GOOD HEART, BUT BAD MEMORY.

Senator Camden, of West Virginia,
is probably the most abaent-minded
man in the chamber. Not that he
does not speak with energy and clear
ness on any great public question,
but he rather prides himself on his
concentration Of mind. 1t used to be
said of Bishop Thompson, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, that he
frequently forgot his own name, but
Senator Camden tells one on himself,
and it therefore must be true, that
rivals the best of its kind.
He had gone home to Parkerburg
to attend the marriage of his daugh-
ter to Lieut.. Spellman, whom he
greatly admired and esteemed. and
was standing On street corner con.
versing Nth a political friend. A
young man came up and asked
"What luck did you have as fisher.

TIMID WOMEN.

Let the timid women who are in.
clined to jump from carriage every
time the horse picks up his ears read
this story OF a Westfeld, Mass, girl.
She was driving spirited horse,
when the headstall broke and the
bit came out OF his mouth. Of course
he ran. The girl, perfectly powerless
to restain him, sat upright in her
seat, while the frightened animal ran
wildly through the streets. She
never said a word, even when dar-
ing~man caught on behind and climb
ed into the buggy, only to find him
self quite as powerless as the girl.
But his added weight helped, for af
ter half mile run the horse was
tired enough to admit of his being
caught, and the girl jumped out of
the buggy, not much frightened, and
not bit hurt.

John =. Smith Of New britain,
Conn, had more apples than he
knew what to do with last fall, so he
stored 400 barrels in a neighbor's
large ice house. In the winter the
house was filled with ice, all around
the apples, which were solidly frozen.
To Mr.. Smiths great surprise the
fruit, few days ago, was found to
be in perfect condition. He shipped
twenty-five barrels to market and
they sold readily at So barrel.
More were called for, and now the
whole 400 barrels of hard, fresh,
sound Baldwins have been sold at that
price, right in the middle Of June.

Was then applied over the brand and

RESTITUTION-A FACT.

years ago young lawyer and mel
chant, who both followed the trotter
considerably, entered into littl
combination with one horseman, an
set up neat little Job. They fxe,
a race, including the driver of til
only horse which could win to a Ger
talnty if his head was loose. Tn
owner Of the latter was a sanguine an,
plucky better, and as the combina
ton put an unlimited order in tn,
box he was MIXED dry before tn,
race was over. The job went through
all right and the confederates divided
their lll-gotten gains. Years rolleC
ON, the lawyer rose to eminence i,
his profession, became very wealth,
and held a high position in society
The young merchant became a capi
talist and the president of the lead
ing bank in his native town. The
horseman who had joined them in the
JOB was still in the business, though
reputed well to do. Recently, on
looking over the advertising column.
At paper he noticed that the home
stead OF the man he had wronged
years before was advertised to be sold
under mortgage. The old transac.
ton Of years ago flashed through his
memory, and rolling his quid oycl
very thoughtfully, he started down
town.
A few careful inquiries elected the
fact, that not only would the house
have to be sold to satisfy the mort
gage, but the owner had been very
unfortunate Of late years, and from
comparative wealth, had become poor.
Our hOrseman visited the banker,
and fortunately found the lawyer
with him, and briefly told the story,
which he clinched by SAYING
Snow, gentlemen, the money we
stole from this man with the interest
on it will pay the mortgage, and pre-
vent him being turned out of his
home, my third is ready now, and
want to know what you purpose to
do 2"
''The lawyer and the banker laugh
ed at the idea, they would do nothing
of the kind, the proceeding was alb
Surd, etc, etc,

publish all the particulars to-day, it
can't hurt me, | am only ahorseman,
you know, people expect me to set
up q JOB once in while, that won t
hurt me, and giving up my third will
square myself all round, but where
will you be, you can't afford it.
Good day"
The shot told, the Two eminently
respectable members Of the upper
crust OF society looked at each other
in blank dismay for minute. The
banker Was the first to speak. :'Say,
call that fellow back, | just believe
he is mean enough to do it; every
church in town deposits with this
bank, and, come tn think Of it, you
cannot afford an expose as legal al
wiser to the Bishop" A fleet footed
boy soon overlook our horseman, the
full amount of the interest was care-
fully calculated, and check for the
total made out, each man chipping in
his third, and that afternoon there
was one man in the town supremely
happy, the mortgage was paid on and
tuck came back again. Fortune smil-
ed on both the man who made the
first move to redress wrong, and
the man who received the benefit,
aud the both attribute it to that little
timely ACT Of restitution. THE

emf. When Judge Lochren took his seat,
order was raped for and the twelve men,
looking weary and. unkempt, made their
appearance. They all responded promptly
to their names and sat bolt upright as the
clerk read the verdict, which found Gran
vile L. Spaulding guilty of manslaughter
il the second degree and recommended him
to the clemencv of the court. Neither the
prisoner nor his sister moved muscle as
the words which will send Spaulding to
felon's cell for from four to seven years
were said Mr.. Eaton was on his feet in
moment and moved that sentence be passed
upon the prisoner at once. Mr.. Woolley
objected and asked thai it be deferred until
next Saturday. as he might move for new
trial in the meantime. The judge granted
Mr.. Woolley's request and will sentence
him next week. Meantime it is highly
probable that new trial will be asked for.
Spaulding was remanded to jail.
At noon yesterday the jury presented
communication to Judge Lochren saying
that they could not agree and asking to be
discharged The judge would not hear to
it, however and advised them to take all
the time they wanted. as the county had
been to great expense i'll this case, and he
thought verdict of some kind should be
brought in.

HE DIED FOR LOVE.
Melancholy Suicide of Martin Moe.
Whose Sweetheart Was False.

Melancholy Suicide Of Martin Moe,
Whose Sweetheart Was False.
Martin G. Moe, q Swedish tailor doing
business at 800 Second avenue south, blew
out his brains with revolver yesterday
afternoon. In the morning he had gone to
bed with an attack of rheumatism, and
his sewing force supposed him still there.
About 1 o'clock in the afternoon shot
rang out, accompanied by a shrek, which
paralyzed the force. When one of them
finally ventured upstairs they found the
tailor lying on the bed in the agones of
death, his right hand grasping revolver
and the blood and brains oozing from
bullet hole in his right temple. In few
moments death ensued. James Swanson,
the man who found him. ran down in a
fright and in few moments Coroner Hill
was summoned. He listened to the accounts
and viewed the room, deciding an inquest
was unnecessary.
The melancholy suicide was man of
about % years of age, who had been in
this country five years, coming here from
Marshalltown, Ia, three years ago. 1t is
supposed he took his life in fit of de-
spondency, induced by unrequited love-
When he left his native land he left behind
him a sweetheart, who agreed to follow
and ioin him when he should have estab-
Iished himself. Affectionate correspond
ence ensued and was continued for some

though not in antagonism with the so-caled
(master Plumbers association, yet claim to
run my business my own way and not at the

SUBURBAN HOMES. a.
Two Extensive Projects for Build-
ing Homes at the Lakes.

Negotiations that have been in progress
since last Februry for the purchase of 100
acres of the wooded tract of land lying be-
tween the Lake of the Isles and Cedar
Lake have been consumated. The price
paid is $4,000 and the purchasers are
Baker, Potter & Co. and I. c. Seely & Co.,
who propose to plat the tract in park
style into lots 50X150 feet in size. Frank
lin avenue runs through the center from
east to west, the Minneapolis & st. Louis
runs across the tract along the shore. of
Cedar lake and the southerly line is Twenty
fourth street, SO that the property will be
readily accessible and especially desirable
for residences. 1t is proposed in
addition to tap the boulevard which is to be
made, by the city, around the Lake of the
Isles at Twentyfourth street. so as to fur
nish an outlet to Hennepin avenue by the
way of Lowry's hill. A depot will be
furnished at ''Kerwood," as the place is to
be called. at which all local trains will stop.
A project is also on foot for the establish
ment of another suburban residence park
on the plateau which overlooks the land
scape east of Lake Harriet. The new mo-
tor extension which runs straight through
from the Thirty-first street junction to the
lower shore of Lake Harriet, will furnish
rapid transit to and from the city.
