DOG TRAINED TO STEAL.
The Latest Curiosity of Crime In the
Worlds Metropolis.

The Latest Curiosity of Crime In the
Worlds Metropolis.
This curious account of the depreda-
ton of a felonous dog is from the Lon
don Daily Graphic. Frederick Hamp-
ton, forty-five, described as fish
monger, of London road, Croydon, was
charged on remand recently before
Mr.. Biron, at the Lambeth police court,
with stealing and receiving lady's silk
umbrella value seven shillings six
pence, the property of Louisa Squires.
The evidence already given showed
that on Saturday the prosecutrix was
walking along Kensington park road
with an umbrella in her hand. She saw
a trap coming along and dog rum
ming behind. The dog came toward
her, took hold of the umbrella and
shook it, and she had to let go.
The dog then ran off with the um-
brella in the same direction as the trap.
The prisoner, who was driving, was af
terward arrested, and upon searching
the trap the policeman found seven UNI
brellas, including the one identified by
Miss Squires.
A second case was gone into. Mrs.
Henrietta Ray, the wife Of DR.. Ray, Of
Baat Croydon, stated that ut tie begin
ming Of last month she was walking
along London road, Croydon, in COM
pany with two other ladies. The Wit
ness was carrying sunshade; dog
suddenly ran up to her, snatched her
sunshade and ran after the trap, in
which there were two persons. That
morning she saw the sunshads at the
court.
Other victims testified. Eight um-
brellas were found at Hampton's lodg-
ings. The prisoner was committed.

CITY COUNCIL OF KEMPEN.
Dutch Simplicity Was Their Strong Point
Like That Of Some Other Councils.

Dutch Simplicity Was Their Strong Point,
Like That of Some Other Councils.
Kempen, a town IN Holland on the
lower Rhine (the birthplace of Thomas
a Kempis), is famous residence of peo-
pie with small incomes. The imagina-
ton of these Dutchmen must be as linn
tied as their incomes, judging from the
droll stories that are told of them, says
Harpers Young People.
At one time fire broke out, and
much damage was done because the en-
gines were out of repair. The council
met, and after much argument it was
voted that on the eve preceding every
fire the town officers should carefully
examine the engines, pumps, etc.
One OF the greatest profits of the town
was the toll exacted at the gates. The
council wished to increase the income,
and instead of increasing the toll II
voted to double the number of gates.
This same council also ordered the sun
dial to be taken from the courthouse
common and placed under cover, where
it would be protected from the weather.
But of all the queer things that are
told of Kempen and its people nothing
is SO absurd as this: Grass grew on the
top of very high tower, and the only
way these droll Dutchmen could think
of to get it off was to hoist COW up
and let her eat it.

The Palmetto Proving Useful.

The graceful palmetto, that grows so
profusely in the lower tiers of the
southern states, has recently become a
factor in the industries of the south,
for its wood is hard enough to carve
and its fiber is strong enough to make
excellent cordage and useful substi-
tute for sponges. In Jacksonville, Fla,
a factory has been started for the pur-
pose of making brushes and brooms of
the fiber, and elsewhere sink brushes
are being made of the wood, half of
whose thickness is being converted into
bristling points. The young leaves of
the tree make salad that the people
are beginning to appreciate, and the
taste of it Is lils ened to that of chest
nuts. Bears knew about it long before
the people did, and it is favorite arti-
Gle of diet among them - the black
bears climbing the trees and browsing
on the fresh shoots as eagerly as they
browse on watermelons.

According to . recent decree OF the
Austrian courts of law, eonceslment Of
age on the part of the bride is sufficient
to invaidate the marriage. An Aus
trian baron has succeeded in obtaining
IN annulment Of his union in conse-
quence Of his wife's having pretended
at the time of Its celebration that she
was fifteen years younger than her real
age. ~s
Hitherto concealment of age by
women has always been considered as
to certain extent defensible and Gus
tomary, and no one has ever dreamed
Of regarding these departures from the
strict truth in the light of legal
fraud. 1t is, however, well in any case
to remember the old adage according
to which woman is as old as she looks,
says the New York Tribune, and If she
be passe in appearance 1t is useless for
her to claim q fctitiously youthful age.
There is an attractiveness attaching
to each period Of life, and the veteran

BITTEN BY A DOG.

Twas . Fearful Bite, But the Blood
Didn't Pour from His Boot.
A Lewiston man was bitten by a dog
the other day, says the Lewiston Jour
nal. He felt the dog bite into his leg,
close its teeth upon each other, and just
scrape the bone. He kicked the dog
over the Pine Street church steeple "a
hyperbole,) and limped home. Half
way there the blood began to run into
his boots. He could hear 1t swash!
swash! swash, he says.
Every now and then he began to look
back to see where his trail, like that OF
his ancestor at Valley Forge, should be
marked by blood. When he reached
home he took every precaution against
ensanguined tapestry and bloody door
mats. He took hts person to the sleep
ing-room, held his foot over the cuspi-
dor, and gently took OF his boot.
HIS sight wavered and vision ned.
Was that his bloodY Then things
slsarsd and he saw no blood. There
was mono in his boots, none In hia
socl.A, none on his tourserloons, none
anywhere, and he has been hunting -
this day to see whsrs the dog bit him.

Statistics Showing Their Number ans
Variety In Spain.


Variety In Spain.
Judging from the taurine statistics,
bull-fighting is not decreasing in Spain.
"a Spanish merchant" writes Mad
rid correspondent, ''could bear the loss
of his king with more resignation than
the abolition of his favorite sport, and
an Iberian republican would prefer his
'corrida de toros' (bull-fght) to any re-
publ;,, even If granted three acres and

more pride than hard cash, will cheer
fully forego his Sunday dinner it, by so
doing, he may secure his seat in the
bull ring. Maria and Juanita will
readily deny themselves for time q
new dress rather than miss the excite
ment of the Plaza de Toros' Besides,
are not their raven black hair, blue
black eyes, rosy lips whence proceed
sparkling wit and lively repartee), their
small hands (which manipulate the fan
with such grace), and their tiny feet, on
which they glide, all sufficient to at
tract glances of admiration? During
the present year the number of first-
class bull fights in important cities has
been $50, the bulls killed being 1854.
There have also been 307 fights Of
young bulls (novillos), in which 1,407
were slaughtered. OF the chief fights,
20 took place in Madrid, 1S in Seville, 10
in Barcelona and II in Valencia. Two
men-picadors-w killed: of the es-
padas and banderillos 16 were more or
less seriously wounded. In each course
from six to eight bulls are done to
death; but recently in Madrid, in q
fight which extended two days, 1S were
finished off. Many of the enthusiasts
Judge the merit of the fight by the num-
Der of the horses slain. On some days
"a, or even more, are gored to death by
the long horns Of the Spanish bulls.
The bull ring in Madrid holds $4,000
spectators, who are still apparently de-
lighted with the barbarous and horri-
BILE spectacle, in which blood flows
plentifully, and aged or unsound horses
are disemboweled on the sandy arena :"

An Americs. Institution.

An Englishman who has now learned
two or three things about America in
general and New York In particular,
admits that he did q very amusing and
British thing when he first crossed q
New York ferry. 1t seems that the fer
ryboats of this town are famed abroad
for their size aud steadiness, and this
particular Briton had been assured that
he would never know he'was ahoat when
on one of these boats by means Of any
motion perceptible in the cabin. Re-
membering all this, the Englishman
seated himself in one of the ferry
houses on first coming to the city and
patiently waited until the usual Ameri-
can rush for the wharf should proclaim
his arrival at the opposite shore. No
rush occurred, however, and after sew
eral boats had come and gone the Briton
made the humiliating discovery that he
had been thinking better of an Ameri-
can institution than it deserved.

SEA GULL As MESSENGER.
News OF . Famous Disaster Carried to the
Living by q Gull.

Living by Gull.
"The news of famous disaster on
the great Indian ocean was lately
brought 20 the living by a sea gull"
said traveller, who was on his way to
New Zealand, according to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
''Some years ago the Indian liner At
lantis, plying between Liverpool and
Calcutta, was lost in the Indian sea
and all on board perished. At that time
i was sailing from London to New
South Wales via the Red and the Indian
seas. The boat l was on was the Tri-
tonia, good sound vessel, and had an
enjoyable trip. While sailing in the
Indian sea a sea gull was one day cap
tured and about its neck was tied
small note, which read:
"Atlantis struck on the Harad rock.
We are all lost. Father Coathe.'
"This remarkable message was all
that was ever found. The boat had
sailed some five months previous, well
stocked with merchandise and passen.
gers, and had been duly inspected and
pronounced seaworthy. 1t must have
been a terrific shock that caused her to
sink. But the message was strange.
Who Father Coathe was and how he
happened to have sea gull at hand
will always remain a mystery. What
wonderful courage he must have had,
standing as he did on the brink of eter
nifty and there writing message to the
living.
eve continued our journey to Sidney,
where the note and sea gull were both
delivered to the harbormaster, together
with the evidence of the crew. This
was afterward sent to England, where
the knowledge was distributed. 1t
seems to me that few such facts as
these would serve to build narrative
upon, and you can easily believe that it
would be more interesting than fiction"

The Key Note.

The people of the United States
are to be congratulated upon the
failure of a compromise measure to
materialize. The extra session of
Congress was called with a distinct
end in view. President Cleveland
was elected when all the world knew
his views upon our existing none
tary laws. The House, direct
representative of the people-has
expressed itself most Enthusiastically,
and a yielding by the majority in
the Senate would but establish a
thoroughly dangerous preeedent.
Secretary Carlisle sounded the key
note of rational action, when he
said; The President adheres to
the position that the purchase clause
of the Sherman law should be I'M.
conditionally repealed. The lower
House of Congress voted for repeal
by an overwhelming majority, ma
jority in the Senate is in favor of
unconditional repeal and the senti-
ment of the country demands the
passage of the pending bill The
end of this long and tiresome pro-
eeeding is as much shrowded in
mystery as ever. Continued debate
seems imminent. The cloture rem
edy is merely venture. When it
became known that for the present
a compromise could not be agreed
upon, the silver faction began again
its dilatory tactics. The Senate
and the country settled down once
more, worn out and Disguised. 1t is
a sad plight. This delay is more
than trespass upon the will of the
people. 1t is an outrage. Men
whose possessions render them par
tial are permitted to fix the financial
policy of the entire Nation. Nav
every good gift attend Senator yoor-
bees in his untiring efforts in behhlf
! of the administration.

Military Training schools.

Acknowledgement Williams has
recommended the establishment of
more military training schools
throughout the country, or rather
an increase in the detail of officers
for instruction at the various insti-
tutions operating under military
discipline. The militia system of
the United States is in every way
worthy of the encouragement and
support of the Government. 1t les
sens the necessity for a standing
army and maintains a defensive
power largely in excess of that
which could be carried on by any
other method. The military school
is the preparatory department of
regular army work. By this means,
at comparatively no cost, our effec-
tive force is materially increased.
The adoption of the measures pro-
posed by the Acknowledgement can
but be productive of good.
