This is Christmas week, and from
present indications the clerk of the
weather means to ignore the holidays
altogether. There is some skating, but
there's not enough ice for half the peo-
pie who want to skate or to go ice-boat-
ing, and as for the other sports we are
wont to associate with the holiday sea-
son. Echo answers Where" whenever
they are mentioned. Christmas without
snow is like Fourth of July without
fire crackers. Santa Claus driving
suIky or coming in a street car is no
Santa Claus at all. The week will be
comparatively quiet socially, for every
body is busy with his own per-
sonal Notification. Family gather
ingS will for the most part take the
place of larger affairs. One debutante
will console the years last days. Tues
day afternoon Mrs. Edward Sawyer. of
Holly avenue, gives a reception for her
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Sawyer. For
the rest OF the week there is little prom
iSed.
The most important social event of
the near future is the Harvard Glee

FOOLED THE SECRETARY,
A Pleasant Story of Mr.. Fosters Daughter
in Disguise.

A Pleasant Story of Mr.. Fosters Daughter
in Disguise.
San Francisco Post.1
Miss Annie Foster, daughter Of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, likes good horse
an the theater. She is of medium height,
has light brown hair and grayish brown
eyes She has the breezy eordiality of man
ner that is considered Western trait.
When Secretary Foster and Secretary Rusk
were in Congress together they lived in the
same house. Their families, each includ-
ing two girls, were very intimate, and many
joke those four girls enjoyed at the ex-
pense of their staid and dignifed fathers.
Secretary Foster tells how one night he
was working in his Office down stairs, when
Mrs. Foster raped at the door and said a
sister wanted to see him. He said ''all
right" and in moment Mrs. Foster and
Mrs. Rusk ushered in a nun. She told a
pitiful tale that opened his pocketbook to
the extent of SO bill. AS soon as she had
departed peals of laughter came from the
other side of the Office door, and when he
stepped out to find the cause of such merri-
ment there were the four girls, Miss Anna
still in disguise rehearsing her interview
with her father, while the others discussed
the uses that that bill, given in sweet char
tvs name, might be put to-

A MECH ANICAL DETECTIVE
The Clever Device Adopted by a Jeweler of
New York City.

The Clever Device Adopted by Jeweler OF
New York City.
New York Tribune.l
An uptown ieweler has clever mechan-
ical detective for preventing articles of
jewelry from being stolen from the trays
while they are in the cases, or when a sales
man is showing the articles in a tray to a
customer. Electricity is the agency used.
In the bottom of the showcase are number
of copper strips connected with electri ic
batteries and an alarm bell. On the bottom
of the trays are copper strips corresponding
with those in the bottom of the showcase.
- Each article of jewelrv in the trays is
y cid in small spring clip, and the article
holds the two points of the clip from coming
in contact when the piece of jewely is in the
clip. AS soon as it is removed, however,
the two points coming in contact form
circuit and en- alarm bell rings. If the tray
is taken out of the case and one of the arti-
cles is removed, the bell rings Immediately
when the tray is returned to its place. The
statesmen have little wooden pins which
they stick in between the two points of the
clip to prevent the alarm-bell from ringing
when they wish to remove a piece OF jew
elry. Kleptomania is not rampant in this
store

A year or two ago an article appeared in
the Century, by Mark Twain, containing col
lection of ludicrous mistakes of the scholars
of some of the New England schools, and
many readers believed that it was much ex-
aggerated, but the few specimens given
above show that such a collection could
readily be made. When a scholar has been
suitably wrought up by prolonged prepara-
ton for an examination and by anxiety lest
he should not be credit to his school, he is
capable Of things truly astonishing.

sAwrELLE SUSPECTED OF suIc1Dx
His Death Yesterday of Alleged Apoplexy tc
BE Thoroughly Investigated.

CANcoRD, n. H, Dec. 26.-Isaac Saw
telle, who murdered his brother Hiram,
died this morning in his cell at the State
Prison. The murd erer was stricken with
apopilezy yesterday, and physicians labored
in vain to restore hi m to consciousness be-
fore he died. He was under sentence of
death, and the execution was to have taken
pace next week.
In response to a sentiment that has rap
idly become fixed conviction in the minds
of many citizens Of Concord, that the death
of Isaac B. Sawtelle, the murderer, resulted
from his taking poison, Mayor Clapp this
afternoon advised Prison Physician Clark
to make careful invest igation to ascertain
whether the widely-circulated rumor has
any foundation IN fact, and this Dr. Clapp
intends to do. County Solicitor Donovan
also has the matter under advisement, and
will order such action to be taken as NAV
be necessary to clear UP the startling reports.
