From the indianapolis Sentinel.
Twas talking with the landlord Of a
small but tidy hotel in a tow in Illinois,
when n trampish-looking fellow about 10
years Of age entered the Office and walked
directly up TO us and asked:
(which Of you is the landlord ?"

"Well. ! am out of money. hungry and
ragged and have got TO- make a strike.

pulled o pistol from his h~ip-pocket. "If
you don't think the muss, the inquest and
what the papers will say will hurt your
house more Than five dollars worth, why
don't give me the money. Give you thirty
seconds to decide"
'Here's your five," said the landlord,
after looking the man over
He took II with a "Thank you" and

A Result Of Pats Inexperience.

From The Seattle Fress.
An Irishman, direct from the Emerald
isle, landed in Seattle one day during the
past week, and secured a situation in one
of the mines neal Franklin. The first job
Pat tackled was driving a dump cart. He
had never seen one before, and didn't
know exactly how to handle ii.
Pat succeeded i'm loading the cart all
right, but when he got ready To unload il,
he found il was an altogether different
matter.
Pat stood of and looked at the cart n
moment, and then a broad smile broke
over his c~ountenancc.
"Bedad, and l think l have it," said he,
and unhitching the mule he led him away
from the cart, and then putting his
shoulders under the forward end. he
tipped the whole outfit over backward.

AN OUTDOOR COMMENCEMENT.
Interesting Graduating Exercises at st.
Johns College.

One of the most interesting commencements
Of the week was that of St. Johns College,
Vermont avenue, on Tuesday evening. II the
cool and shady yard in the rear of the building
platform had been erected, and here the eXer-
cises were held in the presence of an audience
which occupied hundreds Of chairs that had
been placed among the trees on the grass and
walks. The rays of the hot afternoon sun were
excluded by the high building and the row Of
graceful willows that surrounds the yard while
the audience had the added benefit of the breeze
that was stirring out Of doors. Altogether it
was probably the most comfortable audience
that has gathered since the opening Of the COM
mencement season in Washington and as a
consequence the interesting programme was
thoroughly enjoyed by the hundreds of friends
Of the institution who were present. The rear
walls of the college building and the outside
stairways were prettily draped with bunting
and from the cupola an American flag floated to
the breeze, Music Of an appropriate character
was furnished by the Marine Band, and Brother
Tobias, Brother Fabrcian, and the other gentle
men connected with the institution were warmly
congratulated on the success Of the occasion
and the excellent showing made by the pupils.
Among the guests on the stage were Repre-
sentatyes McAdoo, OF New Jersey, and Cherice,
of California, and Rev p. j. McGarrigan, vice
rector Of the Catholic University who deiy-
cred the address TO the graduates.
The programme was as follows: Preparatory

A Day at Bay Ridge.

In sultry summer weather days outing at
Bay Ridge is refresher to the denizen of
Washington. There is good saltwater bathing,
boating, and fishing, but, if you prefer to loaf,
there are shaded banks and seats in the groves,
where one can recline and listen to the music
Of the Naval Academy Band, which the man
agement has engaged for the season.
For the children there is endless amusement
in the electric railway, the roller coaster, the
swings and merry-go-rounds, the ball field, etc.
The breezes at Bay Ridge are never idle, and
stealing over the beautiful bay, temperng the
heat Of the sun and making existence JOY in

Details of his Second Flight from

RECREANT BECKER.
HE VIOLATES HIS WORD OF HONOR
AND SkIP> AGAIN.
Through his Action all Legislation Fails.

The rumor given 10 yesterday : issue,
to the effect that Senator Becker had
again fled from the capital, proved to
be based on facts. We have already
reciied the story of Mr.. Becker's wan
d.rings up to the time he was present.
e 1 under arrest at the bar Of the SEN
ate, and by the clemency of bis former
associates In that body, relieved of hi.
contempt and the penalty therefor.
Having at that time, rs IL reported by
yood authority, given his word of
honor to be in attendance a. the Mon
day morning session of the senate. he
was absolutely and entirely released
from surveillance and permitted to go
where he rleased. 1t seems, however,
that Notwithstanding the promise
made he chose to go TO Idaho. and
through bis friends he was furnished
special engine. which pulled out of
Helena on sunday night between 10
and II o'clock, oveIt.king the regular
train at Hope, Idaho, on Monday
morning. at which point the fugitive
WAS recognized by Helena man on
the regular train, who telegraphed
the fact to a republican friend i'm Hell.
eDa, this telegram being the fret init.
nation to the republicans that Mr..
Becker had bolted. Having crossed
the border of the state Mr.. Becker IL,
like the rest of the democratic gang,
secure from arrest. as In such case II
could only be made on the governors
warrant, which would undoubtedly Ge
denied by our present executive. The
only serious feature of Mr.. Becker's
second flight is that the appropriation
bills passed at the Saturday nights
session, were through neglect, the ex.
element IT the occasion or for some
other cause. left unsigned. The law
requires that they shall be signed by
the president OF the council In open
session and quorum present. As 1t
is row an impossibility to bring about
these condition., the bills which it
was expected would bee, me operative
at once are now of no more value than
the paper they are written on. So
much reliance was PLACED upon Mr..
Becker's ''word of honor" that ii was
doubtless intended that the bills
would be signed on Monday. at which
time he promised to be present. The
work Of Saturday night therefore goes
for naught.
