Curious Story. of a Debt.

About fifteen years ago, says the
Missouri Republican, there lived in
the southern district of st. Louis a
man named John Ritter, who carried
on the business of timer. Becoming
involved in pecuniary difficulties, he
borrowed of 4 friend, John Mack, q
druggist. who was one of his business
neighbors, $175. In a short time, and
before he could return the money, Rit-
ter failed and fed, no one knew where.
Years elapsed and no word or .intima.
tiOa of him was received. In the mean
time Mack, the lender, died, and prob
ably with him died all knowledge of
the debt. But last April Mr.. Conrad
Faith, administrator OF Mack's
estate, saw an advertised letter ad-
dressed to MIR. John Mack, and by the
authority which his position gave him,
obtained and read it. The letter, dated
at Hiogo, Japan, was signed John Rit-
ter, and asked for the address of John
Mack. Mr.. Faith wrote in reply that
Mack was dead, but that he was the
administrator of his estate. A week
ago he received, to his surprise and
qualification, another note containing
draft on account of Ritter and in fa-
vor of Mack, from the Oriental Bunk
corporation, Hi0go, Japan, dated June
3, and drawn on Messrs. Il. Bell, and
and G. F. Smithers, agents at
New York for the Bank of Mon
treal, for 1904 in American
gold, which amount comprehendetl the
original loan and interest at compound
rate. Probably those who knew Mr..
Ritter in st. Louis, and were acquaint-
cd with the circumstance of his depart
ure, regarded him as dishonest man,
but this transaction reveals the fact
that though at one time unfortunate in
his business ventures, he possess
ed an honest purpose, and it must
have been happy moment of his life
ut which he was able to vindicate his
fair fame and feel the proud conscious
ness that he had discharged an honest
debt, the burden of which had probably
weighed upon his mind for many years
while struggling against adverse for
tune. Doubtless the pleasure attend
ing the act had been heightened if his
benefactor had lived to know that in
making the loan he had not been the
victim of misplaced confidence.

Heavy, Dla.io'an,a i'a,as Robslel'rI;Jj.' .

.
It has long been known that the
stages passing along Broadway are in
tested by certain ailroit class Of f.
male thieves who. commit very many
robberies, but the most daring exploit
Of the gang was performed yesterday.
About one P. IL, Mr.. jerome L. Babe,
q wealthy diamond merchant who Ar
r1ved from England Z fortnight back,
got into q Fifth avenue stsee 'at ''the
New York Hotel to 60 to Wall street,
In the left hand breast pocket of his
coat was package containing diamonds
that he had purchased for e, 600 An the
rough in London, Just from the South
African diamond mines, and which had
been cut Tor the New York market,
making ths aggregate value Of the gems
over 80, 900 in gold. Mr.. Babe took 4
seat in the lower left had corner of the
vehicle, leaning his left arm oati Of the
window and holding =, cane IN his right
hand. The stage passed along until it
arrived opposite the CITY Hall, when
MI. Babe mechnnaoally.: passed
his hand over his pocket
to assure himself Of the safety Of his
treasure. =" To his Consideration he
missed the package, and ON examining
his. coat found that some thief had cut
through the outer cloth and then clip
ped off:pocket and diamonds together.
A number of passengers had left On the
route, and the only occupants of the
stage when Mr.. Babe discovered his
loss were a lady aud gentleman. whose
names the victim, in his excitement,
forgot to take. Mr. Babe rushed from
the stage; procured a,hac1, and went
straight to the Central Omca whore,
after conferring with Superintendent
Kelso, he sought the services Of De-
tective Elder, who, with Detective Far.
ley, arc working up the case. Mr..
Babe offers q reward of 81, 600 for the
recovery of the property, which CON-
sists of the following stones:;> One
package containing five diamonds,
weighing eight carats; one package Of
ten diamonds, weighing ten .carats; .
third package of eight diamonds,
weighing ten and one-fourth oarats
another package Of twenty-five dia.

American Soda-Water.


Soda-water was first made about
seventy years ago. The credit of the
invention 10 said to be due to Austin
Thwaites, of Dublin.
The manufacture of the water, and
the methods of drawing il, have been
vastly improved during the past ten or
fifteen years. In few other departments
of inventive taste and skill have greater
strides been made towards the period
named. American ingenuity. seems to
deserve the credit of leading the van
in the march Of improvement, for even
the French, with al their skill in mat
ters of bibulous and gastronomic,
learned something new about drinking
when somo enterprising Yankee set up
an American soda fountain" at the
great exposition of 1857. The "soude
Amerlcaine la creme glacee" was q
novelty to the Parisians and their
guests, and met with hearty welcome
from all. -.
A Paris paper noticing the "great
success in the potable line, said
''It is really one of the euriosities of
the exposition to watch the representa-
tives of every nation on the face of the
globe as thoy make q first trial of the
new beverage. The crowd is SO great
that they are formed in line by the
police, and the first securing checks
take q drink in turn.
GAS many as 4, 900 glasses have been
sold in one day, much to the satisfac-
tion of the parties in charge. The con-
trast between the soda as served in the
American style and the eau gazoe.sc OF
the French cafe is SO decided as to
make the permanent Introduction Of
the former certainty"
The manufacturers of the old style
of apparatus are, of course, loud in
their denunciations of the new. They
say that gas never fully parts with the
sulphuric acid it brings over from the
generator unless it be allowed to ex-
pand in ''rising bell, -" rs III their ma
chimes. As to the truth of their OBJ
lection We are unable to Judge; but
whether valid or not, the new arrange
ment being SO much moro convenient
than the old, continues to win favor
abroad rs we'll as ut home. We find
from examination Of the catalogue of a
prominent manufacturer that the Amer
ican soda apparatus is now in use not
only in Europe, but has found it's way
to far off Australia md even to China.

my husband wrote in hurry to say
that he had been called across the bay
to attend an old patient, and would not

This was dreadful news, indeed. Alone
