MEANEST MAN IN DENVER
GETS JUST DESERTS

DENVER, March 13.-After she had
broken quarantine to beg food for her
five children, stricken with scarlet fe-
yer, and weak from hunger, Mrs. Rob
ert Macarthur was forced to turn over
the provisions to her husband at his
demand, according to the testimony in
police court this morning by Humane
Officer David.
Macarthur was arraigned in police
court on the charges of the humane
society that he refused to work and
support his family and that he re-
fused to accept work at 81 day be
cause he thought it too little. His
children, who range from to 21 years
in age, are in serious condition from
fever and hunger.
"The limits of human worthlessness
and laziness are reached in you," said
Judge Stapleton to Macarthur. at il
useless to impose a Jail sentence on
you, for to man of your caliber, i.
would be mere vacation with Io
thought of worry for food or place
to sleep.
"The best that can be done is to
sentence you to work on the city wood
pile, where you will get s1.50 worth
of provisions for your labor. This
will be turned over to your wife. Don't
go home for week either. Sleep at
the municipal lodging house."

WHO WILL BE THIRTEENTH
WHITE HOUSE BRIDE?

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13-
For the first time since the brief ad-
ministration of President Taylor the
presidential household has three mar
riageable girls forming part of it.
The advent of the President and Mrs.
Wilson and their three bachelor"
daughters has naturally aroused So
ciety here to speculation as to the
possibility of one or more White house
weddings during the administration
now begun.
The first White house wedding took
place little more than century ago,
when Mrs. Madison's younger sister
Lucy Payne Washington, widow of a
nephew of George Washington, was
the bride.
During President Jackson's admin
istration three weddings took place in
the historic mansion, those of Della
Lewis of Nashville and Alphonse Pa
geot, a member of the French lega-
ton; Mary Easton, niece of Mrs
Jackson, and Lucien B. Polk, and EN-
lily Martin, relative of the president
and Lewis Randolph.
The next White house wedding was
that of Elizabeth Tyler, daughter OF
President Tyler, and William Waller
of Virginia. The next was the ia.
nous wedding of Nellie Grant and AL
gernon Sartoris.
The White house weddings of late
years, in the order in which they tool
place, were those of Emily Platt, {
niece of President Hayes, and Gen
eral Russell Hastings; Miss Frances
Folsom and President Cleveland, ant
Miss Alice Roosevelt and Nichola!
Longworth.
The list to date totals an even doz
en-. Now the question asked is wheth
er one of the Wilson girls will flou
superistitution and become the thir
teenth White house bride.

ALLEGED VIOLATION OF
LAW STIRS COMMISSIONERS

NEW YORK, March 13.-Aroused
by what seems to be a serious menace
to the integrity Of the Frawley box
ing law under which the game has
flourished in this state, members of
the state athletic commission stated
today that if Packey Mcfarland, the
Chicago lightweight, would furnish
the names of certain persons who
tried to make the stockyards cham
pion bet on himself in his bout here
with Jack Britton last Friday night,
the offenders would be barred for
ever from participating in the sport.
McFarland's declarations, following
His easy victory over the local boy,
have convinced many that he spoke
the truth. 1t is pointed out that he
hai nothing to lose by putting up his
r,oney as it was foregone conclu-
5ion that he would come off victori-
GUS. In view of this fact, the Chicago
fighter is given credit for observing
the letter of the Frawley law, which
states specifically that there shall be
no betting on bouts.
This rule has worked admirably for
the advancement of the game in this
state and the trainers of the law are
given credit for the reform which sue
ceeded many evils existing under the
old Horton statute. Attempts are now
being made to pass measure similar to
the Frawley law in the legislatures of
Illinois, Massachusetts, and other
states. .
