CAUGHT THE CfstSs
Two sharpers who Begged Penn9e@<
the Poor Have Luck.


CHICAGO, Dec. %. "A trick played by
sharpers is just now the talk of the
town. Just north Of the Clark street
viaduct two men stationed themselves.
One Of them unfolded a paper parcel
and brought out a placard. Printed
across it were the words:
I bet on Harrison. | agreed if lost to
beg $40 in pennies to pay my debt. Please
help me out.
He pinned it upon his breast, pro-
duced cup from his overeoat pocket
and assumed the attitude Of beggar.
The second man pointed his cane at the
placard until passers-by began to stop
to read it, Then he said:
81 won that bet. But I have agreed
that the money shall go to the poor. So,
gentlemen, you are really doing an act
Of charity when you drop penny into
that cup"
For nearly an hour the two men stood
there. The passing throng laughed
Cood-naturedly and contributed very
literally.
From time to time the cup was filled
and emptied into the capacious overcoat
pocket of one or the other of the two
men. Then policeman came in sight,
half block away, attracted by the I'M
usual crowd.
''Thank you, gentlemen, one and all, !"
said the beggar. His companion bowed,
waved his hand, and the two men walked
away.
Half block from the scene they
turned into saloon. sat down at table,
emptied out the pennies and divided
them equally.
eve are the poor, said the man with
the cane. Hot WHISTLES for two, please,
barkeeper. It's beastly weather for
standing out in the open air-but So per
hour, think we can stand it,"

Address Before the Court.
Other News Notes.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Geo. McRae was
found guilty at Northampton Assizes of
the murder of Annie Pritchard. The
trial has been going on since Monday.
There was a dramatic scene in the court
when the jury returned and the verdict
was announced The prisoner, in reply
to the judges usual question asking why
the sentence of death should not be pro-
nounced upon him, calmly said: what
ever sentence your lordship passes will
have no terror for me. l could say
many things in regard to the evil
dence produced here, but it is
useless. The witnesses statements
about conversations had with me
are a mass of abominable lies. You,
gentlemen Of the jury. this day each
become what you make--a murder.
You have widowed good wife upon
this Christmas Eve and have orphaned
two children. AS long as you live your
consciences will accuse you. Now, your
lordship, pronounce my doom in a few
words as possible"
While the prisoner was speaking his
brother, who had previously been elected
from the court for interrupting the
judge, attempted to enter and was again
elected.
A crowd outside the courtroom
cheered upon hearing the verdict.

CINCINNATI, Dec. ga serious panic
was narrowly averted at st. Xaviers
church in this city Sunday morning.
At 6 o'clock, at the celebration OF
high mass, the church was crowded to
it's utmost capacity. About the altar
and walls were profuse decorations OF
evergreen. The candles on the main
altar were lighted and the service begun.
Suddenly shrill scream startled the
worshipers. Some one had noticed that
the evergreen had been ignited by the
altar candles.
Instantly the cry Of fire came from q
thousand throats, and a scene of wild
excitement and terror was begun. A
mad rush was made for the door, and
every enc attempted to get out of the
building at once.
Police Sergeant Casay, who was at the
exit, quickly sized up the situation and
closed and fastened the door, refusing
to allow any one to leave the building.
The decorations were destroyed, but no
other damage done.

knife to wound herself in a horrible
manner. 1t was many days before the
bleeding could be stopped, and her
weakness at that period was extreme.
Since then, however, she has gained
strength, and though she still remains
in the infrmary, the physician sees no
medical reason why the sentence should
be interfered with. Watcher Mrs.
Maybrick really intended suicide, or
merely wished to create a compassion
ate feeling calculated to lead to her re-

attempt as self-destruction.
