JUSTLY INDIGNANT.

His Bondsmen.

]. w. Nance to Sue Chief Glass and
His Bondsmen.
J. w. Nance of Perris was in the city
last night. He is very justly indignant
over the published reports about his en-
counter with Armstrong at Perris. 1t
will be remembered that it was falsely
reported that Armstrong had died from
his injuries, and on the strength of an
Associated Press dispatch to that effect,
Nance was arrested in this city by
police officer for murder. Mr.. Nance
does not propose to submit to any such
high handed proceeding, and said last
evening that he would consult his law
yer today for the purpose of instituting
suit against Chief Glass and his
bondsmen.
1t appears that Armstrong did not die,
and the report sent out to the papers
was premature. In fact, Armstrong has
recovered entirely, and Nance got off
with fine for battery, although it was
shown at the examination that Arm
strong had provoked the trouble. Mr..
Nance is prominent citizen of Perris,
and does not intend to let the matter
rest, as he has been very mnch mis-
represented IN regard ito his encounter
with Armstrong. y

STREET CARS IN EUROPE.
Fares Are Generally Lower Than in the
 TTrttpd GtateG

Fares Are Generally Lower Than in the
 United States.
 ''I have just had long trip through Europe looking at their street cars, or tram cars as they are called there" said correspondent of the New York Telegram.
 "In Dublin found the street railways under one management, called the United Dublin Tramway Company. The cars carry twcnty-six passengers inside and twenty on top, and by law of the Kingdom all public conveyapces are limited to their capacity. When the seats are full no more passengers are taken on, and there is none of the crowding and overlooking we have in this country. The rails of the Dublin tramways are grooved and weigh nine ty pounds to the yard. They are not laid on ties and sleepers, but in cement on a concrete foundation and are con- nected with coupling rods. The pave ment, both inside and outside the track, is of granite blocks on concrete foun- dation, and the seams between the blocks are filled with tar and cement, making the pavement totally impervious to water. The rails are flush with the pavement and are kept in perfect re- pair, so that one might drive over them with a buggy and not know that he was crossing railway track. The fare is one penny, or two cents, for any dis tance inside of mile. It is a horse sys- tenn, and the speed is between eight and nine miles an hour. The horses are of a very high grade, as the Government offers gratuity on every horse coming up to requirements that makes up the difference in the prices of good and poor animal. In consideration of this gratuity the Government reserves the right to take the horses owned by the tramway company for cavalry service in case of war.
 ''In Belfast and Glasgow the systems are similar, while Edinburgh and Bir- mingham have very good cable roads. In London there is the Highgate Hill cable road, and all the other roads are worked by horse power. In November last new electric road was opened in London. The road is what is known as three or center-rail system, with the cars drawn by an engine which receives its power from the central rail, and electricity is generated from stations at the end of the road. On this line there are seventeen trains of three cars each, which leave the stopping-places at in tervals of three minutes. The fare is five cents in United States money, and is paid at turnstile. The speed is about twelve to fifteen miles an hour.
 Paris has electric cars run by the storage system, and it seems to work very well. One feature of the Italian roads worthy of attention is that there are two fares-a first-class fare, where the passengers sit inside, and second class, where the passengers stand out side. The difference in fare is two cents,''

LIVED BY HER WITS.

How a Shrewd ShopIifter Utilized Tame
 Rat.
 "There have been many extraordinary stories told of the ingenuity of thieves in the pursuit of their nefarious calling, but a case which occurred while I was at Chatham recently beats anything ever heard" remarked a newly-arrived Englishman to Philadelphia Inquirer man. "A girl was brought before the police court on the charge of robbing milliners' shops. She was only fourteen years of age and of very innocent ap- pearance. What puzzled the magistrate was that none of the witnesses ever saw her take anything, or at least they would not swear to it, although after she had left a shop where she had been making a purchase articles of value were missed. When arrested nothing was found upon her. The magistrate said he could not convict the girl upon mere suspicion, and then began to cross examine her himself in a kind, fatherly way which touched her heart and she broke down and confessed that she was guilty and explained her methods to the OA I11C court and spectators. It seems that she had tame white rat which she carried about with her in huff. She would enter a shop full of girls and women and ask the price of some article, ard while looking at it contrive to drop the rodent on the floor. Any one can inn agine the result. Those near the door dashed into the street, while the em- ployes jumped on the counters and chairs, wrapping their petticoats tight round their ankles and screamed like mad as the prisoner expressed it, amid the laughter of the court, in spite of the assurances that the rat was quite tame. In the scrimmage she would quietly help herself to what she wanted, catch the rat, put it in her huff, apologize and walk off. The magistrate said that on account of her youth, and as she had voluntarily confessed to the thefts, he would give her one more chance, and bound her over in the sum of fifty pounds steriing-two hundred and fifty dollars of your money-to come up for judgment when called upon. Of course her friends soon entered the required bonds, and Mary Barton will have to find some other place to practice on the weakness of her sex. The tame-rat dodge won't work in Chatham any more {"

WHAT WE POSSESS AND LACK.
An English Writer "Sizcs Up" Americans
 and Their Peculiarities.

An English Writer Sizes Up" Americans
 and Their Peculiarities.
 The nervous effects of the rapidity with which men and women live in the new world are accentuated by infu- ences of climate. A certain delicacy of feature, grace of movement, neatness of pose, distinguish both the mental and the physical products of the coun- try. Its literature, like its beauty, be- longs to nervous, highly-strung, lleenly- susceptible organizations. American artists are dexterous in management of lights and shades; they dispose sketches upon the canvas with the cleverness of French masters. American poets call up graceful images in graceful words, and invest common life with an air of refinement. American thought is apt to be superficial, says a writer in the Edinburgh Review. Their thinkers rarely think thing out they are sug- gestive rather than forcible; they play with their difficulties as cats play with mice; they really grapple with problems and squeeze from them their life. Their theologians eXpatiate on creeds
 
 mysticism, or compounds of Puritanism with transcendental sentiment.
 American humor is rarely of a rollick- ing kind; it is dry, not rich; fine rather than deep; subtle, not broad. It de- bends upon quick perceptions of analogies or upon the exaggeration of facts rather than upon broadly comic sensibility. Americans have produced no plaFs which deserve the name, and in power of dramatic invention they are deficient. Their voices, like their laughter, are seldom rich or rounded, as though they proceeded from hidden recesses of being. Their variety of the English language is modified so as to gain time. Their utterance is rapid; they drop their voices at the end of the sentence in their hurry to reach the next; their idioms are compressed; even their spelling is clipped.
 Cold, self-posseSsed, precocious, alert, keen-witted, Americans, seem wanting in fervcr, passion, repose and expansive ness. Their versatility is phenomenal, but the gift is dangerous if it dissipates powers or sq1anders talents. Few writers devote themselves to letters as their sole vocation with the self-de- votion by which alone the highest liter ary work is produced. Novel writing is not undertaken by persons who have any special aptitude for the work. It forms an interludc in the literary life of writers who are also versifers, critics, essayists, biographers and io1-.o lists

TRICKS OF TRADES.

Natural Explanation of an Unusual Way of
 Treating Ladylike Shopper.
 ''Here, you get out of this! Don't let me catch you in this store againp' A little feminine shriek followed this rough salutation. 1 turned, relates a New York Herald personal pronoun, and beheld beautiful and fashionably dressed young lady in the clutches of a tailor made man. He had torn open a little bundle which he had just received from the package desk, and forced back her money into her hand, and with con- siderable roughness was hurrying her to the door. The face of the young woman was picture. She looked like an angry queen. Her eyes were half aflame and half drowned in tears. Her magnificent teeth showed through the reddest kind of lips, and her clear con- plcxion was like marble touched with the fine scarlet of flowers.
 I was tempted to interfere, but hay ing heard tales of kleptomania and other strange things in these great ba- zaars, and knowing the man besides to be gentlemanly floor walker-for this drama was taking place in one of the most fashionable stores in the city-I withheld my hand.
 Do know that lady?" said the floor walker, with laugh. 'I should say I do! She is very grand lady, indeed. My dear sir, she is one of the tricks of the trade. That bewitching lady in Paris made gown and imported bonnet is salesgirl in the store of our enter prising neighbor on the next block. She gets eleven dollars week. She came down here disguised as a GUS toner, bought dozen handkerchiefs as a blind, and proceeded to price a num- Der of our goods in which our enterpris- ing neighbor suspects we are under selling him. This is so as to give him a tip how to mark his goods. In short, she is a spy, and as we are not per mitted to hang spies in this warfare Of trade all we can do is to escort them to the picket lines and let them go. Now that this young lady has been discov- cred her occupation in this particular line of usefulness is gone; but our neigh Dor will have another rigged up in less than no time. Eternal vigilance is the price of underselling."
 ''But do all the big stores keep these spies, as you call them?" asked.
 ''Weu,' said the ungallant floor walker, with sly wink and smile, they all of them do but ourselves"

The Word {" Jew"

"We are Jews" said the rabbi, to a New York Sun man, land it is right to call us Jews, but some of us do not like the word, because it has been used in Europe for ages as term of contempt or derision. People often seem to be hissing when they say of man. he is Jew In English books, as well as in German books, the word is often used scornfully. In most European cities the Jews were compelled to live by themselves in the meanest quarters, and this also caused them to be spoken of Sneeringly. We are called Jews be- cause our ancient country was Judea, but we are of the Hebrew race, and some of us would rather be called He brewS than Jews. But we will yet make the word Jew shine in the United St-tc1.'
