LA — Harsh Reception of a Stranger Who Had No Guile in His Heart, ‘A citizen of High street East was sleeping the sleep of the just at mid- night when there came a loud and con- tinuous ring at the door bell. The awakened citizen slid out of bed and threw up a window and called out: “Who's that down there?” “Mel” replied a voice. “And what do you want?” “Have you lost any money?” “Not that I know of. Why do you ask?” “I was comin’ along here and struck @ nickel right in front of your house with my foot, and was flung on my back and almost killed. Sure you didn’t lose it?’ “Did you wake me up to tell me you'd found a nickel?” shouted the indignant citizen. “Of course I did. I’m an honest man, I am. Some fellers would have grab@ed it and cantered away and kept about it, but that haint my way. If I @nd any money I’m going to try my best to find the loser. So you haint lost a nickel?” “No, sir, and I’d like to punch your head!” “For being honest!” “Yes! If I had a brickbat I'd make you see stars! Get along, or I'll come down and break your neck short off!” “Then you don’t lay any claim to the nickel?” asked the man on the steps. “No! No!” “All right. I’m an honest man. Somebody has lost a nickel, and it’s not for me to walk off with it. You can slide back-into your bed and I'll try the next door.” He tried the next door, and the next, and the next, and he was still trying when two half-dressed citizens rushed out to him with clubs and drove him clattering away into the darkness. As they gave up the chase he halted and called back: “I was born an honest man, and you can’t discourage me in this way. I'll try every house on the other side of the block and see if I can’t find the victim of misfortune.”’—Chicago Dispatch, A Case of Conscience, Herr Beerbaum—It was a dry Sua- day, Rat, nicht wahr?

The independence of women is oreat- ing sad havoc among the young men who would like to marry, but whose finances are dependent on their own exertions.

She had not been gone ten minutes when the General's nephew entered the room. “You should have been here just a little sooner,” said the old gentleman, slyly, “I had @ caller whom you would have been charmed to meet.” “Miss Studywél}, you mean. that she was coming here.” “Oh, she’s an acquaintance of yours?” “Yes. I wanted to see you about the place she is asking for.” “TI see; but your influence is quite un- necessary. I’ve decided to appoint her. So you can set your mind at rest.” “Bet my mind at rest!

Jadge Herrick Does Not Yet See the Point tm the Little Falls Case. Little Falls, July 16—A. M. Mills and Otty Attorney Decoster received the opinion of Judge McLennan, of the Su- preme Court, in the Little Falls police case this morning. The judge holds that the Little Malls city charter does not contemplate that police officer ap- pointees shall be selected by competi- tive examination and that the Legisla- ture in passing the charter bill in this form mde sectien 9. article 5, of the State Constitution, imperative in re- spect to this particular case. He there- fore orders that the injunction shall be vacated. This opinion {sg exactly opposite to what was expected here, and seems to conflict in every respect with the opin- ion of Judge Herrick, of Albany, in the Aldrige case. The action of the Police and Fire Board being now sustained, the new force will succeed the old one. McEvoy ana O’Conor, attorneys for the old force, have not determined what their future action wil be. Judge D. Cady Herrick after carefully reading the above dispatch said: “I do not see how I can express an opinion on ‘this as it does not contain any potnt. The tenor of the article would imply that the cage, however decided, rested on the terms of the Little Falls charter, concerning which I am not informed.” Recorder Albert Hessberg sald: “It is blind, very blind. The first half of the article as I read it, is in consonance with Judge Herrick’s opinion, and hence the concluding paragraph, which is a detached comment, must be a mistake, or else the last fs right and the first mixed. Nothing is given of the opinion of Judge McLennan upon which a sen- sible interview could be based. I can certainly say nothing on ft.” Neil Gilmour, ex-Superintendent of the State Department of Public Instruc- tion, sald: “I know Judge McLennan to be a good judge. I have not read Judge Herrick’s civil service opinion, and of course can say nothing about this.” Ex-Mayor John Boyd Thacher sald: “I can say nothing about this case at Little Falls. I agree with Judge Her- rick tn his civil service decision, byt hot with one of the reasons given in his opinion where he refers to debates and explanations given im the Constitution- al Convention. I do not think the Con- stitution, the State’s organic law, should be thus construed, or thet any atten- tion should be given to what may haye been said about it.” ed ae eS YALH AND OAMBRIDGH AGREB. q English Team Will Sali for This Country on August 31. London, July 16.—President Horan, of the Cambridge University Athletic Club, has cabled to C. H. Sherrill, Jr., of the Yale Graduate Advisory Com- mittee on Track Athletics, that Cam- bridge agrees to the date, October 65, } specified in Yale’s counter challenge, that the Cambridge team agrees to sall by the Cunard Steamship Company on August 31; and that Cambridge desires the 300-yard dash in preference to the 220-yatd dash suggested by Yale, be- cauge of the shortness of the stralght- wey tracks in America. ir. Horan recelved to-day a reply from Yale stating that Yale approves of mbridge’s Conditions.

Grand Jury Finds Hs Subordinates Utterly Unfit for Omjce. New York, July 16—Judge Lacombe, in the United States Circuit Court to- day, charged the grand jury in regard to the escape of the post office thieves from Ludlow street fall. The grand jury made a presentment this afternoon in the matter of the es- cape. Sheriff Tamsen is censured for neglect in keeping subordiantes wh» did not know their duty. The principal re- sponsibility for the escape {fs fixed upon ex-Warden Raabe, whom the jury say was guilty of gros and culpable neglect, while the under keepers, Schneer, | Schoen and McCabe are found to be utterly unfit men, who displayed at the eritical moment not only cowardice, but stupidity, if nothing else. 2 aE FACTORIES HUMMING IN MEa‘0o. Depreciation in Silver Making Importation Costly Is the Cause. Mexico City, July 16—Many print- cloth mills are running night and day, and even now are unable to supply or- ders.
