ISaII Room Manners.

A society woman writes deprecatingly of the want of manners that so many people exhibit at balls and other social entertainments, and of the ruthlessness with which they will interrupt an inter- esting conversation. How are they to know that it is interesting? Well, if they have only a little discrimination they will be able to see for themselves. ''Once upon time," she says, lit was understood that opportunities were to be waited for, and tete-a-tetes were not ab- ruptly broken in upon" But such a state of things-if it ever existed-exists no longer. A woman will beckon to a man across the drawing room, and lo! he will arise and go. leaving the woman he had been talking to all alone, and perhaps she knows no one else in the room. Another woman will cross the room and enter into conversation with a man who is enjoying quiet talk with another woman, whom she does not know. But it is so easy to ignore the other woman! A man will seek out an- other man who has retired to a secluded corner with a pretty girl, and, not know ing the girl, will tell his friend he wants to introduce him to a certain lady. If you are a woman, your host or hostess comes up and carries of the man to whom you are talking, in order to intro duce him to some one else, and you are left standing alone, perhaps in the mid dlc of the room. Theso are actual oc- currences. es.-Philadelph Press.

 HARTFORD, March 29.-Business in the house seemed rather tame this morn ing after the excitement of yesterday when the Swift matter was under con sideration. The vote was close. 113 to 106.in favor of committing his sentence, and the judiciary committee were obliged to make long and eloquent ar guments in order to sustain their own decision.

In answer to a question by MT Glover he stated that the cost would be about S3,000, as the type had been distributed and it would all have to De reset.

OF THE MANNER BORN.
Agent Preston Has an Interview
 With Queer Character.

''Can do some work here to earn for myself lodging and breakfast:' It was a queer looking customer who asked the question as he came into the office of the Organized Charities. His face was dark and rough and his chin very pro- nounced. One eye had ceased to be of any use and one leg was fast following suit. Questioned by the agent, he said that he was born in Waterbury and had always worked around among the far mers hoeing, chopping or doing any thing he could find to do. He didn't know as he had any home, but had been wandering around looking for work. His parents were both dead, he said, but he thought he had some folks living around Waterbury somewhere.
 "How old are you?' was asked. Wal I'm about 9. No, come to think, I guess I must be pretty near 40," was the reply.
 ''What is the cause of your being out of work 7" 70, now don't ask foolish questions. Whats the cause of my being out of wolk If other nations would stay at home the Yankees would too. The country is overrun with for eigners. 1 never see the time when there was so many people around, did ye: That's about right ain't it?'-N. H. News.

A Strange FcathcreI Cannihal.

A remarkable bird, about the sizc of a robin and much resembling a kingfisher without the prominent tuft of feathers, attracted considerable attention on a street in Kennebec, Me, recently. Fly ing along to an English sparrow, with one dart of his hooked beak he killed the little bird, and then, placing one foot upon his victims breast, proceeded to tear in pieces and deyour him. A stage driver picked up the feathcred cannibal and his prey and carried them into a near by store, where, perched upon the counter, he devoured the sparrow with apparent relish. The bird seemed to have no fear of any one, and showed 10 antipathy against anything but the sparrows, several of which he killed dur ing the afternoon. His species was un- known to any who saw him. but it is thought he is one of the variety known as butcher bird.-Maine Paper.

Fraudulent Pawn Tickets,

\ gang of swindlers whose specially in crime was the fraudulent imitation of Mont de Piete pledges, or pawn tickets, has just been discovered. Avuncular guarantees of this description have ire Quently been falsitied in Paris by a pro- cess known among those who live by their wits as the lavage dcs fafes. But the knights of industry who have been captured went further than this and bod fly fabricated fictitious pledges, which they sold in large quantities to purchas- CTS or marchands de reconnaissances du Mont de Piete. The swindlers had suc- ceeded in realizing about e1 ,0O0 between them by their transactions when bounced upon by the police. At their headquar- ters in the Faubourg St. Martin was found a complete manufactory of false tickets. Paris Cor. London Telegraph.

 XiolatOr of the IiuuOr LAWS

Heavy Sentence Imposed Upon a
 Violator of the Liquor Laws.
 One of the mo peculiar prosecutions fer viola ion of the liquor laws that has ever been heard in the local police court was tr ed befo.e Judge Bradstreet this morning and resulted in the owner of the salo managed by Thomas Fagan
 on North Elm street, being fined $50 and costs upon each of three complaints for
 selling liquor to a minor.
 Charles Corner, a 15 year old boy, was brought in drunk at an early hour yes
 terday morning by Officer McNiff He
 had in his possession half pint rail roader" containing liquor. In court he told straight story and the case against
 him was continued in order to let Prose- cutting Agent Colley take him in hand and prepare a case against the dealer who furnished the boy with whiskey. Yesterday afternoon Attorne, Thomas Donahue, who was retained as counsel by the saloon keeper received a visit from Corner and man named North rop, who was with him when the liquor was bought. Corner declared before witnesses that he had never been in Fla gan's saloon, and Northrop, who is over 2l years of age, said that the liquor was
 bought by him.
 Incourt this morning the boy swore that he was in the saloon three times Wednesday evening and received beer 1 or whiskey each time. Attorney Dona-
 hue saw the witness had been tempered
 with and dropped him like hot potato Northrop was relied upon to right mat ters and was called upon as witness by the defense. He went back upon the story told to NIr Donahue. without any
 coaching, yesterday afternoon and
 swore that Corner bought the liquor. The court could do nothing but find the accused guilty on three counts. An ap- peal was taken.

Particles in the Eve.

Every mother knows how often little ones get something in the eye. Take hold of the lashes of the upper lid with the left hand, and pressing the dull point of pencil against the middle of the lid turn it upward; then remove tho sub stance with a camers hair brush or the corner of soft handkerchief.

the Home stretch.
 The attendance at the race last even ing was not as large as the night prev ious, yet it was a good sized audience that witnessed the progress of the weary pedestrians around the track. The men hold the same relative position as the night previous with the exception that Hegelman has increased his lead over Davis and ConnOrs was slowly encroach- ing on Davis territory, while Adams, who had performed his best days work, was narrowing the distance between himself and Horan. Old man Taylor in- creased his lead on Bison by over II miles and is trying hard for place. Davis is gradually feeling the effects of the work compelled to do in order to re- tain his position in second place, and it is probable Connors will wrest that position from him before still of humorous disposition, but is still remains on the track although at the tail end, and his only hope now is to complete his 250 miles and secure his en- trance money. Smith, the cowboy, was compelled to retire from the track on ac- count of his ailment, but will come on again Saturday night for an exhibition run. Nolan still sticks, but will hardly secure place. George Cartwright again gave a good exhibition of an hours racing and demonstrated the fact that he is a powerful runner. He says that young Connors can run twenty miles in two hours and is willing to back him to that effect. Horan is still placing good record to his credit and seems not to care for the other pedestrians, but plods along piling up the miles and will possibly make a place. The score at midnight was Davis, 26s miles, If laps Hegelman, 273 miles, is laps; Taylor, 226 miles Smith, 176 miles, 12 laps Connors, ,254 miles, 13 laps Nolan, 22O miles Elson, 21S miles, 3 laps; Horan, PAS miles, 12 laps Adams, 244 miles, IA laps; Hine, 192 miles.

Dickens Name.

Discoveries of what has been already discovered are not infrequent. One of the latest cases in point is that of Mir. Kitton, the high priest of English Dick ems worship. MT. Kitton declares "it is not generally known that the name of Charles was entered in the baptismal register of St. Mary's (the parish church of Portsea) as Charles John Huffman Dickens" If it is not generally known, it is not the fault of the great novelists biographers. Dickens dropped the John Huffhan early, despite the fact that it was the name of his fathers old friend. Boston Transcript.

Miss Akerstrom and her selected com pany pleased another large audience at the opera house last evening, appearing in Viola, the Street Singer This eve ming Miss Akerstrom's new play Little Gretchen will be presented in this city for the first time. Speaking of the play an exchange says: From the time the curtain rose on the first act, which de- picts Gretchen loving beyond her sta tion. until it drops on the last act, the death of Gretchen heart broken, the au- dience remained as if rooted to their seats, so completely wrapped up in the realistic acting before them and few dry eyes could be counted during the last scene
