FATE LAUGHS y;
 SECOND TIME. AT KL0NDIKER

SEATTLE, Oct. 28-The caprices of fortune have again made sport of Antone Stander, once wealthy Klon. diker and owner of the former Stander Hotel in Seattle. Not content with having led him to the rich diggings of the Klondike and filled his pockets with gold, which she proceeded to pilfer from him, the fatal goddess has again touched" the veteran soldier of fortune and sent him back home with her laugh ringing in his ears. Antone Stander returned from the Klondike several years ago with a million dollars, which he proceeded to lose through unfortunate investments. To recoup his shattered fortunes, he struck out three years ago for Si- beria, where he has put in some hard times in the search for another rich strike. Luck was with him-for minute. He had just found what he was after, and was indulging visions of a golden-hued future in which he could laugh last" in the game with chance, when along came the Bolshe- wiki. The Red" guards bore down upon him, burned his camp, and threatening to kill him unless he got promptly on his way, drove him from the scene of his new find. He has just returned here, with tickle Fortune still giving him the merry ha-ha

MURDER PASTOR
 BY WOMAN IS A SHOCK TO CITY

HAVRE, Mont, Oct. 28.-Owner- ship of the revolver with which Mrs. Marguerite Carleton yesterday killed Reverend Leonard Jacob Christler and herself, has not yet been deter mined. That the revolver was one belonging to Mrs. Christler, wife Of the dead clergyman, has been stated, but Mrs. Christlers revolver, it is alleged, was smaller than the one used in the tragedy. The murder Of Rev. Christler, which has stunned the community, occurred early yes tereday morning when Mrs. Carleton appeared at the home of the Christ lers following their return from meeting a party of friends at local cafe. It was ascertained today that Mrs. Christler had discovered Mrs. Carleton at the Christler home the night before, engaged in burning some photographs of the clergyman. Mrs. Christler says that she did not mention the GldtC6T u Hel HuoUdnu for the reason that Mrs. Carleton had been discussed before and Mrs. f ChrIstler did not wish to revive the subject Mrs. Christler, the wife of the dead clergyman, Is a woman of wealth and a niece of Senator Wads- worth of New York.
 So obviously is the tragedy of yesterday a case of suicide and murder that it is probable there will be no inquiry by coroner's jury. Authorities are perplexed to discoverer any motive for the crime. The dead clergyman, who was a handsome man six feet, one inch tall, with a mass of curly brown hair, figures as the hero in novel by Stewart Edward White. He has been member of the Montana Leg islature, where he was known as S'the orator magnificent. Mrs. Carleton, one of the prettiest women in Montana, was the wife of Frank Carleton, former United States Dis trict Judge. and has recently been living in California.

ENCYCLOPEDIA EDITORS DO
 SOME PLAIN SPEAKING,

High and mighty is the attitude assumed by the editors of the Encyclopedia Britannica re- garding the sketch of former Secretary of War Baker.
 Asked by a correspondent in London what reply he had to make to the protest of Ralph Hayes, formerly MT. Bakers private secretary, Hugh Chisholm, edtor-in-chef, said: "Whife I am not responsible personally for what ap- peared about Mr. Baker, I am entirely satisfied with it. Everybody knows it to be true"
 Assistant Editor Cox was even more force ful in his remarks. He said, "The Encyclo- pedia Britannica is not responsible to the American public for any of it's views. Neither is it responsible to MT. Hayes. You may re- gard this, however, official, that any pro- test from Mir. Hayes or anybody else will be ignored We shall continue to withhold the names of the writer of the article in question and of the editor whose hands 1t passed. Why shouldn't we? Who in America has the right to tell us what we shall shall not say? Who is qualified to dispute the word of the Ency- clopedia Britannica?"
 All of which is a good example of British bumptiousness. Maybe the Encyclopedia Brtannicas editors think it is nobody's busi- ness whether their work is accurate and un- biased or not, but it makes great deal of diff ference to readers of the encyclopedia and may cause some concern to its publishers and dis trbutors who hope to profit by increasing it's circulation.
 The Encyclopedia Britannica is great ref erence work, but being human undertaking, 1t is not infallible. When a sef-sufficent ed itor says so he is talking nonsense.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
BIRMINGHAM ON OCTOBER 10, 1871

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Let us get our heads and minds together and do little reminiscing in the long past This is to recall attention to the old and real bona fide citizens of Birmingham then, or since October 10, 1871, to the following fac,s experienced by the writer.
 That on said October 10, 1871, at o'clocK in the afternoon, with the first soda cocktail under my shirt that I ever imbibed, taken in the saloon across the street in front of the court house in old Elyton, I walked to the then prospective city of Birmingham, the now livest city in the south, as we all know I walked up the tracks of the A. G. s. rai.- road, in entering the city to Nineteenth street. where I crossed over to what is now the Chamber of Commerce building on heavy lumber laid on bents or horses. The present yard of the L. & N. depot together with tna site on which all it's buildings stand said to have once been a duck pond, at the time was seething mass of mud and water From tho Chamber of Commerce l meandered in the direction of or about to where the Traders National bank now stands on or about which MT.
