PLEDGED TO MARRY WIDOWS.
But the bachelor Members of the
Club All Seem to Prefer
Young Girls.

There is Bachelors club in the west
whose only rule to which members
swear allegiance when they join the
club is: Marry widow" Young girls
and old maids alike are barred, says
the New York Herald.
One explanation of this rule, given
by member, is: 1--WE consider it the
part of wisdom to marry some one who
has already discovered that men are
not angels"
Another member gives this philan-
thropic reason: young girls always
have the best chance with their fresh,
blooming faces, and we think the wild
ows ought to be given show, as their
lives have been in n measure blighted,
as it were. Anyway, they seem to un-
derstand man better
Another view of the case is the fact
that anything forbidden suddenly ac-
quires wonderful interest. lot of
bachelors who pledge themselves to
marry widows are sure to discover the
hitherto unappreciated charms of all
the maidcns in town. No marriages to
widows have yet been announced. but
several engagements of members to
young girls have been confessed. The
rules of the club provide for this con-
tingency by demanding a fine of five
dollars and loss of membership.

DOLLAR OF 1904 IS A MYTH.
This In the Assertion OF u Well
Known American Authority
on NuuaInmatics.

Is there an American dollar of the
date of 1904? If there is, it is worth a
fortune. for it is one of the jack o.
lanterns Of numismatics. In a recent
issue the American Journal of Numis-
mates goes into an interesting account
of what it terms the myth of 1904 dol
lars" and denies that any such coin,
struck in that year, is in existence. Like
comets. these alleged coins have been
turing up in most unexpected places for
nearly century. Recently coin deal
ers were excited by a story from Ra-
cine, Wis, which told how a woman
went into a dry goods store to buy a
spool of thread and rendered in pay
ment a worn silver dollar, saying that
she did not know whether it was good
or not. The clerk saw the date 1900
on the coin, put it into his pocket, and
threw a new silver dollar into the cash
drawer. He was offered $500 for the
old coin by dealer, but refused to sell.
In this way the story got out and the
clerks employer put in q claim for the
1904 dollar. Both men have employed
lawyers to defend their titles, and now
the woman shopper is preparing to
bring suit for the possession of it.
For years Mr.. Nexsen, an expert of
Brooklyn, N. Y, has made study of
the subject. He has convinced himself
and other competent judges that no
genuine 1904 dollar was ever coined.
He has become convinced that the al
legged dollars of that date are altera-
tions Of Spanish, Mexican, Bank of
England five-shilling pieces. or some
such fraud. 1t is believed that an ex-
perimental die with mil!ed edges was
made but not used in 1904. In 1912
some one. perhaps surreptitiously,
struck few dollars on this old, I'M
used die, and it is these that are occa-
sionally found.

When you see the animals in the park
menageries pacing back and forth rest
lessly in their cages do not take it for
granted that the creatures are unhappy
or even disconnected. II may be that
the lion or the tiger or the polar bear
that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and Gle soon. When the wild
creatures are in their native juncies
they are kept pretty busy hunting
food. Thus each day they walk many
miles. perhaps. In their narrow cages
in the parks they are p!entifully sup
piled with food, but their brawny
bodies still demand a great amount Of
exercise. Mile after mile is paced off
daily by the uneasy creatures. Usually
they move with long, swinging stride.

County Attorney Putnam, when seen

complaints occasionally registered by
the various justices of the peace to the
effect that they do not share equitably
in the distribution OF cases; 1 remem-
Der one case in point wherein a jus
tice of the peace about a year ago
made a similar complaint. which was
duly investigated by this office, when
il was found that he had been adj
lotted more than his share.
Attorney Gunter keeps a book and
makes a note of each complaint is
sued, and the justices get them in TO
tation as nearly as possible, and we
can't help the fact that perhaps one
court gets a better case, as regards
fees, than another Everything that
emanates from the sheriff's Office is
distributed among the various courts.
with the exception Of Justice TimmOny
in the police court.
1T has been the custom for years
past for the police justice TO sit upon
the preliminary hearing of all state
cases, wherein the defendant mas been
arrested by the police officers This
custom has been in vogue on account
of economy, and the presence on the

case of the justices out in the county,

.HOBOS ROB A GROCERY STORE

AND THEN ESCAPED.
Mrs. Schindlemeyer is the Victim of

Made Good Their Escape.

Mrs. Schindlemeyer, who operates a
small grocery store on the corner of
Sixth Eas. and Third South, had an ex-
perience with a couple of hobos yester-
day morning at 10 O'Clock, which
abruptly terminated with the loss of a
pair OF gold-rimrned spectacles and a
couple of packages of soap. Apparent
ly the tramp had no urgent need, ac-
cording to his lights for the accessory
to ablution. but he took it along on
general principles" oE
Two rough-loolxing specimens of hu-
mainly entered the store as indicated,
and proceeded to make a small pur-
chase of tobacco. Prior to waiting on
her customers. the old lady took off her
apectacles and placed them on the
counter and then turned to the shelves
in search of the article inquired for.
While she was so occupied, one of the
menreached over and attempted to tap
the till. 81
Mrs. Schindlemeyer, however, caught
him in the act. and the tramp, seeing
that he was detected grabbed the
glasses and bolted for the door. His
companion followed, carving off his
booty likewise. The proprietress of the
store made a valiant effort to stop the
men, but by the time she had reached
the sidewalk the fellows were out of
sight. -

DAVID RICH HAS HARD LUCK.
Els soLICITUDE FOR PUBLIC
HEALTH CAUSES TROUBLE.
Local Health Officers Locked Him Up
Yesterday Because He Had Been
Exposed to Smallpox.

Health Commissioner Keogh yester-
day received information from the local
board of health at Richfeld, through
DR.. T. B. Beatty of the state board.
that David Rich. who had been exposed
to smallpox injection last week, had
come to Salt Lake. Inspector Buckley,
who is immune to the disease, went out
on a hunt for the suspect, and finally
located him at 555 South West Temple
street.
According to Mr. Rich's statement, he
was not exposed to the disease carried
to Piute county by a woman from one
of the infected districts in Sanpete
county. Mr.. Rich declared he Travelled
in the smoking car of the train which
conveyed the infected woman, who was
a passenger in another coach. He also
thought it was hard luck to be singled
out as a suspect when he had called
the conductors attention to the eruD-
tive appearance of the woman'S face
and also notified the health officers at
Richfield of the exposure of other pas
sengers to the contagion- The Rich
field doctor pronounced the case one OF
erySipelas but in a few days he was
authenticallY advised that it had de-
veloped into virulent smallpox.
Notwithstanding the suspicion of ex-
posure which the Richfield health Of
ficers have directed toward Mr.. Rich
to reward him for his solicitude for
the public health, he believes he can
continue to present clean bill from
smallpox. After DR.. Keogh had inves-
tigated the case, he concluded that for
the present it would be necessary only
to watch and see if Mr.. Rich develops
smallpox symptoms.
Inspector Buckley failed in the at
tempt yesterday to locate man and a
woman with smallpox eruptions report.
