Armenia and America.

We did not select this article on
account of the Armenian part, for,
so far as we know, we have never
overdone the business Of helping Ar
nenia here in Napoleon; but for the
good ideas in regard to the W. G. T
u. and the liquor traffic.
My Dear Friend My burden is
the Armenian question and the W.
G. T. U. and l don't know where to
begin. Well, I am just heartbroken
over the Armen!ans, but am heart
broken and more over the Ameri,
cans, aud 1t does seen to me that our
good women everywhere are JUST 60
ing daft over the atrocities of the
Turks, and see less than ever the
denominations that are in their midst.
Taere are thousands of women in our
organization who do not yet realize
that we are organized against the
liquor traffic from start to finish, and
they have only to have their attention
called to some evil that is great and
awful that is not the rum business
and they will set their faces toward
it and see nothing else in spite OF the
fact that their next door neighbor is
worse off than any Armenia woman
they could hope to help. In one OF
our seaport towns, here in Connect

A young lady of this city had 6
beau who was in the habit of calling
at her home six nights in the week
and staying SO late that he became q
nuisance. The other night as the
clock struck ii she gave him a pea-
Gil and paper and told him to make
eleven ciphers IN straight line and
draw perpendicular line down from
the right side of the first and a line
up from the right side of the fourth,
down on the right side of the fifth,
up from the right side of the seventh

SCANDAL At BRYAN.
A WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
ARRESTED.
Charged With Being too Many
Times Married and Other
Wrong Doing.

Bryan is to-day revelIing in the de-
lights of a sensation and society scan
dal of vast proportions.
Some time ago Emery LaTanner
resigned as cashier OF the Farmer 8
bank and went to Cleveland where he
had secured a clerkshlp in another
bank.
Yesterday Mr.. LaTanner was
brought back to Bryan by officers
who had arrested him on charge of
being short in his accounts with the
bank.
Then developed series o: sensa-
tions. First was that LaTanner was
arrested in Toronto, Canada, where
he was in company with young wo-
man whom it is said he had recently
married in Cleveland. He was on
his wedding trip. Thus LaTanner
was put down as bigamist until he
should prove that he had secured a
divorce from his first wife.

vorce IN Dakota las. fall. 1t is re-

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to
give away a bottle of their Digestive
Cordial to any one who might call at
their New York Office, there was a
great many people thought they were
crazy. .
Subsequent events proved it to
have been a very clever advertising
transaction, for although they gave
away thousands of bottles, it was in
the profitable; nearly every one that
took a free bottle came back for more
and paid for it with pleasure, saying
they had derived better results from
its use than from any other medicine
they had ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive
Cordial, and what is better than all,
it relieves at once.

RESCINDED THEIR
HAS4Y ACTION
Hastings Law College Di-
rectors Change Their
Minds.
Students Objected to Taking a
Full Seven Years
Course.
Stanford Gains Many Pupils of Black
stone Through a Resolu-
tion.

Quie tIy and without any undue pub
licity the board of directors of the Hast
ings College of Law has rescinded reso-
luton, passed some time ago, which has
caused q large num- ber of law students
who had intended to com plete heir course
at the State University to change their
plans and prepare to enter Stanford.
Hastings College of Law was founded
several wears ago by Judge S. G. Hastings,
a wealthy attorney, who intended that it
should be a school for rich or poor, with
equal privileges for all. 1t was taken into
the Affiliated Colleges, of which the State
University is composed, and soon became
one of the most popular institutions in
the State.
Then for some reason tie board of di-
rectors which controls it's policy decreed,
by resolution, that students to be eligible
to enter must take the four years. course
at the University of California before be-
ginning the three years law course, max
ing seven years study necessary.
This caused CONSERVATION among the
hundreds of prospective attorneys who
were examining legal lore into their brains
in anticipation of branching out in the
practice VI idWs CuCu was particularly
the case in Southern California, and it led
20 the founding by Los Angeles attorneys
and students of the Los Angeles College
of Law, with Judge Erskine NJ. Ross of
the District Court OF California as its head.
In this City students after looking over
the proposition, decided that the four
year law course at Stanford would be as
advantageous as seven years between the
university and the Hastings College, and
one entire class of ten decided to attend
the Palo Alto institution.
So heavy has been the enrolment of
students in thi. particular branch at Stan
ford that it has been found necessary to
engage an extra corps OF instructors to
care for the rush.
These facts came to the observation of
the directors OF the Hastings institution
and after some deliberation 1t was decided
to suspend for two years the requirement
of four-year course at the State Uni
versity.
A resolution to that effect was passed a
few days ago.

THE MYSTERY
IS DEEPENING
" Three-Fingered Jack" Re-
turned to the Irmgard
Last Monday.
No Trace of Mate Johnson Can
Be Found, So the Sailor
Was Arrested.
he Stoutly Protests His Innocence and
Says He Does Not Know What
Became of the Mate.

The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of First Mate August Johnson and
'Three- fingered jack" a sailor, both OF
the barkentine Irmgard, has been partly
explained. Monday night last the sailor,
whose real name is Charles A. Benjamin,
rode alongside the vessel in the yawl and
after making her fast went to his bunk in
the forecastle and slept until morning.
He was arrested yesterday by Sergeant
Bunner and Officer McGlvnn and locked
up in the Harbor Police station pending
an investigation.
Sunday evening last mum Der of men
from the Irmgard were drinking in the
Castle saloon, which is just opposite the
Folsom street steps. Mate Johnson quar-
relied with the vessels watchman and
when the latter got impairment Johnson
slapped him in the face. Between $3.50
and 8 P. NJ. Johnson and Benjamin got
into the ship yawl and started for the
Irmgard. witnesses state that the
sailor was rowing and the mate was sit
ting in the stern. About 8 P. NJ. the cox
swain on the monitor Comanche heard
cries for help and then all was still. Moth
ing was heard from the missing men un-
til Benjamin returned to the Irmgard
alone last Monday night.
"My name is Charles a. Benjamin, "
said the prisoner in answer to question,
and they call me 'Three-fiEgered Jack be-
cause | had finger cut off several years
ago. What has become of the mate I'm
blessed if I know. We left the Folsom
street float about 8 80 P. NJ, and we were
both pretty drunk. l was pulling and the
mate sat IN the stern. When we got out
Of the slip and into the rough water l
caught a crab and it made the male mad.
