HIS WIFES MOTHER
She Succeeds in Thoroughly Amusing
Everybody in Court.
JOHN ANGovE's TROUBLES
He says the Old Lady Talks Too
Much-The Scenes and Acts
Before the Judge We're
Rich Indeed.

Judge Almon's court was enlivened fol
an hour or so last evening by the tria
| OF John Angove Of North Montana street
who was charged by his wife with assault
In the third degree. Angove's mother-in.
law. who is OF the type that the funny
men OF the country write paragraphs and
stories about. was the real complainant
In the case, and she made things hum
around the court room while the case
was In progress. She did not get a
chance to testify herself. but while her
daughter was on the stand she prompted
her to such an extent that the court had
10 threaten to fine her for contempt of
court before she would quit. Her out
bursts gave Angove an opportunity to get
In some sarcastic replies, and their talk
ing across the board was so entertaining
and amusing that even the judge seemed
TO regret the necessity OF calling them to
order so that the dignity of the court
might be maintained
Il have nothing to say against she, :"
remarked Angove. referring to his wife,
but the old lady talks too much. wo-
men has too many rights in this bloody
country, anyway: they'll swear a mans
life away for Is cents" Mrs. Angove
swore that her husband had hit her In
the face and on the back of the head and
displayed a black eye and a bump back
OF her ear in support of her testimony
All of the other witnesses. however, both
for the prosecution and defense, testified
that II was Mrs Angove who committed
the assault. and that after she had hit
MIN In the face several times he showed
her away from him and that ended Il.
After several witnesses had testified to
this state of facts Deputy County Attor-
ney Booth. who was conducting the pros
ecution. asked that Angove be dismissed
and the court promtly made an order TO
that effect. 1t was then that the defend
ants mother-in-law turned the walls of
her wrath upside down and scattered
their contents In all directions. She de-
voted her attention particularly to the
laws OF Montana, and in the course of an
impassioned diatribe she gave the new
codes a roasting compared with which
the unfavorable press notices which the
laws OF the last legislature have received
were praises and fiattery. Her flow of
language would have been the envy of
many rising young lawyers. and there is
no telling when she would have con-
cluded had not the judge. in sheer self
protection and consideration for Mr.
Booths lascerated feelings, been COM
PEELED to order her from the court room.
She obeyed the order with great reluc-
lance and gave the new codes a parting
shot as she closed the court room door
from the outside.

RAILROAD NOTES.
Time Reduced, r. ties Cut and q General
Smash All Around.


The Southern Pacific and the Oregon
Railway Navigation company are
having a merry war out on the coast
and unless they come to some agree
ment very quickly IL is not improbable
that they will soon be paying a pre-
MUM for passengers between Portland
and San Francisco. The rate between
these points has been cut so low that
every passenger is carried at a consid-
eralble loss and the rate between
Butte and San Francisco has been
correspondence reduced.
circular letter was received at the
Northern Pacific office yesterday Civ
ing the details of the cut. The o. r.
a N. company's steamer sails from
Portland every fifth day, commencing
with last Tuesday and 1t has put into
erect first-class rate of s. and a
second-class rate OF $3.50 to San Fran
cisco. These rates include meals and
state rooms and the trip takes three
nights and two DAYS
To meet this cut the Southern Pacific
runs a special steamer train from Port
land on the same day that the steamer
sails and on this train the first-class
limited rate to Frisco is $40, which in
cludes a berth in the Pullman sleeper.
The second-class rate is IS, which in
Guides berth In the tourist sleeper
There Is no prospect of a settlement of
the war and 1t is quite possible that
the rates may fall still lower. The
regular rail rate from Portland to
San Francisco is $50. first-class, and SIG
second-class. exclusive Of Pullman
fare.
The Southern Pacifics cut has re-
duced the all rail route from Butte to
San Francisco to 1880. which includes
a Pullman berth from Portland. On
account of the uncertainty of the coast
rates through tickets cannot be sold
at the rate quoted. but travellers can
take advantage of II lust the same.
Copies of the new time card which
went into effect on the Union Pacific
last Sunday were received yesterday.
Under the new card the time between
Omaha and Butte Is reduced from As
to 80 hours. and a reduction of 10 hours
Is made in the time between Omaha
and San Francisco and Portland. The
overland train now leaves Omaha at
s .. m. and arrives in Butte at ll:20
a. m. This train is now one of the
fastest In the country and goes tear
ing across the continent at a rate that
makes the travellers heart glad. Rail-
road men expected that the time of the
train between Ogden and Iktte would
be heightened out. but IT is still run
ming as fast as ever.

MISS JONES.

You may mention her name. but it never con-
veys
An idea of the exquisite tones
OF her voice or her sparkling, bewildering
ways,
For her name-it is simply ssMiss Jonesi'
It gives you no hint of her golden brown hair,
Of her eyes that outshine precious stones,
OF the fash of her wit, or her highly bred air.
When they merely allude to ''Miss Jones"
It leaves you to guess at the men in her train,
And her suitors' expiring groans,
At the charm that proves fatal to many a
swain
Unexpected in everyday ''Jones."
But when you have seen the effect of her
glance
On raw youth or decrepit old bones,
You'll admit that knight never shattered
lance
For "queen of the lists like ''Ariss
Jones'"
If her name could be changed. what gaia it
would be-
A fact which she cheerfully owns;
But, at present, you see, she's confded to me,
She prefers to stay simply - Miss Jonesi"

The Cosmopolitan Is Housed Handsomely
at Iryington-On-the-H 0dson.
.IRvINeToN-oN- THE HUDSON, Aug. Is
There are many places of historic in
terest in this vicinity. Localities where
heroic deeds were done in Revolutionary
days are scattered about with lavish
hand and often visited by patriotic pill
grims Not far from the station, which
nestles under the hills on the Hudson
eastern bank, is Sunnyside, the home Of
Washington Irving, toward which the
steps of thousands every year are turned
in reverent memory of him who was
among the first to show the world that
an American could write a worthy book
Both Sunnyside and the Revolutionary
localities are we'll worth the attention
Of every patriotic American.
But Irvington now has another at
traction, quite as interesting in its way
as any Of those mentioned, though thor
oughly modern, and, in fact, rather
more than up to date. This is the pub
fishing house from which John Brisben
Walker issues The Cosmopolitan Maya
zine. Mr.. Walker is a member of that
group of new school publishers who be-
lieve it possible to make high class
monthly periodical that may be profit
ably retailed at the astOnishingly low
price of 10 cents a number. He is not
the pioneer III this direction, although
he is doing pioneer publishing work in
other ways. MI. Walker plan is quite
novel in America and has no parallel
anywhere unless one is furnished by the
English publishing house of the poet
Morris. Before Mr.. Walker bought The
Cosmopolitan it's selling price had been
25 cents a number. For several years
after he got it that rate was maintained
During that time the enterprise was
apparently successful, but some two or
three years ago he determined that to
secure a really wide circulation, such as
he craved, the price must be made so
low that no one able to earn living
could rightly consider the magazine too
costly for him to buy.
Accordingly the retail price of The
Cosmopolitan was reduced to 1919 cents
The American News company, through
which all the magazines are circulated,
declined to handle a magazine retailing
at less price than this, or Mr.. Walker
would have adopted the 10 cent rate at
that time In order, however, to shave
the price to york shilling even he
found it necessary TO radically change
the plan of production. Instead of Civ
ing out the printing to one house, the en-
craving to another, the electrotyping to
another and the binding TO another, he
must do all this work for himself. Fur
Their, if he would save the heavy carriage
and certain other expenses to which he
was then subjected he must remove the
publication office from New York city.
He had already bought fine old
country seat upon the banks of the

SOME of the southern states imposing
educational qualifications on voters have
been accused of passing such laws for
the purpose of excluding the colored
population from the exercise of the cleo
tive franchise. What will be said of Cal
ifornia which now has similar law? In
order to register in California the would
be voter must furnish evidence of ability
to read and write the English language.
Californis has few negroes and her Chi
namen are not naturalized. The San
Francisco Chronicle tells of the first re-
fusal Of registration under the new law
in that city. An Italian who was natu-
rallied in New York city in 1876 applied
for registration, when it was discovered
that during the nineteen years he had
been an American citizen he had not
taken the trouble to even learn to read
our language He was refused. From
this distance it looks as though it might
be pretty good law for other states.

Hudson, at lrv1ngtOn, and after mature
consideration he decided to erect hers a
building under whose roof should be
carried on the editorial work and all
the operations Of typesetting, engrav-
ing, printing, binding, etc, necessary
to the production of the magazine. Work
was begun as soon as practicable, and
the building has been pushed with Wig
or ever since. It has now been occupied
for two or three months, and though it's
exterior walls are not yet finished it is
in good shape inside, and the regular
work of the establishment is methodic-
ally going forward The building is
three stories in height, is about 200 feet
long, wide accordingly, is surrounded
by classic colonnades and surmounted
by three rounded domes. The walls are
Of brick, but when completed will be
covered with a coat Of portland cement
ard white sand, which will cause them
to stand out in cleaning contrast to the
green of the trees and the smooth shay
en- lawns in the midst of which it is set.
But notwithstanding the perfect taste
displayed III the design of this building
nothing whatever of the practical has
been sacrificed. In every respect the
printing Office and the bindery are mod
els of their sort. The pTessroom is upon
the ground floor, all of which, save q
corner set apart for the engine room, is
given up to the printing machines. These
are ranged along either side of the real
~ vast apartment and so disposed with
reference to the windows that each press
receives plenty of light and no pressman
is without an abundance of good, fresh
| air. Whenever a large quantity of paper
stock has to be stored it is placed in the
| center of the room, where there is am
| pie space, in such way as never to OBJ
struct the light. The bindery on the
next floor is arranged in exactly similar
fashion, and upon the top floor, where
the library, business Office and editorial
and composing rooms are situated, there
| is a somewhat similar and thoroughly
sensible arrangement.
1t is upon this floor that Mr.. Walker
and his immediate heutenants do their
work Looking out i'll three directions,
| north, west and south, they can see the
broad and majestic Hudson and the pail
sades of the western bank. From Win
| dows looking to the east exquisite beau
ties of woodland and sward, diversified
with handsome villas and coy cottages,
are visible. I. D. MARSHALL.
