Max Weyl has sold to the Corcoran Art Gal
lery one of his most pleasing landscapes, a
medium-sized canvas. Its chief merit is the

the left OF the east-sde gallery, and is in a
good light.
Mr.. Fischer has issued cards Of invitation

A Society Belle Shocked.

young lady who was waiting in the re-
ception-room of a New York modiste expe-
rienced a surprise recently that was rather
amusing, though she was somewhat shocked.
The modiste was busy when she arrived and
begged her to be seated a few minutes. No
one being in waiting but d gentleman, who,
she supposed, had accompanied his wife, the
young belle sat down, and, picking up
fashion plate, concluded that she would not
be kept waiting very long. She had scarcely
glanced at the gentleman, and would proba-
bly, never have remembered him, had not
maid come in, and, going up to him, said:
'Madam says your waist is ready, SIR"
His waist ready The young lady could
hardly believe she had heard correctly. But
when she saw him follow the maid out just as
unconcernedly as If waist was a common
everyday garment for him she dropped the
fashion plate and for moment was overcome
with astonishment. The first thought that
entered her mind was to leave But she
finally determined, with the curiosity charac-
teristic of her sex, to stay until she had found
out little more.
"Fit ! My dear madam, it is Splendid the
gentleman said AS he returned accompanied
by the modiste. "You are perfect. Now
don't forget the trimmings on my dress"
"Oh, let me show you new pattern, sir?"
the modiste interrupted. Don't forget the
trimmings on this dressl The young belle
needed no more proof that her modiste, her
own modiste, whom she had patronized from
girlhood up, was making dresses for man.
Shocking! Should she stay and have her feel
ings hurt' Never! She would go, and, what
was more, she would tell her friends
"Your dress will be the prettiest have ever
made for you,n the modiste assured the gen
tleman, as, with bow, he left.
Turning, the experienced woman saw at
glance what was troubling the mind of her
young patron and making her pretty eyes
flash fire.
"Why, my dear Miss -, know what you
are thinking about" the modiste said, smil-
ing. "That gentleman is Herbert Crowley,
the female impersonator, and regular Gus
toner. My dear, If you could only see him !
He makes the prettiest girl you ever saw"

RoBBING WHISKY BARRELS.
Some of the Clever Tricks of Railroad
Brakemen Exposed.

Brakemen Exposed.
San Francisco Call.
"Liquor men lose q great deal of money by
having whisky barrels tapped en- route"
remarked an Eastern drummer at the Palace
last night. "How9 Well, there are several
ways in which it is done, and railroad brake
men as rule are the greatest adopts in the
world in breaking into the contents of barrel.
The method most generally adopted is
simple but very effective one and very hard to
detect. An ordinary nail and hammer are all
the utensils required. With the hammer
hoop is driven up an inch or two and small
hole made with the nail. Through the small
Aperture thus produced the whisky rushes
out in small stream, but in sufficient guam
tity to fill gallon measure in few minutes.
A woodenpeg is then driven into the hole and
the hoop forced back into position. The leak
is in this way effectually stopped and the hoop
hides all traces of the vandalism.
"Another method is equally ingenious, but
more complicated and consequently seldom re-
sorted to. A strong rope is placed securely
around the middle of the barrel, and through
it is run pickhandle or other stout stick. BY
twisting the rope the slaves are forced in at
the middle, and this naturally spreads them at
the end. When this is done the head of the
barrel can be removed and the contents dipped
out at will. The head is then replaced, and
when the pressure of the rope is removed the
barrel will show no trace of having been tam
pered with.
IA gallon taken from barrel is seldom no
ticed, but with small kegs of valuable liquor
the case is different. Even this, however, has
been done without detection, and in a very pc
culiar way. Of course you understand, q gal
lon of liquor removed from five-gallon keg
would arouse suspicion in a moment but the
tappers have solved the problem in unique
way. The bung is carefully removed and
bottle filled with water is taken. The neck is
carefully inserted in the bung-hole, and the
water runs into the keg. The latter being full,
the whisky is forced up into the bottle, and
the water takes its place. A gallon is removed
in this way, and the contents of the keg shaken
together. The keg thus remains full, and
when the bung is replaced no suspicion is ex-
cited.n
