He Carried a Mum.

The other day a well dressed man sat
in Boulevard car going up town. The
day was cold, the car was full and the
usual discomforts of surface transit
were turned on. The man mentioned
was the observed of all observers. He
carried a common black muff on his
knee, his hands thrust in either end, and
had far away look in his eyes. The
ladies exchanged amused glances. The
gentlemen regarded the muf with var1-
Ous degrees of wonder and contempt.

"rl steal my wife's sealskin sacque to-

"Poor fellow! Somebody ought to see
him home safely"
Amid these remarks the man with the
muff sat quietly looking out of the win
dow. He must have overheard some of
them; he must have known that he was
the object of universal curiosity and
ridicule, but he gave no sign. It ap-
peared, however, that he was only col
lecting himself for some final effort, for
when he arose to leave the car at Sew
enty-second street he suddenly confront
ed his fellow passengers.
''This is my wife's muff," he said
bluntly. "She left it on the bargain

Such a Romantic Affair.

She was a convalescent from la grippe,
and as she leaned back in the depths of
her easy chair she played with the roses
in her lap, which had been brought her
by the first caller she had been able to
receive, and smiled over some stories he
was telling her Of q summer at-well,
we'll only say at a certain fashionable
watering place on Narragansett bay.
"One of the beauties whom l used to see
at the casino," said he, twas young
married belle about twenty-three or
four, l should think, and her husband
was about sixty, and it was great fun
watching them. There was such good
story, bona fde truth it was, too, about
their engagement. He called at her
home one evening and offered his heart,
hand and fortune in correct style.
Pretty Miss Bud said she must ask
mamma and coyly tripped up stairs to
mamma, who told her that every girl
did not get such chance as that, and OF
course she was to accept him.
"Down she went, picturing the ardent
lover awaiting her return with anxious,
throbbing heart and found the old gen.
tlenan comfortably asleep in the big
gest armchair, while an occasional snore
attested to the depth of his slumbers. .
81 hope she didn't wake the poor old
thing up" said the cOnvalescent, when
she got her breath again after her laugh.
"Oh, yes she did. Catch her losing that
chance! She woke him up and told him
it was all right and she'd have him.

day. A subcommittee of the house ap-

of certain branches of the District ex-

that distinguished citizen of the District
of Columbia, the official dog catcher
known as Poundmaster Einstein, with
the purpose of slicing down his salary
from the princely sum of $1,000 yea1
to 5000.
It did not slice, however, and one of
the members of the committee explains
their change of heart by saying that be-
fore the examination was concluded Mr..
Einstein so charmed the members Of the
committee with his stories of excursions
made with senators in search of black
bass in the streams about Washington
that the question of reducing his salary
was absolutely abandoned.

They were commended the other day by
the viceroy to the care and protection of

who, on seeing strange men with strange
instruments in their hands probing and
peering into the earth, would be sure to
be roused to mischief, and as ane pro-
fessed himself powerless to restrain the
riot that might ensue, he prayed his ex-
cellency to reconsider the matter.
The viceroy took in the situation at a
glance. He wrote in reply to say that,
inasmuch as the local official did not
seem equal to cope with the situation
he was sending five deputies, with boats
and followers, to afford the foreigners
safe and suitable escort-all at the ex.

OHIO REPUBLICANe.


Thc sherman and Foraker haetioAs
Fighting for Supremacy.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, April N.-The Ne
publican state convention met here this
afternoon. Hon. Charles P. Griffin OF
Toledo was made temporary chairman.
He delivered brief address in review OF
the records of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties, state and national.
Judge King, in introducing Chairman
Griffin, contrived to name before any
body else Governor Mckinley, bringing
out tremendous applause. When ne
referred later to Secretary Blaine an up
roar OF applause followed from all SIDES
of the hall. President Harrison's name
was also literally cheered. Chairman
Griffin, however, later brought IN
warm reference to ex-Governor FORAKER,
and bedlam broke loose again.
After the reading of the various COM
mittees, Dougherty of Fayette moved to
adjourn till tomorrow, so the delegates
could attend the ball game. The mo
ton was unanimously carried, and the
hall was deserted in an instant.
Foraker arrived here this morning,
and his lieutenants have been hustling
ever since. The outlook is that he Will
succeed in breaking the elate for dele
gates at large to the national conven-
tion, and that he will have larger rep
resentation than was accorded him.
The complexion of the state central
committee is said to be decided victory
for Sherman.
The situation tonight is that the
Sherman forces are apparently more
than ever determined to name three or
four of the delegates-at-large from OHIO
to the national convention at Minneapo-
lis, and the Foraker cohorts insist that
they should have at least two. The GER
tain withdrawal of Colonel Conger from
the list Of possibilities, was one OF the
Developments of the evening.
The committee on permanent organ
ization has decided on Governor Mckin-
ley for permanent chairman.
The platform committee is said to be
practically agreed upon a platform in
dorsing Harrison's national administra-
ton and McKinley's course as governor,
besides eulogizing the Mckinley bill
and inserting separate wool plank, az
we'll as one condemning the action OF
congress regarding cotton ties. Referring
to the silver question, an honest dollar
is demanded. Direct instructions for
Harrison were understood to have been
omitted in Difference to McKinley's con-
tingent candidacy, and also because

Opium Struggled within q Dead Body.

Opium Struggled Within q Dead Body.
A remarkable smuggling story is re-
lated by reliable resident of National
City, Cal. According to the story a
corpse was brought across the line from
Mexico, ostensibly to be shipped to rela-
tives in San Francisco. 1t was not exam-
ined very closely, as the mourners would
have resented too close an inspection of
the dead body, but the informant hap
pened to be there and his curiosity was
aroused He therefore investigated.
No sooner was the solemn procession
well away from the line than it changed
its course, and instead of going toward
San Diego went rapidly toward the east,
climbed the hills until it reached Otay
mesa, and stopped at a house where the
coffin was taken in. 1t was by this timo
growing dark and the person who was
following it was puzzled how to continue
his Investigations. He rode boldly upto
the corral and put up his horse. The
occupants of the house were too busy to
notice his arrival. He then walked to
the house and looked through the win
dow cautiously He saw the whole
crowd of mourners busily engaged in
taking out small tin boxes Of opium from
the cadaver and piling them on the
table. The observer, feeling that he al
ready knew too much for his own good,
and fearful of detection, went quietly to
the corral, saddled his broncho and de-
parted.

but will not disclose them. He said,
however, that the procession was COM
posed of Mexicans, but the house where
the supposed corpse was taken belonged

Tax Collector Andrew Bouchou, of
Hancock, turned over as a part of his
funds to Supervisor Wheeler Jan. 10 a
queer bank note. It passed for twenty
dollar bill, and but for the watchfulness
of the cashier in Nichols banking house,
in this village, it might have gone un-
challenged. The cashier at once discov-
cred that the front of the bill was a
twenty, but the back was five. They
were the split halves of two genuine
bank notes pasted together. The
schemer's profit will depend on whether
he passes the mate to it for twenty dol
lars by proffering back Np. By doing so
he will have made fifteen dollars clear
on the transaction. The collector had

The Angels Making a Grand Record on
Their Fret Trip.
The proud Dukes of Santa Clara were
humbled yesterday. They suffered
their first defeat in nine games, and the
Angels did the trick in good style. Yes
terday was San Jose's first defeat on the
home grounds, and there must have
been gnashing of teeth as after eight
straight victories the local fans must
have come to the conclusion that the
Garden City team WAS almost invinci-
BILE. Los Angeles has a bone to pick
with San Jose. We owe San Jose q
good trouncing and it looks as if we will
be revenged. The local team will make
a gallant fight to come home in the
lead, and the way our boys are playing
ball just now nothing but a run OF the
hardest kind of luck will stop them.
The Angels have won eight out of
eleven of the games played away from
home, which is much better than the
most ardent admirer of the team
anticipated. In fact, the local
fans would have been satisfied with
eight out of fifteen games. When the
club lost one or two games there was
consio cradle kicking and all sorts of
wild conjectures were wentured. The
HERALD has all along maintained that
every member in the team should be
given fair trial, and the wisdom of
that is becoming more apparent every
day. Los Angeles has a.gilt.edged COM

fight from first to last and the present
