Mary Anderson is a negro woman who
lives south of DIR. Hassell's. BY hard
work and economy she saved in a period
Of two years a little over $50 with which
in which TO spend her declining years.
As far as her money is concerned Mary
will have to begin anew, for her confidence
In humanity has proved hurtful to her
exchequer. Last week a man peddling
dry goods called at Mary's home and sold
her q bill of goods. When h went to
pay him she revealed a bulk Of silver
which she had hidden away. The peddler
seemed interested in her welfare, and
urged her not to keep silver in her house.
He told her it was dangerous to keep that
kind of money, that it could not DO hid
den easily and that some one would steal
1t. He was kind enough to offer her
paper money for it, and she was unsus-
pecting enough to take it. A fifty dollar
counterfeit was given her for so much sill.
YER coin and the peddler went on his way
rejoicing. Mary did not dream OF being
robbed until she took her money to thu
bank Wednesday to get it changed. o
course she did not get 1t changed, nor buy
the lot. The counterfeit she had was on,
of the rankest we have ever seen. 1t wa
the color OF paper money, and hat wa
all. The peddler should be hunted, and
TO say the least. punished according Il
law. However, a right nice hemp rope

The Blacklist Of Paris Tailors.

In Paris the Tailors' syndicate is pre-
pairing new edition Of their black book
which was originally published II years
ago. The blackbook contains the names
and descriptions Of those persons who do
not pay for their clothing. Once man
is inscribed in it he is unable to obtain
clothing at any establishment unless he
is prepared to pay cash before delivery.
The work in question contains num-
Der of curious details with regard to the
delinquents abhorred of tailordom.
Among them are 2j4 tradesmen and only
| concierge; 1S5 commercial travellers to
2 priests and antiquaries; 94 students to
3 translators, 3 hairdressers, waters
and 3 house painters; 81 publicans, and,
curiously enough, precisely the same
number of journalists and men of letters;
70 professors, 80 engineers, 40 artists, 40
actors, 40 servants or walters, 81 drug
gists, SO financiers, 33 architects, 27 doc
tors, 27 jewelers., "a workingmen, 10
musicians, ii persons of independent
means, 12 bookmakers, sculptors, 1
Egyptologist, ex mayor and NEGRO"
Even as it is, with the aid of the infor-
nation given in this book, it is said that
the Partisan tailors are cheated out of
from 2 to per cent. of the money due
to them.-Paris Letter.

Here is an amusing incident which
happened on her lnajesty's ship Can
ada in 1888, when the Duke Of York
was on board. 1t occurred when
the vessel was but a few days at sea.
Because royalty was aboard un-
usual precautions were observed to
make the ship thoroughly safe.
When an inventory Of the commits
sariat was taken, two suspicious
looking boxes were found among the
stores of which no account could be
discovered. This was a time when
The alleged activity Of Irish dynamit

The sedate old captain ordered the

After moro than two months on

THE HYSTERY SOLVED.

CITY Attorney Young has friends in
Sanborn, Iowa, and recently stopped
there on visit. He has received a
letter from there solving the mystery
that has surrounded the little girl
who was picked up in this city by
Miss Mcleod on circus day. 1t will
be remembered that a note was found
pinned to the little girls hat purport-
ing to be signed by her aunt, and ask
ing that she be cared for, as the writer
was too poor to support the child.
The letter is from a hardware mer-
chant, and is as follows:
SANBORN, Iowa, June q, 1894.
w. e. YOUNG, Esq,
MankatO, Mlnn.,
DEAR SIR AND FRIEND:
| see by the Minneapolis Journal
this morning, a clipping OF which en-
close, that Annie ROdemaker IS in
Mankato. She is legally adopted by
one Chas. ii. Wilcox 'Or Wilcox, :"
who skipped out in the middle of the
night from SanbOrn about two weeks
ago. He is railroad man and prob
ably out of a job. He is sandy COM
pleXioned, light hair, wears a
mustache rather long and nearly white
in color; about thirty-two years Of age,
5 feet s inches in heighth. Was a
Methodist by profession here. Annie
lived with us six or seven weeks last
winter. Her mother is in the asylum
for the insane in this state. Should
like to have Mr.. w. made to care for
the child, and thought perhaps you
would give this to the chief of police.
Perhaps you could find out where he
was. Wilcox has worked on the
Omaha road, and has a stiff finger on
his right hand, the first one | think.
If you find him please drop me card,
