The Electric Light.

A tall young fellow with CULVER OF
heavy leather slung carelessly over
his shoulder was creeping up pole in
Broadway at o'clock a few morn
ings ago. The nails in his boot heels
clicked against the projecting spikes
as he made his way step by step to-
ward the top. When he had thrown
one leg over the iron cross-pieces and
caught his foot on the upper bar the
electric light at the top went out with
a whizzing protest. A brief interval OF
darkness followed and a glowing
point OF burned-out carbon fell hiss.
ing into pool of water in the gutter.
Then the silver light burst forth again
with increased briliancy and the
young man sought the street. He
stopped moment to count the new
points in his culver, and the reporter
asked him how he liked the business.
"Good enough; but it's lonesome.
All the same I've picked up little
electricity in these eleven months I've
been climbing poles nights. You see."
he went on, "every man can't climb,
and lots of 'em who can wouldn't
fuss around electric lights for $50,
much less $12, a week. So the regu-
lar men who have worked with the
company any length of time, and
kept solid with the boss, have moth
ing to do but to do their work and
draw their money Saturdays and no
fear of being bounced.
"But here's what I hate" ard the
young fellow held out his hand to
show red scar across three fingers.
"That's a burn, that is, and if I've
had one I'll bet I've had a million on
these fingers. Some way or other a
fellow always gets his hands Oh the
hot end of the points when he's taking
'em out. My 'fippers' have got SO
tough now, though, that l wouldn't
be afraid to put up money that l
could hold that cigar of yours half a
minute without squealing. That chap
that picks up the red-hot bar OF iron
up at the museum in the Bowery used
to work for the company. I'll take
my oath he did"
"Did you ever get shock?" asked
the reporter.
"Once, and that's all. I'll tell you
how 1 came to do it. Mind. I'll give
it to you straight. You see, l was
working the line down Nassau street
last fall, and one night in August or
September-no, August-abouta week
after our association picnic it was-I
was perched up on the top OF pole
down near William street, singing
something or other, I don't remember
what just now, and two girls, regular
daisies, came down on the other side.
So says to myself. Pll give them
scare and with that I chucked a
point and it landed right behind them.
Well, sir, you can hang me if one of
'em, the smallest, didn't Jump a rod.
When they see who 1t was as chuck
ed 1t, sung out, 'Ah, there!' just for
the fun of the thing, and leaned over
and began to laugh. But I caught
hold of them wires, and, holy Moses! 1
got dose that'll last me, I'm telling
you. 1t came and went sudden like. l
guess I only touched that connection
but it knocked me out for a week. l
thought l was a smart Aleck, did,"
said the young man as he started for
the next pole, "but was too fresh, ]

A Fair kleptomaniac.
New York Correspondence Baltimore
American

New York Correspondence Baltimore
American.
A we'll known merchant of this city,
whose trade is principally among the
female fashionables, gives some start
ling information about kleptomania,
which he pronounces a disease.
Having just threatened to prose-
cute one of the women in this city for
theft, I have been in a position to
know considerable about the extent
to which kleptomanla obtains among
shoppers generally" said the mer'
hant.
II have a customer whose pilferings
are worth more to me than her pur-
chases, although size buys heavily.
"This disease has taken such firm
hold upon her that her husband pays
her bills without question. This lady,
whose wealth is up to the hundred
thousands, will not hesitate to pick
up trifing articles and conceal them.
For these we invariably send bills at
the highest prices. The husband is so
accustomed to these bills that, each
week, he lays aside an amount which
he terms needle fund.- as needles are
the articles most commonly preferred
by his wife. Nor will this kleptomani-
&C hesitate to steal the most trif1ing
articles from her best friend. FIRE.
quently persons whose houses she
visits report the loss DISMAL articles
to her husband, who always pays the
,1oi, 70
which his wife is a victim and begs
that nothing be said about the theft
farther than a presentation to him
of the bill for the amount. A Broad
way baker, whose shop it is her GUS
tom to visit, makes out monthly
bill for luncheon loss And SC, wher-
ever this kleptomaniac-rich though
she is-visits, bill, suspiciously
worded, is sure to follow.
"During the halliday season the
dealers in fancy articles complained
of the loss of such goods as this KEEP
tomaniac would fancy. and one OF
them took occasion to shadow her in
her shopping tour through his place.
He discovered that the lady had ap-
proprlated about $50 worth ofgoods,
for which she did not offer to settle,
while spending hundreds of dollars for
handsome articles for presents. The
proprietor was in quandary. To re-
mind his fair customer Of the fact that
she was theft meant the loss of the
profits on her purchases, and not to
do so would be to encourage her to
greater thefts. Ascertaining her hus.
bands address the merchant sought
an interview. He threatened prosecu.
ton at first until the wlfe's disease for
th!eving was explained.
"Now, there is standing agreement
between the husband and the proprie-
tor of the store. to the effect that
when in future the wife visits the store
she shall be closely followed by sales
man with account book. The value
of all the articles stolen shall be not
ed. and bill sent, without the lady's
knowledge, to her husband, who
promises to settle promptly for every
thing provided exposure is carefully
guarded against"

A large number of Chicago girls met
one evening recently for the purpose

But what kind OF bigot is Grover

He was a Democrat when Denoc-

Democracy meant the slave pen. the

He is a Democrat who is without any

achievements of his day and generation.
The Union was saved without him.
Our armies We're raised without him.
Our battles were fought without him.
Slavery was abolished without him.
Secession was shot to death without
him. Suffrage was made universal
without him. The grand systems of
finances that have made our country
the wonder and admiration of the
world were all conceived and executed
without him. Recall if you can the

most infamous practices of Democracy,
