A LATE despatch from Washing

A LATE despatch from Washing
ton reports that William q. Ster-
rett. or "Bill" Sterrett, as his Tex
as compatriotS know him best, has
been called to Washington by
Presiden4 Roosevelt, for the pur-
pose of discussing political APP
pointments in Texas with him.
Sterrett, who is almost as well
known in Texas as the Galveston
News, with which he has so long
been identified, is said TO be a per-
sonal friend of .ROoSevelt's of long
standing, aud the political gosSips
have it that he. may be appointed
TO some lucrative office himself,
aud that he will surely control the
Texas appointments. President
Roosevelt's leaning toward the
"gold democrat" has already been
shown, and as Col Sterrett comes
under that classification, Somec Olor
is lent to these rumors. Il may
truly be said that the President
could not select more able and
honorable man for auy Office than
the popular Texas newspaper writ
er.

The arrest of Ernest Seton

habits of wild animals, by Colorado
authorities, for violating the game
laws of that state, comes as a sur
prise to those who have known.
Mr.. ThQmpsOh's record as a lover
and friend Of wild animals. He is
charged with batting bear trap
with veniSon aud running dogs
after deer. Anyone who has seen
the pictures of this man with the
wild birds, tanned by him while
free in their native woods, perching
fearlessly upOn his hand, and who
has read his beautiful animal sto-
ries, can scarcely credit the charges
made against him. He is said to
have denied the charges, and his
friends will demand proof before
condemning him.

The Nunes Divorce Suit.

AT noon yesterday the divorce suit
Of Stella Nunes against her husband
came up in Judge Gears court The
defendant did not appear in court TO
contest the application.
The testimony of the plaintiff was
to the effect that her husband had
deserted her and is now living with q
mistress. The Court continued the
case until today. instructing the clerk
to issue subpoenas for both the hus-
band and the woman with whom he is
living.
Then the Court went on TO deliver
a bitter lecture on husbands who de-
sert their wives to live with other
women and then seek to avoid the
payment of alimony when divorce pro-
ceedings are brought. Judge Gear said
that it was the duty of the High Sher-
if of the Territory TO look into just
such matters with view of bringing
the guilty ones 10 justice. adding that
in the present case the Court would it
self see that criminal prosecution fol-
lowed such open and disgraceful con-
duct.
Upon another divorce case being
called. in which Attorney Poepoe rep
resented the plaintiff. it was found
that the lawyer was not present.
Judge Gear warned attorneys that they
ran the risk of their cases being dis

HAMLET'S CASTLE.
ssnethinS About the Home Of the
Famous Dane at Eisi.ors,
Denmark

Jacob A. Riis, the New York pow
erty expert, lived as a child in the
neighborhood of the castle of Kron-
borg, Elsinore, Denmark. He has re-
visited the place in recent years, and
his early and later "reminiscences are
embodied in an article called Ham
let's Castle" which appeared in the
Century.
In 1873, as a first step toward max
ing 1t fit for king to live in, Fred
erik III. Swept it clean of all hurt
full people and animals, meaning, by
the latter, vagrant swine and dogs.
How his broom worked on the "peo-
pie" is instanced by the treatment
of outcast women under the cdict.
They were to be whipped and brand
ed by the headsman, and turned out
II they came back, both their ears
were to be cut off. If after that they
were again found within the gates of
the city, the order was to stuff them
into sacks and throw them into the
sound. Four years of this sort of
thing was supposed TO have cleared
the ground, and the erection was be-
gun of Kronborg-the "crown castle"
That was the name, said the king,
and for miscalling it "Flounder' or
Hook" any man was to pay him the
value of one fat steer. Long before
it's gray walls had risen to half their
height the new name stuck. and when
II was finished, in 1885. the steer rev.
enue had ceased to be of account.
OF the revelries that attended the
opening of the castle il may well be
that the echoes ring yet in Hamlet's
description of "this heavy headed
revel," which to his mind is "more
honour'd in the breach than the OBJ
servance." For in that year there
played at Elsinore troupe of stroll
ing English actors, which for all we
know with certainty to the contrary,
may have included young William
Shakespeare himself, come fresh from
poaching upon Sir Thomas Lucy's pre-
serves to seek his fortune among
the playhouses in London. The old
town records contain two references
to them. One is a mere entry of the
expenditure of four SHILLING "for the
repair of the board fence between
the house of Lauritz, town clerk. the
town hall and yard, which the people
broke down the time the English
played in the yard" That was in 1855,
and may have been on the occasion
of the opening festivities. The
troupe came back later and stayed
some time. Little did Ine clerk who
entered into the municipal accounts
the cost of its play and keep dream
that he was making a notable con-
tribution to the history Of the great

MEN BUYING THIMBLES NOW.
Testimony OF the ssIesgiri as 10 the

"One phase OF the notions depart

girl behind the counter, according to
the New York Sun. sis the number OF
msn who buy thimbles. The first time
] sold thimble to man was almost
convulsed with curiosity and he was
in the same condition with bashfulness.
He tried TO make me think at first that
he was buying it for his sister, but he
worried so over the size that sus-
pected there was something back Of
his anxiety, and at last | said:
Cant you give me some idea OF the
size OF your sisters finger? Is it as
large a. mine. for example2 and I
held up the middle finger OF my right
hand for inspection.
"'Oh, yes said he, 1T is larger than
that-much larger. It's almost as
large as mine
And then ] laughed and presently
he laughed and told me all about it.
The fact is he said, Il have no sister.
I'm roughing ii in bachelor quarters
here in New York, and have to do so
much mending and sewing on buttons
end the like that find thimble is in
dispensable. suppose my ability in
that line Is nothing to be ashamed Of,
but somehow I rather shrank from
letting on that I was buying a thimble
for myself. I thought H. would make
me seem effeminate.'

ing goods, all of which goes to prove
that the sexes are reversing their old.
fashioned occupations with . ven.
geance. Most of the men who buy
thimbles have the incest tapering
fingers imaginable. I suppose most OF
them work in offices or stores and
don't do anything to spoil their hands
They are very particular about the
ft OF their thimbles. They always
want them as tight as beeswax. A
woman likes a thimble loose enough
to permit of circulation. but the men
say they can't do anything with the
thimble slipping off all the time.
Men buy good thimbles, too; much
better than the average woman. II
is no unusual thing for them TO ask
for gold one. Then have to send
them to the jewelry department. This
year | gave several young men nice
thimbles for Christmas presents
They all said ] couldn't have given
them anything that would have been
so useful and acceptable. It's q won.
der to me why more girls don't give
their men friends tnimbles instead
OF fancy handkerchief cases and neck
tie boxes. I'm sure they would ap-
preciate them more. BY another year,
fancy, they will get onto the idea,

sewing companions necessary ad-
junct to every young mans bachelor
