELD COMPROMISES.
The Damage Suit Came to Sudden nd
and Measure of Justice Will Now
Be Done the Wronged Girl

HELENA, May 6.-Dell Hershfeld's
legal troubles with he husband, Aaron,
and his brother l.. II. Hershfield, and
Mrs. l.. H. Hershfield, are about
ended. At any rate the big damage
suit Instituted by her against l.. II.
Hershiield and Mrs. Hershlield has
been declared of. The compromise
was effected this afternoon, after the
case had actually been commenced.
1t will be remembered that Aaron
Hershfield married Miss Hogan at
Chicago in November, 1898. In
December, after a few days OF ap-
parently happy welded life, and after
the couple had returned to Helena,
Aaron Hershiield suddenly left town,
and has been away ever since. He
was induced TO 20 largely or altogether,
because Of the objections OF his rela-
tives to his wife. Last year Mrs. Dell
Hershfield began suit against MI. and
Mrs. l.. III. Hershfield on the ground
that they had alienated from her the
and had induced him to deny his
society from her; and further, that
they unlawfully persuaded him to
abandon her and leave the state.
For all these alleged wrongs, the in-
iured wife claimed that she had been
damaged to the extent OF $4,000, and
she brought suit for the amount.
The suit began today, after all
efforts to compromise had failed.
The court room was crowded. Col.
c. b. Nolan, ex-Gov. Joseph Toole and
Will Wallace were present for the
plaintiff, and Senator Carter, Judge
Mcconnell and Colonel Sanders for
defendants. The fight promised to be
hot one. All the morning session
was consumed without getting jury.
In the afternoon the work of selecting
jurors proceeded, when suddenly the
lawyers asked for "A recess. This was
given, and in a few minutes the great
array of legal lights returned.
A compromise had been agreed
upon. Senator Carter asked the
court to continue the case, stating
that it would not likely come to trial.
Judge Blake then continued the case
TO May 30, when the action will be
dropped.
1t is understood that by the terms
of the compromise Dell Hershfield is
to receive $4,000. She is to bring
, probably get. The 100000 will be
allowed her as alimony, while the
damage suit will be dismissed at once.
Besides the alimony, she will get all
the right and title to her child, which
decree will not worry Aaron one
hirty-thousandth as much as its
other provisions.

Democratic Gold Bugs.

The Anaconda Standard: Secre-
tary Morton went off wrong when he
dictated his gold interview a few days
ago. Many of the most ardent of the
goldbugs said as much; they admitted
that what he said was all true enough,
from their standpoint, but their idea
was that Mr.. Morton needn't have
been quite so frank about it-that
wasn't polite. Indeed, in instances,
effort was made by administration
boomers to have it appear that the
secretary was not accurately quoted,
but that kind OF talk cannot be mad 2
to stand. The Washington Post
said, not longer ago than last Satur-
day, "As to Secretary Morton, he
still n, mits that he said it."
Now comes Mr.. Hoke Smith-the in.
terviews are making the round of the
cabinet circle, hoping to brace up
sentiment along the line of the Cleve-
land Chicago letter, which was ex-
pected to accomplish wonders but
fell flat. That Secretary Morton is
opposed to silver first, last and all
the time, is without question. But
read the Smith interview and then un-
dertake to define him-you will find
that you can't do it.
In the face OF this mornings inter-
view, Secretary Smith can 90 to
Georgia and tell his people that he is
a bimetallist. He can trot in the
same class with Senator Hill and the
rest OF the nondescripts who persuade
themselves that it is best to stay on
top of the fence for some time to
come. Men of this sort are the most
dangerous foes free coinage has to
face.

A TEXAS STEER.
Judge Culberson of Texas Is True Son Of
His Native State

Ii new international monetary
conference be called, one OF the dele
gates thereto chosen by the late con-
gress will create somewhat of a sensa-
tion in Paris, Berlin, Brussels or
wherever the conference may be held.
Congressman Culberson OF Texas is a
character. He has a method of
speech and q manner of dress all his
own. He buys his clothing ready
made and always contrives to select
garments which could not by any
possibility be made to fit him. He
wears a turned down collar ana an
old fashioned black cravat. He loves
to sit with his chin nesting in his
shirt bosom, and the latter, owing to
an overenergetic tobacco chewing
habit, is not always immaculate. In
conversation Judge Culberson is a
true southwesterner. He has no
scruples about saying 81 done" and
81 seen it," "a heap" is one of his
favorite expressions, and he invari-
ably says ''catched" instead OF
caught. Heloves to speak OF "Injuns," /"
and his discourse is full OF quaint and
homely SMILES and bywords. Not
withstanding these peculiarities he is
a man of great ability, though not OF
great energy. He is as lazy as he is
careless, but when reused he is both
learned and witty enough to enable
him to take care of himself in any
company. Ii any of the foreign dele
gates or attaches attempt to have fun
with this homely but brainy south
western statesman. they will be sure
to uncover a Tartar.-Chicago Times

tutions, such as the equality of man
or the perfectibility of the race. or the

All these are the joint property of
many nations, part of the common

What Intense Americanism Means.

The medium through which the
newspaper acts most effectively on
the enthusiastic temperament is what
is known rs "true Americanism, or
"thorough Americanism," or better
than all, "intense Americanism." l
have studied these phrases a good
deal with a view of finding out their
exact meaning, but have not been
successful in ever getting any exact
definition of them from any one who
used them in good faith. As a rule,
ones merely asking for the meaning
of them is taken as sign OF n spirit
of redicule or mockery, which makes
real explanations OF them difficult, or
impossible. Consequently an earnest
seeker after the truth is compelled
at least such has been my experience
to rely largely on the context, or on
surrounding circumstances, or on
collateral remarks, in trying to dis
cover what they really mean who say
they are "intense Americans"
used at one time to suppose that an
intense, or good American, was a
person who was content with his
country just as it is. it's laws. religion,
manners, and morals; who was, in
spite OF it's defects, reasonably proud
OF it, and not disturbed by the judg-
ments passed on it by hostile foreign
observers. But it soon become
apparent to me that the phrase meant
much more than this. / found it did
not stand for any piece OF American
political philosophy. 1t did not mean
simply faith in any particular set OF
the ideas which are not unnaturally
supposed to animate American insti-

TIME TO PREPARE.
Durrant Will not Be Hurried to Trial for
Murder.

SAN FRANC.Co, May 6.-'Theodore
Durrant will spend several quit weeks
i'm the county Jail before he is placed
on trial for his life for the murder of
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Viii
liams. The police will not hurry him
to trial, desiring to give him album
dant time to prepare for his defense.
The case will, therefore, not be called
until July. Chief OF Detectives Lees
ssid today that the supreme court
had passed structures on the police
department for having brought to
speedy trial Fredericks, who shot
Bank Teller Herrick. Though Lees
believes the criticism unjust, he said
the supreme court would be given no
opportunity for finding the same fault
in Durrantis case. He added that
the case is ready for trial at any time.
The police are dissatisfied with the
evidence of Organist King, who, in an
effort to shield Durrant, stated at the
preliminary examination that he de-
tected the ordor OF escaping gas in the
church on May s, although this state
ment is contradicted by the ianitor
and by two plumbers. Threatening
letters have been received by the
school girls who identified Durrant as
Blanche Lamont's escort from school
on the day OF her disappearance.
The girls have been warned that II
they testify against Durrant again
they will receive physical violence.

The Cuban Rebellion.
25c.p pair.

TAMPA, Fla, May 1O.-Passengers
arriving on the steamer Mascotte say
the condition OF things is encouraging
to Cuban insurgents. 1t is said
Gamaguaya has been invaded by
Gomez, who, with 5000 insurgent =
besieped Guayaro Monday. There are
about 1000 Spaniards in the city.
After the fighting became disastrous
for the besieged "A regiment oi Cadiz
numbering about $500 arrived, at
tacking the Cubans in the rear.
Gomex quickly recovered from the
first onslaught. While small force
kept up the conflict with the forces Of
the city his main body faced the new
enemy. The fighting was very fierce,
but it is asserted the strategy OF
Gomez and the valor of the einsurgents
resulted in victory. The regiment OF
Cadiz, it is said, was shot to pieces.
The city, the passengers say, is in
possession of the insurgents. The
Cuban loss in killed and wounded is
put at 700. The Spanish loss is 3, 900.
The smallpox and yellow fever are
very prevalent. Campos is said to be
greatly displeased with the situation,
and insurgent leaders are hopeful of
another crisis in the cabinet, which
will require Campos to return to
Spain. The Cubans assert dissatis-
faction exists among the troops over
the execution of Galleyo. On his
account Lieutenant Mahi, who was
taken to Havana for execution, was
not executed, but was decorated with
medals for valor.

Sir uumphry pavy,s Strange Light.

Sir Eumphry was alone in his room
one evening attired i'll dressing gown
and n nightcap, constructed on the
ancient conical pattern, with a tassel
for the apex, of which l suppose hardly
a specimen could be found in these de-
generate days Suddenly he saw mys-
tepious light on the ceiling of his room
for which he could not account in any
way. His scientific zeal was aroused ut
once to discover the cause. 1t must be a
reflected light, perhaps from some celes-
tial phenomenon in the sky. He rushed
TO the window and looked out, but all
was as usual in the darkened heavens.
He extinguished the lamp, thinking
that its fame might have become sin
gularly polarized on the ceiling, but
there was no change in the circular light
over his head except that it seemed
growing brighter. He tried every plan
he could think Of TO explain it, but in
vain. The great man was completely
puzzled-he stood gazing upward open
mouthed, while his acute brain was in
tent ON the mystery. Presently, how
ever, no became aware that the recep-
tacle in which the wise brain was in
closed had sensation of unpleasant
warmth, while an odor, apparently due
to the frizling Of hair, was making it
self strongly felt. Involuntarily he
snatched off his nightcap, and then dis
covered that he had set fire TO the tassel
thereof In bending ever the lamp while
engaged in an experiment, and the
strange circle of light was at once ex-
plained, to his no small indignation. -
