A FACTORY GIRL PoRTIA.
Unable to Get a Lawyer, She Wins
Her Own Case,


TROY. n. Y, Nov. Lillian Tracey
pleaded her own case in court yesterday
and won her suit against the greatest
odds. She is employed in a collar factory
in Lansingburg, a suburb Of Troy. and
was charged with slandering a shopmate
Miss Irene Riley.
The case was called before Justice Hear
mann and a jury. Miss Tracey had en-
ployed Attorney Calvin E. Reach, an ad-
vccate of free silver. He arose from n
sick bed to defend the girl, but Illness com
PEELED him to leave court. His request for
an adjournment was denied. Miss Tracey
left the room to find another attorney to
take her case, but did not succeed. She re-
turned to the court room and said: II
cannot get lawyer. I will plead my own
case"
There was not tremor in her voice as
she said this. Some persons in the crowd
ed court room smiled at her self-confi-
dence. Miss Tracey called her father to
the witness stand. He testified more in
favor of Miss Riley than Of his daughter.
He was the cause of the dispute between
the girls, his sympathies being with Miss
Riley. Miss Tracey cross-examined him
creditably, surprising the judge and the
lawyers present. She called a number of
witnesses and placed before the jury such
a mass of evidence as promptly brought
in a verdict of mot guilty.

NEW YORK, Nov. dora Fein
eighteen years old. daughter Of the Rev
Joseph Fein, Rabbi of the Pike Street
Synagogue, is critically i'll at her home as
the result Of an experience with two burg
lars. Rabbi Fein. his wife and two daugh-
tiers live on the third floor of No. SO Pike
Street. The Rabbi officiated as usual las;
Saturday afternoon at the synagogue, while
the women of the family except Dora paid
visit to the family in the adjoining fiat.
Rabbi Fein returned home at p. m. and
found the door of his fat locked. Dora
took the keys from me three hours ago and
must be in the fat" explained Mrs. Fein,
when summoned to the hallway by her hus-
bands hammering on the locked door, The
alarmed rabbi finally broke in the door and
found Dora on the floor.
The girl was unconscious. Blood oozed
from the lobe Of each ear FROM which dia-
mond earrings had been wrenched Marks
on her throat showed that she had been
choked
Clothing and bric-a-b brac lay in heaps on
the floor and the drawers of bureaus and
tables were open. The place had been ran
sacked by thieves in search Of booty. They
had found none. except the ornaments worn
by the girl.
The girl was unconscious all of Monday.
She was conscious yesterday, but unable to
tell a coherent story. When asked who had
attacked her she said: There were two Of
them" By questioning the members of the
family learned that both men were mid
dle-aged and roughly clad.

PENN YAM. N. Y, Nov. IA great re-
ligious wave has swept over Penn Yam and
adjacent towns and villages. The religious
fervor started a week ago. when Evangelist
Giel held a monster meeting in the Yates
Lyceum and for three hours talked to an
audience that packed the house-nearly all
men.
This was followed by daily meetings in
every hall in Penn Yam. Seventeen open
air meetings were held besides. All were
in progress at the same time. So intense
grew the religious enthusiasm that last
Thursday was proclaimed fast day, and
the entire population Of Penn Yam devoted
the day to fasting and prayer. The fifty
saloons and hotel bars were closed in OBJ
servance of the day. The meetings are
still being held and thousand converts
have been made.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Ralph Identified the Wrong Man as the
Purchaser of the Revolver.

In connection with the case of George
NJ. Roe, charged in the United States
court with the robbery of the postoffice at
Warm Springs last January, and whose
trial resulted in his acquittal yesterday,
a remarkable circumstance of mistaken
identity came to the surface after the
trial. 1t appears that at the preliminary
hearing of Roe before the commissioner
at Anaconda, just after he was arrested
and brought back from Nebraska, one B.
h. Ralph appeared as a witness against
Roe, Ralph has been employed in a
hardware store in Anaconda. At the pre-
liminary examination he testified that on
the Thursday before the hoIdup at Warm
Springs he sold the defendant Roe a pis-
toll; that he identified Roe as the man to
whom he sold the pistol and that he had
gone into the Jail at Anaconda and out
of a number Of prisoners at once identi-
fled Roe as the man.
On the trial, which ended Yesterday,
Ralph did not appear as a witness. and it
now transpires that shortly after the pre-
lmtnary examination at Anaconda the
wife OF the man who had really bought
the pistol, and who was not Roe, return
ed the pistol to the store and sold it back
TO Ralph, and the next day the man him
self came into the store and inquired If
his wife had returned the pistol. This
man was an entirely different man from
Roe. hence Ralph did not testify on the
final trial.

Bozeman, Sept. 29.-The Presbyterian
synod commenced to-day with the pres
byteries of Helena, Butte and Great Falls.
in which three presbyteries the state is
divided. The Great Falls presbytery has
just completed its synod, but is here as
the guest of the Helena and Butte pres
byteries. The business session of the
presbyteries of Helena and Butte COM
menced this morning and this evening the
opening address of the synod was made
by Rev. w. M. Hays of Missoula. To-
morrow will be devoted to synodical bus
mess. On Sunday the visiting clergy will
offciate at the various churches in the
city and on Monday, after the business
of the synod is completed, a reception
will be given at the home of General and
Mrs. Wilson.
H. NJ. Wagner of Terry was licensed to
preach to-day after examination.
The following are the ministers and lay

and their friends, and as the mill was ad-
mirably conducted, without any of the
offensive characteristics of the ordinary
pugilistic affairs. the crowd enjoyed a
good evening of sport
A lively preliminary between Jack Liv-
ingston and Charles Lee warmed the
crowd up for the main event, which was
announced as 20-round contest.
The principals entered the ring at $3.50.
Hayes looked considerably the heavier
and stronger. Without any unnecessary
delay the gloves were donned and time
was called. The men mixed from the start
and Flynn displayed by far the greatest
science, landing a series of heavy swings.
which gave him decidedly the best of
the round.
Flynn was the aggreSsor again in the
second round, and while his greater clev-
erness enabled him TO land and avoid
punishment he fought like farmer,
using no judgment whatever, and the re-
suit was that while he had all the best
of the fighting. the end of the round saw
him weak and his strength much spent.
In the third he had Hayes done for. but
he had lost all his steam. Hayes stood in
a corner unable to defend himself and
Flynn pelted away at him, but his blows
had no weight and did no damage. Hayes
ability to stand punishment saved him
and he came up the fresher of the two
in the third round. After some hard ex-
changes. which again weakened both, the
men got in a corner again and at one
time 1t looked like Flyhn's match. but he
was getting weak so fast that he fell on
the ropes, exhausted as much from his
own exertions as from Hayes blows.
The call of time saved him.
The fourth opened with hot exchange.
in which Flynn was foored. AS the ref
cree counted nine. and while F'lynn's
hands were still on the floor. HAYES
swung on his head sending him down
again just as time was called.
Flynn and his seconds claimed foul
and refused to go on in the fifth. AS
both men had failed to observe the agree
ment to break clean and Flynn had fouled
repeatedly, no foul was allowed and the
match went to Hayes.

CLEAR AS A BELL.
Telephone Connection Between Butte and
Salt Lake.


A reporter of the Standard had the
privilege yesterday of talking with Judge
Goodwin of the Salt Lake Tribune over
4S4 miles of telephone wire. The Standard
man was called to the phone by A. G.
Miller the popular resident manager, and
soon General Manager Sommers from the
Salt Lake office gave the information that
Judge Goodwin was at hand to express
the courteses due the occasion. In the
conversation which ensued between the
Standard reporter and the distinguished
journalist, who, iii Montana, is probably
more highly esteemed than any other
man in the newspaper profession, every
word uttered by the judge could be heard
as distinctly as though the conversation
were taking place in the same room in
stead of from widely separated cities. The
judge expressed his qualification that
there was yet another connecting link
established between the Rocky Mountain
states. and in honor of the event he and
the Standard representative adjourned to
the nearest saloons in their respective
cities and drank to each others health
and the enterprise which has established
telephone communication between the
great cities of Utah and Montana.

r. H. Paxson of the committee on red
fire reported that / 900 to 1900 pounds
be burned at any points desired. The
drug stores of the town had contributed
LOO pounds of red fire.
Harry Ayrshire of the committee on
bonfires said the bonfires would be
built.
Mr.. Mantle reported for the commit
tee on medals of honor that the medals
have been completed and will be here
in ample time. Medals have also been
ordered for the rough riders. Mr.. Man.
tie asked that the money for the rough
rider badges be guaranteed by some one
present. The state would undoubtedly
reimburse for these medals. James III.
Lynch of the Silver Bow National bank
consented to advance the money
needed
Major Lloyd said he could not tell
how many rough riders would be on
hand, but he had responses from some
of the captains
In regard to souvenir badges, Mr..
Mantle showed several very pretty
samples. He hoped to interest the la
dies in making them UP. If the ladies
would make up the badges they could
be furnished at n cost of IL cents apiece,
which would be The cost of material A
badge was adopted, composed of white
silk with gold fringe and a miniature
flag at the top. On the badge will be
printed a fac smile of the medal of
honor to be given the soldiers. Mr..
Mantle said there would be no cost for
printing The ladies of the community
will be asked to volunteer to make up
the badges.
A proposition was received from s.
S. Klein for the printing of the official
programme. He would guarantee the
profit of 500 to the committee and
would give one-third of the profits to
the committee.
7. E. Butler made proposition to
guarantee the committee 5000 and
would give one-half the net receipts to
the committee. The offer of Mr.. Butler
was accepted.
The following committee was appoint
