More foxes flourish in eastern Penn
sylvania than can probably be found in
any other early settled state. There Is
no question but that as many are now
roaming the hills and ridges near Read
ing as there were century ago. Nsre
have been shot this season already by
young sportsmen near the village of
Rock, and thirteen more have been killed
in the vicinity of Pikeville. The foxes
have grown SO bold that they give the
farmers great deal Of annoyance by
their depredations. Frank II. Werner.

Before he could get his gun the an
imal had disappeared, carrying two fat
hens. Members of the Morgantown Fox
Hunting club captured three foxes-a
large male and two females-alive the
other day at the base of the Welsh mona
tains, near Cernarvon, and are now
keeping them confined until the next
hunt. Three or four big foxes are seen
almost every day in the neighborhood
of Yellow House, but they all appear
to bear charmed lives. Reading Times.

Americans In London.

A woman just home from London
comments on the constantly increasing
size of the American colony in that city.
Il suppose it is because living Is
cheaper there than in New York" She
says: "A man told me that he can live
better there for %, 600 than he can here
for 5000. The person who stays there
only short time does not discover this,
often fancies indeed that London Is a
very dear place, but after residence Of
a few months one learns the ropes, so
to speak. and finds out how to manage.
"Then it is possible to live in good
style much cheaper than in New York
Houserent is an important item that is
fully third lower; and, by the way,
found several women over there, Ameri-
cans, who are making fair living

Rosssris. IN Apartment. Houses.

Flat robberies have become fashion
able. In fact, ever since the average
family took to ''fiat living" the burglar
and his associates have been at their
wits ends to know how to ssburgle"
premises where 50 many eyes and ears
were open. But either such tenants have
grown careless in their seeming security
or the clever thief has discovered the
weak points in their arnor, for q num-
Der of robberies have been attempted
and carried out with more or less suo-
cess. In apartment hotels, where the
entrances are watched by elevator boys
and janitors. there is much less risk for
occupants, but in fat houses, so called,
the opportunity to enter and rob, unless
every precaution be taken by the ten
ant. is undoubtedly great.
Ii would not be wise to indicate by
what means u very tyro OF burglar
might enter half the flats in town,
though perhaps the criminal gentry
know it as well as other folks; but it is
not amiss to remind absentees of the
day or summer that New York is full of
fiat thieves, and what New York has
Boston is bound to copy, even to its
faults and sins. Valuables like silver
ware and jewelry are rarely left in any
house during the summer by their own
ers; therefore il Is not silver or jewelry
these thieves are after. Rings, bric-a-
brao of q portable nature, furniture,
even, have been taken out bodily from
more than one New York fiat, and IN
one instance, where the tenant had
merely gone away for the day, every
article of clothing, costly furs and silk
gowns were packed mp and carted of in
wagon.
: The moral of this is never to leave
home without some responsible person
remains behind to take charge and pre-
vent such disaster. But, according to
the present style of living, this is al
most impossible. There must come a
time, however, when both mistress and
maid wish to be 'sout," and only
the cat can be made guardian of the
little establishment. In that case the
unostentatious abode is its own best
protection. though the newly developed
fat thief may have his own ideas in re-
gard to the game being worth the can
die. e.-Boston Herald.

Three BLACK Crows Again.

The growth of s'hue and cry" was
well illustrated the other day on the
banks Of the Seine. Two fishermen in q
boat got into an alteration with wom-
an engaged in washing a poodle on
shore, splashed her with water and fed
from her wrathful shrieks. A crowd
collected, the cry was raised that a
woman had been drowned, and scared
by the success of their joke the two fish
er1nen attempted to escape down the
river.
They were finally arrested at some
distance on the charge of having MUIR
dered woman and her baby for the
sake nf the rings worn by the former,
and of having thrown the bodies into
the water, and it required all the en-
ergy of the police to save them from the
1000 people who had followed them
along the shore in order to lynch them.

A stnrx Ahont niaraeIi.

Lord Beaconsield once delivered fa-
nous speech in Edinburgh, which was
not reported in its entirety, at all events
out of Edinburgh. for the very good
reason that it could not be done. 1t was
the grafton in which he boasted of hav-
ing educated his party-a stinging re-
minder for which his aristocratic follow
ing did not thank him. On this grafton
hangs tale. 1t was delivered at a BAN
quet, and the flower and chivalry of the
Tory party were around the premier at
the head table.
By some mistake decanter of good
port instead of light claret was placed
in front of the mystic statesman when
he rose to speak, and every time he took
sip he felt rejuvenated, and the more
he took the more he felt inclined to talk
in radiant spirits. With his arms folded,
his eyes glowing and his manner unusu-
ally sprightly, Disraei poured forth col
umn after column for hours, and the re-
porters were turning out the "copy''
with manufacturing rapidity far beyond
the abilities of the telegraphists to cope
with.
The wires were gorged, the great
speech only reached the newspapers in
q mangled form, and wherever it was
read there was mystification and con-
siderable row. But it may be added
that some of the reporters on that occa-
sion had looked upon the wine when
it was red, and their notes were taking
exercise on stills when they came to de-
cipher them.-San Francisco Call.

ANNAPOLIS ND SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 90

There is new reading clerk in the

his position Vice President Morton
laid some executive communications be-
fore the senate, among them, by mis-
take, treaty negotiated by this govern
ment with Great Britain for the i'm
provement of the condition of sailors on
the high seas. Some time ago the Lon
don papers announced that this treaty
had been perfected, but not even whis-
per concerning it has been dropped in
the public ear by the president or those
associated with him.
The new clerk seized upon this mes
sage and began TO read it,
II herewith transmit to the senate for
ratification he began.
Instantly the experienced employee
next to him grasped his arm, the ancient
Captain Bassett shot ont of his chair,
and the mercury in the thermometer
hanging near dropped 80 degs
While the senators looked helplessly

rndlana Has 80 cause 70 complain.

Indiana was first represented on ma
tional presidential ticket in 1852, when
George w. Julian was the candidate of
the Free Soil Democrats for vice presi-
dent. The ticket received no electoral
votes. Indiana's next representative
was Schuyler Colfax, who was elected
vice president along with General Grant
in 1868. In 1872 no Indiana name was
on any of the regular tickets. But after
Mr.. Greeleys death the Democratic
electoral votes were most of them cast
for Thomas A. Hendricks, and few
vice presidential votes were cast for
George w. Julian. In 1875 Thomas A.
Hendricks was the candidate for vice
president on the Democratic ticket. In
1880 William III. English played a SINH
lar role. In 1884 Thomas A. Hendricks
resumed his place as second on the DEM
ocratic ticket. In 1888 Indiana for the
first time had the first place on the
presidential ticket. Benjamin Harrison
was placed in the White House. This
year he is ON the ticket again. 1t is
thus seen that in every presidential cam
paign since 1868 Indiana has had vital
interest in the result. = Indianapolis

Some stolen money was recovered
through a queer agency in Hallowell
last week. When the loss of the bills
was discovered the family at once
started to look for the robbers. Two
men were seen running down lane
across the farm just beyond Mr.. Gil
mans house, into which they attempted
to break. AS they ran, one Of the men
was seen suddenly to pull ont hand
kerchief and beat it about his neck,
where some Of the bees he and his part
ner had disturbed had alighted.
Judging from his antics, the little
creatures got in some effective work.
When the pursuers reached the spot at
which the man had pulled out his hand
kerchief they were delighted to find the
missing roll of bills. which the man had
dropped. Lewiston journal.

Chinese Twins.

'sThe only Chinese twins ever born I'm
this country" have been on exhibition
for the last week in restaurant ON State
street, near Randolph. The tots, for
they are extremely small, are five years
old. They were born in San Francisco
of high caste parents and they bear the
names of Rose and Sophie Lee. The
Misses Lee have not had their youthful
minds filed with stories Of the several
hundred thousand josses whom the Ce-
lestials delight to worship, but every
Sunday afternoon they turn their turned
up toes in the direction of the University
Sunday school, at Robey street and War
rem avenue. II indications are not re-
lied by the work Of time, Rose and So
phie will be accomplished speakers of
the English language.
They have become adopts in the art
of giving out Chinese toothpicks to
curious patrons of the restaurant, and
Sophie inside or twenty-four hours
learned to bestow betwitching Celestial
smile with every pick. Despite GER
tain pink tinge in their cheeks they bear
the distinctive facial marks of the Mon
golian race. Their black hair Is done
up in fashion that would bailie the ef
forts Of an American hairdresser. The
dresses they wear will hardly become
fashionable in this country, but they
are expensive, being Of the finest silk,
in spite of their popularity. The girls
are taken to the restaurant every morn
ing by their mother, she calling for
them at night when the demand for
toothpicks has ceased. - Chicago
