THE HAT WITH THE CORONET.
A Queer Street Scene in London On the Evan.
Ing ofthe Princess Beatrice's Wedding,

It was getting near the witching hour,
says London letter writer, and Leices-
ter square, Haymarket, and Tichborne
street were crowded with carriages and
cabs carrying home from the theatres
quite as many people as would balance
the population of an influential constit-
uency.
As l stood in Great Windmill street a
white-cravated tippler, looking like O.
second magistrate after desperate
chase, was flung out of saloon BY nero
human pressure acting as disciplined
spring. He whisked past me and fell
right in the middle of a heap of rubbish
close to building in process of erec-
ton.
"Capital shotl" exclaimed a sporting
character, abiding to the manner in
which the singular missile had made a
centre in the heap and hole in itself.
The tippler's head was bleeding pro-
fusely when picked up, but had not re-
gained its sober senses.
"Don't want claret," said he, as he
staggered up, wiping the blood from his
face. II ordered whisky, you fool"
Then he suddenly got into furious
rage, and, though alone by his heap, be-
gan to hit furiously right and left in the
space, as if engaged in a life and death
meeting. Now and then he would stop,
and begin to speak and gesticulate like
a man possessed of good arguments.
The blood running from his wound had
Redeemed his shirt and white tie. I had
never seen anything so CHASTITY. The
man was apparently not conscious at all
of the presence of the increasing crowd,
attracted by his antics. He was explain
ing that he had just come from the mar
rage of the Princess Beatrice, at which
he had assisted at the special request of
the Queen, who, he was prepared to say,
ought to be proud to be compared to a
washerwoman, and his rage overtaking
him again, he stretched out his two
arms at full length and began to shake
them as if they had got hold of an ad-
versary's head. After awhile he released
his invisible foe, but gave tremendous
kick in the same direction, as if to finish
the job. Then he chilled the mob to
their very bones by uttering an mex
pressible cry of anguish and jumping all
the time as if flood or an army of rats
or dogs were after him. He needs have
been an uncommon gymnast at some
time or other of his life, for his bounces
would have deserved applause in cir
Gus.
A policeman at last appeared and adj
vised him to go home. For an instant
he vaguely listened to him as if emerg-
ing from dream. Then he rushed into
his arms, as long-separated Frenchmen
do on meeting again, and it required
second constable to unlock him from
the first. AS he was perfectly incapable,
they both took him to the police station,
where he submitted to hydropathic treat
ment.
In his hat, which we picked up after
ward. was o coronet.

GIRL TYPE Settlers.
Not as Accurate, but as Nimble.Finsered
and More Trustworthy than Men.

At the tall type cases that were ranged
on the top floor of William street law
and newspaper printing Office, side by
side with the male compositors, who
were busy at work with sleeves rolled
up, a score of young women stood swiftly
sticking type in FURNISHED composing
sticks. They worked with great dex-
terity, and a bystander who looked on
critically could not have detected that
the men excelled them any in the swift
ness with which they picked the type
from the case and dropped them in place
in the sticks. Their ages ranged from
18 to % years, and they were all plainly
but neatly dressed. They kept their
eyes on the copy before them, and at
tended strictly to business all day long.
"They are all first-class compositors,'
the proprietor of the place said, "and
some of them earn more than the men,
because they stick closer to their work. :"
The proprietor was a veteran printer
himself, and said he had taught lots and
lots of girls to stick type in his Office
during the last ten years. ''There must
be somewhere in the neighborhood of
500 girl compositors in the town now,"
he added, land most of them make a
good living at it. Harper Brothers and
other big firms employ squads of them in
their composing rooms on certain grades
of work.
"How does their work compare with
the men's?"
every favorably. A little more care has
to be expended in reviewing the proofs,
than in the case of the men, but in other re-
spects the women's work is just about the
same. The need of watching the proofs
more closely, though, makes difference
in rates of compensation, but as rule the
difference is not more than two or three
cents per thousand ems less than the rate
paid to the men. You know, male print
ers are like sailors in their rowing dis
positions, and they like to go off and
have good time sometimes and they
have the good time irrespective of the
demands of business They change
about from Office to office great deal,
too, and for this reason boss printers very
often prefer to employ girls, especially
when the job on hand is something to be
done with a rush within a stipulated
time. You can depend on the girls every
time to come to work promptly and regu-
larly every day."
SIS there any jealousy among the men
on account of the employment of the
Women?"
''Not the least. I never heard a COM
position utter word of complaint against
the competition of women. "-NeaU York

A COUPLE OF DUDES.
Saratoga's First Circles as Joe Howard

Saratoga is great place for style, but

Young Girls and Skating Kinks.
A man writes to New York paper as

A man writes to New York paper as
follows:
Chief of Police John Y. McKane of
Coney Island said to me while speak
ing of the number of girls between the
ages of IA and 16 who have been arrested
on the Island by his officers for
disorderly conduct and other
offenses: 1t is fact, that my
private book will substantiate that nine
out of every ten of these girls upon
private questioning by me, date their
fall from the time they commenced to
frequent skating Kinks.
This is no exaggeration. I used to
think, when 1 read of clergymen and
others denouncing the Kinks for the i'm
morality that was bred there, that the
Kinks were harmless, and that those
gentlemen were inclined to sensational
lism. Now from the stories told me by
these young girls, right here in my
private office, | can appreciate the
truth of their remarks and realize the
danger that surrounds the young female
in such resorts. 1 esteem this fact of
such importance that / think it ought
to be known.

HE HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Cause of the AcquittaI of the NIur.
derer of the King of the BuncO Men.

On the eve of election in 1881 William
Tracey shot and killed Charles P. Miller
in Dick Darling's saloon at 1, 217 Broad
way, New York. Miller was known as
the liking of the Bunco Men, and a
feud had long existed between him and
Tracey. The acquittal of Tracey created
considerable discussion as to the merits
of trial by jury, especially as it occurred
in the time of similar experiences in
New York and in Cincinnati. How the
jury came to acqu.t Tracey in face of
the most positive proof not only to the
public, the District Attorneys Office,
.4aa-tlte- jury bsFo-to the defendants
lawyers themselves, is interesting.
The prosecution had all their evidence
in, but the testimony of Police Captain
Williams, who was called to show
Miller's pistol, a six-shooter. The de-
PENDANTS council up to this had at
tempted to prove self-defense, but to-
ward the end of the trial they had
almost given up hope, when Captain
Williams swore the pistol was in the
same condition as it was when taken
from the dead man: The weapon was
examined, and found to contain six
loaded cartridges, and it was argued
from this that Miller had made no at
tempt to shoot Tracey, and that the wit
nesses for the defense, who testified that
Miller had drawn and snapped his pistol
at Tracey, had committed perjury.
The jury had examined the pistol and
were satisfied about the six loaded car
tridges; all but the twelfth man. He
was very young, and this was the first
time he had sat on a jury. His atten-
ton was attracted by the peculiar ap-
pearance of the pistol and cartridges.
He did not know what to do, SO he said
nothing. When he went home that
night he wanted to speak to his father
about it, but was told it was contempt
of court to have any conversation about
the case, SO he had to rely on himself.
He was partner with his father in the
pert. Therefore, the more he thought
of the pistol the more he came to the
conclusion that he was right.
The next day the jury were charged
and sent to their room. A ballot was
taken, and eleven votes were cast for
conviction, with one, by the twelfth
juror, for acquittal. This surprised his
associates, and they asked for reason.
He requested that the pistol be pro-
duced. 1t was and he pointed out that
it was rim-fre pistol, and that all the
chambers were loaded with central fire
cartridges. On the edge of three of the
cartridges was an indentation where the
rim fire hammer had been snapped on
them, showing that Miller had mis-
takenly loaded the pistol with the
wrong cartridges, and that he had made
three attempts to discharge it. AS he
was instantly killed he must have
snapped the pistol three times at Tracey
before Tracey shot him. As no ex-
plosion followed no one had noticed the
marks on the cartridges.
This discovery and the sworn ev-
idence that Miller had snapped his pistol
at Tracey, was so conclusive to the jury
that on the second ballot the entire
twelve voted for acquittal.
