No Thief.

A lady from Buffalo had quite an ex-
perience in a large Berlin hotel. She
was brave little woman "doing" the
continent alone with her two children,
without being able to speak a word of
any language except United States. One
night, having retired early with the lit
tie ones, she was suddenly awakened by
a peculiar noise, which she soon became
convinced was caused by some one try
ing to open the door between her room
and the one adjoining. She wasn't a
bit scared" but got up quickly, turned
on the electric light and rang the bell,
which resounded through the whole
house. The sound at the door ceased
suddenly, aud after a slight delay a
"Dutchman,' as she called him, APP
peared to answer the bell.
Speak Engish;' (the usual question. }
Il shpeaks heem a leetle," was the re-
ply.
There is some one in the next room
trying to open my door," excitedly.
No, he is out positively.
But thereis some one there-a robber.
a burglar. Don't you understand
He is oudtl He will be cen at halluf

He had just received a letter from his

the old man, "what on airth does any

There is one lawyer in the city who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write a letter to
a client in neighboring city regarding
an important lawsuit that was to come
up before the court in the course Of a
few days. The information he solicited
was highly essential to his case. In writ
ing this epistle he made use of letter
head with his printed address at the top.
In closing his letter be signed himself
thus: "John Langdon, Address Mt supra.
After waiting several days for the re-
ply, which lid not come, he again wrote
his procrastinating client and asked why
he had not sooner answered his first let

which the client said that he had an

LET IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
How Widow Made Use OF What She
Heard Railroad Directors Say.

/ hpN ~ tst oA what oue
| Heard Railroad Directors Say.
| A few years ago widow and her
daughter were occupying a section in a
| Pullman sleeper on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. The section next to this lady
happened TO be occupied by couple Of
the directors of that railroad. The par
| tition between the two sections was 50
thin that it was not difficult for con-
versation carried on in one section to be
heard in the other. The lady traveller
heard the two directors discussing plan
of consolidation whereby the stock of the
Missouri Pacific was bound to be greatly
enhanced in value.
1t was then worth but or 8 cents on
the dollar. She was on her return trip
TO her home in Hartford. The CONVEX
sation Of the two directors preyed on her
mind. She revolved it over and over
again until her home was reached, about
which time s.. 900 note due her was re-
deemed She sent for her attorney, de-
tailed to him the conversation she had
heard and said she was almost resolved
to invest the s., 900 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney, installing her announced
resolution for irony, laughed. but the
woman Of wealth persisted.
ut is but 5000, " she said, land if !
lose shall have just as much TO eat as
have always had and just as much to
wear. If the plans betrayed by these
two directors work out, shall make
good deal Of money buying Missouri Pa
cifc."
Tho attorney obeyed the instructions
Of his client, invested the 5000, and in
less than a month the proposed consoh-
dation was consummated, and the Hart
ford widow realized for her 81, 600 invest
ment $25O,0OO. At the first blush this in
cident is set down rs proof of luck.
1t was simply an unexpected exhibi-
ton of what IN Wall street vernacular Is
termed nerve on the part Of quick
cared and quicker witted woman. Not
one person ia 10000 would have given
any heed to the conversation referred to,
and not one of q thousand who might
have heard and needed and who hap
pened to have the money, as the widow
had it, would have dared invest it.
These incidents and illustrations might
be expanded until volumes were filled.
The evidence would be cumulative that
eyes and ears and brain make what

lawfully entitled to their salaries, as
we'll as to their pensions, and no one
who esteems patriotism or admlres tai
ent in craftsmanship desires to deprive
either one of his office or his pension.
But IT is grossly unfair to condemn the
one while juStifying the other. 1t can
not be done on grounds of legality or
equity. Ifjudged by the latter standard,
the odds would be all on the side of
Gen. Sickles, who left leg upon the
battlefield, and manifested so intense
patriotism that he detied the surgeons
and rushed into the thickest Of the fray
long before his wounds were healed,
performing deeds of heroism that were
the wonder of the world. He earned
every dollar he is receiving. Perhaps
Senator Henderson and other Repub-
lican pensioners now in office did their
duty as patriotically, though not as con-
spicuously. We would not withhold a
dollar from them, nor interfere with
their emolumentS from any offices to
which they may be chosen, but their
partiSanS should show less malignity in
their condemnation of others similarly
situated. 1t would be as grave an in
Justice to deprive Gen. Sickles of his
pay as retired army officer as it would
be to deprive Senator Henderson of his
pension. The fact that one is Demo
crat and the other a Republican has
nothing to do with the equities in their

WITH THE TRAVELLERS.

f. l. Whitney, general passenger
agent of the Great Northern, is home
from three weeks tour on the Pacific
coast. He circulated through Washing
ton and Montana pretty generally. He
said yesterday of the mining situation:
Il found that good many of the silver
mines which were closed have opened
again. But the most noticeable feature
is the fact that the movement against
silver has been wonderful stimulus to
gold mining and hunting. The great,
advantage silver has held the past num-
Der OF years had the effect of making
gold mining so much less profitable than
silver mining that the former had been
very seriously neglected. Pretty fair
gold properties were therefore aban-
d0ned to engage in the more profitable
mining. These abandoned gold proper
ties are again working proftably. Some
great new gold fields have been discoY-
cred in Washington, also i'll Montana,
during the past six months, and without
doubt many wonderful gold discoveries
will be made i'll the near future"

shots were exchanged. Guin went for

next to impossible for the man to re-
cover. This, it is hoped, will serve to

the tramp had every advantage, as he

FORGOT THE BABY,

New York World.
a German nurse girl with q lot of
bundles in her arms and three-vear-
old boy Juggling at her dress boarded the
Fifty-eighth street Sixth avenue train
at Park place station late yesterday
afternoon, Her bundles seemed to
bother her and she kept counting them
TO see if any were missing. At Grand
street she left the car and sat down
upon a settee upon the platform and
counted her bundles again. She thought
something was missing, and soon after
the train had gone she jumped up, ex-
claiming:
My stars! it's the baby"
Then she began to cry, and appealed
to the ticket seller. He telegraphed to
the Fifty-eighth street station to look
for lost child. Meanwhile the little
fellow was having fine ride. The
trainmen had noticed that he was I'M
accompanied, and wondered whether
he would come under the head of ''lost
packages" in which case they would
have to send him to the lost property
office. When they reached Fifty-eighth
street they found telegram from the
Grand street station. The child was
put on downtown train with a stick
of candy, and half hour later was at
the Grand street station.
The nurse girl caught the little fellow
in her arms saying: lyon naughty
boy, to run away" and the people on
the station platform who knew the facts
of the case smiled.

DE FRANCES CASE.
Arraigned on the Charge OF Alb
duCtiOn.

Arraigned on the Charge or AD-
duction.
DETROIT. Oct 9.-Late this afternoon
De France was brought into court and
arraigned on the charge of abduction,
but ne declined to plead. Justice
Whelan adjourned De Frances case
until a week from tomorrow, and fixed
his bail at $4,000.
Jacob Newman, the Chicago lawyer
who lost $4,000 through De Frances
operations, saw the prisoner today and
identified him as Lamb. 1t is learned
that Inspector Shea, of Chicago, was
momentarily expected to arrive in De-
troit, but just what bearing his presence
would have on the case could not be as
certained.
The reason the hearing of De France
was laid over until Oct. II was to enable
the officers to bring back Kennedy
from California. The latest story
is that Kennedy has made a
case and will make a statement in open
court when he returns here. 1t is the
testimony of Kennedy in the main
that will be depended upon for the
conviction of De France. Kennedy
will swear that De France, aside fro N
what other parts he played in the ab-
duction of Perrien. drove the coupe in
which Perrien was taken away from his
home. Kennedy's portion III the abduc-
ton of the miller was the furnishing of
the house in which Perrien was impris-
oned for twenty-five hours.
