in the narrow pew,
And wonder at all the mysteries that rise before
her view
The noise,ess movement down the aisle the crowd
and faces new;
The organ that peals out many strains, though

The arches, and windows Of stained glass that
tower to such height
The eagle that bears the Bible up; the choir in
their robes of white.
To wonder and watch with ehildless awe that i:
more than mere surprise.
That seems to catch in the tones OF earth some
echo of the skies,
And reflects itself in the tender face in the solemn
wide gray eyes,
Out of whose cloudless, dewy depth glimmers the
earliest ray
OF the awakening love whose dawn heralds fuller
day,
When. though the shadows may darker lie. the
mists will melt away

In the praises rising to Gods high throne, in con-

And surely the blessing which falls On them may

Over the innocent baby head bent down in mute

Begging in Seven Languages.
Philadelphia Times.

One of the most persistent street beg
gars, superior to all rebufis, who has
piled his trade along Chestnut. Arch
and Spring Garden streets for four or
five years past, has been Charles Wag-
ner: German, wearing spectacles, who
generally sported clean linen. 1t is
said he can beg in seven languages.
He was arrested a year ago and taken
before magistrate Smith, to whom he
promised SO earnestly to discontinue
his mendicant career that he was re-
leased. Yesterday, when he accosted
an old gentleman on Chestnut street
and would not be "bhuffed" off, he was
reported to the police and arrested. He
had over 50 in his pockets. A number
of persons who knew Wagner and had
been annoyed by him for several years
past. including a representative Of a
charitable association, appeared against
him. He said he was a teacher of Ian
guages He promised to leave the city
if released, and. implored the magistrate
not to send him to the house of correc-

A PRETTY WONAN'S PICTURE.
1t Forms an Important Link in Z
Chain OF Evidence.
Western News St. Joseph. Mo


Frank Hammer, assistant postmaster
at -Allendale, No, was arrested by Capt.
r. N. Elliott on Tuesday evening, and
taken to Kansas City, where his pre-
liminary examination occurred yester-
day. He is charged with abstracting
money and other valuables from regis
tered packages. The crime is said to
have been committed about October s..
Hammer was bound over in the sum of
81 800 to appear before the United
States district court. At last accounts
he had not given bond
Allendale is hamlet with a pcpula-
ton of about 200 persons, situated in
the northeastern part of Worth county,
eight miles from Grant City, the county
seat, and thirty miles from Hopkins,
the nearest point at which railroad con-
nection is obtained. c. W. Hammer,
brother of Frank Hammer, is postmas-
ter there The two brothers were part
ners in a small country store. For
Some time it had been known that a
person unknown to the authorities had
been tampering with the mails in this
section of the country. Several decoy
letters were sent, and the Office at Al
lendale began to be suspected. A mer-
chant named Cunningham sent four
one dollar bills in a letter. To these
Hammer helped himself. About this
time he began to find out that suspi-
cions were aroused.
Certain correspondence between gov
eminent officers met his eye He put
back the 81 into the letter and forward
ed it to its destination. The act was
done in bungling manner. The inves-
tigation that followed this served to
deepen suspicion against the Allendale
posteffice. 1t was a young lady's pho
tograph, however, that served as piv-
otal point upon which the blame was
turned against Hammer. A registered
package containing photographs was
sent from Grant City to Allendale.
Hammer opened the package and took
therefrom the picture Of very beauti-
full young lady. Then he sealed the
envelope and delivered it. By some
means it became known that Hammer
had done this. A warrant was sworn
out and the arrest was made. His
trunk was opened, and in his album
the convicting photograph was found.
Hammer is an unmarried man, about
% years Of age. He has heretofore
sustained an unblemished reputation.
The amount Hammer has taken at diff:
ferent times is not known. He might
have escaped detection but for the
picture.

ALANDLORD MAIL.
What Happened to the Prosecutor of
EN-Speaker A. X. Hadlcy.

The family of Mr. Amos K. Hadley
ex-speaker OF the house of representa-
tiyes of this state, now in this city, have
been shut out OF their home and their
baggage kept by an irate landlord who
demanded $50 overdue rent. The
Hadley family rented house at No.
237 East Seventy-ninth street and now
occupy it, but have been prevented
from moving their furniture and trunks
from the old house to No. 9 Bank
street. For the past year and half
Mr.. Hadley and his family have occu-
pied the French flat at No. 9 Bank
street, Mr.. J. P. Huyerman being the
landlord. About two weeks ago Mr..
Huyerman visited Mr.. Hadley, and
said that he had been offered more
money for the fiat, but agreed. to let
them have it if they would pay more.
Mr.. Hadley responded that his family
intended to move, so it would make
no difference to them Mr.. Hadley at
the time was $50 in debt to the land
lord. A day or so later Mr.. Huvermal,
again called upon Mr.. Hadley and
stated that the party he referred to
had decided not to rert the flat, and
the Hadleys could remain. Mrs. Had
ley informed the landlord that they
had decided to move, and her husband
would make the rent all right
On Saturday Mr.. Hadley procured an
express wagon and drove up to the
door. When Mr.. Hadley moved into
Mr.. Huyerman's house he had six
trunks in Storage, and asked Mr.
Huyerman if he would allow him to
put the trunks in the garrets, which
was agreed to. While the trunks stood
at the door two ladies called upon Mrs.
Hadley and were admitted into the
house. When they were about to leave
Huyerman locked the door and put
the keys in his pocket, d the ladies
were told to go out by the basement
door. Mr.. Hadley and the expressman
called upon Mr.. Huyerman and de,
manded an explanation. Huyerman
said:
''Pay the rent balance. as he shook
his fist in Mr. Hadley's face. Mr.. Had
ley went outside and the door was
locked upon him, and Huyerman re-
fused to allow the furniture to be NOV
ed. Latter in the day Mr.. Hadley re-
moved his family to No 237 East
Seventy-ninth street, and procured a
warrant for Huyerman's arrest, and the
landlord was taken before Justice
Smith Of the Jefferson Market court.
Justice Smith characterized the land
lords conduct as a piece of highland
ed injustice, fined Huyerman $40 and
put him under $500 bail for his good
behavior for six months or to stand
committed for three months, Ind add.
ed:
'1tis about time for you to under
stand that landlords do not own their
tenants, body and soul. You have the
right to eject them for non-pay1n emf
of rent, but you can have no lien on
their baggage or furniture unless as a
boarding house and hotel keeper"
There was no bondsman in court
and the landlord was locked up in
prison.

4 Race Between an Ox.Cart and a Mail
Train
From the Columbus fGa.O Inuuirer.

From the Columbus (Ga.) Inquirer.
Just as the 5:35 p. m. eastward-bOund
fast mail train was steaming out of
OpeEka, hack containing three Irish
gentleman drove up to the depot of the
Western railroad, only to be told that
the train that they were in search of
was that just disappearing behind the
curve. Business of the most pressing
nature demanded their presence in Co
lumbus at o'clock The hack which
had brought them to the depot had
left, SO nothing remained for them to
hire but a four-ox team, the animals OF
which were helping their driver to
finish handful of sugar-cane fodder
and a pone of corn bread
Five dollars" said one. Mr.. Collins,
to carry us to Columbus"
Five dollars more" said another
Mr.: Cooney, to carry us there against
S o'clock:
Five dollars MORE" said the third
MIR. Burton, to get in ahead Of the
train"
So much money to be made, all in
two hours and twenty minutes, set the
driver crazy. He looked at his team
for moment and then at the thirty
miles which lay between him and Co
lumbus, and then at the probable and
fiartly possible SIS to be made by full
plling the gentlemen's desires.
Use yer man, boss" he said, anC
cracking his raw-hide whip, he mount
ed his cart and started on his journey
The first mile was made in slow time
but after that they warmed up, and ir
an hour they had caught up with the
train on the east side of Salem. The
darkness of the evening prevented the
passengers on the train from seeing the
race, but the train, with its red light
and fiery furnace, was distinctly visible
to the ox-cart passengers as they
whirled over the wagon-road that lay
alongside the railroad, and they were
more and more delighted as they saw
the distance increasing between them
At Smiths Station the mail train was
entirely lost sight of, and in two hours
from the time the cart had left Opelika
the rattle of its wheels might be heard
as it rolled over the upper bridge into
Columbus.
Boys" said Collins, as soon as they
had domiciled at hotel, we have
beaten the train by twenty minutes

The Monkey and its Domestic Relations.
London Telegraph.

London Telegraph.
In India, where the monkeys live
among men, and are playmates of their
children the Hindoos have grown fond
of them, and the four handed folk par.
ticipate in all their simple household
rites. In the early morning, when the
peasant goes out to yoke his oxen, and
the crow wakes up and the doe
stretches himself and shakes off the
dust in which he has slept all night,
the old monkey creeps down the peepul
tree only half awake, and yawns and
looks about him, puts straw in his
mouth and scratches himself contem-
platively. Then one by one the whole
family come slipping down the tree
trunk, and they all yawp and look
about and scratch. But they are
sleepy and peevish and the youngsters
get cuffed for nothing, and begin to
think life dull Yet the toilet has to be
performed, and whether they like it or
not, the young ones are sternly pulled
up, one by one by their mother to un-
dergo the process. The scene, though
repeated exactly every morning, loses
nothing Of its delightful comicality
and the monkey brats seem all to be
in the joke of taking in mamma" But
mamma was young herself not very
long ago, and treats each ludicrous
affection OF suffering with the profound
est unconcern, and as she dismisses one
"cleansed" youngster with cuff and
stretches out her hand for the next
ones tail or leg in the most business
like and serious manner possible.
