accompanied by his wife and child, in
tending to visit friends here for a few
weeks. He was well and favorably
known in Deer Lodge, having held a
responsible position with Kleinschmidt

From the New York Tribune.
The man got on the cable car at Cham
bers street and Broadway, bound up town.
1t was a rainy night and he carried an
umbrella and had his trousers turned up.
He took a seat well forward. When the
conductor came up for his fare the man
handed him a coin. AS he did so 1t dis
appeared. No one heard ii drop and
neither knew what had become of 1t. The
conductor looked for IL on the floor Then
he made every one in that part of the
car move so that he could raise the wood
en- grating. This naturally put all in a
bad humor, but the money was not to
be found.
The conductor went out on the back
platform as if content to consider the af-
fair a closed incident. No one noticed
whether he rang up the fare or not. Soon
the passenger, who had begun to fidget,
beckoned to the conductor.
81 want my change" he said. 1T gave
you a dime
II didn't get your money" was the an
swer. II want your fare"
You did get it. L handed you a dime
and you dropped 1t. Give me my nickel
or I'll make trouble for you"
The conductor had a temper of his own
and was now ready to meet the angry
pdSSSh6cI way. II YOU uOu pay
your fare I'll put you off,"
You'll have some fun doing that, I'll
go bail. You'd better give me my change"
The conductor caught hold of the man
as If to put him off. but was roughly
shaken away. The occupants of the car
became deeply interested and the women
who were near the thick of the battle
moved away.
"Aw. they won't scrap" said a young
East Slider to his companion. They amt
got il in EN-"
Perhaps the dime dropped into your
umbrella" ventured a man who was car
rying a violin case.
That's So" said the passenger who
was about to be elected. He seemed
heartily glad to get out of the affair with
honor and without violence Admitting
glances were cast at the man with the
violin case. and his cleverness was audi
bly, commented on. The umbrella was
partly opened and several persons peered
into IT to see the dime But they didn't
see it and the owner of the umbrella felt
for the coin in vain.
The conductor had also seemed pleased
at the prospective ending of the trouble,
but now he felt called on to renew his
efforts to put Off the man who hadn't
paid his fare
The money touched your hand, didn't
it?' demanded the passenger.
Yes, but l didn't have it,"
IF IL touched you hand 1t was in your
custody. That's good law. isn't it?' in
quired the man. looking at the other pas
sengers. The involuntary jury was disa-

II amt got the money and that's all
there Is to It," said the conductor in surly
tones. Come, you'll have to get off,"
Maybe the money dropped into the
fold of your trousers Leg" suggested a
passenger just at this moment, pointing
to the mans turned-up trousers. A search
quickly revealed the dime, it was handed

of the new woman" Madame Blanc
confesses that their Independence and
democratic ideas are breaking up CEN
turtles of traditional etiquette of French
society and even influencing French
national laws and customs. Divorce
has now been instituted in France, and
the laws of succession have to some
extent been modified. French people
have always been thought sentimental,
but Madame Blanc says they are not
that a great part of the sentiment at
trfbuted to Partisan society has been
cultivated from us. 1t appears that
filtration was unknown in Paris until
ony and that it inspires in Frenchmen
and Frenchwomen a horror equal to
that with which certain Puritans Sc
verely regard sin. She emphasizes very
strongly the independence of the Amer
lean young woman, and thinks that
while girls in France are brought up a
little too exclusively with q view to
please their future husbands, American
girls are perhaps too much concerned
with the purpose Of personal develop
ment, and both systems have their in
conveniences. She feels that the laws
of progress, the better recognized rights
of women, and the spread of democratic
ideas throughout the world, all herald
the establishment of a type of family
life similar to that of our own; and
with certain reservations which she
mentions in her article, Nine. Blanc de-
clares that she shall be delighted to see
French family life of to-day become
more and more Americanized. Her ar
ticle is well worth the serious considera-
ton of every American woman.

IT WAS A CLOSE CALL
Thomas Williams Almost Killed BY a
Constable Yesterday.
HE is NOW AT THE HOSPITAL
He Would Not Go to jail With Con-
stable Burke, So the Off,
Ger Took a Shot
at Him.

Constable George E. Burke shot Thorn
as Williams last evening about O'Clock
under the following circumstances: At
the corner Of East Park avenue and Birch
street at the above hour a crowd of boys
were snowballing everybody who came
along. 1t is said that there is crowd OF
tough youngsters in that neighborhood
who indulge in that sport on every occa-
sion possible. Yesterday they were firing
hard snowballs in their usual promiscu-
Gus manner at some passers-by and
among their victims was Mr.. Williams
and three friends, ID. S. Wallbridge, Sid
Stacy and AL Butler. Mr.. Williams, after
receiving a ball of solid ice in the neck,
ran after the thrower, caught him and
was giving him a good kicking, when Of
ficer Burke stepped out into the street
and said: I'm an officer; come along
with me to the jail"
"Oh, no." responded Mr.. Williams, as
he pushed the constable aside Williams
then darted through the crowd and into
Steve Horvaths saloon, and sought Sc
clusion in an clubhouse. The officer was sot
on the trail of his prisoner, who, seeing he
was coralled. bolted out and fairly flew
south on Birch street to the alley be-
tween Park and Third streets Williams
ran west through the alley to Chestnut,
with the officer in pursuit when a bullet
from Burke's revolver brought him down.
Williams was taken to st. Anne's hos
pital and Dr. St Jean soon located, and
after a little work, extracted the bullet.
1t struck Williams between the fifth and
sixth ribs at the point of the scapula, or
shoulder blade, and was found under the
left armpit. 1t was a close call and
miracle that the young man was not kill
ed. The victim of the officers revolver
was quite cheerful after DR.. st. Jean ex-
tracted the bullet and greeted his many
friends who called at the hospital pleas
antly. and said he would be out on the
streets before long. as he was only
scratched"
Officer Burke, when seen by a Standard
reporter. did not care to give his side of the
case, as his attorney, Chris. Walsh, for
bid him talking to the reporter. The con-
stable said, however that Williams and
his three friends attacked him and he
claims he was justified i'm shooting. No
complaint was lodged against officer
Burke, last evening. though ID. s. Wall
bridge was arrested and placed in jail for
resisting an officer.
Mark Williams, the father of the young
man who was shot. is employed at the
lower works.

A French Woman on American Family
Life. l.

America" by TIL. Benton Mime.
Blanc), the well known French novelist
and critic whose brilliant essays in the
Revue des Deux Mondes last year on
The Condition of Women in the Unit
ed States" aroused such widespread in
terest in France and England. We are
much indebted to Nine. Blanc for her
earnest efforts to familiarize her coun-
trymen with American social and lit
erary conditions. In her Forum article
Nine. Blanc draws some very striking
and instructive comparisons between
French and American family life. and
her remarks betray an intimate ac-
quaintance with our customs and char
acteristics. The American family, she
thinks, is less homogeneous, less united
in the same interests, less blindly sub
missive TO the authority of a head,
than the French family. A great part
of our home life. she thinks. is sacri-
feed TO our progressiveness. hence the
license of children and young girls, the
insignificant part played by older peo-
pie. and our lack of ceremony. The
American young man is better edu-
Gated than the European. but less re-
fined and less deferential to the wishes
of others. on entering upon his career
he becomes absorbed in his individual
interests TO the exclusion Of all others.
