LADY OR TIGER.
Experience of a Nan in Two Love
Affairs.

Frank R. Stockton wrote a funny
tale called the Lady or the Tiger"
James Burton of Ogden recently had an
experience that may enable him to give
Stockton points when he writes his next
story. Burton is an Italian of 80 yum
mers. The following story is related Of
him on information and belief. Some
months ago he wanted II wife, and ne
knew whom he wanted. She was back
in sunny Italy, and was willing to be-
come Mrs. Burton. The lover din the
case went to George W. Jones. ticket
broker, and deposited money for the
fare of the fair one to Ogden. Then
he waited. The woman in the case came
not. Then he went back to Jones and
was told to wait some more He did.
Still the lady came not, and finally 1t
developed that she had not received the
ticket. Meanwhile she had taken sick
and could not use the ticket. All ne
gotiations We're declared off. Burton
had a. dispute with the ticket broker,
sued him and got his money back, with
damages in the sum Of $40. This ended
matrimonial venture No. /, and then
came venture No. ., which is another
story. The story is this: The man
sought the aid of a. friend in Missouri
in getting a wife. The man recon-
mended Miss Avaro of Monet, Mo.
y
due time an exchange of photographs
was made. A picture of the lady from
Missouri was that of quite a, comeiy, if
somewhat elderly woman. An engage
ment was soon arranged, the lady
agreeing to marry Burton if he would
pay her fare to Ogden, and he accepted
her terms The ticket was sent, and
she came on, but when Burton saw her
he changed his mind forthwith, claim
ing that she was not the original of
the photograph that had been sent to
him. He said a good many other things
which it would not do to print. Then
he consulted an attorney. who told him
that he could get him out of fhe fix if
he would send the lady back to Mis-
souri,; otherwise Burton would have
either to marry her or stand a suit for
breach of promise, and the lady hav-
ing his promise in writing he would
probably lose the case. Burton did not
have the money to purchase a ticket
to Missouri, so he had to stand either
the lady or the law suit, and chose the
lady, and they were accordingly mar
ried.

PATAETIC STORY.
Pride and Poverty Drove a Frisco
Family to Insanity.

San Francisco. Nov. ia pathetic
scene was enacted in Judge Carroll
Cooks court room today, when John
Durr and his three daughters, Kate,
Theresa and Sarah. were adjudged in
sane and committed to the Ukiah asy-
lum.
The family has been living for many
years in little fiat at 172 Clinton Park,
renting the basement floor for So
month, on which money they have ex-
listed.
Recently they had been unable to coll
lect the rent, and the daughters, too
proud to beg, were on the verge of
starvation when their condition was
discovered.
The Durr family was at one time very
wealthy. The father was one of the
firm of Kennedy & Durr, who. in early
times, kept a large dry goods store at
Third and Howard streets, the firm
later removing to Market and Fourth
street When the father was accumu-
lating his fortune, he gave the daugh-
tiers all the advantages of good educa-
, ton. Kate, the oldest, graduated from
the high school, and was afterwards
given teachers certificate, Theresa
graduated with the very highest hon
ors from the Notre Dame convent in
this city, and was a writer of some
ability.
After the girls left school the father
began to invest in stocks, first making
little. then losing, till gradually his
fortune dwindled away. The loss Of
their property affected the girls minds
and they began to grow morbid. and
even refused visits from the enighbors
fearing their pauper condition might be
discovered.
The father has. of late, been peddling
a few wares about town, but his earn
ings were not sufficient to sustaine the
family

School Room Accident.

Little Zelma Farr was resting easily
yesterday, after her hurts received
from the fall in the school room pre-
sided over. by Mrs. Harcombe at the
city hall. 1t seems that no one except
a little school mate suspected the Sc
rious nature of the girls hurts for
some time after the accident. The girl
was standing at the blackboard on a
chair that was without a back. She
was doing some copying for the teach
err. After the fall she crept out and
lay down on the floor, without the
teacher learning how serious was the
accident At length another little girl
went to her and, coming back, asked
permission to go for the girls brother.
This was readily given. Physicians
pronounce the case serious.

AJAX LITIGATION.
Partly Heard Yesterday and Contin-
ued Until Tuesday.


The suit brought by Samuel Mcintyre
against the Ajax Mining company,
Henry NJ. Ryan, Frank Knox and
Others was partly heard a week ago,
came up again in Judge Hiles' division
Of the Third district court yesterday
afternoon.
The plaintiff alleged that Henry M.
Ryan had in his name, and with Frank
Knox, claimed to own 1900 shares Of
the capital stock OF the Ajax Mining
company, which really belonged to the
company, and should be, Mcintyre
claimed, covered into the treasury EOf
the company. He asked for an injunc-
ton to prevent Ryan from voting or
hearing of the suit The a., 600 shares
Of stock originally belonged to Henry
Shields and w !. Snyder, and were &C
quired by Ryan and Knox, the plaintiff
alleged, in an irregular way.
When the case was I'D week ago
the plaintiff closed his case, and yes
to-day the defendants introduced tes-
tiInuny to show, and which very
strongly tended to show, that the stock
had been acquired by Ryan, in whose
name it now stands, in a perfectly le-
ultimate manner, and that Mcintyre
knew all about il, and agreed and con-
scented TO il. The witnesses examined
were w. q. Nebel1er, Frank Knox and
Judge w. H. King, and further hearing
was continued until Tuesday morning.
when, it is understood, some testimony
in rebuttal viii be offered and the ar
guments made.

Judge Cherry yesterday on demurrer,

Lowell school for the purpose Of engag-

The defendant denlulred to the com

facts sufficient to constitute a cause of

it did not state what was the condition

which particular servants Of the de-
PENDANT were complained of in the ac-

DINGLEY BILL RESULTS.
A SIS Suit of Clothes Now Costs $50
in New York

A SIS Suit of Clothes Now Costs $40
in New York.
Washington Post: ''The new tariff
has undoubtedly put up the price of
mems clothing considerably, said Mr..
B. w. Hardin of New York at the Ra-
leigh. "A suit of clothes that could be
purchased for SIS last year cannot be
duplicated now under $40, and that fact
is d source Of annoyance to dealers and
customers alike. With men of ample
means, who have all their garments
made to order by fashionable tailors, So
or $40 additional on a suit is hardly
noticed, and if noticed, evolles no COM
plant. 1t is very different, however,
with those who have to be very careful
in their expenditures for to this class
S. represents a considerable sum. The
number of men who array themselves
in SIS and $40 suits in the United States
is largely in excess of those who pay
tailors $40 or $50 for suit, and it is
from the poor and middle class that
the kick against the Dingley bill is
sure to come"
