The Remarkable Pistol Duel of Two
 Bad Men of Colorado.
 "The most affectionate looking two- handed gun play that I ever saw" said a Colorado gentleman in one of the House committee rooms, twas the one that happened at La Junta, in my state, between Big Divide Jim Bratton and George Cannon, as pizenish a pair of real bad men of the type that has now passed away as ever famed a 45 or twisted a bowie. Cannon was the proprietor of the Gilt Edge honkatonk in La Junta, and it was at this place that he had some trouble with Bratton. The argument ended by Bratton back ing out of the door with his hands up, Cannon having the drop. Cannon didn't

JUDGE CARLE.

Yesterday afternoon the New Haven
 county caucus nominated ex-Judge
 Julius c. Cable for one of the judges of
 the Court of Common Pleas for New
 give much pleasure to the many
 throughout the county and the State superior fitness for the place for which he has been named. Judge Cable is a perence and extensive practice. He has the confidence and respect of the he has spent most of his life, and in which he has done the work of a good citizen. He is perfectly familiar with court matters, having served as clerk, prosecuting attorney and judge in the City court. During his four years on the City court bench he was also often called in to act as judge in the Court of Common Pleas. His course as judge was always characterized by eminent fairness, dignity and wisdom. In his hearing of cases he was always patient and considerate, and his decisions were in accord with law and justice. His promotion to the Common Pleas bench is well merited, and his record there will amply justify the action of the leg islators.

HOW BRYAN WAS INTRODUCED

HOW BRYAN WAS INTRODUCED
 "The story that Senator Towne told on W. J. Bryan the other day reminds
 me os one that MT. Bryan told in a company where I was q guest" said Representative Dave Mercer. Shortly after Bryan had arrived in Lincoln and begun the practice of law it got noised about that he was a good speaker, and he was somewhat in demand at meetings in the small places.
 "One night he was asked to speak at a school house fifteen miles from Lin coln. He drove over. The night was bitterly cold and Bryan hastened to the big stove when he got into the room. While he was thawing out little, weazened Irishman came up to him and introduced himself as the chairman of the meeting.
 Now I'll tell you what I want you to do,' said MT. Bryan to the chairman, after they had exchanged greetings. T have driven fifteen miles to talk for your people. Of course, I do not ex- pect any fee, but when you introduce me I wish you would say: Ladies and gentleman-you will now be addressed by MT. w. J. Bryan, the rising young attorney of Lincoln. l think the little I shall get is no more than my due
 "The chairman agreed and they re- hearsed the introduction several times, until the chairman was sure he had it letter perfect Then the meeting was called to order. When Bryan's turn came the chairman rose, started to speak, stopped, started again, and then looked at Bryan in a helpless sort of way. Go on,' whispered Bryan.
 "The chairman took a long breath and blurted: Ladies and gentlemen Misthur O'Brien will shpake, '"--Cleve- and World.

Not "Younx Gentleman of Yale.n D

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: The press of the city. in so far as it has quoted the article in the Yale News referring to the indecent and imbecile action of a few members of the univer- sity, has honored itself and it's readers. It seems incredible that such an insult should have been offered to the hun dreds of lady visitors who thronged our streets, as well as to the city generally. Mother Yale may well blush for such sons.
 Let the names be given that the par ticipants may be shut out of our homes, and every true woman would hold up her hands for expulsion"

When the attention of Walter We'll man, the Arctic explorer, was called to the statement that Commander Bald win, who is to head the North Pole ex- petition of which William Ziegler of Brooklyn is the patron, had purchased such an immense number of Eskimo dogs as to have cornered the market, he smiled and said: You might as well talk of cornering rabbits as Eskimo
 dogs. All over northern Siberia are scattered men who make a business of raising these dogs for the market One man will breed ten or fifteen dogs at time, dispose of them and raise another litter, so you see how difficult it would be to create corner in these animals.

Of course. It is not generally known, says the London Globe, "that Mr. Mar coni the adapter of wireless telegraphy, is as much an Irishman as an Italian in all but the matter of birth. He is, 1t appears, first cousin to leading Wexford merchant and the son of an Enniscorthy lady.

The will of the late Robert Arthing- ton, of London, leaves one-tenth of his estate, estimated to be worth s5,00o,00o, to his relatives, four-tenths to the Lon- don Missionary Society, and five-tenths to the Baptist Missionary society. But the money does not go into the treas uries of these societies. It Is to be ad- ministered by committees composed of the trustees and persons named by the societies. The income, if practicable, is to be used to translate and print parts of the Bible in languages into which it Is not yet rendered, and in teaching a few persons to read in each tribe speak ing these languages. in order that "all tribes and great populations, destitute of said gospels in print, should by some means be reached promptly"
