Of attempted murder and criminal

Journal man who had learned Of her

pleasant and comedy lady. and, while
not wishing to be interviewed did say
"a few things of interest ABOUT the case.
She has not been living with Mr..
Pierce for nearly a year on account of
his abuse of her. SO she alleges. and
since that time even to the time of his
arrest. he has searched for her unsuc-
cessfully.
Mrs Pierce told the reporter that she
was afraid of Pierce as he had made
threats to take her life. She was in
Lewiston but about two weeks ago for
a day or more. but managed to keep
her identity from Mr.. Pierce.
This is her vacation from the work
in which she is engaged in Boston.
The Lewiston friends of Mrs. Pierce
will remember that she worked for a
long time in the b. Peck establishment
where she was a most efficient clerk.
She was somewhat surprised to learn
that anyone knew Of her whereabouts
and refused to talk about Mr.. Pierce's al
legged crimes, as she said she did not
want to be mixed up In the anair II Il

Mr.. Pierce was in his right mind. she sad
she did not.

A Noted Cook.

Formerly appreclatlve recoSni-
ton of successful effort was abso-
lutely essential to the accomplished
cook. Some cooks were so sensitive
on this point that they could not do
Justice to themselves if it was with
held. The late Abraham Hayward
gives an instance of this in Felix, a
noted chef of his time. This artist
was in the employ of Lord Seaford,
who was obliged to dispense with
his services for economical reasons.
Some months afterward a distin-
guished connoisseur was dining with
Lord Seaford and before the first
course was half over he detected the
handiwork of Felix. He made in
quiry and was informed by his host
that the great chef was again in his
service. He had gone from him to
the Duke of Wellington. After a
brief experience with the latter he
had returned to Lord Seaford and
begged to be taken back at reduced
wages OF no wages at all, for he was
determined not to remain at Apsley
House. He confessed that the duke
was the kindest and most liberal OF
masters, but that when he served
him dinner that would have made
Ude or Francatelli burst with envy
the duke said nothing. When Felix

Anecdote Related byOne Of

Booth CHANGED to be in particu-
larly happy frame of mind-and he
was often cheerful and happy, ira
dition to the contrary notwithstand-

pipe, and he was arrayed in the cos
tune of Richelieu, with his feet
upon the table, submitting patiently
to the manipulations of his ward
robe or man dresser. After few
words of greeting the callboy knock
ed at the door and said that Mr..
Booth was wanted at a certain left

1t was the fourth act of the drama,
I remember, and the stage was set
as a garden, nothing of which was
visible from our position but the
flies and the back of the wings, and
we might have been placed in great
bare barn, so far as any scenic effect
was apparent.
Adrian, Baradas and the conspira-
tors were speaking, and at an onno-
site entrance, waiting for her cue,
was the Julie of the evening. She
was a good woman and an excellent
actress, but unfortunately not a per-
sonal favorite with the star, who
called my attention to the bismuth
with which she was covered and said
that if she got any of it on his
new scarlet cloak he would pinch
her black and blue, putting volumes
of smoke into my face as he spoke.
When the proper time came, he
rushed upon the stage, with a part
ing injunction not to let his pipe go

There was an advertising agent
at this Office this week for foreign
company, and good one, too. A
side remark which he made while
discussing rates with a Muskogee
Phoenix man shows that the press
men of the territory are getting to
point where press associations
of the states have really never
been able to get the newspaper
men of their associations. The
advertising man insisted that the
territory men were getting better
prices for their foreign advertising
than like class of papers in a
western state. All the resoluting
of press meetings do very little
good if the individual effort is
lacking. The solicitor also insist

The Arkansas legislature has re-
duced the price of the supreme
court reports to s73 for a complete
set of GA volumes. This informa-
ton will be important to many In
dian Territory attorneys. The re-
duction is just one-halt in price;
as they continue to come out the
price will be so volume.

TURNER FOR ROBERTS.

Brigham H. Roberts, Congress-
man-elect from Utah, was denied
admission to Congress Tuesday
by vote of 3o2 to 80, on the ground
that he was a polygamist, and a
committee appointed to investigate
charges against him. He disproved
the charges that he was an alien by
presenting his naturalization papers,
and denied that he was guilty of
violating the anti-polygamy law,
had never been charged, arrested,
or convicted of that or any other
offense. The case is one without
precedent, as Roberts is held to be
guilty on mere assertion and de-
MED his seat till proven innocent.
Among those who voted against the
resolution was Congressman Tur-
ner, of this district, who denies the
right of Congress to exclude men,
bers-elect OH mere charges. He
contended Roberts should be adj
mitted, the charges taken up, and
if he be guilty, then expel him.
