ISSUED BAD PAPER.
ALEX MCLAUGHLIN ARRESTED
FOR OBTAINING lone
UNDER FALSE PRE-
LENSES.

Alex Mclaughlin is in the county Jail
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses. Later he may be
charged with forgery. At any rate he
will nave plenty of time during his incar-
grafton in the bastile to philosopher
on the propriety OF teaching men whose
bump of caution is abnormally small, the
science of penmanship.
Last night Mclaughlin wrote out a
number of checks. to some of which he
appended his own signature and to others
the signature of his brother, j. NJ. Nc
Laughlin. a plumber, who conducts a
business in the city. but who is at pres
ent in Salt Lake City. The checks were
all drawn on the State Savings bank,
and made a total Of $40. Mclaughlin ex-
perienced no difficulty in getting these
checks cashed at the Santiago saloon.
This morning, when the checks We're pre-
scented at the bank for payment the pro-
prietor Of the saloon was informed that
the McLaughlins had no funds at the
bank. The city detectives were at once
hunted up and the case placed in their
hands. About II o'clock Mclaughlin was
arrested in his room in the Curtis block.

COPPER PROSPECTS.

The copper prospects of the Black Hills
are today attracting as much attention
as the Anaconda mines. says the Boston
News Bureau. Recent prospecting in the
hills has shown them to be full of promis-
Ing copper veins. New discoveries are be-
ing made weekly. and some Of them are
very rich. 1t is nothing unusual to find
copper mines where the copper is 25 per
cent pure. The famous Anaconda mines
are less than 6 per cent so this indicates
the value of the Black Hills mines. Some
districts report solid blocks of copper
thrown up by volcanic forces which will
average 10 per cent. There seems to be
three distinct copper-bearing belts Of ore
running north and south nearly the en-
tire length Of the hills. The ore bodies
are very wide, and there is no question
of them being vertical. These copper
prospects are almost always accompanied
by gold lodges which run about $40 to
the ton. Custer county will soon have
three producing mines.

OUTWITTED THE LUNATIC.

The Lancet: Whilst residing at Rome
/ paid a visit to the lunatic asylum there,
and among the more remarkable patients
one was pointed out to me who had been
saved with much difficulty from infict-
ing death upon himself by voluntary
starvation in bed, under the impression
that he was defunct, declaring that dead
people never eat. 1t was soon obvious to
all that the issue must be fatal, when
the humane doctor bethought Of the fol-
lowing stratagem: Half a dozen of the
attendants, dressed in white shrouds,
and their faces and hands covered with
chalk, We're marched in single file, with
dead silence, into a room adjoining that
of the patient, where he observed them,
through a door purposely left open. sit
down to a hearty meal. "Hallo!" said the
would-be corpse to an attendant, who be
they?" Dead men," was the reply.
What" rejoined the defunct, do dead
men eat?" ITO be sure they do, as you
see,'' answered the attendant. If that's
the case" exclaimed the dead man, I'll
join them, for I'm famished."

MONEY FOR THE NEEDY
In Denmark Carried Away By One to
Whom It Was Entrusted
For Delivery.

According to a story related by Nelson
kier to Cornelius Kelly today, Louis
Skoback is evidently opposed to sending
good. hard money outside of either Butte
or the United States-he favors the in
dividual as a common carrier. kier told
the public prosecutor that a few days ago
the Danish population of Butte. who are
all good citizens, subscribed $57 towards
the amelioration of the condition of their
brother workmen in their native country,
now on a strike, and placed it in
Skoback's hands with instructions to for
ward it to Denmark. Yesterday morn
ing, SO kier alleges, Skoback jumped the
town with the money and is now pre-
sumably out Of the state. A warrant
charging Skoback with grand larceny
was issued and an attempt will be made
to locate the alleged absconder.

NOT NOW so ENTHUSIASTIC
Columbia VIII Not Have an Easy
Thing With Defender.

Newport, R. l., June 2.-The yachts
men who saw the brushes between the
new slooI, yacht Columbia and the De-
fender, the champion of 1895, to-day, are
not so enthusiastic tonight over the
speed cf the new boat as they were after
the short skirmish off jamestown on Sun
day o fternoon.
THIS afternoon the try-out revealed the
fact that the Columbia, in her present
cond ltlon, is not going to have an easy
time with the old boat when they get
toge ther on the measured course and
witt a stiff breeze blowing.
Y achtsmen and others, however, need
no worry about the Columbia's speed,
fc r she is a very fast craft, and the tun-
ing up she will get between now and Oc-
tober will certainly make her a fit boat
to meet the British challenger Sham
rock under any circumstances.
This afternoons skirmish was started
on equal terms, with a strong breeze blow
ing from the southwest, a smooth sea, and
no yachts to bether eother boat
The Defender had the right of way on
the Columbia, and had she not relin-
duished this to serve as an Illustration Of
how close the two boats were to each 9TH
err Capt Rhodes yacht would have been
opposite the Columbia just about midships.
A few seconds before, however the Column
bia parted her topsail and seeing this the
Defender eased up and the race was over.

There is a fine old masculine prejudice
that women, as a class, are stingy. The
whole question hangs closely on to the
power of earning money, and the woman
who makes her own life and her own liv
ing is rarely guilty Of the vice of pars
mony. The horrors of rigid domestic
economy are usually practeed by wives
to whom a weekly dole for housekeeping
is handed out; women who, not possess
ing penny of their own and having no
pin money settled upon them at marriage,
are tempted to pinch and scrape in order
to put something by for themselves.
The woman who earns, on the other
hand, especially one who earns on large
scale, is more often than not open-handed
to a fault. The case of a novelist-the
late Mrs. Oliphant-is one in point This
courageous pen woman lived always on
the fat Of the land Travelled en- prncesse,
sent her sons to Eton and to Oxford and
practiced all the amenities of life. AL
though a good Scotswoman, we are told
by writer I'm Blackwood that "she hated
small economies To travel expensive was
her way She never would travel sec
ond-class. She had none Of what she calls
the faculty of economics 10 her She
stayed at the very best and most ex-
pensive hotels; she dressed in the richest
OF silks and satins."
Mrs. Oliphant In short though trife
daring In her expenditure is good type
Of the open-handed working There
are at least two famous English author
esses to-day who live-and entirely by their
own exertion- like the wives of peers.
They have town and country mansions;
they go to Italy, to Egypt, to Japan, when
the fancy takes them; they drive the most
snowy horses; then entertain like South
African millionaiFes. To think of them
as mean is 10 imagine an impossbility.
They earn large sums and they are at
considerable pains TO spend them as quick
ly and as Joyously as may be.
1t is the same with actresses and sing
ers. The princeiy Inequalities of GER

Very little change has occurred In the
precedent weather conditions during the
past two weeks. While there have been
some scattered showers doing much good,
where they fell. there are many counties
in which the drought continues, and crops
of all kinds are showing the IN effects.
Lowsand crops are heading out pretty we'll
but upland crops are badly damaged.
Cotton has not suffered materially as
yet, and is now taking to bloom.
Corn is silking, but as a rule is very
small on account of the dry weather.
The threshng of small grain is nearing
completion and the fields are only fair as a
rule.
Rice is doing moderately WELL but sugar
cane has suffered considerably.
Water melons are being shipped In
some sections this crop Is good, while in
others 1t is much below the average.
Blackberries have been cut short by con-
tinued dry weather. Pastures have failed
in some sections, and stock water is very
low General rains would be very bene-
fetal to an growing vegetation.

Saturday was a gala day in Cienfuegos
and many of the people INDUCED in drink

The Spaniard VINO was killed was entirely
innocent of any participation. He was
driving near by with his children and was
struck by a stray shot fired by some per-
son unknown as yet. Judge Advocate
Carbough is making a thorough inquiry.
The TWO men who were the original
cause of the trouble viii be dismissed
when their punishment is over, and will be
deporIed from the Island.
Senior Pablos Santa Maria, the wealthy
Spanish planter who was wounded, died
the same night and was buried to-day.
His funeral was largely attended. The
people are naturally indignant, but they
are quiet"
