The Prince Of Detectives.

Inspector Byrnes is rather hand
some man, although he wears his black
derby little too low on his forehead
and keeps his hands in his overcoat
pockets. Those who have got their
imaginations of the typical sleuth
hound from the dime novel would not
take the Insp sctor for the leading de-
tective of America He does not 20

Fearful Prevalence of a Habit Worse Than
That of Drunkard.
In almost any village of Guzerat, if
not in all, you may see among the Hin
docs the listless, apathetic manner and
dull, sleepy eye of the opium-eater.
Anywhere there it is only necessary to
ask for little kasumba to be offered il
on all sides. The mode of making
that drink is not pleasant to see. A
little crude opium is produced and
placed on a small ball of raw cotton.
he maker holds this in the palm of
bis hand and pours little water on it.
He kneads the opium into the wet COT
ton and goes on pouring water till the
cotton is saturated with brown fluid.
lie then .squeezes it out as from a
sponge into the palm of his hand, and
you are invited to sit on the ground
while he pours the dirty stuff into
your mouth from a still dirtier hand.
The opium-eater is always dirty. These
people ask but little food. Opium
eaters have no appetite. They will
work just as much as they are COM
peeled to do in order to procure their
drug: Ask them why their fields are
uncultivated or half-tilled and they
say: Look at the labor we should
have to undertake." They listlessly
drag one foot after another, silent and
half asleep. In one village the reply
given to an inquirer, who asked if the
people were we'll off, was: How could
we be when opium is SO dearp" No
wonder the active little Mahrattas
walked through this country. Accord
lug to the London Globe, more than
half the outlawry of the province is
due to opium smuggling. Where the
cultivators have managed to keep to
a certain extent free from the opium
aend they are invariably we'll of.

THE OPERATORS BRIDE.

He stood before his lady love,
An operator he,
1he owner OF a goodly mine;
child of fashion she.
Upon his cheek an honest flush
Uprose. or love he spoke.
Her face showed the responsive blusa
AS into speech he broke:
"Be mine," he said, in tender tones
my love I do not reign;
Each drop OF blood I have is yours,
Each drop in every vein!"
As turns the flower unto the sun,
Slowly she raised her head;
In gentle tones she made response,
And this was what she said:
"Dear Sir, I'm very fond of you,
But do not speak, pray,
About the blood that's in your veins;
TO WOO that's not the way.
SITS not the veins with dancing blood
Your big proportions boast
Though doubt not they're very fine
Which interest me most.
I'm but a modest, modern maid
With realistic views,
And if your hand should accept,
Or all your love refuse,
''Depends upon another thing;
1t does, upon my soul;
The veins I'm interested in
Are just your veins of coall
IF they're all right you've conquered me;
You need not be afraid;
This is the age Of common sense
And I'm q modern maid I"
The operator swore his veins
OF coal were deep and wide,
And thus he won his suit, AID now
The modern maids q bride.

THE DESERTED BRIDE.
What Rev. DIR. Addison Says Of the Mar
riage of Mrs. Vernon p. Clayton.

Mrs. Vernon P. Clayton, the young wife who
was abandoned in New York by her husband,
as heretofore published in The STAR, is a
Washington girl and was married in this city
about week ago. There was something un-
usual about the marriage that attracted
especial attention.
Rev. DR.. Addison, rector of Trinity P.E.)
church, was sitting in his parlor one afternoon
when two young men appeared, each accom-
panied by young woman. They had two mar
rage licenses and wanted to get married. The
young man who presented himself as Vernon
p. Clayton was good-looking young man, while
the lady Of his choice was also handsome. Her
name was given as Miss Frances Maspero. The
men were half brothers, they said, and the
young women claimed to be sisters. Vernon
P. Clayton and Frances Maspero and James
Richardson and Marie Maspero were thereupon
married. They were all of age and there was
nothing to prevent their union. Clayton told
DIR. Addison that he was a member of the ma
rine corps. He wore an officers undress coat
during the marriage service. DR.. Addison said
that Clayton's appearance was that Of gentle
man and he never imagined he could be such q
scamp as he had turned out to be. He had
learned since the marriage that Clayton had
served in the marine corps, but not under the
name OF Clayton.

A COAST SURVEY SCANDAL.
Charges of Corruption Against b. A.
ColOnna-He Denies and Explains.

Mr.. Howard J. Schneider, a draughtsman
formerly employed in the coast survey Office,
has written letter to the Secretary of the
Treasury charging corruption in Office on the
part of B. A. Colonna, assistant in charge Of
the bureau, and E. H. Fowler, draughtsman.
He charges that he had to contribute money to
Colonna and make present to Fowler in order
to keep his place in the bureau. He says he
did work for the Boston and Maine railway
company, for which S2O4 was paid by the
treasurer of the company, and that of that
sum Colonna received $50. Other speciica-
tions are similar in character.
Mr.. Colonna denies the charges He says
work done for outside parties has to be paid
for. An estimate is made Of the cost and de-
post OF the amount required. The sums, he
says deducted asin the cases cited by Schneider,
were the differences between the actual cost of
the work and the estimates, which were greater,
and the money SO deducted was returned to the
parties making the excessive payment.

HOW ELECTRICITY KILLED HIM.
Ferry Lived Forty Minutes After Receive
ing a Two-ThOusand-VOlt Shock.

Buffalo special to the New York Herald
says: Coroner Haberstro yesterday completed
his inquest in the case of Hugh Ferry, who was
killed last Thursday by electricity. Superin-
tendent Humphrey testified that Terry received
shock of 1000 volts. He lived forty minutes
afterward, and was some time on the wires
until the firemen cut them and took him down
In handling the wire with his pliers Ferry had
received slight shock from the uninsulated
end OF the pliers. He caught the other wire,
which was the other pole of the dynamo, close
to the insulator, where it was tied and where
the covering may have been broken through
by the wire. He then completed the circuit
and received the full force of the machine
Fireman Lawler testified that Ferry suffered
horrible fortunes, though he lived forty
minutes after having 1900 volts go through
bis body for three-quarters of an hour At
nrst Ferry screamed, but afterward he only
twitched. His pliers were not properly insu-
lated.
