Costly courting in Philadelphia.

:. "I issued warrant this afternoon for
the arrest of q man on very peculiar
charge" said an up town police magis-
trate, sand as there is no likelihood of
his being captured violate no ethics in
telling you about it.
"This man, who has heretofore been
looked upon as hard working, honest
mechanic, is the father of two daugh-
tiers, both of whom received young gen
tlemen callers at their home. During
the winter these young men, when they
started to go home one evening, found
their overcoats missing from the rack in
the hallway. The theft was reported to
the police, who blamed it on sneak
thieves. One of these young men had
no less than three overcoats stolen dur
ing the winter, and the other lost two
besides his hat. Five other young men,
who had made informal calls, also
missed their coats. The father of the
girls was the most active in denouncing
| the thief when the thefts were discov-
| cred.
"Two weeks ago all of the coats were
found at down town pawnbroker's Of
fee, and the description of the man who
pawned them tallies exactly with that OF
the father of the girl. Whether he got
wind of the discovery ! do not know, but
for some reason he moved away very
suddenly while the young men were de
iberating whether they should secure
his arrest or not. The young ladies arr
| estimable in every way, and for theil
sake I do not believe any special effort

father. It is one of the strangest cases
that ever came before me. "-Philadel

A sensation has been created in Eng
land by the discovery that an active
slave trade is now being carried on in
Madras, India, under the eyes of the
government. It appears that in that
British province traffic in girls has been
carried on as outrageous as In Constanti-
nople and with just about the same
amount Of secrecy. It is said that high
English officials are implicated in the
nefarious trade.

New TelephOne.

A new telephone has lust been invent
ed that promises to make merry compe-
tition for the Bell monopoly. For four,
teen years the Bell patents have stood in
vulnerable against world OF inventors.
and 1t was thought that for three years
longer or until the final expiration of the
original patents, there would be no in
strument come 10 light which would not
be an infringement upon the rights of the
original claimants of the field. s. Berg
mann, of New York, however. has de-
signed an instrument, and has just been
granted letters patent upon it, which
seems to electricians to be a. good a tel,
ephone as the Bell, if not better, without
the application OF any of the Bill pripci-
pies. 1T this new telel hone succeeds
there will be revolution in telephony
within few months 1t is an undoubted
fact that there are hundreds of improve
ments devised for the Bell telephone,
which have been bought up by that com
pany, intended TO be used after 1893,
when their original patents expire, and
when they will be thrown into direct COM
petition with anyone who happens to
have money enough to set up plant.

EIse's Headgear.
A peculiar thieving operation is just
now being carried on in various sections
OF the country, and has completely
aroused the indignation of number of
vIctimized citiz .ps in q neighboring
town. The scheme may sooner or later
be attempted here. and for that reason
the plan of operation as described by an
exchange will be read with interest and
perhaps profit:
For several months past an individual
has been visiting the various barber
shops of the city and victimizing the pa>
irons by stealing their hats while the
owners are still in the chair being
shaved. The thiet's plan is to enter q
shop which Is pretty well crowded with
waiting customers. While waiting his
turn he makes it a point to take thor
ough inventory Of the various tiles as
they rest ensconced on the heads of the
owners or as they hang suspended on
the pegs 10 the wall. Having fastened
his eye on new looking hat the thief
proceeds TO make himself the posse sor
of it.
Ii he discovers that the hat selected be-
longs to some one being shaved, having
hung his own hat on the rack, he will de
eide after minute or two that he cannot
wait for his turn TO be shaved and will
rush OF. taking the hat of his intended
victim, leaving his own behind. lie the
hat he wishes to steal belongs to some
one who is to be shaved after him, he
Outlines gets shaved and then takes the
hat as he goes out. In every case the
hat left behind is old and battered and not
worth % cents.
Black stiff hats are the ones which this
peculiar thief selects for his operations. as
In stealing them there is less fear of de-
lection. Most of these hats are valuable
and make q good haul
IL is believed that the thief DAVIS the
hats after getting them 10 his possession,
and there is therefore some hope OF catch
ing him. The BARRIERS are now all on
their guard.
