Letter To W. 0. Standish,

Montpelier, Vt.
Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much; neck so
much; all the way between.
Just so with paint Devoe lead and zinc
is the porterhouse. Nobody wants the neck
the between, some say, is good enough for
them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than be-
tween. Lead and oil is between 1t is the
old-fashione paint. But zinc has come in.
Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe lead and
zinc is the paint.
II you paint in three years, you do 1t for
looks. Devoe does not wear out in three
years.
Yours truly,
II. w. DEvoE & Co.

HOSHOR DENIES LARCENY.
Says He Did Not steal H. q. Tor
rence's Papers-Evi deBce as ID
Good Character.

The preliminary examination of J. A.
Hoshor and l.. f. Thompson, formerly
chief of detectives In Tacoma on the
charge of stealing papers valued at from
s25f, 900 to 100000 from III. G.. Terrence
representative of English capitalists in
the Klondike, was finished before Justice
Cam yesterday afternoon. with the ex-
ception of the concluding argument.
Hoshor was on the stand and testified
at length He denied the theft, and said
that the papers found In his satchel were
there without his knowledge. IL he pick
ed them up with his papers he said IL
was through inadvertence. He also
brought out prominently the fact that
he was in the employ of Terrence at the
time of the alleged theft. and that he
was IN communication with him at the
time OF his arrest
He introduced deeds to show that he
owned claims which Mr.. Terrence was
about 10 purchase for $4,000. The s20.5o1
which ne was accused of refusing to re-
turn 20 Terrence was part OF the pur-
chase price he said. He claimed that
Terrence admitted there was still about
5000 due. which made up the fun
amount
A paper was put IN evidence which
showed on its face that Terrence had
paid Hoshor $1,000 Hoshor said that as
matter OF fact he did not receive the
money.
ON cross examination Assistant Prose-
cutting Attorney Hart tried to make
Hoshor admit that ne intended TO convey
the impression that Torrenca was try
ing to do up the Engiishmcn he repre-
scented. Hoshor said he did not know
Torrence's intentions.
isn't It a factT' asked Mr.. Hart. that
you warned the EnElishmen by cable TO
look out for TorrenccT'
Hoshor admitted sending a cablegram
70 that effect
Many witnesses were introduced 20
prove the good reputation Of both Thomp-
son and Hoshor.
Attorney HUMPHREYS moved 10 dismiss
the case. making much Of the point that
the papers Involved were OF no value 70
either Of the defendants. He said II was
strange the prosecuting attorneys once
the police and the sherins once should
50 persistentiy hound HOshor and Thomp-
son. The criminal law DE said vas being
used 70 force a compromise In civil
case. The arguments viii be concluded
this afternoon

The entertainment at the Opera

was an intellectual treat greatly en-
ioyed by the large audience. The
people OF Butler take a pardonable
pride in the high standing Miss Cat

among the first and as a teacher she
cannot be excelled in the state. Her

graceful and beautiful. Her manner
on the rOstrum is captivating and

Horace II. Blanton and Douglas
Wight. prominent attorneys OF Ne
veda, had a duel on the streets OF
that city Friday evening. in which
both were wounded. neither seriously.
The trouble originated over politics
Senator Wight. father OF Douglas,
it seems, was a gold bug in '96.
When he ran for the nomination of
mayor on the democratic ticket Mr..
Blanton opposed him bitterly and
cha rcpd that he was UOr a democrat
Douglas resented this and called
Blanton a lie. which led 20 the shoot
ing Wight was shot in the head and
Blanton in the right side. The lat
ter's wound is the most serious. but
unless complications arise, he viii re-
cover.
