Broke the Bell.


In tbs days of the chestnut bell lot
VI us were waiting at Trenton for the
Long Branch train, and one of the men
began telling about his experience on a
wrecked vessel in mid Atlantic. Near
by, on a passengers trunk, sat 8. pale
faced, weary eyed young man of twenty
summers, who was going down 70 the
Branch with his ma. He wore a CHESTNUT
bell, and this was perhaps the frs time
he had had chance to ring it. The
gentleman was proceeding with his story
when ting-a-ling. went the bel. He
stopped and looked around, and then
continued, but after half minute the
young man belled him up again The
man looked annoyed but went or, and
during the quarter of an hour he was
talking that bell rang about fifteen times
When he had finished he looked over to
the weary young man and asked:
What is that bell for?'
"Chestnuts," was the reply.
'.How do you mean?"
''Why, you know, when you hear any
thing old u-ting-a-ling on the bell"
''Oh, you do. | guess I'll try it once "
He got up, shook the young man out of
his coat and collar at the first shake, and
then whirled him around, ended HIM up,
and gave him toss over heap Of bag
gage. The bell boy got up covered with
dust and a wreck, the bell broken by the
shock and his collar hanging by ore end,
| and as he disappeared into the ladies'
room we heard his mother exclaim:
why, darling, didn't | warn you to
| look out for the LOCOMOTIVES"
And the man who had told the story
| added:
BEST to take such cases at the start
| and administer strong medicine. He
might have rung that bell on somebody
who'd have got mad and damaged him
beyond repair. New York Sun.

case of the death of member, his wife
receives $50. The speaker also gave
the experience of the Rock Island union,

The Benign wi.ohery of Candle Light

Their are so many women who have passed
their first youth who appear at the balls in
New York and receive the devoted attention
of men for whom they must entertain most
grandmotherly interest, that the question of
light has become a most important one, so
Iiiese foxy caterers 10 the female complexion
have taken leaf out of French books and
lighted their rooms with candles, the silver
candelabra being set in the walls SO that the
light falls from the side, not above, while
pretty little huted petticoats of rose silk
shade the colored candles A side light, es-
pecially il it is rose tinted takes ten years
from n womans age. No wonder we are in
favor Of abolishing the deadly electric lamps
and the flaming gas, if wax candles are such
thieves of time.-Hartford Couraut.

A Second Attempt to Take His owr

A Second Attempt to Take His Own
Life.
HAVANA, June 10th.-The Seneca, of the
Ward line, arrived yesterday morning,
having on board the French inspectors who
are after Eyraud.
The authorities are glad to get rid of
Eyraud, who is white elephant on their
hands. As already cabled, he cut himself
severely with glass from his eyeglass. Last
Thursday he asked for some soap. His
manner was suspicious and he was
searched, when rope was found concealed
on his person. He had torn his shirt and
made rope, fixed moose and then soaped
it.
Eyraud is now in cell absolutely bare
of furniture and sleeps on stone floor.
Five soldiers in semi-circle peer in at the
door every moment. The detectives are
not allowed to see him, and Evraud does
not know they are here. The Spanish
authorities are fearful that he will dash
his brains out if he finds that the officers
have come He will be handed over to
them at the last moment and put on the
French steamer Lafayette, bound to st.
Nazaire, thence by train direct to Paris.
There is but one opilion-that the de-
tectives will never get Eyraud to Paris
alive. 1t is regarded as certain that he
will fling himself from the boat or refuse
food. The detectives are clever and deter
mined. They will manacle him in his
siateroom, one watching him always The
next step in the 'ragedy is awaited here
with much interest.

Another Victim OF so-called sparring
Matches.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 1Oth.-About noon
to-day Bernard Meyer, a barber, who is not
working at present, called at the Office of
Chief Crowley, and asked to be permitted
to see the body of Mcbride, who was killed
at the Golden Gate Club last night. A few
questions uncovered the fact that he was
one of La Rue's seconds, and accordingly
he was marched below and booked for
murder. He says that he knew neither of
the two men, but got the "up'' on the fight
in Stockton-street saloon. Accordingly
be went up, and seeing three men back of
Mcbride, and only two back of La Rue, he
went over to La Rue's corner and assisted
in tanning him. In his cell at the prison,
where he was seen by reporter, he was
very cheerful, and treated the whole mat
ter as q very huge joke.
About o'clock James J.. Jamison, Sec
retary of the club, surrendered himself. He
was placed under arrest, but had not been
booked at 2:30 o'clock. The delay was
probably in order to enable him to get
bonds.
About 2 o'clock officer Mclaughlin ar
rested Joe Bowers, the pugilist, on O'Far-
rel street, and booked him for murder.
When Bowers saw the officer approaching
he ran at full speed for several blocks, and
was caught in front of the Orpheum. He
said, when asked why he ran away, that
he wished to go to the club before being
arrested. After which he intended giving
himself up. The police are now looking
for man named Murphy. who seconded
