BUTTE'S LATEST
SOCIAL SCANDAL
The bordeaux Divorce Case Fur.
nishes Food for Gossip. The
Races BrIng Disaster
and Ruin in Their
Wake.

The sensation Of the week has been
the verdict of the jury in the celebrat-
ed bordeaux divorce case. No one
ever thought that he would secure the
divorce or that his charges against his
wife would be credited a moment. His
wife as Ella briggs was a member of
the Butte Four Hundred. She married
bordeaux despite the protests of her
friends and had to leave him, alleging
cruelty. Bordeaux used to be a waiter
here and society people could not over
look that, utterly ignoring him. He
determined to get revenge on society
and his wife at the same time and a
rev months after she left him, going to
her parents in Salt Lake, he filed a
suit accusing her of in fideility, naming
Lyman A. Sisley, who with his wife
as factor in society. He chose Sis
ley because Mrs. Sisley was one Of
her dearest friends and is today. Mrs.
Bordeaux will try to get an other trial
and will probably succeed. Mr.. Sis.
ley is newspaper man, managing
editor OF the Western Mining World.
Butte people as rule had altogether
too much racing this season. Thirty
days was enough and another month
OF it is too much. SO many people 90
there dav after day, losing their little
all that it has created reyulsion of
feeling. Disagreeable comment has
also been made on the way races are
run. AS one old timer said: .You
can't bet ON form or jockey, you can
just play your hunches.' Everyone
plays the ponies just the same. Some
few are ahead of the game. but they
can be counted on the fingers of one
hand. The prettiest and most fascinat-
ing woman in the city is ahead over
$500 and everyone is glad. There has
been some sad results of the races, en-
bezzlement. attempted suicides, and in
several instances couples have separ-
ated because the husband or the wife
objected to the other wasting money at
the races.

HARD ON DIVORCES
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CANON
LAW OF CHURCH.
SLIM SHOW FOR REMARRIAGE
FRANK n. MILLER OF GEORGIA
SUGGESTS PROvISo.

That the Proposed. Restriction Shall
Not Apply Against the Innocent
Party Where the Ground for Di-
vorce Was Adultry-Under the
Amendment Reported by the Com
mittee No Episcopal Minister
i Would BE Allowed to Remarry "A
Divorce Person, Except Where the
Divorce Was for Cause Existing
Before the Former Marriage.
San Francisco, Oct. 6.-The house of
bishops of the Episcopal Church on
Monday will take up the remaining
soon as this question shall be disposed
of the bishops will take up the report
of the Committee on Marriages and
Divorce. The committee has reported
by vote of IL to in favor of amend
ing the canon of the solemnization of
matrimony by adding the following
section
mo minister shall solemnizc mar
riage between any two persons unless,
nor until by inquiry, he shall have sat-
isfied himself that neither person has
been, or is the husband or the wife
of any other person living, unless the
former marriage was annulled by a
decree of some civil court of competent
jurisdiction for cause existing before
such former marriage"
The committee, in offering this
amendment, does not discuss the ques-
tion of the remarriage of divorced per-
sons, nor refer to the belief held by
many in the church that
an innocent party in a d.
vorce, obtained because of adultery,
is entitled to marry again. The minor
ity report, which is signed by Frank
H. Miller, suggests that the following
proviso be added to the proposed
amendment:
This shall not apply to anyone pro-
ducing a certified copy of a decree of
divorce on the ground of adultery, in
which he or she is found to be the in
nocent party by court of competent
Jurisdiction"
This report is one of the principal
bones of contention in the present gen.
eral conference. The majority report
of the committee goes on to say that
in it's judgment. no successful action
/ can be had in amending the constitution
of the United States sc as to make uni
| form the law of marriage and divorce
| in the United States, and that the only
| practical way toward securing such
uniformity should be sought through
the enactment of similar laws by the
| several states.
In the house of deputies the discus
sion of Mr.. Huntington's amendment
to the constitution in regard to the
special form of service to be revised
by canon for certain classes of congre-
cations, not in full communion with
| the church, will be continued. Some
able speeches are expected.

THE ISLANDS UNPROFITABLE.
Congressman shafrOth Tells of Our
Expensive Bargain in the Philip
pines.

Expensive Bargain In the Philip
pines.
Denver, Col, Oct 6.-Congressman
John F. Shafroth, who has been trav-
cling in China and the Philippines for
the last four months, has reached
home Speaking of the conditions in
the Philippines he said:
Peace has been practically restored.
There is still little insurrection in Sa-
mar, but aside from that everything
is fairly quiet. do not believe. how
ever, that the retention of the islands
will be profitable, as the government
will have to expend a great deal of
money on them, even in times of peace.
1t costs now between $60,000,000 and
$75, 1000, 900 a year to keep the soldiers
there, and even If the number is reduc-
ed to 10000, the expense will still be
greater than the profits from the ISL
ands will warrant. The islands are un-
questionably rich but their benefit to
the United States will not materialize
until a generation or two shall have
passed and the need for an army in
the islands shall have gone"
In regard to China Mr.. Shafroth
says:
The trade of the United States with
China has grown rapidly and this
country will soon be keeping pace
with the struggle for supremacy. The
danger of the invasion of American
fields by the Chinese is not very great
so long as the exclusion act is in force,
but as this will expire next spring, the
problem will be one for the government
again to consider. So far the govern
ment has not allowed the Chinese to
enter the Philippines and l presume 1t
will exclude them there so long as they
are kept out of the United States"
Mr.. Shafroth looked into the silver
question in the Philippines, and when
Congress meets this winter will sub
NIT a plan for the re-opening Of the
mint at Manila and the establishment
of free coinage of the silver of the ISL
ands. Mexican and English silver coins
are now circulated in the islands, and
as American bills and gold command
a premium in China and neighboring
countries, most of the American mon
ey is now driven out of the country.

San Francisco, Oct 6.-The first SUM-
day of the triennial Episcopal confer
ence was devoted entirely to mission
ary services in the various churches
of the denomination in this city and
adjacent towns. The weather was per-
feet and the attendance at all of the
meetings was large. Grace Church
was unable to accommodate the throng
that presented itself for admission AT
st. Luke's and Trinity the situation
was the same. The overflow was pro-
vided for in other churches.
The services at Grace Church were
conducted by the Lord Bishop Of 20
lumbia, the sermon being preached by
Bishop Potter of New York. He spoke
of the attitude of the church in rela
ton to the problems of modern life
and showed the necessity Tor individual
salvation bfore others could be saved.
In the evening Bishop Dud-
ley of kentucky spoke at this
church.

Pitt, rector of the church. In the even
ing the triennial missionary sermon
was preached at Trinity Church, be-
fore the board of missions, by Rt. Rev.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The sons and
daughters of the late President Nc
Kinleys native state of Ohio, who are
now residents of Washington, to-day
paid last public tribute to the MEM
ory of their dead congressman, Gov
ernor and President, in a largely at
tended meeting at Chase's Opera
House. The gathering was held under
the auspices of the Ohio Republican
Association. but was not confined to
Ohioans. About 5000 persons were pres
ent. The decorations were appropriate
to the occasion. The marine band fur
nished the music and was stationed on
the stage, directly under large cra-
SCIl pOl u dll vi IlColhChb
which was draped in graceful folds Of
black, the whole surrounded by an i'm
mense American flag.
The meeting was presided over by
Col. j. H. Brigham, assistant secre-
tary of agriculture. The Rev. DR.. ].
j. Muir delivered the invocation, and
addresses were made by the Rev.
lric IA nac nf the
Metropolitan Church, which the Presi-
dent attended while in Washington;
Judge Thomas H. Anderson, Hon. AL
phonso Hart, D. X. Watson and Simon
Wolf of Washington. The speeches
were full of expressions of love and
honor for the memory of Mr.. Mckinley
and dwelt on the virtues and qualities
which had endeared him to the people.
Several of the speakers took occasion
to denounce the anarchists in unmeas-
ured terms and advised that drastic
measures be taken against them.
An interesting feature of the meeting
was the reading of a letter from DR..
M. D. Mann, one of the President S
physicians, to Mr.. T. NJ. Sullivan, the
secretary of the association. 1t was as
| follows:
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 26, 1901, T. M
| Sullivan, Esq. My Dear Sir: AS Presi-
| dent Mckinley was dying, stood be-
| hind a screen in his room and heard
| him say his last words. His wife came
| into the room and he said to her:
! Goodbye, all, goodbye. 1t is Gods
way. His will be done, not ours There
! was some further conversation with his
wife in the way of leave-taking, but
| this should not be repeated. About ar
| hour later, he said to his wife: Nearer
| my God, to Thee, cen though 1t be q
cross. has been my constant prayer.
He tried to say something more, but
could not catch it. 1 gave out at the
] time the first sentence as being the
most appropriate to be remembered as
| his last words. 1 wrote them down al
| the time so there can be no question
| about it. Yours very truly

New York, Oct 6.-Sir Thomas Lip

From another source it was learned
that there is a hope on board the Erin
