''The Modern Man and Maid" BY sa-
rah Grand. Crowell & Co, New York.
As all the world loves a lover, so all
the world may be trusted to feel an in
terest in the questions of marriage. It
is to be feared that numerous good
people who are candidates for heaven
viii find their environment dull when
they get there, on account of it's lack
of matrimonial diversion. If there is
one thing more than another that
Nine. Grand has qualified herself to
speak on, il is love and marriage and
kindred topics, and the reader who
takes up this daintily bound little book
will find her discoursing with good
sense and unflagglng spirit on these
themes.
There are four charters devoted to d
survey of the modern girl, the modern
young man, the choice of a wife and
the choice Of q husband respectively

her request was refused on the ground
that the granting of it would tend to
lessen the severity of Capt. Dreyfus'

about another anti-Semitic outbreak.

only people she has seen outside the
members of her own family have been
her legal adviser, NJ Bernard Lazare,
and others who have been striving with
might and main to obtain respect for
the principles of 1889. Having mention
ed the name of M. Bernard Lazare
cannot refrain from calling to mind the
circumstances under which, two years
ago, he came to demonstrate the posi-
bllfty of an error having been COM
mltted. That brilliant young lawyer
and litterateur, the first of the revis-
lonists, told me in one Of our conversa-
lions on the Dreyfus case, that he was
led to study its details at first throueh
mere curiosity. Par ticularly struck
with the obscurity of certain points and
the remarkable resemblance which the
case bore to other cases of judicial err
ror in which the condemned men had
been Jews, he came to examine it with
still more care. Then remembering that
when boy he hal been friendly with
Capt. Dreyfus' brother-in-law, he re-
newed the acquaintanceship, soon to
become convinced that the trial of 1894
had been a mockery When put into
communication with M. Matthew Drey-
rus and Nine. Dreyfus, his opinion was
confirmed and he at once commenced
to make known his discoveries by
means of books and pamphlets.

a winter. From there they will make their
way to the extreme northwestern part of
the northern coast of Ellesmereland,
where they will build hut and establish
headquarters for the winter
While open water lasts they will ex-
plore the northern shore by boat in search
of the supposed channel leading to the sea
known to exist to the west of Eflesmere-
land. Next spring they propose to con-
tinue the exploration of the northern and
western shore on the ice and trace the
coast down to Cape Eden. the extreme
known southern portion. thus completing
the present knowledge of the coast line.
They will then return TO Cape Sabine and
hope to be picked up there by the steamer
next summer.
If for any reason they fail to connect
cross the straits Of Littleton Island and
make his way along the Greenland coast
TO the Eskimo settlement which
formed the scene of his last exploration.
With the assistance of the natives the
party will be able to find their way TO

Mr. and Mrs. Crosby separated last JAN
uary Previous to the separation Crosby
had transferred to his wife stock in the
Crosby Paper Mills and the Marion
Strawboard Mills, which are both owned
by him, that he might better fight the
American strawboard trust. After de-
feating the trust he demanded the re-
turn of his stock, but his wife refused
to surrender 1t.
He visited his wife's home to-day while
she and her six children were eating din
ner and again demanded the stock. She
refused and he pointed a revolver at her
and pulled the trigger. The cartridge
failed to explode and he tried the second.
Mrs Crosby ran from the house. Her
son attempted to strike his father with
a chair and the father attempted to shoot
him, but the revolver ag;siif fssdled to go
off The son secured two revolyers and
pursued his father down the street, but
was caught and held by neighbor.
Crosby was arrested and given a pre-

led out to the buggy Burt was the
coolest man in the crowd. Jones lost
no time in getting his prisoner away
| from the excited residents.
While the attention of most 90 the
crowd was attracted toward the assail-
ant, Olsen was not neglected. Imme-
diately after the shooting he was car
| ried to his home, about forty yards
/ down the street. and as soon as the
telephone could be reached DR.. w. S.
Makemson of Rio Vista was summon
ed. He arrived shortly after noon.
Everything possible was done to relieve
the unfortunate man and an operation
failed to locate the bullet in his body.
DR.. Makemson says there are but slight
chances for Mr.. Olsen's recovery, the
principal danger being that blood pois-
on.ng will result from the body wound.
Peter Olsen has been a resident of
Birds Landing and vicinity for the past
fifteen years and stands well in the
community. He has a wife and two
children, a girl eight years of age and
boy of four.
Shortlv after being placed in the
County Jail, Burtt was seen by The
Call correspondent. He refused to make
any statement in regard to the shoot
ing. his only reference to it being that
it was done in self-defense. He said
his full name was Harry H. Burtt. that
he was a native of Anderson, Shasta
County, where his parents resided. and
that he was thirty-one years of age.
Burtt is a married man. He refused
to have his photograph taken, saying
he did not wish to have any additional
notoriety. He is a person of slight
build, blonde hair and mustache, is five
feet six inches in height and weighs
135 pounds. His complexion is very sal
low and he has the appearance OF be-
ing addicted to the use of opium.
After his arrival in Suisun Officer
Jones gave additional facts in regard to
the man. He said that during the two
hours ride together Burt had little to
say about the shooting or the causes
that led up to it. In regard to his past
history, he seemed somewhat communt-
cative. and told of having been arrested
in Stockton on charge of forgery
committed in Woodland. He also spoke
of having had some trouble in Sonora
while conducting a saloon in that town.
but would not give any details. He re-
marked to the officer while on the way
to the Jail:
You acted very funny. Jones, to
come into the store without pistol
in your hand"
Jones answered: "I did not need
pistol TO take a little fellow like you,"
Whereupon Burtt remarked:
II am a dead shot and can hit the
size of mans eye at twenty yards"
Jones says that Burtt is a person Of
remarkable nerve and displayed a cool
ness at the time of the arrest that was
remarkable. He asked to have the
handouts removed and the pistol re-
turned to him before leaving Birds

treacherous waters of the Yukon about
two weeks ago. Through the wrecking
of a scow on which they were journey
ing to Dawson eleven prospectors found
a grave In the waters of the northern
river
The story of the casualty was told by
arrivals from Atlin. They say that on
or about July s, a party of eleven. after
a short stay in the almost barren gold
fields of the Atlin District of British
Columbia left for Dawson on hastily
thrown together scow. All went we'll
until Taku Arm was reached. and here
the strong winds which continually
sweep across the waters, drove the scow
on rock. 1t broke up in an incredibly
short time, and the eleven men were
thrown into the water.
Their struggles to reach the shore
were futile, for the fast running cur
rent swept them from the rocks. None
reached the land, the whole party find
ing death OF the dead gold seekers the

remainder were unknown. Those
