Telluride, Col, March 18.-Vincent
st. John, alias ]. w. Vincent, former
president Of the Telluride Miners
union and at present head Of the min
ers' union at Burke, Idaho, has arrived

charge, believing that will be prompt
ly acquitted by any fair minded jury.

and hope the authorities will expedite
matters as much as possible"
st. John was asked If he feared
lynching. WELL" he answered, with
a shrug of his shoulder, "a person can
only die once. l can't see any differ
ence in being strung up by mob and
being railroaded to the gallows on
false charge. The end is death, any

Say Steve Adams Is Crazy.
The Salt Lake Tribune correspond
ent at Park City, Utah, says:
Steve Adams, alias Adam Stevens,
who has gained much notoriety OF
late because Of his connection with the
Steunenberg case, resided in Park City
last June and worked as a miner at
the Daily West. On June 13, while
the family Of Arthur Hooper was in
Salt Lake City, Adams entered the
Hooper home and removed the furni-
ture. He was arrested and lodged in
the city Jail on the charge of house
breaking. 1t was thought at that time
that his mind was unbalanced, as the
furniture was removed in broad day
light and in the presence Of the neigh
bors. For this reason the charge
against him was reduced to petit lar
ceny and he was fined $25, which he
paid and left town.
While in Jail Adams talked freely
of his life, and stated he had been in
Cripple Creek during the trouble there.
He told persons here, 1t is alleged,
that he was familiar with the inside
workings of the union, and was one
of the three men chosen to assassi-
nate the three judges of the supreme
court of Colorado, Governor Peabody
and AdJutant Bell He told of having
been in Cripple Creek and said it was
he who placed the loaded revolvers in
the Vindicator shaft that resulted in
the deaths of Mccormick and Beck.
A photograph taken of the man in
Idaho has been recognized by several
who knew him there. He was not a
member of the local branch Of the
Western Federation of Miners and is
unknown to the officers of this union.
Adams was hard drinker and those
who knew him here are Of the opin-
ion that the man is insane.

The Social DeIiverance.
From the New York Mail,

FROM tDe New 10rk Aa1i.
The man or woman who habftualiy and
normally leads quiet life cannot fall to
be surprised and even a little shocked at
the statement that society people are hear
THY glad that Lent has come, because 1t
promises to give them little much-needed
repose. One-half the world not only does
not know how the other half lives-it can
not even comprehend the other halls mo-
tives, nor In imagination put itself In the
others place. That a religious ban should
be necessary to make people take q rest
from form Of wearying endeavor that
they need not make at all-that only costs
them money. worry and often illuess-is
surely difficult of COMPREHENSION to the
man of the quiet life.
A difficult matter for the society person
to understand, the other hand Is the
TACT that the man or woman who recogL
nizes no social duties" and derives no
pleasure whatever from assemblies calls
and the interchange OF more or less formal
ciVilities. need not, and generally does not
lead an unsocial life. Yet 1t is one thing to
keep entirely out of the social whirl and
another thing to be recluse and a skulk-
er. A social life In the uncorrupted sense
of the term. is a life amid companions
One may live quite heartily, agreeaby and
helpfully among ones fellows without the
slightest obedience to forms. and without
even making an engagement except as the
rarest of matters. 1t Is even possible TO
lead life full of the most gracious atten-
tons of social intercourse without subject
ing 1t to schedule, or spelling ones ease

Popular Notion Explodes.

From the Detroit News
1t has long been popular notion that
ciergymens sons are less likely to achieve
distinction in life than the children OF lay
men This Is probably due to the fact that
when q clergymans son goes TO the dogs in
a fashion that attracts public notice his
fathers calling Is always lugged into the
story, but when the son OF a lawyer or Of
a member Of any other profession dIsgraces
himself in similar way no account is taken
OF the relationship. Bishop Weldon has
proved the popular notion to be fallacy.
In an article which he has just published
In the FOrtnightly Review IN LONDON he
shows that against the $40 and S,1io chill
dren OF lawyers and doctors. respectively,
who have won emlnence in English history,
! $50 sons OF the parsonage have attained

American Women.

Mrs. Craigie. In the London Chronicle
American women take little or no interest
in politics, A woman taking keen inter
est in politics is really so rare as to be ab-
normal. Women play no part In the cleo
lions. 1t shows how adaptable American
women are that when they marry English
husbands and come here they generally
come to the front In electioneering.
What is the reason? Well. 1t simply Is
not the custom. All American men are in
terested in politics. whether they "a in for
custom for women to understand anything
either about politics or business. American
husbands, you know, never talk to their
wives about professional business affairs
And the wives interest themselves in liter
airy and musical and artistic matters AS
a result they have. perhaps. the finest opera
and the finest concerts In the world. And
of course in social matters the American
woman Is supreme.
Oh, no. am not at all sorry to be back
In England. I am very fond of England.
All mean is that in America men have to
subordinate themselves entirely to women 6
interests. / don't say the women are the
happier for it'll only say 1t Is the fact
Personally, / think the French method
where the wife Is told everything about the
money affairs. Is the best. OF course an
American woman may be spending money
iapishiy while her husband is in actual diff
ficulties-it often happens. The men take a
pride in seeing the women magnificently
dressed. and In giving them jewels and fine
houses. And yet the American man is not
at all destinations for himself However,
must say that IL American women meet
with great reyerses OF fortune they are al
ways very courageous about them; the
habit of mind is very philosophic In Amer
lea.
And they are always very bright and
vivacious and extremely adaptable.

est patriotic value. The amount paid for
the house was 5,ooo and the sum was con-
tributed by over one million persons, prin-
cipally school children. This is an average
OF two and one-haif cents each, not includ-
ing the cost of administration and coiiec-
ton. 1t would be interesting to know just
how much has been collected altogether for
the purpose. We imagine that the average
contribution was much larger than Is indi-
