FlOated, but Died.

The story OF fat man who fell
overheard in New York harbor and
foated around for an hour or two
until he was mistaken for q whale
and towed to shore nnhurt has set
the old watermen and wharfmen all
agog with reminiscent talk. They
tellpeculiar tales ofhappenings to fat
men which have occurred under their
eye, and in which they took a part.
John McCIain, the veteran watch
man on the Thomas Clyde pier,
above Chestnut, told number of in
cidents concerning the floating tend
encies of fat men.
During the war Mr.. McClain was a
night Waterman on the piers at
Washington avenue. One dark night
government receiving vessel came
up the river, and when it neared the
Washington pier two sailors jumped
overheard to make their escape.
One was. a gigantic fellow and the
other q man of medium size.
Before jumping overheard the fat
man fastened 5000 in double gold
eagles in leather belt which was
strapped around his waist. Hecould
not swim a stroke. When lie touch
ed the water he foundered around,
but did not sink. Shortly afterward
tremendous swell carried him un-
der the pier, where he was knocked
senseless by the piling. When the
body was found, several honrs after
ward, it was not at the bottom of
the stream, but plump against the
planks of the pier, with the head
above the water. The man never
sank, but was drowned while insen-
sible. Superstitious sailors conclud-
ed that it was the gold thatkept him
on the top of the river.-Philadel-

Gaining Reputation With Ease.
A South Carolina physician, ask

"It is first rate place for a doctor.
If a man is sick all you have to do is
to tell his friends (no matter whether

He knew he must die, and so had his

in Washington Street Cars,

1t is very odd to see the white men
in a car eagerly scan the face of a
lady who enters, and who is unable
to find seat. If she is at all dark
the chances are a seat will not be
readily forthcoming. The men are
staring at her, and as soon as they
have concluded she has no African

seats than she has need of. But if

flowing. Tonight Carleton reappears at
the Grand after long absence. His
season will prove very remunerative to
all concerned.
The opening opera will be Offenbach's
Brigands. This is the opera with which
Mr.. Carleton entered into a direct and
successful competition with the Casino
in New York. The San Francisco Ex-
aminer of last Monday contained the
appended criticism:
"The music of the opera is in Often
bach's best vein, and the action is
bright and lively. Dealing with Ital-
ians, it's costumes are naturally pictur-
esque, and the blending of outlawry
with court circles throws certain ro-
nance about the characters. Clara
Lane has seldom appeared to better ad-
vantage than as the Brigand's daughter,
Florell. Her rich and sympathetic voice
has scope for display both in solo and
concerted numbers. Mr.. Carleton sang
and acted with his old-time breezy
vigor, his best number being Molly's
song of 1.-The Three Beggars," which
was introduced in the second act. Bige-
low made hit in this act in a catchy
topical song, which he sang and acted
like an artist There was no undue
striving for effects, but unctuous humor
and comical expressions. The second
act, with it's solos and ensembles, is as
pretty series of operate gems as one
finds in comic opera. The precision
with which the ensembles are presented
shows the patient and conscientious
work of the manager and the intelligence
of the minor people. One delightful
number was participated in by Clara
Wisdom, Marian Langdon, j. K. Muir
ray and others of the household of the
Princess of Grenada" Every move
ment in this act would have been en-
cored if it had stood by itself in an ordi-
nary performance. Les Brigande will be
continued for the week, with the ex-
ception of Thursday and Friday even
ings, when Dorothy and The Mikado
will be repeated by general request.

CARRIED OFF CARRIE.
LITTLE MAY CLAUSSEN'S TALE OF
WOE ABOUT HER SISTER.
A Coupe Driver Takes Fifteen Year
Old Girl From Her Home by Threats
and Disappears With Her.

A twelve-year-old girl named May
Claussen, whose little pocket handker-
chief was soaked with tears, and whose
eyes were red with weeping, called at
the police office at O'Clock last night to
appeal for her sister, who she alleged
had been kidnapped. She said that
about three months ago, young man
who has a club foot, roomed with them
for one week at their home No. 205
Boyd street.
This clubfooted man is a hack-driver
whose first name is Albert, but the little
girl did not know his other name. She
says that Albert has been driving coupe
No. 16, but that yesterday afternoon at
5 O'Clock he called at their house with a
hack and had conversation with her
15-year-old sister, whose name is Carrie.
After while the hackman told Carrie
to get into the hack or he would kill
her. May, who had been listening to
the conversation, then ran into the
house very much frightened. The hack
driver succeeded in getting the sister
into his hack, and drove off with her.
This was the last seen of the couple.
Detective Bosqui started out to investi-
gate the matter Immediately. The
name of the festive Albert is Rasmus.
He now drives hack 35 OF the City Cab
company. About three months ago this
same man was shot in the neck on
Main street car by an irate husband.
His associates of the Jehu tribe say that
he became invisible early yesterday
afternoon. He cannot have gone far
with the young woman, who is described
as very tall and stout for her age, and
she can easily dispose of her crippled
and puny abductor. The I. X L. stables
on Main street, where Rasmus' hack is
kept at night, reported that he left it
there at p. m. and then went away.
