A DIAMOND-SET TOOTH.
A New Fad for Women Who Spend
Their Money Foolishly.

A New Fad for Women Who Spend
Their Money Foolishly.
From the 81. Paul Pioneer Press.
Some time ago New York paper told a
story that dentist had inserted diamond
in the tooth of sprightly actress, with
which she dazzled the dudes who nightly
pre-empted the first rows of orchestra
chairs
1t remained for a st. Paul dentist (Dr.
Ellis to actually accomplish this feat. A
short time ago lady with badly decayed
upper lateral incisor entered his office, and
after an examination, the doctor informed
her that the only means of saving the tooth
would be to substitute gold crown. In a
joking way he referred to the diamond
story, and laughingly suggested that there
was an excellent opportunity to try the ex-
pertinent in her case. To his surprise his
patient, who proved to be an actress, as
scented. DR.. Ellis procured a small-sized
brilliant and EMBEDDED it in the gold crown
which he built on the remains of the natural
predecessor.
The actress is delighted with the result.
and declares that the next gem inserted
shall be carat in weight. The stone is not
conspicuous and might escape notice alto
gether, although ray of artificial light
makes it sparkle in a way likely to arouse
curiosity. The actress is the nearest actual
approach to the little girl in the fairy story
from whose mouth gems dropped whenever
she spoke. 1t is hardly probable that any
such fashion will become general although
an inspection of the jeweled incisor shows
that the effect is far less startling than
would be expected.

a CHILD STOLEN BY GYPsIRs.
Exciting Chase by the Distracted
Father After Them.

There is considerable excitement in the
Pequannock Valley, near Wagner station,
says Newark, n. Y, special to the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, over the attempted alb
duction yesterday by gypsies of 5-year-old
Joseph Mitchell. Young Mitchell was
picked up few hundred yards from his
fathers house by gypsies and placed in a
caravan, which was then driven off. Fannie
Andrus, the 1O-year-old daughter of John
Andrus, charcoal burner, picking flowers
near by, saw what the gypsies had done,
and she informed MIR. Mitchell Aiming
himself with a revolver he summoned two
OF his workmen, one of whom took a shot
gun. and the two jumped into wagon and
gave chase.
After drive of about three miles the
frantic father sighted the caravan going
over side road in the direction of Passaic
county. He gradually closed the gap be-
tween himself and the fugitives. and got
within quarter of mile of him before he
was discovered. When the gypsies saw
they were being pursued they whipped up
their horses, but the extra weight of their
vehicles prevented them from covering
ground very quickly. Before another mile
had been traversed Mr.. Mitchell was in shot
gun range of the fugitives, and raising the
weapon co his shoulder, he cried Halt"
The command had the desired effect, and
MIR. Mitchell was soon face to face with the
abductors of his child When Questioned
the leader denied all knowledge OF the bow.
whereupon the frantic father drew his re-
volver and would have shot the chief but
for the interference of one of the workmen
who ompanied him.
At this juncture all old woman, who an
peared to- be the queen of the tribe, sprang
from one of the wagons and told the chief
to give up the boy. He very reluctantly
went to one of the closed caravans, closely
followed by the elder Mitchell, and, unlock
Ing section that was almost alright, pro-
duced the boy, who was tied hand and foot
and almost sutfocated by gag that nearly
filled his mouth. The ropes were torn from
the boy and the gag was removed.
In the meantime several of the band who
were ahead on horseback and in Iight
wagons returned, and seeing that they were
armed the workmen prevailed upon Mr.
Mitchell to keep calm, as blood would be
shed on both sides if quarrel started
After threatening to kill Mitchell if he at
tempted to follow them any further the
gypsies started off again, while Mitchell re-
turned home with the boy. To-day a posse
of constables started out to run down. if
possible, the would-be abductors and bring
them to justice. Young Mitchell since his
arrival at home has acted very queerly, and
1t is feared that the terrible fright he sus-
tanned will make him a maniac.

A SMOKING TREE.
A Strange Phenomenon That Causes
Dismay Among the Negroes.

A Strange Phenomenon That Causes
Dismay Among the Negroes.
From the Richmond Times.
Newton, vigorous mountain town west
of Charlotte, N. c., has curiosity that
beats by large majority the rain tree
which gained such notoriety in Charlotte in
1886. 1t is smoking tree and battles all eff
forts at explanation. 1t is white null
berry tree and stands GA the sidewalk in
front of the residence of Levi Yoder.
1t was brought from Illinois year or
two ago and is now about twelve feet high.
with bushy top and many lateral
branches. Last Sunday one of the family
noticed a puff of smoke proceed from one
of the limbs and by watching it closely puffs
identical in appearance to cigarette smoke
were seen starting every now and then from
all over the tree, sometimes from the
leaves, sometimes from the bloom, some
times from the bark of the limbs or trunk
of the tree. The puffs are at irregular
intervals; sometimes two or three at once
from various parts of the tree and some
times they are several seconds or a half
minute apart. They just seem to come at
haphazard from any part Of the tree, and
as they ascend in the air look exactly like
smoke from cigarette.
Since Tuesday, when the curiosity first
became generally known. large crowds,
both of town and country people. can be
seen there at any time in the day. All
doubling Thomases are soon convinced on
the first visit that the tres "do smoke
Among the white people it is only looked
upon as a curiosity, and many, of course,
make explanations of the phenomenon,
which, perhaps, are plausible enough to
their authors, but which carry very little
conviction TO the minds of Others
But the negroes don't like the thing Mt
all. One negro woman, after intently
watching the puffs few minutes. started
off in a run, saying: 81 wouldn't lib dar fur
nothin'; people better go to doin' better

A Reporters Experience in a Railroad
Station Late at Night.
(From the Messo9e.)
The reporter who has been an operator
has decided advantage in getting his copy
to the office by telegraph. A year or two
ago one who had knowledge of telegraphy
was sent to Dobbs Ferry late at night on an
extremely important affair. He arrived
there at IL o'clock, had to drive consider
able distance from the station, and it was l
a. nj. when he returned to the depot. The
last train had gone. and the telegraph office
closed long time before. A Waterman or
track walker at the depot said that the
operator lived mile and half away, and
that he was ill anyhow, and that there was
no possibility of sending anything by wire
that night.
When the Waterman had obligingly
taken walk up the track the writer tried
the Office window, found the catch rather
loose, and with the thin blade of a pocket.

for lack OF time to compose the story as it
was telegraphed on the key. This was done
in the dark for fear the Waterman would

porter for burglary. 20. K" having been

Mrs. HEM, the charming little wife of
chubby LIEUT.. Hem of the royal navy,
many New Workers will remember with
pleasure, because Of her delightful hospi-
tality during the winter of 1888, when their
yacht, the cutter Galatea, lay in the dry
dock at the South Brooklyn shipyards.
They gave some happy little dinners aboard
the yacht, which they made their home, in
spite of the barren surroundings, which
many yachtsmen recall and often speak Of
Mrs. HEM is undoubtedly the most finished
and competent yachtswoman in the world.
She makes her home on board the yacht for
nine months in the year, and during the
other three months she pines for a return
One OF her common expressions is that she
never gets rid Of her sea legs, and she avows
that she cannot dance anywhere but on the
deck of ship.
The defeats of the Galatea by Gen.
Charles j. Paine's sloop Mayflower in the
races for the famous and battered old relic,
the America cup, were the cause Of much
anguish to Mrs. HEM. She had come to
this country confident that the cutter was
invincible, and it was hard to accept defeat
smilingly. She never would admit that it
was the superior speed of the Mayfiower

| er5 but for the Suit.
From the Kansas City Times
Justice Holt was in a critical frame of
mind yesterday, when the case of R. H
Hill against Rowan Sugarman came up for
trial. Sugarman is tailor near Eleventh
street and Broadway. and some time ago
Hill had him make pair of trousers for
him. When the garment was completed,
however, Hill claimed it was not a fit,
though he took it away with him and
brought his suit for damages. Hill was
eloquent yesterday in crying the tailor's in

"Yes. sir, here they are in this bundle"
answered Hill, producing bundle.
LET me see them, said the court, reach

and his honor unrolled it. exposing very
gaudy pair of spring pantaloons. The court
caught hold of each leg and held them up
and surveyed them critically. Finally he
threw them back to Hill, saying:

court.
Hills eyes stuck out and he looked as
though his ears had deceived him, but after
looking at the trousers thoughtfully for a
moment he commenced to doff his neither

were immensely amused by this time and
fairly arose in their seats with expectancy.
When Hill finally got his trousers off aud

delight went up. Hill looked confused for
moment, but commenced putting on the
new garment, when the court told him to
hurry up. Finally the trousers were on and
securely buttoned up.

let me see where they don't fit"
Hill stopped and then paraded UP and
