a German Nobleman.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Madelfne
Bouton, the pretty actress, will leave
for New York today to wed Baron Nip
tsch, a German of high degree. This de-
termination was the result of heated
correspondence by wire. Miss BoutOn
and the baron have been betrOthed for
some time, but it was not their purpose
to marry at present.
When the actress recovered from the
injuries received during rehearsal, which
it was thought at first would prove IA
tai, she decided to go to Honolulu for
her health. She wired this fact to Ba-
ron Niptsch. He replied promptly that
he did not wish her to make the jour

her determination to go.
This stirred the German and during
the following forenoon he sent the ac-
tress nine kilograms, the last being in

The meeting of the woman's club on
Wednesday was well attended and the
programme was full of interest. Miss
Gallogly's paper on Our Public Statu-
airy" reviewed briefly and with artistic
judgment the examples of this art as
found in other countries. so that we
might la a criterion by which to
consider our own achievements. This
interesting paper gave rise to a discuss
ion as to Montana's representatives in
the Memorial hall. but opinions were
so divided that no conclusion was
reached. AS this was the day devoted
to the tourist department. Japan was
again the topic. Mrs. Reimel. whose
subject was THE Literature of the
Japanese" by her excellent paper,
made this comparatively unfamiliar
study assume a very attractive appear
ance. The club members entered into
the spirit of the writer. and an enter
tanning debate followed the paper. The
next meeting is Presidents Day. when
all the women's clubs of the city are
invited to meet with the Woman's club
in the parlors of the Presbyterian
church. The poems selected by the
committee will be read. and the audi
ence will vote upo the II to be given

That is a very poor way for lawyers
to do. especially in a case of this mag

said the court. The Judge asked Riley

employ one. and the defendant an
swered in the negative. The court then
appointed Edwin M. Lamb, but the lat
ter begged to be relieved from the re-
sponsibility and expense of the case.
He said he had already declined to take
the case. and he believed he was utter
ly powerless to do justice to himself and
the defendant. Mr.. Lamb said he was
familiar with Riley's means, and knew
that he could not raise the expense of

At that hour Mr.. Cason asked for a
