eAsHFoRD WAS eUNcoED.
Called to Denver by Telegram That
 Was Calculated to Deceive Him.

In the suit of the Jersey Lily Gold Mine company vs Bashford, Judge Johnson this morning quashed the summons on the defendant. The suit is one arising out of alleged misrepresentation made by Bash ford to a company of Englishmen when he sold the mine to them. The company was not entirely satis- fled with the management and work ! ing of the mine and sent an expert to Arizona to report on the mine.
 The expert reported that the quality of ore and the amount of Improvements on the property was not as represented by Bashford to them. Bashford was at the mine, in Arizona. One of the directors of the company, whose residence IS In Rhode Island was at the time suit was instituted i'll Denver. The com mittee of investigation sent out by the British stockholders conceived the idea of securing service on Bash ford and Keating, the Rhode Island officer, in Denver, and for that pur- pose sent fraudulent telegrams to Bashford to have him come to Den yer. When Bashford arrived in this city he was served with process and suit was thus started.
 Bashford contested the service on the ground of alleged duress and the motion to quash, which was this morning decided. was filed. Judge Johnson granted the motion and in doing so, said: "The manner of bringing Bashford, which I do not mean to say was fraudulent, was to say the least questionable. The law does not contemplate that service upon a defendant should be secured by any such methods. The plain tiffs evidently thought to save them selves a multiplicity of suits by hay ing Bashford and Heating in the same jurisdiction at the same time. The motion to quash will be allowed.

The marriage of the son Of VI. Deb
lier, the public executioner of France,
took place recently before the mayor Of
the Sixteenth Arrondissement, Paris.
The ceremony was purely civil in char
acter, only thirteen witnesses being
present. Nj. Deblier, or, as he is more
familiarly known, Monsieur de Paris,
not only the most aged official execu-
toner in the world, but likewise the
one person who had probably put
more human beings out Of existence
than any other living man. There is
n sort of gruesome atmosphere of a
forbidding character which seems to
surround the public executioners of
Europe. They are usually men of
fine self-culture and education, retir-
ing in disposition and plainly respect
able bourgeois in their domestic rela-
tions. Being denied the privilege Of
the society around them by the char
acter of their profession, they have
society of their own which is as ex-
elusive as that Of royalties, for they

and intermarry. Thus M. Deblier is
second cousin by marriage of the
headsman of Prussia, and his wife was
the daughter Of the executioner Of
Algiers, descendant of the famous
Samson who guillotined Marie An
toinette and her royal spouse, Louis
XVI. But the son Of the present
Monsieur de Paris, Joseph Francois
Deblier, has made, as it were, a NOR
ganatic marriage by seeking his wife
Rosalie Roges-outside the families of
the executioners. She was formerly
cigarmaker in one of the government
factories. She is twenty-one and her
husband is thirty-fve. According to
the marriage settlement, M. Debier
gives as a dowry to his wife the sum
of $4,000. He will probably sue
ceed his father before long. For the
last ten years he has been the old
gentleman's assistant in all executions
of note.

marked, "That's the way you shoot p

Novci Use of Phosphorus In the Firing
of Cuban Plantations.
Professor Marshall, who is head in
structor Of chemistry ut the Uniyer.
sity of Pennsylvania, in the course of
recent lecture on the action of phos-
phorus, read some extracts from Il
letter he had received from Cuba,
which told of II novel use the insur-
gents had made Of this chemical. In
the summer OF 1896 the writer of the
letter had lived in province where
the raising of sugar was the principal
industry. The crop was just ready
for harvesting, when the Spanish sol
diers took possession of the district
and proclaimed martial law. The
fields throughout the district were
covered with ripe sugar-cane which is
very infammable.
Despite the presence of the soldiers
the insurgents managed to fire several
fields. The force of sentries was
doubled, but although no insurgents
were seen the fires became more fire.
quent. 1t was concluded that the
firing was being done by strategy, and
all suspicious characters were there
after forced to give an account of them
selves. An old farmer carrying a
large basket, who was in the habit Of
passing the lines regularly, was stopped
several times, but nothing more sus-
picious than rolls of butter were found
upon him. 1t was noticed, however,
that the fires always followed in the
wake of this farmer, and spy was
detailed to follow him one day. I'm
aware of his surveillance, the sus-
pect stopped Mt II sugar field and threw
several of his rolls of butter among
the cane. He was at once arrested
and confessed to the burning of the
fields. 1t seems that each of those
rolls of butter contained quantity of
phosphorus, which, as is well known,
ignites spontaneously when exposed
to the air. The heat of tine sun would
melt t.,e butter and expose the phos-
phorus. The length of time it took to
melt the butter allowed the incendiary

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Reason is the eye of thought.
Character is a polyglot linguist.
History is embalmed humanity.
Let sin live, and il will kill you.
Two nothings should never marry.
A good man must be good MS well as
do good.
Reformation is the spring. time Of
thought.
Only agood man can see good things
in others.
Loose thinking and loose morals
go together.
A little tombstone may cast a very
long shadow.
The hard places in life are never
made any better by growing.
,Iost flowers require attention to be
made to grow. So does gossip.
Beauty may only be skin deep, but
the pride of it reaches into the heart.
Those who prefer the service of sin,
must be satisfied with the wages of
sin.
Tribulation aud sorrow are the only
bleaching agents that will whiten the
robes of Gods people.
Have you learned the sweet lesson
that you can get much ont of every
little you receive with thankful
heart?
That thing is the most useful which
is best adapted to the purpose. God
can make more use of an illiterate
man among certain class, than of n
cultured one. RAMS Horn.

here given the material is covert cloth
banded with braid, and the garment is
designed for general wear with any
gown, but all suiting materials, as
we'll as cloth OF various sorts, can be
treated in similar manner.
The seamless back and pouched
fronts are joined by shoulder and un-
der-arm seams, the basque portion
being separate and scanned to the
jacket at the waist'line. The right
front laps we'll over the left, where the
closing is effected by means of buttons

buttons being added to give the

ished with deep collar that is square

Of braid. The sleeves are two-seamed
