once prepared notice of the loss and
posted it in the hotel lobby, Offering
to give the finder the money if he would
return a few keepsakes which were
in the purse. No one found the miss
ing article and the major was in des-
pair. While dressing to attend the
session he discovered that he was
wearing his customary garb and
accordingly changed. He then thrust
his hand in his pocket and drew out
the missing purse just as he had left
it. He secured the service of Repres-
entative Adams to remove the notice
from the lobby desk, and threatens
every one who inquiries if he has found
his purse, with loss of his friendship
if the inquiry is repeated.
During the meeting of the state Re-
tai!ers' association in this city gen.
tleman reached the city who was not
at all familiar with the fact, 1t seems,
that there were two state institutions
located here. He came from an in
surgent county and had been largely
instrumental in wrestling the power
from the politically ungodly and was
more than anxious to see the men
he had helped send to Bismarck maxi
ing laws for the redemption of the
state. He inquired how ne could reach
the capitol, and was directed to take
the car in front of the Northwest and
a no <Nf no h. II
step almost into the capitol building.
1t will be remembered that the street
car line runs to the capitol and 1t is
also Connected with the line to the state
penitentiary and on that day the trips
were being made both ways. When
the car stopped in front of the
hotel the visitor got aboard and
the car continued its journey toward
the penitentiary. When it reached that
institution, he rushed to one of the
guards whom he took for door
keeper and asked to see Mr. Blank. He
was informed that visitors were not
admitted at That time, and then he be-
came indignant, and stated that he
done all in his power to send the gen.
tleman inquired for to that place and
that IL he dealt out such treatment to
his friends there would be reckon

that there was no such man as he
asked for in the institution, and the
reply was that IL he was not there, he
ought to be- He returned to the city

man had come to the capitol to see
the sights and look in on the legisla-
ture. He was stopping at the North
west and the fact that during the
campaign he had spoken to member
of the house gave him an acquaint-
ance which he desired to have every
one he met know. At the hotel he was
the star attraction in his own judg-
ment and his pompous manner made
him the cynosure of many eyes. In the
dining room he proceeded to do the
killing act" with the lady mattresses
and attempted to impress upon them
his sublime importance and his fetch

az and a heavy emphasis. He con-
descendingly ordered consomme along
with some other delicacies which were

suer tastes. The consomme was serv-
ed in the regulation cup and, with the
remainder of the first course, was plac-
ed by his plate. When the second
course was served, the waitress placed
the cream for his coffee by his plate
and went to procure the coffee itself.
During this interval, the Beau Brum-
mel pompously poured the cream in
the consomme, and then placed in the
sugar, taking the delicately refined

with his coffee she innocently asked
what was the matter with his soup and

Beaver Protection Unpopular.

A few years ago law was passed
which protected the beaver in this
state during the entire year. At this
time there is a strong tendency to re-
peal his law on the grounds that the
closed season extending over num-
Der of years has permitted the animals
to increase to such an extent that they
are now destroying many of the young
groves in close proximity to the
streams in which they live. Some
amendment to the present law will
likely be enacted SO that tho number
may be reduced below the danger
point without entirely destroying the
species.

ADDED TO NAVY.
The Launching of the Birmingham at
Quincy, Mass.

Quincy, Mass. May 29.-It was an
interested party of southern men and
women which former Governor Joseph
+. Johnson of Alabama and Miss Mary
Campbell of Birmingham led to the
yards of the Fore River Ship Building
company today for the launching of
the scout cruiser Birmingham, the for
mer governor as the states representa-
tive, and the young woman as the
sponsor for the new addition to the
American navy. Included in the
christening party were Major James
w. Thirley, the representative of
Mayor Ward. and a score of other citi-
zens of Birmingham, together with the
parents and bevy of girl friends of
Miss Campbell.
The Birmingham, which is designed
to make speed of "A knots an hour,
the American navy. The estima ted
speed of "a knots, while slightly less
than that of the English scout cruisers,
is more than compensated for by the
ability to maintain the high speed in
all conditions of weather, and in adj
dition the American type of cruiser
has more than twice the coal capacity,
and therefore a far greater radius Of
action than the English scout.
The Birmingham is 420 feet over ALL
46 feet inches in breadth and has
draught of 10 feet. The total coal
ca pacity is 1.250 tons and her steam
ing raQluS at Iull speed is estimated at
1875, or $3.50 miles at 10 knots an
hour.
1t is estimated that she will develop
10000 horse power.
The hull is built of steel throughout
with two longitudinal bulkheads and
five decks, the main and berth decks
being continuous from stem to stern.
Her battery will consist of two five
inch and six three inch rapid fire guns
and two 81 inch submerged torpedo
guns. Her motive power will be de-
rived from vertical engines with four
cylinders. triple expansion type, and
she will have the usual twin screws.
The Birmingham will be distin-
guished by her two pole masts and her
four short smoke stacks.

weather and not by bugs. They did a
great deal to injure the crop in Okla

De RAGLAN A WOMAN.
ELIMINATION of the Body Settles the
Controversy Permanently.

Phoenix, Ariz., May 29.-The body of
Nicolai de Raglan, whose sex has been
the subject of dispute and litigation
since last December, was exhumed and
taken to an undertaking parlor where
the facts of the disinterment were made
known upon the arrival of Baron

Chicago, accompanied by Consul J.

of preservation and the face was en-
tirely unchanged. When the white cas-
ket was opened the body was seen at
