COTTER CLAIM Is SETTLED
A. o. U. w. DECIDES TO PAY THE
DEATH BENEFIT.
Matter Was Presented to the Grand Lodge
in New Light = Not a Vote
Against the Claim.

The somewhat noted life insurance
case of Cotter against the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen was settled
yesterday by the grand lodge of the
order, in session in Butte, it h 4ing vot-
ed unanimously to pay the claim with
out further litigation. The case was
brought before the lodge earlyin it's ses-
sion yesterday morning on a motion
that $1,000 be paid. and the matter was
referred to a committee of five, which
reported in the afternoon in favor Of
paying the insurance and the report
was adopted without a dissenting
voice.
Next month the order will levy an
assessment, and by October the claim,
which has been in litigation for three
or four years, will be paid. The grand
lodge has been successful in the liti-
cation, which it carried to the supreme
court and succeeded in establishing an
important point in the settlement of
disputed claims, and that is that claim
ants must submit their cases to the
board of arbitration of the order, ac
Gording to its laws and regulations, be-
fore they can appeal to the courts, and
that rule of the order has been ap-
proved by the supreme court. That,
however, was not the principal ques
ton or the chief reason for the grand
lodges refusal in the first place to pay
the Cotter claim.
d. H. Cotter was a member of the
Butte lodge for some time prior to 1895,
but was suspended for non-payment of
dues. Subsequently he was re-installed,
but the fact was, through the neglect
of the local lodge. never reported to
the grand recorder, and when Cotter
died, in 1895, he appeared on the grand
lodge books as a suspended member,
though he was in good standing n the
Butte lodge. For that reason the grand
lodge refused to pay the insurance,
and Mary Cotter beneficiary and
daughter of the deceased, brought suit
against the grand lodge for the amount
of the insurance policy. At the trial
in the district court she got verdict.
A motion for a non-suit and a subse-
quent motion for a new trial on the
ground that the plaintiff had not COM
piled with the rules of the order, re-
quiring her to submit her disputed
claim TO a committee of arbitration,
were overruled by the district judge,
and an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court by the grand lodge. The
supreme court reversed the case, be-
cause the plaintiff had not exhausted
her remedy in the lodge before bring
ing her action in the court.
The case was yesterday brought be-
fore the grand lodge with the result

New Thing in kissing Bees.

From the Boston transcript.
novel custom, started in the days of
the civil war, prevails in the eastern part
of West Virginia. At Shepherdstown they
have a picnic called soups" Each per,
son invited brings dressed chicken, the
host providing the vegetables. Poultry
and vegetables are placed in large kettles
holding from 10 to 90 gallons and the COM
bination is cooked over open fires for
several hours or until it is reduced to
jelly. Pepper and other seasonings are
introduced. The girls and young fellows
stir the soup with long-handled iron
spoons, keeping up a march or walk
around the kettles as they do so. When
a girls spoon clicks against the spoon of
a young man he is at liberty to catch and
kiss her. OF course, there are many
lively skirmishes and a great deal of fun
in the game. When the soup is done 1t
is ladled out into plates and eaten. 1t is
said to be delicious, The custom owes its
origin to a company of Stonewall Jack
sons men who We're recruited in that
part of the state. These ex-confeds keep
up their organization. They have a re-
union once a year, at which they cele-
hrate with a grand soup" 1t is said that
a soup properly gotten up should be
made of stolen chickens, but the veterans
had TO give up toraging after the war and
make a compromise by going around in
squads and robbing each others roosts
by mutual understanding.

SORROW OF TITLED MARRIAGE.
Marrying a Nobleman Is Not Always a
Pleasant Thing.

Ileasant lnlnS.
Marrying an English title is not all
honey. 1t depends, though, on the mo-
tive whether the woman feels she is
compensated by adding a handle to her
Christian name. The transaction may
be entirely for barter, and in that case
no sympathy need be wasted on either
party The title is bought with for
tune by the bride, and if it does not
pan out well she must simply regard 1t
as a bad investment. like many another
made in business. Now less than
year ago a handsome and exceedingly
wealthy widow, not satisfied with her
Affiliations in New York society, mar
ried an English earl of broken down
fortune and health, whose sole claim to
distinction existed in the fact of his as
sociations with the royal house of Eng
land.
BY the aristocracy he was tolerated
because he was one of them, but out
side of that sacred band he was a no.
body; he was as poor as a church
mouse. However, his great name
counted for something, and the rich
American widow fancied it would be
jolly to be countess, when so many
other New York women were Ladies
Somebody or other. There was no love
lost, evidently, for the earl threw HIM
self in front of an express train. or had
a fit, the coroner said, and left will
that ignored his new wife whose mil
lions had given him ease from credit
ors and taken his establishment out of
quad.
No arrangements had been made for
her, and the consequence is, beyond the
privilege of using the coat of arms of
the Straffords and being called dow
ager countess, the former Mrs. Colgate
of New York is precisely where she was
a year ago, as far as society is con-
cerned. 1t may be this was all under
stood in the marriage settlements, yet
the lady scarcely counted on so brief
a tenure of the coveted position; she
gave so much for so little, she should
have all there was to it for years to
come Alas and alack! for the graft
tude of man.
The earl bequeathed every bit of
property to his two daughters, not even
making provision for a possible heir,
which the countess now leads the new
earl to expect. One really hopes the
expectation will be realized, if it is only
to see the complications that then will
arise unsnarl themselves to the salts
faction of the handsome American
widow. But Lord Stafford did not have
an easy life of it. His daughters mar
ried indifferently. Lady Mary Byng,
the younger one, who was the queens
maid of honor, contracted disastrous
alliance with an impecunious French
count, and the pair kept sort of
young noblemen's boarding school in
France until the other day the authori-
ties went and shut it up on the plea of
politics Perhaps the father-in-law of
this Vscount De Mauny Talvande be-
came discouraged with the outlook for
his favorite daughter and concluded
life was not worth living, and then,
again, he may have had real fit and
tumbled under the wheels of the train.

TO BREAK UP THE GANG
Sheriff Gets After Junk Thieves
With a Sharp Stick.
SUCCESSFUL RAID MADE
Officers Find Hundreds OF Pounds of
Stolen Brass Fittings Ready for
Shipment to Salt Lake-De-
termined to Stop 1t.

The sheriff's officers yesterday made
ables stolen from the Boston & Mon
tana and Anaconda mining companies,
and evidence was discovered that is
considered almost conclusive proof that
a systematic business in stealing from
the mining and railroad companies is
being carried on in Butte. The state
ment was made yesterday by well
informed official of one of the mining
companies that fully $4,000 worth of
brass fittings and other parts of ma
chinery have been stolen from the min
ing companies of Butte, principally
the Anaconda, and have been shipped
out Of the city, and that at least $780,
900 worth more has disappeared and is
unaccounted for.
A great quantity of this was discov-
cred yesterday by the sheriff, who,
with several search warrants, went
through a car which was about to be
Skipped to Salt Lake by the Blumkin
Hide & Junk company yesterday morn
ing, and in the afternoon also made
search of the company's warehouse
on East Platinum street More than
900 pounds of brass and copper castings
We're taken from the car and identified
as the property of the Anaconda and
the Boston & Montana companies. val
ued at several thousand dollars. There
We're a number of big Knowles pump
valves and plungers, which cost the
company SITS each and We're all new.
There were all kinds of brass and iron
fittings and castings. Many of them
had been broken into bits so that it
was impossible to identify them. The
Northern Pacific railroad company also
claimed some castings found in the
car.
The car load was ready for shipment
to NJ. Perelson, at Salt Lake, who ap-
pears as treasurer of the Blumkin Junk
company and who has also been identi
fled in the junk business with Mike
Gordon, who was arrested few nights
ago at the Washoe mine with about
1000 pounds of Washoe brass and iron
castings which he was about to cart off
for junk. Perelson himself has been
under arrest several times for receiv
ing stolen property of that character.
The sheriff has now in his possession
about 1000 pounds of stuff mostly
stolen from the two mining companies
named.
In the search of the Blumkin ware
house yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff O'Neil and several representa-
tives of the Anaconda and the Boston
& Montana companies, the only thing
discovered and identified as stolen
property was another big Knowles
pump plunger, which had been stolen
from the st. Lawrence mine. 1t had
been uninjured and weighs about 10
pounds, it's value being SITS. Gordon,
who has some interest in the Blumkin
company, was present when the search
was made, and so was his wife and the
bookkeeper of the junk company. The
authorities of the mining and railroad
companies have determined to break
up the business of stealing valuables
and machinery and converting it into
junk, and an effort will be made to
send some of the guilty men over the
road.

Got His License.

James Shepherd, who was tried in
a South Butte justice court on Monday
on the charge of receiving stolen prop
erty and was let off with SIS fine, was
threatened with arrest yesterday for
doing business without a license and
he FASTENED to the county treasurer to
obtain a license, but at first it was re-
fused him. His lawyer afterwards ap-
piled for and received the license, after
he had held a session with the treas
urers deputies. Shepherd made an af-
fidavit that he did only $50 worth of
business a month.
Schatzlein's signery is a very busy
spot: it keeps two experts constantly
employed to supply the demand for up
to-date signs.
