Yesterday morning as the chain

gang We're working in front OF a
store on Commsrcia street, u little

"Why, there's the man that stole
mammals jewelry." The mother,
who WAS in the store, bearing the
child's exclamation, ckme TO the

She stated that the man bad been

him valuable breastpin aud ring.
Mr.. Sullivan showed her the ring
that ha7asheeu given him by Can
turo transforming, which the lady
identified az her property. Canturo
was then Questioned about the
breastpin, but he stout'y denied

the prisoners to the Jail in the
evening the Captain notified Dep

when tho latter went over to the
Jail aud accused Canturo of the
theft, bat the latter persisted in his
denial. Finally Deputy Gerkins
told him that, unleus he disclosed
where the breastpin WAC. he would
put him in the "cooler" and feed
him on bread and water during the
remainder of his term Of imprison'
ment This prospect of lenten iare
and solitary confinement overpow'
cred Canturo's resolution and ht

THE CONFIDING EDITOR.

The editor of country weekly was sitting
at his table writing the notice for troupe
that had played the night before. The agent
had arrived in town too late to advertise. and
the editor, who had attended the show on a
dead head ticket, wrote as follows
A very slim audience attended the perform
ance last night at McSquiggles Hall. 1t was
a quarter OF nine, when IN response to loud
calls from the gallery Of, "Hlst the rag" that
the cul tain rose, and the play had not pro-
ceeded far before the audience wished that he
delay had been longer Miss Clara Fern, as
"Paullue," was about us much at home In the
part as flea in 4 tar barrel; and the role OF
"Claude Meuotte' in the hands Of Henry
Thornley, was the worst farce seen in these
parts since old Dawson's COW fell down in
Jake Bromleys tar pit. As for the balance
of the cast
At this point the agent of the troupe came
in and remarked:
l. awe expect to come back here ne week

thousand house programmes printed right
away; have EN- at least by Thursday. Post

now; want a big cad" announcing compi-

Iii leave it all to you Don't fail to have
the bills in the express office by Wednesday
night; print this bill here in three colors and
make big display. I've always found that
a show, no matter how good, can't spend too
much in printers ink
The agent rushes off and inside of FIVE min
utes the following notice was on the hook:
The performance gwen to a crowded house
last evening by the Goodwin company, was
the rarest theatrical treat ever seen in this
section. Miss Fern, as an artistic exponent
of the emotional drama has ne equal In Amer

mating between applause and tears. Thorn

feet rapport with the principals, each one of
the company is a separate star. They will
play here next week, and in another col mn
will be found a card from the leading citizens

tit. The house should be packed.
The editor prints and posts the posters,
sends off the express package and after waiting
a couple of weeks hears no more of the show

REGARDING "McDUFF The writer of a
Tribune editorial on Thursday evening remarks
that it accepts the glove as it has been tossed
to it with the understanding that it must not
be too suddenly withdrawn while it will place
the toe close to the mark and cry, Lay on
McDuff" There is considerable mixed meta
phor in the abeve. 1t is not proper to speak
of ''withdrawins" a glove. Gloves are "taken
off, the hand is withdrawn, not the glove
One need not put on glove in order to toe
the mark, gloves are not rule worn

The magician struck big streak of luck
when he fshed up the word "Prestidigitator'

pronounce it gave anybody the power to make
an egg come out Of an empty bag and a jack
