THE RECORDS GALLANTRY.

We congratulate the ladies of Cald-
well for the manner in which manv of
them WithstOOd the pressure that was
brought to bear on them by sentimental
talk to persuade them to support a
ticket that would be in every way det-
rimental to the best interests Of our
city. 1t has been said,tha il the wOm-
Ell were given the right Of franchise
that they would not look nj public
questions as men do, but would be lead
largely by enthusiasm. superinduCed by
quiXotic ideas. In our recent city
election this was fully exploded. A
large number of ladies voting for
what they believed to be for the best
interests of the town, Notwithstanding
the large quantity of saceharine matter
the TRIBUNE disseminated in its last
issue.
Some mems virtues shine forth
through every word they utter, for in
spite of themselves the emotions in
their hearts rise to their lips and the
ssul in them ooZes out every time
their mouths are opened. "We con-
graduate the ladies Of Caldwell" says
the Record. OF right, then, may We
examine the occasion for its felicita-
ton. We take it that the Records
congratulatiOn extends only to those
who voted as the Record did. Among
the men for whom the Record voted is
one who enjoys the distinction of elo-
quently maintaining, as a cardinal
economic principle, the doctrine that a
thriving traffic in female degradation
is an essential accompaniment of
municipal prosperity. Among those
for whom the Record voted is one gen.
teman who afirms that II public lewd
ness were banished, it would be unsafe
for the daughters of Caldwell to attend
Sabbath school. Do the ladies who are
the objects Of the Records cordial con-
graduation and tender solicitude ap
preciate the warmth of the compli-
ment? Among those for whom the
Record voted are gentlemen who pious-
~ believe that gambling houses are to
De accounted as attractions which no
"ell'regulated community can afford
to dispense with. It is no doubt proud
moment in the life of a lady when she
frst discovers that she is able to look
on these public questions" the same
as some men do, but prouder yet when
she finds that her vision is unobscured
by "quixotic ideas" and that "senti-
mental talk has no power to influence
her mind or change her heart. Was
ever a more beautiful tribute paid to
women than the delicate intimations of

that women are more susceptible to

PATRIOTISM.

When it appeared that a con.
hict was inevitable between the United
States and Spain, two of Caldwells
citizens-Dr. W. c. Maxey and Capt.
George Little-immediately rendered
their services to the Governor. It was
done with that patriotic feeling which
rises in the breast of all Americans.
Tuesday last when the news spread
over the country that the Senate had
concurred in the House resolution and
the war clouds assumed still more
threatening aspect, these same gentle
men had circulars printed calling for
volunteers to aid the President in
quelling the butchery that for years
has been going on in Cuba.
1t is not for fame that DIR. Maxey is
attempting to organize a company
here. Volunteers are coming forward
from all overt State. That Cald.
well, or Canyon county, should be one
of the FIRST to furnish company, was
the simple desire of the Doctor. His
efforts are being well received. A
number Of young men have already
given in their names and from Boise
several applications have been received.
We hope that before another issue of
The TRIBUNE goes out full company
will have been enrolled.

ARREST OF TEN
BICYCLE RIDERS
WERE CHARGED WITH vIoLAT-
ING CITY ORDINANCE.
Arraigned Before Alderman Millar
and Fined-ordinance Has Been in
Effect Since Oct. / But Mayor
Bailey Decided to Give Bicycle
Riders Sufficient Time to Become
Acquainted with Its Provisions.
Police Were Given Orders Yester-
day to Enforce the Ordinance.

Ten bicyclsts were arrested between
and 730 o'clock last evening on the
streets of the central city for violat-
ing a provision of the new bicycle or
dinance by not having lighted lamps
on their wheels to warn pedestrians of
their approach. Six of the arrests
were made on Wyoming avenue, be-
tween Spruce street and Lackawanna
by Patrolman Johler. Two were made
by Patrolman McMullen, one by Pa
trolman Haggerty, and one by PATROL
man Goerlitz.
They were all brought before Alder
man Millar and fined 50. except one
who paid 81 more. The ordinance fixed
a maximum fine of $40 and a minimum
of 50. The alderman was disposed to
be as lenient as he could be as it was
the first time arrests were made for
the offense.
The names of those arrested are: A.
r. Cohen, Fred Ladwig. George Cole,
J. F. Armburst, j. NJ. Knowlton, b.
Spiegel, Eugene Schimpff, the jeweler;
F. Miller and William Mcdowell.
Mr.. Mcdowell was fined 49, because
he did not take kindly to his arrest
and spoke word or two of his mind
about the new ordinance. He at first
refused to pay the fine, but yielded
when the alderman was going to make
out commitment papers to send him
to Jail.
The new ordinance has been in effect
since Oct. 1, but Mayor Bailey instruct
ed the police to hold off for a while
to give wheeImen a chance to get ac-
quainted with the new orders that ev-
cry one found violating should be ar
rested

AFTER THE RUNAWAYS.
Work Done by Sergeant Day and His
Detail Yesterday-Three Taken
Into Custody, But One Had
Furlough.

Sergeant Day and the detail of four
that are after the camp jumpers went
on duty at 10 o'clock yesterday fore
noon and rounded up three more alb
sentees. Private Walsh, of Company G,
Private Richards, of Company +, and
a private whose home is in Olyphant,
whose name could not be secured be-
cause none of the detail knew him and
he refused to tell it.
He was arrested at the Delaware
and Hudson station at go in the af-
ternoon by Private William Meyers,
who had to get him away from two
men who attempted to block the ar
rest. The private claimed he has a
cuse is not taken from any one, and
unless he gets the document he will
go back to Camp Meade with the 9TH
ers.
Private Walsh didn't have his fur
Tough with him when the detail took
him in, but he sent home for it and
when it came he was promptly re-
leased. Sergeant Day does not expect
to corral many more, because the news
is out that he is here TO bring back
the stray sheep, and all who did not
go back yesterday kept close quarters
and evaded arrest
The detail split up yesterday and
one man was posted at each of the
stations to watch out for returning
runaways.
1t is likely that the detail will re-
main in town the most of the week.

READING OF A WILL.
Heirs of the Late John Weber, ST.,
of Taylor, in Dispute Over His
Estate-Cause of the Trouble
Is FSulty Punctuation.

Squire Andrew Dole's disregard for
or lack of knowledge of, the niceties of
punctuation is responsible for big
ejectment suit being filed yesterday.
Minnie Weber is the plaintiff, and the
defendants are John Weber, Minnie
Kiefer, John =. Jones, John II. Hughes,
Mollie Weber, Joseph Weber, Celia
Weber and Lizzie Howell children or
heirs of the late John Weber, ST., of
Taylor The plaintiff is a grandchild.
When Squire Doles wrote Weber's
will he made him say this: Il give and
bequeath all my lands. messuages, tene-
ments. etc, in Lackawanna county, to
my wife for use during her life, and
after her death, to my granddaughter
Minnie Weber of Hyde Park | give and
bequeath the sum of 5000 to be paid to
her on attaining the age of twenty-one
years. All that shall remain after the
death of my wife / direct shall be di-
vided among my three children John
and Joseph Weber and Minnie Kiefer
"
John f. Scragg, attorney for the plain
tiff. declares that court will read the
will to mean that after the death of
the wife the property descended to the
| grandchild and that the children must
! be content with whatever property the
decedant had outside OF Lackawanna
| county, which was none. The children
who have taken possession OF the prop
erty in question contend that court will
say that their father intended his
grandchlld, Minnie Weber, should have
5000 after the wife's death and no more
or less.
| Everything depends on how court will
punctuate the clause quoted above.

THE LAND OF PROMISE.
Described by James A. Shepherd in
Most Interesting Manner in
Elm Park Church Before a
Large Audience.

James G.. Shepherd was greeted by
a fatterinG audience last evening in
Elm Park church. The room was
crowded to the doors. The platform
was surrounded by an array OF palms
making quite an oriental scene.
That Mr.. Shepherd made pleasant
impression in his description of "A
Trip to the Land of Promise" would
be to express but mildly the senti-
ments entertained by all who heard
his delightful lecture. He has Travelled
to some purpose and is able to afford
much pleasure to those who hear his
experiences.
With an excellent voice a fine style
of oratory and a keen gift of obser-
walton he gave a most entertaining
evening. The lecture abounded with
bright and witty thoughts He be-
gan with the trip across the Allan
til and gave a particularly clever de-
scription of the passage through the
Straits of Gibralter. The visit to Alex
andria where a lady tourist expressed
a desire to secure some of Cleopatra s.
needles for home use and where n
man of the party demanded to know
the location of the dOnkeys which were
to convey them to Jerusalem, which,
by the way, was a trip of 1000 miles
away. We're among the incidents re-
lated as was an amusing ascension Of
Cheops.
The mosque of Oma" and many other
objects of Mohamme1ns with their
odd customs were mentioned and the
all prevailing demand for bachsheesh
were given Il prominent place. Beth
lehem, the streets of Jerusalem the
solemn hill of Calvary and the outer
points of interests near the Holy City
werc rapidly touched upon. A charm
ing word picture of the Dear yea, the
Jordan river and Jericho were among
the interesting feature of the lecture
The horse back journey to PSestinc
whcn the speaker occupied position
on the back Of A steed which he named
"Fphesus" because it was a great ruin
contained a series of amusing and en-
tertaining recollections.
Nazereth came in for many historical
illusions interspersed with humorous
personal experiences. Whenever Mos
lem rule is maintained cripples anc
| wretChedness are seen. The armies OF
| lepers, the throngs of miserable women
and children mark the track of this
| religion.
The climax Of the picture was reach.
| ed in a picture of the Sea of Galilet
from the Mount Of the Beatitudes.

and yet a wonderful factor for good in
cases of nervous fear, Jealousy, disap-
pointment and unrequited love. 1t Is
great hysterical remedy.

myn and after 1t was over Proprietor
Godfrey placed the parlors of the hotel

the evening session was held 1t was

ANOTHER CONTEST DISPUTE.
Court Will Be Asked to Pass Upon
1t Today.

The attorneys for the contestant. in
the Langstaff- Kelly election contest,
are now engaged in presenting collat-
eral evidence to sustain their allega-
tions against certain voters. In a num-
ber of instances yesterday witnesses
were called to contradict the testimony
of preceding witnesses, as, for instance,
the officer serving the subpoenas would
be put on the stand to tell that John
Smith. who swore that his boy, Peter
Smith, was over twenty-one. admitted
to him, the officer, that he was under
age.
The respondents attorneys claim that
this is improper, as IT is contrary to
the rule of evidence forbidding a party
to contradict his own witness. The
stenographer was directed to make a
transcript of the objections for prescn-
tation to court today. Thirty-four wit
nesses were examined yesterday.
