is now on exhibition in New York in

her mother married q man who it
seems reached degree of wealth
through mining. She adopted his
name-Clemmons-after went
on the stage and became something
of celebrity. Howard Gould saw
her, became enamored. and sacrificed
five millions Of Jay Gould's earnings
in order to marry her

THE JURY in the case of the people

failed to agree and were discharged
by Judge Palmer after nineteen
hours.
Anderson was on trial for an as
sault with deadly weapon with at
tempt to kill H. H. Tammen, one Of
the proprletors of the Denver Post,
on January 13 last. This result Of
the trial is unfortunate for the cause
of justice. Strong words, and even
blows with the fist may be provoca-
ton for resistance with equal or like
force, but cannot justify IN attack
with deadly weapons, and it is we'll
settled principal of law, that if during
the shooting, either Bonfils or Tam
men had killed Anderson, it would
have been clear case of self.defen Sc.
The prosecution in this case evident
ly failed by the retention of several
men on the jury whose prejudices out
weighed their oaths, honor or sense
of justice. But the plucky managers
of the Post will doubtless persist un-
til their brutal assailant is yet
brought to realize there is law in
the land that even bullies must rec

ton, the purport of which is that if any
men are suspected of such crimes as kid
naping children the people must not take
the law into their own hands, but must
send the culprits to the officials, who will
examine and punish them. Similar ru-
mors are current in Hanlow, and we
hear that some men were in like man
ner lynched there but up to the present
we have not been able to verify the
latter statement.
The strange part of the business is the
action Of the authorities in connection
with it. couple Of supposed kidnapers
were taken to the district magistrate in
Hanl1ow, Hsiak outing, but he refused to
have anything to do with them, and told
the people that they must punish them
themselves. Exactly the same thing hap
pened at Wuchang when an accused kid
NAPIER was taken to the Kianghsiahsien
yamen there. The result of this was that
no less than five men were done to death
by mobs-three in Hankow and two in

the thing that delighted me was the beau

courtesy and geniality itself, but at the
same time it was a gentle push toward
the door. 1t was done in such manner
that nobody could possibly take excep-
ton to it. A while afterward I became

day when I tried the experiment I began

hand firmly, and with my best smile
