Result of a Practical Joke.

A paragraph in the Cleveland paper

hoax practised by three women MOI n
friend. 1t seemed harmless to them.
1t proved almost fatal to the friend
and illustrates a fact that should NOT
be forgotten that frights may kill. or
may craze the brain permanently.
Such Jokes are criminal, and deserve n
serious penalty. The victim of this
hoax-Mrs. Burns-had gone away for
a short time, leaving her husband and
little ones at home.
The husband went to work and tbe
three women thought it would be ex.
tremely funny to scare Mrs. Burns.
The chairs and tables we're upset. and
everything was put "topsy-turvey." A
figure was made and clothed in a suit

RIOTS.

The Cincinnati riot taught other
large cities lesson which has not
been disregarded by one at least. In
New York, the commander OF the
first division of the National Guard,
upon whom the heaviest responsible
ity would rest in the event of q riot
Gus outbreak in that city, is taking
all precautions to prevent surprise
by a mob. A permanent supply of
ammunition has been provided for
the armories, and lanterns are in
readiness for use in case of the de-
struction of the gas works, while axes
and other implements have been Sc
cured for cutting away barricades.
In addition to this plans are being
ma tured for the protection of gas and
water works, to prevent interruption
of telegraphic and telephone COM
munications: to provide each regl-
ment OF the National Guard good
armory and for drills specially di-
rected toward the suppression of riots.
These are new features in municipal
government but the tendency of peo-
pie in large cities to take, at times,
the law into their own hands seems
to render these precautionary meas
ureS necessary.
