Against the Game-Keepers.
Edward Skunk and David st. Clair,
employees of Ross & Weber, have been
charged by Gus Smith, a barkeeper, with
gaming and battery. Smith alleges that
several nights ago he lost some money at
the Second and * streets faro game, and
when he asked the game-keeper for a loan
of 81 90 he was assaulted by Skunk.
Nate Sterling, a barber, who was with
Smith, says he was also assaulted, but
does not know which of the accused men
was his assailant. He was laid up for
several days, and was reimbursed for his
lost time.

The ideas Of mankind and woman
kind as to which i the costliest fur
or skin known differ materially, and
few are aware that the skin of fox
brings the highest price in the fancy
skin market This is the black fox of
kamchatka, whose skin dresses a very
becoming blue. These animals are
very scarce and hard to kill, and for
this reason especially their fur is
worth small fortune, a single skin
seldom going begging for purchaser
at as reasonable a figure as ZOO.
Astrakhans are still very valuable,
but they have no chance when it
comes to competing with a skin as
valuable as that of a black or blue
fox, which has so II any lovers in Eu-
rope that much difficulty is expert
enced in securing il this side of the
Atlantic. The skin is so light that a
coat or jacket made of it weighs a
mere bagatelle, although it costs a
first-class salaried man a whole years
income to secure it.

disobedience, and the crew lurked
about the deck to learn what would
be done with him. The captain low
cred the offenders grade, thus reduc-
ing his shore leave, then ordered him
to be put in the caboose. As he was
being led away the captain added:
Gin solitary confncusnt for five days.

and finally, as the culprit reached the
hatchway, ''cut of his tobacco" The
men were awed by the severity of
"the old man." and there was not
another arrest on the voyage, even
though the captain releuted and freed
the man after the first day Of his
confinement.

BUYING A sAeY CARRIAGE.
Jones Knew Thing or Two But Not
Much About Wheels.

Jones Knew Thing Two But Not
Much About Wheels.
An importa ii thing had happened
in young Mr.. Jones household and
he went over to the city to buy a
baby carriage. Nothing was too
good for him and he finally selected
a delicate ere alton of wickerwork,
with Russian leather trimmings and
pale blue silk lace Jones lives in
Jersey, half a miles ride from New
York.
The carriage arrived next day
boxed up with as muca care as though
it were q crato> of china or a racing
bicycle The wheels came in sepa-
rate box.
Mrs Jones had always declared
that her kus and was stupid in do.
ing work aboa5 the house, but she
made no rcmo.strance against her
husbands putting the baby carriage
together.
He succeeded finally in unpacking
the carriage and wheels, though in
doing so he nearly smashed his
thumb with the hammer. He screwed
on the wheels and, then setting the
carriage up, examined his work with
critical eye.
Certainly the vehicle had a pecu-
liar appearance. 1t seemed lopsided,
having decided list to the star
board. That amt the one | or
dered, - said Jones to the nurse girl,
who came in just then and had fixed
pair of wondering eyes on the car
riage- The orc they sold me was
straight. and I'd like to know what
they take me for to send a thing like
this. " Jones gave the carriage a
vicious push ami it wheeled around
in a circle, as a duck swims when
one side is para yzed by shot.
Jones was mad clean through. He
had the carriage put in the cellar
and wrote to the firm from which he
had purchased it to send a man to
take their '.lopS ided swindle" away
Jones hadn't cooled off when the
man came to look at the carriage
The man listened patiently to Jones'
opinion of the firm while he was get
ting the carriage out of the cellar.
~ ny. you blamed fool.' he re-
Piled, however, when the vehicle was
finally submitted to him for inspec-
ton, no wonder its lopsided.
You've put both big wheels on one
side and both little ones on the
other
Jones begged the man to say
nothing about it. and gave him some
good cigars and opened a bottle OF
fine Old Tokay. But the thing was
too good to keep The man told one
OF Jones neighbors whom he met
outside the house, and so the story
spread. That's the reason people
look so curiously at the carriage
when Jones takes the baby out, and
then at Jones an6 then smoker.
