SWEETS FOR THE SWEET.

Women are the funniest when they
say nothing; but women are SO seldom
funny.
A woman who has four sons, all sail
ors, compares herself with year, be-
cause she has four seasons.
Susan says she enjoys seeing the
girls go in bathing. She loves to see
them spit the sand out of their mouths.

India long shawls are now made into

the talk about the extravaganza of wo-
men who cut them up for wrappers.
A shrewd confectioner at the West
End has taught his parrot to say 'pret-

his shop. and his business is rapidly in-
creasing.
Waiting maid Good-morning, doc

come to her husband as quickly as pos

It is said that great many ladies who
are ethusiastic homeopathists think
that their favorite school of medicine is
called homeopathy because they can
practice it at home.
If you watch q woman's mouth close

dies wear a scarlet bow on the left
shoulder. In some parts of America
they wear green beau on the left and
right shoulder, alternately.
The reason why coachmen are so
popular with the ladies need not be
sought very far. Barnum's baby show
of twenty years ago awarded the first
premium to a coachman's baby.
A Boston woman cut her dress from

GENERAL NEWS NOTES
Mrs. Lanxtry's Divorce.

Philadelphia Times; Gossips over in
New York say that Mrs. Langtry will re.
ceive the divorce she has been expecting
some time during her present tour OF the
states. The rumor that she is to make
her future home in this country is also re-
vived, and additional investments in
New York real estate, quietly but
surely made, give credence to the
story. Mrs. Langtry is not expected TO
make any objection, or none, at least.
that cannot be removed by arguments OF
u substantial kind. Some add that Mr..
Gebhart really has the coldly calm beauty's
affections. and that she viii vet wed him
and retire from the stage. But this. too,
lacks unquestioned authority. With tai
emit that never was remarkable and beauty
that must fade in time, it is not strange
that the lady should look to the future
with something like calculating look in
her cold gray eyes.

DISCOVERED AT LAST.
Arrest In Chicago Of ''BObby" Adams, the Man
Who Plundered the Minneapolis P0stOfice.

Arrest In Chicago Of ssBobby'' Adams, the Man
Who Plundered the Minneapolis Postofice.
A Chicago Dispatch OF the 18th says:
The Minneapolis postofIice robbery has
at last been thoroughly cleared up. The
prime mover, principal character, planner
and executor of the robbery is in the tolls,
having been arrested by Detective Marks
and Granger on West Washington street.
His name is Bobby" Adams. Although
a young man, he is known all over the
United States and England as one OF the
most adroit burglars and safe blowers with
whom the officials had to dealin ten years.
Adams is as well known in New York as
Chicago. He it was who frs t conceived the
plot to rob the Minneapolis postofiice. Be-
fore doing this, however, he is said to have
come to Chicago and arranged with L. j..
Finnucane to handle and negotiate the
stamps after the robbery. David Shanna-
han, in the South town assessors office,
and a Mr.. Noyes were also said to be im-
plicated in the scheme, At my rate. after
the discovery of the steal and the recovery
OF the stamps they were arrested. but subse-
quently released on their own recognizance.
Finnucane is still in Jail. These three men

at Allegheny City. He escaped for time,
but was afterwards caught and given four
years in the Pennsylvania penitentiary:
After getting out he did some clever work
in New York city and came to. Chi
cago, where he lived luxuriously for five
months. He then turned several
''tricks" here, and was arrested. The
case was hard one to prove, and he got
off light. He then went East and to Eng
land, returning comfortably fixed as to
wealth. His fast life. however, soon squan-
dered his stealings, and again he took to
the field. Nothing was then heard Of him
until the $14, 900 stamp robbery in Mime
apolis. and now that his '.paP has
s'peached" on him, he will probably own
mp to the whole affair. He is said by the
detectives to have the finest set OF bur-
glars tools ever manufactured. Adams
was taken before Commissioners Hoyne
and held in So, 900 bail.

All True.

The statement in the last Issue Of the
TIMES that Mr.. John G. Young, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Assessor, sanctioned the
allowance OF bill for Sutro, which was con-
trary to law, is all true, notwithstanding
the denial that is being made by certain par
ties. Mr.. L. Lamb, Of Sutro, who was
School Trustee at the time, is our authority
for the statement, and his word is as good
as gold. This gentleman sent q written
protest to Mr.. Young before the bill was
audited, and received an answer, which
shows that Mr.. Young was we'll aware OF
the protest made by Mr.. Lamb before he
acted. At the time the matter would prob.
ably have come before the Grand Jury had
it not been for the sudden illness Of the
young lady who was teaching. Mr.. Lamb
stands ready to vouch for the truth tt this
statement, so it is not made by US for idle
