"Look Out for the Outside Man"

A highly respected young colored man
from Boone county, came to this city last
week, for the purpose of visiting relatives
and purchasing some winter clothing. AT
ter he arrived, he started up Illinois street
with the intention of taking the first Mas
sachusetts avenue car that came along
He was just opposite the entrance to the
tunnel. when he was approached by an
"outside man" of one of the torres on s.
Illinois street, who took him by the arm
and invited him to 60 into their store and
examine some goods. The young man
told him he was watching for a car.
whereupon the very kind "outside man"
offered to take him in out of the cold, and
notify him of the near approach of the
first car. Not being accustomed to the
tricks of these outside gents" the unsus-
pecting young farmer was led into the
store to await the arrival of the first car,
and in the mean time, take glance at the
goods. Approaching the seeming kind
Dess of the man of the street, he purchas-
ed an overcoat and paid 1915 for it. The
"outside man protested to have given
him an unusual bargain in the coat, aid
when they reached the street again, he
proposed that the young farmer treat over
the result of their short acquaintance, but
the young cOuntryman ulu not approve Vi
the proposition, and went on his way re-
joicing.
That evening, the proprietor OF the store
sent his money to the bank, and there it
vas discovered that one of the five-dollar
bills was counterfeit The 'outside gent
was on hand again. and remembered that
that very bill was given to him the day
previous, by the young man from Boone
county So they 'layed" for the young
farmer, and the next day he passed the
store on his way to the depot. He was
requested to come in and fork over another
five dollar bill in exchange for the bad
BILL or be asrested. The young man de-
MED having given them the bill, and re-
fused to fork over. The Jews had po-
iceman to cruelty him at once, and as a
result of his short acquaintance with this
unusually polite "outside man." he was
lodged in jail on charge of passing coun.
terfeit money. To make long story short
the accused was taken before Commission
er Rocker last Monday, and after a brie
examination his innocence was established
and he was released.
1t is very probable that suit for false
imprisonment will be instituted by the
young mans friends.
This should be lesson to countrymeI
visiting the city. Look out for these very
polite "outside men" on South Illinois

The meeting held in the Opera House
last evening to express sympathy for tho
Irish people in their present distress, was
highly creditable one both in the character
and number of those in attendance. It was
an assemblsge that embraced all national
titles and oreeds, and Catholic and Profess
tant, Israelte and infdel, united in their ex-
preston of the most ardent sympathy for
the sufferings of the tenant farmers of the
Green Isle. What is far better, they adopt
ed the suggestion of the GLOBE, and con-
tributed literally of their means to feed the
starving people driven from thoir homes by
the unfeeling landlords, and left to suffer and
perhaps to die. This latter fact testified that
there was sympathy in the hearts Of those
present as we'll as upon their lips.

WASHINGTON dispatch states that the
House committee on agriculture, after the
holidays, will probably recommend the vir-
tual adjustment of the department of agri-
culture. Ever since LIE Duo got in his bill
to make the commissioner of agriculture
member of the cabinet, the committee has
had no peace from his importunings. They
will report adversely on this bill and then
recommend that the department be cur
tailed to a bureau of the interior depart
ment, and that the Office of commissioner of
agriculture be abolished. This will be q
severe blow to the tea and bamboo interests
of the country, for their culture will have no
patron if LIE Due is turned out in the cold.
But republics we're always ungrateful, and
we suppose there is no use in shedding tears
over the matter.
