Handel.

Handeps one great passion was music
He never married 1t is said that he
never was in love. The only woman
whom his heart ever felt warm toward
was his mother, and her he revered and
cherished and cared for till she died.
On the other hand, he was frequently
the object of tender thoughts on the
part OF women who loved him. One
young lady, lady of fortune, is said to
have died heart-broken because Of him.
Another young lady, a lady of both
birth and fortune, was equally DESTROYS
that her hand should be asked for by
him When in Italy the Archduchess
Victoria, a beautiful woman, who was
also the first singer of her day, was so
madly in love with him that she fol-
lowed him from Florence to Venice and
literally demanded that he should mar
ry her" proposition that the musician
was too quick-tempered even to listen
to with equanimity. And in another
way Handel was frequently the object
OF the tender regard Of the gentle sex.
When he went TO Berlin the electress
Sophia, Of Brandenburg, afterward the
fl st Queen of Prussia. took such an in
tereSt IN the gIIted Ch,ld-he was then
btu eleven-that she offered to take him
into her service, to send him to Italy
and have him educated in music there at
her own expense, and afterward to con-
fer upon him some important post-an
offer, however, that his father, who was
still intent upon his being a lawyer,
would not permit him to accept Suisse
quently, when Handel went to England,
Queen Anne conferred upon him a hand
some pension. Later he was the object
OF the affeCtionate care of the Princess
Caroline, afterwards Queen Caroline,
wife Of George H., who gave him an
other handsome pension and made him
music master of her family Still later
he was equally the object of the regard
of Queen Caroline's daughter, the
Princess Anne, and also of Queen Car
oline's daughter-in-law, the Princess of
Wales, the mother of George III.
all the vicissitudes of his
long career-and they were many and
distressing-Handel never for
a moment was without the good will
and interest of the ladies of the Eng
fish court. F. L. BURNETT.

A GREAT SURPRISE
To Many Who Heard the Evidence
Who Thought His Guilt of the
Crime Charged in the In
dictment was Clearly
Established.

In the district court yesterday
afternoon Judge Gill and jury
listened to the evidence in the
trial of Charles Miller accused oil
stealing hogs from Tuck Sanders.
Attorney Edminson appeared for
the defense and Attorney Huckle-
berry represented the government.
The jury retired about 4 o'clock
and not having reached verdict
by the time court adjourned were
locked up for the night.
Urias Phoebeck acknowledged
himself guilty of the charge of at
tempt to kill and was sent to the
penitentiary for year and a day.
John Bird told the court that the
charge against him Of having
brought liquor into the territory
was true. Bird was ordered Gagged
at the Fort Smith prison for six
months.
The bond of Judy Smith for
$3.50 for introducing liquor was for
feited. Joe Richards and w. J.
Harrison were his bondsmen.
The trial Of Riley Edwards, the
boy charged with having broken
into the Sapulpa postofice, was set
for December 10.
George Hargrove pleaded not
guilty upon the indictment charg.
ing him with having received
stolen goods.
The trial Of W. J. Kuhn, the
Chelsea druggist, upon a charge of
selling liquor, was commenced and
the evidence and cross-examina-
ton of the first two prosecuting
witnesses gave promise Of interest
ing developments.
MeIlette and Smith appeared for
the defense and their announced
endeavor was to show that the
prosecution was prompted by NAL
ice and with the hope on the part
of the chief complaining witness
that be would secure money to
leave the territory.
Henry McCastland was the first
witness and he testified that he
had purchased alcohol from Mr..
Kuhn. He denied that be had
sought to obtain money and had
brought the charge for that pur-
pose. Mr.. Mellette laid the found
alton for possible charge Of per-
jury against the man who claimed
to have bought liquor and then
unbluahingly testified to the fact.
Under a skillfully conducted cross
examination Attorney MeIlette
forced the admission from McCast-
land that be had been an import
AMI witness in an Illinois murder
case and had left the state upon
receiving $500 to keep from testi-
tying.
J. s. Birgman admitted that
some people called him a drunk
ard. He supported McCastland in

him alcohol. On cross-examina.
