while in charge of a detective met, in
. police station in Chicago, Mrs. Matte

With wild shrek the lady threw her
arms about his neck, exclaiming,
"Clarence Clarence what have you
done 2" He coidly and sternly com.
manded her to stop, and waved her
away with his hand. Chief O'Donnell,
stood by, relieved her of pistol which
he saw in her pocket, as her cloak was
thrown back. 1t is sulmised that she
intended to shoot the father of her two
children if she had not been overcome

A Pract,cal Joke on a Conascsicut
Audience.

Hartford Correspondent OF tho New York Sun.
The Hon. Damehame Hornet had q very
unpleasant experience lately. Mark Twain
was advertised TO lecture 10 the town Of.
Colchester, but for some reason failed to
get around. Ia the emergency the lecture
DOM mittee decided to employ Mr.. Hornet
to deliysr his celebrated lecture on temper
ance, but SO late 10 the day was this
arrangement made that no bills annouac
ing it could be circulated. and the audience
assem- led expecting to hear the oeiebrat-
cd innocent. Nobody in the town knew
Mark. or had ever heard him lecture.
and they had got the notion that
be was funny and went to the lecture
prepared to laugh Even those on the
platform. except the chairman. did not
know Mr.. Hornet from Mark Twain,
and SO. when he was introduced, thought
nothing OF the name. as they knew
Mark Twain wss nom de plume and
Supposed his real name was Hornet. The
dsnousmeut is thus told: Dir. Hornet FIRST
remarked; "lntemperance is the curse
of the country" The audience burst into
a merry laugh. He knew it could not be
at his remark. and thought that his clothes
must be awry, and he asked the Chairman
in whisper if he was all right and got
yes tOf Su 6HoWoIs AASu nS shi0 :
Rum Stays more than diseased" 4 loud :
er laugh He couldn'. understand it. but
went on. 1T breaks up happy homes!"-
Still louder mirth. ut is carrying young
men down to death and helll"-a perfect
roar and applause. Mr.. Hornet began to
get excited. He thought they were guying
him. but he proceeded We must crush
.hs Rerpeut!"-s tremendous howl of
laughter. The men on the platform, ex-
cept the Chairman, squirmed as they
laughed. Hornet couldn't stand it.
what ! en saying is gospel
TRUTH be cried. It's au-
dience fairly beloved with mirth. Hornet
turned to man on the stage and said:
DO you see anything very ridiculous in
my remarks or behaviour" Yes. he, hs
its intensely funny-ha ha hal Go onl'
replied the roaring mani This is an in
sultl'' cried Hornet, wildly dancing about.
More laughter ana CO: les of ''Go on.
Twain" And then the Ghairnan got the
idea OF the thing. and rose up and e4-
planned the situation, and the men on the
stage quit laughing and blushed very red,
and the folks in the audience looked al
each other in mighty sheepish way, and
they quit laughing, too. Aud then MIR.
Hornet, being thoroughly mad, told them
be had never got into town 90 entirely
populated By asses and idiots, and having
said that. he left the hall. aud the assem-
blage then voted TO censura Twain aud
aud the Chairman. and dispersed amidst
deep gloom.
