fills Reward for FOol,ng with a Lady's
r. Garter.

1t was at the Old Guard ball. The
gentleman was an army officer of more
than ordinary rank. In appearance
they are we'll matched. She is a daz-
zling blonde, with q figure that can dis
count any one-armed Venus de Milo I
ever saw. The names of the two have
been coupled together not a little, but
it is safe to predict that such remarks
will cease from now on.
1t happened this way. They had
Just danced a quadrille and returned to
their seats in a palm-decorated corner
quite out Of the way of the madding
crowd. What he was saying when an
other man came to claim her for the
next dance is immaterial, but when his
following gaze lost the lovely form in
the crowd, he glanced manlike at his
boots and in q minute his eyes were
rlveted on q dainty light-blue gold
clasped article that lay on the floor not
q yard from where his fair partner Of
the previous minute had been seated.
As he recognized it's character all the
he-rutled conrtiers of the court of the
English King seemed to troop before

pretty thing into an inner pocket.

perity. During the rest of the evening
he was so idiotically happy that he
failed to notice the disturbed and fur
lively searching glances that the pretty
woman, cognizant OF her loss, every
now and then cast into odd corners
where a loose article might have been
brushed.
On the way homes confession of his
newly-found treasure rose to his lips a
dozen times, only to be postponed.
When at last he stood in the hall of her
house she looked so pretty that he could
resist no longer. He held one of her
gloves in his hand. 1t required no lug
Cling skill to take his blue and gold
treasure and slip it into the glove. It
was better, he thought, to give it to her
than tell her. He didn't know how
much the poor girl had gone through
since he had picked up the dainty
banble. just as he was beginning to
tell her goodnight he handed back her
glove. In a moment the form that had
been full OF yielding grace grew rigid.
One pretty hand clasped the glove so
closely that it didn'5 take all the keen
intuition Of the girl to understand that
the long-lost and much-needed article
was within. No sooner had she realized
that during all her suffering this mau

rose in arms. sentiment vanished, and,
with the ejaculation, "Oh, you horrid
brute!" she fled up the stairway, leav-
ing him to his reflections and a large
chunk of modification.

Jake's response was a still more sui.
phurous outburst Of oaths, and to show
his contempt for "Parson Dan" he
aimed a pick at the PROSTATE lad.
For a moment "Parson Dams" face
was a study. It was that of a maj

Prohibition OF Hypnotism.

Among the most remarkable of the
phenomena of hypnotism is the power
of the operator to impressive subje to
perform an action at some future time
hours Or days after emerging from the
hypnotic state. The ability Of a person
thus to compel an innocent agent to
commit crime, according to DR.. J. T.
O'Connor, has aroused the serious at

"a Translator,

English laborers in their use of titles
are governed by etiquette, which is the
strong law of custom. The shoemaker
of the hamlet is addressed as Master
Blank. Those below him in the social
ucale are called by their Christian
names. The laborer addresses an in
ferior OF an equal with "thou," but
never a superior.
The wife of a shoemaker who earns
less money than a good shepherd is the
social superior of the shepherds wife,
and is addressed as "Mistress." The
shepherds wife ranks the wife of the
day-laborer, who holds herself above
the wife of some one lower down than
her husband.
1t is the occasion for a smile when we
read on a negro boot-black's sign the
announcement that Professor Blank
shines for five cents;" but the boot
black is only following an old precedent
in trying to give mental service the
dignity of intellectual work.
A hundred years ago in London, at
the trial Of a man for stealing shoes, a
witness, being asked what his business

A Massachusetts Dog Story.

A Boston gentleman, to test his dogs
understanding, read aloud to him from
the newspaper an article to the. effect
that our worthy Legislators had aban-
doned the attempt to muzzle the dogs.
Thereupon the joy Of the St. Bernard
knew no bounds. He barked, leaped
into the air, ran around the room, and
even became SO excited that he ran up
and down stairs until restrained by
force.

arrested on Suspicion, and What
1t Resulted In.
An arrest was made laft night at $50
by Detective Kenealy and Sergt. Sexton
which places another burglar behind
the bars. A few nights ago jewelry
store in Minneapolis was robbed, and a
number OF watches and rings were
among the articles stolen. The man
arrested last night gave his name at the
station at T. M. Jerrard, which is pro-
baby not the way he was christened.
he was arrested as a suspicious char
acter, and when searched at the CEN
tral station it was proved that there
was excellent ground for suspicion.
Jerrard had five gold-flled watches
about his clothes, three gold
plated keeper rings, gold ring
with ruby and pearl setting, several
jewelers. tools and three packs of
marked playing cards. The numbers
of the watches were respectively as fol-
lows: Case OPAL; works, Ohio Watch
company, 5,7S9: case 6,1O3; works,
Manhattan Watch company, 22,O14;
case LOSS; works, County Watch COM
pany. Chicago. 952, 406; case 1919; works,
6,211. Manhattan Watch company; case
2.S27, works 7SS. 181, Northwestern
Watch company. All the watches are
of cheap manufacture. and from
the description of the missing
Minneapolis property, it is be-
lieved to be the same. Lieut..
SchweitZer notified the police in Min
neapoliS of the catch. and an effort will
be made to identity the man this morn
ing. The prisoner also had in his pos
session two watch chains, each with
locketS attached, one of the latter con-
tanning the photo of a lady.

ACT IS VALID.
The City Has Authority to Abate
the Smoke Nuisance

The City Has Authority to Abate
the Smoke Nuisance.
Last December William L. Barteau
was proceeded against for violation of
the law commonly known as the smoke
nuisance. He was charged with allow
ing large volumes of smoke to issue
from the stack Of the Hotel Barteau,
which is located in the heart of the city.
Having been arrested for this violation
of the law, Barteau applied to the dis
trict court for writ of habeaS corpus.
The sheriff returned the prisoner into
court and stated the cause of his deten-
ton. Mr.. Barteau, through his attorney.
demurred to the return made by the
sheriff, or In other words, claimed that
the Offense was not such as would justify
his being held under the warrant. He
was therefore allowed to have his lib
erty pending the decision of the case.
Judge Wilkin yesterday rendered de-
clSiOn, in which he Overruled the de-
murrer to the return of the sheriff.
Judge Wilkin says that the question
raised upon the demurrer involves the
validity of chapter BE. of the special
laws OF 1889, which declares the ennis
sion of dense smoke in the city of St.
Paul, under certain conditions, public
nuisance. The judge finds:
after careful consideration of the
interesting and important points on the
argument and an examination of the
numerous authorities, 1 do not feel
justified in declaring the act in question
invalid
There are number of other actions
depending on the decision of the case,
and it is now probable that proceedings
will be commenced against number of
hotels and large buildings in the city
which have furnaces and large smoke
stacks On which smoke consumers are
not used,

months. That all proceedings required
by the city charter have been taken to-
ward changing the grade of Broad

been fully advised OF the construction
of the bridge. and has made no attempt
at interference with the progress there
of. Both the Robert street and Smith
avenue bridges were built without the
approval of the secretary. The defense
further alleges that the bridge contracts
were let to Kirkland d Starkey, as re-
quired by charter. and as required by
law. at total cost of S350.00O. 1t is

The report shows that there are in the
library 1S,455 volumes, of which 1,2SO
were added by purchase, 527 were do
mated, and 74S acquired by exchange
since the last report was made. The
number of persons using the library
from July 81. 1883. to July 81, 1890. was
9,270. The librarian suggests that an
appropriation be made for adding a gal
lery to the northeast room of the library,
which at present is very much cramped.
The report of the proceedings of the
Association of State Librarians, held at
st. Louis, Mo-, in May, 1889, is attached
to the report of the librarian. The con-
vention passed series of resolutions
suggesting that the various states should
