Miss Frances Wilson, who recently
became the wife of Charles Huard, a
French artist, under circumstances
charmingly romantic, was in her child
hood a close friend Of Eugene Field.
The poet Journalist was very fond of
children. To this fondness innumerable
children's poems in his daily Sharps
and Flats column bore witness. And in
his frequent visits to the Wilson resi-
dence no one welcomed him more
warmly than the little girl.
She said of him the other day: @

NEW YORKS SCANDAL.

Norman Hapgood, editor of Golfers
Weekly, has been acquitted in the libel
suit which has distracted the intellect of
New York's smart set from the opera
and the automobile show Golfers
Weekly has been denouncing Town
Topics, which forms the principal part
of the reading Of the metropolitan four
hundred, as a sheet "of which the Occur
patton is printing scandals about people
who are not cowardly enough to pay
for silence" The libel suit was brought
by Judge Deuel., whose connection with
Town Topics caused Golfers to say:
Every day he Sits upon the bench is
a disgrace to the state that endures
him" Ten minutes were sufficient time
for the jury to decide that Golfers
was guilty of no libel, because its
charges were true. Judge Deuel. is down
with nervous prostration. He has join
ed the large class of men Of high station
who are learning the lesson that the
way of transgression is hard and that
the contempt of decent people is a ter

The chief interest is not in the vul-

carcass that attracted them There
have been more corrupt societies than
the enormously rich Of New York and
Newport and their iinitators. but never
a society whose vice and folly have had

pitiful vanity. emptiness and material
ism Of their social life. They spend
their money as basely as they make it.
There are indeed rich men in New
York and elsewhere whose accumula-

and rich men and women whose social
life is a general social benefit. But the
class upon which such scandalous news

organized a nine Monday evening

given by Julesburg on the -ith.
Parton Brothers began laying
cement walk on the west side of
Main street last week. We un
derstand that they have contracts
for about 600 feet of seven foot
sidewalk, which will make very
substantial improvement to the
town.
A band of gypsies struck town
Monday night. The outfit con-
sisted of half a dozen wagons and
about twenty-five men, wom-
en- and children. Failing to work
their usual methods of graft,
they got up a horse-race with
Max Mailer Tuesday morning
and coming out behind Mr.. Nah
Ter in the race the rider of the
gypsies' horse dealt Max several
blows over the head with load
ed quirt, laying open his scalp
and partially stunning him for
the time. A warrant was imme-
diately sworn out for the assail-
ant before Justice Gyger and
placed in the hands of Arthur
Graham, special constable. In
the meantime the whole tribe
had taken flight /. eastward.
Julesburg and Chappell were at
once notified by telephone and
the chase began. A party was
started out from Julesburg to
intercept the fugitive, and met
the crowd near Weir station.
The fugitive again fed at the
first warning for the sand hills
across the state line. Several
shots were sent after him and a
subsequent search revealed his
dead horse a couple of miles dis
tant from the place, it having
been shot, but carrying its rider
out of the reach of the law be-
fore it dropped dead. On arriv-
ing at Julesburg Mr.. Graham
found the town thoroughly a
reused, the injury of Mr.. Nah
ler, who is well known at that
place, having been greatly exag-
Grated. If every community
was as prompt and persistent in
enforcing the laws against these
marauders we would soon not be
infested by these travelling
bands.
