controversy, into which 1t was dragged
against it's will, without a stain upon its
ermine. The testimony given by the dis
tinguished members of that court has
little If any practical bearing Of the
case in issue, when analysed and under
stood, and the influences which led
Chairman Chandler to insist upon their
pilgrimage to Washington were of, the
most pernicious character.
Undoubtedly. Mr.. Chandler was in
formed that the testimony of these gen.
tlemen would be conclusive as to. the
charges made against Senator Clark.
Otherwise, it is fair to assume that he
would not have forced an adjournment
of the supreme court, n The attend
ance of it's members upon the committee.
when their dispositions would have COW
cred the ground fully as well.
The breach of confidence which
dragged our court Of last resort into
the slime of the senatorial controversy
was a despicable feature of a small mind.
The movement was well timed to give
the public the idea that the supreme
to save the state from the unutterable
evil of a Clark victory! For that body
to pass through the crucible of the COM
mittee and come out u%nscathed, towering
above and beyond the political quarrel
which sought to engulf them, is cause
for rejoicing on the part of every man
who believes in the purity of our courts
and who would protect the judiciary
from the shadows of suspicion.
Undoubtedly, the prosecution has
sought to perfect title to it's claims of
purity by showing that the judges of
the supreme court of Montana were wit
nesses in its behalf, trusting to the high
rather than to the testimony which they
might be able to give. 1t was a play
which will inspire contempt rather than
applause, and cannot fail to arouse dis
! gust on the part of every impartial OBJ
server.
AS the Inter Mountain has all along
maintained, it was bad enough to reflect
upon the capacity of our courts to a
minister justice, by taking the Clark case
to Washington, when it's criminal fea-
lures should have been adjudicated al
home. But it adds insult to injury when
the courts of this state are also dragged
to Washington, in the hope that TIN
public may gather the idea that TIT
judiciary is committed to the interest
of the prosecution in this great. mast,
political fight. Our Washington corre'
spondemt expressed the situation yer,
tersely yesterday in reporting the view:

WHEN WHEELER RESIGNED

Washington, March 1o.-I
now appears that General Wheel
er did tender his resignation las
fall. AS the letter, which wa:
dated November 78, at a place
called Paniqui, in the island Of
Luzon, was not cabled, but came
| by the slow process of mails
and, moreover, as it did not come
directly to the War Department
but went to the White House,
where it has been reposing since
its arrival in Washington, the
officials Of the War Department.
according to their statement,
knew nothing of it until today.
The generals resignation was
not accepted promptly by the
President, out of consideration
for the Office. Instead he was
ordered to report 20 the War
Department at Washington, and
he is still in the army. His res
ignation will be accepted here,
and the effect of the delayed
action will be to allow the officer
his mileage and expenses to
Washington. The resignation
reads as follows:
Paniqui, Island of Luzon,
The Philippines, Nov. 28. 1899.
The President, Executive Man>
sion, Washington, d c.
Sir: The insurgent govern
ment is virtually destroyed.
Aguinaldo is a fugitive in the
northern provinces; his cabinet
and congress are scattered. The
president of the Philippines
congress is here, and from what
he says l think it will be inn
possible for their congress to
ever reconvene. The various
commands of the insurgent gen
erals are reduced to mere skele>
tons and fly before us SO fast
that it is almost impossible to
get within gun range.
l therefore respectfully tender
my resignation as an officer in
the volunteer forces of the
United States.
Very respectfully,
JOSEPH WHEELER.

A CONFIDENTIAL CASE.

at has long been a matter To-

who was in a reminiscent mood
"whether a lawyer should defend
a man that he knows to b.

on both sides, and l do not sup.
pose it will ever be settled tc

"A good many years ago l had
a case that set me to thinking
and l haven't yet determined
what my duty was n the matter.
At that time had a small prac-
tice in a little town in the west
ern part of the State. Upon my

ed for hog stealing.
CAT that time every one kept
at least one hog to kill in the
fall and salted down for use in
the winter. One of my neigh bors
had butchered hog a few days
before and the party that was
called upon to defend was
charged with the theft of it..
"The case was about to be
called when I arrived and asked
for little time in which to COM
suit with my client. This was
granted, and taking him to one
side I said:
"Now, see here, the best thing
that you can do is to make
clean breast of the affair to me
and then I will know just where
I stand. Whatever you may
confess to me l will treat as
sacredly confidential and l will
do my best to clear you

"Then where did you get the
carcass that was found in your
possession ?" I demanded.

Then | remem bered that just
before going away I had left
orders to have my hog killed,
and l could only gasp. However,
l went to work and cleared my
client of the charge he was un-
der and took the carcass of my
own hog as payment for services
rendered. But l had hard work

APPLAUSE IN OLD ROME.

From some relics which have
Just been unearthed at Pompeii
the interesting discovery ba:
been made that the theatre goer:
IN old Rome were much more
punctilious in the matter o1
applause than we moderns are
If they approved of a play or OF
an actors performance they
testified their. approval openly,
but in such a manner as to show
the exact amount OF qualification
which the performance had
afforded them. In other wo1ds,
says a correspondence of the
Chicago Times Herald, they
were guided by rigid rules in
the matter, and so we'll were
these rules known that every
actor could tell at once whether
he was really making hit with
the public or was playing to an
audience that failed to appre>
ciate even his best efforts.
When such theater>goers were
fairly we'll satisfied with a play
they applauded by swapping
with the thumb and middle
finger, if they wanted the actors
to understand that they were
really satisfied with the perfor-
nance they clapped loudly by
beating the left hand Oh the
right. Only the fingers of the
left hand were brought into play
on such occasions and the sound
was as if two earthen vessels
had been knocked together. A
more hearty token of approval
was given by striking the fiat
palms of the hands against each
other. A still more marked to-
ken of pleasure was curving of
the hand and then striking them
hard against each other. At
times, however, there was an oc-
casion when even these methods
of testifying approval would be
lnSut III Clent to express the
popular delight. 1t became the
custom on every such occasion
for all persons in the audience
to applaud by waving a corner
of togas or robes in the direction
of the stage. The people of the
lower class in Rome were not
privileged to wear togas, but the
Etnpero Anrelian permitted
them whenever they went to a
theater to carry piece of cloth.
so that if the play proved an ex-
traord1nary success they might
be able to testify their approval
in the recognized fashion.

A PATHETIC STORY.
A REAL HERO.
He Gave up His Own Life to
Save the Life of His Little
Brother.

The Anglo-Saxon, of Rock
ingham, in its issue of last week
told in a few lines a story that
is enough to thrill the coldest
and most unteeling heart. II
was about a little hero, albeit a
child of tender years.
It ran this way: Not far from
Hamlet, in Richmond county, a
family of children were left
alone. the parents having gone
to neighbor's, two or three
miles distant, to spend the day.
About noon they sat about to
prepare their dinner and the
clothing of the IS months old
baby took FIRE. The eldest child,
a lad of 9 years, went to the re-
lief of the baby with no thought
or care for himself. Fiercely
the battle ragged, as with bare
hands the child tried to beat
back the flames.
A little 7 year-old girl was
thoughtful enought to run to
the spring for a bucket of water
which she threw ON the two
children and extinguished the
fire, but she was too late. How
ever. unheeding his own torture,
the brave and faithful lad gently
removed the rags from the baby's
body and replaced them with
cool, clean clothes. then clasped
the little sufferer in his arms
and started for his father and
mother.
A neighbor happening along
took them all in his wagon and
carried them to their destination.
At 10 o'clock that night the
baby died and the boy now re"
lieved of his responsibility,
yielded to his own pain and the
physician, after an examination,
shook his head and declared that
his recovery was impossible.
Tha: was all. But what a res
cord
No trumpet sounds his praise,
but what hero On any field ever
surpassed in moral grandeur the
long. brave struggle of this little
boy to shield and save the baby?
It makes one think better of the
race to see in this unlettered
child so high and bold an ex-
ample of fidelity.
We pray that God may spare
the boys lite. He has in him
the elements of the highest and
the noblest manhood; but if his
time has come may he meet in
the better land the baby for
whose sake he laid down his
lite.-Charity and Children.
