Pope -Nisbett

On last Sunday evening, John I. Pope
and Miss Maud Nisbett were married at
the schoolhouse in Estancia. Rev. j.
w. Campbell pronounced the few and
simple, but beautiful words that made
them one till death. Just as Rev. R.
P. Pope closed the sermon and before
he could dismiss the congregation, the
bride and groom led by Miss Myrtle
Nisbett and Mr.. Robert Nisbett, sister
and brother of the bride, entered the
church and marched down the aisle,
halting before Rev. Campbell, who in a
few moments pronounced them man
and wife. Immediately the couple
turned and walked out, not giving their
many friends chance to offer congra-
tulations.
Miss Eulah Atkinson was to have
played the wedding march, but on a"
count of inclement weather it Wao La
possible for her to be present. The
bride wore white silk, and the groom
the conventional black. Supper was
served at the Nisbett ranch home north
east of town. The young couple left
on Monday morning for Glencoe, their
future home. "A Guest.

facio Bachicha.
Counsel for the defense made motion
to quash the indictments and also OBJ
jected to trial at Estanca, which were
filed, heard and overruled by the court
whereupon the trial proceeded
From the testimony it appears that
Clark and Mexican drove into Torrance
on the day of the shooting, going to
Davidson's saloon. Here they left their
rifles, but Clark retained his pistol.
An alteration ensued in the saloon in
which Chas. Gilbert came out second
best. (This matter was ordered
stricken from the records by the
court, later) When Gilbert went
home his mother tainted at sight of
him. His sister went to Chase's room
for aid. Chase started to the depot to
send some kilograms and get DR..
Michaels to see the Gilberts. While at
the ticket window, talking to Agent
Mayes, Mexican came in and words
passed between him and Chase. Mayes
asked them to have no trouble in the
depot as his family was up stairs, and
they left. Chase joined by Mcfarland,
started toward the Dunlavy store.
Mexican, joined by Clark followed,
and overlook the others. Words again
passed, followed by several shots.
Both Clark and Chase, it appears were
wounded in this affray,
Chase started for his room, Clark
and Mexican, going tothe saloon, getting
their guns and preparing to drive away.
Witnesses for the prosecution, say
that before driving away Mexican
took up his rifle and shot towards
Chase, whereupon Chase fell. Chase
was carried to his room, where he died
shortly after. Gilbert secured his gun
and sent several shots toward the de-
parting buggy of Clark and Mexican.
Witnesses for the defense say that
Mexican did not shoot at all,a but that

who swore that Chase had threatened

How to Get Good Roads.

We have no doubt that Governor
Woodruff will recommend a number
of measures of judicious economy,
based on business methods, and we
have faith to believe that the Gen
eral Assembly will put these into
effect He is quoted as favoring a
radical reduction of expenses in GER
tain directions where, with the lapse
of time, it has been developed that
too much goes out for what comes in.
All this will be fully approved by the
people; every business-like step will
be welcomed by a business people.
But we incline to hope that along
with economies there may come some
broad measures of expenditure
worthy of Connecticut and her in
telligence and civilization. There
are ways to save and ways to spend.
The latter can be as true economy as
the former.
No other thing could do more. If
any other could do as much, for the
State, as a system of intelligently
planned and honestly developed high
ways. 1t is tried maxim that roads
measure civilization, but it is as
true as ever. We have started in, in
a small and haphazard way, to i'm
prove our roads. What has been
done has already sufficed to silence
the objections so plenty at first. We
all know now what a good road is,
and realize what a benefit 1t may be.
But the little that we have is only
an invitation to more, and on more
comprehensive scale. Suppose that,
instead of cutting of such slice as
seems available from our yearly in
come and turning that into roadbeds,
we should deliberately create a State
good-roads debt, put out bonds for
the purpose, and go in to build good
roads all over the State on such
scale as would give us real system
within a few years. A representative
of The Courant once asked Murray
Crane, a wise, conservative man.
when he was Governor of Massachu-
sets, If he did not think the $1,000
600 a year which that State was put
ting into good roads was big lot OF
money to go that way, and the Gov
ernor's answer was that he wished 1t
was 100000.
1t sounds very neat and thrifty to
say we have no State debt; but a
debt for which we have got more
than our moneys worth indicates
better business management than no
debt and a lack of desirable-even
ecessary-things that we could have
If we would use orr credit to get
them. Courant.

Andy And The DlvvIe.

Mr.. Carnegie's various liberalities
have evoked many cersures, but none
more severe than one now laid upon
him OF being in league with Satan.
This has become a tradition i'm some
OF the remoter parts OF the Highlands
and In the Hebrides.
Andy" as Mr.. Carnegie is univer-
sally called, has, according to this
tradition, entered into pact with
the evil one to destroy Scottish re-
ligion by spreading the use of must
cal instruments and man-made
hymns.
1t is said that before returning to
his native country he asked Satan
how he could best aid him-whether
he should make folks dance, build
theatres in every parish or teach
them to play cards.
Ma, ma, Andy" replied Satan,
take a kist OF whistles to ilka
kirk (put an organ in every church) j..
Then my wurk wull gang weel
aneuch."
The fact that Mr.. Carnegie has
presented organs TO many churches in
all parts of Scotland, introducing in
strumental music and modern hymns
where formerly only psalms were
vocally rendered. is taken as proof
of the fulfillment of the compact

went to Weisbaden for the cure. Lily

Prince wrote to his father renounc-

the giving up of an income of a mill

Every pressure was brought to
bear to dissuade the Prince. Even

mo woman would wish to be head
of the house il she had to pay her
own milliner's bills" says one young
husband who has been taking his
first lessons in the arithmetic OF Paris
headwear. Because they seemed so
simple in construction he fancied that
two smart little headdresses his wife
had been wearing to the theatre
lately were homemade affairs. Re-
Gently he discovered they were pur-
chased from an importer and that
each cost twice as much as any of
the hats in her collection. One of
the high-priced affairs that is spe-
cially becoming to her blonde type
of beauty consists simply of a huge
chou of closely quilted white tulle
with blue and green humming bird
poised upon it as If for flight This
is worn at the left side toward the
front of the head, position where it
does not interfere with the view of
the theatre-goer in the chair behind.
The delicate tail plumage of the bird
curves gracefully down over the back
of the hair and a fold of the tulle
circles the knot of curls atop of the
head. In another headdress
straight upright band of silver net
embroidered in pearls is set in a
semicircle behind the waves of the
pompadour. Finishing it at either
end is a chou of white tulle. the one
at the left-hand side holding a clus-
ter of white osprey which droops over

used in the embroidery of the net
are in all sizes, from baroque to the

The Charm of Neatness.

Neatness is. one CT the most at
tractive Of feminine qualities. 1t is
also one of the rarest. Early and
persistent must be the training which
carries the girl into womanhood
with her bump of neatness" we'll de-
veloped. Unless inherently fastidious
during school days, she is liable to
drift into careless habits which she
never outgrows. One girl may have
a trick of leaving shoes about her
room. AS a mere tot she was per-
mitted to do this, and as she grew
older the untidy custom was never
abandoned, for the simple reason
that she herself did not notice any
thing unusual about it, and probably
nobody else took the trouble to cor
rect her. Another slovenly habit is
leaving a bunch of combings in her
comb or on her dressing table, says
Woman's Life. Constant vigilance on
a woman's part is necessary in these
small traits, unless she would be
Judged unworthy her birthright-
daintiness.
