Use OF Decoy Letters

Justice Harlan of the supreme court
Of the United States, has rendered an
interesting decision in a criminal case
at Baltimore in relation to the use of
decoy letters. A decoy letter contain
ing money was addressed to resident
of Baltimore and placed with the letters
which, in the regular course of business.
are put upon the dumping table in the
Baltimore post-ofilce The inspectors
by whom this was done had previously
agreed with the postmaster that the let
ter, if 1t passed the backing table and
the cancelllng table and reached the
carriers room, should be taken there
from and given back TO the inspectors.
instead Of being turned over to ear.
rier for delivery to the person to whom
it was addressed. As matter of fact how
ever, The letter never got to the carriers
room at all, and the prisoner was
charged with having taken it while he
was at work at the backing table.
There were two counts in the indict-
ment against him. He was accused OF
having stolen the money out of the let
ter. Upon this charge he was acquitted
He was also accused Of having violated
that portion OF section 5467 Of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States,
which makes ii a crime for any person
employed IN any department of the
postal service TO "sccrete, embezzle or
destroy any letter, packet. bag or nail
of letters intrusted TO him, or which
shall come into his possession, and
which was intended to be conveyed by
mail" Upon this latter charge the
prisoner was convicted. Judge Harlan
holds the conviction wrong, and has or.
dered new trial on the ground that the
decoy letter was not intended to be
convened by mail -

PrpScr ing Eggs.

Although there are dozens of methods
Tor preserving eggs, t but few of them
are worthy of notice. LINED eggs have
been almost unstable his wear, and the
lime method Will =, De discarded. We
give below few rules that will enable
our readers to preserve eggs in good
/ condition for at least three months.
though eggs have been kept as long as six
| months by the process.
/. Always use fresh eggs, and do not
rely on those from yo1r neighbor. You
must know that every egg is fresh, as one
stale egg may injure all.
2. Use c2l s only from hens rot in com
pany with cocks, rs such eggs will keep
three times as long as those contain
ing germs Of chicks
3. Keep them in a cool place-the cooler
the better. Anywhere near forty degrees
above zero Will answer, though sixty de
grees will be cool enough for q few
months. Only be careful that eggs do not
freeze.
4. Turn them half over three times q
week. to prevent them from adhering to
the shells. TIE turning of the eggs is
very important, and one Of the secrets OF
success.
). No packing material is necessary.
Simply lay them on racks or shelves;
though If preferred they may be packed
in boxes, in dry oats and the boxes turned
&. Solutions, greasiug the eggs, egg
preserving preparations, etc. are un-
necessary, as some Of them injure the ap-
pearanee of the eggs
z. Wash every egg clean before placing

The temptation was great, for she
had been handsomely paid for what

ring was just what she wanted. She
studied for some time, but finally shook
her head III the negative.

Her tones We're low and pathetic, while
her eyes were filled with tears, yet

"You are very foolish, my lady, to

do Just as You please. You can also
have your birds and flowers.

Yes, it is high time for You to go

A sad little sigh escaped Lenora' s
beautiful lips as she said:
Il so wish that l was at my dear old,

| They descended the velvet-carpeted
stairway into brilliantly lighted hall.
| To the left were the double parlors, and
| back of them the drawing room. On
the right was the library and Nolls pri-
vate rooms. The two parlors were fur
nished nearly alike, and very richly in
deed; the drawlng-room was very fine,
also. In the front parior, on an easel
in one corner, stood picture of fair
young girl, with dark, beautiful eyes,
and long golden curls. She wore a
short, pink dress, while on the back of
her head rested jaunty little straw
hat, with a wreath of field daisies round
| the crown. On her white, plump arm
| hung basket of Wild flowers. Before
| this picture Noll was standing, while
his hungry eyes seemed to be feasting
on the lovely, innocent maiden in the
painting.
AS he stood there the door opened,
and the original, Lenora Churchill, en-
tered the parlor. He looked up while
, a bright smile fitted across his hand
some face; a soft sigh of admiration
escaped his lips as the gaslight shone
full upon the beautiful girl before him
Mrs. King was right when she said that
| Lenora was more beautiful than any
! queen her beauty was unearthly as she
stood there alone upon the velvet car
pets, with her close-fitting, pale-blue
satin dress. The snow-white throat
and soft dimpled baby-like arms were
bare. The dress was trimmed and
looped with pearls aud lace, while round
her throat was clasped cluster OF
priceless jewels. A part of the long
golden curls were looped up and fast
ened with sweet yiolets.

Heavy Loss by the Eruption in the
Vicinity of the Gulf of Corinth.
ATHENS, Sept. 1.-THE shocks of
earthquake at Nostitza yesterday were
severe and caused much damage and
some loss oflife. Many buildings were de-
stroyed and streets are impossible. Two
dead bodies have been taken from the
ruins and there is reason to believe 9TH
ers are buried, as the first shock me
so suddenly that there was no til for
escape. Many persons are injured, the
entire population is living in the open
spaces within and outside the city.
TIE shocks extended beyond the town,
and villages in the vicinity suffered in
greater or lesser degree. The telegraph
cable between Corinth and Patras
was broken. Tie disturbance must
have been very violent at the bottom of
the gulf and there must have been an
upheaval of the bed of the sea to have
caused the breakage Of the submarine
cable. The king has gone TO the scene
of disaster and ordered additional tents
and rations for the destitute people.

The Coming Trousers.

There is a new fashion in trousers.
1t has not arrived on this side of the
Atlantic yet, but it is coming, accord
ing 10 London fashion journal; and
when it does come look ont for the gay
est thing in the century. Won't there
be wild time when the innovation APP
pears? Embroid cred trousersl Think
of that, We staid old business men !!
Think of that, and look forward to the
time when You will have to have the
American flag embroidered on the legs
of the trousers of your dress suit be-
fore Your wife will let you go to a ball
with her. Think, YOU young men of
Chicago, what chance that will give
you to dress in the height of fashion.
Think of the sentiment of having
likeness of Miss Angelina De We're en-
broidered on your trOusersi You may
talk of having her image craven on
your heart, but what is that to having
it craven on your trousers leg? She
viii know then that you are not de-
ceiying her when you say that her like
ness IS ever with YOU.
The embroidered trousers are evil
IDENTIFY the result of the search for some
thing new that will not be obnoxious to
50 many. How popular it will become
in America is yet a conundrum. The
dudes and the Anglomaniacs will prob
ably take it up at once, but the great
army OF business men will be slow to
fall IN, and it is not unlikely that the
new fad" Will die the same natural
death that the knickerbocker affair
did a fayy yporu oo,o Tho G1,1ac oo,
make p fad, " but they must be sup
ported by the more conservative society
and business men to make it fashion.
Yet the coming fad" offers great
opportunities for the young men of to-
day. 1t is limited that it will be the
proper thing for some young lady to
do the embroidery, and that will give
great chance for the young men to
show how devoted the young ladies are
to them.

DESPERATE MEASURES
Advocated BY Members Of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers.
To Bring the Chicago Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Officials to Terms.

NEW YORK, March 4.
Delegates from fifteen divisions of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in
this vicinity. representing all the roads that
centre here, held meeting in Tammany
Hall, to consider the c. b. 4 q. strike.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted de-
nouncing as cowardly and unfare the action
of certain railroad managers who are said to
be secretely aiding the Burlington, and rec
ommeEding that if the trouble is not settled
within a reasonable time all the brotherhood
men on roads connecting with the c. b. 4
@, will resign March Is, also proposing that
If this does not bring the latter road to
terms, all the members of the organization
throughout the United States, Canada and
Mexico will join issue March so, in demand
ing thar the rights of the striking c. b. L q.
engineers and fremen be acknowledged.
Resolutions expressing sincere regret that
extreme measures should be necessary as
the business interestof the country must suf-
fer If the strike spreads, but say the respon-
sibility of the present trouble must be placed
upon the penurious and tyranical manage
ment of the c, b. i q, system.
Ii is suggested that every division in the
country hold meeting, take action and ap-
point delegates to be ready to attend at short
notice the session of the Grand International
Division of the Brotherhood. One delegate
said that the prevailing sentiment among the
engineers in this vicinity is that the trouble
must be bought out 10 successful tcrmina-
tlon at all hazards. There will be uxand
Union meeting of the brotherhood of Ensi-
neer and Fireman at Tamany hall next Mon
day
