course frequenter. Very often this young chap, like other gamesters of the amateur kind, tried to force luck, and after his funds had been exhausted would apply to his sister for funds. One night fortune was decidedly against him. He had lost his last cent, and drink had robbed him of his senses. At II o'clock he wrote a note to his sis ter saying; that he was in distress and conjurng her. by all the love you owe me-" to send him $25 by the messenger entrusted with his letter. The mes senger, known as hanger-on by all the players at the resort from which the note was sent, was a so-calied pri- vate detective. He delivered the mes- sage. and while Mrs. Jones, whose hus- band happned to Ee out of town. was citing the money secured possession of the letter. Two days later he called on Mr. Jones and told him that his wife was contributing to the relief of notorious young gambler who ire quently communicated with her dur ing the husbands absence from the city. Instead of knocking down the scounGre.. Jones permitted him to pro- ceed and finally read the note which the tale bearer had stolen a few nights before. Owing to the intoxicated con
 dition of the sender his handwriting was not easily recognizable. and car risd away by unreasonable jealousy the husband condemned his wife vii h. cut a hearing. The bum detective had received an honorarium of $50 for be- traying the plot and was congrat ulat- ing himself upon his success. When the case came up for adjudication, however. he was confronted by Mrs Jones' her, brother and several wit nesses and scored most unm ercifully by the court. Later on he was thrashed within an inch of his life by Jones, and after he had recovered from the first castigation fell into the hands of Mrs. Jones brother to receive second drub- ping. A number of the latter's friends promised to repeat the dose from time to time and Sherlock concluded to shake the dust of Chicago from his feet. ~
 Police officials state that private de tectives are responsible for fully % per cent. of all the domestic difficulties and misunderstanding aired in the courts of our large cities; and judges have several times gone so far as to caution jurors not to place too much confidence in the statements of hired spies who thrive on the misfortunes of others and enrich themselves by rob- ping men and women of faith in each other and confidence in their friends and neighbors.

THE LAST TRIBUTE.
Thousands View the Remains ei
 Senator Davfs at st. Paul.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 1.-For five hours yesterday q steady stream of people of all ages and conditions slowly filed through the governors rooms in the state capitol to take d last look on the silent and lifeless body in which for 6. years had been housed the indomitable spirit and clear brain of Cushman kel !ogg Davis, former governor and for 1' years leader in the senate of the United States. The occasion was an impressive one. and every one ill the long line seem cd to realize the loss that had come to the state of Minnesota and the nation. Nearly 10000 persons passed the silent form, paying their last tribute of respect with q look of regret and in some cases with q sob as if for a personal loss. Not alone the people of his home city, but from all parts of the state. came eitzens of all creeds and politics. of all colcrs and conditions in life. to show their es- teem for the honored dead. At an early hour the military and police escort marched to the Davis residence on Fa. rington avenue The military escort con sisted of Company D. First Minnesota national guard, Captain NJ. l.. Merrill commanding. most of whom were vcter- ans of the Philippine campaign as mem beIs of the Thirteenth Minnesota volun- tee1,s and q detachment of Battery A, Minnesota national guard. under Lieu tenant Allen, who acted as body bearers.
 Leaving the house, the procession. head cd by d detachment of police, marched slowly to the capitol. Between lines of citizens the caSket was carried to a cata- fa pne in the governors south chamber The main corridor of the building was draped with crape. In the center of the chamber lay the body underneath q chan dclier hung with crapc and smilaX. Broad bands of crape stretched from the corners and walls of the room to the chandelier in the center. Similar drapin"S were hung over each of the broad doors. Smilax and ferns and potted plants occupied the cor ners of the room and were banked in tho windows.
 The catafalquc was drapcG with tke rounded with floral tributes. At it's head rested an oil portrait of the dead states man. at it's foot the sword he carried through the civil war.
 A double line of guards was formed about the bier, and all classes of society were in the crowds which passed in q continuous line for hours, paying their last tribute to the dead.
 At3 o'clock the line or people. seemed to be without end. and it was found nee essary to close he doors. turning thou sands away. The coffin was then again carried to the heIrse by the stalwart ar- tillerymen aud the sam simple escort proceeded back to the statesman's late honie where the hereavcd wife and the stricken parents awaited in Sorrow for their dead. ..s

him at home. When informed of the discovery the doctor felt ike throt- ting the detective, but the uneApect- ed appearance Of the repentant letter writer prevented a catastrophe.
 Thus far, the detectives story goes this incident might be chased among the romances, but the sequel was q tragedy. Instead of reforming his hab- it's. the doctor sEent mere evenings at his club than ever before. and event. lfaily the woman made every statement contained in her scurrilous letters come true. She became q drunkard and q frequenter of questionable resorts, and now is an inmate of the insane asylum at Kankakee.

New York, April lit is more
than a mere coincidence that three OF
the most influential of the Eastern
Conferences Of the Methodist Episco.
pal Church have recently adopted
memorials to the General conference
requesting the elimination from the
Book Of Discipline Of the present in
hibitton against dancing, card playing
and theatre-going. This action is pari
OF a concerted movement of the present
younger and more liberal element Of
the church.
Similar resolutions will be passed by
other district conferences Throughout,
the country, and some Of the best-in-
formed clergymen in the denomination
believe this radical change will be
adopted by a large vote by the general
conference which meets next month In
Chicago. The general conference,
which is the supreme legislative body
of the Methodist church, meets every
four years.
