At the request of the hotel manage

bars closed promptly at niHnight,
the New Harper setting an example
by closing at five minutes to 12.
When the mystic hour of midnight
arrived, there was an Instant out
break of renewed hilarity. 'Auld Lang

to the new year. Merry crowds filled
the streets down town and while

Nothing "Shocking."
Throughout the evening th- best of

New York, Dec. 31. Miss Inez Bor-
rero of Barcelona, Spain, a very pretty
dancer who recently has been tangoing
in London music halls, has Just danced
her way into a betrothal.
It happened while she was coming
to America on the steamer Majestic
One night she danced for the edifica
tion of a few of the passengers, and
all who saw her were dazed. Among
those who witnessed the rare siht was
Panipilio Zavier, a young Brazilian, a
student at Georgetown university,
Washington, D. C. He was fascinated.
Before the night was over the young
millionaire South American fell upon
his knees, offered himself as the dan
cer's life partner and placed on her
engagement finger a $500 diamond and
ruby ring, an heirloom.
Also during the course of the even
ing Zavier gave Mis Borrero a $50
bill and a check for an unrevealed
amount. Everything would have gone
smoothly on the pier when the steam
er reached New York the next day if
the custom house men had not heard
about the ring. The dancer wept when
asked why Ehe had not declared it.
"You will have to pay duty on it,"
was informed.
Senior Zavier will pay the duty."
said she.
She kissed the youth's cheek and
said, "Come across, old chap."
"No, I won't pay the duty," replied
the Brazilian. "It id your ring now."
So the dancer paid the duty herself,
wished Javier goodby and promised
she would see him later.

In this embarrassing dilemma the

The Brazilian fleet was ordered to
shoot the offending pole off the top of
the mountain. Either they could not
train their guns to the reo.uired angle
of elevation or the target was too nar

rate, the English flag flying over U:e
proud Brazilian city remained, braving
the battle and the breeze, till it rottea

COULTER'S QUEER STORY.
It Was Thought He Had .Discovered
Hades, but He Hadn't.
At a gathering In Milwaukee a well
known minister was called on to tell a
story, and this is what he told:
"Did you ever hear of Coulter's hell?
Of the two men lost by the great
Lewis and Clark expedition of 1S03 on
Its long Journey through the northwest
one was a roan named Coulter. He
was captured by Indians, who stripped
him and set him to running the gantlet.
"Outrunning their blows, he snatch
ed a spear from the last Indian, killed
him with it and ran into the moun
tains naked and wounded, but at last
free and armed. Wandering toward
the southeast, he presently .found him
self in a land where the forces of na
ture appeared to have gone mad to
gether. Rivers from which he sought
to drink ran hot water, boiling foun
tains gushed hundreds of feat in the
air, volcanoes of black mud vomited at
him, bubbling fountains of snow whit
mud gushed around, with others ot
crimson and blue and green. A .moun
tain of pure sulphur crystals rose on
one hand, and from beside a stream
rose another composed of black glass
almost as clear as a window pane.
"At last, escaping fr"fln the place, he
was found by some trappers, who
clothed him and took him to St Louis,
where they reported him as one whose
mind had been wrecked by his experi
ences. Wherever he told of the fright
ful country which be swore he had
seen men roared -with mirth at- the
yarn and made him tell and retell It
till within a few years It went ail over
the west as an example of the effect
of the horrors of being lost on the hu
man mind. It was commonly known
as 'the story of Coulter's hell, and un
der that name it frequently appeared
in the eastern papers in the early thir
ties and forties. Coulter himself final
ly died regarded to the last as a hope
jess maninc.
"And then In ISfiO some Montana
trappers wandered Into the region and
came back with the astounding talc
that Coulter had told the truth and bad
never been insane at all. The govern
ment Immediately rushed soldiers and
scientists Into the country, and before
long It became the Yellowstone Na
tional park. And that Is the story of
Coulter's hell." Milwaukee Journal.

ROOMER MARRIES;
LANDLADY INSANE
Wedding of Young Man Causes
Woman to Become Mentally
Deranged..
Driver suddenly insane when she
learned of the marriage of a weTl
known young man of this city.
Miss Anna Davis, aged 47, re
siding at 902 Twentieth street,
was adjudged in need of mental
treatment before a medical commis
sion In county court yesterday after
noon and Judge B. S. Bell ordered her
sent to Watertown. The physicians who
examined her were Dr. J. B. Lackner,
Dr. A. N. Mueller and Dr. A. E. Wil
liams. The case is unusually sad and at
tracted much attention. It is under
stood that the neighbor's "residing near
the Davis home became 'concerned,
about her welfare,-- and were instru
mental in having her taken to the
state institution in the hope that shi
could be cured of the malady which
caused her to become deeply melan
choly and lose interest la life. She
shut herself in at her home and re
fused to see any or her friends and
even threatened to kill herself, it is
said.
The young man in the case is said
to be 29 years of age. He had been
a roomer at the home of Miss Davis
for some months.
