tor of the City hotel, has missed soap from
the gentlemen's toilet room. Several cakes
would be placed in the room in the morning
and disappear by night. Yesterday MIR.
Sweet told the row-boys that any one OF
them should receive dollar who caught the
thief. About an hour afterwards one of the
row-boys missed one of the cakes of soap.
Only two persons had been in the room in
the meantime, and they were just going out
of the hotel door. The boy called them back
and told one Of them Mr.. Sweet wanted to
see him. When Mr.. Sweet stepped into the
office the boy told him that the stranger had
the soap. At first the man denied the charge
but afterwards said the other man put a
cake in his pocket for fun, and, handed over
the soap. The mans companion declared he
didn't do anything of the kind. When the
police appeared the man acknowledged he
took the soap but said he did it in fun. He
