SOME PoL1rEN Ess DOESN'T PAY

rotary Discovers in Grand Street.

rotary Discovers in Grand Street.
From the Ne,o YorE; Herald
Politeness is a dangerous experiment at
times in some parts of New York. 1t is q
good deal safer to keep silence than to be
courteous.
l saw an instance in point on Grand street
the other day. Walking east past the
Bowery were two girls. One had her arms
full of bundles and the othsr, a slight, pale
faced lit le thing, with arms not much
thicker than clothes pins, was Juggling big
valiSe. She could barely stagger along with
her load. Coming behind to the two girls
was a well-dressed, modest-looking young
man, in whom recognized the secretary of
prominent Sunday school. He is a real
nice young man, VINO wouldn't take advan-
tage Of a sick kitten. The sight of the weak
little woman with the tremendous valise
evidently touched his sympathies, and after
looking compasionately at her for a few
nome is he stepped alongside and said:-.
pardon me, miss, but that bag seems to
be very heavy you. | am going your
way across Grand streat, and if you will
per nit me l will carry it,"
Quick as flash and before the polite offer
was we'll out of the you * mans mouth the
thin, pale faced girl turned sharply upon
him and cried:-
"Gwon, you dirty duhde, tisn't the likes
Of you I'd be after asking to carry my
grip"
The young woman with the bundle added
some other forcible remarks, and, turning,
beckoned down the street. At the same
moment two typical lst side toughs, who
were evidently the escort of the girls, but
had been lounging around some distance
behind, came hurrying up. Without stop
ping to ask what the trouble was, one of
the toughs hit the good young man a sting
ing blow between the eyes that ssnt him
sprawling in the gutter. The good young
man had just regalned his feet in dazed
sort of way when heavy hand fell on his
shoulder, and the voice Of a Grand street
policeman roared:
Come on now! come on now, or I'll run
you in, We masking blackguardp The gocd
YOU man attempted t. explain, bat the
policeman hustled him off down the street
without ceremony. On the way hey met a
man of influence in the ward, who happened
to know the young Sunday school secretary,
and he got the policemal t. release him
Meantime the toughs and their girls had
disappeared down a side street, the thin,
pale-faced girl still laboring under the ire
mendous valise, while the escort slouchod

HARD ON BALD HEADS.
What a Baltimore Physician Says
About Them.
Erom the Baltintore Herqld

From the Baltimore Herald.
Since times immemorial there have been
bald-headed men, and photographers have
written good, bad or Indifferent Jokes about
them, and stage comedians have said things
at their expense which were meant to be
funny without, however, making any seri-
Gus inroads upon the fashion of W. airing
ones hair very short. Gentlemen with
shining pates are the objects of much per-
secution, although punishment does not
always overtake the persecut )rs so swiftly
and surely as on a certain occasion several
thousand years ago, when number of
bad boys were torn to pieces by bears
because they were lacking in respect to-
ward Elijah the prophet. And now ply
stefan comes forward and makes the sweep
ing and unqualified statement that bald
Medicines is an indie alton of meanness. II
Is difficult to see what affinity there is be-
tween lick of hirsute adornment and mar
rowness of soul, yet the disciple Of Escula-
p us in question aims to have observed
that such is fact aud that one needn't go
serves al the more consideration aud atte3-
ton as il comes from one Of Baltimore's
best known physicians, one who has had
ample opportunity to make quite study of
the matter, and whose Office is not very far
from the new postoffics.
Assuming that the statement is founded
on fact how Is this to be accounted forg 1t
is hardly to be thought of that there is so
much more latent wickedness in the COM
position of the man VIII 3se do ne of thought
is UNPROTECTED than in that of the average
individual, and. besides, il is so compile ely
at variance WITH the popular idea. Bald
headed men have always been regarded as
the Incarnation Of good nature aud benevo-
lenco No artist ever painted a picture

SOME NEW FACTS
About the Attempted Murder and Suicid,
of Charles Nelte.


of Charles Nelte.
One of the administrators of the pro-
perty OF Charles Velte was at the police
headquarters, inquiring after Velte' :
watch. He says that it can not be
found, and that neither the under
takers nor the coroner has il.
The watCn was noticed by several
witnesses, at the time Of the suicide, in
Nelte's vest pocket. What has become
of IL IS a mystery.
Mrs. Nelte is able to st up, and has
been removed 10 the house of her
brother, Vim. Nelte, on Straight street.
She says that she was no party to the
awful crime of her son, and that she
signed the letters that he sent to the
papers, believing them TO be state
mnts of their household goods made
ont for the purpose of getting insur-
ance. That Is what Charles told her
the papers were. This throws an
entirely different hight on the terrible
affair
