Certain fads are contagious, say the
Parisians Globe trotting seems to be
one of them. The latest attempt to
trot around the world without any
"trotters' to trot on. is an Austrian
tailor, who started out from Vienna
without a cent in his pockets At last
accounts he and his companion had
reached Paris and were meditating
crossing the channel to England and
then continuing on journey around
the world. Not only was this man
without a cent to bless himself with,
but he was also without legs, and he

Andre Monument sold.

The plot of ground on which stands
the historic monument erected at Tap
pan, N. Y, by the late Cyrus W. Field
in memory of Andre, the revolution
airy spy, has been sold for nonpayment
of taxes. Since the death OF Mr.. Field
the memorial has been neglected, and
it has now passed into the hands Of
George Dickie of Nyack, who says he
will obliterate it. The monument was
unveiled Oct 2, 1879. and in April.
1882, attempts were made to destroy
it by an explosion of nitro-glycerin.

a more beautiful ride, says the Phila-

effect Of whirling over the tops of the
podding trees, flying over deep chasms
and ravines, threading romantic
streams and being whisked over the
heads of the quaint villages is almost
fairylike.
All curves are SO arranged as to
avoid decrease in the main lines.
The iron framework over the river Is
supported by buttress piers of iron
work inclined toward each other, but
in the public highways the structure
Is supported by vertical iron columns,

Strapped into a peculiar sort of a We

wheeled himself along at the rate of

covered the distance between Vienna
and Paris-about $50 miles-in fifty

is Johann Haslinger, and his only
complaint is that his hands, through
constant use, have become more like
feet, the skin of the palms being as

applied to Mr.. Pinliham to be registered.
Mr.. asked him if he had regis
tered and Harris replied in
the affirmative, adding that he had reg
istered in Granite county two years ago,
but he had taken up his permanent resi-
dence in Butte since then and was en-
titled to register and vote. The agent re-
fused to register him purely on h
strength of the clause In the law to
which reference is made in the foregoing
and the matter found its way into court
for judicial determination. Mr.. Bick-
ford commended that the books Of the old
registry agent at Granite had been lost
and the agent himself could not be
found; therefore it had been impossible
for Mr.. Harris to get a certificate Of re-
lease from voting duty In ranite coun-
ty. The law covering this part of the
business was also dissected and boiled
down to a proposition of ambiguity. Mr..
Connolly himself said the law was am.
biguous and would not stand a thorough
fire test, whereupon the judge ordered
the ISSUANCE of the writ, which pleased
Agent Pinkham more than if it had been
denied, for it settled a question which
has perplexed him and other registry
agents since the beginning of the regis-
tration work.

HILLARY HARRIS CAN
HAVE HIS NAME REGISTERED,

Judge Clancy heard the application of
Hillary Harris for a writ of mandamus
today to compel Widen Pinkham, regis
try agent in the eighth district to place
his name among the list of voters, and
at the conclusion of the hearing the court
granted the writ and ordered Mr.. Pink
ham to register Harris.
Attorney w. M. Bickford appeared for
Harris and the county attorney for the
other side, but there was no great CON
test. In presenting the matter MI. Bick-
ford said the question involved was one
which had given the agents considerable
concern and they desired to have the
matter passed upon by the court, as it
affected the right of several other resi-
dents of the city to register and vote.
Harris, it seems. had resided in Gran
lite and registered there two years ago.
The law says that when a man registers
1t is not necessary for him to repeat the
performance for eight years unless he
changes his residence to another district.
Then, in order to register and vote in his
new place of residence he must notify the
registry agent of the district in which he
formerly resided and secure from him a
certificate to the effect that his name has
been Cancelled. Harris moved to this
city from Granite county and yesterday

Mr.. YODER'S CANDIDACY.
He Is a Good Man for the Office of
Secretary Of State.

A. N. Yoder, the republican candidate
FOR secretary of state, has been a resi-
dent of the city of Butte for 10 years. He
has always been a clean, decent man, and
a consistent republican. The voters of
the state annot do better than support
him for the office for which he has been
nominated. and it should be borne in
mind that the nomination came to him
without any solicitation, while he was at
Nome. 5+
MI. Yoder was born at Columbiana,
Ohio. When he left there he went to
Colorado and afterward to Utah. He
worked in the mines and smelters of
both states. Before he associated him
self in business with Joseph Albiez,
about IA years ago he was a grocery
clerk.
He lived in Ohio in the same district
as did President Mckinley, and Yoder's
first vote was cast in favor of Mckinley
for congress-. Mr.. Yoder is a graduate
of Union college and is we'll fitted by ma
ture and education to fill a%cceptably the
office for which he is an aspirant. For
the last three weeks he has been making
a tour of the state in the interest of the
republican party.

There Was No Great Rush in Registry
Districts Today.

Today is the last day of registration
but at the time of going to press there
had not been any thing in the nature of
a rush.
Exclusive of districts 14,16. II and IS
the total number of names enrolled was
1857, estimating the our districts not
reported at 600 the grand total would be
1857. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
700 new names will be added today which
would make a total of 1876 6 which is
about 5000 more than it was last year.
A peculiar feature of the registration IS
tina the increase outside of the city Is
very large. The total registration within
the city two years 6 was 8,647 while
up to last night the total registration in
the city was 11,635, an increase of 2,98S
over the previous registration.
