ALL ARE SENTENCED.
Denver Officers May Go to Prison for
Contempt of Court.

Denver Dec S.-Four months In
nrison is the fate meted out to Mayor
r. r. Wright Jr., and eleven aldermen
in the district court Saturday as re-
sult Of their passing of a street raii-
way franchise in spite of an injunction
by the court.
Judge Mullins granted stay of sen
tence for ten days to give time TO-
an appeal, and in the meantime the
prisoners are out on bond.
The ordinance, which was passed
over Judge Mullins injunction, grants
the Denver City Tramway company a
franchise to run for twenty years and
permits the collection of cent fare
on all the street car lines of the city
for the next twenty years. Efforts We're
made by minority of the board OF
aldermen to correct these features of
the bill, but the majority refused to
permit any changes to be made.
The eleven aldermen who voted for
the ordinance in the face OF the in
junction are w. B. Tebbetts, president
of the board; John d. Ross, Andrew
Horna, P. B. Russell, John Conlon,
William Gahan, James Parish, George
w. Weick, F. A. Bailey, D. s. Gray. and
Pinkney Wallick. When Judge Null
Inns ascended the bench today the
eleven aldermen occupied seats within
the bar. Mayor Wright was not pres
ent, but was represented by counsel.

LAKE VESSELS OVERDUE.
Steamer Wilhelm and Two Barges
Week Overdue.

Ashland, Wis, Dec. S.-The steamer
Wilhelm and two barges are almost
week overdue from Sault Ste. Marie,
and some anxiety is being felt for their
safety. The vessels are owned by the
Hines Lumber Company Of Chicago and
are manned by Chicago men. Tugs have
worked all day keeping the channel
clear of ice in anticipation of the ar
rival of the boats. They will be in a
dangerous predicament unless they
make port soon, for the Wilhelm coal
supply must be short.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Dec. Sit is
reported that the tug Castle, which
went up from here Thursday with D. I'll.
Wilcox, insurance agent for the Heb
ard, on board, is ashore at Sand Island.
Halifax, N. S., Dec. S.-The violent
storm which swept over the Nova SEQ
tia coast last night caused many mar
inc disasters and some loss of life. Nine
schooners broke their anchor chains in
Sydney harbor aid were dashed ashore.
Most Of them were Newfoundland fish
ermen, and some will be a total loss,
The worst wreck reported so far is that
of the American schooner Lucinda
Lowell of Canso. It struck on a ledge
of rocks and hung fast, with the seas
breaking over 1t. The crew suffered
terribly from the cold until rescued.
The mate. George Roberts, was killed
by falling spar, and one of the sailors
was drowned In the breakers in an at
tempt to reach the shore.

Until a meeting has occurred on the
field of honor between him and the
minister. Concerning the summoning
of a platoon of soldiers, NJ. Syyeton
says:
Let the majority beware OF this
precedent When the time arrives for
soldiers to be introduced into the cham
Der to intimidate the Representatives OF
the people dangerous state OF affairs
exists. If force is to rule then the ma
iority will find itself before long con-
fronted with soldiers
NJ. Syveton has chosen the MARQUIS
De Dion and NJ. Guyot De Villeneuve as
his seconds to meet the seconds ap-
pointed by Minister Valle.
AS preliminary to a meeting, how
ever, IT must be decided who was the
aggressor and whether the offense
comes within the code of honor. M.
Syveton's personal offense against
Minister Vale consists in giving him
the lie. while the ministers personal of
rense consists of having called M. Syve-
ton wretch"
A further complication is pointed out
by the Figaro, which shows that duel
ling is practically interdicted among
officials in authority and to engage in
Guel is tantamount to the giving UP OF
his portfolio by an official. The general
belief is that the seconds will determine
that no cause for a duel exists.
Deputy Constant has been inter-
viewed and says that as the chamber
voted his expulsion and voted conH-
danca i'm the government he will appeal
to his constituents for vindication.

FINED FOR MAKING LION ROAR.
Vaudeville Performer Found Guilty of
Cruelty to Animals

Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. S.-'.The great
Layfayette, a vaudeville performer at
the Duquesne theater last week, was
fined $40 and costs yesterday by Aid.
Oyer on a charge of cruelty to ami
mails. In order to make his act realistic
and thrilling Lafayette introduced a
Gagged lion, which was goaded by a
strong electric current to roar in an
infuriated manner. Supt. James Bell,
OF the Western Pennsylvania Humane
society heard of the performers meth
DDS and made the information. An in
spection of the stage by the officers of
the humane society revealed large cop
per plates in the bottom of the beasts
cage. At the moment the animal was
called upon to roar a strong alter
mating electric current was turned on
from the dynamo, and the lion in its
struggles dashed about its pen in a
way that led an audience to believe
that its fury was natural.

THOMAS MAST DEAD.
Famous cartoonist Dies In Ecuador of
Yellow Fever.


Glayquill, Ecuador. Dec. S.-Consul
General Thomas Mast. the noted car
toonist. died here today of yellow fever.
after an illness of three days. His
death occurred at noon today and the
remains We're buried at 5 o'clock. The
funeral was attended by the governor,
the consular corps. the American coll
ony, and by many friends. The coffin
was wrapped in the stars and stripes.
The British consul recited a prayer in
the cemetery. The death of Mr.. Mas.
is deeply lamented by the natives who
held him In high esteem.
Thomas Mast was by long odds the
most famous cartoonist of his time,
and from his pencil came some of the
most effective political arguments ever
advanced in American politics. Per-
haps his most noteworthy conception
was that of the Tammany tiger.
Mr.. Mast was born in Landau. Ba-
varia in 1S40, and came to this country
in 1876 After a short preparation in
drawing and painting, he went to work
at the age of Is in New York for Frank
Leslie. He left Leslie four years later
to work for the Illustrated News. which
sent him to Canada to get pictures of
the Morrissey- -Heenan prize fight. He
afterward went to England for prize
fight pictures. but went soon to Italy
to follow Garibaldi. He landed again
IN New York, it is said. with just SILL
in his pocket and went to work for
Harper's Weekly. He was soon sent
to the civil war battle-fields and camps.
After the war he found in Andrew
Johnson an object for his caricatures.
His cartoons published during the
presidential campaign of 1872 especially
were remarkably effective. and even
more so were his caricatures of Boss
Tweed. which in a great measure were
responsible for the overthrow and sub
seuuent arrest of Tweed.
According to Mr.. Nasts statement
he never had any trouble thinking of
subjects. On the other hand. enc OF
his best known cartoons was of him
self, "Our artist trying to think of
something funny" 1t represented him
seated at table in perspiring despair.
Besides his work with the pencil. he
painted In oil and water colors. One
Of his pictures in oil was done. for Sir
Henry Irving.
At one time Mr.. Mast was fairly Well
Off, but he lost much of his savings in
the Grant & Ward failure. After that
he went around the country lecturing
and making rapid cketches for his
audiences. In May he accepted the
post of consul general at Guayaquil,
Ecuador, and left New York July /.
Mr.. Nast's home is at Morristown,
N. J. His wife, who is an invalid, lives
there with their son Cyril. Another
son, Thomas Mast, Jr, is now on the
road sketching on the stage, as his
father once did. Mr.. Mast leaves two
daughters, one of whom is Mrs. Fitz
John Porter, Jr., of Montclair.
