Chicago leads the fashion. What an uncommonly
sweet thing in defalcaions and bribery this last is.
Pension Agent agrees to get alady appointed as his
successor if she will pay his debts of honor so this
honorable gentleman called them, which amounted
to more than -, 900. The payments were to be
made to a gentleman who is reported as the father
in-law of a distinguished crim-we beg pardon, of
tho Presidents private secretary and after they had
been made, this precious person turned up
with a claim for $4,000 more which he
said she had also assumed. This demand
she seems to have succeeded in resisting Her pre-
decessor turned out to be defauter to the amount
of $3, OOO and his briny entreatics, Miss Sweet
was weak enough to agree to receipt for his accounts
in full and give him weeks time to make the de-
felt good. Several months passed and he did not do
as he promised and there danger that an exanl-
nation would bring the matter to light; but Com
missioner Baker, who seems to have taken hand in
this little game just in time switched the examiner
on another track with peremptory telegram.
Miss Sweet appealed to him to have the deficiency
made good, and thus to her from the suspicion
of being herself a defaulter. No reply. Finally the
Commissioner and the defaulter appeared Ill COM
pany. and demanded that she should make up the
amount, as she had assumed it. She raised 80, 600
and with this her enforced contributions ceased
This is Miss Sweets story, and it looks like very
unpleasant story for Commissioner Baker to meet
If it is sustained there will be more pity than blame
for the victim, and a very decided loahing and con
tempt for the men who could combine to bully and
rob and cheat woman.

Another venturesOme spirit has been exercising
little too much familiarity with dynamite, and has
paid dearly for his pleasure. 1t was at the Cymmer
tunnel in Wales that he sat down by the explosive
box with his candle stuck in piece of damp clay
within about six inches of the dynamite" lie rose
up but not of his own accord, and he has not been
seen since, and thirteen Others rose up with him.
From this it is inferred that the candle must have
fallen. and gning the fuse caused the dynamite to
explode" Quite likely, and quite likely too that
miners at homo and abroad would do well to modify
these easy habits which put other people to such
sudden and lasting inconvenience. Such affairs
seem to be becoming alarmingly fashionable and ia
miliar. At this rate it will not be long before we
shall have the bad boys in Sunday school books sci
entifcally blown up on Sunday afternoons, and the
heroine in less religious fiction who has become a
nurse in tho hospital meeting her lover who has just
been scraping the sky in company with nitro-glycer
inc cans and the usual products of an energetic up
heayal Some years ago the magazines were COM
PEELED seriously to announce that they could not
ceiye any more stories of love and war in which the
wounded hero encountered the merciful heroine
among the dead and dying. but they might be
induced to reverse their decision if the hero made
his final entry after sky journey of two or three
miles and riding on tho wild and explosive current.
Perhaps We may have even q dynamite drama, with
candles regardless of expense, and real explosions.
That was thoughtful investment of the lady who
has been distributing pensions in Chicago. She in
sured her life she teses, in favor of the United
States Of America In order that the Republic might
not suffer deriment in case death should relieve her
of the attentions of Messrs Blakely and Campbell

as Europe has been shocked with the terrible
ferocity shown at Salonica, it is announced
that Bulgaria is disturbed by an Instruction

Servian intrigues. and is deemed alarming by
the Porte. the proximity of the disturbed

the new outbreak with an exceptional impor-
