That CrinnIad Arm.

New York, May 4-The -Hedical Record
this week will contain a story on the au-
thority OF a physician who was a compan-
ion OF Grown Prince William in the gym
nasium which will deny that the Prince is
tainted with scrofula and will explain
his crippled arm by the statement
that it was broken at his birth by
one of the attending physicians. Two
English physicians were summoned to
attend Empress Victoria at that time.
They met a difficulty they could not sur
mount and asked Prof. Martin, the elder,
a noted German scientist, to assist them.
He finally came only at the order of EN-
peror William. Whether he broke the
arm out Of revenge for the slight put upon
German physicians or whether it was the
accidental work of the English doctors
will never be known.

Drug Stores in Germany.

The drug stores have a curious way
here of shutting up just about the time
you want them. And as soon as it be-
gins to grow dark. down go the shut
tiers, and if you need any thing you go
to little bell handle outside of one of
the iron shutters and ring it. Then
you hear some one at crank inside,
the massive frame rolls up, and head
looks out the window. Finally the
man or boy inside opens part of the
window and you talk through pane of
glass, and you make known your wants.
Instead of showing anger at being
aroused, the man begs your pardon for
keeping you outside and says: 81
thank you for your order" If you
have not the exact change, and the
man inside is not in the same predica-
ment. he will beg you most politely
and thank you to allow him to change
it. Having done so he will thank you
for calling evidently taking the visit
as social one), bow, close his little
peep hole, bow again. and then smile
sweetly as he grinds down his iron
shutter and his smiling face is lost to
view. How different from the druggists
in America! remember I once woke
one up in the States and he came down
stairs with shotgun after me. But, as
I remarked before, they have a curious
way of doing things in Dresden

TO ATTORNEYS.

In acting as administrator, with will an
nexed, OF the estate of Walter d. Stephenson,
deceased, find some difficulty in determ-
lining the reasonable value of professional
services rendered by Mr.. Stephenson SUBJ
seuuent to April LIST, 1887. am also led to
believe that Mr.. Stephenson rendered
services in cases about which I have no
knowledge whatever. For instance, am
his death, stated that he had rendered
about that time; that he was to receive for
those services fifteen hundred dollars, and
that he as to +, ceive for other services
sum of two hundred dollais. / believe it
was stated that the case last referred 10 was
land case, but am not able to get any
fur her information about the actions; not
even the name of Mr.. Stephenson's client,
nor the title of the cause.
shall deem it q favor If attorneys asso-
ciated with Mr.. Stephenson or retained
against Mr. Stephenson's cliente, will hand
rae such memoranda as they can without
too muc Inconvenience prepare. to assist
8 re the name of Mr. stephensons client, a
designation Of the matter involved and an
estimate of the reasonable value of SER
vices rendered, particularly referring to the
fifteen hundred dollar matter above men
toned and to services rendered shortly be-
fore Mr.. Stephens0n's death.

liminary hearing before Judge Taney
yesterday on a charge of embezzle-
ment preferred by his former en-
ployer, MIR. L. H. De Mers, proprietor
OF confectionery store at 206 South

AMUSEMENTS.
The First Night Of s'BOccaccfO,'
at the Pavilion.

The First Night Of "BOccaccfO''
at the Pavilion.
The opera-bouffe, Boccaccio, founded
on the lines of the famous Decameron,
is always a favorite with theater-goers,
and large audience assembled at the
Pavilion last night to see how it would
be treated by the Pyke Opera Com
pany. 1t lost none of it's merits at
their hands-the setting being ac-
curate in every detail, the costumes
very elaborate, and the libretto sus-
tanned with a due sense of its
humor. Miss Winston made a
very acceptable "Boccaccio," and
sang and acted her part with great
vivacity, and Miss Louise Manfred,
in the role Of "Fiam etta," was at her
best. The "Cooper's' song was highly
,elished, and was Immediately pre-
ceded by portrayal by Mr.. DeLange
of an individual suffering from deli
rum tremens, which competent
judges pronounced to be a very life
like effort. The piece will be played
again tonight, aud at the matinee
to-day Les Manteaur Noirs will be
presented.

Osfrich Farming.

Mr.. f. @. Cawston, one of the pro.
prietors of the Norwalk Ostrich Farm,
made a trip to the city yesterday. He
reports that in their new quarters (the
birds were transferred there from
Washington Gardens) the ostriches
are doing remarkably we'll, and the
results are answering his most san
guine expectations. Nine chicks were
hatched out on Wednesday and twen-
ty-five more are due within the next
two weeks. There are thirty-four
birds on the farm now, and there will
be rich harvest of feathers this year.

ILLINOIS SOCIAL.
An : Entertaining Evening al
Good Templars, Hall.

Good TemPiars' Hall.
An unusually large number of per-
sons were present at the Illinois So
ciety last night. Many ladies and
gentlemen were unable to even secure
standing room in the ante-room and
we're obliged to return home. The
programme was an excellent one,
possibly over the average, and it is
known the standard is high. Mr..
Ferew pleased the audience with
recitation entitled "Carl Dun
der's Dog" Miss E. L. Adams
rendered piano solo very acceptably.
The house was brought down by
Major G. w. Arbuckle in his famous
character recitation, "The Statue of
Liberty" Major Arbuckle's quick
translation from the French to Scotch,
English, Italian, Irish, German, Chi
nese, African and Yankee dialect is
so remarkably accurate and real that
the hearer almost fancies him differ
ent individual at each change.
A either duet by Miss Fannie Rich
and Mr.. Charles Deite, and a selec-
ton, "Hamlet's Soliloqny," by Mr..
Henry Harrison, added much to the
entertainment.
After long intermission, Sidney
Grannis, the famous composer who
has produced some OF the most popu-
lar ballads of the day, favored the
audience with "The World Would be
Better" "The Fidgety Wife," "The
Laughing Man."
The programme was concluded with
the following: Recitation, "Uh,
Unh," L d. Dean; reading, Mrs. Jo-
sic La Strong; either duet, Fannie
Rich and Chas. Siedel solos, "Maid.
ems Dialogue" "Sour Krout," "ln
the Isles Of the By and By" Major

Progressive Euchre.

A pleasant prOgrt ssive euchre party
was held last night at Miss Stout's
residence, 900 Olive street. A feature
of the proceedings was the presenta-
ton to Miss Stout of a magnificent
floral design presented by the mem
bers Of the euchre party. 1t was a
massive grouping of roses and yellow
casca, representing euchre hand,
and was set in a framework OF fern,
making charming effect.
Progressive euchre is rapidly be-
coming very popular source of
amusement and is very pleasant way
of bringing friends together.

The .sCactus,, Blooming out.

AS is natural to the plant, the
Cactus increases in size each week.
Most appropriate is its name, and it is
we'll defined in Webster: "The cactus
is plant armed with spines, and is
remarkable for being often of gro
tesque shapes, and for having flowers
often Of great beauty and sweetness.
It is native Of tropical South Cali
fornia." Carl Browne, the Cactus'
artist-proprietor, editor-in-chief and
Mast Of the Pacific coast, has come to

of the Typographical Union, and was
the managing editor of the Commercial
Bulletin in its early days laying the

Benson,s Latest Move.

SAN Francisco, March 23.-Late
this afternoon John A. Benson, ex-
surveyor and alleged conspirator filed
six demurrers 10 a similar number OF
indictments pending against him in
the Circuit Court. All the de-
murrers cover about the same
ground that the indictment
is insufficient in law because courts
do not charge offense Of any kind
against the United States, nor the
laws thereof, nor do they charge any
act which is made a misdemeanor,
felony or crime by laws of the United
States.

thugs, convicted of conspiracy, were
called for sentence to-day in Judge
Sullivan's Court, and special counsel
for the prosecution stated that since
the conviction Of the defendants, he
had discovered that the Superior
Court had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter, and that the case should have
been tried in the Police Court. He
therefore said that he could not ask
the Court to pass sentence. Judge
Sullivan took the matter under ad-
visement.

At the Opera House.

Hoyt's Hole IN the Ground is having
remarkable success at the Opera
House, and was witnessed by another
large audience last night. The

time while waiting for the train forms
an endless source Of amusement, and
