LIVE and learn. The Philadelphia Record
of last Friday relates a confidence game as
practiced on man that was waiting for a
train TO take him from the city:
alt has TO be chronicled again. This
time it Is W. B. Chapman, from Anderson,
South Carolina, and the amount is $40. He
was waiting for train at the West Phila-
delphia depot, on Wednesday, when a stran-
ger approached and induced him to walk
down the street. The stranger unbosom ed
himself and told how his wife and children
had been confined in the hospital and all
about his family affairs. After going a
short distance man, representing himself
as doctor, met them, and the doctor said
that the strange mans wife and child had
been sent to the depot, and asked for $50
as their bill. The stranger gave him $40,
and asked the South Carolina man to loan
him $40, giving him a check for $500,
drawn TO the order of Roper, Turner & Co.,
and signed Livingstone & Co. as security.
He told Chapman to wait for him at the
depot while he raised the money to redeem
the check, and then disappeared and has
not been seen since"

An exchange says /: Township Audi
tors too often neglect the publication of
township accounts. This is required
by law, and penalties affixed for ne
glect. Cases have come before the
courts in several counties of the State,
and the auditors have been fined for
neglect. Tue substance of the several
laws on the subject are as follows
FIRST, The auditors are required in each
borough and township 10 settle the accounts
thereof, and TO publish the same not only in
the newspapers, but also by written or print
ed statements put up in the most public
places in the boroughs and townships as
soon after the close of the fiscal year, which
is on tie first Monday in April, as possible.
SECOND, If the borough or township is in
debt, has funded or floating debt, 1t must
be included in the statement, together with
the valuation of property, ETC.. published IN
at least two newspapers and embraced IN
the written or printed statement also.
1t is necessary that the auditors OF
the respective boroughs and townships
should go to work at once and settle
the accounts, as they are in duty
bound to do, and have them pub
lished as the law directs. When the
borough or township has no indebted
ness neglect to publish incurs fine OF
$40; but if the borough or township is
in debt the neglect to publish incurs a
fine of one thousand dollars.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
World interviewed Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, on the question of a man defend
ing his house and property agains; The in
roads OF burglars. The interview is report
ed thus:
"Mr. Beecher," said the reporter, "you
have read the account of the killing of a
burglar by Captain Richards, of the Sew
enth Regiment. What do you think of it l''
Entirely justifablel'' answered Mr..
Bcecher, with emphasis.
"Supposc you found a burglar in your
house at night; what would you do 20
"Shoot him quick as lightning" ex-
claimed the clergyman, almost fiercely.-
s'Any man who. from motives of personal
safety, allows burglar 10 walk through his
house with impunity not only acts in a cow
ardly manner, but violates one of the most
sacred duties he owes to the community.
Every mans house Is his castle, not only TO
fails to defend it in the same light as l
would a soldier who, being inlrusted with
the defense of tort, allows the enemy un-
resisted TO enter and take possession OF 1t.
To permit a burglar to ransack my house is
an injustice TO the community, because it
holds out a temptation to shiitless young
msn to commit burglaries. Experienced
crdcksmen of course will run i.sks where
there is a big prlze to be won, but ordinary
robberIes are committed by less fearless
men, who would not attempt them if they
knew they would incur the danger of being
killed in the act Now what could a bur-
glar get by coming into my housei The
things he could gather up and carry off are
such a be could not sell for more than $40,
and 90 you think he would risk his life for
that No, indeed But, he argues !:
Beecher is a clergyman; he weuld rather
lose twenty watches than take mans lIte.'
Not bit of it. | wouldn't let him take
even the pointer of a watch. And nOtiron
a property consideration either, but because
it is my duty to defend the sanctity of my
household. My, house, where my wife and
children live, shall not be entered violently
by any man except at his peril. And SO
have taught my wife and all my children TO
shoot, and any burglar who enters my house
may expect to be killed."
The reporter then called Mr.. Beecher's
attention TO the fact that religious paper
published in this city recently offered as
prizes for increasing its subscription lists
three sizes of revolyers, with prospectus
remark that revolver in the house at mid
night is sometimes more useful than a book.
81 think it very good idea and quite
right,'' said Mr.. Beecher."

ed TO S5l 900. The agreement for the divi.
sion of the gate receipts among the walkers
after expenses had been paid, reads: If
only one man competes 45C miles or
more, the whole of the gate receipts (less
expenses) to be paid over TO him; if two
competitors compete $50 miles or more,
the winner to receive three-four,hs of the
receipts, and the second man one-iourth
if three men go 450 miles or more, the win
ner 20 receive One-half, the second man 80
per cent, and the third maR 20 per cent. of
the gate receipts; If four men go $50 miles
or more, the minner to receive one-half, the
second % per cent, the third Is per cent,
and the fourth 10 per cent. of the gate re-
ceipts.
