From the New York World.
Countesses have been seen begging
on the public streets, and even an En-
gllsh peeress, the marchioness of Dom
egal has been arrested by the London
police for mendicancy and vagrancy.
But France enjoys the distinction of
having produced the first duchess to be
arrested ON "a charge of begging. She Is
the duchess of AGbufera, whose hus-
band is a grandson OF Napoleon's field
marshal, Suchet, and herself a grand
daughter of that duke of Cambaceras
who, after acting as Bonaparte's coll
league in the directorate and the con-
sulaite was afterward made arch chan
ceilor OF the empire. She had been
specializing i'm South African mining
stocks, and when the boom collapsed
the other day she found herself with
such heavy losses to face that ruin
stared her in the face. She became
temporarily insane and, convinced that
she had reduced herself and her family
to absolute beggary, she started out
upon the streets to ask aims. She Is

HOW HE WON HIS DESK.
Stroke of Genius That Gave a Reading
Clerk Ills Position.


From the New York Sun.
One of the interesting events at the
opening session of a new congress Is
the selection of the reading clerk OF
the house. The reading clerk is ap-
pointed by the clerk of the house, but
candidates for the place must take
part in a competitive speaking con-
test" before the house. John A. Reeve.
who was reading clerk during Harri-
sons administration, was a politician
from Carlo, ILL.,, and one of the best
known characters in Washington at
the time. Reeve tells this story:
II didn't suppose / had any show

test" said he, flor most of the candi-
dates were college men, and some of
them were elocutionists, while the only
elocution had ever practiced was call

But you ought to have heard those
elocutionists, the way they rolled their
RS and Kissed their SIS and said 'ah'
and IL was a caution, Some of them
didn't talk like human beings, and
others had voices so rich and melo-
dious you couldn't hear them 40 feet

to make myself heard If 1 did Moth

rooms of the Arcade restaurant, ana
as a result, Mrs. Carten is in dan
gerous condition tonight at her home
in the Lucey block. Mrs. Carten en-
tered the restaurant soon after
O'Clock this afternoon and passed
through TO a private room. There was
nothing strange noticed in her appear
ance at the time, and for some time
afterward. When she had been in the
room for half am hour or so the cook
called attention to peculiar SOUNDS In
the room and later on opening the
door, found the woman vomiting Vio-
lently. She was given proper care ana
taken to her home as soon as possible.
Since then she has been delirious ana
only with great difficulty has she been
controlled.
The cause of the affair is said to be
domestic unhappiness. and she has told
friends that she would take poison
unless there was an improvement in
her home affairs. She is woman
highly spoken of by those who know
her and the affair has called forth
many expressions of regret from those
who are familiar with the particulars
of the case.
At 8 O'Clock tonight Mrs. Carten Is
said TO be out of danger. Her friends
do not care to discuss the matter and
some of them say that she took no

A SUPERIOR HOLD-UP.
Hut the wouid-Bes Get Nothing but an
Order to Fly.

Missoula, Jan. THE towns that lie
in the Iron Mountain district are fur
nishing their full share of sensational
news this winter. The town of Pardee
has been almost entirely wiped out by
fire and speedily rebuilt; Superior citi-
zens douched a woman of easy virtue
in the chill waters of the Missoula riv-
err; the same citizens captured and
chained deputy sheriff; a party of
Missoula hunters fired IL shots at one
deer and missed him. And now comes
a story of an attempted robbery of a
young woman by two highwaymen.
Louise Martell is the girls name and
the holdup occurred while she was
driving home in a cutter from Supe-
rior. The two would-be robbers threat
ened TO kill her IL she screamed, but
she struggled very pluckily and made
an outcry that brought aid. The road
agents fed and the young woman lost
nothing. She continued her journey
fearlessly.

here's Lots .te
in That Name. rTyf

Missoula, Jan. lit seems that there
is considerable difference of opinion
among the residents of Horse Plains as
to the propriety of changing the name
of that thriving town to Plains. One
prominent citizen of the town said to a
Standard reporter the other day: 1T
will never be done. The old name has
belonged to the town for years and we
do not propose to change 1t now. Ev-
erybody knows Horse Plains and the
name has always been good enough
heretofore and 1 think that Vt is good
enough now. The name of the railroad
station is Horse Plains and / think
that you will see IL remain so. Any
way, don't you get to calling 1t Plains
until you see the change made"
Another gentleman who has spent
many years in this county and who is
familiar with all of it's towns. said this
morning: II should regret very much
seeing the name changed. There is
something distinctive and original
about the name Horse Plains. 1t al
ways seemed very good name to me.
Plains is too common. 1t means moth

trary, signifies more. 1t means a sort
of horse heaven, which is just what
the valley is-a rich. fertile meadow of
vast extent. 1t would be too bad to
lose the name"
The original name applied to the vale
ley by the Hudson Bay company's
agents, was Wild Horse Plains. 1t
was well enough to change that, but
there is considerable opposition to the
recently proposed change. The post

Missoula, Jan. THE horsemen are
not having things all to themselves in
the discussion of sport for the coming
season. The baseball fans are taking
a whirl at 1t themselves and IL their
plans are successful Missoula will see
some hot sport on the diamond this
year. Lumber and land have already
been donated for permanent grounds
across the river, and, as soon as the
season opens, a first-class diamond
will be laid out. Correspondence is
now being carried ON with some of the
best players in the Northwest and II
Is believed that Missoula will put into
the field this year the best team that
has ever played under Missoula colors.
From Hamilton comes the report
that the Bitter Rooters also are or
