AN WITT Ii.

Mr.. Jones, of the Peace Society, has
been telling a little incident which hap
pened on one occasion when he had al
interview with Lii Hung Chang. During
the interview Lii called for champagne
and set a glass before his guest. Mr..
Jones asked to be excused from drink
ing it, and the vieeroy asked and adj
ded, you are an Englishman, and all
Englishmen drink champagne, do they
not?" He explained to the Viceroy that
he and his wife belonged to an organi-
cation, the members of which ~abstained
on principle from all kinds g" intoxicants
just for examples sake. The Viceroy re-
quested the interpreter to repeat the OBJ
servation. He was struck with it, and
it seemed to take such an effect upon
his mind that he rose UP in his chair,
and, giving a very profound bow, 81 per-
eefve. sir, you are a man of benevolence."

FROGS FOR MARKET.
The Professional Catches Them i'm a
Senni.DOrn1ant State.

The professional Catches Them IN a
SeIni.DOFnan Stale.
The frogs will not be eating much
longer now. Many of them have already
eaten a good hearty meal and gone to
the bottom for their winters sleep. They
will lie there until May. The first thun-
derstorm in May always brings them up
again, good and hungry, ready to eat
the first bug or insect they get their
blinking yes upon.
Although the frogs are out of sight
in winter, says a professional frog
catcher, I do not stop my work. Early
in October I go all over the ground and
make note of where they are settling.
Then 1 have comparatively little trouble
in getting them. 1 use a "h~urdy-gurdy,"
or combination rake and net on the end
of a long pole. The rake is to clear away
the rubbish in the bottom of the ditch
and at tine same sweep the net picks up
the frogs, if there are any there. 1 get
more in the winter han I do in warm
weather, because they are in a torpid
state n can't get way SO fast.
The catch varies. Some lays l get five
dozen, others fifteen dozen. l guess I
catch on an average ten dozen a day.
1t is no trouble to sell them. One gnme
dealer takes nearly all | catch. l sell
a good many live frogs to students for
experimenting purposes. I also supply
several Observation-Disclosures Press.

POLICE STOPPED THE MILL

Although the score of Linden Club
bowlers in the next match game with
Homesteads of Elizabeth, at Smiths al
leys, No. 466 Ocean avenue, last night
was far below their average, the con-
test was close enough to be interest
ing. The low scores were due to the
alleys, which, being new, last nights
game being the first rolled on them,
We're not in condition for high scores.
Considering the conditions under which
the game was rolled, the scores of both
teams are cvreditable. Captain George
Nassar, who is one of the most reliable
bowlers in Hudson county, received his
first setback in the shape of a low score,
but the majority of his team kept him
company, and he was not alone in his
misery. Joe Filoramo. who holds high
average score. knocked a large hole in
his average, his score being but 12O.
August Smith met hard luck in the last
frame. With a double header to his
credit he had an opportunity to make
g good score, but his first ball in the
with a total score of 1SS. His brother
Fred Smith did the best work for the
Lindens, his score being 16S. Jack Perry
was second, with 159. For the visitors,
French did the best work. He banged
the naples for a score of 156. The Lin
dens took the lead in the first frame,
and held it until the seventh, when the
HomesteadS made a squirt and passed
them. AT the tenth frame the visitors
were still ahead, and it was nip and
tuck for the victory. The Lindens land
ed the game by eleven pins. The score:
LINDEN.

SAVED 500 CIGARS.
Dealer Frisch'S Experience with a
Nice Young Man.

Nice Young Man.
E.. j.. Frisch, a cigar dealer of No. $40
Newark avenue, had a narrow escape
yesterday afternoon from being swindled
out of about 40 worth of cigars. He was
standing in front of his store when a
well dressed young man representing
himself to be a clerk at the City Hall,
handed him a letter which read as fol-
lows
"E. j. Frisch.
Dear Sir-Please send by bearer 500
Gedney House cigars, Colorado. Please
send bill as l am anxious to remit a
check at once. I want 800 because / am
to haye a reception at my home. ] sup
pose | may return all those, the wrap
pers of which are not broken, and be
credited with the same.
Join 4. SCOTT
Frisch filed the order but instead of
giving them to the bearer of the note,
gave them to a messenger to deliver to
Mr.; Scott at his office in the City Hall.
Frisch was congratulating himself up
on his good luck. He was so delighted
that he showed the order to Policeman
C~ayanagh. The policeman looked at the
Il see City Clerk Scott's signature
every month and I'll swear that this is
a forgery"
Frisch lost no time in reaching the
City Hall. He created a sensation dash
ing down Newark avenue. Small boys
chased him, but Frisch wanted those
cigars and he paid no attention to any
one. He burst into the City Clerks
office, grabbed the cigars and then sat
down to recover his breath.
Mr.. Scott declared the order a forgery
as soon as he glanced at it. The police
are looking for the swindler. 1t is be-
lieved that the young man who presented
the orGer saw Frisch chasing the mes
senge boy. AS a result he skipped
without making n effort to steal the
cigars.

A COLORED MAN MADE WEITE.

A queer story comes from North Caro-
lima. Sam Spence, a colored man of
Union county, was in the woods gather
ing wild grapes. He climbed a tree n
slipped off. His foot became entangled
in the vines and he was suspended in the
air by one foot. Spence had to wait for
assistance, which did not arrive for more
han an hour. The blood all flowed to-
ward his head, n after he was taken
down he became very sick. Since that
time all the wool on his head has pulled
out, and he is getting almost as white
as a white man. His skin first began
fading in spots, which have now spread
all over his body.

THE SERGEANT HAD THE TIP.
So the Will at h DAILY and Thomp-
son Show Was stopped.

1t was rumored last night in pugilistic
circles that there would be a fight at
the DAILY "A Thompson Associations
show at Kessler's Hall, Central avenue.
This was simply a tip, but it resulted in
a crowded hall.
There was no notice of the bout on
the programme, but Sergeant Flannelly,
of the Sixth precinct, was on to the
game, and made it his business to be
present.
About half-past eleven o'clock the stage
was cleared, and preparations were made
for the scrap. At a signal from the mas
ter of ceremonies two men appeared in
full fighting costume, shook hands n
began to punch each other in lively
style. The first round HAD hardly begun
when Sergeant Flannelly jumped on the
stage and stopped the mill.
The pugilists had failed to secure a
permit from the Chief of Police. From
all appearances the set-to was to be
for blood. Light gloves were used, and
there would have been some exciting
rounds had not the Sergeant interfered.
An unsuccessful effort was made to
learn the names of the principals.
