KEPT HIS NERVE.
The Lecturer Was Equal to the Occa-
sion when Asked an Embar-
RAISING Question.

The late Isaac Bromley, noted ed
ltoria writer, was cool, calm and col
lected." Seldom was he put into place
so tight that his nerve" did not dis
close an open door. The New Haven
Register tells this story of the way he
once saved himself: Bromley was
occurring before a local institute in
Litchtield county, Connecticut, upon
rip he had recently made to California
and the Yosemite valley, and concluded
with a beautiful description of the
Bridal Veil falls, which so charm all
Who visit them. AS he took his seat
le was surprised to see the man who
lad presided over the meeting step
Onward and say: In accordance with
our usual custom we shall now be glad
to hear any questions that the lecturer
may be desired to answer in relation
to the subject upon which he has been
talking At this tall, redheaded man
rose in the audience. and with a rasp-
ing voice said: 1 would like to ask the
lecturer the exact he ght of the Bridal
\eil.' Bromley, who had expected
nothing of this kind, and was never
strong in figures, was entirely taken by
surprise, but gave no sign thereof as he
rose and advanced to the front of the
platform and cOolly answered: Il did
not measure them, but as nearly as
can remember the exact height is 361
feet 91a inches.' No further questions
were asked"

HEINZE WINS SUIT.

The decision of the supreme cour,
In the Minnie Healy case ends one Of
the most celebrated aud bitterly Tough,
mining suits in the history of Montana.
The court finds that MIR. Heinze Is
legally entitled to the Minnie Healy
mine, q Butte property valued at from
$40, 0OO, 900 to Sl5, OOO, 900.
In the litig alton affecting this prop
erty there have been sensational de-
velopments which attracted public in.
terest to an extent that made the war
between the big copper magnates a
factor In politics. In many parts OF
the state the voters were divided into
Heinze and anti.Heinze factions, their
ballots being cast with a view to ex-
pressing the views of the voter as to
the respective merits of each side in
this mining litigation.
The possession of the Minnie Healy
was the great feature of the fight be-
tween these rival mining interests.
The property has been in litigation
about six years, and in connection
with the proceedings an attempt was
made to secure the impeachment OF q
district Judge by the state Legislature.
Disbarment proceedings were also
brought against a prominent Montana
attorney employed by n of the par
ties to the suit, and a criminal charge
vas made against the son of a United
States senator for an alleged attempt
to influence q Judge who had the Min.
ME Healy case under advisement.
1t was in connection with the Minnie
Healy case that a conspiracy is alleged
to have been formed by which it was
proposed to c q confession of NAL
feasance in Office from Judge Harvey.
According to an affidavit of the latter,
he was offered $3.50, 600 to admit tha'
he was under the influence Of thu
Heinze interests, and would %thereupor
resign from the bench. Scandalou.
allegations we're made against tn
Judge who tried this case, and The
supreme court on one occasion ordered
o new trial because of these reflections
upon the private life Of a Judicial
officer.
The decision in the Minnie Healy
case, of course, does not affect the
merits of other litigation between
these rival mining interests, but il
ends one feature of the strife that ha.
been a disturbing factor in the in
dustrial and political affairs of Mon
tana.

this magazine writer, grows to enor'
nous proportions, a specimen pic
tured in Mr.. Burbank's experiment
garden in California forming a mass
of vegetation some ten feet in height
and containing about 600 pounds Of
green forage. Still more remarkable
is the statement that the new species
of cactus produces fruit that will fur
nish nutritious food for man or beast,
aud in such abundan as to make it
an important factor in the supply Of
orchard stuff.
In cours of time the reprod uction
of this new species of cactus will have
progressed to an extent that will make
possible its distribution and cultiva-
ton among the ranchmen of the so.

then prove to be as great as claimed
by this magazine writer, it will be one
of the most valuable species OF vegeta.

Better Opportunities On This Side.
Spokesman Review.

Spokesman-R Review.
Farmers of the northwest occasion,
ally decide to try their fortunes il
similar work on the other side of the
International boundary line, but it II
yet to be shown that they have bene'
flied by the change. There are abou,
as many accounts of the people re-
turning from as of going into the new
country, and it is clear that q change
of base should not be made withou,
a careful preliminary investigation
that will fully acquaint the homeseeke,
with what he has to encounter.
Beyond a doubt there is al extensive
area of fine agricultural land in the
western provinces Of Canada, and i,
is destined to support a large and
prosperous population. Many who
have crossed the line and have taken
up homes there have probably i'm
proved their condition. But no farmer
should give up a good thing unless he
is certain of getting a better thing,
and the average farmer of the Pacific
northwest will probably be disap.
pointed If he expects to do better or
be more comfortable in the dominion.
Thousands of people have left the
sterile or WORKOUT lands of the eastern
states and to them the virgin soil of
Alberta and other Canadian provinces
has been a revelation. They have
been able to raise large crops, and
despite the isolation, have enjoyed q
reasonable measure of prosperity,
with all the comforts that could be ex.
pected by pioneers in a remote section
of the land.
But when a farmer in the northwest
states leaves fertile acres and q an
agreeable climate for land that is no
better and a climate noted for severe
extremes, he is doing what his best
judgment should tell him is a mis-.
take. It is natural for a man to desire
to improve his lot, but he should
assure himself positively that he is
to improve 1t by leaving the smiling
hills and valleys of the northwest
states for the bleak, chilly prairies of
western Canada.

Let Us he Consistent.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Has it occurred to the good brethren
of the cloth in Massachusetts, who are
Grating 50 loudly and inveighing so
pitilessly against Rockefeller and his
dollars, that the ground On which
their churches stand was stolen by
their ancestors from the people to
whom God had given it: They must
either admit that grand larceny Of
real estate or put in defense the theory
on which the Israelites justified the
campaign of Joshua on the other side
of Jordan, the massacre OF the Cana
antics, regardless of age, sex, or con-
dition. and the seizure of their lands
and other properties.
But our pious friends need not go
back SO far as the despoiling and ex-
termination of the red men in New
England and elsewhere to find lots of
trouble in working on their theory.
There are churches still standing, and
many othersthat are the lineal descend
ants of churches whose building funds
were, in whole Or in part, the proceeds
of lotteries. Harvard college was
helped in that way. But there is a
still more troublesome truth than that
awaiting the good men who think they
have a grievance against Rockefel-
ler's money. Much Of the money that
helped in the building of churches and
the support Of the gospel in New Eng
land in earlier times came out OF
the slave trade.
Have those brethren such a spite
against their ancestors as to impel
them to condemn all the old.time
Christians who co%untenanced the rob.
berry and determination of the In,
dians, the operation of lottery schemes
in the interest Of religion, and the use
of money made in the slave trade tc
erect houses OF worship and pay the
salaries of preachers: Let's try to be
consistent. If we must have the his.
tory of the dollars that are offered fol
promotion of religion, if they mus,
have been honestly earned by the mar
who tenders them, let us, so far as
possible, free ourselves from con.
domination due to those who know
ingly accept the usufruct Of practices
which we regard as wicked.

BULLET GREETS WIFE.

Back Hounds Himself.
fBy Telegraph to the Tribune.I

GloversvIlle n. Y. Sept. 2O.-In At of pre-
surnably jealous passion, Morris King wealthy
retired Hebrew glove manufacturer Of this city
seventy-two years old, tonight shot his wife in
the back and sent bullet through his own
brain The wife's wound may be fatal. Mr.
King returned to his home shortly before 6
O'clock Mrs. King was waiting the piazza.
He greeted her cordially and gave her even
ing paper to read. She opened the paper and he
stepped behind her. drew a revolver and shot
her in the back. She Immediately fell to the
floor unconscious. He, thinking her dead,
placed the revolver to his right temple and sent
a bullet into his brain. He win die before mid
night. the doctors say
The queer jealousy Mr.. King has long enter
tanned regarding his wife is the cause of the
trouble. Mrs. King is nearly the age of her
husband and the mother of two married daugh-
ters Mr. King thought other paid too
much attention TO her. On several occasions Mr.
King. who has reputation for good nature and
a kind disposition, has threatened men whom he
imagined were devoted to his wife.
Mr.. King has long held prominent place IN
the business world of this section of the country.
He is well known in Network, where he has
had large interests in the glove trade for many
years. He came TO GIoversvfIIe when the glove
trade in Fulton County in its infancy, and
from comparative poverty worked up a big
business
