One story told of Miller gained him great
popularity among the vaqueros about Gil
roy. Once when driving over the Pacheco
Pass he was stopped by Mexican high
wayrnan. He promptly handed to him all
the money In his pocket-some $500. As
the man turned away with the gold Miller
called after him:
Say, you know me. My names Miller.
I've got a long drive to make and I've given
you all the money! had. Can't you let me
have twenty?"
The highwaymaB handed Miller $50 of
the none y he had taken from him and each
passed on his way.
Several months later Miller saw the
same man in saloon at Gllroy. He went
up to him, took $50 from bis pocket, and
offered IL to him, saying carelessly:
Here's the money owe you."
.You don't owe me anything" said the
Mexican, fearful Of arrest.
.sOf course do; here, take It."
''Nothing to me-" insisted the Mexican.
'Do you remember me borrowing $50
from you n the pass few months ago?"
Don't remember anything about It,"
said the Mexican, and Miller keptbis money.

Anacostia has had an epidemic of do
agree anG separate being MI. and Mrs
John Middleton, who moved in the hes
circles al that place.
The husband has been employed as trav-
efing salesman for a local grocery firm, but
Il is reported that he recently lost his pO-
sition. The couple had lived very happily,
and two children were the result of the
marriage. Everything went along well
until Middleton began TO sell goods at Good
Hone nearby village, and incidentally
IL is stated TO pay attention to well
known lady in mat place. The salesman
found it convenient TO lie In tie neighbor-
hood of Good Hope su fIequentiy that peo-
lie began TO talk, aud the stories reached
Mrs Middleton's ears. She at fist dis
credited tie reports, bot as the evidence
accumulated, renonstTated with her huS
band. The visits grew more frequent, and
finally the wife pot her 1oot down on 1t.
Middleton petsisted in his attentions, aud
the domestic warfare began.
Ii Is stated in the neighborhCCd that Mrs.
Middleton was often beaten by her husband,
aud that violent brawls were frequent.
Ms. Middleton s sister, Miss Susie Sou
Gers. of Pennsyivania, came 10 visit the
family, but she took sides with the wife,
AMI was sumniar riIy asked to leave. The
open rupture occurred Monday night Mid
dlcton WAS engaged in destroying the
furniture IN his wrath, when his wife
asl.ed him to desist. He TUNED upon her
sayaCely with the knife in his hand. In
her flight she ran out on the Iolch, scream
ing al the top Of ben voice, and fell in
faint, as the IeightorS came running up.
The husband aud wife then decided to
separate and steps We're taken to divide
the effects Tuesday night, Middleton,
who, It'll alleged, had been drinking, drew
a pistol out OF his pocket and said to his
wife that il it were not fol the fact that
he would be tried for IT, be would blow
out her brains. The man grew angrier,
and some minutes later pistol shot was
heard by the people living nearby. Middle
ton says that he shot at the bathtub, and to
prove his assertion shows the hole made by
the bullet. The police investigated the
affair but thus far have taken no further
steps.
The household effects We're NOV cd
around to house on Washington street,
Anacostia, yesterday morning. 1t is said
that Middleton will leave for Philadelphia,
while his wife is to remain at her home.
The affair is the source of great gossip
in Anacostia, and the "other woman" in
the case, who is married and living with
her husband, comes in for quite quantity
or abuse Friends are endeavoring to effect
n reconciliation, but as Middleton sa VS. that
he intends to spend as much Of his time In
his inamorata's society as he did in the
past, which Mrs. Middleton considers
entirely too much for decency's sake, the
attempts will likely result In nothing.

Bishop Potter In London.

Bishop Potter may be said TO have made
the popular hit of the evening with two
pious anecdotes The first anecdcte of the
bishops related to a certain Mrs. Ruddles,
who, he said, came from Buffalo and who
was shown the Apollo Belvidere I'm for
eign gallery According to DR.. Potter when
A polio was pointed out by the guide, Mrs.
Riddles surveyed the statue critically, and
then observed:
"weu, il that is the Apollo Belvidere,
Give me Ruddles"
This taie bore subtly upon some interna-
tional question, but it's import was lost in
the ensuing merriment.
The second anecdote relates more directly
to the toast OF "Our Ambassador" con-
cerning rs it did, exMinister to Turkey
Terrell The bishop said that one morning
the Sultan sent for Minister Terrell, and
said to him:
"Mr Minister, am Informed that one
Of your American newspapers has spoken
very disrespectfully of me-"
To which Minister Terrell responded:
"Yom maiecty, there are 80 900 news
papers in the United states that give you
hell every morning"

effect Of this story, that the bishop pro-
