A curious system of fines obtains in Ger
many. People are fined for every curious
little alleged o~ifense An estimable lady
went out for a walk last week in the old
part at Hanover. Wandering about in the
quaint. narrow streets she lost her way,
and. being unable TO speak German or
to find "A cab. she meandered wildly
hither and tbither until at last she found
herself in a remote suburb quite in the
country.

field, but vas speedily overhauled
by a native. who implied by his
tones and gestures that she was COM
hitting n grave ~oifense. To make a long
and a narrowing story short, this estima-
BILE lady was ultimately compelled to pay
a fine OF three marks for trespassing upon
the private property OF a suburban
farmer.
Boys are fined for playing games in the

DANCED HIMSELF TO DEATH.
Remarkable Effect Of the Bite Of "a Texa.
Insect.

IS Ha''S s''''s VI ~ ~ ANSH~
Insect.
Old stories of the bite of the tarantula
including an uncomfortable desire to
dance have been called to mind here by
the death of little Maurice Benton, son
OF Lemuel Benton, a prominent lawyer,
which occurred yesterday, says a Texas
letter to the Philadelphia Times. The
little fellow had been playing on the lawn
of his fathers residence and ran in 10
his mother complaining that something
has stuck in his bare 100. The member
was examined by Mrs. Benton and a small
red wound, such as IA large-sized needle
might have punched, vas found, but was
accompanied by no swelling, and but lit
tie pain; so. applying a little camphor to
the place, his mother thought 10 more
of il.
During the night, however. she was
aroused by the child's uneasiness and
complaining, so she took him out of his
bed and to her horror discovered that the
entire limb had turned "a purplish black.
A physician was ~sent'for but before he ar
rived tho boy was in commissions of SO
peculiar IA character that the doctor at
once suspected the presence of some un-
usual poison. The spasms seemed con-
fined to his limbs, which were SO violently
and continuously convulsed as to keep
the child dancing up and down, throwing
is arms wildly aad twitching its fingers.
These painful c%ontortions lasted until the
little fellow sank exhausted and uncon-
scious i'm which state he remained all the
next day, dying m the evening.
The body was perfectly livid, with great
spots OF discoloration nearly black on the
limbs and stomach, while a peculiar fun
gus growth made its appearance between
the parted lips. The physicians were
much puzzled to for the case, as
the limb was SO swollen as To render any
examination of the wound impossible,
but old settlers say that from the descrip-
ton of IL and The commissions produced il
was undoubtedly caused by the bite of n
tarantula. These deadly creatures have
grown very rare in these parts. so they
were not at first thought Of i'm connection
with the case.

WASHINGTON.

What's i'm a name? A California real
estate dealer named Hoodwink has been
held TO answer on n charge of forgery.
Ii is not often that name and nature so
perfectly correspond, says the Tacoma
Ledger.
The Ellensburgh LocoiizeI, referring to
the depredations of horsethieves in Yak
lima county, says: The superstition is that
the thieves who hid the stealing are of an
organized band who nave their headquar-
tiers in Idaho. Quite likely, and the next
thing perhaps they will make invasions
into this country on "A similar raid. Idaho
is a heavy loser from this band of ma
RAIDERS. They have been carrying on
their Defarious business for several years.
The Yakima Herald says: 1t is now
pretty well understood that old chief Hi
heny, whose body was found on Rock
creek, klickitat county, was murdered by
the same four indian who were arrested
two years ago for the murder of Chief Yell
iowash. Old Hiheny was a medicine man,
and was threatened with death If he did
not make the snow 60 off but his canta-
tons were without avail n the ndian
suffered great loss of stock. This evil
IDENTITY ranked in their breasts. and when
the opportunity came they disposed Of
him i'm conformance with their sense of
duty. They believe a medicine man has
the power to heal the sick, To driye away
the snow, TO propitiate the Deity to the
extent of sending rain TO make the grass
rich for their ponies, or TO induce IA plen-
tiful run of salmon and anne. IL they
fail in these respects, they are i'm league
with the bad one and have no right to
live. At least dozen medicine men have
bee murdered in Yakima and Kick
itat counties during the past five
years. II is almost impossible to
make a conviction, rs Indian tes-
timony is an uncertain quantity,
the mouth of q witness being easily sealed
by h gift Of a cayuse or two and the
grief and demands for justice Of the
stricken relatives can be appeased in a
similar way. The wonder is that the pro-
fession Of them medicine man is not extinct
and that any can be found to take up the
calling, but the power il confers overrides
the fear of an early death with moccasins
on, and new doctors" are never lacking
to take the place of those who are sum
moned to the spirit land before their
natural time.

There is n point in favor Of athletics
which cannot be disputed, an athlete can
never be an anarchist. The New York Sun
assigns as n reason that he is too fond of
cold water. Herr Most would have had a fit

nent athletes practicing at the grounds of
the national athletic club, at Ridgewood
park, took last Sunday to obtain the lux
ury of a bath. One of these athletes was

trains would be run to-day. The police
arrangements remaining the same sS

Vice President Webb contradicied the
statement made last night that the
firemen had struck. He declured that
all passenger trains running. were
fully manned. Everything he de-.
clared was In fine shape Ill along the
road except ut Syracuse, where proper
protection bad not been accorded. He
bad teIegraphed to Gov. Hill f,r

were being perfected for moving
