A WICKED STUDENTS TRICK.

The Gootiiy Policemen of Boston Chase .
Barbcr's Pole aud Its Owners.
Not q great while ago a party Of
half dozen Harvard students were in
a BARRIERS shop in this city, and after
having been bcautificd and adorned
tonsorially, one OF tho number WINS
struck with an idea. Il was commu.
nicatcd TO his companions. and with
out dissenting voice agreed TO. The
proposition was nothing less than 10
purchase the BARRIERS pole. which was
done. and a receipt taken. Then the
young men sailed forth with their
striped and parti-colorcd acquisition.
They had not conc far. however. when
they were ovcrhaulcd by policeman.
Hello, there! what arc you doing
with that pole"
That's our business.
Your business. chi Well. I'll
make il mine. Come along with me Il"
They were marched straight 10 the
nearest station. and stood up in line
before the captain.
Whats the trouble. oiIiccrl" asked
the captain.
Stealing a BARRIERS pole"
The officer felt quite proud of his
capture and related with particularly
ali the circumstances OF his arrest.
The captain looked upon the offenders
and was about TO order them TO be
locked up for the night, when one Of
the students produced a paper and sdg-
gested that perhaps the captain might
like 10 look at that. The captain
looked ut it, Then turning TO the po-
liccman he said: Officer. you may
return to your beat" 4 moment lat
err the students might have been seen
filing out Of the station with their ton.
serial standard held proudly aloft.
They had not gone far. however,
before they were again brought 10 q
halt by another officer. who. like his
predecessor, wanted TO know where
they were going with that pole. lie
was informed that that was their bust
ness. and he in turn assured them that
he would make it his business. which
he did by cscoring them 10 the self
same station they had just quilted.
What's the trouble. oiliccrt"
These fellows have stole BARRIERS
pole, and
Very we'll; you may return "a your
beat"
The captain smiled MS he dismissed
the students. Hardly had he resumed
his won,ed gravity Of aspect before
the door opened and again entered a
policeman, six young men and u bar
bcr's pole.
And so il went on. Six several
times were the students and their bar
berous property brought By as many
different policemen into that station,
and had not an officer been specially
sent out TO warn all patrolmen under
no circumstances 10 interfere with six
young men and BARRIERS pole. it ID
more than likely that that pole and its
bearers would have been brought into
that station as many times that night
us there were patmlmcn in the dis
trict.
People who wondered what was the
cause Of tho hilarious laughter which
proceeded from the usually grave and
quiet station. on the night in question,
arc now fully informed Of the same. -

Baltimore's Big Event.

All the indications point to u cclcbra
tion in connection with the State fair M
PimlicO in September, which will surpass
any prev iOus event Of the kind in this city
The experience gained M the Scsqui.ccn
tcnnial aud Oiiolc celebrations will
doubtless enable the managers Ia greatly
improve upon those undertakings. and
the work already accomplished affords II
substantial guarantee Of the successful
consumaiion Of a programme which EN-.
braces number Of novel and exception.
ally attractive features. The event is an
u scale of magnitude and possesses fea.
lures Of interest which will no doubt ex.
cite feeling al envy on the part of some
Of the ncighboring cities which have
attempted similar celebrations. The
cooperation of the War Department has
been secured in the military feature ~ the
programme, which will include spcclacn-
lar representations of the bombardmcnt Of
Fort McIIenry and the hattie of North
Point. The anniversaries of both events
occur during exposition week, and the
0bscrvances arranged for will he ola char.
actcr to lend a patriotic flavor to the cclc
bra,ion, besides providing displays Of I'M
usual magnitude and interest.
Al the fair grounds many interesting
features will I've presented in addition to
the ordinary attractions Of an agricultural
exposition. The exhibition building nj
Pimlico. which is rapidly approaching
completion, will provide ample accommo.
dalions for the exhibits which are ex.
pected from all parts Of the State, and all
the arran gemcIts at the fair ground will
be on liberal scale. The whole affair has
been carefully planned. and may he ex.
pec,c,i Ia prove u notable event in the
city.
