avenue, and takes number of board
ers, has a new SON law, Edward

tiously married Mrs. Brownies IA year

Brownies about year ago, and a ten
der attachment sprang up between
him and Violet. On August s Randall
took the girl out for short walk, with
the mothers consent. They went TO
a minister and were married, and
then confessed to the astonished moth
er. The neighbors say there was an
old fashioned spanking in the neigh
borhood about that time.
When reporter asked Mrs. Browne
about the affair last night she said:
.'violet is my only child, and l sup
pose has had her way too much. She
is nothing but child, and is as fit to
be a minister as wife. My son-in-
law is nice boy and comes of good
family. think he married Violet be-
cause he found out she would inherit
a good deal of property when she is OF
age.
"Violet goes to a boarding school
this week and Mr.. Randall stays here
under my roof, where can keep an
eye on him, There is one thing I've
changed in his habits during the last
few days, though" continued Mrs
Browne, as she shut her jaws together

ARRESTED BY THE POLICE.
Mrs. Noes Bike and Boomers TOO
Striking a Combination For
Steady-Going Little
Rock.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. 23.-Mrs.
Ida Noe, the handsome widow VINO
was arrested Wednesday afternoon
for appearing on the streets attired III
bloomers and riding a bicycle, was
unable to appear in the Police Court
this morning. She pleaded illness as
an excuse, but promised to be in court
this afternoon, sick or well.
Mrs. Noe is a fascinating little bru-
nette and occupies elegantly furnished
apartments in building on Markham,
in the central portion of the business
center of the city. Four years ago she
was the wife of a popular railroad
man, but for some reason he applied
to the courts for a divorce, which was
readily granted him.
She has been riding bicycle for the
past three weeks, appearing on Scott
street, which is paved with virtified
brick, and which is a favorite thor
oughfare for riders of the wheel. On
Wednesday she rode up and down
Main street, stopping at the various
dry goods stores along the route,
which caused so much comment that
the police concluded to arrest her.
She was taken to the police station,
followed by a crowd of not less than
200 persons. Here she deposited $40
as forfeit for her appearance in court
and was released. She Immediately
left the station, mounted her wheel
and rode out Scott street without be-
ing further molested.
She says she has just as much right
TO ride a wheel and wear bloomers as
ANYBODY else anywhere in the country,
and that she wears bloomers because
such dress protects her form from
the vulgar gaze of men, which is not
the case with those who appear upon
the wheel attired in skirts.
She intends to fight the case with
the view of testing the validity of the
ordinance upon which she was ar
rested. She is willing to ride the
wheel along Markham street in front
of the Police Court in the conventional
garments of her sex, and then give an
exhibition of bicycle riding in bloom
ers and let any jury that may be Sc
lected by the court decide which is
the more appropriate costume to be
worn by female bicycIers.
If the court will accept the PROPOSE
ton Mrs. Noe believes she will obtain
victory for the bloomers, and that
every lady in Little Rock who rides
bicycle will adopt them.

referred to are Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, famous for its cures of colds

There is story of Horace Greedy to
the effect that an acquaintance of his
got offended at one of the articles in
the New York Tribune, went to the
office and put an end to his subscrip-
ton. Later in the day he met the
editor and said: ''Mr. Greedy, I've
stopped your paper" "Have your
aueried Horace, adding, "Wen, that's
too bad,'' and the old hat went It's
way.
The next morning Greely encoun-
tered his former subscriber again, and
accosted him with, ~ thought you
had stopped the Tribune?'' $50 l did. ."
"Then there must be some mistake"
replied Horace, "for just came from
the office, and when | left the presses
were running as usual, the clerks were
as busy as ever, the compositors were
hard at work, and the business was
going on the same as yesterday and
the day before"
"Oh!" calculated the old subscriber,
81 didn't mean that l had stopped the
paper. stopped only my copy of the
paper because didn't like one of your
editorials"
"Pshaw!" retorted Greely,"it wasn't
worth taking up my time to tell me
such trife as that. My dear sir, if
you expect to control the utterance of
the Tribune by the purchase of one
copy day, or if you think to find any
newspaper worth reading that will
never express convictions at right
angles with your own, you are doomed
to disappointment.
The Tribune would not be deserving
of respect if it could be coerced by the
threat of one subscriber, or a hum
| dred, or ten thousand, or everyone it
has, to refrain from telling the truth
as it sees it. My friend, this is free
country, and the man who does not
give freedom of opinion to others does
not deserve it himself. Goodby."

From the St. Louis Chronicle

MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 23.-Congress-

had red-hot debate at Santa Fe yes
terday on the money question. About
1000 people were present.
After arriving in this city Mr.. Clark
was seen by a Chronicle representa-
tive at the Ringo Hotel. He was ask
ed: "What will the Democratic party
likely do with the silver question in its
national convention?'' s.Who would
be winning candidate?" "Have you
decided to make the race for Congress
in this district again?"
Mr.. Clark replied:
''The national convention ought to,
and 1 hope will, declare in favor of
restoring the silver to its ancient
place of honor and usefulness in the
coinage system of the country. I'm
doubtesly the bulk of Democrats de-
sire plain, honest, straightforward
declaration on the money question.
?. off the bimetaHists win as to plat
form in the convention Bland would
be the logical candidate. He is honest,
brave and capable. But any good
Western man who would honestly help
carry out such a platform would be
satisfactory. New York has practi-
cally had every Democratic nominee
since 1850, and certainly our time has
come at last"
