Breckinridge's Sadness.

Congressman Breckenridge Of Ken
lucky has a sad way of speaking when
he wishes to be impressive, which al
ways is intensified in the last part Of
his speech. Tom Reed came into the
house the other day while Breckenridge
was winding up a speech and listened
for a moment. Then he turned to GEN

A Stupid

AS an or STUPIDITY you
could find ncne better than the manner
in which my house was robbed" said
an east ender. "When the servants got
up, they found all over the house mud
size of the foot that made them. They
were made by a shoe not smaller than
No. 10. Upon trying the dining room
door it was found to be locked. After a
little searching we found a key to open
it. Upon the table were thrown a suit
of clothes and a shirt which had evil
IDENTIFY been brought from one of the up
stairs rooms. Here the fellow had risked
going up stairs, had taken a suit Of
clothes which was new and worth about
$50 and a shirt, then went down to the
dining room and locked himself in while
he examined his plumber. Now comes
the most stupid part. He tore the cuff
bands off a $3.50 shirt to get a pair of
collar buttons worth almost nothing,
evidently not being able to comprehend
that he could remove them more easily
by christening them. Then he took
from the vest pocket a cheap watch,
which only kept the time you used in
keeping it set, and left the suit, which
would have been of use to him. He
then left through the window. If l
hadn't seen the marks of the feet, /
would have thought it the work of a
monkey instead of a man. "-Pittsburg

THE WAR ON THE DRINK TRAFFIC.
The Durant House. Was Again Raided
Monday-.The Proprietor, Charles S.
SWEET, Came into Court Yesterday Fore
noon; But 1t Being Civil Day the Case
Was Continued Until Saturday.

In the Municipal Court yesterday FORE
noon Charles S. SWEET. keeper OF the
Durant House. appeared with his coun-
sci, Ardon W.Coomb BIS, Esq. to answer
to charge. arising out of seizure of
liquor made Monday evening at the
Durant House. This hotel has been in
the public eye much of late, from the
fact that Colonel Fred N. Dow is an
owner of it. Last April search and
seizure was made there. and the keeper
Charles S. SWEET. was brought before the
Municipal Court and paid fine OF
s1o7.66 When the Grand Jury convened
he was indicted.
The seizure Monday evening was made
by Special Liquor Deputies Seth Sterling

some hard stuff, and notified the pro-
prietor to appear, as he did, in the NUM-
cipal Court AS yesterday was civil day,
the hearing was deferred until next Sat-

THE GRAND TRUNK SPECIAL.
How 1t Brought the People from Var
Mouth Last Night.

1t Was Freight Train With Passen
gsr Car at the End-A shackle Broke
The Last Eight Cars Were Left Behind.
1t was announced on the program me
at the Yarmouth Academy anniversary
yesterday that Grand Trunk special
would leave for Portland at IL M
When about 20 Portland people assem-
bled at the station they found freight
train of % cars. with passenger coach
on the end of it. Everything went well
until just after crossing the Falmouth
bridge. the train began to slow up and
finally stopped. Nobody paid much at
tention until somebody came into the
car and said that the engine had gone
off and left them. 1t was difficult to be-
lieve the story, but finally every body
was convinced that they were III the
ridiculous and not wholly pleasant posi-
tion of Icing left behind without any
engine, about half way between the
Falmouth bridge and the Eastern Forge
Company's plant.
A SHACKLE HAD BROKEN
and the engine had gone on to Portland
leaving the four rear cars behind.
Z There was, of course, a cord connecting
the rear car with the engine, but there
were lumber cars intervening,and when
the cord broke it must have been caught
on the lumber, so that it did not ring
the bell in the engine, which went on to
Portland without discovering the loss.
There it left the freight cars and came
back for the others. which were left on
the track about 20 minutes, which was
sufficient to prevent the passengers from
getting home yesterday.

The Beauty of the wild Flo we rs.

When we consider the beauty of the
wild flowers of this continent, we no
longer wonder why great poets have
sung of them in enthusiastic terms, and
great artists lovingly attempted to paint
them. We cannot all see these rare
creations in their homes, but we can
learn their beauty and grace by securing
colored pictures of them, accompanied
by the testimony of our botanists to
their charms, and we are thereby made
capable of knowing them should ever our
footsteps lead us to their romantic habi-
tations. The PRESS solves the problem
in the magnificent work it has secured,
entitled wild Flowers of America 10
every reader of the PRESS-every man
or woman. boy or girl who sees these
words we give the hint. Look out for
the Wild Flower coupon and make sure
Of it. Other cities are wild to get them.
Don't blame us if you miss them and
forever afterwards regret it.

exhibition of brutality would be permitted
at the Yale-Princeton football game TO-
morrow. The Superintendent said he
would not allow the players to act like a
lot of prize fighters and publicly MAIN
each other for life. The game will be
stopped at the first exhibition of brutality.
Members of the football teams will get
no official notification from Supernten-
dent Byrnes of his intention. The Super
intendent Argues thai if the players are
brutal they are law-breakers and there
fore amenabe to arrest. If action is
taken by the police and resistance offered
the enthusiasts at Manhattan field may
witness some wholesale arrests. A police
official, who expressed his opinion only as
a citizen, said it was his belief that there
was not the slightest chance of the game
being interrupted. and the Superin tendent
was making a ''grand-stand play"
Both the Yale and Princeton teams have
arrived in town tonight and crowds at the

show their coloIs. The PrincetOns re-
tired confident of winning tomorrow.

The betting early tonight was to in
favor of Yale, and Princeton adherents do

Strange to Say Not a Passenger
Was hurt

COLUMBIA. s. c.. Nov. 30.-A successful
attempt was made to wreck the incoming
train on the South Carolina and Georgia
Railroad late last night. Some one had
thrown the switch one mile from Kings
vile station. twenty-fy miles from CO.

train was thrown from the track while
coming at fast rate.
The engine was tossed aside, the cars
following. While the cars were rolling
over the lamps and stoves set them on fire
and in quarter of an hour they were in
flames and were completely destroyed and
then ruined the engine. Loss about $751;
600. All the baggage and express cars
were destroyed. Strange TO say none of
the passengers were injured. The wreck
ers are not known.

MRS. MULLlGAN MUST PAY.
Decision Against Her by the Sonoma
SuDerior Court,


Superior Court.
SANTA Rosa. Nov. 30.-A decision was
rendered to-day by Judge Crawford of the
Suprior Court in the case of the city of
Healdsburg against Mrs. Frances Multi
gan. executrix of the late George Y. Multi
gan, late City Treasurer of Healdsburg,
and j. A. Mead. Frank Koenig, Israel
Cook. Robert Haigh and c. Mullen, Null
ligan's bondsmen.
One night about a year ago Mulligan
was found haDdcuffed to tree in the
graveyard near Healdsburg. and he told
remarkable story of being forced TO open
the city safe by masked robbers, who took
away S3541 80 and then marched him out
TO the place where he was found. While
Mulligan has always borne a good char
acter, there were many people who
doubted the story and openly accused
him of having robbed the safe himself.
The affair created great excitement in
the county. in the midst of which Multi
gan, who was nervous, sensitive invalid,
never recovered from his nights exposure
and the openly expressed suspicion of his
neighbors. but died a few months after
ward, protesting his innocence.
This suit was brought to recover the
amount taken from the safe. and judg-
ment was rendered against the defend
ants for the shortage, the interest and
costs,
