Benjamin Harrison is SO good a

If the Sultan can borrow the

Says the Charlotte News: "It
seems that the Democrats are not
the only people that will have
women at their political speakings
this year. At P%ritchard's speaking
at Rockingham the negroes
brought their wives and sweet
hearts, and they grandly support

Senator Pritchard went to
Richmond county the other day
and made a speech. A correspond

says that since that time, the de-

very decidedly towards a return

never learn any sense? 1t does

Bird ntelligence.

From the Boston Christian Register.
During high wind one day this summer
young oriole was thrown from its nest
to the ground. 1t was picked up by kind
hands, and kept in the house till the storm
was over, and then placed on the roof of
the piazza. A watch was kept behind the
closed blinds OF a window near by to note
proceedings on the part of the parent birds.
They, in the meantime, had seen the little
one borne away, and had followed it to the
house, and, ii was kept near the open
window, its cries mad appraised them of its
whereabouts. They soon came TO il on the
roof and lowered over II, doing much talk
ing and consulting together. Finally, they
alighted near the little one, and the female
slipped her wing under 1t and seemed to
urge some course of acting upon the male,
who fdgeted about, coming to the little
one, spreading his wings over 1t, then fly
ing to a tree. when the female followed
him, and brought him back and again
slipped wing under the little one. Final
ly. he seemed to understand to get his
nerves under control. and, slipping his own
wing under, together they made a sort of
cradle for the birding And. each Tapping
its free wing. they flew to the tree. bearing
1t to place of safety among the branches,
where 1t was lost sight of.

Origin of "Under the ROse,n

In Greek mythology the rose was the SYM
boil OF silence, as 1t was said that Cupid,
the son of Venus, gave the god of silence a
golden rose as bride to conceal the
amours Of the goddess Of love- 1t was,
therefore. sculptured on the ceilings Of BAN
quoting halls and placed as q sign above
the doors of questionable resorts Guests
at feasts were crowned with roses to init
mate that their conversations while In their
cups were not to be repeated elsewhere
The phrase obtained currency In Greece
after Pausanias. the admiral Of the Greek
fleet, plotted with XerXes to betray the
cause OF the Greeks by surrendering the
ships, the negotiations being conducted in a
small banqueting hall, the roof of which
was, as usual, covered with sculptured
roses. The plot, however. was discovered
and orders given for the arrest of the
traitor. Pausanias endeavored to make his
refuge in temple which possessed the
right Of asylum. Unwilling to violate the
sanctity of the place by forcibly removing
him, and still more unwilling to allow him
to escape, his fellow citizens walled I'D
every entrance, and, by one account, left
him to die Of starvation; by another, killed
him by unrooflng the building and throw

Cooling Water without Ice.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
when native in one Of the broiling hot
little villages of interior Nicaragua wants
to cool some water. she fills half-gallon
earthenware jar about two-thirds full. Par
enthetically, 1 say she, because this is a
task that requires more energy than any
male Nicaraguan was ever known to pos
sess. The jar Is made of baked clay, and
not being glazed, Is partially porous, and
soon becomes moist on the outside. Two
leather straps are firmly attached to the
neck, and, Selling these in her hands, she
begins to rotate the jar swiftly in the air.
The mouth is wide open, but centrifugal
attraction keeps the liquid from flying out.
The average native woman is frail and list
less in appearance, but the endurance
which they exhibit at this sort of calisthen-
les Is marvellous. 1t is about the same as
say how long L have seen them keep it up,
lest you might set me down as a prize liar
Generally the lord and master lies in one
corner of their Jackal,' or hut, smoking "a
cigarette and watching the operation lam

ter is sufficiently cool, she stops with a
deXterous twist Of the wrist, growls out,
Mocha calora! which is native patois for
blamed hot, and she begins again, pa
tienty describing pin wheels. l have never
made a test with a thermometer, but l as
sure you they can reduce tepid water To
the temperature of a very cool mountain
spring. In Mexico the natives confine
themselves, as rule, to dampening the jar
on the outside and placing ii in a current
of air. Near the little mountain village Of
Santa Rosa. on the Mexican Central, there
is cave through, which a strong breeze
passes at all hours Of the day. l have seen
the mouth almost cheked with water jars

Left Out the Main Defense.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.

An ex-justice Of the peace tells the fol-
lowing story: During the time he was in
office a young man was brought up before
him on the charge Of gambling. The evil
dence was conclusive, and the judge i'm
posed a fine, which was paid on the spot.
When the case adjourned the defendant re-
manned behind and asked the judge for a
few moments conversation. 1.-THE case is
over" he began, land the fine has been
paid, and it's settled as far as that goes,
but 1 want to tell you how it happened.
You see, the cop told US If we didn't stop
he'd run us in Well, we were playing a
jackpot. 1 had an ace, three queens and a
king before the draw. I discarded the ace
and king and drew another queen. There
were good hands out against me- and they
tried to bluff me out, and l stayed with
them. Now, what 1 want to know is what
you would have done in case like that?"
Stayed with them If the gallows had
been in sight," cried the excited Judge.

not that evidence brought out atthe trial?"

A nan broken out with smallpox erup-

the county. The commissioner were
not due at the time and the man stS1d
about the and mingled with the
employees before the latter ascertained
the nature of his complaint. When they
finally fell to the proposition nine Of
them nearly had a fit.
1t was ascertained that he had been
sent there by DR.. Alexander, the city
health physician, and the result was the
following protest against that gentle
mans action:
Butte, Mont, May q, 1900.
Hon. J. H. Mccarthy, Mayor, Butte,
Mont:
Dear Sir-On behalf of ourselves, the
officers and employees of the court house
and the public generally, we desire to
protest in vigorous terms against the ac-
ton of DR.. Alexander in sending to the
court house a man covered with small
pox eruptions thereby exposing many
persons to the contraction of this dread
disease: we are constrained to believe
that a physician who would be guilty Of
an act of this nature is possessed of such
asinine stupidity as to unfit him for the
position held by DR.. Alexander.
We would like to have an early un-
d~erstanding with the city relative to this
smallpox matter, to the end that we may
work in harmony toward the eradication
Of the plague. Very respectfully,
(Signed) WILLIAM D.. CLARK,
Chairman Board County Commissioners.

Austin Brown who has been superin-
tendent of the Montana Ore Purchasing
smelter at Meaderville, for the past year
and a half will leave tomorrow for Shasta
county Cal, where he will superintend
the properties of the Bully Hill company.
Prior to his departure, the esteem in
which Mr.. Brown was held by his fellow
employees was manifested by the presen-
tation Of a beautiful gold watch to Mr..
Brown by the employees of the Montana
Ore Purchasing Co.
The presentation speech on behalf of
the employees was made by Mr.. Steve
Raymond, who has also severed his con-
nection with the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing company and will assume charge of
a big California mining property within
a few weeks. The speech was an able
effort on Mr.. Raymond's part and had
the effect of drawing tears from the eyes
of the listeners. Mr.. Brown was Visibly
affected and responded in a few we'll
chosen words. He is one of the best smell
termen in The west and during his two
years residence in this city has made a
host of friends who regret his departure
from the city. He is succeeded by Mr..
Herman Bellinger, who was the former
superintendent.

O'CONNOR ENTERS DENIAL.
FILES ANSWER IN DOYLE ESTATE
LITIGATION.
Dead Man Charged With Having, in
Life, Misappropriated Firms
Money.

Patrick O'Connor has answered the
complaint of James Dolan in the suit
wherein Dolan, as administrator of the
estate of Patrick F. Doyle. seeks an ac-
counting of the partnership bushes of
Doyle O'Connor. In the document
O'Connor denies that he ives the estate
81, 900; admits that while Doyle was alive
he left the city without giving notice as
to his destination, but denies that he tool
with him SO 1000 belonging to the firm or
any sum greater than 1895. He admits
that he did not return to Butte until af-
ter Doyl died, but denies that Doyle did
not know his whereabouts; denies that
on April II or at any other time the plain
tiff requested him to return the money to
the firm or that he refused to return the
money and threatened to misappropriate
it. but alleges that he is e~ndeavoring to
collect the outstanding money due the
firm. as he is informed and believes he
has a right to do.
Further answering, O'Connor alleges
that while he was absent from the city
Doyle ~misapplied and appropriated to his
own use large sums of money and thus
became indebted to the firm in the sum of
So. 226. SIS; that no part of this money has
been returned.
