Paul and virginia Discredited.

Another pretty tale, that of Paul and
Virginia." is now attacked by a seeker
after absolute truth" A Frenchman
named Arene has written an article to
prove that Virginia de la Tour, who was
reported to have been drowned in the
wreck Of the Saint Geran, was really saved
by her lover and duly married him. M.
Arene relies largely on fan said to have
been given to Virginia by NJ. de la
Bourdonnais, the colonial governor, who
married her to Paul, this remarkable fan
being in the possession of one of the COVER
nor's descendants. NJ. Anatole France,
however, says that the fan, from the de-
scription, is pure Louis XVI, and that as
the Saint Geran went down in 1744 it is of
no value as an argument against the ac-
cepted legend

Halping tbs REaida.

During the War of the Revolution,
while the American and British armies
were contending in Pennsylvania, Gen
eral Washington was in the neighbor-
hood of Marietta, Lancaster county.
General Lee, with two or three aides
de-camp, rode in advance, and stopping
at a wayside inn, informed the landlord
that General Washington and his staff
officers would quarter at his house for
the night.
This news, of course, caused great con-
fusion among the inmates of the estab-
lishment. They wanted to do honor to
the beloved commander, and hustled
about to have all things in readiness
upon his arrival.
Here, you" said the genius who
presided in the kitchen to General Lee,
ignorant Of his rank in the army, "just
60 out to that woodpile and split an
armful for me. | must hurry up this
fire, or | cannot get good supper for
General Washington.
The officer, enjoying the joke, obedi-
emily took up the ak, and soon the chips
were flying in all directions. He was
busily working away when Washington
and his staff rode up to the tavern.
"Why, General Lee" said the com
mander-in-chief. what in the world are
you doing?"
"Oh," replied Lee, lifting his head,
81 am helping the maids in the kitchen
General Washington and his officers are
coming here for supper tonight"
Both generals burst into hearty
laugh, in which their companions joined
and even the landlady, who had set the
general at work, enjoyed the joke after
she had recovered somewhat from her
modification Youths Companion.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates" makes
the statement that the old name of the
city of London was written Lynden or
Llyndin, meaning ''the city on the lake. +"
An old tradition gives us to understand
that London was founded by Brute, a
descendant of Eneas, and called New
Troy, or Troynovant, until the time OF
Lud, who surrounded the town with
walls and named it Caer-Lud. or Lud's
town. THIS latter is probably the cor
rect version of the story, if for no
other reason because it is an easy mat
ter to detect a similarity between the ex-
preston Lud's town and London. 1t ID

People who have lived in cities where
marriage licenses are required often
have great difficulty in understanding
the system in vogue here. They cannot
realize that the services of a minister or
alderman are all that is necessary when
the parties have reached the proper age.
A German whose knowledge of the Eng
lish language is limited wished to get
married not long ago, and being under
the impression that license was neces-
sary he started out to secure one. He
wandered around the postoffice and the
various municipal and county buildings
for an hour or two, unable to find the
place where licenses were to be had.
Finally he managed to explain to a
policeman that he wanted a license, al
though he was unable to make it clear
what kind Of a one he was after. The
officer directed him to the place where
dog licenses are issued, and the happy
sutton paid his fee and received the
precious paper.
That evening the German and his
blushing afianced went TO the house OF
a minister to have the Gordian knot tied.
When the bridegroom proudly handed
over his dog license the worthy pastor
could hardly perform the ceremony for
suppressed laughter. The couple, how
ever, were none the less firmly married
because the paper allowed the husband
to keep dog instead of to wed wife,

SWINDLER HAYILLE.


he biuus ex-senator tatr Out of $500 In
San Francisco by Means of Base
Forgery of Mr.. Bayard's Name.
The following telegram was sent from
San Francisco on Friday, by the Asso-
ciated Press:
Bayard Saville, who was arrested We'd
nesday OH complaint of ex-senator James
&. Fair, has been charged with obtaining
money under false pretences. On july
10TH he presented letter of introduction
ptlrporting to be from ex-Secrctary Bayarl
Of Wilmington, Del, and on the strength
thereof induced Senator Fair to endorse a
draft of $500 on the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Bank Of Wilmington. II
now transpires that the letter was 4 forgery
and that Savile had no money in the
bank. The latter cashrd the draft through
the Nevada Bank of this city. He claims
that he studied law with Secretary Bayard,
but subsequently engaged in the commits
sion business, having II house in NV York
and London.
The party alluded to in this despatch
is well-known in this city. He is Bay
ard Q. Saville, step-son of the late
Alexander Saville, who erected the
structure known as the Saville Building
at the southeast corner of Sixth and
Market streets.
The letter of recommendation nre-
scented by Saville to ex Ex-senator Fair is
pronounced forgery by Mr.. Bayard,
who says he never wrote ii and has not
seen the young man for years. Secretary
James L. Clarkson Of the Security Trust
and Safe Deposit Company, says Saville
has no account there.
Saville is about 80 or "a years of age,
and has had varied career as n society
sport and swindler. When quite a young
man he was registered as law student
with Mr.. Bayard, but made little pre-
tence of reading law. He was fond of
fine clothes, never liked work of any
kind and led life of elegant leisure.
His personal appearance was rather
pleasing, although he was very stout,
with round, babyish face. He was an
excellent performer upon the piano and
also an expert billiard player.
Saville started his swindling opera
tons at quite an carly age, and his step
father, after meeting number of his
unwarranted drafts, was compelled to
repudiate all responsibility for his finan-
cial transactions. He once secured 500
from Charles McGlade, the well-known
Atlantic City hotel man, by means of
worthless draft. He went to Baltimore,
and his operations in that city nearly
landed him in jail. His San Francisco
episode is the first his friends here have
heard of him for several years.
