A correspondent of the Hartford

ileton, OF Mobile, Ala, was in her bed
room, in the absence of her husband,
putting away some iewelry, she noticed
that a lamp in the back part of the room
had thrown the shadow of man, who
was crouchng under the center-table, on
The floor at her feet Instead of fainting
with fear or shrieking for help, the brave
woman seated herself at the very table
under which the misCreant was concealed,

of being in the tenor that she had signihed,

mate friend, in which she stated her posi-
lion, and urged him TO hasten to her relief
with police assistance. At last came the

opened it. The ruse had been a success.
She not only admitted Bridget, but also

to secure him with hardly a struggle.

Master Harry j. Koch is the marvel OF
Buffalo. He is seven years of age, and
able to add figures away up in the thou
sands with marvelouf rapidity and correct,
ness. What adds to the marvel is the fact
that the boy has never attended school,
and has no knowledge of the ordinary
methods of computation.

A German Boom.

From the fact that petitions are In circulation
In Baltimore asking Senator Whyte to recon-
slider his purpose not TO be candidate for re-
election 1t Is thought he Is quite willing to ire
consider" From the further fact that some OF
the western Maryland papers are blowing the
horn of Mr.. A. P. German, the young Napoleon
Of Mary land politics. and are showing the Won
derful things he Will accomplish for the state OF
Maryland by the execution of the project for a
canal from Georgetown to Baltimore, 1t would
appear that Mr.. German does not propose to
allow Mr.. Whyte to reconsider, but will him.
self be a candidate for the L. S. Senate.
1t Is stated In behalf Of Mr.. German that less
than two years ago he organized the Maryland
Canal Company flor extending the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal to Baltimore), and that In two or
three years he Will have 1t completed supplying
Gan outlet In the thriving city OF Baltimore
Instead OF the dead port OF Georgetown" &c.
Through his agency the Maryland House Of Cor
rection has been located at Jessup'S Cut, because
In that neighborhood the greatest amount of
work upon the canal Will be required,
owing to the deep excavation, and the labor of
that Institution could thus be better utilized.
Through the same agency the legislature au-
thorked Mr.. Germans canal company to use
the labor OF the house of correction free Of
charge; which was certainly very good thing
Tor the company, at least, and shows that Mr..
g. has good deal of influence with the legisla-
ture. He Is expected to "secure further legis-
lation" In the same connection as soon as the
legislature meets this winter, and 1t Is declared
that work upon the new canal Will be COM
menced actively next year. 1t remains to be
seen how much OF boom this canal project
may give to Mr.. German, but IL he has really
made up his mind to contest for Mr.. Whyte's
seat In the senate the fight will be a lively one.

A delegation Of the 10000 people Of Massa-
chusetts who supported Ben Butler last year
have asked him to run again, saying they are
OF the same mind this year. He answers that
he, too, is of the same mind, and consents.
Now If the people OF Memphis and New Or
leans would invite him to go down and attend
to sanitary matters there they would do SEN
sible thing. Whatever may be thought of his
politics or his military capacity, he certainly
showed the people Of New Orleans how to keep
their city so clean that yellow fever could not

Edison In his search for platinum is the victim
of as many bogus discoveries as Is Mr.. Ross In
the pursuit OF his missing child. The great in
Ventor recently got letter from somebody out
west informing him that the metal he so much
desires could doubtless be found In the Iron
Mountain regions Of southern Missouri. Mr..
Edison wrote In reply, that owing to the large
outlay OF money he had made to secure plati-
mum, he did not feel disposed to risk any more
money In experiments, but he solicits samples
from Missouri to test In his laboratory

Indignant TailOrs.

The drollest disturbance that ever
took place within tho walls of theater
happened at the Haymarket in 1905,
Years previous, Foote had produced at
that house burlesque piece, the author
of which was never known, entitled ''Tbe
Tailors; or, Tragedy for Warm Weath
er." The satire of the piece gave UNI
bragg to the craft after which 1t was
called. In the year above ramed Dow
ton announced its revival for his benefit.
The bills were scarcely issued when he
received letter requesting him to change
the play, as it was highly offensive to the
trade, and promising il he would do so
he should he assured full hous5. Dow
ton took nonotice of this communication,
upon which the knights of the needle
waxed wroth, called meeting, and
swore they would oppose him with might
and main. Menacing epistles now pour
ed in upon him, in which be was inform
ed that $4,000 tailors would attend the
theater to boot down the play. One who
signed himself ''Death'; wrote to the
proprietors to say that 10000 more could
be mustered if necessary. Dowton laugh
ed at these threats, and persisted in his
programme. But when the night came
he soon discovered they were not idle
ones. The brotherhood had contrived to
monopo]ize not only every seat in the
gallery save two, but to fill every other
part of the house. Dowtons appearance
was the signal for the uproar to begin; a
pair of shears was thrown at him; he
offered 500 to any person who would
point but the man who threw them. His
offer was received with yell and show
er Of other missiles. Not word would
the audience listen to. In vain did he
now offer to change the piece to 1.-THE
Village lawyer they would accept no
compromise, and the uproar within was
echoed by crowd without who could no
gain admittance. The riot now becamt
so violent that it was necessary to sene

A troop of Life Guards was sent for; this
quickly settled the matter; there was as
general stampede, but not before sixteen
had been captured in their flight.-Bes.

A Noble Woman.

A five dollar note would be an extrava-
CANT price to pay for her establishment
and all it contains, but if heroic woman
hood ever found embodiment in human

her tireless ,vigilence. Hailed by ter

splendor, could not have commanded the
adulation which, spontaneously went
forth to that plain old woman. For
thirty.eight days and nights during the
frighful harvest of death at Grenada
those withered hands were often the only
ones to soothe the burning brow or close
dying eyes. To her tender cafe were
committed their children by dying pa
rents. Appointed by the divine man

and administrative, in that season of

before. and were another epidemic to

A moment later and the tall footman
reappeared. He apologized for his mas

How got out of the house-how
got back to the station, and spent the
night in wretched inn-how returned
to town and told my enraged relations
my woeful tale-wherein played such a
sorry part--how my abject letter of
apology was returned unread-I cannot
tell, I only know old Fosberry died
worth 100000, leaving his niece sole
heiress, and that I quarreled with Jack
Evans about it; nor have ever spoken
to him since.
