A PINCHBECK

it's extremely disappointing TO learn that
a bill has been introduced into the Idaho
legislature to legalize prize fights within
the borders OF that State.
The bill is servilely initiative, palpably be
gotten OF jealous spasm over the tran
sient boom which Ida hos great rival, Ne
vada, is enjoying through its prospective
prize fight. Is it possible that Idaho can
originate nothing?
In order to understand fully the pitiful
character of this move on the part of Idaho
one must know something of the long and
fierce struggle for social and commercial
supremacy that has been Waged between
the two great commonwealths.
Idaho and Nevada are sovereign States,
each having several hundreds Inhabitants
and n vast wealth of arid surface, punctured
at far intervals with deserted prospectholcs.
Their territ ories are contiguous and for
longtime thecompetition between them was
OF a peculiar negative kind. That is, IL
Idanoannounced with flourish of trumpets
thatseven familieshad raised enoughmoney

conyulsed with envious wrath over the
more blissful State of the Idahoans. Then II
in time Nevada were to retaliate in kind
by pioclaiming that three citizens had
been released fl ON the pains of residence
within her borders by the kindly ministra-
tons of death it was Idaho's turn to fan
prey to consuming jealousy.
In the course Of years the number Of
persons who might benefit by either course
seemed to have become exhausted and the
undying rivalry turned, perforce, to other
channels.
In 1896 Idaho had rather the best OF
it. new settler having moved in and three
Indians returning from a season with
a wild West show having appreciably in
creased the circulating medium per capita
But S91 begins with Nevada way ahead
on account of the supreme stroke of the
prize fight Idaho would make a puerile
mistake, however, in trying to initiate Ne
vada's coup. Let herinvent real counter
attraction, something like a divorce car
that can be hitched to through trains at
one border Of the State and grant de-
cree before the other is reached.

the End of March.
Doctor Mccoy Gives Due and
Sufficient Notice AC-
COrdi1g TO His
Agreement.
There Will Be Positively No Exten-
sion or Continuance Be-
yOnd That Date.

In giving the So rate Doctor Nc
Coy reserved to himself the right
to- withdraw it 10 new patients

i'm the public prints. Doctor Mccoy
finds that the time has come to ex-
ercise that right, the number OF
patients now growing so large as
TO very soon exceed the possibility
of personal care and attention He
therefore announces that il Will be
impossible TO continue the rate after
April L, except to those patients al
ready under regular treatment, who
are, OF course, entitIt d to it until
cured. Until April L all patients
applying for treatment or renewing
treatment will be treated until
cured at the rate of So month
There will be, however, no further
extension of the rate, and it will
not be given again in Doctor Nc
Coy's practice. After April L Doc

The Discontinued Woman.

Discontinued women are always egotiStS.
They view everything with regard TO them
selves, and have, therefore, the defective
Eympathics that belong To low organiZa-
tions. They ncTer win confidence, for their
discomfort breeds distrust and doubt, and
however clever they may naturally be, an
obtrusive self, with its train of Iiliings and
dislikings, obscures their judgment, and
they take false views OF people and things.
For this reason it is almost hopeless ef-
fort TO show them how little people geIi-
orally care about their grievance, for they
have thought about themselves SO long
and so much that they cannot conceive of
any other subject interesting the rest of
the world.-Harper's Bazar-

RESCUE HOME ABANDONED.
American Volunteers Have Given Up
the Idea for the Present

At present it seems as though the
proposed rescue home in Topeka will
be given up. Capt. Shannon Of the
American Volunteers started the idea
and received assistance from the Social
Purity league. Capt. Shannon was at
the general conference of the Volun-
teers in Chicago last week and Adj.
Gen. Fielding of the Volunteers advised
that the Topeka corps should not at
tempt the work for the present at least.
Capt. Shannon said: The Volunteers
have as much as they can attend to
at present and no matter how much
good could be accomplished by the
home it would be probably more than
they could well manage. The people
of Topeka have always been liberal in
their donations and as it would be an
additional tax upon their generosity it
is a question whether they should be
asked to support the home. The work
of carrying on such a home is also
quite difficult and it takes persons with
experience and peculiar qualifications
to successfully do the work. It may be
that in the future the Volunteers will
organize home but not for the pres
enU at least
Mrs. e. a. VanCleave, president of
the Social Purity league is warm ad-
vocate of the home project and it may
be that the league viii conduct home
on their own reSpOnSi bility if a Suita BILE
location can be found.

STATUTES ARE READY.
New Compilation by Judge Webb IS
Being Distributed.

The legislature authorized Judge w.
c. Webb to compile all general laws
in force at the close of the last session,
and he has completed his work, and it
has been approved by the justices of
the supreme court and attorney gener-
al, and accepted by the state
This was a work greatly needed by
the people generally, and Judge Webb
is especially qualified to do it.
The last revision made by the legis-
Iature was made in 1868; since that
time there have been two compilations
one by c. F. Dassler in 1879. and one by
Irwin Taylor in 1889. The Taylor com
pilatiOn is eight years old. Since it
was issued there have been four ses-
sions of the legislature, the decisions
of the courts, many new and amerda-
tory laws passed, and numerous laws
repealed and amended, which rendered
a new compilation necessary.
Judge Webb had 1000 sets of the new
statutes printed, which he has sold to
the Kansas Statute company of Tope-
6a, and they are putting them on sale
for IS per set to citizens OF Kansas.
The general statutes have never been
sold for less than $40.

e'WHITE LADYE" SOLD.
Yacht Formerly Owned by Mrs.
Langtry Disposed of at Auction.

London, Nov. 25.-The yacht White
Ladye, formerly the property of Mrs
Lily Langtry. the actress, has been sold
at auction for e11. 200. The vessel cost to
build for Lord Ashburton (F'rancis Ed
ward Barfng) 100000, and Mrs Langtry
spent 100000 in decorating the yacht and
her state boudOir suite.
a few years ago Mrs. Langtry refused
$4,000 for the White Ladye and the yes
sci was chartered to the late Ogden Goe>
let of New York, who used her until his
palatfal steam yacht May Flower was
about completed.
Mr. GoeIet, who had possession of the
White Ladye for about four years. is un>
derstood to have paid something like So
900 yearly for her hire alone. Mrs. Lang
try was anxious to sell the yacht, as she
had no further use for it. But there were
only two bidders, and the White Ladye
was bought by Lawson Johnston, who
some time ago purchased the Prince OF
Wales racing cutter Britannia

STREET RAILWAY DEAL.
Controlling Interest in the Heston-
vile Company Changes Hands.

Philadelphia, Nov. pa deal was
contaminated today by which a prOmi-
nent banking firm disposed of it's entire
holdings of HestOnville, ManUua and
Paramount Railway company stock,
over $4,000 shares "a controlling inter
est), to parties who are known to be
closely identified with the mana cement
of the Union Traction company. The
officials of the latter company say that
it was purely a transaction of an indi-
Vidual, and that the company is not di-
Tectly concerned. As a result. it is sta
ted that the two companies will hence
forth be operated in harmony, and the
opinion is general that the HestOnville
viii actually pass into the control of
the Union Traction.
The Union Traction company for sew
eral years has controlled all the street
railway lines of Philadelphia with the
exception of those of the HeStOnVille
company. The latter operates "A miles

IA TURN OF THE SCREW
POpulist State Central Com
mittee Follows the Custom
And Assesses the Employees in
State Institutions 2 Per CT.
One Reason Why the Spells System
Extends to the States Charities
Provides a Campaign Fund
for the Next Election.

A levy of two per cent month on the
wages Of employees at the state insti-
tutions has been made by the POpu
list central committee.
The employees at the insane asylum
here are making strong objections to
the charge but with little hopes of its
doing any good. The rule is that the
two per cent levy shall date from the
first of last July. Any one who has
been employed from that date on any
subsequent date must pay the. back
assessment. The wages average about
$25 and it would make a person who
has been employed since July LIST in
debted to the central committee to the
amount Of $2.5 and between the first of
December and next election they will
have to pay Sc making a total of $3.50.
The Republicans who are still in Of
flee have not been and will not be as
sessed. This has been the custom of
political parties for several years. On
a salary of $500 per year this amounts
to something that looks much larger,
$50 per year. The state central COM
mlttee says the assessment must be
paid by all members of the party who
are employed in the state institutions.

The Burlington's New Observation
VestibuIed Trains.

A very handsome set of wide obser-
walton vesubuled trains are just out OF
the Burlington's shops. They are avail
able for all classes of travel, and are
the only trains of their kind to St
Louis from the Missouri River These
are the Denver, Missouri River and St
Louis limited trains. Every car has a
wide observation vestibule. The trains
are lighted throughout with Pintsch
gas and equipped also with standard
and compartment sleepers.
These trains are a duplicate of the
new Eli to Chicago.
This achievement reflects the high
est credit upon the Burlington man
agement in Missouri, which is the first

HORSE HELPED TRADE.
What the Show Did to Put Money
in Circulation in New York

New York, Nov. 25.-The horse show
is a memory, and all that is left for
the town to do is to count up the prof
its in money and pleasure. Both have
been equally large. Society has pro-
nOunced the show a success and trade
rubs its hands with glee.
How much money went into circula-
ton through the medium of the show
may be only guessed. Suffice to say
that 1t ranges into a million.
Take the Waldorf and Astoria, for
instance. The hotel people say 2.200
persons dined and 2,572 supped there on
Friday night
The average for each night did not
fall below 1000 Tor each meal. On this
you can figure it out for yourself: it is
one item alone. Few persons in the
two big hotels dine for less than So
cover, and at supper certainly as much
as that.
As an instance, take this experience
of one of the Judges at the show He,
being from out of town, blithely agreed
to pay half the check. There were
four persons in the party.
''Au right said the other man, your
share is $780,
Taking the show itself, there were
nearly 100000 paid admissions at 81 d
head. The box holders paid So, 900.
How much it cost to get the entries
to the show only the railroads can tell
There were nearly 500 entries, and pro-
badly more than one-haf came from
out of town. It cost about $36 a horse,
by the way, to ship them from the
neighborhood of Chicago.
OF the 100 600 visitors it is estimated
by dressmakers that 2 per cent were
women with new gowns. So 1000
gowns at an average cost of 800 for a
tailor made gOWn-a fair average
make an outlay of 5000 900 for gowns
alone.
Hertel. the mans tailor in Fifth ave
nue., says a mans morning costume
costs SIS for sack coat, trousers and
WaiStcOat. It was estimated by an OBJ
server with a curious mind that fully
500 men appeared each morning with a
new suit, so to put it at a fair average
about 100000 must have gone in this
way.
Afternoon costume for a man costs
S75 for a coat and $15 for trousers, and
the same mind estimates that $4,000
went for this dress. In the same way
there must have been new dress suits
enough at the show to bring the even
ing turnout up to $50, 900.
In harness a fortune was spent. Much
of this, of course, is in daily use, but
at least 10 per cent was brand new
According to Harris and Nixon, single
road harness costs $50; double road
$780, single runabout, $95 single
brougham, $3.50; pair horses brOugham,
$500; tandem, $75; four horse, between
$3.50 and $780, to say nothing of stable
trappings and saddles. Fully $125, 900
worth of harness is said to have been
shown.
50, taking this estimate, it is safe to
say that the horse show set more than
d million dollars in circulation in New
York.
