An Unconscious Puferer
From the Boston Gazette.


Mrs. C., the wealthy widow of million
aire, has been travelling in Europe with a
party of friends the past year. Naturally.
in going about from place to place, one
meets with ali kinds of adventures. and
they have been no exception to this rule
One day they had been dining in a French
cafe, and when their bill was preseute =.
among tho items, to their great surprise,
they saw, "Silver spoon, So
What does that mean " exclaimed one
of the pGsrty; I'VE haven't bought any silver
spoonm
Tho waiter was interviewed, and said there
was II silver spoon missing, and it must be
paid for But" he kindly added, 'if you
return it the money will be refunded"
There seemed TO be no alternative for the
surprised and inSulted diners, aud tho bill
was paid, with a good deal of joking at
their own expense. The next day Mrs. C.,
with two friends, left the rest of the party
and went ON to another town. That even
ing, as she seated herself at the table. she
heard climbing sound, and, RISING, looked
on the floor to see what she
had dropped. She saw nothing.
but on rescating herself the sound
was heard again. 1t seemed 10 be
something IN her dress striking against the
leg Of the table, and closer investigation
disclosed the silver spoon tightly caught in
the told of her skirt.

The Ball Club to be Held Together to
Get the League Fund.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 11-Thers was
a sudden change in the base ball situation

on Saturday next to play five scheduled
games. President Young has therefore de-
cidsd to keep his team together. If Bir
mlngham shows up on Saturday the two
clubs will finish the season or come 70 a
mutual understanding If Birmingham
fails 10 appear President Young will claim
the forfeit, 800 for each game, and will also
claim the balance Of the guarantee money
in the league treasury, amounting to about
$1,000 This makes the situation lively.
President Young is out about 81 900 on the
season, and he says he is going to see it
through if it takes all the summer and a
good deal more of his wealth. The players
had actually made arrangements to go off,
when this decision was arrived at. Every
body is anxiously looking for Saturday and

How Miss Rives Astonished Two
Youths

From the Philadelphia Ne,Us.
A couple of Washington's gllded youth
were down in Albemare county not long
ago on a hunting expedition, and, being
properly indorsed, they concluded to call on
the Ovidian novelist. They went, and we're
ushered into the parlor, where they waited
an hour, and then the young woman en-
tered, and the two youngsters scarcely old
enough to vote, either of them-were almost
scared out of their wits. She came in at
tired in pure white gown, with
an immensely long train and
with great angel sleeves reaching
to the floor, and bearing i'll her
two hands. like some weird priestess, huge
lamp, emitting the softest rays of shaded
light. The boys at once thought of "She,n
and were on the point Of falling out the
back window, but they recovered as she set
down the lamp, and by the time she had
talked awhile and invited them to supper
they were calm enough for all practical
purposes. At the supper table one sat by
Miss Rives' side and the other one immedi-
ately opposite, and was talking TO some one
on his side of the table while Miss Rives
devoted herself to the other. They were
talking of people physically and otherwise,
and Miss Rives remarked, with a nod
toward her companions friend:
'Now there's man | never could get
along with. Look at his face: there is
nothing in it; he is absolutely stupid"
The young man was embarrassed. He
felt that it was not gallant to differ with
his hostess, and he felt that it was not kind
to acknowledge that his friend was a fool.
so he maintained a discreet silence and let
the eccentric being talk on.
The boys held conference later, and the
one across the table confessed he had heard
all that had been going on on the other
side
