Chicago and Alton from securing auy Of the
passengers coming from the East unless the

formed the Western passenger association

They Are Boy Bandits No More.

A case in the Berlin police court reports
is a remarkable instance OF the concaGion
of example. The stories of brigands which
have lately filed the German newspapers
seem to have acted on the imagination Of
two boys named Oscar Scheffner and
George May. They determined to become
bandits, and they prevailed on several Of
their school fellows 20 join them. The
average age of the band was thirteen
They inaugurated their defiance of the law
by boldly playing truant. and then they
took refuge in the wilds OF the Grunewald.
where, in true brigand fashion, they hid
themselves.
After night passed in this fashion they
felt the pangs OF hunger, and consequently
they sailed forth at an early hour and
seized the milk cans and baskets of new
rolls which had been left at the doors of
the neighboring villas. This. however,
they thought was scarcely heroic, and their
next step was to garrote an old gentleman
who wss taking a morning stroll in the
park. Somehow the Berlin police got
wind of the affair, and the Juvenile bandits
were seized. They are now languishiug in
grewsome dungeons, where, by means of
cane administered at intervals, it is hoped
That they may be made aware Of the his
toric fact that in northern Europe brigand-
age is an auachronism.

After travelling as a star for four years
and then as elocutionist and vocalist, her
health gave way and she went down to
Manhattan beach to recuperaUe. Several
gentlemen inquired about her at the Office,
some few left their cards and one she met
and talked with in the ladies' parlor.
Finally her brother, George F. Flack, called
and went directly to her room, and as near
as can be determined this precipitated the
trouble.
She and her brother declare that Clerk
Leland entered the room in rude and in
solent manner and peremptorily ordered
her to leave the house at once. There was
a painful scene. The lady was overcome
with shame and confusion, and other
guests Of the house got little excited.
The managers were appealed to and grant
ed Miss Sterling permission to remain.
Nevertheless they stand by the clerk in the
suit. She makes the complaint of SANDER,
ETC., and puts the damages at $50, 900.

A Boy Captures an Eagle.

Story books for children often contain
tales Of little ones being carried off by
eagles. An amendment should be had in
this regard because of the news that comes
from Alpena, Mich, where boy and an
eagle recently had a tremendous tussle.
The lad had been disturbing the birds nest,
and after several swoops the eagle dropped
almost upon her foe. The boy grabbed the
bird by the foot and for several yards he
was carried ten feet above the ground He
then managed to get hold of the wings and
the two fell to the ground, the boy hanging
TO his prey. The bird measures seven feet
between the tips of the wings
