SPEAKING of Sergeant Mason, the
Washington correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch says: considerable
adverse criticism has been caused by
the statement of Sergeant Mason, who
is confined in the prison at the arsenal
and on trial before court martial for
shooting at the assassin Guiteau last
September. His story is to the effect
that the cell in which he has been con
fined is tenauted by myriads Of rats,
which annoy him and disturb his rest
at night. On one occasion, while
asleep, he was attacked by a large rat,
but which, after a desperate battle, he
subdued and crushed to death with his
fingers. Mason is considerably incens-
ed because, IS he says, Guiteau, who
perpetrated a much worse crime than
he attempted, is allowed clean, well
ventilated quarters and is not annoyed
by prison pests. He thinks that he
might be allowed the same privileges,
and in this opinion he has many SYM
~pathiZers.
"Guiteau, on the contrary, having
heard of Mason's complaints, became
very indignant, and said that it was no
more than he deserved for attempting
to shoot the preserver Of the Ameri-
can people. He expressed a wish that
Mason should lie severely punished for
his INSTRUMENTATION, and said that if the
United States did not see justice done
him that he would take the matter in his
own hands as soon he is released from
jail. He seems confident that, through
through the Intervention of the best
lawyers in the country, he will be set
free by a decision of the court in banc,
and becomes very violent when any 9TH
er than a favorable result from the bill
perceptions IS suggested"

THE Tildenites have started the story
that the sage of Gramercy Square runs
up and down six flights of stairs in his
four-story house several times a day.
Hence he is 'available," and to make
his availability greater, they intimate
that John Kelly's visit to Florida with
a committee Of his friends is because of
indications of mental trouble. Tilden
cannot climb up on a creeper like that.

subjects now residing in foreign countries.
Large numbers of Chinese live in Cuba,
Peru, and other countries, who cannot re-
turn home without crossing the territory OF
the United States or touching at San Fran

me, is the violation Of international law and

It was recently discovered who had
for years been robbing the money drawer
of Bailey's Hotel, up on the Old York
road, above Rising Sun lane.
While some of the workiugmen were
engaged last week. in tearing mp some
boards on the second floor for the pur-
pose ct running chimney through a
room, they made startling discovery,
and one which will relieve the minds of
many innocent men. Half a dozen rat
nests were found, and the downy couches
of the rodents were formed of green
backs of various denominations, dollars,
fifty, twenty-five aud ten-cent notes.
Most of the currency was chewed up
so as to be worthless. The men gathered
up the pieces and endeavored to PIT the
noies together, and ont OF what vould
fill quart measure only S4.25 was
found that could be used. The search
WAS continued, and resulted In the find
Of more nests with greenback bedding.
The couehes were soft and cosy, and the
thieves had been enjoying themselves at
the expense of the numerous hotel pro-
prietors. The bar-room was located
Immediately below where the money was
found, and the robbers made free use of
the money drawer. The furnishing of
the place was old style, and the house
being an antique one, was almost over
run with rats.
They would get into the back end of
the drawer, seize note and run of with
it to their hiding place in the ceiling be-
tween the first and second floors. When
the barkeeper would 60 to make the
charge the drawer would be empty. and
he of course believed the proprietor had
emptied it, and the landlord had his
suspicious that his servant, the drink
mixer, was quietly becoming wealthy at
his expense. If rats only had the fac
ulty Of enjoying joke how they could
have laughed at the discontinue of the
hotel folks. Isl
The secret was we'll kept and the
thieving must have been carried on for
long term of years. The character of
the currency found shows this. The
ten, twenty-five and fifty cent notes
prove that the period of peculation has
extended back to war times. Alto
gether it was estimated that in the. two
large piles found there was over 81 900.
The hotel is of historic interest and
is well known as the headquarters of the
Philadelphia Agricultural Association,
en- organization of half century ago.
