Her Married suitor Sues Her Faith er for
False imprisonment.
An interesting case was argued in the
Hoboken District Court before Judge
Abel l. Smith yesterday. William
Pinell, an engineer of Brunswick street,
was attracted by the pretty face of Lizzie
Snooks, of No. 2O9 1-2 Eighth street, and
began to pay her marked attention.
The friendship that existed between
the pair seemed to be developing into
something warmer, and old Mr.. Snooks
thought it was about time to ascertain
who and what Mr.. Pinell was. His en-
quiries elected the very pleasant fact that
his daughters lover had wife and four
children.
This was enough for him to at once for
bid Pinell to call on his daughter any
more.
Pinell agreed to cease his visits but
Lizzie would not hear of it. She accused
her father of harshness and finally packed
her trunk and left the house.
Mr. Snooks waited for few days and
then called on Pinell and demanded his
daughter. Pinell denied all knowledge
of the young woman and when her father
persisted showed him the door. Mr.
Snooks returned in few hours with
constable and had Pinell arrested for
abduction.
Court and exhonerated Pinel from all
blame On her evidence he was dis
charged and the case dropped.
Pinell thought that it was about time
for him to take hand in the game, and
he engaged counsel and sued Snooks for
$500 damages.
Judge Smith and jury listened to the
different witnesses yesterday. Miss Lizzie
acknowledged that Pinell had been a
friend of hers but nothing more.
The jury will take the case Friday.

The body of John McGrane, the Hobo

last Thursday, was viewed by number
of his old friends at his home, No 1884

feared that he had met with foul play.
His shop on Clinton street is in a lonely
place and has been robbed twice. Poor

Another absurd story is told in illus
tration of animal gratitude and mans
u-nintentional but fatal lack of compre-
hension. A man was disturbed by a fly,
which would not be driven off, returning
again and again. AT last the man be-
came enraged and killed the fly. He
then discovered n snake coiled up near
his head, and found, though by what
e does not appear, that the little fly
had bitten him to save his life. Then
there is the oft repeated story of the old
German dog Sultan, which, in a COM
monty narrated European fable, is rep
resented as overhearing its master and
mistress decide that the old dog must be
killed. Sultan objected to the proposal,
and went to his friend, the wolf, for aid.
So the next day the wolf made a mock
attack at the child in the cradle, where
upon the toothless old dog attacked and
drove it off, for which act of apparent
bravery old Sultan vas respited and al
lowed to die of old age.-St. Louis Globe

An Easily satisfied Poet.

The Hungarian poet, Maurice Jokil,
who was an intimate friend and COM
panion of the late Prince Rudolph, has
just made a contribution to the solution
of what is still the mysterious tragedy of
Meyerling. The poets theory is that the
crown prince, seeing public opinion 60
ing against what he conceived to be his
mission, deliberately sacrificed himself
to the peace of the world. In support of
this idea he cites two scraps of converse
ton, in one of which Prince Rudolph,
referring to the floating rumors about
his domestic relations, said: 81 love my
family beyond everything, and tell those
who say the opposite hat they do not
speak the truth" The other was: "Ahl
how l would like to die on q field of bat
tie. War is inevitable, and, therefore,
would that it would come quicklyl The
longer it is delayed the worse it will be.
Either we will conquer, or we will fall
with glory" This settles the question
in the mind of the poet.-New York

Some curious devices practiced by
criminals are mentioned by the writer of
a series of articles in The Times of India
on "By-paths of Crime in India" One
curiosity which he was shown on a visit
to the Presidency jail in Calcutta was a
heavy lead bullet about -th.ee-quarters
of an inch in diameter. This was found
on an habitual thief and was being used
to form a pouch or bag in the throat for
secreting money, jewels, etc., in the
event of his being searched. The ball is
put into the mouth and is allowed to
slide down gently until it reaches some
part near the epiglottis, where it is held
in position and Is kept there for about
half an hour at a time. This operation
is repeated many times daily, and grad
ually a sort of pocket is formed, the time
being longer or shorter according to the
size of pocket required. In some cases
six months have been sufficient, in others
a year, while in some cases two years are
necessary. Such a pouch as this last is
capable of holding ten rupees, about the
size of ten forms. The thief, therefore,
a undergo search, and nothing being
found he goes away with the spoil in his
throat, the power of breathing and speech
being in nc way interfered with.
About a score of prisoners in the Cal
cutta jail have such pouch formations.
In the hospital of the prison the visitor
learned some of the malingering practices
of Indian criminals. In one case he saw
a youth who was a perfect skeleton, with
lustrous eyes looking out in a CHASTITY
manner from a worn, haggard face. 1t
was discovered that he had for two years
been taking an irritant poison, with a
view to produce diarrhea, in order tc
shirk work and get pleasant quarters in
the hospital. But he had overdone the
part, for he had reduced himself to such
a condition that recovery was all but i'm
possible. This taking of internal irri-
tants is a common practice among the
habitual criminals of Calcutta. Castor
oil seed, croton seed, and two other seeds
which have no English name are the
agents most commonly employed. One
man YES pointed out who, in order to
get off his letters, had produced an ulcer
by rubbing the chafed skin with caustic
lime and then irritating the sore by
scratching it with a piece of broken bot

Coca is the dried leaf of a South Amer
lean shrub, used for its stimulating mar
cotic properties, which it is said to pos
sess in a greater degree than opium, to-
bacco or any other vegetable produc-
ton. The leaves are gathered and dried
in the sun, and mixed with quicklime,
and are chewed by the Peruvian Indians,
the effect being to support the strength
for a considerable time in the absence of
food. Its use is attended with perni-
cious consequences, as the appetite for
it increases, and the power of resist
ance diminishes, until at last death comes
as a relief.-Herald of Health.

A story the Other WAY.

Two young women and a young
man climbed on top of a Fifth avenue
stage one day last week and settled down
on one of the back seats for a pleasant
ride up the avenue. The young women
were Of the prim sort, and were evident
ly not used to travelling on the hurricane
deck of a vehicle. On the seat with the
driver was a ~fashionably dressed man
smoking an excellent cigar, and enjoy
ing himself to his hearts content. The
smoke was waited back, but it was
rather enjoyed by all on the stage ex-
cept the two prim young ladies. They
didn't like, or at least they pretended
not to like it.

one.

smoke on the stage" said the other.
"Well some people don't know enough
to stop smoking when there are ladies
around"

officers of the company about it,"
The gentleman sitting with the driver
heard all that was said, and it was evil

But he smoked right on, and didn't seem
to care whether the officials of the COM
pany were complained to or not. The
young women kept on making remarks
and his position was a little embarrass-
ing. His cigar was pretty well smoked
down by the time he got ready to get off.
AS the stage halted he turned to the
young man who was with the prim
young ladies and said: 81 have heard a
good deal of what has been said about
smoking. Now, it might as well be I'M

the driver.
