Mrs. Chaplin, one Of the ". Q. T. o. work

the home Of young married couple, and
the wife said to her: ."Now, Mrs. Chapin,
I'm willing to entertain you, but don't want
you to talk temperance, for II you should
convert my husband then Ed have to Danish
wine from our ts.ble. and all my friends would
call me crank" Mrs. Chapin spoke at the
public meeting and then made her way
through the audience trying to get signers to
the pledge. She begged the young husband
to sign, and he was reaching for the pencil
to do 80 when his wife objected, and with
smile he shook his head and said, ''No.'
Six years sfterward Mrs. Chapin passed
through the same place. She was the guest
this time Of another family, but after her ad-
dress was over a weeping woman and glib
bering drunken man came up, to greet her;
1t was the same couple who had entertained

REACTION AGAINST ALCOHOL.

Comparing statistics Of the last thirty-two
years, the London Lancet comes to the con-
clusion that there appears to be "a distinct
and steady reaction setting in against gem
eral alcoholic imbibition-a fact which lends
support to the view that the evil OF intem-
perate drinking, as its wretched consequences
become more and more painfully manifest
will finally work out its own remedy"

BRINGS MORE TROUBLE ON HIMSELF.
Ex-LaWyer Wharton Sets a Trap Il
Catch Suckers.
He Then Walks Into It BimseIf-Re
suit of an Attempt to Bride
Lawyers Clerk.

Z. T. Wharton. the whilom lawyer,
sional tactics, is again in trouble, and if
the allegations that are made should be
proven the trouble is one that he may
not emerge from easily.
Mrs. Wharton recently obtained q
divorce from him, but the terms of the
decree were not satisfactory to her, Judge
Catlin holding that the charge of inf
deity was not clearly proven. Since then
Clinton L. White and w. p. Harlow,
Mrs. Wharton's attorneys. have obtained
new evidence on this point in the nature
of depositions by Mr.. and Mrs. Tinnon,
as they were about to depart for Texas.
On this and other points the attorneys
had decided to ask for a new trial, and
had prepared an affidavit to sustain their
motion.
The story is that Wharton learned OF
the existence of this affidavit and his
heart yearned for its possession; that he
entered into negotiations with clerk in
Harlow's s office TO that end; that the latter
informed Mr.. Harlow and Mr.. White,
and was told to go ahead and make a
pretended dicker with Wharton.
Thon dummy or bogus document was
prepared, and-according 20 the story
told by the lawyers-the clerk. w. j.
McCurdy, made an appointment with
Wharton and delivered to him what pur-
ported to be the genuine affidavit, for
which Wharton gave him his note for
so, as follows:
SACRAMENTO, Cal, S-24, 1895.
Fifteen days after date l promise 10 pay to
tie order Of W. j. hlcCurdy the sum OF If
teen dollars tor value received, at - per cent.
interest per - until paid, both principal an 4
interest payable only III United States gold
coin, and, II case suit Is brought 10 collect
this note. or any part thereof, promise to pay
such additional sum rs the court may adjudge
reasonable as attorneys fees III said suit
Il. +. WHARTON.
This was on Saturday last. and now
every body is talking a bout the trap which
Wharton set for himself and then walked
into.
Perhaps Wharton may conclude to
cause McCurdy's arrest on a charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses,
out in such case the wideawake clerk
might be able to prove an ''alibi."

GREAT WALLACE SHOWS
What Colorado Paper Has to Say of
Them.

What a Colorado Paper Has to Say of
Them.
The Great Wallace Shows, combined
in one circus, will exhibit in this city on
Wednesday next. 1t is easy to claim
that circus will be this or that. but the
criticism that follows it's performance is
the best evidence of its merit. Here is
what the Aspen, Col, Times says of the
Great Wallace Shows in comparison with
the one that preceded them:
1.-The Great Wallace Shows arrived in
due time yesterday morning and pro-
ceeded with preparations for its eXhib BIZ
ton of truly the greatest show on
earth. The people of Aspen were some
w nat approhensive at iirst, for they had
not forgotten the fake called the New
Great Syndicate Shows, which was here
earlier in The season, about which the
only thing great was the gang OF
thugs, thieves, gamblers and swlndlers OF
every sort, who were with 1t.
lit was DELIGHTFULLY."- refreshing to look
on the Wallace show and its people from
the time the five blocks OF cars pulled in
| till tn were reloaded and pulling out for
| Grand Junction. The cars were all of
special build ana were new; elegant
| sleepers and dining cars were the abode
of The 400 people with the show, and they
| lived like kings. Three hundred horses
were sta Uleu III palace stock cara. The
Syndicate SHOWS had the toughest
looking collection Of box cars ever put on
wheels. and Lie people lived and looked
like enigralis.
At is really a gross injustice to the
Wallace show tc name it Ill the Same col
uinn with The 'Syndlcate,' but as both
have been hero this season it is but Justice
to tell the truth concerning both.
Tine Wallace show was the biggest and
best ever Ia Aspen, while the so-called
New Syndicate was gbout the worst. IL
may AS oil be stated that the only now
thing about The syndicate is lis name.
The Wallace show regarded its advertise
ments as pledges and faithfully carried
them out. while the Syndicate did
nothing but skin everybody it could.
| The " ailace shows parade was full
mile loug, aud It's horses were the finest
and best cared for lot ever with tented
exhibition; the Syndicate made an OK
cuss OF parade, and its horses were a
rare collection OF curbed, spawned, ring
boned, miseraEly fed and poorly groomed
ones.
"Ihe Wallace show has q grand menag-
erie Of about thirty-tlve species of the
widest and rarest of the animal creation;
The Syndicate had a few old cages of

be out or tielr misery. he Wallace
show had thousands OF good seats free,
besides spacious section of reserved
! opera chairs, while the Syndicate had
not a good seat that was lot reserved, and
they were about as comfortable as rail
fence.
Tho Wallace performance was moro
than two hours long, and every performer
was q star: all were young, bright and
handsomely wardrobed. The Syndicate
outfit hurried through every act to give

Some excitable or chagrined newspaper
man last week started the cry that the
Folsom Prison officers were trying to
suppress something or other in connec-
ton with the recent fatal accident to a
convict named Robinson.
The report of the Coroner's inquest,
published in the RECORD UNION at the
time, fully explained the nature of the
accident and everything connected with
it. On Friday night the Prison Directors
inquired into the affair, and they too
found that Robinson's dsath was the re-
suit OF his own carelessness.
Perhaps the poor convict win now be
