FIT FOR AN UMPIRE.

How She DOWned and Punished a Negro
Thief Who Robbed Her.
One dark night last week slender blonde
young lady, who has gone in for gymnastic
work till her slender limbs have muscles
like steel springs, was walking along a dark
street alone. 1t WAS only or $50 o'clock,
and the young lady wasn't timid. any way.
says the Washington Post. One particularly
dark place on her way home was where
there was a dead wall all along one side of
the street for nearly square. As she was
passing this dead wall half-grown negro
jostled against her, and before she knew
book and started to run. For all her good
sense and good muscle she carried her porte
mOnnaie IN her hand. as nine-tenthS of the
geutler sex do.
But before the negro had time to get out
OF the reach she Sprang at him and had her
strong fingers hooked into the collar Of his
ragged coat. A quick jerk threw the negro
on his back on the brick pavement Then
she dropped on her knees on the scared
negro's chest, and, selling his head between
her glOved hands, she bumped il up and
down on the bricks till he prayed for mercy
Then she picked no her pocket-bOOk from
where the negro had dropped it and went on
her way home, her cheeks very Ted but the
glorious light Of an athletic Yictoryln her
blue eyes.
The particular young lady, by the way,
can jump and catch the top of the cornice
over an open door and, ciinging TO it merely
by the strength of her dimpled fingers,
raise herself up till her chin is on level
with her hands eight or nine times without
St0Dpiag.

selections is a laudable one. Ii is said TO be bis
intention TO select men of the very highest legal
ability. With view of obtaining such talent the
legal work OF candidates VIII be carefully
serutinized, their briefs and printed arguments
before the Federal and State tribunals being Sc
cured wherever possible and critically examined.
The ability and legal aeumen shown in these
documents may therefore have considerable
weight iH determining the result.
More than a thousand house letter-boXes OF
every conceivable size and shape are now piled
up al the Postof1ice Department at Washington
awaiting examination by the POstmaster-Gen-

MAXWELL IN CHICAGO.

A Chicago dispatch says tbat the sub
committee Of the Worlds Fair Directory
have held an interview with Maxwell and
have decided to await the coming of a CON-
mittee Of Californians who object to Max
wells confirmation. 1t is also said that in
an interview with the subcommittee Max
well fatty denied that he had been con-
nected with a scheme to establish a Monte
Carl" In Southern California. A denial
Of this nature win not help MaxwelPs case.
When the evidence is presented as to his
connection with Monte Carlo scheme he
will be compelled to resort 10 technical
point to escape the admission of an untruth.
Precisely what be may mean by Southern
California we do not know. In the East
the southern counties of California are pre-
sumed to mean "S0uthern California"
We do not know that Maxwell has been
charged with a scheme to establish Monte
Carlo" in any part Of California. The loca-
ton fixed upon was across the line. 1t is NJ.

trouble about the confirmation Of "a California

when Commissioners Forsyth and De Young
took up a man unknown in this State and
tried to crowd himIthrough. the Chicago Di-
rectory naturally asked if the Forsyth-De
Young man was acceptable to the horii-
cultarists Of the State. 1t was soon found
that he was not. Some of the State Com

A SILVER SYNDICATE.

1t is not surprising that fho condition Of
the silver market should attract the atten-
ton Of spectators. The first advantage
presented by a silver speculation is that
there cannot be much loss. Silver below 81
an ounce is a safe investment with a pros
peet of a 50 per cent rise. 4 French syndi-
cate which is reported as contemplating the
purchase Of the American surplus in sight,
has ascertsined that the floating stock Of
silver in Europe is about exhausted. The
American product is absorbed in the arts
and the Government purchases. 1t is
thought. therefore, that if the surplus in
sight in New York is made unavailable the
owners will be in position to fix the price.
II the assumption is correct that the Euro
pean store of silver is exhausted a syndicate
would not require a very large capital TO
corner the market. In estimating the
amount of silver in Europe it should be re-
membered that the silver coin Of France and
other countries Of the Latin union is held at
its face value in gold. 1t is not likely to be
thrown upon the market at much less than
81 % an ounce. The dispatch which specu-
lates upon the formation OF a silver syDdi-
cate refers to the probability that the gold
countries of Europe will be driven to adopt
the bi-metalic standard. This probability
is greater than is generally realized. There
is not a nation in Europe, possibly except
ing France, that is not quaking with fear
lest Russia shall withdraw its geld deposits
from the several European banks. II is to
provide against such an emergency that
$4,000. coo of gold has been withdrawn from
the United States. To get this amount con-
siderable sacrifices had to be made. With
trade balance in our favor gold would not
90 abroad in large quantities unless it was
paid for going. European statesmen may
be convinced by the present financial con-
dltiOns that the gold basis is too narrow to
be safe. The volume Of national debts pay
able in gold increases each year, but the
stock of gnlh does MT increase
