HELENA, Mont, July 27.-F. Au-
gustus Heinze, the Copper King, .
may yet have to pay for an entertain
ment given several years ago at Sam
Martins place in Butte for which
the caterer put in a bill of 1900
for wines, flowers and FILINGS.
1t was in the palmy days of the re-
gime of the young Napoleon of fl
nance that the entertainment was
given in celebration of legal victory
over the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany, and when a short time later
the luck of the young Napoleon be-
gan to desert him he was not in a
position to pay the bill. He was,
however, it is said in a position to
dictate to Judge Harvey of the dis
trict court, who was elected to Of
fee on Heinzes ticket, and it was no
surprise, therefore, that Martin was
thrown out of court when he brought
suit on the bill, on the grounds that
he had refused to submit an itemized
statement

The affairs of the family have gone

SHAWMUT'S COURSE
MAY BE CHANGED

Since the report of the capture of
the steamship Calchas was published
last night the foreign shipping prob
lem has come in for good deal of
attention. The Calchas was loaded
with meats, flour and general mer-
chandise for Japan and other foreign
ports. Now that the vessel has been
taken into camp by the Russians, in
terest in behalf of the steamship
Shawmut, which left Tacoma about
week after the Calchas, has in
creased among Tacoma shippers. She
should be sighted off the Japan coast
by the first of next week. The course
taken by the Shawmut on this trip
is the regular northern route, which
will take her to the northeast of
Japan. If this course is followed
as usual it is thought she may be

1t was rumored this morning that
a dispatch boat is to be sent out to
intercept the Shawmut if the chances
of entering Yokohama are doubtful,
and possibly change her course to

1.-THE Word "Hussar."

Hussar is a Hungarian word mean
ing originally a freebooter or free
lance. These men, strong, active,
hardy, accustomed to capture and
tame herds of wild horses, were
brought into military service by Cor
cinus, the boy king, in 1442 and be-
came the finest body of light cavalry
in the world The suggested deriva-
ton from the Magyar-huzst, twenty,
and ar. pay Zone horseman raised by
20 families)-is only a fanciful one.
The name spread into all armies, and
hussars Of all nations are distin-
guished by uniforms of brilliant col
ors and elaborate ornament. Two
characteristics are the dolman and
the busby, with its scarlet cloth at
tachment, a survival of the narrow
Magyar bag, which fell over the left
shoulder as protection against sword
cuts.
The word dragon was first used OF
q regiment of mounted infantry, SO
called frDm the dragons or short mus
kets with which they were armed.
The head Of dragon, wrought on the
muzzle of the muskets, seemed to spit
IRE and ut one time was depicted on

Horse Twenty-eicht Years Old Doing
Good Service.

0OO0 oOi ViNSs
There is a horse in the town of Boyd
ton, Va. known as Morgan. which is
older than most of its inhabitants. He
was foaled in the month of April, in
the year 1876. in the county of Neck
lenburg.
Morgan has no claims to aristocracy,
and his pedigree is not recorded in the
books, nor is he entitled to registra-
ton, but for more than 20 years he has
been a faithful collector of taxes. his
master being the treasurer of the
county, to the first of January last.
Though Morgan is within a month
of being % years of age, he has until
now performed all the duties of any
horse. He has received no favors be-
cause Of age. and has met every en-
gagement in the time. and when not
engaged collecting taxes he was the
favorite driving horse Of the ladies
and children of the family. and in adj
dition hauled his own bedding and
wood for the winter. Mr.. Wells. Nor
gan's master. thinks his horses long
life and fitness for service is due to
methodical attention and treatment;
that he discovered the exact quantity
of food, particularly grain, necessary
to keep him in the best condition.
