with many others-I have always regarded
his treatment Of Dido as in the highest
degree reprehensible.
Had he lived in later times, there is
no doubt in my mind that the unhappy
woman would have had no difficulty in
securing from almost any kind of a jury
a verdict for $50 600 damages in breach
of promise suit. In the face of all this
all that the hero of Virgil had to say
when the news reached him of Dido's de-

4 Jest of Edward W.
T HAS always been my private opinion
that his majecty King Edward VII,
of Great Britain, had he not been
born to the purple, would have attained
to the highest honors as a humorist, and
in time had he SO desired, might have
become the editor of Punch.
For certain reasons l have deemed it
wise to omit this anecdote from the Eng
lfsh edition of my memoirs but 1 see no
reason why 1t may not with propriety be
published in the American edition. In
company with myself and a number Of
others the king attended a performance
in London last summer of Shakespeare's
tragedy, Richard H. with the famous
Mr.. Tree in the title role.
His majesty was much impressed by
the production, but one of his suite sug-
gested that in certain respects the i'm
personation of Richard smacked of lese
majeste.
"Oh, think not replied the king, "or
at least it isn't high treason. It's only
a sort of Beerbohm Treeson."

Snnp from q Tree.

United States Consul Mahin at Not
tingham, England, has furnished the
Department OF State with an account
OF an enterprise In Algeria to manu-
facturc natural soap on a large scale
from a tree known as "saplndus
utilis." This plant, which has long
been known In Japan, China and
India, bears fruit OF about the size
OF a horse chestnut, smooth and
round. The color varies from a yell
lOwish green to brown. The inner
part Is OF dark color and has an oily
kernel. The tree bears fruit in it's
sixth year and yields from 80 to 25O
pounds Of fruit, which can easily be
harvested in the fall BY using water
or alcohol the saponacous ingredient
of the fruit Is extracted The cost OF
production is said to be small and the
soap, on account Of possessing no aka.
line qualities, Is claimed to be superi.
or to ordinary soap OF commerce.

Happy Household,

In sweet communion and unshaken

is not face missing. Death has never
visited this home. The hour of re-
tiring comes, and blessed with fathers
instructions and mothers prayers, the

A PITCHED BATTLE
In Which a Number of Union MiLers
Are Killed
AT THE TOWN OF DGNvILLE, COL.
Soldiers Securing the Mountains, and
tho Miners Firing Upon Them.
Intense Excitement in
Mining Region.
Mining Region.

A pitched battle between the MILL
tarY and union miners was fought at
Dunnville, the new mining camp, l3
miles out of Victor, Colorado, shortly
after o'clock p. m. Wednesday. John
Carley, unfoc miner, was killed and
hve Others. The troops returned to
victor at 8 o'clock Wednesday night
bringing with them ii captives.
Before the special train left Victor
bearing the force under Gen. Bell 1t
was reported that the Miners in the
hills about Dunnville numbered about
25O men, and that it was their inten-
Uion TO march into Victor Wednesday
night In body and attempt to libe-
rate by force the inmates of the tenn
porary bull pen" in Victor. That
the force actually consisted of but 81
men Is the statement of one Of the IA
who were captured by the militia.
The train proceeded in the after
| noon TO the immediate vicinity of
Dunnville without unusual incident.
| When about quarter. of q mile dis
tant from the Dunnville temporary
station the officers could see the camp
or the miners. It included one cabin
and six or seven tents. The officers
left the train at the command of Gen.
Bell and prepared to advance upon
the camp Of the unionis.s in regular
skirmish order. AS they emerged
from the cut in which the train had
cone to a stop they were greeted with
volley OF shots which came from
points Of vantage surrounding the
hills.
The deputies returned the fire and
promiscuous shooting was INDUCED in
for period OF ten minutes. From
the character of the shooting from
the hills Gen. Bell Immediately recoR-
nized the fact that the strength of
the miners had been greatly overestf-
mated and that he had sufficient force
under his command to make an i'm
mediate roundup and capture the en-
tire opposing force.
The captured miners include John
James, charged with shooting Jobu
Davis in the riot at Victor. Among
the dead was John Carley, a union
miner Of Cripple Creek. Great excite-
ment prevailed in this city upon the
receipt Of the news of the battle.
The deputies secured the arms and
ammunition Of parts of the miners.
AS the special train bearing the
deputies drew UP at Dunnville the
union miners, entrenched In the neigh
borhood, opened fire. Gen. Bell got
his men out and Stormed the entrenct-
ment, capturing Is, the arms and am.
munition being captured. In the
fierce fight which followed six union
miners were killed.
The miners occupy we'll entrenched
positions In the hills and are shooting
down at the soldiers and guards at
every opportunity. The surrounding
country is favorable to the miners,
and 1T seems that Gen. Bell will have
to take every defense separately.

Boy Heroes.

At Great Darlington, Mass, the
wrecklng Of the Pittsheld- New York
express with the almost certainty
of a great loss Of life, was barely

boys. An unusually severe rain storm
had undermined the tracks of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad on the outskirts Of the town
and carried away 25 feet of the road

covered by the youths shortly before
the express was due at this station.
The boys ran to their homes nearby
and procuring red sweater returned

Town at Auction.

Unless the courts intervene, the
entire town Of Carlisle, Arkansas, and
about $500 acres of land surrounding
the town are to be sold at public auc~
tion on an order granted by the pro-
bate court Of Lonoke county to the
heirs of the original owner. The order
was secured by the guardian of three
minor heirs OF a Frenchman, named
Comic, who years ago owned all the
land on which the town of Carlisle
now stands, as we'll as much OF the
surrounding country. The original
owner sold much of the land years
ago, but in 1879, presumably to make
title clear. he secured patent from
the state for the whole tract. He
failed, 1t is said, to make new deeds,
for the land which he had sold, and as
a result the heirs now claim the prop
erty. Three OF the grandchildren of
the original owner, who reside in Lou
isiana, claim an undivided sixteenth
Of the property, and through their
guardian secured an order for the sale
OF the whole tract.

Sad Affair Near Monroe.

The Monroe On. G Journal says a
most distressing thing happened near
Unionville last Friday night in the
death OF Annie, the IL year-old
daughter Of Mr.. II. j. Price, and the
circumstances which brought about
this result. The child was thought
to have dropsy, and while sitting on
the piazza in the afternoon, fell over
in convulSiOns, from which she never
recovered before death came at II
O'Clock that night. When this attack
came doctor was called, and the pa
rents first learned that crime,
which Is known to the law as felony,
had been committed upon the person
Of their child, and before she died
another life had been brought into
existence. The child mother gave no
indication as to who the perpetrator
was, and this seems now likely to fer
ever be a mystery, and If so, the
States prison will be cheated Of It's
just deserts. The occurrence Itself is
very unusual in medical history in
this climate, il not altogether une-
qualed, particularly as the offspring Is
of ordinary size, living and doing well.
