A man in Bridgeport, Conn.,, has been left
in a rather bewildered condition by little ex-
day. His son robbed him, and he, thinking
it would be as we'll to play the Roman father
caused the arrest of the young scapegrace.
When the case was tried, the court fined the
boy seventeen dollars, and ordered the father
to pay it. The old man is under the impress
sion now that he has not cleared any money in
the arrangement, and is inclined to believe, on
the whole, that he might have directly negotia-
ted more satisfactory adjustment of the little

The Vast Interests Involved In the Project.
The vast anu united imperialist pressure which is

forcing the Executive to fulflment OF its railway

among the other Sclavonian EaIionalites. The Cor

would probabfy bring about '.the revival OF the

government has already addressed an ''extremely
