TIE LADY AND THE LAWYER.
Fable Which Proves That 1t Is Hard
To Outwit Woman.

Once upon time a woman wanted
a divorce.
| She was a very rich woman and
had married for love. This is a pos
tive fact.
| But her tenderness had never devel-
oped to the extent of letting her hus-
band loose to her safe deposit vaults,
but he had hopes
Yes he was the same struggling law
yer that he was when she first met
him. -a.e
Hence the shock vas as if he had
crossed Forty-second street in it's
present peaceful state when she first
sprung her intention on him.
And he strenuously objected.
You haven't the slightest grounds"
he cried Indignantly.
Il may not have the grounds she
replied, ''but I have the money
you are simply tired of me-" he
said "It is your caprice
In this the woman recognized the
fact that for once in his life lawyer
had spoken the truth-even though
he was husband
81 know it, she admitted. Il am
la woman. And don't forget I mar
ried you for love-
So she let the matter drop for
few days, cudselng her brain to find
an easier way.
Her cudgeling was rewarded by an
Inspiration.
She went to her husband and said:
81 shall get my divorce in spite of
you. And, furthermore, you Will aid
me-
*'Never!" protested the man.
Listen. l shall engage you as ms
counsel: and you cant jeopardize your
reputation by losing your case-your
first, I believe of its kind
Dazed asronish nlent for the hus
band.
81 shall decline your case, madam.
Your plan is preposterous.' he said.
You won't decline it, said. the

Vienna Wars On Partisan Fashions.


Vienna is in arms against one Of
the most time-honored prerogatives
of Paris. In the world of feminine
costume French taste is still supposed
to be as great a worldwide domino
ton as la grande nation once aspired
TO be in politics. and the ladies of the
great world of the Austrian capital are
leagued together to compass its over
throw at least as far as Vienna is con-
cerned. a society has been formed
and the word has gone forth that
henceforward costumerie for Viennese
women shall be made no where else
but in Vienna. The Archduchess
Maria Josefa and the Princess of
Croy are at the head of the movement,
and an exhibition is now being held
in support of it. This, it is hoped,
will be the Leipsic Of the Napoleons
of fashion.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

It would seem from the reports brought to this city by Panama miners that they have had their troubles in the new country during the past winter. A party of min CTS arrived here on the Saidie and left last night on the Garonne os- tensibly to purchase supplies for the whole country. Their tale of woe is as follows:
 That last fall many miners de- posted before navigation closed various amounts with the company stores contracting for the delivery during the winter for certain sup plies at an agreed price. Later in season when 1t became apparent that the supplies were inadequate for the camp it is claimed that the companies refunded the deposit S and refused to deliver the supplies at the contract price. The miners state that they were thus obliged to pay nine or ten times the regu- lar price for supplies this winter on that account.
 After the cleanup this spring d monster mass meeting was held and committee was appointed to go to Seattle and purchase SUD- plies for next season. The sum of $S,OO0 was raised and turned over to the committee. They have char tered the river steamer Monarch and will ship in the goods at once. It is the intention to sell these to miners who are members of the or ganization at actual cost prices.- Nome News.

New comes from the outside by the passengers on the steamer Whitehorse that several of the highest officials in Alaska have been reappointed by President Rooserelt for another term. Among them are United States Marshal C. G. Perry: United States Marshal ]. NJ. Shoup, of the southeastern Alaskan district; Surveyor-General A. l.. Distin. c. l.. Vawater, for merly United States Marshal at Nome, now here enroute to Tan ana, says the news was printed in outside papers.
 The same report has it that Judge James Wickersham and Melville Brown, while not yet re-appointed have not been displaced. Investi gation is to be made of their offices, and it is thought their re-appoint- ment is held in abeyance for that reason. The terms of other officials than those mentioned do not expir until next year.
 MT. Perry says he Is confident Judge Wickersham will be reap pointed. He says the Judge has aot I superior in Alaska, and cer- .ainly will retain his position. Neme News

The contract for Postal route No. 7Sl17 calls for the carrying of the mail from Seward to Hope and Sunrise. and through the courtesy of the contractor mail is delivered to minors and prospectors along the route. The contract is for a winter service of one trip month, is Il very necessary one, and well carried out so far as it goes, but it by no means fills the requirements.
 There are millions of dollars worth of mining property in that section that is now being extensive ly developed, and Il large amount of money is being invested in the work, The capitalists interested arc of all parts of the country. The managers of these properties arc on the ground during the sum- mer, but the business interests of many of them demand their pres ence in the states during the win ter season owing to the inirequency of the mail delivery. Those who remain find eonstant aud frequent communication is absolutely neces- sary, as much depends on instruc- tions and information going both ways.
 Under prevailing conditions if a mo:t urgent letter is sent from Hope or Sunrise to any of the east ern states demanding an immedi- reply. it is more than likely that the reply will not reach it's destina- ton in less than two months from the time the letter left either of the above named places. This proves a vast inconvenience and at times 2 loss of money to the parties in- tcrested.
 1t is up to the postal authorities 10 overcome this difficulty by estab- fishing at least two deliveries q month.
 There is no other factor that so tends to build up the country as good mail service. No matter how rich the country may be, men will be constantly on tha move to and from the states, but given a good mail service, where they can be sure of frequently being in touch with their people, they will settle down contentedly and very likely have their families with them.
 There is a good, sturdy. energetic class of people ai the head of Cook Inlet, who are doing much to build up that section of the coun- try, and the government should help them by establishing at least twice a month mail service for winter months.

FIRST SOLDIERS KILLED IN KENTUCKY.
II was In Zollicofer's Repulse at Wild Cat.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: read with
a good deal of interest the many claims
made by the surviving soldiers of the civil
war. Many of them fairly illustrate the
weakness of human mind. after Il period of
40 years. However. many are sustained by
facts. but too many are not. Arrayed with
the latter l find the claim of Comrade
Edwin Forbes, of the 18th Ky, that Gran
vile e. Allen. of that regiment, was the
first Union soldier killed in battle in Ken
tucky. lie attempts to strengthen his
claim by quoting the following paragraph,
from an address delivered at Louisville,
KY. in February, 1862, by Col McHenry,
of that regiment:
"'On the 29th of Oct. 1861, crossed
the Green River with two companies of
my regiment. expecting to attack a cavalry
outpost stationed at Woodbury.. We en-
cOuntered a scouting party near Morgan
town, and exchanged shots with them One
of our party. Granville Crawford Allen,
was killed outright. This was the first clash
of arms. and Allen was the first Union
soldier killed on Kentucky SOIL"

has no foundation in fact.
