From the Detroit Free Press, An incident occurred at a banquet a few oven- ings ago that did not find its way into the re- ports of the affair. One of the most prominent men of the state, who was stationed near the departing guest, no sooner obrerved the 3 of wine-glasses at his plate than he turned them all bottom side up. A few minutes later the colored waiter assigned to that section of the festive board came along with a decanter of sherry, seized the distinguished gentleman's | sherry glass, turned it right side up, « it to the brim, ‘The gentleman, astonished ang vexed, said tothe man and brother in a sub?) dued but penetrating tone: “How long have you been a waiter?” “Lisn’t a waitah, sah; I’se a preacher, I'm | our head waiter should have in-| a that when aman turns his glass | upside duwn he docen’t wish wine.” { The servant apologized aud tue banquet pro- ceeded, Midway of the feast the waiter hur- ricdly set before the distinguished gentieman asmall glass cup, having a handle at one side sud tilled with a frozen pink-colored decoction that might have been a strawberry ice. The distinguished gentleman tasted it with his spoon in an abstracted manner, while letening to the conversation of his ucighbor at his left, and fiuding it” of a pl faste, swallowed spoonful after spoonful till it was nearly half devoured. ‘Then the preacher-waiter suddeniy remembered something, dived forward, seized the cup and lifted it away, saying os he did so: “Beg pawdon, sah; excuse me, cah; dis is frozen punch.” The countenance of the distinguished tem- perance mun was for seversl moments a study tor a physiognomist. just helping for to-night.” : “Well, | Maryland Firebugs Caught.

Charged with Dropping Lead Coin Slot Machine to Get Chewing-Gum. In front of Wilson's confectionery store, on 6th street, is a drop-a-cent-in-the-slot-and-get- a-piece-of-chewing-gum machine. There are no blanks, but every perfect cent is guaranteed towin a prize, Willie Diggs, a twelve-year- old Sunday-school boy, likes chewing gum, and his appetite for that article got him into trou- ble. This morning he was in the Polfee Court charged wish “larceny,” an offense which a col- ored lawyer in our courts once defined as “the taking of a thing from where it is and the put- ting of it where it ain't. "The proprietor of the store told the court that he owned the contents of the machine, He exhibited a handful of bo- gus pennies. made of lead bullets. He ex- plained how the machine was manipulated and told the court that he caught the boy in the act of dropping pieces of lead in the slot on two oc- casions, “In other words,” said the judge, “you bet him that he'll get a piece of gum. It's 'a game of chance?” ‘No, sir,” replied the witness, «In answer to the court's inquiries, he said that he arrested the boy and kept him in the store until his mother left $5. He afterward returned the money. The boy admitted that he put the leaden imitation of coin in the slot, but denied that he got the chewing gum, and his testimony was corroborated by another boy, ‘Where did you get the lead coin?” asked the prise. “In Sunday school,” he replied. He admitted that on previous occasions he had got gum from the apparatus by using the bogus clas but he’ could nos sell kew many times he had obtained it, Judge Miller spoke of the drop-a-nickel-in- the-slot machines as being a standing invitation to boys to become thieves. They are the best things in the world, the judge said, to educate young boys to become rascals. He lectured the lad about the business of making counterfeit coins, and said that some of these boys would probably land in the penitentiary if they didn’t stop such practices. As this was the first case of the kind and the defendant a small ~~ judge said he would take his personal bonds. Lieut. Heffner, in whose precinct the arrest was made, told a reporter that he learned of the affair through the boy’s mother, He said that when Mr. Wilson caught the boy he locked him oP for more than an hour, and’ demanded $10 of the boy’s mother. She could only raise £5, which she gave him and her boy was ro-| leased. When the lieutenant learned of the afiair, he says, he sent Ofticer Daly to see Wil- | son and tell him he had better return the money, which he did, and he then said that he would get even and have the boy arrested, a SUING THE RAILROAD COMPANY.

From the New York Sen, To-day There isn’t a yachtman in New York, whose opinion is worth having, who believes that Lord Dunraven will back out of his challenge to sail for the America’s cup, on account of the time-allowance clause in the cup committee's letter of acceptance. “People on the other side whoare trying to make a sensation or create bad feeling between the New York and the Roral Squadron yacht clubs, ought to be suppressed,” said a yachtman last night, “for there isn'ta word of trath in the report of Dunraven’s objections. We all know that he's coming over here to race for Gen. Paine’s Im ternational cup, and he says in his letter that the Valkyrie was not specially designed to «ail for the America’s cup, but for racing in Eng= lish waters. J. Frederick Tams, of the New York and Sea- wanhaka-Corinthian Yacht club, who Iso @ member of the cup committee, said last night: “I don't believe a word of it. Dunraven not objected to our time allowance I feel sure, for he said in his letter that he would like the allowance to be a mean between the New York and his own club, and if that was not agreeable he would be governed New York rules, I think it’sa toss up wh the fairest, ours orhis, Until we have some more elements of measurement, sail area, forth, from the Valkyrie, we cannot tell anywhere near what the allowance between the Volunteer aud Valky- rie would be. ‘ihe mistake they have . made hasbeen in not building boats spectally for racing in our waters.

We. the other hand, have attended strictly to business, and built the very best we could to defend the cup.” Do you think Watson has suficient know- ledge of the sail area of our yachts to gain any adv ge in time allowance?™ Watson is pretty shrewd, and he must know a good deal abont the Volunteer’s sail plan, but that of the Katrina, Shangrock and Titania bas been changed so often that he cannot form correct ideas from what he saw of them while ondon dispatch says: The Times believes misunderstanding in connection with Lord Dunraven’s challenge will be amicably arranged.
