His Peculiar Name.
Washington City Pos

Everybody is laughing over the latest
remark of a society woman whose habit
OF getting words wrong is proverbial.
They were discussing Mr.. Mackay-Smith
before her not long ago, and somebody
said:
as his name Smith, with Mackay for a
middle name, or is il all one nance"
IT'S all one name" she said. 'He writes
it with a siphon.'

Shea was handcuffed to a keeper. Wnen

legal reason against the sentence imposed
upon you?" Shea answered IN nrm

Monday, December g. Shea's aged par

were in the court. When Shea was leo
into the court room the women crowded
about him, crying and trying to hold the

Bartholomew Shea was one or United

Robert Ross, Republican poll-watcher, IN
cold blood. Sheas political friends tried 10

intense indignation. The New York Times,
the leading administration Democratic pa
per of the United States, published full
page exposure of Ed Murphy's system or
organized thugs. The enormous Repub-
Iican majorities of 1894 and 1895 were in no
small part due to the exposure that foI-
lowed Bat Shea's crime.

Unlukikus- Goes to the
Masquerade.
BY CLARENCE IL. PEARSON.

Unlukikus went to the masquer-
ade last night. He had been before,
and sneaked in with his over coat on
ana his hat in his hand, and had look
ed on rs long DIS he dared to stay;
but the last time he had voted it a
bore, and SO yesterday he had deter
mined t. 90 i'll costume and enjoy
all the sport to be had beneath an
impenetrable disguise.
SO yesterday forenoon he embraced
a convenient opportunity and slyly
dropped around to the costumer's,
where he asked to be shown a suit
that would tit a man about his size
he was getting it for some one else
After trying on every garment i'll the
lot, he hit upon pirates garb, with
huge breecheS reaching to the knees,
striped low-necked shirt surnount-
ed by a short WASTED jacket, and a
head-gear that reminded one of a
loose ioihted Ounce cap. Then he
selected mask which he thought
appropriate, with a prominent nose,
fiery red cheeks and a ferocious
moustache. He paid his money,
gave fictitious name, and smuggled
himself and his bundle back to his
Office without having attracted at
tention.
AT noon he didn't eat much din
ner, but excused himself on account
of business and hurried back. In
the afternoon he samtered up and
down Central street until he met one
of the managers OF the bal masque,
and, as If had just occurred to him,
stopped that dignltary, backed HIM
into a doorway, aud ,boughta ticket

to go'. lie went home to supper as
usual, but couldn't eat. He conided
to his wife that an important lodge

she needn't sit up on his account
Then lie babe her All affectionatc

Unlukikus went along, and took
Quakeress for part
ner in the Virginia reel. AS they
passed through the crowd on to the
floor, our hero thought he heard
somebody remark, in a low voice:
"Unlukikus, III bet! know HIM
by his ears" But this was soon
forgotten in the mad revelry Of the
dance. The tun grew fast and furi-

much emphasis rihgt in the middle of
the set. The same motion caused
his mask to slip down, and with face
uncovered he sat there, the cynosure
of all eyes. A shout went up, Gun
lukikus, Unlukikus!" echoed upon all
sides.
He didn't wait to hear any more.
They tried to stop him, but in vain.
Rushing out of the hall, he collared
his hackman in the vestibuIe, dragged
him down stairs, forced him onto the
box, and babe him drive, anywhere
AS soon as his trembling hands could
free him from his plratical mcum-
ORANGES, he stopped the hack, told
the driver to take those buds back to

plunged down dark street in the di-
Irecuon of his home. His faithful
wife walked as he entered the cham.

every time The hack went over a
jounce and seht Unlukikus head

up gamcly for the next round and
made another effort to end the exits

crowned with success, and he stood,

In saying so wish it to be distinctly understood
that make no charge, cast no aspersion utter no
complaint of the course pursued by this lady. 1t
was my privilege to her once, and but once, In
May, 1892, in this court. gentler, more lovable,
more noble and generousminded woman the
spacious world cannot again AFFORD. She looked
up to Henry Miller IS man Incapable OF doing
wrong. To her he was the embodiment of ability
and goodness. She herself had been cared for by
the tenderness of her husband and knew nothing
about business Upon this subject i quote MIR.
Miller's words, "Never has she taken any
part the administration of this estate" All her
powers were delegated to her son. He acted for
kher. Miller never consulted her. Everything was
done through her son.
Now 1t favored Miller's position that his dead
partner had in moment OF blind confidence ap-
lawyers soon advised him-as must have been
manifest TO the dullest understanding of layman
or lawyer-that the position OF surviving partner
and of executor of the estate OF deceased partner
were absolutely antagonstic, that their duties were
hostile and conflicting, and that man could
with honor, however much he might profit under
take the task of occupying both. Miller paid no
attention to the admoniion. The position of
advantage. and what mattered it that sense of
delicacy, of propriety of Justice would have
made high-minded man spurn the advantage? 1t
was nothing TO Henry Miller He seized upon the
advantage and made the most of il. His position
was clearly outlined by his own counsel, Mr.. Eu-
gene h. CARRIER, upon the accounting, where he
said:
$50 far as the first years subsequent TO the
tue of the contract between them and under the
advice of counsel, there was no occasion for him to
contract the business. And, moreover, Mr.. Lux
was there, and Mr.. Potter WAS there, and Mrs. Lux
