Tragedy in a French Village.

London Daily Telegraph.
That Old World tragedy in which the
Montagues and Capulets played promi-
nent part has been revived in real life,
the scene being laid in a French village.
At RiOtard, in the department of the
Loire, lived two families-the Celettes
and the BalandrandS-al the male men,

with each other. When they met at
local fairs they sometimes had regular
DOnnybrook day, and neither mayor,
priest nor schoolmaster could effecta rec
onciliation between the rival clans. Sud-
denly, however, a young Ballandrand
fell in love with Catharine GILLETTE,
whom he met at rustic ball. The
lovers after this arranged secret meet
see one another. The affair came to the
ears of old Gillette, who, with his two
sons, Francois and Jean-Baptiste, way
laid young Ballandrand one night, MUIR
dered him, and threw his body into a
pond. Celette'S Son-in-law kept watch
while the crime was being perpe-
trated. but a cOuntryman called
Bergeron heard Ballandrand's cries
for help and saw his two aggressors
throw him into the water. Bergeron
also overheard one of the Celettes tell

he was sure that old GILLETTE cried out,

silent for several months, but he at last

his brother-in-iaw have been individual

Drilling in the Water.

New York Sun.
The general-lieutenant of the Zooriy-
sky regiment conceived the idea of
trying the efficiency of the "Okhotniks"
"a sort of athletic division) in his COM
mand. He ordered company of sixty
seven men to swim across the Volga in
place where the river is over one and
half versts wide, with two officers at
the head and one in the rear. The whole
company acquitted themselves of the
task creditably. The feat was performed
toward the evening. When the swim
mers had made about third of the
distance steamer was noticed coming
on them at full speed. The officer at the
faces upward" and was obeyed as
promptly as if on the parade grounds.
The company waited until the steamer
passed, and then proceeded until they
reached the opposite shore. The swim
backward was performed without inter-

Why Peddler Visited a Barber

why Peddler Visited a Barber
Shop Twice.
New York Sun.
A withered up old man with very
sharp eyes entered a barber shop near
the Lotus club the other day carrying a
small tray.
Anything in my line to-day, gentle
men? Fish-hooks, corn cure, hair re-
stOrer, nail brushes, everything to make
life happy" he called out in a cracked
voice. There were half dozen men in
the shop, and as he called out his wares
he looked questioningly at the proprie-
tor. The barber coughed loudly. and
the old man closed up his tray without
waiting for purchases.
"Glad you're all so well to-day, gen.
tlemen," said he, and he went out.
An hour later he entered the shop and
again announced his wares. The pro-
priet0r glanced at the men in the chairs
and then said that he guessed it was all
right. The little mans tray closed with
snap. He produced number of lot
terry tickets, and tor few minutes his
business was brisk. The friends of one
OF the BARRIERS had made up ten-dollar
pool to invest in the lottery, and several
men in the chairs bought tickets. The
proprietOr's cough when the man en-
tered before was danger signal. One
of Inspector Byrnes' men was in his
chair.

time ago Pension Commissioner Raum
asked authority from the superintend-
