HE TALKS OF LOVE.
Oscar Wilde Defines HI. Theory OF
the Tender Sentiment.

the Tender Sentiment.
Lor don, May 2-rhe Old Bailey was
less crowded to-day when the court
opened for what was expected to be
the last day of the trial Of Oscar
Wilde and Alfred Taylor.
Wilde was placed upon :he staLd,
and absolutely denied that there was
a word of truth in the charges If in
decency brought against him. He
answered the questions uf Sir Ed
ward Clarke in subduel torres. 1t
was evident that he had been coached
fer the occasion. He seemed to Lave
lost all the airy swagger which so
disgusted all who witnessed 1t during
the former trial.
G. Il. Gill, on behalf Of the prosecu-
ton, began his cross-exanlination on
the same lines as that of Edward
Carson, .. c., who defended the
marquis of Queensberry against the
charge of libel. He quoted from the
sonnet to Lord Alfred Douglass in
which occurred the line:
II am that love, but dare not speak
its name."
Mr.. Gill asked what was the nature
Of the love represented in that poem
Mr.. Wilde, with marked deliberation
and emphasis, answered.:
1T is a love not understood in this
century. 1t is the love of David for
Jonathan-a deep, spiritual affection,
as pure as it is perfect. 1t is some
thing this age does not understand.
1t mocks at it and sometimes puts enc
into the p;llory."
AS Wilde finished his answer there
We're loud cheers from the gallery,
which called forth a rcbuke from the
judge, who threatened to eject those
who took part in the demonstration.
After a short examination, during
which time Wilde denied everything,
Charles Parker was examined and

Jan estown. N. D., May g. - The
North Dakota wolf bounty swindlcrs,
w. H. Leonard, the Grand Forks ho-
tel man, H. E. Friese and Il. H.
Briggs, have all come to grief. The
trio have been arrested and are now
held to answer to the charge of per-
jury and swindling. Briggs, when
arrested, had in his possession thirty
nine wolf scalps. Nearly every coun-
ty in the western part of the state
has been swindled out of bounty
money by these men. For some weeks
past Sheriff Eddy, of this county, and
Sheriff Taylor of Burleigh county
have been quietly working up a chain
of evidence to warrant the arrest Of
the man Leonard for completely in
the murder of the Olson family at
Sterling, in this state. in January last.
Suspicion has pointed strongly to this
trio Of wolf bounty swindlers, and
they will now be held to answer for
the more serious charge of murder.
1t will be remembered that it was
known at the time of the murder o.
son had $500 cash in his home. He
was the agent and grain buyer at
Sterling. His family consisted of six
persons, all of whom were murdered,
the house set on fire. and all the
bodies burned beyond recognition.
The officers have been untiring in
their efforts to bring the perpetrators
OF this double tragedy to Justice.

next ambition was to secure a title,
which she did in 1883 by marrying
the duke of Marlborough, of Blenheim
Palace. one of the finest places of

These were made ut the expense of
