A well dressed gentleman found him
self in very embarrassing situation
Yesterday He had left his money at
home, and not nickel or a car ticket
could he find in his clothing. He was
about to leave the car, when a perfect
stranger, with sinister cast of coun-
tenance. rendered the gentleman nickel,
who gladly accepted it and dropped it
into the box. The gentleman then shook
his unknown benefactor by the hand,
thanking him for the confidence and ac-
commodation, and asking for his address,
so as to return the money. Never
mind" responded the generous man,
fiercely, ''it's a counterfeit, anyhow.
The street car company will make that
hellhound of driver redeem it. They
will dock his wages I've got no spite
at you. He is the scoundrel | am after.
He has trifed with the affections of my
sister, but this will show him what sort
of man am when my blood is up. -

official holding high position said This even

State against Conkhng on account of this
Sprague affair. We ali feel that he has
dragged down one of the most honored
names in our State and degraded ln the vile
slough OF his society the fame of one Of our
special queens. His pursuit of Mrs Sprague,
when he knew that his attentions only
made her the laughing stock of Washing

who were so proud CT the Chase family, feel
Mrs. Sprague's degradation almost as much
as II she had been a member Of our fami
lies.n This is given as a mere incident of
the goesips OF the day. How much Conk-
ling's connection with this affair might af-
feet his position under the next admluIstra-
tion Ia not necessary to consider. The fact
that Blaine is the principal adviser Of Il g

certain that the Grant people will not be
any too prominent, and explains pretty well
THE DISMAL 0RoAKINGs
that were reported last week from this bu-
reau. There is no love lost between the
Grant and Blaine people. The former
credit the later with their defeat at Chi
cago, and the latter Is not unwilling to ac-
cept the responsibility.
