room and anxiously inquired from his

hurt. The empress replied that she had
not suffered, but took the arm of her
husband and went for a time to retir-

chagrin of the unhappy officer was visi
BILE to all the guests. By aud by the
empress returned, and seeing the dis

insisted on his dancing another waltz

A Queer Sort of a Joke to PLAY.

Washington Cores. of the Boston Traveller
The cash office Of the treasurer's de-
partment in the treasury building often
contains many hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and great care is taken against
the possible depredations of thieves.
The room is very high studded and COLI
tains gallery which can be reached by
the general public from the floor above.
The interest clerk is an auburn-h haired
Individual of the most nervous tempera-
ment, and Notwithstanding the fact that
he has been III his position for many
years he has never lost sight of the
tremendous responsibility of handling
the vast sums of money which daily pass
into his possession. His nervousness
has grown chronic, and he is made the
but of many quiet practical joke. The
greatest of these was played some time
ago by one of his intimate personal
friends who obtained permission from
Treasurer Gilfllan to try his little
scheme. The gentleman armed himself
with about 25 feet of Irvine, and attached
the one of it to machine composed of
steel prod pointed as fine as a needle,
and solid piece of rubber as a ballast.
He stationed himself In the gallery di-
rectly over the interest clerks desk,
where there were heaps of money all
nicely done up in packages. Then he
slowly let down his string until it was
directly above large package, and re-
leasing his hold on the Irvine, the steel
prod impaled bundle of notes, which
he quickly drew to the gallery, and hav-
ing secured them, rushed to the treasur-
er's Office with his prize. which proved
to be $4,000 in legal tender. Meanwhile
the interest clerk saw his money going
skyward and gave the alarm, but not in
time, however, to detect the culprit The
clerk was nearly crazed when he re-
ceived note signed 'James Gilfillan, :"
asking him come at once to the treasur-
er's Office. He went as fast as his legs
could carry him, and imagine his Joy
| when the treasurer handed him the mis-
sing Sc, 900, advising him to be more
careful that his money did not take
unto itself wings and fly away y in the
future. This practical joke has taught
the department a good lesson, to wit,
that it was possible for clever thief to
| abstract money in the method men
toned, and SO double precautions have
been taken, and under the existing state
of affairs such an event is not at all like
| ly to happen again.
