But the Lady Who Dropped the Bottle
Said Never a Word.
A large crowd of spectators, the ma
jority of whom were women, were
standing in front of show window on
broadway one day, says New York
exchange, watching the movements of
muscular young man, who was busily
engaged in demonstrating the useful
qualities Of a new exercising apparatus.
While the eyes of the crowd were
fixed on the graceful bendings and
twistings Of the exhibitor, there was q
sharp report, as though something
fragile had fallen upon the sidewalk!
The woman from whose hand the pack
age had fallen, and who was picture
Of respectability, stopped and picked
up the paper, which was dripping wet,
and, casting one dcspairing glance at
it, dropped it quietly in the gutter and
hastened up broadway, as though she
had an important engagement which
demanded her immediate attention.
In the meantime the contents of the
package had been spreading over the
sidewalk, and as the odor of good old
rye insinuated itself into the nostrils OF
the crowd a broad grin spread over the
faces Of everyone except an old tramp
who sat down on the edge of the guttet
and wept bitterly at the sad sight d
such waste of good material.

Politics simIncriIg.

AS the time for the various nominat-
ing conventions draws nigh, more or
less interest is being taken In matters
political. At this writing 1t Is i'm
possible to say who the nominees will
be on any of the tickets In Rio
Blanco county. And 1t is equally i'm
possible to say whether the Democrats
and Republicans will again fuse, or a
new alliance be formed between the
Democrats and Populists. One thing is
certain-the Republicans and Popullsts,
like oil and water, wiltno amalgamate,
but will oppose one another tootll-and-
toe-nail, regardless of what the Demo
Gratis decide upon. 1t is generally CON
ceded that each of the three parties
have good material within their respec-
tive ranks, but it does not follow that
the nominations are always rendered 10
the best men, or that they can be Ia
ducrd IN aooaet. s,4,ssa r-sgi.
rvl ire various county offices there
are number in the field who FRANKLY
come out and say they want the nom!n-
alton for certain office, while others
are very timid. The writer has seen
states of the different compilations. but
rs they arc so easily broken, as well rs
being apt to contain few unauthorized
names, it is perhaps best that the dele
gates seek their own candidates.
That the approaching election will
not be a tame affair goes without the
saying, and the campaign begins with
to days nominations.

Incceptcd an invitation the other day

says New York correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer. We went to
Twenty-ninth street and entered

other houses in town that are used as
residences by the well to do. The

hardly turned thirty years. He was en-
gagged. The lady was wealthy, well
connected and moved in the same social

yond reproach.

him to plainly understand that Re &.

ten her love letter, SO she couldn't re-
turn any burning literature-and told
him to apply elsewhere for wife. Con-
siderably stunned, he could only cx-
claim: Tilted! jilted.' He bought this
house at first simply with the idea of
living in it, but one day he CHANGED
across friend who had had similar
experience with the fair sex, and, after
comparing notes, they decided to live
together to pursue the same line Of
campaign in society; that is, to
make themselves as interesting as
possible to women, but never on any
provocation to marry. Before long
they heard of another acquaintance
whose engagement had been broken by
the lady, and they took him in. So,
little by little, the affair has grown to

"Jiltcd club, exactly. Every member
must have been Tilted, and every mem
ber is supposed to enter society freely
and play for hcarts-to take them, but
never to surrender his own. In the
event of his getting entangled and en-
tering upon new engagement his
membership lapses at once"

For over forty years family OF gyp-

At the present time one of them claims
to be the head of the gypsies in this
country, says bridgeport correspon-
dent of the New York Sun. He is
Prince William and lives with his fam
lily near East Hartford. The East Hart
ford branch is the main branch Of the
family. AL the male members of the
family are born horse traders and are
known all over New England as upright
and honest business men. Attached to
their residence at East Hartford are
stables which in winter arc always
filed with choice horses One of the
interesting sights at the barn are the
wagons in which Prince William and
family go off on their annual trips.
These wagons cost from one thousand
to twenty-five hundred dollars each.
There are branches of the family II

The party keep together, travelling by
easy stages, about twenty miles a day
being considered good journey. When

After the evening meal the entire fam

When the Clymer murder case wal
called this morning, G. E. Hendrickson
defendants counsel. objected to trial pro
ceeding in the absence of Judge Garrison
A letter had been received from Justice
Garrison handing the case to the lower
court for trial. Judge Gaskill was there
fore presiding.
Although not doubling or questioning
Judge Gaskill's ability or acumen, Mr.
Hendrickson thought he would be dere-
lict to his client if he did not enter the
objection.
Judge Gaskill replied that he had been
requested by Judge Garrison to try this
case under the provision of law passed
in 1894, allowing homicide cases to be
heard in the Oyer and Terminer.
Prosecutor Budd said that he had grave
doubts of the legality of proceeding with
out Supreme Court judge. This matter
was done without the Prosecutors sane
ton or knowledge, and he would not de-
sire TO proceed in such an important
case without having consulted Judge Gar
rlson.
Under the rule of the court, each county
in the circuit is entitled to two weeks
presence of the Supreme Court Judge.
Thus far Judge Garrison has given only
two days to this court, and now proposes
to push this case on the lower court by
the provisions of an act of doubtful mean
ing.
This, the Prosecutor said. is not fair to
the taxpayers, the state or the lower
court.
Judge GaskilI said the position the
court is placed in is not of it's own max
ing, and it had not desired the RESPONSE
bility. He adjourned court until to-mor-
row morning so that he could consult
with Judge Garrison.

The Strike Settled.

The employees at the Columbian Iron
w orks, Hanesport. went to work yester-
day, having failed in their efforts to force
John D. johnson to accede to their de-
mands.
The men wanted Mr.. johnson to return
to them the 10 per cent. taken from their
wages several weeks ago, and they also
wanted him to recognize the union to
which they belonged. The latter request
he refused, but be told them that if busl-
ness warranted it, and he thought the
outlook favorable to that end, he would
restore the amount on June 9th.
This did not satisfy the strikers and
they demanded an immediate restoration
of the 10 per cent. Mr.. johnson finally
acceded to this, and agreed to post no

went to work, but before Mr.. Johnson
could do his part, they quit again.

quest. On the contrary he gave ear tc
the claims of about dozen in the church
