Nor. Horses Thar Mon Are Killed In
In the Franco-German war, 1870, at
Grayelotte, the German cavalry lost 200
horses and 100 men, while their artil-
ler,y lost 1900 horses and $50 men. At
vrinville, q terribly fierce battle, the.
German cavalry lost 1000 horses and
1.4o0 men, while their artillery lost
1000 horses and $50 men; but al the

shows that when the lighting Is close

tell whether It was q defeat or: q VIC

between men lost and horses lost
would not be very great, while In 2 de-

STORIES OF CARLYLE.
He Never Got Far from a True Religion,
Belief.

He Nevor Got Far from . True Religious
On M occasion Carlyle had been
reading some Of the Bible with a
friend, says st. Andrew, and his voice
thrilled at the passage which tells how
those who desecrated the temple with
their buying and selling were driven
with a scourge out of its precincts.
Closing the book, he burst out in en-
thusiastic admiration: "That was
gran, man, gran! He was name O.
yer saft puns Of butter" Surely there
was reverence even under the abrupt
simplicity of the words. I happened
to enter into conversation at Ecclefe-
chan with two men Of the drover, or
small farmer, class. To a remark Of
mine that l was surprised to see the
stone over Carlyle's grave looking
rather green one of them replied in
quite surly fashion: cay, maybe. sac;
but'll be greener yet for a. the Eccle-
fechan folk care.'' "But you are sure
ly proud Of Thomas Carlyle" I said.
"Humph," was the answer, II suppose
he was muckle thocht o. about London
an thae parts, but what did he or his
aver dae for Ecclefechan? hae kent
the Carlyles a. my life, an they were
a-thrawn lot, the whole o them" This
other little story was told me by n
who had the pleasure of calling upon.
Carlyle in London not long before the
great man died. The visitor was kind
" received. for he had gone with in
Productions and messages from home
friends. During conversation he asked
CARLYLE II he ever wrote anything now
"No, no." raj the answer as the help

fully; "these hands I useless now. I

manager of a typical Western variety
theater at Carbonate, Colo. l. didn't
exactly relish the situation, but 1 had
been stranded out there by the failure
OF a road company, and it was a case
OF Hobson's choice. Carbonate was on
the boom at the time, and the popula-
ton consisted of the usual collection
OF miners, adventures, gamblers,
Eastern tenderfeet, and miscellaneous
frontier nondescripts. Our house was
the favorite resort of the town, and
was packed to the doors every per-
formance, but things passed off with
remarkable smoothness until one night
about a week after I had taken charge,
when a half drunken rufian down near
the front began to create a disturbance.
He started in by guying the per-
formers, and soon had them so badly
demoralized that the show was vir-
tnally at a standstfll. Meanwhile 1 had
taken a look at the fellow from n of
the boxes, and saw, to my consterna-
ton, that he was a noted bad man.

the acknowledged bully of the camp,
and who had won his social position
by shooting up a couple of deputy
shertfs and chasing his predecessor
over the range. It was a critical mo-
ment In my career. I realized If I al
lowed Bill to break up the perform
ance, the exploit would be repeated by
every minor bad man in town and I
might as well resign and get out. I
had to do something and do it quick,
and at last, in sheer desperation, 1
started down the middle aisle. The
house suddenly grew still as death and
everybody watched my progress. When
I reached the rufian I tapped him, on
the shoulder and he looked up inquir-
fngly. Come with me- I said mechani-
cally, expecting to get a bullet in my
vitals by way of reply, but, to my
amazement, he said, All right, part
ner,' and promptly arose. I put my
hand on his arm and we walked out
together, the audience literally gasping
with establishment in our wake. When
we got to the sidewalk, I was about
to return when he called me back.
Say, what did ye bring me out here
for?' he demanded. 4 wanted you

give an excellent idea of what is said

gone there during the past two or three
years.
when we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near

had a ft Of the blues but now all
hands are settled to business, hale,
hearty and contented, enjoying the
finest winter we have ever seen. We
have got very comfortably situated,
with considerable. preparations for a
crop, and all hopeful. l think this is
a very fine country, and if the past sea-
sons crop is not an exception, which
they claim not, I believe this is going
to be the wheat field Of the West. It
is filling up fast In this township last
spring there were Is quarter-sections
of land vacant and today there Is not
,one. / ~ stand at my house and
count ten houses where there was not
one last spring, with six more to go up
this spring. This is only a sample of
what Is going on all round. We intend
to build q church next summer, right
close to my place, SO We will be strictly
in line. It would have amused you to
have been here last spring. There
were crowds OF land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
disconnected. There was M in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
= letter in the paper, only tor which
he never would have come here, and
he was very hostile, but eventually he
got a place and today claims he would
not take a thousand dollars and move
out, SO I am glad he is satisfied.

EDWIN S. GILL IN COURT
For Taking Up Matter Concerning
 His Friend Judge Humphreys.

Special correspondence from Honolu- lu contains information from which the acquaintances of A. s. Humphreys and Ewdin s. Gill. former resi- dents of Phoenix will learn that they are still alive. It is said Circuit Judge Humphreys is keeping up his reputation for creating sensa- tiOns. At the Bar association banque held a week ago he was a guest and abruptly left the table and the banquet hall without any explanation, while F.. B. Mechanism was responding tO tht toast The Bench of Hawaii" It is sup posed he took offense at some jOculal remarks Mechanism made regardin; some of the new rules of practice Judge Humphreys had just made. The pap r which Humphreys controls made thi matter the basis of a charge that JhC whole thing had been previously ar ranged as a deliberate insult to Judg" Humphreys by a ring of lawyers wh previously had been in control of tn courts.
 ''W. A. Kinney, one of the lawyer: whom it was intimated had been in tn g ring, in an open letter to the public asked the grand jury to investigat' this charge. The day this open letter appeared Judge Humphreys called tn grand jury before him and instructed it to investigate nothing appearing ir the newspapers, no matter by whom signed unless brought officially to it; attention by himself. This was directl. contradictory to his original charge f which he told the grand jury it could investigate any matter, no matter who brought it to the attention of the jury
 "A day or two later he assigned w. A. Kinney. who is one of the leading rrac titioners, to defend an indigent defend ant charged with robbery. This was looked on as move to annoy Kinney But the latter has taken up the case. and the first thing he did was to mov to quash the indictment on the ground that the grand jury. which was draw! under rules framed by Judge Hum phreys himself. was not prOperl! drawn, not being in accordance witt the Hawaiian method of drawing pett! jurors, the territorial act providing that it shall be, but the matter will be taken to the supreme court.
 Immediately upon Judge Humph reys charge to the grand jury not L investigate matters brought to its at tention through the newspapers Kinney began a criminal prosecution agains the editor of Humphreys paper, which had made the charge of corrupt prac tices in the courts"
 The paper referred to is the HonOlul, Republican, whose editor is MT. Gill.
 A copy of the Honolulu Republican received at this office yesterday con tains an account of the proceedings il court, brought before Judge Wilcox The complaint is based upon an article headed Insult to Judges Had beeT Pre-arranged," and from which the fol lowing grounds of action have beer extracted:
