81 had queer experience with burglar
in Minneapolis hotel during the Repub-
lican convention" said Ferd E. Wadell.
"When | retired 1 turned the key, but
without having the door quite closed and
as a result the bolt did not enter the lock.
About 2 o'clock was awakened by slight
noise. A street light shone into the room,
and / could plainly see a man rifling my
pockets. l had both watch and purse un-
der my pillow, but was unarmed. l at
first thought | would not take chances on
getting hurt by molesting the fellow, but
when / saw him coolly approprating a
scarfpin that my wife had given me,
changed my mind and said to him very
quietly, i guess you don't need that
He started toward the door, but spirit
of recklessness had seized me and l or
dered him to stop. Evidently thinking me
armed, he did so. He stood near an open
window and held a small revolver in his
hand. l told him to throw it into the
street, and he did so. / then made him
turn on the light, and he looked surprised
and relieved to find that l was not point
ing pistol at him. He was a rather good
looking young fellow and did not at all
resemble a criminal. He admitted that
this was not his first offense, however.
He was clerk in Il Minneapolis dry goods
house, and had got into 8 way of living
which his salary would not support. He
sat down on the foot of the bed and talked
it all over with me.
"He was very pale and his chin quivered
little, but he did not do the baby act
He said he supposed that he would get a
couple of years at Saltwater and that he
deserved it, sat up in bed and read him
a lecture, then told him to go and sin no
more Ny words appeared to touch him.
He shook my hand, thanked me for my
forbearance and left me- l slept with a
clear conscience until o'clock. Then 1
awoke to find that watch, purse and scarf
pin were all gone. st. Louis Globe-Dem.

involuntary mission Of revenge. 1t is
possible also that there came to him
the first vague conception Of the wrong
he had done thi. Indian girl, who un-
doubtedly married him because she
cared for him after her heathen fashion,
while he had married her for nothing
that was commendable, not even for
passion, which may be pardoned, nor
for vanity, which has its virtues. He
had had his hour with circumstance.
Circumstance would have its hour with
him in due time Yet there was no ex-
traordinary revulsion. He was still an
cry, cynical and very sore. He would
SEQ the play out with consistent firm
ness. He almost managed smile when
o letter was handed to him some weeks
later, bearing his solicitors assurance
that Mrs. Frank Armour and her maid
hadVbeen safely bestowed on the Aphro-
dite for England This was the first act

Every one of the suburbs of New York
maintains at least one errand man. Some
of the larger towns keep two or three men.
These men call themselves the town mes
sengers. If u customer asks at store for
anything that is not in stock, the trades
man, if he is enterprising, says he will
have it next day. He means that when
the local messenger comes around he will
tell him to go to certain store in New
York and get the article.
Such messenger makes a round of all
the stores in one of these little towns every
night, and in the morning takes the cars
or steamboat to the city and goes the
rounds Of the wholesale houses for the
storeman, the grocer, the jeweler, the dem
tist, the dry goods man and all the rest.
If he is smart he works the railroad for a
pass on the ground that he feeds it with
freight. If not he buys yearly commu-
tation ticket, such as now gives man rates
as low as twenty cents for fifty miles and
back.
These messengers are paid so much for
each errand they run, and often make four
or five dollars day.-New York Sun.

SENATOR CAMDEN.

Passage of the Tariff Bin.
Special % Baltimore Sun.

Special 10 Baltimore Sun.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Camden'
of West Virginia, was speaking to your cor
respondent to-day about the recent proclama-
ton of the Minnesota democracy. He said
that while it was an anonymous production
and therefore not entitled to as much consid-
Grafton as if reputable signatures were affixed
to it, he thought it might be due to himself to
take some notice of it. So far as its structures
applied to him they were absolutely without
any foundation or warrant. He had never in
the slightest degree undertaken to dictate to
the finance committee with respect to its ac-
ton on the Wilson tariff bill. He had made
no demands, requested no stipulations, exact
ed no conditions as the price of his support
To the contrary, he had by every means in his
power endeavored to tighten the difficulties
and embarrassments which beset the commit
tee: he had aided the members as far as he
could in facilitating the report of the bill to
the Senate. He expected, and had always ex-
pected to vote for the bill in whatever shape
it was agreed upon as a. party measure, and had
not the most remote idea of separating him
self from the body of his party friends. He
would leave nothing undone, so far as he was
concerned, to expedite the passage of the BILL
This very full and frank statement of Mr..
Camden, without any doubt, removes him
from the list of conservatives"

Col. Butterworth, attorney of Col. Breck
inridge says Miss Pollard is an actress,
equal to Clara Morris or Sarah Bernhard.
She can simulate any passion or emotion,
and it is my opinion that this is but the
prelude to her going on the stage. cannot
but think that that was one of her reasons
for bringing the suit, and that it was
brought in the political and social capital
for the theatrical and Grammatical effect it
would have upon the public mind. Miss
Pollard is the most remarkable witness l
ever saw or ever heard or ever read of. She
has her case thoroughly in hand-every
detail of it. Never saw anything like the
tact and art of this woman. If there is a
time when she has not ready answer she
will make a plea for sympathy to gain time
and all the time her mind is active to coin
some nice phrase or apt one in which to
reply. You remember when she pleaded
that was hard on her. That was to gain
time to think in critical moment. She
has nothing to gain IL she wins her
suit, where she could have had everything
her own way had she so willed. She could
have gone anywhere or done anything and
a word from her would have been law with
Breckenridge She could have had what
she wanted" Rev. Dr. Gregg, at Twelfth
Presbyterian Church, Baltimore, on Sunday
referred to the Pollard Breckenridge case,
and among other things said: "The plain
tiff by testimony has been proved to be a
woman of rare mind and brilliant parts,
ambitious, courageous, lover of nature,
and no doubt lover of God but to-day
she stands before the world as bird with a
broken wing" Col Breckinridge has the

In our last issue we snnOuncedthe death
of Mrs. Mary W. Faulkner, widow of the
late Hon. c. J. Faulkner The following
tribute is by the editor of the Winchester
Times. "She was a most attractive illustra-
ton of an old fashioned, highbred, cour-
teous lady. A true consort and helpmeet
of her distinguished husband she early be-
came used to associations with the great
ones of the nation. At the Court of Louis
Napoleon, the most brilliant in Europe,
she was conspicuous for her beauty of per-
son and manners, and worthily maintained
the traditionary reputation of Virginia
danes. She was in a social way of great
assistance 10 her husband, and the hOspi-
tality of Boydville under her administra-
ton became famous throughout Virginia.
Possessed of ample means, she was always
charitable to the distressed and exquisitely
thoughtful of the feelings Of all. Harshness
and discourtesy were abhOrrent to her SUI
perbly high-bred nature, and it is doubtful
if in all Of her life she was ever guilty Of q
discourteous word or act. Her children
and grandchildren were much devoted to
her aud experienced a sense of acute be-
reayement in her sudden taking away. Of
lovely character and blameless life, she died
without Pain and without warning and
takes with her the blessings Of those who
enioyed her benefactions and the tears of
her children" Her funeral took place
from "Boydville," her late residence in
Msrtinsburg, on Friday afternoon last.
The remains Of Mrs. Faulkner were
buried in NorbOrue Cemetery, Martinsburg,
on Friday. The funeral took place from
her home, Boydyille, and was largely at
tended by her relatives and friends, with
all Of whom she was great fayorite. Rev.

Consul Meeker, a, Bradford, England, re'
ports that during February and March So
900 pounds of American wool were purchas-
ed in that place in the belief that wool must
advance in price as soon IS the pending tar

prices justi6es this anticipation. With free
wool the demand for American wool to mix
with imported woods increases greatly and
