: As a Method of Keeping

Paris. Oct. 13.-Paris is accustom-
ed to the crimes Of passionate, injur-
ed wives, deserted sweethearts, and
BETRAYED husbands, who know they
can kill the offenders with impunity,
being sure of acquittal, but this week
the city had a novel sensation in a
case of misconduct, which carried
with it the punishment most dreaded
by Frenchmen-public ridicule.
Nine. Passier, is in Beaujon hospi-
tai. a victim to jealousy. She and
her husband had been invited to a
wedding. The evening before she re-
ceiyed from her dressmaker a gown
so ill-ftting as to be absolutely I'M
wearable, and remarked to her bus
band:

Husband Plans to Go.
You can't, but l can," replied the
husband, preparing dress shirt and
evening clothes, after the French
fashion for daytime weddings.
Nine. Passier wept, implOred,
threatened, in a vain attempt to
make her husband change his deter
mination. In the morning the hus-
band, on dressing, glanced into the
mirror and nearly fell in fit on find
ing his face deeper yellow than the
yellowest Ch'inaman During the
night, his jealous spouse had painted
his face with iodine.
Beside himself with rage, the hus-
band beat his wife. She gained her
point, however, for although she
went to a hospital, he went to prison
and not to the wedding.
Meets Dashing Young Man.
The boulevards are also chortling
over the adventure of a young mar
ried woman, who made the acquaint-
ance of a seemingly elegant and very
wealthy young man.
He called on her the other evening
and suggested stroll in the Boise de

the wife acquiesced. In a sequester-
ed spot Of the park a man CARRIED like

to drag them to a police station for
misdemeanor.
The offcious individual was the &C
complete of the elegant young man,
who, while protesting, made gener-
Gus offers of money to spare the lady
humiliation. at the same time asking
the woman to remove her jewelry as
a pledge of good faith pending pay
ment Of the money promised.
She gave up $4,000 forth of jewelry
to the man in uniform. Later, be-
ing persuaded as to the real character
of her polite acquaintance, she
placed the matter in the hands of the
police, who recovered part of the jew
elry. But she is likely to lose her
husband, who is suing for divorce.
An American woman is said to
have had a similar experience in the
forest of Fontainebleau, but the mat
ter was hushed up, as she made no
attempt to recover the property lost.

that certain publishers. who had
urgent business to attend to at home,
might catch the east bound passenger
at Devils Lake. the return trip was
quickly made and our train pulled
into the city the same time that No.

accompanied the editors to Devils
Lake and there was no lack of instru-
mental music on the return trip, not
to mention vocal selections from such
cultured vocalists as Small, Stone,
Hagar, Lampman, De la Bere, Parke

The editorial party was imme-

citizens who provided carriages for a
drive to the brick works and other
points of interest about the city.
The three days meeting concluded
with q ball at the armory in the
evening, which was attended by the
editors and their wives and by citi-

Editor Pierson, of Granville, Enjoyed
It Immensely.


From the Granville Record.
Probably few press associations in
the United States have ever been bet
ter or more Hospitality entertained
than was the North Dakota Press as
ISOLATION at Devils Lake and Chau-
tauqua last week. On every hand
and at every turn courtesies we're lib
orally showered upon the pencil push
ers, their wives and sweethearts, and
memory of the three days spent as
guests Of the big hearted Ramsey
equity people will ever remain fresh
in the minds and hearts of members
of the association who attended the
meeting.
Arriving at Devils Lake, the trip of
five miles out to the Chautauqua
grounds, on the north shore of North
Dakota's highly priced inland sea,
was made over the Devils Lake and
Chautauqua railway. Right here it
may be stated that the Chautauqua
has become a mighty big affair.
Eight years ago, when the writer last
visited this assembly, it was a little
affair run on a little scale. It's en-
tertainments were held in a tent seat
ing only three or four hundred people
and only a dozen families resided in
tents and cottages IN the grounds.
At the present time two and three
thousand people each afternoon and
evening are entertained in a mammoth
auditorium, the largest, it is said, of
any Chautauqua assembly in existence.
The Fl. Totten Indian band is on the
grounds continuously and gives out-ot
door concerts mornings, afternoons
and evenings. Tents and cottages dot
the shore line of the lake for mile:
around. in which reside thousands of
North Dakotans during the entire sea
son. Hotels and restaurants have
hundreds of people as their guests who
go to the Chautauqua for an ovel
Sunday outing or a few days recrea
ton. On the grounds all the neces-
sites and luxuries of life can be pur'
cased at a moderate price. Besides
the daily entertainments at the audi
forum there is a variety of other at
fractions and many amusements and
r~ecreations to be INDUCED in. Cap
tain Heerman's two steamers ply be
tween the Chautauqua grounds and
old Fort Totten Indian reservation anc
many other points of interest.
There is boating and bathing, shoo1
the shutes, toboggan slide, bowling
alleys and numerous other pastimes
During the entire Chautauqua season
of % days, an excellent and varied
Literary and musical program is on al
the auditorium, the talent being bigt
salaried and high class without ex
ception. Unlike eight years ago, tn
Chautauqua today is a big affair OF

hospitality, the lake calm and the day
perfect.
The trip on the lake included the
entire morning, during which Captain
Herman stood at the wheel and guild
ed the boat which several times was
brought within a short distance of in
~teresting points on the lake, including
the Fort Totten Indian reservation
and buildings. 1t was a little after
noon when the boat pulled in to the
dock at the Chautauqua grounds and
the cheers from the newspaper boys
for Captain Herman were loud and
long. The president of the press as
ISOLATION incidentally seated for Cap
tain Heerm an that newspaper money
was no good on either of his steamers
and that the press fraternity was al
ways welcome. Captain Herman,
by the way is honorary life vice
president of the association.
Following the meeting the spacious
dining rooln of the lakewood cafe was
the scene of a banquet given by the
{ nautauqua association, in which, the
members of the press association par
ticipated. It was a feast fit for the
celestials. The tables were decorated
with flowers in profusion, and loaded
with all the good things the market
afforded. Socially, the occasion wae
a most delightful one, and one long
to be- remembered by those present.
Wednesday morning concluded the
stay at the Chautauqua grounds and
! at a little after ten O'Clock the edi-
tors arrived at Devils Lake, there to
be further entertained. A special
train on the farmers railroad was
in waiting and conveyed the party t.
the school for the deaf, a short dis.
lance from the city. Here the party
became the guests Of Superintendent
Bangs. A brief meeting was held in
the chapel, when several business
matters were disposed of by the asso-
citation. Congr. sma Spalding was
! present and delivered a brief but in
teresting and instructive address.
A banquet rendered by Superinten-
dent and Mrs. Bangs in the spacious
dining room of the building come
next in the continued round of pleas
ure. The tables were loaded with
good things to tickle the palate and
profusely decorated with flowers, and
the air of informality that prevailed
seemed to add to the appetites of the
newspaper folks. At the conclusion
of the feast the party visited the var.
ious departments of this great state
institution, which is so ably conduct.

London, Aug. 24.-The proceedings in
 the case of Whitaker Wright, the com

 Informally opening for the prosecution, Horace E. Avor. senior counsel for the Treasury, described the circumstances of Wrights departure for New York, and his extradition and said the broad facts of the prosecutions case were that Wright, being managing director of the London and Globe. British-American and Standard Exploration companies, used these names as suited his purpose for stock exchange speculations and engaged wholly in fictitious transactions. Counsel added as evidence that Wright controlled all the financial operations of the com panies; that the much-discussed speech of the late Lord Dufferin at sharehold- CTS meeting was written by Wright. Mir AVor concluded with saying that the losses of shareholders in the capital of three companies amounted to S25. .OOO 0OO and that of 3S,750 shares of the London and Globe finance corporation originally held hy Wright. he appeared only to pos sess 2.500 shares at the time of the col lapse of the concern.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The local market for cotton futures opened quietly but firm in tone Monday. with first prices at a decline of points for August. The later options were unchanged to 6 points higher. as a natural result of better cables from the English mar ket There was also some support from the bull clique while private advices from the Fall River district regarding the probable rate of consumption were generally more satisfac- tory On the better levels offerings increas- ed somewhat, but the long stun coming out was generally well taken, and firm under tone, prevailed in some of the more active po- sitions- The new crop months were bought an 8 moderate way by certain timid shorts Some sections of the belt sent bullish reports complaining of too much rain. There was also some talk that the weekly government report will be in favor of the bulls and this brought about moderate buying for the &C., count of the smaller shorts. The spot mar kets were steady, though there was no spe- cial feature, excepting the demand from spin ners, which was quite fair, considering. the high prices. The movement of cotton contIn- ned moderate. For the week the port re- ceipts were figured at 2ooo bales against ,- 642 last week. and 6o.ooo bales last year. The late market was firm in tone. but on the close the feeling little mixed.
