Marcus covered oue with his gun, but the other was in for a rough-nnd-tumble fight, and be had it. He succecded in nearly breaking one of tho oM~ s fingers, but received a broken head in return. He had to be pounded almost into insensibility before ha would submit to being rdeufled, and s soon s he recovered he wanted some more. When the offl- cer was turning the call for the wagon the prisoner tried to ek the lock of his handcuffs, with a burglar's lock pick which he had in his pocket.

He swore that all the po- licemen in the city could not lock him up, and he tackled a full quartette of them at the station and reccived another clubbing before he was finally landed in the stecl cell. His companion likewise showed fight, but was overcome more easily. Both are des- perate crininals, and if they had been armed some one would have been hurt. “Thiey gave the names of J. Kelly ana J.

B A Move in Millinery, An amusing incident occurred yesterday afternoon in the residence portion of the city not a thousand wmiles from the site of the new hotel. That is, it w: musing for oll the disinterested parties who witnessed it, although the funny side was not quite so apparent Lo those more intimately connected with it. -~ 1seems that a certain well known young lady of this city, who shall for obvious rea- sons be nameless. nad just indulged in the luxury of & new hat—one of those wouderful specimens of the milliner's creation, con- trived and concocted with walice afore- thought for the nominal monetary cousidera- uon of $13.75. ‘The new gaze-obstructor had been duly taken bome and fully admired, when the owner found it necessary to again go up town. Now it 80 happens that the family owns a doi—one of those big, dignified ca- nines, exceedingly well behaved on all oc- casions and altogether a very discreet and proper kind of an animal. Aud thereby hangs tale~not the dog's tail, but this story. The aforesaid canine has a habit of leisorely trotting out to meet any returning member of the family and then walking back with the newcomer. This habit was the cause of the trouble that ensued. Several of the young lady friends of the owner of the conglomer ation of ribbons, feathors and milliner’s skill were atl the house awaiting her return, and when they espied her coming down the street the iaea suggested itself to put the new hat on the dog, and send him out to meet hig mistross, The plan was im- mediately carried out, and the dog sallled forth, even more dignified than usual. was very funny, ot course, and the pira- tors were exceedingly tickled. marched sedately along and the beloved hat wus aimost in the hauds of its mistress, along came a runaway horse, tearing up the street at a furious pace. The aog took in the situation at a glance, He cast a wistful look at his mistress, but the temptation was too strong to bo resisted, and. despite her commands, he joined in the chasy. Away they went, tho horse about twenty feet in the lead, and following like the wind was about ono hundred and twenty-five pounds of good healthy dog, with $15 worth of Sun- day hat perched securely on his head, the Jong, silk signals of distress fluttering be- hind. Is it necessary to say that the sight attracted attention? The chase swept up through the business portion of the city, and that hat was more generally commented on than it wouid ever have been in church or aven at tho theater. It was @ ploture that was vividly impressed on the mind of every beholder. “Numerous conjectures were made as to who owned the hat and how it came there, aud it is certain thut there are hun- dreds who will anxiously watch for its next appearance in public. Did you ask about the girls, dear reader! What they said or vhat they thought deponent saith not. Put yourself in the place of the distressed dam- 0l who will conduct the obsequies of that dog, and you will doubtiess fully under- stand whst transpired at that end of the line.

The Queer Stamp Pat Upon the Gift of a Wenlthy Hoos er. “One of the funniest things that I have heard for a long time happened a fow weeks ago,” said a westerner to a New York KEvening Sun reporter. ‘Out in Indiann one of the ‘pillars of society’ is a wealthiy and generous old soul with an immense fortune—the result of the invention of an ingenious triangular bit of iron designed for the noses of hogs and called @ hog ringer. Now, it happened that the pretty daughter of his pustor was about to be married and (surely a bride may indulge in a_little ladylike wonder as to such things) speculation was rife in the pastor’s fam- ily as to what the good ‘pillar’ would send as a gift, On the morning of the wedding day there came to the house a great box bearing the card of the wealthy inventor. “With pleased anticipation it was opene It contained n dinner service of solid silver, exquisite in design and finish. With little cries of rapture, the bride took out piece after piece and placed them siae by side. Then a queer little mark, where the monogram us- ually is, caught her attention; she bent over it, and whatdo you think? Ex- actly in the most._conspicuous place on each pieca the dear old donor, with happy inspiration, had had his hog ringer engraved. e s The Seat ot Pain and Pleasure.

He tried a case some time since and the defeated party appealed to the supreme court. In an opinion of more than ordinary causticity Judge Works set aside his judgment on the ground that the findings, that is the statement signed by the judge setting forth the frcts found by Hliitoins true, were inconsistent and conflicting. When the southern judge was told of the result he naively remarked: “Well, I'd like to know how I could help that, Why, the testimony was conflicting.” e Beecham’s Pills act like magic on a weak stomach, ——— GIVE THE ACTORS A CHANCE.

Perchance my lady has seen the play before and is now bringing some friend to enjoy it, in which case she keeps up a continual fire of criticism and explan- ations of scenes present, and such an elaborate prophecy and disclosure of scenes and events to come that you are entirely deprived of anyinaocent pleas- ure you might take in thinking out for vourself the possibilities of the plot or {dly watching 1ts growth and develop- ment according to its own laws of dra- matic sequence.

A joke comes upexpuctedly, and, tak- ing her unawares, she fuils to cateh it. Amid the laugh thav follows her voice is heard saying oxcitedly: ‘‘What did he say? Ididn't get it,"” and ber long- suffering escort pleasantly retells it, with which enlivening repetition you ined at the expense of whatever is being said on the stage, If a quotation from some familiar poem occurs, then she is happy, and displays her knowledge of poetry and her ignorance of good taste by quoting it just abead of the actor, destroy’.ng Al theé poetic effcet_and reversing the law of sound by placing the echo before the voice in a way that is simply madden- ing to everybody that hears it.
