WELCOME DISCARDED.

Today the supreme court of Montana
disbarred John B. Welcome. AS the out
come of the late trial before that body,
MI. Welcome will be no longer allowed
to practice law in this state. In the opin-
ion of the supreme court, he is guilty Of
conduct unbecoming an. attorney, and
must suffer the penalty of disbarment.
The verdict is equivalent to an affirma-
ton of the charge that bribery was re-
sorted to in the senatorial contest before
the sixth legislative assembly.
There can be no question as to the
t~horoushness and fairness with which the
supreme court has dealt with this case.
and its decision will be accepted by the
people as a conclusion intelligently and
honestly drawn. In possession of all the
details from which it was necessary to
determine the question of right and
wrong. that honorable body was in a DO
sition to render a verdict consistent with
the facts.
When Mr.. Welcome refused to testify

charges that had been preferred against
him. it was the belief of many that he had
contributed more to his own undoing
than all the testimony that was placed
in evidence by the prosecution. BY that
course he ripdned the public mind to an
anticipation of the verdict RENDERED. and
a Very general endorsement of the find
anSs of the court. When the man who
was chiefly concerned in the outcome of
the trial waived his opportunity TO go on
the witness stand in his own behalf, he
invited a beiief in the accusations made
against him. 1t necessarily follows that
few even among his most intimate friends. !
Will find it possible to conscientiously
eliticise the court for the action it has
seen fit to take.
Inc decision must be accepted as a f.
nality. and as a judicial Affirmation Of
the specific charges of bribery set forth
in evidence. 1t logically follows. that
criminal prosecutions should be promptly
undertaken and vigorously pushed. The
public will demand this, and will be sat-
listed with nothing less. In saying that
Mr.. Welcome was a bribe-giver the courts
nave made it clear that there were bribe-
takers. Let the majesty of the law as
sert itself. like a Nemesis on the trail
OF vice.
W neither corruption exists among tho
friends of Mr.. Welcome, or among his
enemies. it should be Terrified out and
the rod of justice unhinchingly applied. !
1t is too much to assume that all of
virtue or all of vice is the special pre-
losative of either wing of the democratic
party, which is now embellishinn tho
Judicial literature of the state throuah
actions brought before our courts. 7, is
4ulle likely, therefore,, that the verdict in
the Welcome case will be properly con-
strued as a blow to the corrupt use of

THE PLATFORM WOMAN.
Been a Blot Upon American
Womanhood.

The platform woman never has been
a credit to, but ever blot upon, Amer
lean womanhood. I make this emphat-
ic statement from a personal knowl-
edge of the homes which these women
leave behind when they go to their
meetings, writes Edward Box, in La
dies Home journal. I have seen the
rooms of their homes left in wild dis
order; I have seen their servants sit
ting in idleness with work on every
hand to do; have seen the children
neglected and left to their own devices;
have heard husbands speak in derison
of the motives of their wives. No wom-
an in happy American home can ever
afford to listen to these parasites of
her sex. Fortunately, the platform
woman's influence is steadily on the
wane. She was never a power. She was
never even picturesque. Her worst in
jury was wrought upon certain weak
women who for the time she deluded.
But even with them she'wa soon re-
garded with wonder rather than with
interest; with suspicion rather than
with confidence. Less and less has she
been able to get listeners, and it is sig
nificant that1in places where she has
spoken during the present season she
has not been seen again. The disap-
pearance of the platform woman is a
case of blot being blotted out.

THE CITY OF NEWSPAPERS.
Hundred Of Them and More Are
Coming to the Front.

Paris publishes new newspaper at
every fresh sensation. The population
of the city of Paris at the last census
was 100000, and, according to the re-
Gently published Presse Annuaire for
1899, the newspapers Of the city now
number 1857.
There are in Paris at present 40 daily
political newspapers, but how many
there will be next week or how many
the week after is practically impos-
sible to state. If public occasion de-
manded there might be another dozen.
Of the political organs in existence 81
come under the category of republic
an, 80 are conservative and ID are So
cialst.
The maintenance of so many social
list newspapers in one city is strongly
indicative OF the extent to which French
papers take up and consider politics.
The price of French newspapers is
high, and the reading matter is small
in amount. French newspaper read

that followed was beyond my powers
OF description. No one, seemed to be
aware of the cause of the stampede, II
never witnessed anything like it.in nv

over the entire city after the manner
of a cyclone. The street cars were
damned together in groups; carrabos'
carts piled up against one another and
barrlcaded the narrow streets, occu-
pants thrown out; doors and shutters
were closed and barred; men, women
and children ran hither and thither and
crowded and jostled one another in
their frantic efforts to escape some
dreadful, direful calamity.
The soldiers alone behaved with adj
mirable GOODNESS. Guards were doubled
and trebled. In an incredibly short
space Of time platoons of infantry were
thrown across each approach to the
great bridge, and no one but soldiers
atoot was allowed to pass. Armed men
took possession of the Escolta and the
avenues leading thereto, and used their
persuasive powers to calm the storm
and bring order out of chaos. American
courage and display of American
sense and judgment prevailed. In less
than an hour the 'whirlwind' had
passed and trade and traffic were re-
sumed. The question with the soldier

HOME LOVERS FIRST CHOICE.
Swiss Maidens Are Sorely Hampered

If the American girl was as restricted
in her choice of a husband as the girl
of mountainous Switzerland she would
quickly emigrate from the land of lib
erty to set up a. republic of her own
governing in some convenient section
of the globe.
Swiss maidens have wide and deep
courtship license, but in many of the
cantons they are allowed but narrow
choice of bridegrooms, it being rigor-
ously enforced, if unwritten, law tina,
they must marry youth of their own
neighborhood. In many villages every

ciety whose sole object is to prevent
any and every youth from outside from
coming accounting the maidens of the
society's village.
The society has password, frequent

lover of the village, if challenged, gives
the password and it is an "open sesame"
through the on-guard ranks of the pro-
tective society. :..--
He may climb and WOO uninterrupted,
undisturbed. But the lover from afar
must fight his way past the challenging
sentinels or use the shrewdest and most
successful stealth.

ind thus appear to multip its weight
many times over at will--to make it
impossible even to lift the object in

which has served on many occasions to
mystify the public, says Casters Maga-
zine. 5 +. f. s::I.. NJ. IA. Fl 3: &:i=: Y
Its principle, however, has been ap-
Piled to several more useful purposes,
and one of these, of recent date, is en-
bodied in a magnetic chuck for mis-
cellaneous work, for surface grinding,
principally, but adapted also for the
planer or the lathe. u. j.. T.. .,, w..
The magnetic effect in this chuck is
produced by an electro current circulat-
ing in coil in the interior of the de-
vice, and, as this coil is wound, pref
erably, for ITO volts, the needed cur
rent can be taken from any regular
electric lighting main in or about
shop. The convenience of the device,
especially for small work, is obvious.
A magnetic holder for an electric
incandescent lamp is another electric
shop convenience. The holder is SIM
ply a lamp socket containing small
electric magnet, which will make the
whole contrivance stick to any piece Of
iron or steel with which it may be
brought in contact.
The coil through which the magnet
is energized is within the base of the
holder, and the lamp current supply
ing the energy passes through it on its
wav to the lamp
