Ben Butlor's Wit,

As lawyer Ben Butler was alway. ready with witticism, even at the ex pense of the presiding judge. Once he was retained as counsel for the plaintiff in o libel suit against certain Bostor newspaper, and during the cross ques tioning of the publisher, the genera sought to bring out that the paper was not a strictly frst-class sheet. To prove this he began reading advertisements of a somewhat shady character an6 asked the witness if he was acquainted with the person who inserted it. Tc each of these questions the opposing counsel would object, and. of course be sustained by the court. Still, But Ter persisted in similar questions, his intention being to force the idea upor the jury. Finally the judge turned tt the famous lawyer and said, sternly "Mr. Butler, won't you please ask 6 proper question:" That's precisely what I'm trying to do, your honor" was the prompt reply. Wont your honoi suggest one?"-Boston Budget.

Why She Was Sorry.

He had been worshiping her for months, but never told her, and she didn't want him to. He had come often and stayed late-very late-and she could only sigh and hope. He was go- ing away the next day on vacation, and he thought the last night was the time to spring the momentous question. He kept it to himself, however, until the last thing. It was eleven-thirty by the clock, and it was not very rapid clock.
 Miss Molly" he said, tremulously, "I am going away tomorrow"
 Are you?" she said, with the thought iessness of girlhood.
 "Yes," he replied; "are you sorryp"
 "Yes, very sorry," she murmured. "I thought you might go away this evening""
 Then he gazed at the clock wistfully and said goodnight. - Philadelphia Times.

An Ex-ArIzonan Serving Time in An
 English Prison.

The Mable Stanley, the young Amer icsn woman now imprisoned in England for stealing iswelry, was at one time the wife of James Jones of Yuma. Regard ing her the San Francisco Chronicle says:
 Mabel Stanley, the young American woman, who was recently sentenced to twelve months imprisonment Ut hard labor in an English prison for stealing jewelry, wss well known On this coast.
 She was formally Mrs. James Jones of Yuma, A. T., but left there, deserting her husband in 1881, and came to this city. She Is handsome woman, and in a short time became great favOrite in variety theater circles. Her sister Nellie Waugh was here, and the two con- nected themselves with the old Adelphi Variety theater, then under Ned Buck ley's management. The girls Weie not considered good performers, and ID time Mabel sought new pastures in the east. Nellie is still here, and is doing a turn Tn a Market street variety house.
 In New York Mabel became the rage in the tenderloin district and found wealthy friends by the score. Her act ing was improved and ia 1885 she went on the road with the Bright Lights" company. She stsid with the company about 8 year and then suddenly disap- peared. With her also disappeared Billy Mclean, @ we'll known New York sport.
 About year ago she returned to San Francesca with the J. P, Howe Speciality Company, which filled an engagement at Stockwell's. Upon that occasion she was known as Mabel Millet, and did not hunt up her old scquain tances of the days when she worked the boxes in the old Adelphi. After returning East she achieved more notoriety by bring Ing suit against Joseph M.

Her re- cord was hunted up and the case never cane to trial.

THE EXAMINATION
Of Gibbs-He is Held Without
 Bail.
(Prospector.)

Sheriff Fly and Deputy Caldwell in obedience to the attachment for wit nesses issued yesterday, brought in Is l cOlored women from the Riley ranch, and at 2 p. m. large crowd was present at Justice Loska's court to hear the examination of Merrill Gibbs for the murder of Walter Wells.
 Gibbs was represented by Charles Granville Johnston and District Attor- ney Swain appeared for the prosecu- tion.
 The evidence introduced and the ante morteum statement of deceased went to show that Gibbs had borrowed gun from one of the colored witnesses at the ''ranch" ard proceeded to the room where Wells was, and later shot fired resulted in the latter's death. Other testimony was to the effect that Gibbs stated he was playing and the gun went off; however, defendant did not testify iD his own behalf.
 Defendant was then held to answer before the grand jury without bail and was turned over to the custody of the sheriff.
 The thirteen colored women when ar- rainged to show cause why they had not appeared after being summoned, made a plea that they could not get a convey ance of any kind. They were let of with judicial lecture. Later the wo- men appeared and asked that the coun- ty return them home as they were fin- ancislly stranded. This was denied and more especially SO ss the court had been lenient in letting them off for failure to appear.
 The women attract considerable at tention on the street as the entire num- Der go together in body and looks much like procession.

HEADS OFF Gruesome Details of a Chi
 nese Execution.
SLAYERS OF MISSION ARIES
The Crowd Oheered When the Heads of the Murderers
 Fell Off.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-A cablegram to the World from Foo Chow, China, says the details of Tuesdays execution have just been received. After the mandarin had refused on Friday to execute any men implicated in the missionary massa- ere, the American and British consuls wired to Pskin. On Monday the man. dsrin received the viceroy's order to ex- ecute seven men. At 6 o'clock Tuesday morning Consul Hixon, Lieutenant Ev- ans and Mir. Gregory, the British consul, proceeded to Yamen gate, where tte mandarin sat awaiting them. When the foreigners took their seats the drnms were beaten, 8 salute fired and the crier shouted three times "The court is opeup Then the condemned men were brought speedily from their cells. They knelt before the court and were tumoled, securely bound, into bamboo cages. to which were attached pieces of paper with the sentence written on them. The mandarins then put on their scarlet robes, scarlet hoods and the death pro- cession started for the execution grounds outside of the city between two lines of soldiers. When the procession arrived the condemned men were tumbled out and made to kneel with their backs to the mandarius. Then the five headsme began their bloody work. The first head fell clean cut. When the heads of the seven men were cut off the vast crowd gave great shout. The people claDped their hands and departed.
 The heads were hung in a prominent plscs in the city as a warning.
 The mandarins professed to fear fur ther trouble from the crowd of foreign CTS who went armed with revolyers, but there was no trouble.
 No leaders have been executed as yet. Some leaders with strong backing hope to escape.
 The viceroy IS delaying the execution of others hoping for an undeserved clemency. Punishment following the crime so soon is unusual after foreign troubles. The execution will have a good effect in showing the people that the matter is serious. Bad feeling is spreading through the province because of the delays Tn execution. At Eco Chow the common talk was that the men would escape. The consuls wiring to Pekin for string ent orders to local officials, who do noth- | ing unless forced, resulted m prompt action. The Detroit is still here and one Eng | fish gunboat of 756 tons.

AN IRRIGATION SENSATION.
Closing Scenes of the Congress Not Very Harmonious on Account of
 the Election of New Officers.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 2O-A special to the News from Albuquerque, N. M., says:
 The irrigation congress today complet- cd it's business, there being very little left to be done. The present national lecturer. Judge J. s. Emery of Kansas, was unanimously reelected. The fol- lowing were appointed delegates to the cotton states exposition now in progress at Atlanta: H. F. Heath, Lincoln, Neb. Lute Wilcox, Denver, Col; Colonel George Woodford, Phoenix, Ariz. Chairman of the Executive Committee E. R. Morris of Kansas and Secretary O.. M. He'ntz of California are ex-officio delegates.
 After congratulstory speeches and closing remarks by the president the fourth session of the national irrigation congress adjourned sine die to meet next year ID Phoenix, the day of meeting to be fixed by the national executive com- mittee, acting with local board of ar engagements, to be chosen by the people of Phoenix.
 Something of sensation in connec- tion with the congress has just leaked out, charges being made that the minutes have been falsified. The trouble comes from the local papers having been given for publication a reso- lution of thanks to the retiring chair. man and secretary of the national ex- ecutivs committee Messrs. Smythe and Allies, and expressing regret that neces- sity had compelled them to decline a renominstion. It is claimed that no such resolution was passed, and more- over, that Secretary Allies was very active candidate for reelection.
