THE SUMNER HOTEL CLERK.

The summer breczes soon will blow across the
yellow sands.
And down upon the rocks near by the lovers
will hold hands;
Upon the crested vavc wen see the white
winged pleasure bost.
And George will show dear Susan how % swim
and how 70 hoat.
And over all the summer throng-where Cupid
does not shrk-
Will CLEAN the glad efulgcnce Of the summer
hotel clerk.
Tic smiles upon you with a smile suavity itself.
And when you register your name he takes
from you your peif;
Oh, hard earned dollars that you've saved
through weary days now past
You take one lingering look at them ere In the
safe they're cast.
You think how slow those dollars came and
how they made you work,
And then you bow submissive to the summer
hotel clerk.
He wears a suit Of latest cut, and as you meet
his eye
lie oondesoonds 10 tell you how 10 tie your
summer tie;
He notes with careful eyes your clothes aud 70
what girls you speak,
And regulates his bearing by the price you par
each week.
From condescending smile right down the
scale 70 humble smirk
We note the plastic features Of the summer
hotel clerk.
Oh, for some still. secluded spot, away from
haunts Of men,
With rustling trees and gladstone birds-a
maiden now and then;
A shady glen, quiet nook. simple bill Of
fare,
Where one can while away the time entirely
free from care.
A hidden path, singing stream. where fishes
love 10 Turk,
And where there is no vestige of the summer
hotel clerk.

ROBBED THE ROTHScHILDS.

The Chief Cashier of Their Banking House
at Frankfort Said to BE a Defaulter For
Over Quarter of Million.
BERLIN, April GA grand sensation
was caused on the bourse here by the
report that Herr Jaeder, chief cashier
for the great banking house of the
Rothschilds at Frankfort was default
er for over one-quarter of a million.
Jaeder had held the position of chief
cashier for fifteen years. Some time
ago he was missing from his post and as
time elapsed and he did not appear a
partial examination of his books was
made. This resulted in the declaration
that he is an absconder.
The examination of the books has not
yet been completed and the exact
amount of the defalcation is therefore
not known. No denial has been made,
however, that the stealings will reach u
million. The cashiers Office is closed
and experts have been employed to eX-
anime the books of the bank.

WATERSPOUTS AT SEA.
Thrilling Experience on a Steamship 600
Miles Southeast of the Delaware Capes.

Thrilling Experience on a Steamship 200
Miles Southeast of the Delaware Capes.
PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-Capt- New
ton, of the steamship W. c. Mitchell,
reports that OF Friday he experienced a
heavy southerly gale, but on Saturday
it moderated and the sea became calm.
At 0 o'clock in the morning there APP
peared on the horizon objects which oc-
casioned great curiosity. Some on board
took it to be a phantom ship, while
others believed it to be merely cloud
formation. The ship was then about
200 miles southeast of the Delaware
capes, and the objects on the horizon
drew nearer and nearer the ship, when
it was discovered that they were num-
Der of waterspouts following closely in
each others wake.
The noise created by the phenomena
was deafening, and the rush of water
was greater by far than that of Niagara
Falls. Capt. Newton discovered the di-
rection in which the waterspouts were
moving and, realizing the danger, al
tered his course, to avoid being struck
Capt. Newton says he never saw such
large waterspouts before. Huge bodies
of water were being carried in every di-
rection for miles around

THOUGHT EACH OTHER DEAD.

Strange Reunion of Husband and Wife in
the Insane Asylum of Cook County, Ill.
CHICAGO, April 1s.-A strange story
comes from the county insane asylum
Of the reunion of husband and wife
who thought each other dead. George
Hillman, of Elk Park, went to the
market to get some meat last Novem-
Der, and was delayed longer than ex-
pected. His wife, who is of an excita-
BILE temperament, fearing harm had be-
fallen her husband, went to look for
him. He returned MEANWHILE, and find
ing the house deserted, went to look
for his wife. Strange as it may seem,
both became insane from worry and
were picked up by police officers. The
woman was sent to the asylum. Hill
mans arrangement was not so serious,
and he was committed to the poor house.
By a singular coincidence, however, the
bailiffs COMPOUNDED Hillman with an in
sane patient who was sent to the poor
house in Hillman's place. the latter be
ing sent to the asylum. Yesterday hus-
band and wife met and recognized each
other. It is thought that the fortunate
reunion of the couple will lead to the
recovery of their minds.
