Trip to London That Must Have Paid
New York Jeweler.
About two weeks ago the Custom-house
authorities were notified that New York
ieweer and his wife we're in London invest
ing largely in diamonds and other precious
stones. A second letter conveyed the in
formation that they had purchased S20O,00O
worth of unset gems and would sail for the
United STATES on White Star liner with
the jewels. The hint was enough, and on
the arrival of the ship at this port the jew
eler and his wife were invited 10 sub
nit to the usual search inflicted on
passengers suspected Of being snug
glers. Nothing was found to justify
the letters from London, however, and
husband and wife, after somewhat indig-
nantly accepting protuse apologies, were
sallOwed to go. letter was received ut the
Custom-house informing the CuStonl-houSe
authorities that the couple had undoubtedly
worked the goods ashore Circumstances
were related which showed beyond doubt
the truth of the correspondents statements,
but as the jewels are now, OF course. beyond
the reach Of Uncle Sam, the CUStOm-hause
people can do no more than vow that sus-
pected persons will in future be subjected TO
more rigid search than ever.-N. 7. dis
patch to ST. Louis Star-Sayings.
Ones Vocabulary.
The vocabulary of citizen of the United
States. with common-schOol education and
of ordinary intelligence and reading, is
about 10000 words and that of weIl-read
college graduate and of those who have pur-
sued a university course, at from 10000 up
ward to perhaps 100000. Ones vocabulary
is usually nearly complete at 80 years OF
age. If but two words are learned each day
the vocabulary at that age would be Only
10000 Records show that young children
acquire new words more rapidly than that.

Astounding Discovery in a Georgia Town.
1t is reported that colored man EN-
ployed in one of the warehouses at Ameri-
GUS Ca, has been in the habit Of supplying
dressed squirrels to the people. Nothing
was known about him. aud it was suppose d
that he was huntSman, But some one grew
suspicious. and an investigation followed.
1t was discovered that the fellow had been
killing the great rats that infest the ware
house, dressing and selling them for squir-

they learned of the fraud that had been per-

Riot in a Circus

A dispatch from Knoxville Tenn, eaturdsy
says:
circus and wild west show which came to this
city last Monday for wook's stand has gone. and
in future wilt leave this city off its route Thurs
day night the largo audience began TO jeer some OF
the performers. As the audience became more
and moro excited, it worked its way into the space
reserved for the show. All attempts to force tho
crowd back were fruitloss, and several fights re-
suited. Finally, clown mounted book and
began singing song. He had sung one verse,
when some one hit him square in the face with a
brickbst. he fell senseless to the ground, and
was dragged away by his companions. BY this
time everything WAS 10 an uproar. Womon
screamed snd mad rush for the exits were made.
The police were powerle,s. Scores were knocked
down and trampled on. The manager of the show
got on stand and attempted to quiet the mob
with speech, bat it was useless, and he like the
clown, was knocked down. At this point the riot
spirit took command. Everything in sight was
seized and wrecked. The band instruments were
smashed fat. The seats were torn down and
broken. some one cut the ropes, and the big tent
came down with rush, burying two hundred or
moro people IN it's folds. rush was then made
for the dressing rooms, which we're also torn down
leaving the actors aud actresses half dressed in
the open air The side-shows were next attacked,
and were wrecked. After wrecking everything
in sight tho crowd went away, and the show peo-
ple aided by the police gathered their traps
together and left on midnight train. Soma
twenty people were hurt but none seriously, OK
cept the clown, whose nose was broken and lower
jaw fractured.
