Lyncbing of the Sicilians.

Il am the last man who looked for
any trouble with the Italians. ! had
always been very friendly with them,
and had attended to them on several
occasions when they were sick. They
always seemed to entertain the highest
respect and good will for me. l stopped
buying oranges from them because they
did not want to charge me anything for
fruit. The cause of the trouble be
tween us was a number of goats be-
longing to Frank Defatta, whose place
of business is almost next door to mine.
These goats would come up on my
porch at night and stamp around, rem

him that / would shoot them if he did
not keep them penned up.

two of them. | did not know that night
whether the shots had taken effect or
not Some of my friends told me i'm

Cato who now controls the telegraph
establishments of STEAMBOAT. The Ath-
ems Asty vouches for the authenticity
of the following incident: A Greek be-
neyolent society in the Turkish capital
recently issued printed circular ap-
peal to the Hellenic community in
Stamboul for some special charitable
object. The appeal contained a Cita-
tion from one of the epistles of st. Paul
to the Galatians. Two days after the
publication of the circular a commits
sary of police from the censor's depart
ment called upon the printer and de-
manded the address of st. Paul, who
was to be charged with the public ut
teranCe of seditious and politically
provocative language. The printer was
at first inclined to laugh outright at
the absurdity of the request and in
dictment, but as it is always a little
risky to venture upon pleasantly
with Turkish official. he sedately re-
piled that st. Paul, the author of the
Objectionable citation, had been dead
for something more than eighteen cen
turies This ruffied the gravity of the
police commissary, who angrily ex
claimed: How dare you attempt such
impudent aiolery with me?' and forth
with arrested the printer. EXtraordi-
nary as it may appear, the reiteration
of the same simple explanation to the
censor had an equally exasperating ef-
feet on that intelligent official, and the
unfortunate typographer was locked up
for his "preVerse contumacy.' 1t was
only after the lapse of three days and
on the urgent intervention and con-
firmatory explanation of the Greek
Patriarch. that the printer was released

FOR lMPERSONATING OFFICERS.
Woman Causes the Arrest of Two Men
Who Visited Her House.

warrant of arrest for impersonatng
an officer was issued from the police
court yesterday for Charles Maynard
and man named Seely, on complaint
of woman living at 217 South Arizona
street, who said Maynard and Seely
came to her house Monday evening, got
in by representing themselves to be
officers, and then created such a dis
turbance that she was compelled to
leave the house. Maynard and Seely,
when arrested, stated that there was
some work to be done at the Reveile
office, and Robert Pelkey, Seely's part
ner, was needed to assist. They learned
of his being at the woman's house and
went after him. The woman did not
want to let them in, and finally asked
If they We're officers. Seely replied that
he was an officer of a lodge, naming it,
and the woman admitted them. They
found PelkeY drunk and rebellious, and
when they tried to take him away there
was quite a scuff1e. This, they claim,
was all there was to the circumstance

ROBBERY IN DAYLIGHT
A Man Snatches Mrs. Snyder's
Purse, Containing S75.
RIGHT IN THE STREE 7
Mrs. Snyder Reports the Occurrenc ce
Promptly to the Police. but So Far
No Trace of the Robber Has
Been Found.

Mrs. A. L. Snyder, a lady living in
to the police yesterday of one of the
boldest robberies ever heard of in
Butte. She stated that purse contain
ing $15 was snatched from her hand in
quented streets Mrs. Snyder said she
noticed an advertisement of a sheriff's
sale in Maryland avenue, and thinking
she might make a profitable investment
or two, she took SIS and started for the
sale. The money was in a crocheted
purse which she carried in her hand
She did some shopping en- route and for
this reason walked
As she was passing an alley on the
way down Arizona street three men
stepped out of the alley in front of her.
Before she could divine their intentions
one of them snatched the purse from
her hand and all three ran up the alley
and disappeared before she recovered
from her surprise enough to make an
outcry. Mrs. Snyder reached police
headquarters about II o'clock. She said
the robbery had occurred only Is min
utes previous, and though the detec-
tiVes were at once put to work on the
case with a good description of the men
furnished by Mrs. Snyder, not a trace
of any Of them had been found
Mrs. Snyder said she felt sure she
could identify the man who rabbed the
purse if she were to see him. Hold-ups
are not infrequent in Butte, but any
thing so bold as this has not come to
the attention of the police in a very
long time.

From the New York Tribune
We had occasion to allude the other
day to the plan of certain Dutchmen
for a Publishers college, in which the
young idea is to be taught all the ins
and outs of bookmaking. Now 1t is
proposed by the Paris CerCle de la
Lihraire to establish school of book
sellers, The student will he grounded
in French literature; he will be trained
in one or two foreign languages, and
he will he instructed in practical book
production, commercial law and other
dark details. The observation of The
Acadcmy' is that We do not ourselves
see how man, equipped by this train
ing, Will sell book any better than
a man who has not" This is Just
criticism, but the projectors of the
school might aptly retOrt that they are
thinking not of the hOOk-buyer, but
of the bookseller. If that individual
is made to look at the business from
mere enlightened standpoint he is
bound to keep better shop; and while
he may not prove a more persuasive
salesman for his schooling, he will at
all events be more useful in certain
important ways. 1t might turn out
also. that his education would cultivate
his taste and make him more fastdious
as to the works he puts on sale. but
this, we imagine, would be too much to
hope for. Even the most brilliant
graduate Of the school of booksellers
viii open a shop in order to make his
fortune; and to expect that he would
go about making it with a rigid eX-
clusiOn of every popular and selling
book that did not satisfy his taste
would be to fly in the face of human
nature.

MUST REPORT TO HER.
A Young Woman Has Charge of Omaha's
Firemen and Policemen.
From the Omaha Bee.

From the Omaha Bee.
Over every telephone in Omaha, prob
ably, is posted this notice: In case of
fire call up 81" but few people, even
those who are in the habit of calling up
''37' in every case to learn wher. it is.
really understand what the young
woman who represents that number is
doing all the time. She is really a sort
of supervisor of fire and police, before
whom even the fire and police commits
sioners pale into insignificance She has
a long table off by herself in the east
end of the exchange room, and there
presides over the destinies of the city
and keeps tab on the policemen. On
this table are several ''tickers" in glass
cases, for all the world like those found
in boards of trade, and on these the
patrolmen make their marks every
hour when they turn in their number at
the patrol box. There is a whirring
noise in the glass case whenever they
do, and if the proper time passes and
the report is not made ''31' makes a
note of it.
1t is at such times that she issues
her orders to the police.
1t is this mysterious young woman
who is also responsible for the startling
sound of the gong, which rings out like
death knell in every fire station in
the city when a shanty down in The
bottoms catches fire. When a fire is
''rung in she reaches over and touches
a black button, somewhat after the
similitude of a telegrapher's key, and
at once a gong sounds in every station
and every office where a fire gong is To-
Gated. The same touch of the button
drops the chain from the front of the
horses in the fire department, and they
jump under the swinging harness.
Then, while the men are hitching, the
foreman goes to the phone By this
time '37'' has connected all the tele-
phone in the station in a bunch and
as the foreman of each stands with his
ear to the receiver she informs them
| individually and collectively where the
| fire is located. Then those who are far
! away unhitch their horses and turn
them back into their stalls, while the
girl who has made all the fuss puts hsr
| lips to the transmitter and begins tell
| ing over and over again to reporters
and other inquisitive people where the
| blaze is located.

who is in the city gathering statisti-
cal data for his office, is a relative of
the admiral. He is making a tour of
the Western states and on his travels
he is gathering some valuable and in
teresting data on his own accord. He
is publishing a book of the Deweys-a
huge genealogical tree. 1t will prob
ably be the largest book of the kind
ever published, containing something
like $1,000 names. In nearly every state
of the union have been found relatives
of the hero of Manila bay.
Mr.. Dewey has just published a book
of letters of George Dewey. he has re-
ceived word from the publishers in New
York that the book has just been fin
ished.
The Deweys of the United States
relatives of the admiral-will hold a
family reunion some time this winter"
said the statistician yesterday. This
will be a very interesting gathering. l
have received letter from the admiral
expressing his entire approval of the
plan. 1t was thought that the recep
tion or reunion could be better ar
ranged for the winter months, owing
to the fact that a large number of the
relatives are agriculturists and can
better spare the time in the winter than
in the harvest season."
Mr.. Dewey showed the reporter the
letter written by the admiral In the
letter he thanks the writer and the
other Deweys who are planning for
the big reunion, and promises to be in
attendance.
Mr.. Dewey will go to Anaconda
where he understands more of the
Dewey relatives live.
