His delay in approving the findings of
the court martial and in ordering the

on the theory that he is yielding to
pressure brought to bear upon him by
powerful friends of Carter. That he

until popular Indignation has reached
white heat, Fresh interest in the case
was aroused by statement appearing
in the Chicago Times Herald and sent
out by the associated press, that the
counsel for Carter had preferred against
General Otis charges of perjury and
subordination of perjury. This story,
improbable on the face of it, the counsel
yesterday denied.

planned the method of ascertaining the
center of population somewhat as fol-
lows: Upon an imaginary board shaped
exactly like the map of the United
States, and having no weight, the pop
ulation is grouped in accordance with
the distribution shown by the census
returns. Each inhabitant is supposed
to have exactly the same weight. Then
the point at which the board balances

u LTHOUGH Labor day is the
youngest of the holidays it has
already acquired a dignity that
places it by the side of Christmas, the
Fourth of July, Memorial day and
Thanksgiving. 1t is observed in nearly
all of the states of the union, and in
most instances it is set for the first
Monday in September.

and it's dignity admired. With each
succeeding year Labor day is observed
more heartily and enthusiastically.
Business is suspended and all classes
of citizens join in making the day what
it properly should be, one of pastime
and pleasure and appropriate pageant.
The occasion is always free from an
archistic demonstrations, which usual
ly accompany the May day observances
in the nations of Europe. 1t is an
American holiday with all that the
name implies.
In Butte, the labor center of Mon
tana, the day will receive special rec
ognition, the celebration promises to
eclipse all former demonstrations. Butte
never does anything like this by halves.

Victor Hugo was entirely self-possessed.
He received the various deputies as they
presented themselves to him and tried to
tell them his name. A typewriter caught
his eye. He danced UP to it, mounted
stool and began to hammer the keys.
Some one tried to stop him, but he pout-
ed, "TH not come here and more if you
don't let me play it." He was not inter-

He found the interval between the ring

for his patience, so he requested Deputy
Sheriff Joe DAILY to stand by and do the
ringing for him.
After he had been in the Office about
half an hour and had made all the big

pretty little girls, several years older than

The amount out of which the govern

to convict Carter twenty times over,
and it was inconceivable that men of
the standing of General Otis and Colo

of perjury, especially in view of the fact
that the case of the prosecution was so
strong that perjury would have been
eminently superf1uous.

Sampson and Schley fight so in their

WANTED TO SEE NEW YORK.
Adventures of an Anaconda Girl in the
Metropolis.


Gussie Mizyse, an Anaconda girl, has
been arrested in New York on the
charge of incorrigibility She has been
living in New Haven, Conn, recently.
A paper of that city tells the story as
follows:
Her fondness for life in New York
caused Gussie Mizyse, IA years old. to
run away from her home on Pardee
street in this city yesterday morning,
but when night came she was footsore
and weary after her days travel in
New York and she sat down on a door
step at Thirty-ninth street and Lex
ington avenue and went to sleep. The
girl was found there by the police and
turned over to the care of the Gerry
society 1t is the second time the girl
has run away from home TO go to the
metropolis. She is the daughter of
Hungarians and her parents say she is
an incorrigible. Three weeks ago she
ran away from home with limited
amount of cash. She travelled to Mil
ford on the electric car and from there
she started to walk on the railroad
tracks to New York. A sympathetic
friend, to whom she related a tale of
hardship and cruelty, aided her by pur-
chasing a ticket that enabled her to
continue the journey to New York in
a passenger coach. The parents located
her and through the agents of the Ger
ry society, the girl was returned to her
home. The girl has been under close
surveillance since she was brought
back to her home, and her parents
watched her. fearing that she would
run away again. Under the pretense
that she was going to the home of
neighbor the girl slipped away from
her parents and went to New York on
the steamer Continental yesterday
morning.
An uncle of the girl called at the
Central police station this morning to
see what could be done to get the girl
back to New Haven. Superintendent
Wrinn furnished the girls relatives
with letter to the officials Of the Ger
ry society and the girl will be brought
| back to New Haven. The agents will

Novelties in the Census of 1900.

IF Director Merriam undertakes to
include the Filipinos in the census
next year there will be trouble on
his hands, or at least on the hands of
the census takers over there. OF Of
ficeholders it has been said that few die
and none resign. But that aphorism
was sprung before the job of census
taking in the Philippines came into
existence. If the attempt is made to
enumerate the population of the Phil
ippines next year, many Of the census
takers will die and many more will
resign. The safest plan will be to lump
the Filipinos off at eight or ten millions
and let them go at that.
If the Fiipinos are included in the

will make long jump to the south
