Thief Caught.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
James II. Corbin was sitting in the read
ing-room in the rear of his saloon when he
heard some one enter the front door, but,
not seeing the person, concluded that he
had gone to the lunch stand. A minute
later, however, he heard the alarm on the
money drawer ring, and of course fastened
into the saloon, where he found a man
coming from behind the bar As there
was deposit of $50, made by friend i'll
the till, in addition to the days receipts, he
caught the man and backed him up to the
drawer until he could examine it, when he
found that the thief had failed to open it,
though the pull he gave had broken the
spring of the alarm. Corbn asked a citizen
who was present to 90 for an officer, and
made his prisoner sit down in the reading
room to wait until one came. Mean
while a customer called for drink,
and while he was being waited upon the

was big fun on hand, free for all and

Corbin-who besides being little over
weight for a sprinter, is also lame-rolling
along through the yard, his museum of
curiosities cavorting about him, and the
thief making for the fence well in advance
of ali. The fugitive got his last foot over
the fence just as Corbin got ,near enough
to count the pegs in his boot, and when
the irate saloon man mounted the fence
and yelled, the rascal dashed through the
alley and into Second street like quarter
horse. Officer Wager arrived soon after
wards, in response to the message sent,
and received such good description of the
thief that early in the evening officers
Rider, Kent and Farrell captured him. He
gave his name as A. p Johnson, recent
arrival from Iowa, but valise which he
had at hotel bore the name of 2. ].

sent their famous laughing success,
" Skipped by the Light of the Moon" at
the Metropolitan Theater tonight, and il
is safe to say they will make laughter re-

building. The San Francisco Post says
" The strangest, quaintest, oldest, queerest,
funniest. most ludicrous characters, scenes,
situations, sayings and doings that the hui
man mind ever conceived are embodied in
this play. Humor of the most unctuous,
rollicking, jovial, side-splitting character
that the most fertile imagination can pict-
ure Is its distinguishing feature. Such
laughter as it evokes has never before been
heard within the walls of any theater in
this city Tomorrow night they present
the latest thing in laughs, Out of the

The Craze over the COIOred shirt.

Of excitement over the colored shirt
among the men of New York just now.
The fashion of wearing shirt bosoms and
cuffs in fanciful colors, with horizontal
or virticil stripes, hasapparently come
to stay. There is snuous and
subtle fascination about a colored
shirt that the average man is
powerless to resist. With q col
lar Of the slme material variegated
shirt certainly imparts what might be
called sporting air to the wearer. 1t
occurred to some original thinker, with
a fonlness for bright colors, to achieve
a combination by a white collar and a
colored shiri, and the fashion took in
England like wild fire. 1t has often
been said that the Prince of Wales is re.
sponsible for this innovation, though l
do not know that any one ever called
him an original thinker before. But
while one-half of mankind has seized
upon this combination with species of
deathless admiration, the other half has
formed itself into a turgid and bitter op.
ponent. So the men who walk boldly
about the streets of New York with
shirts of brilliant hue and plain white
collars are alternately ridiculed and
envied. They go on ther way undaunt.

BILLY MUST BUTT.
A New York hoy Gives a Goat a
Hard Lesson.

Down in Cherry street yesterday af.
ternoon youngster was trying to teach
billygoat the art of buttlng. The goat
was full grown and able-bodied, but the
talent which is characteristic of him and
h kind had been dormant in him for so
long a period that the task of awaken
ing and developing it seemed hopeless.
The boy b gan by making faces at the
goat, which was quietly browsing on a
pile of hawser. The goat took no notice
of him. Then the boy tickled the goats
chin whiskers with piece of barrel
hoop, and followed this up by grabbing
him by the horns and forcing
him backwards. The goat twisted
his head away, but betrayed
not the faintest INCLINATION to retallate
by butting. This didn't discourage the
persevering youngster. He stood off a
few feet and jabbed the goat between
the eyes with the piece of barrel hoop,
then ran half dozen steps and halted
in most provoking attitude. The
goat eyed him regrettully, but showed
no more disposition to butt than before.
After continuing these and similar tao
tics for half or three.quarters of an
hour, the youngster seemed to weary
of his task, turned languidly on his
heel and stood in undecided contem.
plation of tabby cat that was sun
ming herself on top of an old boiler.
The goat was behind the boy. He
turned his head to one side and re.
garded the youpgster obliquely. Then
he stirred up the dust with his off
front foot. The boy continued his
study of the cat. He did not see the goat
lower his head, curb his chin, draw all
his feet together, hump his back, and
quiver with the tension that was on him.
The cat rolled over on her back, put
one paw across her nose and fell asleep.
The boy grinned. There was a flash of
grayish material, and. like a thunder
bolt from a cloudless sky, the goat
smote the boy. Sailing airly over the
pole of truck, the youngster carromed
on front wheel, lighted on barrel,
rolled into the gutter, and came to q
stop on the shady side of the boiler that
had been given over to desuetude.
By the time the boy had recovered his
self possession and rearranged the points
of the compass in his mind, the goat

Experienced wood workers have al.
ways contended that glue joint, pro.
perly done, is stronger than the wood
itself. And yet joints often give way at
the surface where the glue is used,
which is accounted for by bad material.
A similar reason is frequently the true
cause, which few artisans wish to ack-
nowledge. 1t is merely that skill is
lacking In gluing wood, it is asserted
by competent authority, bad work is
