eminent to the extent Of 891, 900 francs
for fines, costs, and legal expenses. The
courts recently decided that the unfor-
tunate man, who is completely ruined,
should either pay this sum at once or be
imprisoned for another year. Natural
ly, he chose the latter, and has now the
consolation of knowing that every min
ute spent in the penitentiary is wiping
off, roughly speaking, about three cents
of his debt to the state.

Chicago Tribune: Edward Stanley,

Homework and seeks a respite from
taking care of the chilrren. This en-
tirely commendable desire, however,
has landed Mr.. Stanley in Jail, because
he so far forget his customary meek
ness as to inform Mrs. Stanley that he
would cut her throat. 1t appears that
Mr.. Stanley had no intention Of COM
hitting any act Of violence and referred
to Mrs. Stanley's throat entirely in a
Pickwickian sense, merely ito have
something to say" He had reached the
last feather" stage and chose an in
felicitous method of expressing his dec
laration of independence. There was
something pathetic in his explanation
to the Judge. "Other married men go
around with the boys" said he, ''but
I've been compelled to mind my own
children. I've washed and dressed
them; kept them always looking neat.
Then I've done all the cooking for the
whole family, besides the cleaning. Not
until everything was finished, every
thing looking trim and neat, and the
children having their afternoon nap,
did get chance to read novel and
smoke my pipe" Mr.. Stanley does not
ask for much. All he wants is a chance

The last piece Of property owned by
ex-senator Tabor, of Denver, was fore
closed a few days ago under a mort
gage for 100000. Fifteen years ago
he possessed fortune Of over 5000,
600. The year 1877 found him with his
family on the site where Leadville now
stands. Here, with two other men, Ia
Dor began mining in a small way and
on an apparently poor prospect. In
the course Of a few months he sold
his half interest for $1,OOO,O0O. En-
couraged by this unexpected success,
he went on selling and investing in new
mining property until in 1880 he had a
daily income greater than that Of any
man between New York City and Ne
vada. He built a residence that cost
$1,OOO,OOO. Unfortunate investments,
betrayed friendship, and political am
bition, united with the stringency Of
the times, have wrought the ex-Senat-
or's financial ruin Though past his
prime and deserted by summer friends,
who owe all they have to him, he has,
with true American pluck, set about re-
trieving his lost fortunes.

Isaac b. Potter Recently Elected Head
of American Wheelmen.
Isaac B. Potter, who was elected
President Of the League Of American
Wheelmen, has been prominent in the
cycling world for many years. His ac-
cession to the highest Office OF the
wheeling organization is, in the estima-
ton Of most cyclists a fitting tribute
to his efforts to procure for bicyclists
what they most desire good roads. So
hard has he struggled for improved
highways that he became universally
known as "Good Roads Potter. Five
years ago he established an office in
New York for the purpose of spreading
the gospel Of better roads. Through
his efforts tons of literature have been
circulated IN every quarter of the
United States. They fairly shrieked
good roads. Thousands of draft horses
in New York had their bodies orna-
mented with protective shields and
theirs eyes canopied with canvas hoods.
On the shields and hoods the device,

The book died, but it's death served to

Daniel Mayer, the English musica

Daniel Mayer, the English musical
agent, says America is the only country
besides England where great money!
is made by musicians. On the CONT
nent charges fer admission are small,
and there are not so many big halls,
consequently artists have to be content
with lesser receipts. A fee of ESQ is
considered as something very high in
deed for single performance "acrost
the water" The musical life is a very
uncertain one, it seems. Only those
who have made really big names make
big incomes. A great many "big'' vocal
lists and instrumentalists receive pupils,
even while at the height Of their popu-
larity. Musical suns are apt to set
very suddenly. Singers go out Of fash
ion quickly and do not get into fashion
again.

When woman gives man compli-
