that occurred way back in tho seven

Joker he Is now. and he used to have
lots OF fun with q pet monkey he called
Felix. / don't know what kind OF o

aud one OF the fellows took out two
Mexican quarters 10 pay II. On his way
to the bar he stopped to fool with Felix.
and before he knew II the monk had
grabbed the quarters and had them
stored away In his pouch. The fellow
was dazed for a minute, but he braced
up, and approaching Dickson remarked:
"Say, Bill, me and Pat got . bite, and
the check was forty cents. had two

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

French Ministry Passes Through Another
Crisis because OF the Panama Scandal.
---Boston Scorched Again.

Paris cable: M. Bourgeois, minister
of Justice has resigned his Office, the
outcome of the testimony given in the
Panama case by Nine. Cottu. She
swore that few days after the arrest
of her husband, she learned that the
government, annoyed at the turn the
prosecution was taking, desired to sup
press it and sought an intermediary
between themselves and the Panama
canal directors. NJ. Soinoury asked
her if she had any compromising docu-
ments which might be useful to the
government and she declared that she
was given to understand that the sur
sender of these documents was to be
made through the release of her hus-
band. On being called to the stand
Soinoury swore that he had never
threatened or attempted to make bar
gain with Mime. Cottu, but was latter
much confused on cross examination.
M. Bourgeois, in his letter announc'
ing his resignation, said that he re-
signed because NJ. Soinoury's evidence
has failed to establish the fact that he
had never authorized anyone TO ap
proach Nine. Cottu in connection with
| the Panama case and he felt that there
was no alternative but to resign II
order to free himself from all suspi
ciou.

Prosecuting Attorney +. +. Palmer IN
favor of a resolution repeating the

the resolution. He claimed that the
law can and should be enforced. Res
olutions favoring its repeal were finally
adopted and also one for a strong

Chicago switchmen win Not strike.

tbs certain now that the Chicago
switchmen will not go out on strike,
they having returned an answer to the
general managers. The switchmen
were somewhat astonished by the array
of public sentiment against any strike
at this time, almost every paper in the
city having declared that the attempt
savored too much of an attempt at eX-
tortion because of the immense amount
of traffic incipent to the Worlds Fair.
Besides this the general managers were
so well prepared for strike that there
was but a small chance of the men be-
ing successful, and the switchmen were
smart enough to read the signs OF the
times and see that they really had but
a small chance for winning.

Mrs. Matthew Shafer, of st. Clair,
took her life in horrible manner.
Twice she cut and hacked herself with
a rusty knife. AS she failed to bleed
TO death she ran to the river and
jumped in hole throug the ice.
1t was about o'clock in the morn
ing when Mr.. Shafer awoke and found
his wife gone. In the kitchen he was
mortified to see big pool of blood and
an old CORY knife on the table. A
bloody trail led to the river, around
two schooners and was finally lost at a
hole in the ice, and the body was found
lodged against "a schooner 80 feet be-
low the hole she had jumped in. Mrs.
Shafer had cut a narrow cash into her
wrist with rusty caseknife that looked
Az though the edge IN ght have been
roughed upon a coarse stone, ana al
though She had cut half way round she
somehow missed the artery. Disap-
pointed in her efforts, she rushed hur-
riedlv to the river, as her footprints in
dicated, with nothing on her person
but a nightdress and shoes and stock
ings, and threw herself into the open
ing.
Mrs. Schafer was nearly worn out
taking care of her children, who have
been suffering from fever one after an
other for about two months. A few
DAYS ago she was taken down will
fever which affected her mind. Sh'
was A years old and the mother o
eight children.

WHICH 1ohiS
One of the most destructive fires in
the history of Boston, next IN magnl-
tude TO the famous one of Thanksgiv-
ing Day, 1883, broke out in the same
district and before it was placed I'M
der control, three hours later, had
burned over more than a square, had
reduced to ashes several of the magnl-
ficent new buildings recently com
pletcd on the territory burned over
three and half years ago, had con-
sumed property valued by conserva-
tive estimate at $500, 900, had been
attended by scenes of panic and dis
tress never before equaled in the mem
orv of citizens now living and had de-
stroyed several, perhaps many, human
lives and mangled or manned at least
30 persons, some of whom will die oil
their injuries Four dead bodies were
taken from the ruins.
The fire started in n seven story
building which was principally occu
pied by toy manufacturing firm
! The panic stricken inmates fled to the
windows and roof. Some escaped by
sliding down telegraph poles, Others
by leaping into blankets and nets
Several jumped to the pavement, six o
eight stories, and were terribly man
gled, and others, how many canno
now be told, fell back into the cauldrol
of flames or were overcome by TIT
dense black smoke which sutfocated al
who did not speedily escape.
