Tricked with Treasury Notes.

One of those men who is never salts
fed unless he is grumbling met another
man of the same disposition few days
ago in New York and got "done up" in
the vernacular of the sporting world.
There didn't happen to be any cards
about, or dice, or any of the other ap :
planes made for the accommodation of
sporting blood, and so the gentlemen
concluded to match pennies. This grew
tiresome after bit, and one Of the men
produced roll of bills and offered to
bet his companion that he couldn't
guess whether the last figure on the
number of each bill was odd or even for
dollar clip.
"Ill do it if you'll tell me the series
of each bill," was the reply.
This was agreed to, and in a very
short time the man who had made the
proposition had lost all his money. A
private investigation made by him
shortly afterward revealed the fact that
his friend had cleverly outwitted him
for he discovered that the last figure of
the number of series A and G were
odd, and that of B and D were even.

An Abstemious Millionaire.

d. Edgar Grouse, who has achieved
some celebrity as the owner of the most
gorgeous stable on earth, entered Del
monico's, in New York, the other night
with slight young man who looked
like an Italian courier. Mr.. Grouse is
short of stature and very stout. He has
a great many million dollars, but not
enough to warrant him in taking glass
of champagne. His physicians have
forbidden the use of wines of all kinds,
and the diet of the Syracuse millionaire
is as simple as that of any laboring man
in the land. His companion al Delmon
icO'S is his companion everywhere. The
young man is sortof general factotmu,
without whom Mr.. Grouse never stirs
abroad. The two men ate in absolute
silence, except when the millionaire was
approached by brokers, spectators,
agents or schemers of various sorts on
the lookout for commissions OF anything
else that might be lying around loose.
All of these men approached the table
with joyful and beaming smiles and
outstretched hands. Mr.. Grouse nodded
to them, and after listening half-ab-
sently to their messages shook his head
and turned his attention again to his
dinner.

Recovery of Lost Freight Car.

Many queer stories are told of the
wanderings of freight cars and the
trials of car accountants in keeping
strack of the equipments of their road.
An incident given in the Marquette
Mining Journal relative to this subject
is worth producing. For months box
car, that for present purposes may be
known as No. LASS, has been bothering
the man who keeps track of the cars on
the South Shore road. He has traced it
to certain station, and there all track
Of it was lost In the mountainous re-
gion of the far West a car has been
known to tumble down precipice, and
thus become lost. but here such thing
could not happen. The subject of the
mysterious car grew upon his mind to
such an extent that he determined to
find that car or perish in the attempt.
Accordingly he went few weeks ago
to the station at which place the car
was last heard from and started after
the truant box car. Coming down the
line to point but few miles above
Ishpeming. he went in on branch to a
mine that is a small shipper. and where
the track is not kept open in winter.
Getting a mile or so out on the branch,

An Elephant on the Track.

An elephant made matters lively a
few days ago all along the Conemaugh.
The Forepaugh show was at Johnstown,
Pa. After the performance the train
was loaded and started for Tyrone.
Above South Fork the engine stopped
for a supply of water. Here one of the
largest elephants in the herd es-
capped from the car in which he
was locked up. The show people were
all sleeping. Once out of the car he
started down the track toward Johns
town. The ''oyster express" which ar
rives at Pittsburg about Z o'clock, came
laundering down the track, when the
engineer noticed something unusual
ahead of him. Thinking it was rock,
he whistled down brakes and the train
had barely time to slacken up when he
saw the object get Off on the other track,
square up and prepare for battle. 1t
was the elephant. None of the crew
had any desire to cultivate his acquaint-
ance. The train stopped few minutes
and went On, leaving the huge brute
standing on the other track. A train
man who came in later on the following
train said that when they were coming
down they were told that the elephant
had routed band of track workmen
and they had takeBkto the hills. Sew
eral trains had the same experience as
the express. As soon as possible the
circus people were notified, special
car was sent on and the animal was re-
captured unframed.

ROMANCES IN REAL LIFE.

In New York hangs striking and
lovely canvas representing figure of a
woman standing with her back to the
spectator and no clothes worth mention
ing, her golden head turned gracefully
so as to reveal the clear beauty of pure
Greek profile. The grace and splendid
tintings of the woman have made this
picture the object of great admiration
from visitors, and the handsome young
artist that is its author has at once be-
came famous by masterpiece that owes
quite as much to its daring conception
as to it's effective realization. The most
interesting part of the picture to the
artist is that it was sold few days ago
at the painters own figure, which was
very intmiGating one. The next day
after 1t was sold an agitated young
woman dashed into the studio of the
artist and began pacing up and down
like a tigeress.
do you know what you have done?"
she cried, wringing her pretty hands.
The artist replied that he was not
aware of having done anything he was
ashamed of.
''You have sold that picture of me to
my own husband"
The artist staggered backward, knock
ing over his paint box and upsetting his
easel.
"Your husbandp' exclaimed he.
"Have you got husband?"
"Of course [ have. My husband is
old MI. B, and he bought the pict-
ure."
"Why," demanded the artist, ''didn't
You tell me you had husband be-
fore?"
'Oh, never mind why" replied the
beauty. "There are hundred why's.
Ny husband will give $1,000 for pict-
ure or cracked old vase, but he won't
give me $40 for new hat when | want
it. Besides, l desired to see myself on
canvas. But why did you sell him the
picture?" went on the girl.
"There. don't be silly" replied the
artist. "He offered me my price and l
took it. That is all there is to the mat
ter. should think you would prefer
to have the picture in your own house,
anyway. Your husband doesn't recog
nize it, l suppose. There is really no
likeness in the face"
mo-" said the girl. ''but he did say
that the turn of the head was just like
me. 1t embarrasses me, though, to
stand and look at it with him. 1t seems
almost as though he was bound to guess
the truth"

w. ID. Thomas has resigned the position
of assistant purchasing agent of the Central
railroad, and his place has been filed by r.
7. Pace of Montgomery. Mr.. Thomas has
been q long time with the Central. and was
one of its most popular employees. He was
thoroughly posted in the department from
which he resigned He was q favorite
among his fellow employees, who regrette
to see him leave It is understood that he
will go into business for himself
A telegraph station will be established in
few days by the Central railroad at the
one mile post, where trains going from the
wharf here may receive their orders. A
good many trains rumout from the wharf
now, and it is inconvenient for them to get
orders from the main offices of the Central
without considerable delay. No trains ex-
cept those running out from the wharf will
get orders from the new station.
Trains coming into the city will get orders
there on special occasions. Trains going
out from the yards procure orders from the
main offices.
A director of the Richmond and West
Point Terminal company is quoted in New
York as saying: "Whlle the time may not
be ripe for any immediate advance in Ell her
the common or preferred stock, things are
shaping themselves that way. We have
about cleaned up all old matters and we
are now considering the proposition which
shall put at the back oftiie collateral bonds
that which will take care of our floating
debt. 1t will be recalled that at the time
we purchased the Georgia Central railroad
company, which took something like
$4,000, 900, the money was subscribed by the
directors of the company, and negotiations
are now on foot looking to the wiping out
of this debt after which quite little squirt
may be looked for in the various securities
of our company"

AN INDIAN PEDDLER's LUCK

a Trinket Seller Puts Too Much Faith
IN Woman's Promise to Pay.
The Indian peddlsr is continually getting
into trouble in Savannah. Notwithstand-
ing they are cheated and swindIed they
continue to carry on their business Their
class of customers is for the most part poor
people. and many of them are disposed to
take advantage of the peddler's ignorance.
In the majority of cases which the
police have to deal with of this
character women are the swindlers.
Not long ago two women were
arrested in the southeastern part of the city
upon charge of Selling articles from the
baskets of two peddlers, and yesterday
another case came before the notice of a
railroad policeman on West Broad street.
A peddler appealed to the officer to arrest a
woman who had cheated him. He said that
he sold her on West Broad street So worth
OF trinkets with the understanding that she
was to pay him for them yesterday. The
woman refused to pay him and would not
allow him to take the articles back. The
officer accompanied the peddler to where
the woman was. As soon as she
saw the officer she ran into
her room. The policeman asked
her If she bad purchased anything from the
peddler. She said that she never saw the
the man before. Ihe peddler produced a
piece Of paper which he said the woman
gave him, and upon it was written the
name of Mrs. THOMPSON, No. 800 West
Broad street. The officer asked the woman
If her name was Thompson and she replied
no. The officer noticed that her number
was not 300 and he told the peddler that he
was certainly mistaken. The Indian re-
piled, shaking his head and gesticulatine
wildly:
''Dis de strate, dis de 'ouse and dis de
woman
The officer told him If he
could prove that the woman had taken the
articles to go and take out a warrant. The
officer went TO the next house and found out
what the woman's real name was and in
structed the peddler how to proceed. The
woman peeped through the blinds and
heard it all, and before the peddler had got
away she beckoned him to come back and
she returned him the articles she had
bought.
