Mrs. johnson Will Have Peace
For That Period.
GAVE NOTICE OF APPEAL
But is Told He Will Have to Furnish
$1,000 Bond-Schnetter
Fined $50.

Frank Dugan, prosecutor Of pretty
Mrs. johnson, was sentenced to six
months in the county Jail by Judge Sui
livan this morning. Six months is the
limit. During hat period, at least. Mrs.
Johnson will enjoy the peace she de-
serves. after a long season of annoying
exhibitions of affection ON the part of
Dugau. Her irrepressible admlrer will
have the opportunity Of ascertaining, by
well-merited experience behind iron
bars. just how much virtue there is in
the old adage, Love laughs at lock-
Smiths" n of learning whether or not
the adage applies to modern jail-door
f~astenings.
Dugan took his medicine without bat
ting his eyes. This was comparatively
an easy feat, as n Of his eyes was
closed by reason of a collision with the
manly fist of Mrs. Johnson's defender.
He could, therefore. concentrate his
mu~scle-control to his remaining optic,
which flashed defiance.
II van to give notice of appeal" said
he.
Very WELL" said the judge; 'but you
will have to furnish a bond in the sum
Of $1,000"
What Dugan did was told in police
u yesterday afternoon. He processes
an ardent affection for Mrs. Johnson
and has made life miserable for the wo-
man., who is married and enjoys the re-
spect of her n%eighbors, and who objects
very much to his attentions. He was ar
rested some time since at Mrs. JOhnson's
instance, and was warned by Judge Sui
Ivan and admonished to attend to his
own business. Several weeks ago he at
tempted to force his way into her home,
and the desperate woman grabbed a re-
volver and fired at him three times,
whereupon he zeal a retreat on fast
schedule time. On Monday morning he
again attempted to get into the house
and was met by a Mr.. O'Rourke, a
LOGGER, and properly chastised. Later
Dugan was arrested.
In his defense he attempted to blacken
Mrs. Johnson's character n was re-
Eibuked by Judge Sullivan.
Barney Schnetter, who was also tried
yesterday, was fined $50 for his assault

ployed at h Montana Music hall.

A dozen or more years ago a farmer
twisted bit OF iron about wire
fence, and noticed that his cattle
avoided 1t. Thus originated the use Of
the barbed-wire fence. which has cut
the great free prairies into ranches.
1t has lacerated and cut from water
countless numbers CT the wild animals
that once roamed the prairies, and Is
now classed as war material by the
nations. Both in Cuba and In South
Africa the Generalization wrought by
Abe deadly barbed-wire fence was
greater than that of the most improved
guns and powder. The position OF
fence cutter has promoted the drum
mer-boy into the forefront of danger.

Ing to the Philippines.
American women who contemplate
going to the Philippines need have no
fear in regard to health II they care
fully consider the situation, its re-
ouirements In the matter of food and
clothing, and the house one is to live
In. 1t is foolish to take much furni-
ture. as 1t would be useless to attempt
to furnish house in the tropics sim
liar to one here. Furniture absorbs
heat, and the less of i. there is
wanted. either, unless one wishes to
start moth farm" Much ornamen-
tation about the walls Is Objectionable
for the same reason as furniture, and
leather articles, lace curtains, photo
graphs and paintings rot from the
dampness, and may as well be left at
home. Polished wood, mating and
marble should furnish the tropical
home as much as possible. They have
q curious yet effective way of builds
ing house in the tropics. The house
is built, then about three yards over
and around it is built shell, or outer
wall. This prevents the sun and rain
from getting at the walls OF the house
proper. and allows a place for the
cooling draughts to circulate. A bath
room In the house for frequent baths
Is an absolute necessity. In the mat
ter Of food. alcohol and meat should
be taken as little as possible. Coffee,
too. Is bad, because 1t has too great
an effect on the nerves. Fresh vege-
tables are eaten little, being replaced
generally by rice. Preserved butter,
condensed milk. canned vegetables,
native fruits, chicken and fish are the
chief articles of diet. Curiously
enough. the natives eat young, lean
pork without Its seeming to hurt them
any. Children under six thrive better
in the tropics than they do at home,
and need little looking after and little
clothing. In fact, the less clothing for
any one. the better. Duck, linen and
silk are the best materials. and fan
mel bands for the stomach are Of the
greatest Importance. White is the
best color for clothing. and the ever
popular shirt waist and separate skirt
seem to be as great favorites in the
east as they are here. AS the sun
is the great foe of white folk in the
tropics, 1t is of the highest import
ance that every one should wear sun
hat. Children especially should never
go out without one. Next In import
ance to diet is the matter Of exercise.
1t is wrong to imagine that it is i'm
possible to work in the tropics. Walk
ing, tennis and good physical labor
should be INDUCED in. Without them
the white man In the tropics would
be reduced to low physical and men
tai condition that is far from desirable.

At the annual dinner OF the Silk

He made the speech OF the evening.
He contrasted the friendly attitude of
the United States toward China with

indicate that the Chinese minister Ia

The Chinese strenuousiy object to
gambling on future prices OF articles
Of consumption such as rice, wheat
and corn. Recently six members of IL

beheaded for making contracts to pay

Four of the finest pieces of tapestry
turned out by the celebrated Gobelin
looms in the last century have Just
been purchased in Italy and brought
back to France by DR.. Henri de Roths-
child. who will add them to his col
lection here. The pieces, besides be-
ing of artistic value. are of historic
interest, as they are gifts presented by
Louis Quinze to the Marquis de Grim
adj, the Spanish prime minister of
the time. They eventually became the
property of the Portuguese family Do
Silva Carvalho, in whose palace at
Genoa they have hung for over a cen
fury, and from whose descendants DR..
Henri de Rothschild purchased them
the other day. Three Of the pieces are
reproductions by Coypel of scenes of
Quinalt's play "Armide," on which
Chuck founded his opera, one bearing
the artists signature. The fourth de-
picts scene from another OF Quinalt's
plays Copies of three OF these pieces
Of tapestry are preserved at the Louvre
and at the National furniture store
rooms. one of them being unique. The
four were sold to DIR. de Rothschild
for G23.000-London Telegraph.

The immense profits amassed by
various trusts have been often talked
about in seemingly extravesant terms,
but the most extravagant oratory of
the anti-trust agitation has seldom, II
ever. equaled the representations made
in tho courts by Mr.. Frick, the part
ner Of Mr.. Carnegie in the Carnegie
Steel Company Of Pittsburg. Mr..
tricks action Is brought to prevent
Mr.. Carnegie from freezing him out
OF his interest in the concern and in
order to make clear his case 1t becomes
necessary to exhibit the profits of the
company, thus in q sense letting the
cat out Of the bag" According to Mr..
Frick the net profit of 1899 was $751;
o00, 900 and the net profits for 1900 will
amount to ~. 500, 900. Mr.. Carnegie is
said to consider this latter somewhat
excessive and fixes the profits for 1906
1t the moderate sum OF 10000. 600.
