For a long while they have had mix-ups, and their the police courts. Two weeks ago the po- lice were called upon to settle their differ- ences, and arrests followed at that time. Yesterday afternoon, &0 the woman says, Baxter made repeated efforts to en- ter the rooms of her house, but was pre- vented. Later, she alleges, when she was in her room in company with a girl who | lives in the house, Baxter made another | attempt to gain admission. The girl was dressing at the time, and as Baxter tried to force the window of the room the Ber- alla woman shot him. Officer Skain took the woman to the City Prison, where a charge of assault to commit murder was registered against her. At 11 o’clock last night she was released on a bond of $500.

He was always on the alert to see that his sub- ordinates did their duty. | One day a year or two ago he went into | a small postoffice and telegraph station, which was in charge of a smartly dressed young postmistress, who was busy talk- inr with a_young man who lounged lan- | guidly on the desk | With some difficulty the Duke found a | telegraph blank and pen and ink, with- | out any assistance from the young poman, and he wrote a dispatch which he signed orfolk He then said qu(etl). “Will you kindly send this at once?” No notice was taken of him, and the postmisiress continued to talk glibly to er admirer.

But _the condescending remark, “Sign your first name,” was too good to keep, | and the Duke told the story, whereupon his friends declared the jol (o to be on himself and not on the postmistress.— | Philadelphia Post. —_——— A Great Bridge. | The formal laying of the first stone of the Quebec bridge on Tuesday by Bir Wil- frid Laurier marks the definite commence. ment of a great undertaking, which has been talked about for a gemeration.
