Tuthin advised the couple to drop
the divorce proceedings, bury their
differences and live in happiness
again.
Perhaps you are right, judge"
said the little old man, as he arose
from his seat and stepped toward
the little old woman.
MY dear, allow me-" he said, ex-
tending his hand to assist her from
the stand.
She took his hand, and he bowed
down with ceremony. Then he
Strengthened himself, and with old
time courtesy and dignity said: "Per-

He offered her his arm and together
they left the courtroom.

MIR. SMITH WINS NOMINATION..
Hot Times Among The Democrats
Both Sides Charge Fraud.

The Democrats of Richmond city are
IN one OF the worst muddles ever known
in this city. They held a primary on
Thursday, April 10th, for the purpose of
nominating city officers.
Mayor r. NJ. Taylor was renominated
over Mr. Carlton Mccarthy by an over
whelming vote. The bitter contest was
between City Sergeant James Q. Smith,
known as "Junky," because be is junk
dealer, and ex-City-Sergeant Claiborne
Epps.
Mr.. Smith won on the face of the re-
turns by an apparent majority of AZ. 1t
was then alleged that fraud had been
practiced in the End Precinct, Marshall
Ward or the polite way of stating it was
that an error of 9S votes had been made
IN that more votes We're returned than
there were voters in the precinct.
The City Democratic Committee or
dered a recount, not only in the Second
Marshall, but throughout the city with
result that other "eTrors" were discoy-
cred in the Second Precinct, Monroe
Ward and the Second Precinct, CLAY
Ward which gave Mr.. James O. Smith
a lead of 2S.

he declared, he was annoyed nightly by
loud smacks heard at frequent inter

DOG USED TELEPHONE.


The Albany IN. W Journal says
that a certain officer of an Albany cor

named Rags. 1t is very intelligent
animal, as all who know the dog will
admit, for it not only reads signs OF
a certain class OF beer, but when the
nine O'Clock bell rings at night it will
manage in some way to awaken its
master and lead the way to q place
where that particular beer is drawn
of course the dog wants the beer,
not master.
This famous dog, so the master says,
was locked up one day in the room oc-

House, O., seems to have taken all
that for granted.
The ceremony had been performed
and the happy couple were receiving
the congratulations of their friends
when the officiating minister hap
pened to think that he had not asked
to look at DR.. Avann's marriage
license. AS matter Of form, merely,
he approached the doctor and asked
him IN a joking way for look at his
license.
With horror in his face DR.. Avann
was forced to confess that he had
forgotten to take out a license. A
messenger was hastily dispatched for
the necessary papers. When he re-
turned a legal conference was held to
determine whether it would be neces-
sary to perform the ceremony over
again. The decision was that the rep
etition would not be necessary.

ENFORCE THE GRIEVANCES.

The NUGGET respectfully suggests to the city coun- cil that an examination be made Of the ordinances which have been passed during the past year. We venture 10 say that not few of the laws which have been passed will be found to be either dead aboucly or imperative. Now, if there be an ordinance which is more "honored in the breach than in the ob- servance" it is better that it repealed than to suffer it to be derided and mocked at.
 We need not in this article cite the particular ordinances which arc not enforced. These will be apparent 10 anyone who has at all familiarzed him self with the acts of the council of Nome for the past year. We simply refer to the matter at this time for the purpose of reminding the council (and incidentally the peopc) that ordinance it is passed is in full force and effect until il is repealed
 Nome seems to have passed the " wild and woody stage" of it's existence, It seems to be acquiring a permanent population. Business men are bringing hher their families and setting up their larcs and penates. All must bc protected. Vice must flourish because 1t cannot be eradcated, but it must be made to hide it's head far it is possible 10 do The time IS passed when 1t may be permitted 10 hout itself openly on the streets in public places, at all times without let or intolerance.
 In community of this kind we believe that wide latitude should be given, but it need not be all embracing No one man, as yet, owns this earth or Alaska, neither do any class of men.

WaTH HE COMING or SPRING.

No one, so far as we know has ever maintained that Nome made up of saintly community simply because the record for the maintenance of law and order has been most excellentone Opportunity, is said makes the thief; and, it may be added so does environment. Nome does not present an in- vting field for the operations of the professional criminal class, by of its location, and this is especially true of the winter season. The professional criminal has but limited field before him at the best in which to ply his trade; his chance of is small, and the possibility of detection is ever be- fore him, should he essay to "turn trick"
 The past winter in Nome has been marked by no more serious crime than that of petit larceny; but now that we are upon the of the opening of navigation, the tough who has been perdu the entire winter begins to feel more safe. As consequence daylight robbery is reported, safe being touched for a couple of hundred dollars or so Nome is said to have its full quota of criminals No doubt it has.
 The police officials can do no better than exercise renewed vigilance. All of the undesirable class are well known, and it is up the officials to see that that class of men who have no visible means of support who, in fact, harpes who prey upon their more fortunate fellows upon the weak and com parativcy helpless, should be given a." blue ticket" We can get along very we'll without them, and we will feel much safer by their enforced absence

The settlement of all international difficulties must sooner or later be brought about through the agency of arbitration: Modern means of offensive warfare have become destructive that all nations must sooner later to a realization of the fact that war is crime against humanity. In order to bring about practical realization of the hopes of the advocates of international arbitration it is only required that the present means of settling disputes between subsidiary states provinces be carried to its logical conclusion. In the United States forty five sovereign states have relinquished their in divdual right to make war and have vested the same in the federal governsnent-and the same thing is true of the colonial possessions of the British empire. When the rule now prevailing between the constituent parts of the great nations of the world is made to apply 10 the nations as a whole, then will come the day of universsl peace.
