The Professors Prize,

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Not many evenings ago one of Adelbert's
popular professors attended social func-
ton where the guests played progressive
pedro, game in which the worthy edu-
Gator lays no claim to being an expert
In fact. on the present occasion he was
credited with but two progressons a
score of really astonishing smallness
Naturally. what Is really termed the
"booby prize fell to him, and this time
it took the form of double yolk egg with
the following sarcastic legend attached:
Something you can beat
The professor smilingly accepted the
award, and after it was passed around
and joked upon, he finally slipped 1t into
the side pocket of his overcoat and then
straightway forgot its existence.
When the party broke up he accompa-
MED two young ladies to their home
When they reached the house and the
latchkey was produced and used it was
found that the front door was stuck so
tightly that it refused to yield to ordinary
pressure. So the professor put his hip
against a panel and pushed hard.
There was a dull crash, a mild yell. the
professor leaped in the air and convul-
sively clutched at his side
The double yok egg had exploded.
A moment later the afflicted educator
gingerly drew from his pocket a pair of
exceedingly yellow gloves, followed by a
muller of the same guady tint. And the
ladies leaned against the railing and
laughed until they cried.
OF course they promised not TO tell, but
in some unf.thomed way the story-like
the egg-has1eaked out.

A Row in Chinatown

There was quite an excitement in
Chinatown last night, in which a gun
and knife figured in a clash between
Hum Gee, a Chinaman, and a gang of
boys. The police We're unable to get at
the exact facts, unless the statement
of the Chinaman was the correct one.
He said the boys tried to hold him up,
but they denied it and claimed the
Chinaman was to blame. When the po-
lice arrived the gang were giving Hum
Gee much the worst of it and he had
been cut twice, though not seriously.
He said that when attacked he pulled
a gun. but he was overpowered before
he could use it. Five young fellows,
giving the names of James Murray
Percy Scholar. Robert McAlpin, John
O'Brien and William Arnold, We're ar
rested and are being held on charges
of vagrancy till the police can get at
the bottom of the affair.

A Bold Theft.

Last night about 10 o'clock three men
With team of horses and heavy wagon
stopped in the rear of j. II. Gettings' resi-
dence, 416 West Broadway, and helped
themselves with about 500 pounds of coal
belonging to Mr.. Gettings. In order to get
to the coal they had to pry open the door,
which was fastened by nails. Mr.. Probst
the next-door neighbor heard the racket
when they were opening the door and
went back to see what was going on. One
Of the men told him Mr. Jeffries sent him
up to clean the closet. While they were
stealing the coal they had a lantern in
the closet, so that if anyone came on
them the lantern would throw him off
Mr.. Probst says he believes he would
recognize the men if he saw them again

Baseball Meeting.

The Butte Star baseball club held a
meeting last night for the purpose of
organizing a team for the coming sea-
son. Captain Merkle has been negoti-
ating with Pitcher Perron of the Pacific
coast, who won such great fame in 80
at San Francisco. He will be with the
team about the first of June, and great
things are expected of him. Murphy of
the Northwestern league will don the
mask for the Stars, and many other
notable players will be with the team,
whose names will be mentioned after

motion is overruled. but the suggestion
I would make to the council is that one
of these cases be taken by appeal to the
supreme court and there tested, and
that In the other cases a stipulation be
entered into between the city and the
counsel for the respective plaintiffs,
that the decision in the case appealed
shan apply to and govern all the other
cases, the principle of law in each case
being exactly the same, and that is,
whether under the constitution of the
state the city is liable for damages in
establishing grade of a street in the
city for the first time. In these sever
al cases if the city is liable at all I do
not think the award Of damages excess
sive, and the point turns upon the con-
stitutional principle as to the liability
of the city, the statute and the con-
stitutional provision being apparently
in conflict.
In addition to the foregoing cases
I have entered my appearance at attor-
ney for the city in the case
brought by the county Of Silver Bow
for the condemnation of the alleyway,
together with other property in block
16 of the city of Butte. The commits
sioners in the proceeding awarded ST.
500 as the assessed valuation of the al
leyway lying west of the court house
have filed notice in the district court,
claiming this $1,000 as belonging to the
city,
Judge DeWolfe was directed by the
council to carry out his suggestions
with regard to appealing the cases the
city lost.
Judge DeWolfe expects the city to be
made defendant in big suit for dam
ages very shortly. The claim of Mary
j. Williams for damages to the amount
of $4,000 for the alleged killing Of her
husband by the hook and ladder truck
of the fire department. which was re-
jected by the council Wednesday even
ing, is expected to go now to the courts
in suit for damages
Aldermen Moves, Ferns and Kelley of
the sewer committee and City Engines r
Bickenbach made quite a journey I'M
foreground Wednesday. inspecting the
main storm sewers. They started in at
the head of the storm sewer on Main
street and traversed the sewer down
Main to Iron. thence over to Wyoming
and up Wyoming to Woolman. They
found the sewer in excellent condition,
with the exception of a few spots,
which were ordered repaired under the
direction of the city engineer.

ways asked if he read and write and his answer
is registered The latest reports show that forty per
cent. of the youths who raised by the conscrp-
ton totally terate. AS vast number more
males than females able to read in Russia and as
it is rare to find an aged peasant who read and
write, it may be accepted fact that probably not
twenty per cent of the entire population of the
pire has obtained the first rudimcnts Of this knowl-
edge Probably the central provinces the most
backward. There over 10000 villages in Russia
where no school exists It is calculated that by dis
banding 100000 of his huge army, the car
would have funds at his disposal for building 10 900
schools and 10000 village schoomasters' houses,
and would have million pounds sterling over for
