Too Faithful a Portrait.

An Exception.

A plain looking man from the north
woods had been two days at Detroit
hotel when he was asked for his bill,
and offered check of S25 on a local
bank IN payment.
Don't you see that sign?" demanded
the clerk, pointing to a placard which
announced that no checks would be
cashed or money lent.
But my funds are in the bank" pro-
tested the guest.
"Then draw 'em out"
''But this check is all right, and if Won
will accept it shall be much obliged"
The clerk turned to the telephone,
called up the bank and asked:
Has - any money with you?"
Eyes"

post-mortem lot. He was a German sa-
loon keeper on Staten Island, a gallant sol
dier of the late war, a generous friend, a
forgiying enemy and a ready listener to
any tale of woe or appeal for charity.
When Puck" or rather Henry, Meyer
was stricken with mortal illness he called
his comrades and gave directions for the
funeral. Then he turned his face to the
wall and died.
In every minutest particular his wishes
were complied with. Two days after death
the body was dressed in the uniform of the
Schuetzen corps and taken to Fresh Pond
accompanied by the family, friends and a
brass band. There it was cremated, and,
while the ashes were placed in an urn, but
tons from his coats worn on battle fields
were distributed as souvenirs. One after

having charge of the affair took boat to
Bedloe's island. They climbed to the tiara

Saturday afternoon, on the life of Gen.
Roca, prime minister of the republic.
After a cabinet meeting, which lasted
until $50 O'Clock, Gen. Roca, accompanied
by friend Don Gregorio Soler, entered
his carriage and proceeded on his way
homeward. AS they passed Callecangallo
a shot WAS heard, and Gen. Roca at once
stopped the carriage and said: my God,
I am wounded" A great crowd sur
rounded the carriage, and the police made
twenty arrests, among them boy IL to IA

Dloyment, and, being convinced that Gen.
Roca was the cause of the ruin of the
country, decided to kill him. The boy

A ROMANCE OF RAScALITY.

Chevalier Parars Wonderful Swfndles.
His Son Now in Jail.
Believers in the doctrines Of heredity
and of natural depravity will find food for
contemplation in the case of Alfred Paraf.
the grandson of an honorable and wealthy
New York lawyer, and the son of one OF
the cleverest swindlers of the century.
The story is strange, and not without an
element of instruction and warning. In
1867 c. Bainbridge Smith, now retired. was
a prosperous attorney in active practice.
His daughter, Leila, had just entered So
ciety, and was considered one of the most
beautiful buds in New York city. Mr..
Smiths home life was an ideal one, and in
every respect the popular legal adviser
seemed favorite of fortune.
To this happy family enters at the time

THE DR.AD MAN,

ger and an Englishman named William
Wright had lived with him. AS he under
stood it, the two were brothers-in-law, and
had visited America for the purpose of es-
tabl1shing themselves in business. Wright
had gone away one day early in February,
and Ruttinger was last seen by him on the
succeeding day. They left all their bag
gage and owed him no money
So far the search for Wright has devel-
oped nothing but theories One surmise
is that he was the "Astor House suicide"
who registered as Fred Evans and cut his
throat in bedroom. Another is that the
body discovered is not that of Ruttinger,
but of some one else, and that the Stutt-
garter is in hiding to await the collection
of big insurance he carried on his life.
Some people suggest that the case is an
other Preller-Maxwell affair, but at the
present all that can be said about it and
backed with proof is that it is murder
mystery.

FREE SUGAR.

MONTREAL, March 3O-Speaking of the
entrance of free sugar into the United
States, the Herald says: within forty
eight hours the United States will have
free sugar, with a corresponding reduc-
tion in price. This ought to insure a re-
duction in the price of that article of con-
sumption in this country In fact. the
competition will be perplexing to Cana
dian refiners until they very materia ly
reduce the price. Our importers should
be able TO buy sugar in New York, pay

government will be obliged to materially
