Busting a Coincidence.

A woman yesterday stood at the
writing desk in the corridor of the
pOstoffice with II pen in her hand and
a postal card before her. She was
thinking deeply when a man APP
preached with a postal card III his
hand. looked in vain for a pen, and
finally said:
madame, are you going to use
that pen for the next five minntes?'
Yes. sir" she replied. 81 am just
going to write to my husband.
.'And am just going to write to my
wife. Curious coincidence, ehP'
.'I don't know about that. My hus-
band ran away, and have just got his
address and was wondering whether
1 should tell him to stay or ask him
to Come home"
by George, madam. but how SIN
gular! MY wife also skipped out. and
/ was wondering what to say to her.
We are in the same boat. Shall we
write, Come home, darling or i
never want to see your face again.?
What a curious coincidencem
Eyes, l think it isl" remarked a wo-
man who came up behind him. Try
ing to make a mash. are you! Come
home with me or I'll pull all the hair
out of your head and scratch that wo-
mans eyes QUIT"
He went humbly along in tow, and
a newsboy who sat on the window
sill looked after the pair and sOlilo-
quized:
That's what ] call busting a coin

same time. Better write for your dar-

A HypOorltical Ola Pnferer.

An extraordinary scene was enacted
Yesterday in the Church of Saint-Ger-
main PAuxerrois during the capture
of female pilferer by private detec-
tive. The offender, who was an unctu-
Gus elderly person. had been surprised
in Diapers shop just as she was en-
gagged in annexing various articles. of
ha6erdashery. Accordingly. she re-
treated quickly from the establishment,
and, closely followed by the detective.
took refuge in the church, where she
threw herself on her knees and began
to turn her eyes mp to the roof in fer
vent prayer. The detective, however,
was sure of his woman and ordered
her to get up and follow him, where
upon she shouted Justify for help and
used some extremely realistic language
to the effect that "a wretch wanted to
take advantage of heri" The sacred
edifice rang with shrieks, and the
beadle of the church, armed with his
long halberd. the sacristan, the bell
ringer, and various other persons con-
nected with the house of prayer rushed
to the rescue. Some of the congrega-
ton who were attending the service
also turned upon the detective. He
was allowed. however, after due ex-
PLANTATION, to take the hypocritical old
pilferer away.-PzFts Dfspetch TO Lon

A Sensational Story Concerning the
Cronln Case.

NEW YORK, May IA Washing
ton special to the Herald says: The
sending Of the English flagship, Swift
sure, and the Amphion to Sitka, with
orders to cruise in Behring sea, has
caused quite stir in official circles
here. The treasury department las
time and again called the attention
of the government To the fact that
ships dying the English flag are en-
gagged in illicit sealing in Behring sea.
In most cases these vessels are we'll
armed, and our revenue cutters which
carry only howitZeTs are no match for
them. The government has decided
that its interests in Alaska shall be
protected. The United States steam
er Adams, which was under sailing
orders for Honlulu. expected to leave
ON tuesday, but a telegram has been
sent 10 the commandant oil the Mare
Island navy yard To detain her. She
will go north IN company with the lro-
quois, and both vessels will leave
early in the week for Sitka.
The state department has decided
that Behring sea is "A mare clausum.
and intends to assert dominion over
the whole north Pacific within the
limit defined by our treaty with Rus

Alaska has long been a complicated
question, and If, as appears, the Eng

~ far as depredationso of the seal fishing
is concerned. Our government takes
the ground that When We acquired
Alaska by purchase la 1867, we also
acquired all it's vested rights, one of
which WAS Behriug sea. This queS-
tiou was settled in 1929, when
England attempted the same tactics
she is now engaged in. Russia showed
fight. and sent large fleet to these
waters To uphold her position. Tile
question WAS finally settled by an ar
bitration against England. Secretary
Blaine is determined i'll this matter.
lie maintains that we have exclusive
dominion over all that part OF the Pa
ciilc Ocean, known as Behring sea,
excepting such as lies east of the
treaty line, DoruEring on the SIBERIAN
coas'. The matter has been discussed
in capinet, and the determination of
the administration is To enforce all our
rights in the matter. If England per-
sists in sending ships of war TO protect
the Canadian vessels in taking these
young seals, this government will take
vigorous measures To stop il. The
first conflict of authocity within this

to arbitration as was done with Russia
