ROBBED OF $40.
Neat Piece of Detective Work and the THE,
Lodged In Jail

N ENe"t ieSc VI DetectlNe WORK ana the ThieI
Lodged In Jail.
About noon ON Monday the desk of John
A. Shober, at his paper and rag warehouse,
corner of Market and Grant streets, was
robbed OF about $40. The money taken was
in pennies and small silver coin. The rob-
berry was reported to Chief Smith. He learned
the names OF the parties who were seen lott
ering in the vicinity, and Officer Pyle was de-
tailed by the chief to watch the suspected
parties. The result was the arrest OF Philip
Bonce, as he was purchasing a pair of shoes
at Frey d Eckerts store. Bonce was taken
to the station house and searched, and S29Ol
was found on his person. Frey 4 Eckerl re-
funded the 81 so he paid for the shoes max
Ing total of s30.5l recovered. The money
found on Bonce was identified by Mr.. Aflls-
bach as that stolen from Mr.. Shober's
desk. Bonce admits the theft, and that ne
spent the balance OF the money taken. Com
plant was made before Alderman McConomy
against Bonce for felonious entry and lar
ceny, and in default of bail he was commit
Ted TO the county prison. Bonce was i'm the
habit OF buying rags for MI. Shober and was
familiar with the premises The supposition
Is that he secreted himself in the Warehouse
and when the employees went to dinner he
committed the theft by opening the desk
with false key.

Safest town in New England is this

AT the southern end of this p,.ssa geway
there is "a tre-escape with egress through a

"At the north end OF this passage there il
an egress through a window and down over
the roof in the rear.
There will be red lights burning through
the night at the main stairway. After go-
ing down one fight, turn to the left and
keep to the left. (The next stairway is un-

otherwise turn to the right through the

A RARE DOG.
How He Ran Up Tree After the "Boss a
All the Coons.'


Philadelphia Call
IL is very rare that raccoon falls VIC
tim to the hunter after cold weather has
set in, for it Is q alternating animal, aud
slows itself away at the approach Of win.
ter. The average weight of g coon IL
twenty pounds, and the hunter who cap
lures one in the height OF the most favor-
able coon-feeding season which weighs
more 10 looked upon as having accom-
plished notable feat. James Sandys, of
Hunters Range, during the fall killed
thirty-n coons, and recently surprised
the community by fetching In the .'i.oss OF
all coons," mammoth fellow that weighed
thirty-fve pounds, the largest by eighs
pounds ever captured In this vicinity.
Sandys hunts with an unusually active
and intelligent dog. On Saturday he was
out after phenssnts. when tho coon sprang
out OF stone wall and gave the dog
as lively chase, with the thernomcter
at zero, as any coon ever did In
September. After . run OF mile the coon
ran up large tree, the trunk of which
leaned at an angle OF about forty five de-
grees. When Sandys reached the spot he
found that the dog bad not only trsed the
coon, but had also treed himself, for he
had run up the leaning trunk Of the tree
aud reached the very top. whore the COON
had crept out on the extremity OF . branch
beyond the reach OF th- dog. Saniys
brought the coon TO the ground with .
charge from his gun. bus nad greater diff
heuity in recovering mis- doa. The animal
ropidn't descend the tree trunk, and ths
hunter had to ''shiu" up and bring him
down. The dog was sixty feet in the air,
aud the lowest branch OF the tree was
twenty feet from the groaEd. When SAM
dys got down TO that branch, with ths
DOS neck gra~ped in one nand, he found
that he couiiIn dos mi any farther with
out using t'oth VA l. But the dog settled
the matter ~ >4.d, .ning loose and drop
pins TO the ground on his feet

why, isn't that one on the porch all
right1" asked Mrs. snaggs.
''Yes, but wen keep this in the sitting

. At breakfast the next morning Mrs.
Snaggs said.
II don't believe that new thermometer

Because It is up to sixty-6vc, and that

verses so as to shoot straight back at the
speaker.
What I want" said pompous orator,
aiming at his antagonist, ''is good COM
mon sense"
Exactly" was the whispered reply,
'that's just what you need"
An instance of unkind repartee is re-
corded of Charles Lamb:
One day a loving. mother brought her
beautiful golden-haired baby into dinner in
her arms. She was very proud of her sweet
babe, and, holding it up with pride and JOY
i'll her eyes, she said:
"Mr. Lamb, how do you like babies?"
81 like EN- boiled, madam--boiled!"
OF course that mother never loved Mr.
Lamb after that.
The finest piece OF repartee in the En-
glish language is the instance where two
,Irishmen were walking under the gibbet OF
Nswgate. Looking up at the gibbet, one
of them remarked:
@Ah; Pat where would you be il the
gibbet had done it's duty?"
Faith, Flanagan" said Pat, "and I'd
be walking London-aH aione!"-From Eli
Perkins Lecture before Princeton College.

How He Vlctimises Sympathetic Street
Railway Passengers.
IN Y. Tribune.l
Tho Broadway street raih Dad is afflicted
with beggar whose ways are at least i'm
genious. He is accustomed to stop a car
on IA down town trip in the evening when
the passengers are not so busy but that
they can look around upon their nei ghbors.
He then appears ins de, n picture of cold
and ragged misery. Hi one leg is assisted
by broken down pair of crutches, and
his unkempt beard completes wretched
appearance. Not a word does he speak,
but sits with most dejscted air, his head
bent upon his Shoulders, until the conduc-
tor Interrupts his addened thou Shts by q
demand for his fare. After long and anx-
ious struggles in ragged pockets he fishes
out four pennies, but seeks in vain for the
fifth. A gulp or two Of suppressed emo.
tion. then tear that will escape, and he
gives n piteous look at his neighbor
as he holds out the four coppers in
