WOMAN ACCUSED OF PURIFY
Thesn Fisher Arrested on Clarke

with Swearing Falsely.

Thesa F1sher, an inmate of a house OF
ill-fame on Washington street was ar
rested last night by Sheriff J. J.. Marsh,
Of Clarke county. and Detective Barbee,
IL accused OF having falsely sworn that
Vivian Nichols and Jessie Crawson. a
Portland couple. were OF legal and mar
riaeeabie age. IT is claimed that the girl
was under IS years of age.
The story told by Sheriff Marsh is that
the marriage was the sequel Of an elopc-
ment from Portland to Vancouver. Van
couver Is said to bear the reputation OF
being n sort OF Gretna Green for Portland
lovers. Sheriff Marsh says that the young
people brought the Fisher woman with
them to Vancouver for the express pur-
pose OF making afflGavit that the girl was
Of legal age. xIhe~fnarriage followed the
issuance of the license. and the contract
ing parties at once took their departure.
few days later, Sheriff Marsh says,
Miss Crawsons father. who had Nbecome
who had heard OF the marriage. came to
Vancouver. On learning that the Fisher
woman had made affidavit he consulted
with the prosecuting attorney Of Clarke
county. and then swore out a warrant for
her arrest. The Clarke county authorities
lave been looking for her ever since, and
only located her here yesterday
The facts are" said Sheriff Marsh last
Nigh. that Nichols AMI the Fisher wo-
house OF ill-fame~- In order to do so they
had to get her out OF the control of her
father and this marriage was cooked up
to accomplish that end"
The Fisher woman cried bitterly when
brought TO police headquarters. She is
but q years of age and says that she has
a child dependent upon her for support

rooms or every kind in Seattle, especially
hotel accommodations. is the main difficulty
with which Capt. Robinson has 10 contend
BY several OF the proprietors of the lead
ing hotels OF the city Capt. Robinson has
been told that they could not well afford
to give up such large number of rooms
for considerable period Of time on ac-
count OF the very large travel which
passes through Seattle and which gives
every promise, the hotel men say, Of grow
ing rather than decreasing.
Gen. Randall is expected here tomorrow.
With him will come Capt. w. r. Richard
son. his acting adjutant general: Capt.
Gonzales $. Bingham his chief commissary

and to listening to the whirling words of my commensals, at the long board spread for the Bohemians in a cavern ous space under the pavement. They were writers for the Saturday Press and for Vanity Fair Ca hopefully comic paper of that day), and some of the artists who drew for the illustrated periodicals. Nothing of their talk re- mains with me. but the impression re- mains that it was not so good talk as heard in Boston. At one moment of the orgy, which went but slowly for the orgy, we were joined by some belated Bohemians whom the others made great clamor over; I was given to un- derstand that they were just recover ed from a fearful debauch; their locks were still damp from the wet towels used to restore them, and their eyes were very frenzied. I was presented to these types. who neither said nor did anything worthy of their awful ap- pearance, but dropped into seats at the table, and ate of the supper with an appetite that seemed poor. I stayed, hoping vainly for worse things. till Il o'clock, and then I rose and took my leave of a literary condition that had distinctly disappointed me. I do not say that it may not have been wicked"r and wittier than I found it; I only re- port what I heard mad saw in Bohe- mia on my first visit to Bohemia, and I know that my acquaintance with II was not exhaustive.

The former Mrs. Thomas Fitch, Jr., who formerly resided in Prescott and who will be remembered by many of the old citizens, shot a man recently in Oakland California, with whom she had been living for about two years. The mans name is Conway, and he is a tailor by trade. The woman claims
 to be his wife, but Conway claims that
 while they had Mved together for two years they were never married. The woman claims the shooting was done in self defense, as she claims that Conway was advancing toward her with a murderous knife in his hand and as a warning of what he might expect from her she fired two shots in the ceiling. These having no effecu she aimed the third at Conway and it took effect in his side, producing wound from which he may die. Since being divorced from Tom Fitch, Jr., several years ago, Mrs. Fitch was married to and divorced from a man named Peck,
 after which she took up with Conway.

do anything which would reflect dis l credit upon the sacred name of Christ. i nor to go anywhere they would be ashamed to be found if the Lord should suddenly return. He especially urged them to avoid placing them selves on level with the basest ele- ments of the city. by taking any part in the carnival masquerade.
 THE ENIGMA OF THE AGES.
 "The Enigma of the Ages" was the subject of the sermon of Rev. William R. Rice of the First Church of Christ Job 21:7, Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in 1 power?"
 | Why do the wicked prosper and Christians fail, is a question of per petual interest not to a few of some | particular age, but to all of all ages. That the wicked prosper and righteous suffer we know by history-presen mt | observation. See the wicked with strong bodies. prosper in all things. They seemingly have wealth, and honor thrust upon them. Pleasures of life are uninterrupted. Homes are places of mirth. They are puffed up, deride the suffering Christian; evil hearts overflow and they give vent to | their wicked thoughts. Take the Chris | tian, physical wreck, marked as the victim of disease, poverty-stricken. no work, family destitute, home a hovel. | fitted for usefulness, but no place Of honor and trust is given him. He has financial, mental, social and otlier tr.nt GJa ic md frOv he an man point of view the wonder is that he does not curse God and die.
 Why this, can the question be an- swered? We reason, God is good, He is personal God, all Christians are His children, He is wise and hath all power and the question is difficult of solution. Human thought cannot solve it, We must understand certain truths of Gods word.
 God is father of the righteous and not of the wicked. There can be no double fatherhood. By creation he is the father of Adam and. Eve. Thsy were estranged by disobedience, were disinherited and went out from Eden. their home, and the home of their Fa- ther. We are sons and daughters of Adam and Eve of earthly parentage.
 Because he loved his own children. he loves their children and we can by complying with certain conditions, be adopted into His family and enter His home. The Lord does not smile upon the wicked in their prosperity. The rain falls upon the just and un. just alike. The thrifty hand touches the soil and it responds. This leads ne to observe thatsnot all the righteous are poor and fail to hold positions of trust because the Lord wills 1t.
 The wicked have their portion in this life. No inheritance in the home of God. After laying the things of earth down they have nothing to pick up. Not so with nhe righteous. he works and fights his way back through the world to the gate of Eden and passing through finds himself in the home of God and his home and hears the words, "All are yours; and ye are Christ's and Christ is Gods"
