A GOLD NECKLACE

Was solid. But Ii Came Sear Breaking
Up an Engagement
a young man entered a iewelry store
on Pennsylvania avenue, and IL a very
excited manner demanded to see the
proprietor. His cOuntenance Indicated
a storm, and it was not slow in making
its appearance
II thought you sold me this necklace
for solid gold It's nothing of the kind
It's a fraud a perfect fraud stormed
the young man. Il paid you a sufi-
GENTLY large price to have it of solid
gold of the purest grade, but it is moth
ing but brass, and if you don't refund
my money there viii be trouble"
Young man, just calm yourself
said the jeweler, and if you can prove
that the necklace is not 1s-l1arat gold,
will gladly give you double the price
Now, tell me, what is the trouble?''
1T is simply this. I gave that neck
lace to my fiance, and il has resulted in
nearly breaking off the engagement
The first time she wore il the miserable
thing blaclzened her neck before 1t had
been on two hours The young lady
was attending a cOtilliOn at the time
and she is fearfully mortified over 1t,
for she declares that every girl in the
room must have noticed the black
marks made on her throat by my latest
present. She naturally concluded that
/ 1, like my gift, was a fraud The only
way I could make peace was to show
/ her by the amount of your bill that
/ had paid sufficient 20 insure it being
solid gold"
| That is what I thought" replied the
| ieweIer The fault Is not with the
/ necklace, but with the young lady her
| self. You viii find that during the
| course of her life she has taken a great
deal of strong medicine containing Ger
tain minerals, the effects OF which re-
! main in the system for years such a
| person cannot wear gold next TO the
| skin. for the minerals in the system Will
find their way through the pores OF the
skin with the PersPiration. and even in

| leave a darlz-cOiOred mark on the skin
OF the fairest woman if she Is 50 unfor-
! tunate as to have much of these metallic
! medicines in her system
The dealer then convinced the Gus

as represented, but refunded his money
! as he said u would be useless for the
young lady 70 attempt 20 wear the Orna-
ment without having a repetition Of hex

To a reporter the jegyeler explained
that such cases were quite frequent, but
not so much as formerly, because physi-
clans are in a great measure dlscOntinu-
ing in their practice the use of calOmel
and other like drugs in which chloride
OF mercury enters as factor This
mineral, he said, acts more powerfully

Until the full returns come in we
shall always think that Arlington is en-
titled to the cake for the possession of
the biggest whiskey drinker in America,
That is, she possessed HIM till last Sat
urday night when he drank over fifteen
bottles of whislley, in a space of two or
thres hours and then the stuff did not
"set' well on his stomach or something
snd he fell asleep to wake in land
where he'll need a whole hogshead of
water to quench his thirst and won't
get it. His name was John Tehan and
he was an OLD logging camp hand. He
was attacked with violent spasms and in
spite OF all a doctor could do he died two
or three hours after having loaded up,
frothing at the mouth.

The state board of equalization is
complaining that some of the assessors
have returned a ridiculously small num-
Der of poll taxes. This shows that the
gentlemen composing the board never
had any experience collecting poll taxes.
If they had had they never would say
word about, them. The law that re-
quires an assessor to collect poll tax
of one dollar from all male inhabitants,
not exempt, between the ages of 21 and
80 is in every way ridiculous and absurd.
The law makes it the duty of the assessor
to collect it but gives him no power to
do SO. Ii man refuses to pay the tax
it is the duty Of the assessor to report
forthwith 10 the sheriff and it then be-
comes the sheriff's duty to travel a
hundred miles, if need be, to collect that
single dollar. thing that nobody in his
senses would expect that official to do,
especially as he would have to make the
trip at his own expense. Then the
assessor is confronted with this difficulty.
If he attempts to collect from everybody
nti;.sc 10 pay, the cost to the county

will overcome the profit, not to say that
few assessors have the time to waste
running after dollars they have no GER
tainty of finding. If the assessor does
the best he can it will amount to this,
and no more; Those who are willing to
pay the tax, pay it and the rest go free.
This of course, does not apply to per-
sons who pay a property tax. In all
such cases the poll tax is added to the
other tax on the assessment roll. In a
word the poll tax law is "a farce. In
half the instances or nearly so, it cannot
be collected at all. 1t thus lacks the
equality and uniformity demanded in a
just law. 1t should be abolished or the
amount increased to sum worth spend
ing the time to collect and the assessor
given full authority of law to collect it,
but better in our opinion abolish it alto
gether.

Ask. So. 900 for sitting on a Tack.


A great many suits have been entered
against the Traction company, but. the
queerest one of all has been instituted
by Otto Kramer, who sues it for 50 900
damages, the result of sitting down upon
a tack. The statement which Mr. Kra-
mer makes regarding the casualty is
rather incomplete. He found the tack
in the cane seat of car. The manner
of finding the tack was simple but eff
fective. Mr.. Kramer went into the car
and sat right down upon the tack. He
probably got right up again, although
this fact is not mentioned in the court
statement, but the damage had been
done. The wound he suffered led to alb
ceSses.
The tack could not have been of the
ordinary carpet variety, aseit protruded
up through the bottom of the seat, and
protruded very badly at that. Mr..
Kramer did not give the number of the
car in his statement, and, therefore,
there is no means of knowing whether
that particular tack has been driven back
to a place of safety or whether it is still
lurking for unconscious victims.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Noble Deed of a Tramp.

Rarely indeed is anything seen in the
papers to the credit of the genus tramp,
but it is likely that many of them are as
brave as Thomas Burns, whose prompt
and daring deed recently saved the life
of a little Italian girl, and shamed hun
dreds who inactively witnessed the Incl
dent. She had fallen into the fountain
of the City Hall park, New York city.
Crowds of well dressed people saw her
peril, but not one of them made an effort
to save her. They stared in speechless
dismay, some Of them probably thinking
that water might injure their garments,
when Thomas Burns, whose attire de-
noted him to be of the tramp order, hur-
riedly made his way to the front, plung-
ed in and saved the imperiled child,
whose unconscious body already lay at
the bottom of the fouDtain.-Ya Yankee

They have gritty Chinese minister
in the Corean peninsula. A report
gained currency there to the effect that
the present reigning family was about
to enter into secret treaty wita Russia
the chief provision of which was that,
'thse country was to obtain protectorate
Over Corea and Port Hamilton be ceded
to it for coaling station. As soon as
the Chinese representative got into pos
session of the secret he promptly called
on the Corean prime minister and told
him to stop this foolishness else he would
seize the whole Corean ministry, bag and
baggage. ''tie them up' and pack them
off to China. 1t was no idle threat for
six years ago the same Chinaman- seized
the kings father.and sent him into exile
in China and here for the present the
protectorate' business ends.

A Home ON !. Canalboat.

Lying on the opposite side of the pier
from the Arrow line steamship Howard
Cassard is the floating home of Captain
L. Leonard and family, of Buffalo It
is a canalboat, old and weather beaten,
but strong and seaworthy. One end is
fitted up as living quarters, with kitch-
en-, dining room and bedrooms, and
there Captain Leonard, his wife and
two children pass their time. The rooms
are cozy and home1ike, and from the
ceiling of the dining room are suspended
cages containing mocking bird and
little canary. a pet thoroughbred Skye
terrier romp5 with the children or leaps
in mischievous play at the cages contain
ing the birds.
Farther back in the boat is little
playroom used by the children. It con-
tains their dolls and playthings, and also
two pet white rabbits, which leap about
as gayly as though they were free. At
the other end of the boat stable room
has been fitted up for pair of horses,
used by their owner on the towpath,
and large, white Chester pig. The lat
ter is thoroughbred, direct from Ire
land. The mother of the pig and the
little one were received by Captain
Leonard in June. The mother weighed
over 300 pounds and was beautiful
specimen of hog flesh. She was sold to
q stock farmer in New York, and, if
she lives, will be shown at the Worlds
fair in 1893. The pig bids fair to outdo
the mother, and at three months weighs
over 100 pounds.
The horses and pig get along well
enough together, but the little terrier
dares not show his head in the stable
from fear of ''Biddy," the pig. Captain
Leonard and his boat are from the Erie
canal, New York state. In July he
went into New York and got charter
to Philadelphia, and thence to this port
Baltimore American.

The prospect for peaceful times in the
Sandwich Islands is not promising The
islands seem to be infested with set of
professional revolutionists who, it may
be believed, are working the. game of
overthrowing the government, for all
there is in it, for themselves. One of
them at the Washington end of the line
says "the revolution will be sprung
when Mr.. Blaine gives assurance that
the United States will not be allowed to
Interfere which appears to mean that
the reyolutionists want permission to
demolish what they call the 'smean,
rapacious, cruel, hypocriticaI and tyran-
7nieal missionary ring and their tool the
queen" 1t is safe to say that Mr.. Blaine
will give these professional revolutionists
no such assurance

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 21.-Rev. DIR. Tul-
Illus C. Upper. rector Of st. Phillips Episco-
pal church, who is one of the leading figures
in some very sensational stories published
in various parts of the country during the
past ten DAYS, left at Z: As O'Clock this even
ing for Leavenworth, Kan. Another chap
ter to the doctors ill-starred domestic life is
about to be added. He goes to Leavsn-
worth to meet his wife, and il possible,
effect a reconciliation and prevail upon her
to return with him to Atlanta It will be
remembered that the breach between DIR.
declaring that she was about to institute
suit against a Mrs. Van Derwerker, who
visited the doctors home while she Mrs.
Tupper) lived apart from him in Leaven-
worth, for alternating her husbands affec-
/ lions. With the sensational rumors con-
corning DR.. Upper and Mrs. Van Derwerker
the public is familiar.
ONE OF THE THEORIES.
1t is proper to state that all the trouble is
attributed to Mrs. Tupper's weak mental
condition, and that generally DR.. Tupper's
uprightness and Christian life are believed
| in. especially by those acquainted with the
| true circumstances of the case. Re-
Gently Miss Mary Upper, na the S ED"
| Upper, a beautiful young girl of l6,
/ tn and bring
about a reconciliation between her mother
and father. To-day she returned to At
larta, and, as stated, DR.. Tupper left to-
night.
MRS. UPPER IMPLACABLR.
Miss Upper says her mother is implaca-
BILE, that she positively refuses to listen to
any talk of reconciliation. DR.. Upper
also stated this evening that he had little
| hope but was determined to make final
effort. Mrs. Upper still declares that she
will file the suit against Mrs. Van Derwerker
and have the whole affair ventilated by
the courts. The lady. who has never been
to Atlanta since DR.. Upper was called
here, is living at the rectory in Leaven-
worth. Dr. Upper says he maintains her
there, allowing her two-thirds Of his salary.
The affair is very expensive, supporting
two establishments. he says as we'll as pain
fully unfortunate in other respects, aid he
wants it brought to an end.
HIS SON BROUGHT BACK.
A little 5-year-old son of Dr. Upper was
brought back from Leavenworth by Miss
Upper. Since the affair was first made
public here it has been an interesting topic,
and every day new developments are ex-
pected. AS stated several days ago it is
strongly probable that DR.. Tupper's resig-
nation from the passionate Of ST. Phillips
will be ore of the results of his domestic
trouble
