'her influence in getting orders for the
generous photographer. If the bait
takes, acheap picture is made and sent
“C. O.‘ D.” under pretence that it is

picture being free, whereas several
times the value of the frame is exacted.

Who is to Blame?
Rev. Dr. Noble' in his discourse last
evening on the theme of “The Bible as
related to American Independence,”
parenthetically asked, “When things
go wrong in the town and the state and
the nation; when weak and unworthy
men are clothed with authority who Is
to blame?” That business man is to
blame,” said he, “who thought more
of his business than of his duty as a cit-
izen, and so failed to vote for good
men for ofiice. That dilettante man,
who will not vote because politics is too
low for him to take part in the selec-
tion and election of good men. That
minister of the goSpel' is to blame, who
for fear he may offend some partisan
parishioner, fails to do his duty as a
citizen, in the selection and election of
upright Godly men to be our rulers.

blame, when weak and unworthy men
' are put into places of authority, in our
town and our-nation. ”

DRUNKEST MAN IN OMAHA.

She and her brother '
goods house.
beard at the Occidental hotel. Miss
Yates, as a rule, occupies her room
alone. She was the only occupant when
she went to sleep Monday night. Yes-
terday morning, however, she was very
much amazed and was badly frightened
when she awoke and found that she
was not the only person who was in her
bed. The other person had his head
covered. At first Miss Yates could not
believe her senses, but after her fright
had passed she very carefully turned
back the cover. .
‘f It’s' a man,” she. screamed, and then
and then‘she fainted. Her brother, who
occupies the next room, heard his sis-
ter scream, and he was quickly on the
scene.
The man was sleeping very soundly
in a drunken stupor, and it was with
difficulty that he was awakened. ~When
he did aWake he also was very much
surprised at the surroundings. The
brother yanked him out of bed and
turned him over to Officer Bloom, who
sent him to the police station. A few
minutes later the brother and his sister
went to the station to appear against
the man.
He was brought out from behind the
bars and the brother had an interview
with him. The man said he arrived
from Chicago Monday and immediately
after his arrival he registered at the
Occidental. After supper ‘he went out
and met an old friend, who took him
around town and showed him the sights.
~ About midnight he turned up at the ho-
tel in a very bad state of intoxication.
He said he remembered going to the
desk and getting his key, then he re-
membered trying to unlock his door.
Finally he succeeded, and after pulling.
off his clothes he jumped into bed. He
did not know how he got into Miss
Yates’ bed, and did not know he was
there till he woke up and was handed
to an'ofiicer.
Investigation showed that the keys to
his room and that of Miss Yates were
exactly the same, and that he had got
into Miss Yates’ room and bed by mis-
take.
A similar event occurredhere 1n Nor-
walk, several years ago, at what was
then known as the “ old Mott House,”
standing on the lawn tennis grounds.
The front door had been left unlocked
tosadmit a brother who was out late,
when a gallant young employee of the
Union Mfg. 00., who had been tamper-
ing with Norwalk’s peculiar brand of
“ tangle-foot,” in a befuddled state,
walked into the house, up the stairs ine
to the bed room where two young la-V
dies were soundly sleeping, disrobed
and rolled into their couch, without
either being aware that there was any
other than her mate “ crowding so,”
until the dawn of coming day revealed
the horrid man in their nest. Of course
screams aroused the house and the poor
inebriated and still confused and stu-
pid intruder was hurled from the bed
by a big brother, who kicked him out
of the room, down the stairs and out
into the street, “ all accoutred as he
was,” then went back and hurled the
ter him. He was not forgiven, as Was
the Omaha blunderer, but suffered
from his severe bruises for nearly a
month and probably has never, if yet
alive, recovered from his own terrible
fright which, if possible, was greater
than that of the horrified and screech-
ing maidens, upon whose somnolentso-
ciety he had thus forced himself for the
last half of the night.
An Understanding Reached. .
The Westport church muddle will
not longer occupy the attention of
Judge Thayer of the civil superior
court. The warring factions have
reached an understanding whereby it
will be withdrawn from that court and
settled by the ecclesiastical court.
Thursday afternoon an effort was made
to settle the case, as Judge Thayer said
it was not a proper one for him to de-
cide. Now the proper tribunals can
settle it. The trouble is over the pre-
sent rector, Rev. Mr. Hyde, who a por—
tion of the parish are bitterly opposed
to and desire him to retire, but he will
not heed their wishes.

they decided about a month since to
suspend operations.
Last winter a hat trust was formed,
which the Messrs. Sanford was instru-

The trust was not destined to

The force of workmen has gradually
been lessened, until only a few rooms
have been running during the past few
maining employee were discharged and
the factory closed up. All stock on

In all several hundred employes
have been thrown out of Work. Many
Will probably find employment at some
other work or leave for other batting
towns, The loss of the factory to

hoped that before a very" distant day
one equally as beneficial to 'the city will _,
take its place.
