His Nibs Beached.

We had supposed j. Pierpont Morgan
was too astute a financier to lose $4,000
on a cat fight, but he has Just buried
an investment representing that sum Of
money because il was i'm the form of a
mortal bull pup instead of enduring
stocks and bonds.
The death and burial of "His Nibs''

bad investment by a great ~fnancier,
but of misdirected ambition on the part

HIDDEN
Queer Places That Women Choose as Be
ing Safe.

The stocking bank, the favorite hid
ing place of a past generation. has now
become almost obsolete, except with a
very few old-fashioned people in quiet,
out-of-the-way villages, says the New
York Journal, yet there are many meth
DDS of storing away money and valua-
bles equally as uuaint, which are still
adopted by ladies.
An elderly spinster who resides in one
of the many ancient houses to be found
in Boston, had a set of stationary draw
ers topped by cupboards specially built
into a huge closet into one of the rooms.
The lower drawer, instead of resting di-
rectly on the floor, ran on grooves about
two inches above it. This lower drawer
she would pull out and place large sums
Of money and all her jewel cases left in
the space below. and then replace the
drawer. which she kept filled with linen.
The old lady would always declare that
IL the house was broken into and the
drawers ransacked. no one would think
of pulling them right out. and thai her
hiding place was far safer than any
bank.
Equally shrewd was a woman in
Cleveland, who, whenever she had oc-
cision to leave her home at all, would
put her money and jewelry in the coal
scuttle, covering them up carefully with
several layers of coal This might have
proved a somewhat risky experiment in
the winter months, when the fire had to
be fed, but their owner felt that no
burglar would ever dream of looking in
a coal scuttle for valuaDles.
Another lady once confided to the
writer that if she had occasion to leave
her house she invariably placed her jew
elry in her old shoes. which were placed
alongside the new ones. Quite a lot Of
yaluables can be forced down INTO the
toes without having giving the slightest
evidence of the value therein.
OF other hiding places, perhaps the
most popular, especially for paper
money, is the big family Bible. 1t is
quite a customary thing in out-of-the
way ountry houses to thus secure any
valuable papers in the possession of the
family. Tea caddies and sugar bowls
make excellent temporary safes, and
the pocket of an old dress hanging in an
unconcealed way in a wardrobe is re-
garded by many women as one of the
safest places imaginable for spare rings,
brooches and bracelets.
One lady the other day took her first
railroad rid from a Central New York
own to this city. so that she might
draw her savings from the bank here
at home. Her money had been here
through the panics of I3 and '93, but
she thought il safer now. while the war
with Spain was on, to take IL out n
place IL nearer her. She would not trust
any one but herself TO come on and
draw the few hundreds.

Clubs Line Up.

To-day's baseball game at the Ath-
letic park gives promise of being an in
teresting event. The game will be be-
tween Butte n Anaconda, and. as the
former team has been materially
strengthened, tire local players will
lave to play some fast ball if they ex-
pect to keep up their unbroken record
of victories.
Those who saw the last game be-
tween Butte and Anaconda pronounced
IL the best exhibition of ball playing
that has ever been seen in this city.
the only regrettable feature being that
the score was a bit too large. There is
no reason why to-day's game should
rot be in every way as good as hat of
three weeks ago. and even better. for
the new material that Butte has Sc
cured cannot fail to strengthen the team
from the Smoky City. Butte has Muir
ply and Arneson. late of the Pacific
Northwest league, and two ball players
Of ability. Murphy vas Portland's
catcher, while ArnesCn played short
for Spokane. There will also be other

Anaconda, too, will have new men on
her team. Donahoe of Butte will play
short for the home team, while Doc"
Emerson will once more appear in his
old position at first. Lynch is booked
to pitch for Anaconda, and it is prob
able that Burton will also take a turn
at twirling, provided his arm is not
sore. Owing to the fact hat Long

he will be unable to play to-day. Miley

cCnda. 1t is the first time that Nc
Donough has played with the local
team in this city, but the fans here
know what he can do, having seen him
rlay here with the Butte team a couple
OF times.
The game to-day will be called at
2:45 o'clock. Ladies will be admitted
to the grounds and grand stand free of
charge. A feature of -tO-day's game,
and one that will be much appreciated,
will be the tabulated score cards, which
will be distributed free of charge by the
club. Those who care to keep track of
the plays will have a score card ready
to hand. John C~'Skinny") Powers will

which were much appreciated and re-

They Have Attended County Normal

Hon. l.. G. McGrSth, Superintendent,
Lordsburg. N. NJ.
Dear Sir;-YOur favor OF the 18th inst,
Is at hand, and In reply TO your inquiry
az 10 whether a person who has not at
tended the normal institute created by
chapter 81 Of the laws OF 1897 can be en-
plOyed a. a teacher In any public school
In this territory, l will say that II Is my
opinion that section 3 Of said act, in adj
dition 10 other qualifications imposed
upon teachers by law, imposes an attend
ance upon the normal institute OF the
county In which he resides or teaches, or
upon some other normal institute within
the year in which such teacher acts In
the capacity OF teacher.
In my opinion the terms OF the act
cited above are mandatory, and the EN-
plOyment OF a person 10 teach who has
not the necessary certificate OF attend,
anc al some normal institute that salts
ies the requirement OF the act would be
In violation OF the law.
therefore give II my opinion that
those persons who have not complied
with the provisions OF section 3, chapter
81, act OF 1897, are not entitled 70 teach
and should not be employed as teachers
In New Mexico.
