Arrested for Fraud.

For q week past a well-dressed stranger has
been making a tour of the Ohio valley cities,
representing himself as Edward Morris. secre-
tary of the Standard oil works. He was ac-
companied by private secretary and created
much excitement among real estate owners and
business men by announcing that twelve or
fi.teen-acre tracts would be bought in Wheel
ing, Steubenville, Bellaire and elsewhere; large
rehneries, tankage of great capacity, &C.,
erected and extensive pipe lines laid. Options
were taken on eligible land. attorneys employed
to examine deeds, &c. Morris and R. F. Rob
erts. his secretary, were meanwhile feted by
business men and had the pick of the good
things of life generally. Yesterday the couple
were sized up as swindlers and now both are in
Jail at Steubenville. Ohio, on charges of fraud.
Morris made a confession, saying his real name
is F. Trogle and that he is the son of Lebanon
pa manufacturer, but Roberts says his real
name is Duncan Bruce

81 NOTE THE RESULT: -

THE STAR HAS MORE THAN
THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR
and MORE THAN
FIVE TIMES As MANY REGULAR
READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY
PAPER IN WASHINGTON. IL Is de-
livered regularly by careful carriers nc
the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER
THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE
CAY ARE OVER, and IL is thus read
leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY
MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.
They know that it prints all the news,
and has only the interests Of the people
of the District I'm view, with no partisan
measures to advocate, and no private
schemes to forward. They know IL, I'm
short, to be THE PEOPLES PAPER,
and nothing else. As an ADVERTISING
MEDIUM IL is, therefore, ABSo-
LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. IL is
i'm fact worth more as a means OF reach
ing the public THAN ALL THE
OTHER DAILY PAPERS In THE
CITY TOGETHER.
Furthermore, I'm proportion to the re-
turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER-
Using RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST
In THE CITY.

a Successful Fishing Fleet.

The schooner Landseer, the first to return Of
the Iceland fishing feet, arrived at Gloucester,
Mass, yesterday, bringing $4,000 pounds of
fetched halibut. The summer on the Icelandic
coast was the finest ever experienced. Halibut
was plentiful in May and June, but Goldfish and
ling were scarce and the French Norwegian
and English vessels had done poorly. Two
Danish war vessels were about the coast to see
that no law was violated and that the crews of
fishing vessels committed no misdemeanor.
The native fishermen are quite comfortable,
no restitution prevailing. American vessels
were not permitted to land, fish or store with
out paying for it. The others Of the American
fleet are doing well. Schooner Ben Hur from
Grand Banks yesterday brings 200, 900 pounds
of Goldfish. Capt. Thoborn reports that Thos
Thompson OF Sable river, Ms, and Jno. Fa-
gan Of st. Mary's bay, Ms, were lost by the
capsizing OF a dory while attending travis.

Now She's q Citizen.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Amelia Taubles, bright little Bohemian
woman Of twenty-four, asked Judge Levy yes
terday to make her a citizen of the United
States. II am going abroad in q few days"
she explained, land want to show the people Of
Europe that my adopted country protects its
women as well as its men. Then, / think that
having naturalization papers will be of great
service in the countries where the laws and
customs are not near SO liberal % they are in
the United States"
Miss Taubles, who is q very pretty woman,
responded to the usual questions with an intel
ligence not possessed by four-ffths of the male
applicants. She knew the provisions of the
Constitution, all its amendments and purposes,
and repeated greater portion Of the Declara-
ton OF Independence in a manner which would
make most men skeptical about their own
patriotism. She also knew the rights and
privileges conferred by her papers, and Judge
Levy had no hesitation in awarding them.
II am sorry" said the court that cannot
confer upon you the right to vote, for you would
make much better citizen in every way than
most of them"
"Ah, that will come later" said the lady with
confident smile. ~ don't seek that right,
you know" she assured the court, land am
entirely satisfied with the protection Of my
adopted country"

A PANIC AMONG THE LIBERALS.
Balfour's Irish University Bill and Par
nell's Acceptance Alarms Them.

Mr.. Balfour's promise to bring in bill for
the endowment of an Irish Catholic university
coupled with Mr. Parnell's immediate accept
amongst the liberal leaders, who see that this
new departure Of the tory government means
the disruption of their party. 1t is certain that
Mr.. Parnell has reached some SOFT of an under
standing with Lord salsbury's government,
and it is even stated that the Parnellites will
support the tory premier at the next election in
return for concessions which will practically
amount to home rule and land law, which
will quite effectually throw the landlords in
Ireland overheard This change of front on
the part Of Lord Salisbury is certain to lose
him the support Of the Ulster men,
bers, but he will probably carry with
MIN all but very few of the con-
sentative members and unionists, while the
addition to his forces Of the solid Parnellite
contingent and OF such liberals as care more for
nome rule than for the means of attaining it
will undoubtedly increase his voting strength
materially, notwithstanding the detection of the
Protestant Irlshmen and few anti Catholic
tories.
All Of the details Of the agreement entered
into between Mr.. Parnen and those whom he
mas OF late SO bitterly opposed are not as yet
speculation. The liberal leaders held a meet
ing yesterday, at which Sir William Vernon
Harcourt made q speech congratulatlng the
liberal party upon having successfully prose-
iyted the tory government Few OF his associ-
ates, however, shared Sir Williams cheerful
pies now supported by the tories is not little
tempered by the certainty that this support
will keep the tories in power indefinitely aud

Piling on the Agony.

From the Boston Transcript
On one of the mountain trains the other day,
just when its weary cargo of belated vacation
lists had come in sight of the cleaning waters
of Lake Winnipisaukee, freckle-faced, fifteen
year-old boy with basket on his arm came on
board at a small station.
Spruce gum?' Spruce gum? he called out,
with querulous, impairment little interroga-
tive quirk at the end OF the word gum"
Spruce gum? ten cents a package"
A couple of gigglng young women bought a
package; but a middle-aged and sour-visaged
woman who sat in seat behind them looked
shocked beyond expression that anything SO
vulgar as spruce gum should be offered for sale
on the cars.
''Noi" shouted the woman, and she scowled
ferociously at the boy he paused with his
basket.
Tell We what t is, ma'am," said he, bending
over the seat little, but piping the words out
SO that all in the car could hear him. Tn give
it to ye already started an only charge ye the
ten centst'
And then everybody in the car thought the
sour-faced woman was going to faint

Arrested for Moonshining.

John NJ. Brownell, who killed Deputy United
States Marshal Weller in Holmes county, Fla,
and who was after his arrest released by the
state authorities on the plea of justifable
homicide, was taken to Jacksonville Tuesday
by United States officials and given hearing
before Commissioner Walter on the charge of
resisting United States officers. The hearing
was concluded yesterday and Brownell was
discharged, it being shown that the deputy
who was killed did not disclose the fact that he
was government officer when he attempted
to arrest Brownell. Before he could leave the
court room the original warrant charging him
with moonshining was served on Brownell and
he was again taken into custody. He will be
allowed to go to his home in Holmes county,
accompanied by an officer to secure the 81, 500
bail imposed by the commissioner.

Eccentricities in Diet.

From the Family Doctor.
The preference of the Chinese for food that
seems to our appetites absolutely disgusting is
well known. In Canton rats sell for fifty cents
a deGen, and dogs hind quarters command
higher price than lamb or mutton. Fancy eat
ing birds nests worth $50 a pound! This is
what mandarin revels in. The French have be-
guiled US into eating frogs legs, which were once
tabooed In this country, and we have even
come to esteem diseased goose liver in the form
OF pate de fois gras. The writer has met
braZillans who rave over boa constructor
steaks, and count monkey and parrots a very
good meal. In the West Indies baked snake is
common dish, as the reptiles abound and it
10 good way Of getting rid of them. But when
it comes to frying palm worms in
fat, one would think the stomach would
rebel. 1t is not so, however, though
Dy strange inconsistency stewed rabbit is
looked upon with disgust. On the Pacific coast
the Digger Indians eat dried locusts, and in the
Argentine Republic skunk flesh is dainty.
Our own favorite bivalve, the oyster, is very
disgusting to Turk, while the devil fish, eaten
in Corsica, Is equally SO to us. We cannot un-
derstand, either, how the inhabitants of the
West Indies and the Pacific coast can eat liz
ards eggs with q relish; still less how the eggs
Of the turtle and alligator can become favor
ite article Of diet. The Brazilians eat ants,
probably to get rid Of them, for they literally
infest the country and are Of enormous size.
1t is easy to pick up handful of ants almost
anywhere, though tho wary do not go about in
most vicious manner. A curry of ants eggs il
. great delicacy in Siam, and the Cingalese eat
the bees whose honey they have stolen. The
Chinese, who seem to have stomachs like the
ostrich, eat the chrysalis of the silk worm after
unwinding the cocoon: Spiders are used in
pillars are also relished BY the African bush
men.

A Treasurer Short.

Michael Possey, democratic treasurer of
Shelby county, Ind, has confessed to his attor-

$4,000 in his accounts. Judge Hord yesterday
notified his bondsmen Of the fact and they will
take action today. Possey states that he used
the money to pay off private debts which were
the result of ill-health and heavy campaign
expenses. He will turn over several thousand
dollars worth Of property. The county COM

Few and Far Between.

A rather unusual episode in Boston life o.
Cured to friend of the Saunterer few days
since. Passing up Court street his progress
was intercepted by q gray-bsarded stranger

II say, old fellow, don't you know me? I
am -, to whom you loan $5 thirty-one years
ago, when was blamed hard-up. have been
over the world since that time and have now a
little something over" Pulling a wallet from
his pocket he extracted @l0 bill and insisted
upon its acceptance, but the friend declined
taking more than the original loan. Out Of
numberless loans of money to many parties in
about the only one that the friend can remem-
ber Verify, there is little honor left in this hard
