How q Gang of French Burglars Abused
One of Their Victims.
That mournful establishment. the
morgue, was surrounded by a bowling
and angry mob yesterday. The burg
lars who plundered the villa at Auteuil
the other night, and cut the throat OF
the caretaker of the house. were taken
to the morgue for the purpose OF the
usual s'information'' with the corpse of
the victim. and as they were entering
and leaving the dead house the people
roared and made Intellectual dashes at
them. Nj. Guillot, the Juge d'Instruc-
ton, had arranged an extra dramatic
bit of business for the occasion. having
brought down to the mortuary M me.
Bourbon, the mother of the man who
had been murdered by the burglars
The magistrate had done this for the
purpose of making an impression on
the miscreants, who are all hardened
in crime, and whom the mere spectacle
of a dead body would not move.
Allorto, the Italian, who was cap
tured the night of the burglary, was
the first prisoner examined at the
morgue. He said that when he and
his confederates went into the draw
ing-room of the villa they saw Bour-
don pretending to be fast asleep on his
iron cot. Thereupon they danced
around him, and Cathelin. one of the
gang, said: Your last hour has come.

MACAULAY A ROBBER.
How the Famous Historian Secured a
Frightened Romans Watch.

How the Famous Historian Secured a
Frightened Romans Watch.
Lord Macaulay, when a young man,
was visiting Rome, and one night went
to see the Coliseum by moonlight
While alone under the dark arches,
where it is as black as night, all of a
sudden a man in large cloak brushed
past him rather rudely. as Macaulay
thought. and passed on into the dark
ness. Macaulay's first impulse was to
clap his hand to his watch-pocket. and
sure enough he found his watch was
not there. He looked after the man,
who, he doubted not, had stolen his
| watch as he brushed past him, and
peering into the darkness, could just
distinguish the outline of a figure NOV
ing away. Macaulay rushed after him,
overlook him, and Selling him by the
collar, demanded his watch. Macau-
lay could speak very little Italian, and
understood none when spoken, so he
was obliged to limit his attack on the
thief to violent shaking of him by
the collar, and an angry repetition of
the demand: ''Orologio! Orologio!'
(''watch! watchrD.> The man just at
tackled poured forth a torrent of rapid
ly-spoken words, of which Macaulay
understood not a syllable. but once
again administered a severe shaking to
his captive, stamping his foot angrily
on the ground. and again vociferating
''Orologio! Orologio!'' whereupon the
detected thief drew forth the watch
and handed it to the captor. Macau-
lay, satisfied with his proves in hav-
ing thus recaptured his property. and
not caring for the trouble of pursuing
the matter any further, turned on his
heel as he pocketed the watch, and
saw nothing more of the man. But
when he returned to his apartment at
night his landlady met him at the
door, holding out something in her
hand, saying: ''Oh. sir, you left your
watch on the table, so 1 thought it bet
ter to take care of it; here it is"
Good gracious! what is it then; what
is the meaning of it?' stammered
Macaulay, drawing from his pocket the
watch he had so gallantly recovered in
the Coliseum. twas watch he had
never seen before. The truth was
plain-he was the thief. The poor
man he had so violently attacked and
apostrophized in the darkness and
solitude of the Coliseum arches had
been terrified into surrendering his
own watch to the ruffian who, as he
conceived, had pursued him to rob
him. The next morning Macaulay,
not little crestfallen, fastened to the
Office of the questor with the watch
and told his story. ':Ah! I see." said
the questor. ''You had better leave
| the watch. will make your excuses
to the owner of it; he has already been
| here to denounce you. ''-Tid-Bits

Europeans of all nations are to be
found in this motley mass. The sur
roundings, too. are well worthy of re-
mark. Surrounding the base of the
pagoda are numerous shrines and
smaller pagodas, fitted with the
most wondrous carving; outside these
sit musicians playing on tom-toms,

blessed with ten sons and daughters,
that you are hospitable and kind

travagantly generous-the latter quail
ity is never missing from the catalogue,
for the willy Burman hopes in this way
to screw out another anna Or two, but,
perhaps, as a rule, unsuccessfully.

Niagara Falls Receding.

It is estimated that Niagara Falls
will recede two miles and then remain
stationary, their height at that point
being eighty feet, instead of 164. as at
present. The supposition is supported
by an argument which appears reason
able. The present site is a limestone
formation some eighty or ninety feet
thick, with shaly foundation. AS the
shale is washed away, the limestone
breaks off, and the falls take a step
backward. But the end of the shaly
deposit will be reached two miles from
the present falls, and then the rushing
water will have more than it can do to
wear away the solid precipice over
which it will be projected.

SUNDAY IN RURMAH,

Worshipers and Spectators Around the
Famous Pagoda at Rangoom.
Perhaps one of the most wonderful
structures that the Orient can boast is
the pagoda at Rangoon. "Shway" is
Burmese for gold or gilded, and, if the
reader can imagine an elongated bulb
Gus dome drawn out to a height greater
than St Paul's, and covered complete
iy with FURNISHED gold from base to
summit, he may get an idea of the
Shway Dugon pagOda. But stay, he
must not forget the Eastern sun blazing
on it in d clear atmosphere, causing
the eye to turn away from it, dazzled
by its supreme brilliance, for relief
among the deep-green foliage at it's
feet. At the very crown of the spire is
fixed canopy studded with rubies,
diamonds, emeralds and sapphires. and
this again is crowned by gilded flag,
in which all the choicest gems are set
in pure gold. This flag was recently
dislodged by an earthquake and was
taken down, and for three consecutive
Sundays all the pious Burmese f1ocked
to contribute a share toward the
expense of remodeling and enriching
this ornament. There are two or three
layers of leaden alloy inside, while
outside these are covered with layer
OF pure gold about quarter of an inch
thick and densely encrusted with gems.
The remelting is solemn ceremony
conducted by the ''poongyees" or Bur-
meSe elders. a select committee of
whom gather and control the public
funds. Clad in flowing white garments
the .poongyees" gather behind bam-
boo barrier inside a kind of square
tent. and receive the offerings of the
people, which vary from a diamond
worth $500 rupees to few pice. ac-
cording to the wealth of the donor.
The high-caste Burmese lady comes
forward, and unclasping a costly bangle
set with gems, hands it over to the pre-
siding functionary; the magnate strips
MS rings from his hands, and they,
too, go into the melting-pot, where the
poorer people contribute small gold

The Goat Made the Horse.

A citizen of Xenia, O, had the
family horse clipped, and then told his
wife and daughter that he traded off
the faithful animal. Both were as
founded and began Immediately to
criticise the new one. ''How ugly his
color is" said one of them. .sWhat an
ungainly shape, too" remarked the
other. ''And see how wild and reck-
less he acts" said the mother, who al
ways dotted on the gentleness of the old
horse. In this way they dissected the
new horse for quite awhile. and when
told the truth could hardly refrain from
apologizing to the old horse they had
so slandered.

A WELCOME INVESTIGATION.

Mr.. Bynum's proposed resolution to in
vestigate the administration of the dis
trict attorneys office in this city will
meet with no opposition from the pres
ent incumbent. On the contrary, Mr..
Chambers has written Mr.. Bynum a let
ter cordially welcoming the investiga-
ton, and pledging himself to give all
needed assistance. The suggestion
which he makes, that the investigation
should cover the administration of his
immediate predecessor, al well as his
own, is'so plainly just that Mr.. Bynum
will, of course, adopt it. No official in
vestigation can afford to assume a parti-
san character, and in order to avoid this
Mr.. Bynum will doubtless be glad to ac-
cept the district attorneys suggestion.
Mr.. Bynum's proposition is intended
to create the impression that there has
been some official cr~ookedness or i'm
propriety in the treatment of the Dud-
ley case, and that the authorities have
connived at his sO-called escape from
arrest. Our Congressman is lawyer
CuOu&u W huOW tudt ITO duu nlS party
friends could have had Dudley arrested
at any time if they had wanted to, With
out waiting for him to come into this
State. He knows, also, that if there was
any failure of justice in this regard it
was under a former administration of
the district attorneys Office. and not un-
der the present one. Therefore, as an
attorney and friend of justice, he should
make his motion for an investigation to
the entire proceedings in the case.
If il could be made to cover the rulings
of Judge Woods, so much the better.
That official, we are quite sure, would
welcome an investigation as promptly
as Mr.. Chambers has done. We only
fear that Mr.. Bynum will be advised
from here by his political friends, if he
has not been already, to let the matter
drOD.
