ST. Louis, Dec. g. The amount of bail in the
case ofthe Adams express messenger. Fother-
ingham, was fixed in the Criminal Court to day.
Elk Governor johnson, attorney for the messen-
ger, stated that he would make application that
the bail of his client be fixed at S. 900, as the
evidence against him was so meager and from
such untrustworthy sources Judge Normille
stated that he had no means of knowing the nat
ure OF the evidence except by referring to the
minutes of the grand jury. This he would re-
fuse to do, and as the amount stolen was 800 900
he thought 500, 900 bail would not be excessive
He therefore, fixed the bail at that amount
The messenger could not furnish the amount,
and was remanded to jail.

She has the neck of giraffe, we are told;
but whena fat, chubby chinned woman, with
no neck at all, pinches and cranes herself
into such a collar, it is distressing, and we
implore madIy for punishment to fit her
crime.

powder. lie consoled himself with the
thought that there must be tooth pow

search he discovered something in q
small box on the man ell which certainly
rcscmbled tooth powder. AT any rate,
he used it vigorously on his teeth, and
found it satisfactory. When he got down

using her tooth powder. She appeared
surprised. "What tooth powder9' she
