Monday morning in the law Office of Le-

Another Financia, Statement.

In the Western association it is given
out that Minneapolis, Denver and Omahs
are the winners on the season. The Mime.
oils team has cleared $4,000, Omaha $4,000
and Denver leads, having balance on the
right side Of the ledger Of 1000, which
is due to the advanced prices of admission
charged in that city, IS and 40 cents being
necessary for admission on Denver's
grounds. Milwaukee and Sioux City
broke even; St. Paul realized $4,000 from
the sale Of Pickett and Sowders, and
though the cranks resented their sale by
deserving the gate, the st. Paul magnates
pulled out even on the season. Dies
Moines and st. Joseph lost respectively
$4,000 and $4,000, both being poor bali
towns and having Indifferent teams. St.
Joseph will be out Of the circuit next sea-
son-this is decisive-and both Oshkosh
and Peoria are anxious to fill the vacancy.
The directors Of the association will decide
who will be the lucky town at their annual
meeting.

In town in France an odd fact came
to light at the registration of the birth
of child. The happy father was
asked the maiden name of his wife, to
which he answered: "Rose B." "Well,
how do you spell it? Bee, By, Bey, or
how?" Gust simply B." "That can
not be, B is only an initial, not name. :"
"It is the only name my wife ever had
until she married me. Neither she nor
any Of her family have ever had any
other name than just B, neither more
nor less. They could hardly have had
less, and an examination of the record
showed that they had really never had
more. Beyond doubt the B family
bears the shortest name in France, per-
haps in the world. Only one other
name of equal brevity is known, and
that is the name of q place. About
fifteen miles from Peronne, on the Ham
line, there is a commune known as Y.
It has some two hundred Inhabitants.
The origin Of the name Y is unknown,
and it would be curious to investigate
the origin of the patronymic of the B

One of the Tricks of shrewd Beggars

If some of the people who make
living by begging would turn their wits
in other channels they would, perhaps,
soon become prosperous. The skilful
and successful beggar seems to be q
man OF not few ideas, for the warm
competition in his business compels
him to keep up with the times. He is
constantly casting about for some new
scheme which he may put in operation
in order to work upon the generosity of
men. There are something peculiarly
insolent and reckless about most pro-
fessional beggars. They seem to think
that man will respond to a call for aid
if they show ingenuity in the manner of
approaching him. Many of them after
taking mans money do not hesitate to
show certain air Of contempt for him,
while not infrequently they pour forth
a torrent Of abuse if they are repulsed.
If you stop one of these wretches, after
giving him ten cents, and ask him if his
story is true, it is likely that he will
tell you he lied to you. He seems to
take pleasure in letting you know that
he is shrewd enough to deceive people.
One of the most recent schemes no
ticed by the writer is that of rather a
decent looking fellow who goes up to a
man and tells him with apparent frank
ness that lie has just been released from
prison after having served sentence
for forgery. If he can hold his victims
attention long enough he explains the
circumstances Of his crime, conviction
and punishment. These stories vary
greatly. No doubt the fellow fashions
them to fit the case in hand. There is,
he will say, such prejudice against
forger that he finds it impossible to get
anything to do, although he is an ex-
perienced accountant or good book
keeper. While the man thus approached
may be unwilling himself to trust
convicted forger, he feels some respon-
sibility in fatty refusing to assist a man
who declares that he is struggling to
keep from drifting back into his old
habits in spite of the strong current OF
distrustful public opinion. Although
by no means convinced OF the truth of
the mans story, he feels inclined to run
the risk of being imposed upon, ana
often ends by giving him quarter.
The men who play such games as this
realize fully the position they hold, and
this, perhaps, is why they are so per-
sistent in their efforts to make man
hear their story. That done, more
than half the battle is over--Ne'o
York Tribune. ...

Mr.. GLADSTONE says he we'll remem-
bers the old Duke Of Cumberland, who
was famous for his habit of garnishing
other peoples remarks with his own
oaths. When the first bill for the abo.
lition of church rates came before the
House of Lords the Duke was asked to
express to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury the wish Of the majority that he
should move it's rejection. OFF went
the Duke with this commission. Pres
emily he returned, and in loud voice,
for he was rather deaf, exclaimed: "The
Archbishop says he will be devoted to
everlasting fire if he does not work the
rejection of the bill" It need scarcely
to be said that the language which his
Grace of Cumberland protested to
quote from his Grace of Canterbury has
been somewhat softened.
