THE BOSTON & MONTANA.

Boston Herald: A member of the Lor-
ing g-Montana protective committee re-
marks that "the affairs of this commit
tee remain In statu quo. In any consoll-
dation of Montana companies the proper
ties embraced should include beside the
Boston & Montana and the Butte & Bos-
ton, the Anaconda and Parrot, and |
have no doubt considerati ton is being
given to such a consolidation. Owing to
the mining laws which allow vein to be
followed to it's termination, I think it
quite possible that the Butte e Boston
people could make a case against the
Boston & Montana were they so inclined,
and a cOnsoida ton to be practically ef-
fectve should embrace all of the above
companies"

A SAD CASE.
A DOMESTIC WHOSE MIND IS BE
LITLVED TO BE AFFECTED.

According to story related at police
headquarters this morning, an Over-in-
dugence in the red liquor that made
Kentucky famous, is responsible for the
erratic actions of Katie Donovan, do
mestic, whose plferng escapades while
in the employ of Mrs. M. B. MacCartney
of No 16 North Washington street, were
made public by the police a few days
ago. After quitting the employ Of Mrs.
MacCartney, the latter and several
dodgers in the house missed a large guam
tity of wearing apparel, etc, and a later
investigation disclosed the fact that a
pocketbook containing sum of money
was also missing.
Suspicion was at once directed to the
discharged hired girl and visit was
made to the residence of Mrs. f. M. Clark,
with whom the girl had accepted a pO-
sltion. A demand was made to see the
contents of her trunk, but the girl re-
fused, and the services of a lOcksmith
were brought into requisition search
Of the trunk brought to light the
strangest assortment of stolen goods
ever seen together. Most of the stuff was
identified as having been stolen from her
former employer. Among other strange
things in the girls trunk was a juicy
porterhouse steak, which the thrifty do
mestic had purchased that morning and
had charged to her former mistress.
AS the girl showed some signs of con-
triton, the victims of her pecula tons de-
cided not to prosecute her, a kindness
which she is now repaying by methods
which will probably land her in the peni-
tentiary. Recently the girl has been
drinking so much that it is believed her
mind is affected. She was Tilted about
six months ago by lover and it is sup
posed that that has preyed upon her
mind. The police have been advised to
keep a watch on her movements.

Strong Enough to Hold.
MOTION FOR NON-SUIT MADE

MOTION FOR NON-SUIT MADE

James Lacey's lucky star is in the as
tendency, for in department No. 2 of the
district court this morning G. w. Taylor,
his attorney, secured his release from a
charge Of being one Of the three men
who held up the Reception and Fountain
road houses.
The release was secured through the
following motion, which, after it had
been read, was sustained by the court:
Comes now the defendant, by his at
torney, George w. Taylor, and moves the
court to advise the jury to return ver-
dict of acquittal upon the grounds that
the state has not proven facts sufficient
to constitute a cause Of action; that,
further, for the reason that the state has
failed to connect the defendant with the
commission of the alleged crime"
The motion was made at the close of
the testimony for the state, but had 1t
not been sustained the prosecution had
something up it's sleeve in the way of
rebuttal testimony, which the county at
torney said would have wrecked the
albi defense the prisoner calculated to
, submit.
In passing upon the motion, the judge
stated that although there We're circum-
stances tending to connect Lacey with
the crime, suspicion was one thing and
proof another. The prisoner had not
/ been identified.

| him by his voice." said Mr.. Connolly.
THAT is too feeble,' answered the
| judge.
The jury was then instructed to bring
in a verdict of not guilty and it did SO,
celebrating about ten minutes. In dis
charging the prisoner the judge said:
well, Mr.. Lacey, the jury, acting on
my instructions. has found you not
guilty, Notwithstanding the circum-
| stances against you are very suspicious.
You are fortunate in not having been
identified as one of the robbers. / hope
that in future you will be careful of your
! conduct and be a better man. You can
now go hence

LOOKED UPON AS LOTTERIES.
OmcinI Decision Condemns a Pair of
Endless-Chnin Letter
Propositions.

Washington, April 1.-The govern
ments policy toward the numerous
chain letter schemes that have flour
ished throughout the country in recent
years is brought out in two decisions
rendered Friday by Acting Assistant
Acknowledgement Harrison j. Barrett,
for the post Office department, holding
them in certain cases to be violations of
the lottery laws as dependent on
chance. One scheme officially declared
to be illegal was where trip to the
ParscXposition, with $500 for expenses,
was offered as Il prize. Each person en-
tering the contest is required to pay
30 cents, then send to friends two let
tiers, requesting them to send their
names to the original promoter and
send duplicate letters to two of their
friends, the operation to be repeated in
definitely. Each person writing to the
original promoter was to receive an Of
fer allowing him to start chain on his
own account on payment of 80 cents,
the trip and money gong to the one
whose chain brings out the largest
number of letters. The ostensible OBJ
jcct was to secure names for employ
ment ut the exposition.
The other enterprise barred offered
an eight-dollar kodak to the person
starting chain which runs to compile
ton, when operated in the following
manner: The starter was to send cards
to ten persons, each to pay the operator
instgating them ten cents. Each re-
cipient of card is requested in turn ~
send the operator ten cents, for which
he receives ten cards. These cards are
to be sent to ten other persons who are
in turn to send them in with ten cents
for ten other cards. II the ten cards
sent out by each of the ten persons adj
dressed by the starter of the scheme are
sent in to the promoter an eight-dollar
kodak is to be sent to the starter. All
this is declared to be dependent upon
chance and illegal under the ant-lot-
terry law.

The reXt morning John left for Flor
ida after tender parting from Flora
somewhat fearful on her part, it nIust
be confessed.
John being absent. il was necessary
for Justin to hire an extra man TO as
sist him. and. through Flora's aid. he
secured the services of young. good
looking German. The new hands
name. curious to relate. was John
Smith, Il fact which seemed strange to
Justin and was unwelcome to him.
Glow is it that you. who are Ger
man. should be named John smith,"
inquired the old farmer. you oughtto
call yourself johann Schmidt. or some
such name"
1T is easily explained" replied John,
with a twinkle in his eye. ~ was left
an orphan when but little child. and
the american farmer that brought me
up could not find out my real name. and
so he named me after himself John
Smith,"
"Well, suppose it's all right. But
! don't exactly like it that my hired man
| has the same name as that of my son.
You'll remind me of him too much, I'm
afraid"
But I don't look like your son nor
act like him, do II"
"If only you'll show yourself TO be a
smart fellow, I'll forgive you for hav-
ing an undesirable name"
| 1t was not long before Justin Smith
observed that his new hired man and
| Flora seemed to be more friendly than
is usual between the mistress of a
house and an employe, and at times the
old farmer felt little uneasy, but he
did not consider it worth his while to
warn Flora or demonstrate with her.
She would not give up such a fine, re-
spectacle young man as John.
But Flora, strange to say, soon
seemed to forget the claims of her first
lover and to be infatuated with the
| good-looking German, who, in his rude
way, could make himself quite agree
able.
The suspicious of Justin had finally
become well aroused, and Flora no
ticed that he was keeping close watch
over her. But, as luck would have it,
thieves had Of late twice visited Justin's
garden at the rear Of his house and
succeeded in securing number of his
best watermelons, and the farmer had
formed the habit of hiding for time
each evening in such places as would
enable him to see thief IL he should
enter the garden or were already in IL.
One evening Justin sought the gar
den, as usual, and to his delight saw a
man standing near the middle of it.

Who knows but what the tender word,
The handshake-or. perchance the kiss
Bestowed on yon poor shrinking soul.
May be the gentle benson that lifts
Its dimming eye to higher goal?
Who knows but what that timely act,
That gracious smile so freely given.
May prove to be the beacon light
That turns some sinful stumbling feet
Into the path that leads to right?

When we to our earthly end draw nigh,
Some kindly spirit may clasp our hand,
And, as we did to that weary soul.
