stow his friendship upon her. Carstone
had sought long for a bright, intellec-
tual maiden Of romantic temperament
and when he met May his search was at
an end. She was tender and ardent and
entered into his work with enthusiasm.
She was elated at the honor youchsafed
her, and for a time the friendship ran
on in the smUothest Of grooves.

And yet he wrote the most delightful

had sounded every note on loves Tyre.

TOO MUCH PRAYER FOR HIM.
William Erbst Objected and They
Thought Him insane

William Erbst, of HOS Dawson street,
doesn't profess to have any religion,
while his wife and daughters are so
abundantly supplied with the article
that they hold daily prayer meetings
within the home circles, greatly to the
annoyance of Mr.. Erbst So distracting
became these religious demonstrations
to Mr.. ErbSt that he threatened to do
violence to himself, if not to others.
In consequence of these threats Mr.
ErbSt found himself in the probate
court yesterday afternoon by virtue Of
information of insanity filed by MIS-
Erbst. Court Commissioner Gallick,
who is officiating in the absence of
Judge Willrich, was assisted by Drs.
Sweeney and Ohage.
Mr.. Erbst, who is a teamster by oc-
cupation, when questioned by the doc
tors, said in effect that his wife and
daughters, who had formerly belonged
to the German Baptist church, had
gone over to the English Methodist
denomination. Continuing, Mr.. Erbst
told how the female members of his
family held frequent prayer meetings
at home, in which exercises of devotion
they were led by a gentleman named
Partridge, who was obnoxious to Mr..
Erbst.
Mr. Partridge was then questioned.
Mr.. Partridge, middle-aged gentle
eyes, was sure that Mr.. Erbst was in
sane. What had he ever seen Mr..
Erbst do or heard him say that indi-
Gated insanity? Why, he had heard
him say he wouldn't support his fam
lily any longer.
But that alone is not evidence of
insanity, is it?'' inquired DR.. Sweeney.
Mr.. Partridge thought it was Mr..
Partridge had also heard Mr.. Erbst
declare that he would rather live in
Saltwater prison than at home, and
that he had a mind to kill himself.
What is your business, Mr.. Par
tridge?" inquired DR.. Ohage.
Il am in the patent medicine bust
ness" was the reply. Mr.. Parsons ad-
mitted that he participated in the
prayer meetings held at the Erbst
home He had always been a good
kind friend tC Mr.. Erbst and hoped
Mr. Erbst reciprocated those feelings.
Three minutes later the physicians
and Capt. Gallick retired to the inner
room, and shortly thereafter Capt. Gal.
lick came out and announced that the
case was dismissed. While the de-
liberation was going on inside, Mr..
Erbst walked to and fro across the
court room. Happening to pass near
to Mr.. Partridge, that religiously dis
posed gentleman put out his hand to
Mr.. Erbst as much as to say: Come,
brother, there's no ilI-feeling"
Mr.. Erbst turned away from Par
fridge with an expression of disgust
followed by a Polish imprecation that
seemed to relieve his pent up feelings.
why, what have. 1 done to hurt
your feelings, William" meekly in
quired Partridge, but Mr.. Erbst there
after ignored him.
Mr.. Erbst, before quitting the court
room, promised Court Commissioners
Gallick that he would leave the city
for time and not interfere with his
family's devotional exercises.

AWAITS CHILDS' ANSWER.
States Acceptance of the New Ten
nessee bonds.

State Treasurer Koerner yesterday
submitted to the attorney general for
inspection the new form of registered
bond which the legislature of Tennes-
see recently authorized to be submit
ted for the coupon bonds held by the
Minnesota state school fund. 1t will
be remembered that Tams Bixby, then
Gov. Coughs private secretary, made
a trip to Nashville during that session
to urge the passage of the bill. If the
attorney general pronounces the new
bond properly drawn, the coupon bonds
held by Minnesota will be changed for
the registered bonds, which is in ac-
cordance with a general plan of the
state investment commission to have
all it's bonds of the registered variety
A year ago the state purchased for
the permanent school fund United
States per cent bonds to the
amount of $500, 900, at s11S. On the re-
cent trip they were sold for SIPS, or
seven cents more than was paid for
them, net profit to the state of $21 900.
The entire amount received for the
government bonds was at once rein
vested in Massachusetts bonds draw
ing 31a per cent. These bonds,
which have forty years to run,
were purchased at $1.13 and were con-
sidered very good purchase, as

President P. ]. Giesen, of the Mozart
club, last night said to a reporter for
the G l o b that a slight change had
been made as to the route OF the car
riage drive about the city IN honor of
the New York Arioneten. The original
programme, as announced in Mondays
G o b e, sent the party from Como
park to Hamm's brewery and then to
the Indian mounds, but this part of
the programme has been changed, and
instead the party will go direct to the
Indian mounds from Como and thence
to Hamm's brewery, where lunch and
refreshments will be served. Mr..
Hamm has had the brewery specially
decorated for this occasion, and the
party will no doubt receive a royal re-
ception.

COPPER RIVER COUNTRY TO BOOM.
From Unofficial News Such IL Result
Is Expected by the Postal
Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The first
letter mail to be dispatched from this
country to the Klondike region under
the new arrangement with Canada,
effected by establishing an internation-
al exchange between Dyea, Alaska, and
Dawson City, will be forwarded from
Seattle by steamer leaving there Sept.
IL From that time forward letter mail
will go over the new service regularly
once a month The last opportunity to
send newspapers and reading material
generally into the gold region until
next spring, will be afforded by the
paper mail the last of the season,
which will be forwarded by steamer
leaving San Francisco Sept. 5. Unotfi-
cial advices have reached the postoffice
department that the British govern
ment is contemplating the establish
ment of another postal route into the
Klondike region from the coast to be
almost wholly within British territory.
The entrance from the coast is to be
effected according to the new plan, by
means of the Stikine river, which has
it's mouth on the United States side of
the new line. but passage through
which is free to all. The scheme, as
it is being projected, is for the British
mail carrying vessels to go in near
Prince of Wales island, up the Stikine
river. thence from near it's head, above
Fort Wrangell, cross overland about l5O
miles to Teslin Cor Aklene) lake, up
the Hoodalinqua and Lewis rivers to
the boom" district,
Acting Postmaster General Shallen-
berger and his assistants were busily
engaged today going over the details
of the new mail route, and perfecting
the arrangements for the scheme on
the part of the United States. Reports
have reached here that persons &C
ouainted with the Alaskan gold situa-
ton, generally believe that the Copper
river valley will be the scene of great
activity very soon. This news comes
in a personal way from postal authori-
ties who have had an opportunity to
inquire into the matter. 1t is based
not only on the reported productiveness
of the valley but largely on the pre-
scriptive measures the Canadian gov
eminent is reported to be about to eS-
tablish taking every alternate claim
and demanding 20 per cent of the other
profits 1t is felt, according to these
reports that the establishment of this
policy would drive the prospectors
across the line into our territory and SO
develop the fields within the domain OF
of the United States.

MILLERs WIN AND LOSE.
Shut-Out in the Second Game-TrOu'
BILE on the Diamond.

Special to the Globe
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 81
1t was a horse apiece in the double
header today, the MillerS Snatch1ng
well-earned victory from the Bobs In
the first game by punching hits in the
eighth. Pappalau's work on the slab
was superb and had good support, with
the exception of the fifth, when fumbles
by Mckinney and Griffin resulted IN
two runs for the visitors, which prac-
ticalIy lost the game for the home
team. Only three scattering hits had
been made off Papp up to the eighth,
when singles by Letcher, Parrot, ROat
and Kuehne, with the aid of two fly
outs, gave three runs, the Bobs being
banked in their half of the ninth.
Hutchinson kept hits well scattered
except in the fifth and SIXTH when two
singles and a tWO-bagger in each inn
ing resulted in three earned runs. Two
singles and a sacrifice gave one in the
seventh. Doggy Miller was caught
caused a Wrangle over the decision OF
Umpire Cushman, and some rowdyism
was displayed. Hermann, who was Oh
the bench mouthed the umpire to such
an extent that he was finally ordered
off the grounds Not complying at
once, four police officers started for
him, while Cushman held the watch
on the Millers to play. Capt. Miller
finally succumbed to the inevitable
and ordered Hermann to go, under a
threat of a fine, and Hermann went.
Darkness put an end to the second
game at the end of the eighth though
the Bobs played their half of the ninth,
securing three more runs on hits.

they will net the state about per
cent to ~ per cent on government
bonds at present quotations. This adj
ditional interest is in addition to the
$21 900 made in cash by the exchange.
The Massachusetts bonds have twelve
years longer to run than the govern
ment bonds and it is therefore thought
that the new Massachusetts bonds will
produce between $4,000 and 100000
more to the permanent school fund
than if the investment had remained
in the government bonds. Another
point made by Mr.. Dunn is that the
Massachusetts bonds are payable in
gold, while the government bonds were
payable in coin, which is perhaps no
small advantage Mr. Dunn and Mr..
Koerner went personally to Boston and
had the new bonds changed to register

WORCESTER, Mass, Aug 31.-In the Ma
tional circuit bicycle races today Eddie Bald
won the mile professional open, getting first
in his trial heat from John S. Johnson and
Tom Butler, and winning the final, but only
after hard fight in the stretch with Maj
Taylor, who finished second. The three
mile lap race was something Of a novelty
to the circuit chasers, but it brought out a
big field of fast men, and furnished some
great finishes. Mertens and Mat Butler did
most of the work in the first heat, and got
first and second places easily with half a
dozen riders, including John, S; Johnson, tied
for third place. In the second Maj. Taylor was
prominent until collision in the last lap
when he was thrown and badly scratched.
He had at the time won sufficient points to
qualify, but made no attempt to ride in the
final. The race was between Butler, who
had got a place in the second rial heat.
and John S. Johnson who, in the first mile
out, got lead of fully thirty yards over The
other place winners. Frank Butler managed
to win first with a scart margin of Two
