I.Rmb-LiIke Innocence.

heard the other night two good and true stories going to prove the lamb like innocence that may be found in this great town. A we1l-known editorial writer on an afternoon paper was ad- vised by the financial editor to get to- gether what money he could find and buy a certain stock. The editorial writ CT did as he was advised, and in due course sold out by his friends advice, at an advance of fifteen. Well, how much did you buy?" asked the financial editor, cheerfully, after the transaction was finished. "Oh," said the other, two bonds" The financial editor was aghast and dumb for a moment, and then he exclaimed: Great Jupiter, man, meant that you should buy mar gins" But his innocent friend had never heard of margins Quite as funny in its way was the guilelsssnsss of aD- other editor, who, on visiting . friend on the cotton exchange, was told by the latter that he had bought one thousand bales of cotton that day. The layman looked about his friend small office, called to mind his moderate-sizea apart ments up town, and said: "Whsre in thunder are you going to put it9"-N. Y. Star.

Career of L. A. Robinson Who was
 Found Dead in Brooklyn.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7-L. A. Robinson. who was found dead in his bed in Brook lyn, was a retired millionaire tanner, anI, made the most of his fortune near Hop es. dale, Pa, where he owned and condv cted for many years what was for a lony, time the largest tannery in the world. When hemlock bark became exhausted here abouts, he abandoned the tay,nery and retired from business.
 He made his home at the St Nicholas Hotel, New York, for years, and about 20 years ago brought & suit against the proprietors of that hotel which led to the passage of the present law of New York State limiting and defining the responsi- bility of hotel keepers as to the property of guests. Thieves had entered Mr. Roblnson's room in the hotel and money and valuables amounting to several thousands of dollars were stolen.
 MT. Robinson sued the proprietors of the St. Nicholas Hotel to recover the value of the stolen property. The case was carried to the court of last resort, and was decided in favor of Mr. Robin son. This established q precedent that led to the passage of the present hotel law.
 MT. Robinson left an estate worth $7,OO0,OOO. His uncle, the Hon. k. P. Strong, himself a wealthy tanner of Starrucea, this county, inherits 1000, ,OO0 of it. The remainder is divided among seven other uncles. The tannery where MT. Robinson made his money, five miles from Honesdale, was burned to the ground few years ago, and the spot has grown up thick with underbrush, and is . retreat for wild animals.
