COST OF PRIVATE CARS.

"Many extravagant stories are
in circulation," said George w.
Allen, 'sas to the cost of private
cars, such as are used by railroad
magnates, opera ssngers, imported
actors and millionaires, and l have
often heard it stated that an
average Pullman palace car Is
worth 100000. Stories are printed
about cars costing all the way from
100000 to 100000. The fact of
the matter is that palace car
costs about $4,000 complete.
The makeup of all cars, regular
or special, is about the same. Ad-
ditional cost is brought about by
the internal decoration, and that
must necessarily be limited. l
.doutbt if there was ever car con-
structed that cost more than $35,
600. To exceed that figure would
require "a decoration exclusively
in jewels and the pecious metals"

ONE BREECH OF PROMISE CASE.

A very curious breach of prom
ise of marriage case, and one in
what is called ''high life," is re-
ported from London. The rich
and titled defendant was engaged
to young lady, daughter of a
minister, but he behaved so wild
ly and strangely that the young
lady's parents, after obtaining
medical advice that his sanity was
affected, wrote him letter with
drawing their consent to his mar
riage with their daughter. He
acknowledged and accepted the
release, married another lady
shortly afterward, and has since
exhibited no signs of mental de-
rangement. The young lady sues
him for breech of promise on the
ground that his release was Oh
tanned by false pretenses.

THE MIDNIGHT CRY.

The young man stood at the parlor door,
And nice young man was he;
Her father was up on the second floor,
And he weighed l03.
The house was filled with a solemn hush,
And the young mans heart with bliss
O'erfowed as the maid, with modest blush
Vouchsafed him goodnight kiss.
Then heavily down from the second floor
Came pas sarcastic voice,
And cold sweat poured through every pore
Of his dearest daughter s choice.
For the old man said, 'You tell that dude
To put on his hat and flee,
For when I'm excited I'm sometimes rude,
And I weigh 203.''
The young man waited to hear no mere;
He picked up his hat and fed,
And the father remained on the second
hoer,
And his daughter went to bed.

A Queer Find.

John Hastings tried to look
pleasant when Mr.. Chesley, his
employer, askek him to watch the
jewelry store that night, because
the night watchman was sick.
You see, John had promised to
take Marian Hinton to concert
that evening, young lady whom
he looked forward to making his
wife some day. However, he saw
no way to escape the duty, and
after the clerks had gone away he
lay down on sofa in the Office
and fell asleep.
His dreams were rudely broken
by feeling a hand at his throat, and
a handkerchief impregnated with
camphor pressed against his nos
trils. He struggled to his feet,
and a hand-to hand encounter
with the burglar insued. Then he
was struck down, and knew no
more until he saw Mr.. Chesley
and some Of the clerks surrounding
him. He was only little bruised
by the encounter of the night.
At least the thief had been
frightened away, and while he had
taken nothing, had left a little bag
of diamonds on the floor when he
fled. ...
II guess this belongs to you,
John. as there doesn't seem to be
any other claimant" said old Mr..
Chesley.
But, alas! they were all pro-
nouneed to be paste, and Johns
momentary riches took to them
selves wings and flew away after
the quite to usual fashion.
He laughingly dubbed them the
crown jewels, and poured them
all into Marian's lap, with the re-
mark that as such they should re-
main in the custody Of the
queen.
That demure little woman went
into ecstacies over 'sthe pretty
Jewels" There was just touch
of romance, too, in having young
hero, who had fought with robbers,
come and lay his spoils at her feet,
even if those spoils were only
paste diamonds. One OF the imi-
tation gems was of great size and
beauty. Sharply cut, of a light
lanary-yellow color and utterly
without blemish. it was as pure as
a ray of sunlight, but much more
substantial, as it weighed a matter
Of 13O carats.
"I'll be hanged if shouldn't be
lieve that to be genuine, if it was
only a little smaller" said old Mr..
Chesley, as he held it up to the
light. ''But if there ever was a
pure diamond of that size no one
but an Eastern despot could afford
to own it,
John had it set in a plain gold
pin for Marian to wear in her hair
and christened it the s.Koh-i-nor.' y
"Oh, how lovely!" exclaimed all
her admiring friends, when she ap.
peared with it shining amid her
rich brown tresses. "What pity
| 1t isn't real diamond" But al
the same time they rejoiced ex,
ceedingly i'm the depths of their
envious little souls that it wasn't
"a real diamond"
| The summer came, and the Koh-

i-nor still flashed in the hair Of its
queenly little owner, but no more
definite understanding was estab
lished between the donor and the
wearer of the jewel. Jones still
skirmished about the field OF
action, and by making sudden
drshes within Johns line of defense
would carry off Marian as a prize
to occasional parties and sociables.
One morning Hastings came
down to the store with the Kohl
nor in his hand. 1t had fallen
upon the ballroom floor the pre-
ceding evening, and some one had
stepped upon and crushed the
setting. On the threshold he met
Mr.. Kurtz, the junior partner and
diamond expert, who represented
the "Co." portion of the firm name.
and who had just returned from a
year of travel and study OF the
great gem collections of Europe.
"What have you there?" asked
Mr.. Kurtz, as in shaking hands
his eye caught the glitter of the
Koh-i-nor.
"Nothing but a big paste dia-
mond," replied John, handing it
over for inspection.
"The duce it isr' said the expert
as he turned it in the light. sI'll
risk my reputation on its genuine
ness. It's worth 100000 if it's
worth cent? And the sequel
proved the accuracy of his judge
ment.
II shall do nothing of the kindi''
protested Marian, when John tried
to make her take back the now
almost priceless jewel. ~ should
be no. better than a swindler Oh
tanning money under false pre-
lenses. You did not mean to give
me 100000 when you tossed what
was supposed to be a worthless
bauble into my lap"
In vain Hastings urged it upon
her, said he should have given it
to her just the same if he had
known it to be worth a million,
and that it was hers by right OF
possession, since she had worn it
nearly a year. The only sign of
relenting which he could get was
the suggestion, with sly smile,
that eve might share it between
u.s."
mot if the court knows itself" /"
said John, as his arm slipped
around a slender waist in his i'm
mediate vicinity, without meeting
any determined resistance II
suppose l shall have to keep it,
since you say it's mine; but Tll
carry my point yet. Pm going to
turn it into cash, and devote all
the proceeds to supporting a little
wife," And there being no dis
seating voice, the motion was car
ried unanimously.
