Surprised While Stealing a Ride.

Aman named Edward Fuller Of Phila-
delphia tried to steal ride on Penn
sylvania railroad passenger train from
the Broad street station, intending to
get off at suburban station. Instead
Of getting on local train he boarded
the Cincinnati and st. Louis express
getting between the tender and baggage
car. He could not jump off and was
sitting on the platform when the loco
motive scooped up water from the tank
between the rails. AS the tank in the
tender filled up 1t overfowed and almost
drowned Fuller, who to escape opened
the baggage car door and entered the
car. The huge volume of water poured
in after him and deluged the car, de-
stroying the contents of a number of
trunks. Fuller was arrested when the
train reached Harrisburg and is now in
Jail for malicious mischief. Phila-

Eject Of q Popular Song.

A shining light Of the variety stage has
really come to play prominent part in
the social life of New York city. Some
time since vaudeville songstress named
Lottie ellison caught the fancy of the
metropolis with song entitled Daddy
Won't Buy Me Bowwow.' The tune
full ditty is now heard in every drawing
room and at every musicale in New
York. The refrain has become sort Of
catchword and points half the bits Of
repartee exchanged in the resorts and
rendezvous Of fashionable folk. A
gloomy look or a somber air invariably
brings forth the explanation that its
cause is due to the circumstance that
daddy won't buy me bowwow. -

A Suggestion About an Innovation.

The old French chateaux are serving
as models for some of the beautiful
country palaces of rich Americans. One
not far from New York has, in true pro-
vincial style, the stables at one end of the
long range of buildings which widens at
the other into noble banqueting hall.
"An of which may be very 'old
French" said woman recently guest
there, "and there is no evidence of the
union of the two portions of the estab-
lishment, but I could not help feeling
that there was a chance, speaking broad
ly, of the fly in the dining room having
very recently left the stalls of the
horses. New York Times.

Forbidden to Swear by Chickens Head.


The trial of William Walsh, charged
with robbery in the first degree, was be-
gun in the criminal court yesterday. The
defendant was represented by Ben Clark
An amusing sclne ensued when Clark
demanded that Jeu Hon Yee, Chinese
interpreter, who was present to interpret
the Chinese witnesses, be sworn in the
Chinese fashion, and that the same rule
be pursued in regard to all the other wit
nesses. Judge Edmunds inquired what
was the Chinese oath, and Clark replied
that the head of live chicken must be
cut off in the Chinaman's presence while
he uttered certain words, unintelligible
to the American ear, which signifed that
he hoped he would be treated in the same
way if he told lie while giving his tes-
timony. Humane Agent Holmes here
interposed and objected to any chicken
decapitation on the ground of cruelty
Judge Edmunds stated that he could
think Of no precedent in the law books
for such q proceeding, and did not think
he would countenance it. Judge Ed
munds, after explaining to the China
men that they were liable to be sent to
the penitentiary if they did not tell the
truth, allowed the trial to proceed. ST.

Prize For Letters Of Re,eot,on.

A London weekly has made new de-
parture from the well worn path of COM
petition. 1t offers a prize for the best
letter of rejection, the writer being sup
posed to have the kindliest of feelings
toward her suitor and to wish to retain
him as friend, although unable to ac-
cept his hand. Some inexperienced girl
who never had an offer OF marriage In
her life will probably be winner in this

Another Authentic Portrait of columbu.


An alleged discovery at Naples of a
beautiful authentic portrait by Titan
of Christopher Columbus has caused a
great sensation there. Our correspond
ent writes: The full length life size por-
trait was shown to me by Signor Gamma
vina, the antiquarian, who purchased it
from Count Aldobrandi at Bologna. The
whole, with the exception of the face
and hands, had been coarsely painted
over. This extraneous coat being re-
moved, the figure in the uniform of a
Spanish admiral was revealed.
The pose and coloring are very quiet;
the face is that of man with hair Just
turninggray; the eeyesare blue, thoughtful
and even sad; the mouth is firmly cut,
and he wears a pointed, short blond beard
and mustache. On the tapering fingers
are three massive rings The canvas is
of a peculiar twilled kind. Signor Can
navina possesses documents which vouch
for the authenticity of the picture. It is
to be sent for exhibition to Chicago -
