This story is floating around among
the story tellers, who say it has never

in his office one day of a big black
woman who wanted his service, says
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
"Say. boss" she commenced, "how
much will it cost to cIah woman If she

THAT depends on circumstances he
answered. If the case wasn't an ag

A Close Call,

Mr.. Condor, who was formerly book
keeper for Coffin Bros, had a narrow es-
cape on the Chllcoot pass a short time

He was pulling his sled on a down
grade, when it became unmsnageable
overtaking and striking him, and throw
landed on top of him. He was nearly
smothered and al most discouraged, and
writes that only the thought Of wife and
babies spurred him on until he finally
got out and proceeded on TO the lakes.

nizatlon, and, as is the custom, was fit
tingly celebrated The club room was

~
Tctricus, the barbarian, was the first
gentleman To wear trousers, says the
Boston journal. He had no heart in
the Inauguration of the new fashion;
he simply had TO do it; Aurelian the
Roman had captured Tetricus on one
OF his raids and determined to carry
him in triumph 10 Rome as one of the
spoils OF conquest. To make the cap
tive appear rs ridiculous as possible, he
was arraycd in two-part garment
which in Boston might have been called
pants" Instead Of appearing ridicu-
lous, Tetricus seems TO have made
hit" for the garment he wore slowly
but surely grew in favor with the people
of Rome. We might find the origin of
many customs in the same way. 1t is
known that Charles VII. Of France wore
long coat TO conceal his crooked legs.
Not all the French wrre crooked. but
coats became fashionable, nevertheless.
The process by which Peter the Great
put civilized clothes on his uncivlized
subjects had more method in it. The
gates Of the towns were hung with gar
ments of the new fashion and the peo-
Pile were obliged to adopt them or be
publicly punished.

THE BOTTSIN CASE.
Progress Made I'm breaking Down
Prosecution Slight.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 22.-The
defence of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, for the
murder of Mrs. John B. Cunning, opened
to-day, but the progress made in the
breaking down Of the case Of the prose-
cution was very slight. DR.. George NJ.
Tyrell was the principal witness. He.
however, was so uncertain in his testi-
mony, and contradictory, that he diu the
defence very little good. He testified that
he had visited Mrs. Botkin on Sunday
afternoon, July 3lst. between the hours
OF 3 and 8 O'clock, and treated her for
headache. This is the time and date
sworn 10 by Misses Heney and Dilmars.
of Haas's candy store, when they sold
Mrs. Botkin-a beg OF chocolate bOnbons.
DR.. Tyrell, for some reason. made no
entry on his Westinghouse. and rendered
no bill for services 20 Mrs. Botkin. He
could not specify the time Of his visit
more accurately than between 3 and )
o'clock in the afternoon" When aues-
toned regarding arsenic poison. the pros
ecutlon brought out that the doctor knew
nothing of arsenic poisoning.
Mrs. Botkin was called to the stand at
a late hour this afternoon. She told of
her acquaintance with Cunning. denying
many OF his statements. She also denied
much of the testimony Of Lizzie Liver
nash, a reporter, who testified 10 the
hysterical condition of Mrs. Botkin when
informed OF Mrs. Cummings death. and of
several discriminating admissions made by
Mrs. Botkin in interviews with her. She
denied ever having purchased candy of
mas or mat she ever purchased n hand

ner testimony tomorrow.
