CHAMPION OF TRUANcY.

4 French Boy Of Ten Years with an On.
conQusrable Love OF Travel
A Paris newspaper correspondent saw
at his mothers little home in the Cite
de Popinoourt Master Hippolyte Brise-
mur, young gentleman who had been
emulsting Joe Frank, the Chicago run
away. He is only ten years Of age, but
already he has run away from homo
twelve times. He is small, wiry,
bulletheaded little Partisan gamin-
shrewd, intelligent, cunning, false. His
sharp, ferret eyes are never still and
never look one straight in the face,
though their restlessness proves that
they are watching every movement
in momentary expectation of . cuff or
kick, and the wiry body witches in
preparation for immediate escape from
either. He stolidly refused to talk, but
whined out sort Of plea to be released.
The mother and father, respectable peo-
pie Of the ouvrier class, said he was alb
solutely incorrigible. He has been i'm
prisoned in the Petite Roquette for beg
ging in the street, has three times been
in reformatory homes, twice at Poitiers
and once in the Rue Dauphine, but no
sooner Is he out than his nomadic in
stincts lead him to another flight His
last escapade, for which he was once
more sent to Poitiers, will show the dar-
ing as well as the untruthful nature of
the little animal. Fifteen days before
he was missed, and when he was
brought home his parents were told that
he had been found hiding in freight
wagon at St Maixent. He had stolen The
ride from the Orleans terminus in Paris.
When taken and asked what he was
doing, he boldly replied that he had
heard so much at school of the cele-
brated battlefield at St. Maixent,
where Charles Marcel had conquered
the Saraoens, that he had been filled
with desire to visit and see the place
for himself. Such story from such q
child, was, Of course, disbelieved, and,
after some difficulty, his name and ad-
dress being found, he was sent back to
Paris. So 'incorrigible is this young
ster in his truant ways that his parents
have ceased to worry when he disap-
pears, feeling certain that when he
comes to the end Of his tether he will
find his way to the nearest police sta
ton. give himself up and be sent home.

History is not altogether written in

''This interfered somewhat with the
other young fellows who were, like my
self. paying attention to Mrs. Johnson's

guards to admit me, and by the time the

Death Tuesday Morning.
James Webster, the oolored man who,
while drunk on Saturday night, fell from
the third story of the house, No. S2s
Tatnall street, died at $40 O'Clock Tues.
day morning.
A story had been circulated in the city
| purporting that oolored companion had
pushed Webster out OF the window. But
1t seems there is abundant testimony of
eye witnessed that he was alone in the
/ ,oom st the tiine OF the accident and that
the unfortunate man Is alone TO be blamed
for the tragic termination of his drink
ing bout.
The facts OF the occurrence are az fol-
| lows: Webster, who lived at No. ZIG West
Seventh street, called ut the Tatnall street
house at . O'Clock saturday night, inquis-
ing for a colored girl Of his acquaintance.
He was SO drunk St the time that he could
stand straight only with some difficulty.
The girl was not in the house. Webster
then made his why UP the back stairs of
the tenement which is very squat three.
story structure. He olambered up to the
third story and kicked open the door of
the front room. There was no one in the
third story at the time. The people below
distinctly heard the racket the drunken
man was making. Subsequently the at
tontion Of numbers of people ON the
street was attracted by the man as he
hung half way out Of the window, calling
TO passers.by aud throwing articles cut
in the street. Suddenly he was seen to
put one OF his legs out. His boiy fol-
lowed and came crashing down. He Crap
pied OF the second floor window shutters,
but his nerveless grasp wRs useless. The
large crowd which mad gathered ran
forward and Webster vas picked mp un-
conscious, According to the statement Of q
young colored woman, the man recov-
cred and walked around TO New street.
In few minutes, however, he sank again
unconscious. From this condition he
never awoke. The patrol wagon was sent
for and the man was taken to the police
station. DIR. Wallsce stayed with him
all tho night until Sunday morning at
tempting to arouse the man from his
lethasgy, but Without success. He was
then sent to the almshouse, where he
remainted until Monday evening. 1t is
stated upon the authority OF his
colored friends that he was not
visited by n physician during
the whole Of that time, nearly 30 hours.
These men upon being closely questioned
stated that the eolored male nurss told
them 80 and that The white female nurse
said that the 6oetor was not at the hos
pital. WobsIer's friends, two young men
from Hartford county. Maryland, which is
the dead mans native place also, then got
permission 20 have hun brought hack
here Monday evening in the almshouse

conscious. They obtained the SER

physician did what was possible under
the circumstances, but Webster showed
no signs OF rellying and died at $40 a.
