ONLY ~ OPTION TO WE'D.
not a Promise OF Marrias for Breach
OF Contract Falls.

Isaac Curtz, a Brooklyn clothing mer-
chant, took an option on the heart and
hand Of Mrs. Ida Schwartz Of this borough
two years ago He told her, as she says,
that he would marry her within a reason
able time. but that he would set the time.
She waited over a year and then sued for
S25, 900 for breach of promise. The suit came
on'for trial yesterday before Justice Clinch
in the Supreme Court ald Terence McManus
asked that the compla mt be dismt SEED, as
the alleged promise was not a promise,
but merely an option which the defendant
had declined TO avail himself OF. Justice
Clinch heard some argument on this point,
smiling the while, and then dismissed the
suit, upholding Lawyer McManus.

AGrI,s Reverie

The subjoined was found on the
street. The author can have it by
proving property:
''Tell me not in idle jingle, marriage
is an empty dream, for a girl is dead
that's single, andSthings are not what
they seem. Life is real, life is earnest,
single blessedness is fib; man thou art
to man returneth, has not been spoken
of the rib. Not enjoyment and not
sorrow is our destined end or way, but
act that each tomorrow finds us nearer
marriage day. Life is short and youth
is f1eeting, and our hearts though light
and gay, pleasant drums are beating
wedding marches all the way. In the
worlds broad field of battle, in the
bivouac of life, be not like dumb, driven
cattle, be heroine-a wife. Trust no
future, however pleasant-let the dead
past bury its dead. Act, act in the
living present, heart within and hope
ahead! Lives of married folks remind
US we can live our lives as well, and de-
parting leave behind us lots of kids to
shout and yell, such examples that
another wasting time in idle sport, a
folorn, unmarried brother, seeing, shall
take heart and court. Let us then be
up and doing, with heart on triumph
set, still pursuing, still contriving and
each husband get.

ToPsY WOODS SUICIDE.

A dispatch from Montrose states
that Topsy Woods, the young lady
whose love affairs and whose SEN
sational arrest on the charge of at
tempting to poison Edward Kellar
and his young bride, has attracted
great attention not only in Montrose
county, her home, but throughout the
state, is dead at Salt Lake, having
committer suicide by drinking chloro-
form. Dependency over her love
affairs are supposed to have caused
her to kill herself Kellar. the young
stockman, whom it is alleged she at
tempted to poison, is supposed to
have Tilted her. Another report from
Salt Lake says there is no record OF
the girls suicide and that the re
port may have been sent out for OBJ
vious reasons. However, the first re
port is generally believed. The cir
was very pretty.

THEY EXPECTED 1T.

The dismissal of the case against
Vincent st. John in the Mesa county
district court. did not cause much
surprise in Telluride according to
Saturdays Journal which comments
on the matter as follows:
The expected happened at Grand
Junction last Tuesday when District
Attorney Hugo Selig dismissed the
case against Vincent st. John for
the murder of Burnham during the
1901 riots at the Smuggler- Union.
People of San Miguel county have
spent considerable money in this
cause and it would have been much
better to have spent little more
| and had a jury determine the man.
| guilt or innocense, instead of one
man doing it. Everybody in Tellu
ride knows that St. John melted the
riot in which Burnham lost his life
and is therefore guilty of something
if not murder.
However, a jury might have clear
ed him, as evidence at such times Il
prejudiced on both sides and it seeml
hard to convict in an uprising of thii
sort any way
