HE BUNKoED AN M. P.
And Was So Slick About 1t That the Victim
Only Admires Him.


Although 1 am the youngest member of
the House of Commons, said P. G. Harri-
son, NJ. P. for Tipperary, to New York
correspondent recently, 81 always thought
until 1 came to this country that 1 was
shrewd enough to keep out of the hands of
the festive bunko steerer, yet hadn't been
in New York two weeks before I fell vic
tim to the wiles of as spruce young man as
should care to meet. 1 dislike to dwell
upon that experience. 1t was not pleasant
to have the conceit taken out of me by meet
ing man who had honesty written in his
face and the broth of sincerity on his tongue.
81 only lost few pounds, not enough to
cause me any inconvenience, but 1 should
like to meet the young man again, just the
same. His game? Well, never mind; you'd
laugh at me if 1 told Probably the expert
ence I had was worth the money, and I
would like to assure that young man of
fortune awaiting him in London and Dublin.
He would create sensation in either of
those cities, because his kind is very rare
there. There is just one consoling thought
about the whole business. He said he was an
Irishman, and every native of the old sod
ought to be proud of the fact. Hewould re-
fleet credit on any country"

Ellen Terry in New York Herad.l
1 do not say that the absence of tears shows
o lack of feeling. For instance, the greatest
of living actresses, Sarah Bernhardt, spoke
upon this very subject with me at our first
meeting, which was on the Lyceum stage
after performance of 'Tolanthe" (King
Rene's daughter). The scene was still set.
1t is garden. Dear me! how she dazzled
and interested me! She fitted here and
there, pretending to smell the fowers-she
rustled and rustled-shimmer-s Skinner
went her dress and fit-ft went she. 1t
made me think the garden was real-my
own stage garden that had been acting in.
She seemed to me butterfly, and Ian
elephant! did feel heavy, dull and stupid
by the side of her. 1t was the first time L
had met her-off the stage
She chartered away all the while in
French, since She couldn't in English, and
thereby showed her wit, all the time charm

the situation most completely. / remember
proved to me she was not really butterfly
by eating some asparagus for supper after
the play) she spoke to me about my real
tears in King Rene's daughter, not with
surprise, but with interest and sympathy,
and told me she could not cry. But L know
that she felt like crying, though her tears did
not come. 'Tt is very pehurious and skep-
tical love which must understand before it
can sympathize." Although did not see
81 heard her tears" and knew they were in

even NJ. Coquelin have said to the contrary,
1 do not believe that an actress can really
move her audience unless she is herself
affected by certain passages. But to teach
the art of shedding tears is as impossible as
it is to teach the art of feeling.

RIVAL TELEGRAPH UNIONS.
A Compromise Agreement in the Natu
OF Truce Patched In,

n Scmpromise Agreement in the Nature
of a Truce Patched Up.
ST. LOUIS, June 19.-The Judiciary Com
mittee of the Order of Railway Telegraph
and NJ. d. Shaw and j. H. Schwerzgen,
grand officers of the Brotherhood of Tele-
graphers, came together at 10 o'clock this
morning and it took only short time for
them to reach a conclusion as to the question
of matchmaking the two organizations.
The Judiciary Committee of the former re-
ported that the grand division had refused
to reduce the time of the eligibility clause
Of the organic law, whereupon Messrs. Shaw
and Schwerzgen called ali negotiations off.
1t is said an amicable agreement was
reached whereby the two orders will pro-
ceed and organize the telegraphers of the
United States, one not encroaching on the
others territory-that is, the brotherhood
will take in commercial operators and rail-
road telegraphers not members of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers, while the Order
Of Railway Telegraphers will receive only
railroad operators. The Order of Railway
Telegraphers will apply for membership in
the Federation of Railway Employees, but
it is said the assurance has been given the
brotherhood people by members of the
council that neither organization will be ad-
mitted until an amalgamation has been
reached

PHOTOGRAPHS ON WINDOWS.
A Case in Missouri as Wonderful as Those
Reported Recently.

A few miles from Columbia, in Boone
county, Mo-, there is a little church in the
middle of small country graveyard, said j.
N. Wilson, of st. Louis, in discussing spirit
photos on windows with Globe Democrat re-
porter. A few years ago, one morning after
q severe storm, a homeless man was found
dead in the churchyard, directly beneath
one of the windows. On pane IN the win
dow was as accurate photograph of the
dead mans face as an artist could have
taken. The picture seemed to be perma-
nently fixed in the glass and remained there
for years after the man was buried, and for
all 1 know may be there yet.
1t was seen by hundreds of people and
was the talk of the whole country at the
time the event happened. Of course no.
body could explain how it was done, but if
we believe only what we. understand our
creed is likely to be very short.

A Brakeman Said They Were Too Dirty to
Ride in First-Class Coach.
A party of dirty Italian workmen held
first-clsas tickets going east last night. With
the exception of one, they were satisfied to
ride in the smoking car. The kicker had
learned something during his short stay in
America, and wanted to sit in the ladies'
coach. The brakeman noticed the soil on
his clothing, and refused to allow him to
enter the car. The Italian stirred up quite
a rumpus, but he got cold comfort from the
bystanders.
'T had no right" said the brakeman, "to
keep him out of the ladies' coach, but the
line ought to be drawn somewhere. A man
who hasn't sense enough to keep himself
clean shouldn't be allowed to herd with de-
cent people The agents won't sell a drunken
man any kind of ticket, but they will
hand ont first-class tickets to lot of dirty
Italians, with license to make everybody
else in the car miserable. believe in pro-
tecting the rights of the majority when men
will not keep themselves in presentable
condition. The fault, however, is with the
company and not with the Italians"

NEGROES TURNING WHITE.

The Case in Baltimore Is Nothing Less
Than Real Leprosy.
The negro girl of Baltimore who is turn
ing white has the true leprosy-the leprosy
we read of in the Bible, says an old traveller
in the st. Louis Globe-Denaocrd. When I
was first pointed out leper in this country
was surprised and thought my informant
was in error. The leprosy that RACES in the
East is precisely the same as the unknown
disease of the Baltimore negress.
In India, where lepers are numerous,
they are snow white, and their naked bodies
glisten in the sun as do the scales of fish.
1eprosy first shows itself on the hands,
Small white spots declare themselves, and
if care is not taken those spots cover the
entire surface of the body. They grow
winter and scales form, and, as the Bible
says, ''white as leper."

Allegheny police have captured fine set
of burglar tools and are anxious to find the
owner. The set consists of five drills and a
brace, a jimmy, package of powder, six
yards of fuse, a lot of white ducking and a
curious sand bag made ofrubber hose nailed
to handle and filled with sand. The tools
were found in a hay loft on the Ivory farm
about half mile outside of the city.
Thursday night Superintendent Muth and
Assistant Superintendent Glenn visited the
place, and spent some time about the neigh
borhood in hopes that the owner of the
tools would como back after them, but this
did not prove to be the case, as no one ap-
peared.

AN EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES.

Over Hundred Cases Reported by Doctors
Yesterday in Williamsburg.
The ravages of measles in Williamsburg
have assumed the proportions of almost an
epidemic. In one short block on South
street there are dozen cases, and through
out the borough it is estimated there are
over 100. The disease has spread with Gus
tomary rapidity, whole families being down
with it at once So far there have been no
fatalities, although during the present hot
weather there is always danger of complica-
tions that may end in death.
Cholera infantum has also been very bad
in the borough, physicians being in constant
requisition. 1t is to their credit that very
few of the cases have ended in the death of
the little sufferers. The grip has not been
quite cleared out of the borough yet. The
physicians report an occasional case, but
always in mild form.

of action for the Governments defense in
the subsequent cases, the one decided this
morning being test case. The cases are
very important, involving millions of dol
