A lad of 8 going into the police station
the other night tolda pitiable story, say
ing that his father SO abused him that
he had run away from his home in Rome,
n. Y. The police pitied him, and after
giving him a supper tucked him away
comfortably in a bed. The next morn
ing a man who lived only a few doors
from the station wandered in and in
quired for his son. He vas told that
only one child was there, a poor little
fellow from New York state, who had
been badly treated at home. He natur-
ally felt for the child, and expressing a
desire to sec him he was escorted to the
bed, when he recognized the sleeper as
his missing son.
He angrily demanded an explanation.
Jakey forgot all about the cruel Rome
father and trembled in anticipation of
the reception awaiting him at home.
When Sergeant Logan heard that he had
been wasting pity and good victuals on
the lad he felt a trife queer, and did not
regain his composure until the patter Of
a shingle accompanied by suppressed
sobs and yells foated out of a house
near by and fell like music on his ear

All Wing, a Chinese cook on a whaler,
recently arrived here from Sitka with his
Indian wife. The story OF how he came
to wed his Alaskan bride reads Ike the
romance of Pocahontas and John Smith.
The whaler on which Wing cooked was
wrecked on the Alaskan coast and Wing
escaped to the ice, where he was found
by Indians. They treated him kindly
and fed him so carefully his suspicious
were aroused, and he learned from the
chiefs daughter that he WAS to be bar
becued for a big feast.
He made love to the damsel, and on
the fatal day when he was brought out
to be killed the daughter pleaded for his
life, which her father granted. They
were married and lived some time with
the tribe, but Wing grew tired OF walrus
meat and escaped with his wife in a
whaler. He is now tailoringin this city,
his wife helping him, as she has become
an adept with the needle. She shows
signs of consumption, however, due to
indoor life, as she can not be induced to
venture OF the street, being afraid of the
noise and bustle.-Cor. St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Against the Chinese.

Chief Of Police Crowley, of San Fran
cisco, who has been at the head of the
police department for eighteen years,
has filed a strong Indictment against tine
Chinese Of that city. He says the Chi
nese there commit more crimes against
the law in proportion to their number
than any race o community, and the
detection of the perpetrators of such
crimes is more difficult than the detec-
ton of criminals of any other class, be-
Cinnamon refuse to disclose the
identity of their criminals. They have
no regard for the obligations of an oa.h,
and are becoming more vicious and i'm
moral year by year. The chief favors
the removal of the Chinese quarter

The army Of doctors has apparently
enjoyed itself amazingly at Berlin,
where science and surgery have been
judiciously tempered with anusements
of the most varied description. In the
history OF the world no such array Of
medicine men has ever been seen rs that
which met in the gorgeous Kunst
Anstellung to listen TO the welcoming
words of Yirchow, the pathologist; Won
Gossler, the minister of medicine and
religion IAN excellent combination Of
functions, and Won P~alckenbeck, the
chief burgomaster.
Sir James Paget secured the warmest
reception Of the foreign delegates; Dr..
Baccelli, the Italian, for the owen
fence of his carl colleghi,n insisted ON
using Latin as q common language, and
Dr.. Won Bergmann's normal appearance
has been vastly improved by his brand
new uniform, although the passing in
terest he once excited was wholly
eclipscd by Grand Duke Theodore, of
Bavaria, the eminent oculist, who
brought the grand duchess to look down
n her husbands 5000 fellow rractition-
ers from a box. The heat was more than
tropical, but the doctors submitted to be
closely packed with the best possible
grace, and the Il royalty Of the whole
European faculty was indefatigable in
pointing ont to his wife such celebrities
as the veteran Won Bardeleben. whose
breast glittered with orders; Sir Will

Not Eager to save Lie.

Every season regularly some event
happens on the Norman or Breton coast
which brings into relief the apathy and
Indifference of the bathing box owners
when any of their customers have the
misfortune to be in danger while swim
ming. This time the perilous adventure
of NJ. Edmond H~araucourt, poet and
dramatist, is a case in point. Nj. Harau-
court, while swimming lately, was car
ried a long distance away from the shore
by the current.
The waves were running high at the
time, and everybody gave the swimmer
up as lost. His mother and friends who
were watching him battling for life with
the surge begged and implored the
owner of the bathing boxes to send out
a boat to the rescue. This the man re-
fused to do steadfastly, alleging thai, as
there was no chance Of saving II. Harau-
courts life, it was useless to run the risk
of having the boat dashed against the
rocks. In the meantime. thanks to his
strength and skill as & swimmer, N.
Haraucourt was enabled to set near the
foot of the cliff, where he was thrown
by the surge on the shore, which he had
not hoped to reach asair aliva.-Pal
Mall Gazette.

Macherel from the Pacific.

a new industry which is Swinging up
in Southern California is mackerel fish
ing, and is thus described by The Los
Angeles Cali Times. Last year w. IL.
Maurice, a produce jobber Of this city,
started some men to catching mackerei
off Catalina Island and sailing them.
About twenty barrels were put up, and
these, utilized as samples, made such a
favorable impression that it was deter
mined to put up a supply for the trade
this year. The seasons PACK already a
commenced at Catalina, and it promises
to be very successful. The only trouble
with the fishes is an embarrassment of
riches.
The schools of fish encountered are 50
vast that it is impossible to draw a net
around one. and as only a portion is in
Guided in the sweep they get started on
q run like a flock of sheep, and the ma
jor portion escape. When q small school
is encountered the SEEMING is more sue
~cessful. This seasons pack will be from
500 to 1000 barrels of fish. and Mr..
Maurice expects to supply orders as far
east as Denver, and possibly Kansas
City. The fish are said to be very
fine, ranking with the imported brand
"bloater mess" and averaging one and
three-quarter pounds each, dressed.
Very few of that choice brand reach
this coast through the dealers, and those
which do are sold at a fancy price
about twenty-five cents a pound. The
average supply of this coast is rated as
3, and commands at wholesale from
S24 to S25 a barrel.

A ~GENTLEMAN'S DEN.
Room in Which the Man of the House
Does just Whatever Pleases Him.

Room in Which the Man of the House
Does just Whatever Pleases Him.
The .-gentleman's den' is a new de-
partment in the decorators emporium.
For a long time we have had the priv
ilege OF seeing chambers, parlors, living
and dining rooms made up in shop win
dows with the incest regard for detail
and accuracy imaginable. Now comes
the novelty in the shape of an ideal for
a den, where the man of the house can
do as he likes-smoke till his eyes are
blind and the lining of his mouth peels
and where his books, papers and slippers
are safe from the destroying hand of the
housemaid. The model represented by
a local firm shows Il study in hand
painted English cotton, that cool, clean
fabric covering the walls. In the cell
ing, bordered with the palest blue cloth,
were figures from the pyramids in pict-
uresque groups. The frieze, also of print
ed cotton, is two feet wide, and repre-
sents a study from the hieroglyphics.
The floor is stained brown and a
couple of India rugs half cover it. The
furniture, while sparse, is substantial
and every piece served a purpose. For
instance, the three chairs are large, easy
and luxurious; the Turkish couch, also
cotton covered, is provided with a dull
red pillow and a silver plush and leopard
skin slumber robe that would stand any
amount of rough usage for ten years at
least. On an Oriental coffee table the
smokers articles We're displayed and
near by stood % blackened iron crane
with a kettle on the hook. The only at
tempt at decoration was a small bamboo
cabinet stained with walnut juice and
containing Il sugar basin, water bottle,
can of alcohol and a couple of glasses
and spoons. The writing stand on the
center table was the size of aplatter such
as a turkey is served from, and the glue
pot and ink bottles had the capacity of a
pint measure.
The only books on the table were a
dictionary and messengers tariff guide.
There was no cloth on the tables, no
tides on the chairs and no bric-a-brac to
be broken or busted. Stained glass pan
els filled the upper windows and delicate
silk sash curtains the lower lights. The
appointment of a den of this sort is
worth about $500, and is referred to as a
hole in the wall where a bothered and
tired mar may escape the horrors of
housekeeping, neighborly calls, piano
solos, e~locution and baby talk.-New
York Letter.
