Ar EFFECTIVE REMEDY.

gut 1t Gave the Housemaid . Great Fright.
Chemistry as deterrent OF crime is
yet undeveloped, but there is certain
young man in this city who has made
some remarka BILE advances in that di.
rectiOn.
Although he has spent much of his
life in hotels and boarding-houses, he
lost his patience the other day when
he discovered that his toilet accessories
were subject to a strange and mex.
plica BILE disappearance.
He complained to the landlady. but
for all that the mysterious disappear
Rnces continued. Bottle after bottle Of
cologne suffered from most mysterious
leakage, and, to add to his other woes,
his whisky just as strangely disap.
peared. He suffered as long as human
endurance suffers before rising to the
sticking point, and then he laid trap
for the offender.
AT dinner that evening the dessert
was about to be brought in when
series of piercing shrieks came from
the direction of his bedroom. The
boarders rushed upstairs. On the up
per landing there sat what was recog-
nized as the wreck of the households
cham bermaid. Her face was black as
the skin of a Zanzibari negro, and her
hair, carroty red in its natural state,
was streahed and spotted from the
nape of her neck to her forehead. She
was sick-sicker than was ever trans
atlantic traveller in a hurricane. Be-
tween her gasps she raved and shrieked
like 4 maniac, while the young man
laughed heartlessly at her plight
81 am poisoned" shrieked the cham
6ermaid, and pointing to the young
''that man has killed me ~
The situation began to get SO strained
that the landlady drew the young man
aside for an explanation. The board.
ers, anxious to have the mystery ex.
planned, followed.
''What have you done to ny maid?'
the landlady asked.
And then it all came out
''You rememb ber that spoke Of mys-
terious thetts in my rooms?" said the
culprit. ''Well, they did not stop when
complained. so took my own precau-
tions that they would not continue.
From the condition of your maid I
infer that she has again been helping
herself to my cologne and whisky.
This circumstantial evidence signifies
that she first took a large drink Of
the whisky and then proceeded to
battle i'm the cologne. To the fact
that there is a quantity of tartar
emetic in the whisky is due her ap-
pearance of nausea, and a reasonable
explanation for the peculiar color of
her complexion is the combination of
nitrate of silver with the cologne
Your cham bermaid will be unable
to appear in public for few days, but
/ hardly think that she will disturb
my property again"
All the other boarders agreed with
him. Although the maid did not die
the young man had to move. but he
considers that the success of his ex-
pertinent amply repays him for his an.
noyance.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

CORBETT AND MITCHELL.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Jan. 22-WlilIam
A. Brady, manager for James J. Corbett,
arrived in Jacksonville from Maysport
this morning. He had risen earlier than
the champion pu2ilist, and, after hearing
the story of Mitcheil's backdown, exacted

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Jan. 22.-The

would take back his demand that the

nothing DuC tne cneck up. Mitchell lett

believing that the best interests of the
club would be served by having the

EVANS AND MORRELl.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-An afternoon
paper publishes the statement that the
bandits Evans aud Morrell are safely out
of the state and are sailing on the high
seas, free from pursuit. 1t is said that
Evans sent to a friend in Arizona a narra-
tive of his adventures after his escape from
the Jail at Fresno. The story goes that he
drove directly to siding on the Southern
Pacific railroad. near the town, where he
entered box car, the door of which had
been left open by a brakeman in consider
alton OF 500. The Car previously had been
stocked with provisions. Galveston, Tex,
was reached in few days, and from there
they went to New Orleans under the care
of friend, aud soon shipped.

Stocks CLOSE HIGHER.

New YORK, Jan. 22.-The feature of the
stock market today was speculation in Sugar
shares, which were very actively traded in. A
selling movement was inaugurated at the
opening, based on he belief that the tariff
debate in the house would demonstrate that
the sugar refiners had little to hope for in the
way of protection. The first price made
showed a break Of 21a per cent in Sugar pre-
ferred and Is per cent in common. Further
declines were rapidly recorded, especially in
common. The debate in congress not taking
the turn anticipated, the bears grew fright
ened and began to cover. This caused reac-
tion and at the close the loss for the day was
only 14 per cent in preferred and IS per cent
in common.
The general list was weak at the opening
and fraction lower. London was in the
market as seller of Atchison. Union Pacific
and Others, thus assisting in the depression
here. Some good buying from the west, how
ever, caused a reaction, and prices generally
recovered the early loss, and in some cases
established a higher range. The market was
alternately weak and firm during the after
noon, but finally closed firm, with the final
sales in a majority of cases showing advances
over Saturday. Missouri, Kansas and Texas
was per cent higher

young couple sat in the forward
cabin. They Were probably ''en-
gagged" Opposite them sat well
dressed loafer, not big enough to be
called a bruiser, but bearing the marks
of highly finished tough Presently
the young man of the couple got up,
walked over to the tough and saio:
''See here: you have been annoying

man went back to his seat beside the

Then the tough arose, staggered
over to the couple and leered down at
the young man. II suppose you think

said. Now, wat yer 'goin' t do about

1t was crisis. The young man with
the girl hesitated to precipitate
vulgar fight in cabin where his own
sweetheart and other ladies were sit
ting. While he hesitated-in the in
slant following the ruffianly remark of
the tough-a step sounded from the
upper end of the ca bin and the stately
figure of an exceedingly tall, hand
some, well-built gentleman, with an
''old school, dignity in his manner,
appeared on the scene.

figure, in voice like the hero in the

He looked down witheringly on the

And the stately gentleman with the

led him down the cabin.
At the door he paused and added:
''On further thought, L will kick you

forcibly kicked the shriveled and
whimpering tough into the darkness
of the outer deck. When the boat
reached the dock the elected party was
seen to scamper out of sight in the
briskest possible manner. 1t is the
testimony of the young couple that the
