A contemporary writes: Lord Wa

me of an incident in trial to which l

The late Sir William Carroll, who had
filed the post of lord IN iyor Of Dublin,
but who was noted as a disciple of Mrs.
Malaprop, sued the lac Mr.. Angelo
Hayes, a Dublin artist Of considerable
eminence, for libeling him by carica'

'Pain?' said tho counsel. Pain of what
kind? Was it mental pain or bodily

The Hancock whist club
Inquest Held.

Mr.. N. F. Leopold. OF Chicago. visited
the copper country last week and has re-
turned home with an option on the
Huron, Isle Royale and Graud Portage
mines. The option on the Isle Roysle is
Tor $25, 900, on the the Huron $40, 900
and on the Portage, the property Of
Peter Ruppe, problematically the same.
The whole represents "A little over $780,
600, a price very cheap and which year
or 80 ago would just about have bought
the last-named property. The Huron
was controlled by Messrs. Goodell. Sea-
ger, Hennes. Pope and Vivian, a com
mittee ofthe creditors. and they gave the
option. The Sheldon Columbian property
Is not included in the deal.
Mr.. Leopold has associated with him

determining whether such an outlay will
be made now. Every business man OF
