P1NGREE IN CONTEMPT.
Ingham County Bar Wants Him
Called to Account.
Lansing, Mich., Dec. 24. On petition
tkf members of the Ingham county bar.
Judge Wiesfof the Ingham county court
today ordered Governor Pingree to ap
pear in court next Saturday and show
cause why he should not be punished,
for contempt.
The action is based on an interv'"
which was published in the DetrOit"
Tribune December 7, in which the gov
ernor bitterly attacked Judge Wiest and
Prosecutor Tuttle of Ingham county.
Attached to the petition for an order is
an affidavit by the Tribune reporter,
who secured the interview which affirms
that it was given for publication and
that the following day the governor in
formed him that the interview as print
.ed was all right and commended its fair
ness. ,
DOWN CORRIDORS OF TIME.
Plans to Perpetuate Century Ball
Record.
Major T. J. Anderson has suggested
the plan ef furnishing each person who
attends the Twentieth Century Inaug
ural Fete with a card on which to place
Jiis or her name and address. These
cards may be put in a box provided for
that purpose during the course cf the
evening. Afterwards an expert will be
employed to engross all the names on
a sheet of parchment. This will . be
placed in the care of the State Histor
ical society, and a hundred years from
now will make an interesting bit of his
torical data.
Nearly all the arrangements for the
ball have been arranged, and the ex
ecutive committee which has the affair
in charge anticipate one of the largest
rarties ever given in Topeka on New
Year's eve.

Chief Kipley Returns to Chicago.
Chicago. Dec 24. Chief of Police Kip
ley returned to Chicago early today. He
said his return was hastened by the ill
ness of Captain Colleran, chief of detec

tions have been made against me since
my departure about two weeks ago had
nothing to do with my home coming."
said the chief. "I am here and ready for
the grand jury any time that body
wants to see me. I have been on my va
cation and have enjoyed the rest." 1

THE SIIAWSCHRISTMS.
IFrom the New Tork Mail and Express.
"I do' know as we can make much
Christmas fer th' children this year,"
said Mrs. Shaw to her husband a few
days before the holiday; "an' they ex
pectin' it,- too. But I don't see no way
'thout money, ai' I guess it's just about
as scarce as it kin be this year."
"It's not only skuree, Mary," said Mr.
Shaw, "th" simply ain't any."
"Well, we c'n sell the melodeon, and
that's good for fifteen dollars, y' know."
"Yes, but Mary, I giv' ye that th' fust
Christmas we kep' house, and I feel
repugnant to partin' with it," said her
husband.
"No more than I do," she answered.
"An' it seems to me that I jest couldn't
bear to see it go away. But we must
have a little money for Christmas, an'
the's that six dollars balance to the
doctor."
"I suppose th' chil'ren '11 feel putty
bad if they don't Jiev no Cbris'mas,"
said Mr. Shaw, reflectively. "An' ye
can't do much 'thout a couple of dol
lars. Well, I'll see Perfesser Wilson to
day." He drew on a brown plaid overcoat,
wrapped a muffler about his neck, and
wont out. Times had once been good
with the Shaws, but an ambitious
brother had dragged Samuel into in
dorsing notes, with the almost invari
able result. He had had to mortgage
the place, and the interest kept them
poor. There were two boys at home,
Fred and Egbert, fourteen and twelve
years old. They were good boys and
stood tvell at school. Today they were
out coasting. Kred was a lad who liked
sports of all kinds, while his brother
was fond of books. Recently his chum,
a year older, named Cassius, and called
"Cash" by his familiars, had become
possessed of a number of literary works,
bearing chiefly on the adventuses of one
Keen Knffe, otherwise the "Prince of
the Prairies," and the boys had spent
long and delightful afternoons in a hay
mow belonging to Cassius' father in
perusal of the books. But even these
novels were forgotten now in the at
mosphere of Christmas, and speculation
as to Keen Knife's escape from a band
of unfriendly Indians had changed for
grave consideration of the possibilities
of new carpenter's tools and a small
printing press. . ,
If the boys had known the sacrifice
that was to be made that their Christ
mas might be brighter, it is probable
that they would have been sorry. The
melodeon was always treated with great
respect in the Shaw family. The boys
had not heard it in years. The last
time was on a soft summer evening,
when Mrs. Shaw's young sister was
there. She was to sail for Kurope the
next day as companion to a rich woman
who had taken a great fancy to her.
Even Egbert remembered that last
evening very well. His youthful aunt
played and sang such sweet, old-fashioned
airs as "Then You'll Remember
Me" and "Home, Sweet Home." Little
Egbert recalled sometimes how in the
intervals of the conversation that even
ing, while he was holding his aunt's
hand, he had heard the boys shouting
as they played in the old fair grounds,
which were not very far away, and he
remembered how, drowsy as he was, he
finally put his head in his aunt's lap
and went to sleep. When he awoke, his
aunt had gone, and he had not seen her
since. That was four years ago, and
some sentiment respecting the absent
sister had caused Mrs. Shaw to keep
the melodeon locked ever since.
Mrs. Shaw was engaged in her usual
occupation of mending when her hus
band returned. "I've sold the melodeon,"
he said, "and here's the money," he
added, putting three five-dollar bills in
his wife's hand. "Perfesser Wilson said
he wouldn't send for it till the day af
ter Christmas."
So they sat and planned what should
be done with the money. It was finally
portioned out as seemed best about
four dollars for presents for the boys,
including not only toys but useful ar
ticles as well; four dollars to the doctor,
two dollars and a half for little tokens
for other, and the balance was to be
expended on good things to eat. Monday
was a busy day in the Shaw household.
The boys' presents were safely hidden
away, but there was no keeping from
the mthe secret of the edible part of'the
preparations. Even in these preliminary
indications of what was to be a merry
Christmas there was much ;ioy for the
lads. A miniature pie was made for
each, and the turkey was, for the time
being, of more absorbing interest than
even the venison steak and" the roasted
ears of corn upon which Keen Knife
regaled himself in spare moments.
Mr. Shaw could not help remarking
BOY MESSIAH DEBATING
to his wife as he saw the generous pre
parations for the morrow that these ad
vantages might have been more com
mon If things had been different. "It
always seems as though all our trouble
came at once. First, paying them notes,
then losing those government bonds and
Lucy goingv away," added his wife.'
When the boys had gone to bed, which
was a reluctant duty on their part, the
stockings were filled, and what was too
bulky, for these .receptacles was placed
upon a table. There was a . rousing
snowstorm just beginning; the air had
a penetrating chill; though it was early,
the street was very quiet, except for the
crackling of the branches of the trees
as the wind swept through them. Mr.
Shaw took but a brief survey of the
scene, remarking:
"Well, I guess, mother, we're goin' to
hev real Christmas weather."
"Wouldn't mind anything, Samuel, 'a
long's the boys had a good time, except
th' melodeon," she responded, patting
the instrument tenderly.
Mrs. Shaw sat down before it- and
played a few chords softly. As they died
away the wind moariVd dismally around
the window. A loose shutter rattled as
the gust struck -it. Mrs. Shaw began
an old air she had known when a girl,
and then suddenly the sound ceased,
though her hands still touched the keys.
"Why, what's the matter with, it?"
she exclaimed. "It must be broken."
Mr. Shaw looked it over. Then he
carefully removed the top. Some paper3
lay upon the bellows. His wife, who
had been looking on intently, picked
them up. .
"Something the boys have dropped
in!" exclaimed Mrs. Shaw.
"No, 'taint," he replied. "Let me have
'em. They look like like they are
mother, sure's you're born, they're the
bonds!"
Yellow and dusty and wrinkled there
they were, those precious bojjds, a thou
sand dollars" worth of goda negotiable
government promises. The couple look
ed at each other in astonishment.
"They've been there raore'n three
years!" exclaimed Mrs. Shaw.
"Yes, an' I reck'lect now how it was,
too," said her husband. " 'Twas that
warm night in September I threw my
coat across th' melodeon. I never
thought about the bonds not being in
my pocket till I went to the bank in th'
mornin'. The coat laid there all night,
an' I never missed "em till I got to she
bank."
Mrs. Shaw again seated herself In
front of the melodeon. "We'll sing one
verse, even if it does wake the boys,"
she said, and the little melodeon enthus
iastically responded to "Praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow."
The snow was still coming down when
the family were at breakfast Christmas
morning. The window sashes were piled
hign with it, and the drifts were deep ir:
the front yard. All hands went into the
shoveling business, and none too soon,
for a way to the front gate had scarce
ly been cleared before there was a de
mand for it. The big sled belonging to
the Beebe House was around leaving the
arrivals from the early train.
"What on earth is it stopping here
for?" exclaimed Mrs. Shaw.
But toer question was answered in a
most unexepeeted manner, for when a
pretty young lady, followed by a demure
maid, ran up the sidewalk, Mrs. Shaw
burst into joyful tears. "It isn't Lucy?"
she cried.
"But it is, sister!" answered the young
woman. The boy3 crowded around, and
helped carry the many packages into the
house. Lucy explained how Mme. Bron
son had died three months before; had
left her several missions to perform in
Europe, and had made the young girl
her heir.
And I'm coming back to live with
you," she announced. And when they
told her of selling the melodeon, and
how they found the bonds in it, Lucy
said: "You can give it to me for my
Christmas present."
NOT AS A PEACEMAKER.
United States Will N ot Assist in Un
tangling Chili's Troubles.
New York, Dec. 24. Peru and Bolivia
must look elsewhere than the United
States for help in resisting the claims of
Chili to the provinces of Tacna and Arica,
savs the Washington correspondent of the
Herald.
The Peruvian and Bolivian governments
recently requested the "United States to
use its good offices in bringing about a
peaceful and satisfactory solution of the
dispute with Chili. Secretary Hay defin
itely and fully declined to accede to the
request.
This action will probably have an im
portant effect upon Chili's course with re
spect to the invitation of the government
of Mexico to participate in the pan-American
conference to be held next year in
the City of Mexico. Chili has hesitated
about accenting the invitation because of
her fear that the Peruvian and Bolivian I
WITH ThE WISE
governments would drag into the confer
ence the Tacna and Arica controversy
and that she might be pledged to arbi
tration upon linea opposed to her own in
terests. Her position is explained by the minis
ter for foreign affairs in a letter to Senor
Don Carlos Moria Vicuna, the Chilian
minister in Washington,, which says, in
part:
"In order that our purpose may not be
misunderstood, I explicitly state that this
government does not object to questions
relative to international arbitration beins
considered in the new conference. On the
contrary, as I had already the opportuni
ty of expressing it to you. Chill will read
ily assist in furthering this programme, so
transcendant for the future of all na
tions. "But I wish also to state once more that
what Chili cannot admit is the amplitude
and the vagueness that may allow the
raising of unpleasant, Inopportune and
vexatious polemics in the . course of the
conference deliberations." ,

W. J. Bryan to Discuss Cleve
land's Recent Utterances.
Chicago, Dec. 24. The Chronicle says:
William Jennings Bryan' will answer ex
President Cleveland's criticism of the
Democratic party at the annual banquet
of the W. J. Bryan league of Chicago on
the anniversary of the battle of New Or
leans, January 8. The affair will' take
place at the Sherman house. It will be
Bryan's first public speech since his sec
ond defeat for the presidency. Announce,
ment was made last evening at the meet
ing of the county Democracy bv Robert
E. Burke of the acceptance by Mr. Bryan
of an invitation to speak on Japkson day.
Mr. Bryan's subject is "Democracv."
Besides Bryan the other speakers who
have accepted are ex-Governor William J.
Stone of Missouri, Congressman Carmaek
of Tennessee, and Mr. Burke savs it is
probable that Governor Beckham of Ken
tucky will be the fourth orator.
CANADIAN SENATE.
"Will Probably Change Mode of Select
ing Its Senators.
Ottawa, Ont., Dec. 24. Sir John Bouri
not, clerk of the house of commons, the
famous authority on parliamentary pro
cedure, was questioned last night on
the subject of the Canadian senate. It
has been proposed to reform that body,
and the government has fo some time
had under consideraMon changes
amending the constitutional provisions
on the subject in the British North
America act under which the provinces
of Canada were confederated.
Sir John said he did not agree with
those who talked of abolishing the sen
ate. The usefulness of a second cham
ber has been sufficiently demonstrated in
Canada. He believed, however, the time
had come when a change in the mode of
selecting senators might usefully be con
sidered. The feeling aroused by the ex
ercise of the power of the senate major
ity against the will of the majority of
the house, and the recent discussion of
the methods by which party preponder
ance was secured, have pointed to the
desirability of an improvement in tne
mode of filling vacancies. His own idea
was to substitute for the present sys
tem one partly of election and partly of
nomination. The cities, the universities,
the suburban districts, might be sepa
rately grouped for senate electoral pur
poses, the government nominating th-
balance, following largely the Danish
system, which he regarded as a good
one. The result would be a more rep
resentative body and one much more in
touch with the people than a senaco
wholly nominated by the government.
TO CREMATE HIS BODY.
Ashes of a Chicago Labor Leader Will
Be Scattered to the Winds.
Chicago, Dec. 24. Cremation of the
body of Michael V. Britzius, a prominent
Chicago labor leader, who died at Den
ver last Thursday, will be made today
at Graceland cemetery, after which the
ceremony of scattering the ashes to the
four winds will be performed . Only the
intimate friends of deceased will be in
attendance, for, though Britzius willed
that his body be incinerated and ashes
scattered to the winds, he coupled his
request with a stipulation that the cer
emony be carried out with as much pri
vacy as possible.
For more than 40 years Britzius was a
leader in the labor movement. He had a
national reputation as an organizer. He
was a cigar maker and became one of
the founders of the cigar makers' union,
the American Federation4of Labor and

KEPT GUESSING.
British Public Experiences Confusion
in Regard to Treaty.
New Tork, Dec. 24. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The announcement in dispatches from
Washington that the amended canal
treaty will be sent to London represses
the ardor of the press in discussing the
new questions raised by the senators.
There are no cues from the foreign
office, both Lord Lansdowne and Lord
Cranborne being Inaccessible so far as
London leader writers are concerned,
and under officials not being allowed to
say anything about diplomatic affairs.
The controversy will not be kept up by
the press at an unseasonable time when
the ministers are taking a holiday and
nobody knows what view they take of
the vague and academic quality of the
Davis amendment or the precise effects
of the interpolated clause superseding
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty or of other
changes In the convention. Two In
ferences are safely drawn by mon in
touch with the diplomatic circle. One is
that the British government is better
pleased with the amendment of the
treaty than it would have been with
the rejection of the convention outright
and the consequent reversion to the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. It can now
have the final privilege of examining
the amendments and of either revising
or rejecting them and is left In a more
dignified position than it would have oc
cupied if the treaty had been thrown
out altogether at Washington. The
other inference is that the retention of
the Suez rules in the convention will
enable the American ambassador here
to confer with the foreign offices and
possibly to effect some readjustment or
compromise. The prospect of success
may not be hopeful, but it is not out
side the range of possibilities. 'Public
opinion here has been confused by the
contradictory lines taken Dy tne Amer
ican correspondents of the London
nress p.nd whatever concltision is
reached by' the foreign office will be ac
cepted without dissent.
POINT TO CROWE.
Suspicions of Onialia Police Re
ceive Some Backing.
Omaha, Dec. 24. A man the name
of whom the police refuse to reveal, has
Identified Pat Crowe as the light com
plexloned individual, who in company
with a woman, accosted him in the vi
cinity of the robber's rendezvous rela
tive to the ownership of the house to
which young Edward Cudahy was car
ried by kidnapers last Tuesday night.
When shown a picture taken from the
rogues gallery, of Crowe this man stated
positively that It was a perfect likeness
of the man he saw at Thirty-sixth and
Grover streets. Questioned closely, as to
the man's conduct, dress, manner and
general description he gave a detailed
statement which convinces the authori
ties that they art on the right track.
The man states that during his short
talks with him while negotiations wer.-.
pending for the renting of the house he
made sufficient note of his personal ap
pearance as to be absolutely certain as
to the identification.

A RIFLED MAIL SACK
Found by a Boy But the Contents
Were Missing.
Helena, Mont., Dec. 24. The reg
istered mail sack which disappeared on
its journey from the postoffics to the
mail car on the Great Northern Friday
night was found yesterday in. a pros
pect hole on Fuller avenue, with its
contents rifled. The sack was found
shortly after 11 o'clock by George Ash
ley, the 12-year-old son of H. H. Ash
ley. The sack was lying In a hole about
five feet in depth, partially covered up
with a piece of tin and some old papers.
When the chief went into the hole he
found that a slit had been made in the
leather sack and that the contents of
the bag had been gone over. Ladies'
pocketbooks were revealed by the re
moval of the papers, and boxes which
evidently contained rings and jewelry
were seen to have been opened.
As the case is one that properly be
longs to the United States officers, the
chief made no further investigation,
and he and the officers carried tne sack
to the postoffice without making any
examination as to its contents. The
hole which was cut In the leather sack
was about four by seven Inches, the
cut being in the shape of a right angle.
It could be seen through the cut that
the cloth jacket which is inside of the
registered mail pouches had been taken

out, but what was done with It is not
known.
It was impossible last night to get
to any of the poHtofflce officials to learn
how extensively the rifling of the ai k
had been. The question which the po
lice are now trying to figure out li
whether or not the bag was stolen whlhi
it was being loaded from the rear dmr
of the postofflce, or whether 1t wa
taken while the wagon was on the way
to the depot. The latter appears to b
the more plausible solution of the case.
