BY means of the other a solemn visaged Phil"S-

Mckenzie Cleland on the bench of the Munich
pal court.
Judge CIeland imposed these sentences and re-
leased the parole instead Of decreeing a
fine and sending them to the workhouse. His
object as in nearly thousand similar cases,
was to reform them rather than punish the de-
PENDANTS. The wives concerned have Informed
the Judge that the reformation has been COM

not a little woman. but beside the braWny hus-

home everything is in order and the furniture Is
unbroken. But it was not always So
There was d time when Michael used to forget
to come home with his fat pay envelope at the
end of the week. When he did come 1t might be

whatever the hour it was not the weight of gold
that made him stagger the steps. His bur

sometimes let loose his wrath on the furniture

heroic measures to maintain the peace OF the
family and incidentally, to keep the furniture
together. She fled from her husband to Judge

PROPHETESS SEES
 TROUBLE FOR ZION

CHICAGO, March 15.-A new pro phetess" has arisen in Zion City fol lowing the death of Dowie. She is Mrs. c. I. Colman. a wealthy mem ber of the community. She predicts a terrible calamity in Zion if its peo- pie do not mend their ways and re- nounce worldliness to which Mrs. Col man declares they are returning.
 Her forebodings are based on wis ion in which she says she was visited by an angel of the Lord. She has a following among the Zion City peo- pie which grew substantially today as the hours passed away.
 A prominent member of Zion said today that the deposition of Voliva was possible as a move to re-establish the credit of the community. He pre- dicted the removal of the present gen. eral overseer might occur at 8 church conference next September. He declared the promotion of Voliva to the leadership had been a bad move and pointed out that the popu- lation of Zion City had fallen from 6500 to 4S00.

STRIKE IN PARIS
 AN EXPENSIVE ONE

PARIS, March 15.-An official of the bureau of charities which gets 10 per cent of the sums expended on amusements, estimates the loss to Pa. risian cafes, theaters and restaurants through the abortive strike of cleo tricians at s206.000 The trouble is over and the strikers gained nothing except the condemnation of the com mercial interests of the city and the opposition of the newspapers:
 Mt was virtually admitted by the strikers committee today that the men were forced to resume work through Premier Clemenceau's decla- ration that he would detail regi- ment Of engineers to run the electric plants unless the concifiation was ef- fected. This brought the strikers to realization Of the helplessness of their situation, which was bad from the start.
 Albert Sarteauv, representative of the new corporate electric interests, said: '.
 These people held us up by threats for concessions which we can't make until two months hence, because our situation toward the municipal coun- cil is not yet entirely clear"

BARS EARLY CHOICE OF
 SENATOR.

MADICON. Wis. March 15.-Attor- ney General Gilbert tonight sent the legislature an official opinion, in which he holds that the balloting for Senator Spooner's successor can not lawfully begin before the second Tues day after the resignation takes effect. If the legislature follows this opin- ion the bailoting cannot begin be- fore May 14. Nearly all of the mem bers of the legislature desire to have the senatorship matter settled as soon as possible, and if they can find any way Of doing it before the date fixed by the attorney general they doubtless will adopt it. It has been suggested that the contest might be settled by holding an early caucus, the candi- dates agreeing to abide by the result, but the members are not ready to commit themselvs on the suggestion
 Isaac Stephenson arrived today and opened headquarters. He declared that he had the support of senator La Toilette. and said that any statement to the contrary was untrue.

OSBORN $ SURE
 \ VERY 0LD TIMER
Places Name on Deed for Same Property After a Lapse of 35 Years = Acting as Tuc- son Official Both Times.

It is the rare exception that a man
 should sign two deeds to the same lot
 and make the second. signature after a period of thirty-five years.
 Yet this Is what Judge William J. Osborne, who is one of the oldest pio-
 neers here, has done, says the Tucson Citizen. .-.-... ... ... -. Judge Osborne Tuesday afternoon
 acknowledged quit claim deed to a
 lot for which he had. thirty-fve years
 before affixed his signature as an off
 cial of the city to the original deed. It was on, September r, 1872, that the corporation authorities of Tucson by deed No. 343 conveyed to G. H. Oury, lot z in block 22S. This deed contained the signatures
 of Hon. Sidney R. De Long as mayor
 and William J. Osborne as city record CT. Although this deed was executed eleven years before the Southern Pa
 cific Railroad reached Tucson, both
 Messrs. De Long and Osborn are still alive and are hale and hearty and are
 seen daily on the streets.
 The first deed was not placed on record In the county recorders office,
 and as a result it became lost Re gently Fred Maish became the owner of the lot and he made application to Mayor Slack and the Council for du- plicate deed in order to make his titles to the property clear.
 Yesterday. afternoon before Judge Osborne as notary public Mayor c. F.
 Slack and City Recorder Frank Treat signed a quit claim deed to MT. Maish
 and thus Judge Osborne's7 name ap- pears on the deed to the lot again after
 period of thirty-five years.
