The New York Grand Jury Instructed
To Look After the Swell Mob Of Finan-
cierS.

Thanks to a vigilant and efficient police
force" Judge Gildersleeve said in New York
Monday in his charge to the grand jury impan-
neled Tor the June term, Ia sober man is in no
danger OF personal injury in any part of the city
at any hour of the day or night, and property of
every kind is reasonably safe from the common
thief and burglar. In short, such offenders as
come underline surveillance of the police are well
in hand and under good subsection. But it Ia
clearly manifest that Offenses against property
of most aggravated and appalling character
are on the increase; that spirit of law lessness
bred of extravaganza or greed CT riches. and
taxing root In the numerous channels of specu-
atlon to be found In our city. has been spread
Ing through the community. This spirit has
developed q class OF criminals from walks In
lie where we might expect to find those who
respect our laws, and have some regard for legal
Obligations and the rights of others. Gentle
men, the growth OF this evil is alarming. Con-
hdence in our corporations and great CONNER
cial houses, so essential in the conduct of busi-
ness. Is Impaired: values are greatly depre-
GATED, and the credit of the nation Is threat
ened. One thief of this class does more harm
than one hundred ordinary thieves or burglars
No felOn can be brought to Justice and to
Judgment without the preliminary action of the
grand jury. Your duty does not end when Won
dispose of the complaints that are placed before
you. If member of the grand jury know, or
have reason to believe, that a crime has been
committed which is triabie in the county, he
must declare the same to his fellow-iurors. who
must therenp0n Investigate the same. Offenses
of public notorety come within your duty and
require action by your body. While, in obedience
to the law, we are Furnishing the low thieves
from the soughs and slums of the city for steal
Ing small sums. let us not neglect the guilty in
high places who steal large sums and arc amena-

doctor said she had had fever. There were
ugly rumors about her and Evans. but as he
stood high they were little needed. The girl

In one of the departments Of the San Francis

was observed that the anemone was in motion,
and for u short spaceit was doubtful whether the
fish or the aneElCne was the eater. Presently
the Intellectual struggles of the fish to release
himself denoted his capture. It seemed that
the flnny maraud"r had pushed his nose against
the inuocent-lOoiing mouth Of the plant in pur-

covered entirely to the gills While closing the

the head was covered to the gills; its resp;ra-

AT this juncture the writer's pity for the fish
prevailed over his curiosity. and he released the
prisoner. In two minutes more it would have

From tie Montreal Star.
The engineer of the Star printing establish
ment soon after starting the steam engine on
Tuesday morning noticed 4 white patch on the
inner surface of the rim OF the driye-wheel.
which he thought was piece of paper caught
by one of the sp0kes in its fight round and
round by the wheel. The white patch was
noticed by several of the hands during the
morning. who accounted for it in the same way.
but no attention had been specially given to the
matter when the engine was stopped shortly
after noon. As the wheel stopped the engineer
was surprised to see the white spot fall to the
ground and then get up and crawl away. He
the white spot which had been whrl-
ing on the tly-wheel was cat which had
been clinging to one of the spOkes of the
wheel, and had only relaxed it's hold when TIL,
wheel had come tO-a standstilf. The cat seemed
daZed for a while. and was taken into the street
for freer air. Here it remained perfectly still
for a considerable time, but On attempt being
made to cover il with paper ran off i'm Zig
gag course, but, apparently, as fully alive as
ever.
The lower portion of the fly-wheel reYolyes In

the eat, which was strange one, being fright
ened at the entry of the engineer, jumped into
the trough to get out of the way, and when the
wheel was started found itself whirling on the
inside OF the tire. The wheel is ten feet in
diameter. and 1t is reyolyed from a. IN. to
1890 d. M, and at q rate OF sixty revolutions
per minute BY simple calculation 1t will be
found that the cat travelled a distance Of more
than one hundred and seventeen miles or about

PAPER PLATES.
An innovation ut Berlin that Is 10 Re-
come General.

The latest application of paper is the adoption
Of plates by some of the great restaurants and
cafes in Berlin. The innovation was first intro
duced during the summer OF last year by the
adventurous landlord of much-frequented
open-air restaurant. Every customer who or
dered bread and butter, rolls. cakes, buns, or
similar articles, had them served to him on a
little paper plate made Of light PAPER Elache
adorned with pretty border in relief and hay
Ing at the first glance great similarity TO por-
ceain. Guests, walters and hosts were all
pleased with the novelty. 1t saved the walters
many deduction from their wages on account
OF breakages, which the very deftest and clever
est can scarcely avoid when ne handles hun
dreds of pieces of crockery during single af-
ternoon and evening. The paper plates were so
cheap that the landlord did not care to assert
his ownership over them, and his customers
were allowed to carry them away like the pretty
serviettPs of thin paper used in so many rcstau-
rants in Holland. There WAS also considerable
saving on the time lost and the CHARGE Of acct

pottery. The success Of tho experiment has
been SO marked that the new species O! plates

Smith Two oranges early Wednesday morning
through the grating, and after he ate one of
them he began complaining OF severe pains in
the stomach. and declared that Annie Smith
had put poison in the oranges Doctors were
summoned, and on Investigation il turned out
10 be a severe case o: cholera morbus That
afternoon Smith sent Tor District Attorney New

OF murder IN the second degree. He confessed
to an interpreter that he had killed Heitz. and
sa;d lie had asked Squire Hoffman, of Mata-
moras. to defend him from injury from the man
that Was taking his hOusekeeper away from him
and as he could get no help from that quarter
he took the law in his own hands. Judge See,ey
refuses TO accept this plea. He then requested
TO be brought To the courthouse where through

IL have just arrived from CUBA" said Senior
Emilio F. Cabada, at his office, 112 Walnut
street, yesterday. land have not heard any
talk about the sale OF the island to the United
States or Mexico. Cuba is considered an inte-
grail part of tie Spanish monarchy and the idea
of selling it has no more reason than proposal
for the United States to sell New jersey or any
other state would have. There is nothing In
common between Cuba and this country and no
cause why Spain should desire to sell one of her
most valuable possessions.
Undoubtedly the island is in very bad wav
financially. Everything appears to have reached
its lowest point and there is much discourage
ment The sugar crop. which is the chief pro-
duct. Is smaller than usual owing to the
drOughts, and competition has brought the
price down very low. 1t Is the same way with
everything else. All business is depressed and
the prospect seems gloomy. 1t is the culmina-
ton OF long period of stagnatOn.
''There is really nothing in the reports about
the growing strength of the insurrectionists.
There is a small band of dozen or SO. whom
the troops have been unable to capture, owing
to the inaccessibility OF the part of the island
where they are. but they amount to nothing.
Cuba is perfectly quiet and there was never less
trouble. No refugees are passing over from
the United States and the insurgents can do
nothing The commercial crisis causes the
greatest anxiety. and in that respect the cou-
ditOn OF Cuba is discouragng."
