A MONKEY ROARING DRUNK.

He Had the Regulation Fun, Including Ar
rest and Swelled Head.
Two policemen conducting drunken
monkey to Jail was one of the unusual
sights seen Sunday. The monkey is a
member of bod Backer's circus, but has
been occupying winter quarters as a
side attraction at Elston's saloon on
East Water street, and was left chained
during the temporary absence of the
proprietor. He managed, however, to
free himself and walked over behind
the bar. He glanced in the big looking
glass back of the row of colOred bot
ties, and seeing another fellow of his
own size picked up a decanter and let
it 60 with his right, and Mr.. ElstOn's
$500 glass was a wreck. His opponent
having been got rid Of, the monkey
proceeded to test the various liquid re-
freshments on hand. He turned on the
beer and took long, deep draft. Then
he sampled the whisky, gin, wine and
various kinds of bitters. 1t WASH t long
until he was roaring drunk. Then he
tackled the cigar case and demolished
that, throwing the cigars about the
room in handfuls.
The monkeys screams and the noise
of shattered glass attracted a crowd
about the front of the saloon. but the
door was locked, and there was no way
to get in. Finally two policemen came
and boosted bold young fellow through
the transom. After a lively tussle he
managed to get rope around the drunk
en- monkey, and he was hoisted through
the window and escorted by the two po-
licemen, one on each side, to Jail, and
lodged in cell. The next morning the
prisoner was very sick and held his head
between his paws. Although it was his
second offense, the recorder suspended
sentence, and he was led back to the
saloon and chained up. The next time
he gets drunk the owner will send him
to the Kelley cure at Binghamton.

The Athletic Chaplain of the House.

The new chaplain of the house is one
of the greatest athletes in the body and
would make an admirable sergeant-at-
arms. Chaplain Bagby is tall, slight
and beardless, and he makes the short
est prayers that have been heard in the
house for years. He is the youngest man
who has been elected chaplain in the
lower branch and is only % years old
now. He is a southerner to his finger
tips, but with any amount of real north
ern activity. All his life has been spent
in the south, except during the few
years that he studied theology at Yale.
He is splendid tennis player and wields
the racket like Hovey. His speciality
is revival work, and he has had won
derful success in awakening religious
enthusiasm. But he does not try TO con-
tert the congressmen.-Wa Washington

AN ESTATE WITHOUT HEIRS.

A Rich South Dakota Cattleman Dies Sud-
denly Without Making a Will.
A Chamberlain is. d. special says
that the immense herd of cattle brand
ed j. B. S. ranging in Lyman coun-
ty has been levied on by the treasurer
of that county for taxes. The owner Of
the herd was John B. Smith, who is re-
ported to have died suddenly in Mime
apolis while on a business trip to that
city some weeks ago. The Lyman
county authorities, however, have no
proof of his death, and there is no record
in the probate court of that county
showing that his estate has ever been
probated. Parties claiming to have held
a mortgage on the stock, but who are
now known to be rustlers, have been
running the cattle out of the country
without any process Of foreclosure, and
the county treasurer finally came to the
conclusion that is was time for him to
act and accordingly levied on the bal
ance of the cattle for the taxes due.
Nearly 10, 900 cattle were run out of
the country.
Smith left from sS, 900 to so, 900 in
life insurance besides the large herd of
cattle in question. 1t is regarded as
very peculiar that his heirs have never
attempted to settle the accounts Of the
deceased cattleman.

Street Car Fares Recovered.

The law as an engine of justice is get
ting more effective. A West Side JUS
tlce has given a judgment of cents and
costs to the plaintiff in each of three
suits against the West Chicago Railroad
company for having collected fares and
failed TO carry the cOmplainants down
town. OF course the injured individuals
were put to some expense and much
trouble to get their cent damages and
will probably incur further difficulty,
as the corporation will appeal, but even
this little triumph for the people is
gratifying. If hungry child stole 8
cent loaf of bread, the state would bear
the cost of prosecuting it, and the pen
atty might be more than restitution of
the stolen goods. But it is very different
when rich corporation is the thief

KNEE BREECHES COMING.
So Say the Leading Tailors Who Wo:e thu
Costume at a Recent Banquet.

So Say the Leading Tailors Who Woe the
Costume at a Recent Banquet.
A notable dinner took place at Pitts.
burg last week. 1t closed the proceed.
ings of three days session of the Mer.
chant Tailors' National Exchange and
was made memorable by the introduc-
tion of new and gorgeous evening COS
tune.
Four of the leading tailors of the
United States wore this costume at the
banquet, and its beauty and grace were
SO striking that the whole company OF
critical observers regarded it with en-
thusiastic admiration. The costume con-
sisted of a silk velvet dress coat, satin
brocaded waistcoat, satin knee breeches,
silk stockings and the lace adornments
affected by men Of fashion a century
ago. Undoubtedly the different colors
which can be introduced into such a cos
tune, according to the requirements Of
the varying types of manly beauty,
would lend great brilliance to an occa-
sion of evening festivity. Instead of the
raiment of men being merely foil to
set off the bright attire of women 1t
would be of itself thing of beauty,
with which feminine taste and art would
have to compete.
The judgment Of the merchant tailors
at the dinner at Pittsburg was SO unani-
mously in favor of the new costume
that it will be the prevailing garb when
the convention hole its next annual ban
quet. The tailors expect, too, that as
the fame of its impressive beauty
spreads abroad men will be unable TO re-
sist the desire TO emulate the glory of
their raiment.
Perhaps so, but how will it be regard
ed by the men with thin and crooked
legs? Some men of great distinction
and a most engaging personality suffer
from those physical defects, but at pres
ent they are concealed by trousers, in
chief part at least. Knee breeches and
silk stockings would reveal them tc
every beholder. It is true that such
men might resort to padding, but would
not suspicion of the artifce get abroad
and provoke unseemIy merriment among
women?
AS it is, the dress of men is comfort
able rather than handsome. If they 60
in for brilliant effects Of color and ma
terial, they will have to stand criticism
of their taste and the beauty Of their
proportions, from which, happily, they
are now exempt. York Sun.

CORNS IN COURT.
A Novel Case In an Oregon Court In Which
LADY Offers to Show Her Feet.

Novel Case In an Oregon Court In "hlch
Lady Offers to Show Her Feet.
Spectators in Justice Woods court
yesterday morning enjoyed an hour of
comedy, in which 81. d. Carmlne and
wife and Mrs. Luella Runyon were the
principal actors.
Carmine was on trial on charges Of
assaulting Mrs. Runyon and tearing
and destroying cape belonging to her.
The complaining witness testified that
she was chiropodist. and that she had
contracted with Mrs. Carmine, who is
a dressmaker, for some dresses and a
cape, agreeing to tender her professional
services in return. When the dresses,
etc., were completed, Mrs. Runyon
called for them, but found that Mrs.
Carmine didnt need her services, but
wanted her money. Carmine$interfered
in the trouble which followed and man
aged to tear the cape and get himself
mixed up with the Justices court.
When Carmine was placed on the
stand and had told his version Of the
affair, he was asked if his wife was
troubled with corns or bunions. The
attorneys Tor the QeIense eAclleuIy oo-
jected to this and had wordy war with
Deputy District Attorney Malarkey,
which resulted in victory for the de-
fense, the court holding that husband
was not supposed to tell alahe knew in
regard to his wife.
When Mrs. Carmine took the stand,
however, the objection no longer held,
and she was compelled to admit that
she had a small corn which never
troubled her, In the discussion of
corns and bunions which followed Mrs.
Runyon demanded that Mrs. Carmine
allow the court to examine her feet, and
Mrs. Carmine won the day by spirited
ly replying that she was willing to do
SO if the court thought it necessary.
Carmine was discharged from Gus
tody.-Portland Oregonian.

A ROYAL KID.
| Bulgaria Went Wild With Joy Over the

Bulgaria Went Wild With Joy Over the
Visit of the Baby Prince.
A man of S4 years and a boy of as
Gus figures in Europe today. One, it is
feared, must soon close one of the most
remarkable public careers of this or any
other age. The other, born in a palace,
may some day sit upon a rather shaky
throne. All Europe has smiled indul-
gently over the extravagant welcome
with which Prince Ferdinand and his
subjects received the wee bit of human
ity at Sofia. The royal youngster must
think this world an awful humbug.
Before he had a chance TO enjoy his
first meal he was frightened half TO
death by the firing of 1O1 cannon under
his window. He had hardly donned his
swaddling clothes before he was con-
demned to be Bearer of the Collar of
the Order of St. Alexander" The poor
child would have howled in protest, but
the royal decree informed him that as
the chief of three regiments of infan-
try, cavalry and artillery no such weak
ness would be tolerated. Some ordina-
ry infant indulgences might be permit
ted him as prince and duke, but as
full fledged Knight of the First and
Fourth Glass Military Order of Valor"
he must preserve the stern dignity of
his rank.
1t was a hard week for him. In the
first place, the palace yard was thronged
night and day by his singing, dancing,
affectionate subjects. His royal daddy,
in spite of the nurses protests, persisted
in dangling him at window several
times a day, to the frantic delight of
the cheering crowds. The whole pIin-
cipality took a weeks holiday, and the
rejoicing was so spontaneous and unre-
strained that the nation found the spec
tacle welcome relief from the solemn
croakings about war.-New York Sun S

THE SINS OF FASHION.
A Cincinnati Young Lady Couldn't Take
the Sacrament Because of Tight Veil.


the Sacrament Because of a Tight Veil.
A most shocking yet ludicrous thing
occurred Sunday morning In one of the
leading churches of this city. A beauti-
ful young woman was the person guilty.
She was elegantly attired and wore
one Of those peculiar wells that fit close
ly over the bonnet and face and tie in a
sort of hangman' moose under the left
ear. After an eloquent and impressive
sermon the bread in silver salvers was
passed down the aisles by the members
of the session. The lGdy who wore the
curious veil took piece of bread and
tried to slip the knot at the ear, failing
in which she vainly endeavored to put
the morsel of bread under the veil into
her mouth, but she only drew the loop
tighter. She blushed, grew vexed and
tossed the typical fragment of bread
carelessly into the aisle. The elder
turned just in time to observe her, and
the plate almost fell from his hands.
Several other faces took on a Mortified
expression and then a smile.
The fashionable young woman would
have given her hope of heaven to have
been able to retreat from those glances,
but quick as she was after the service to
reach the door she was not soon enough
to escape the minister, who reprimand-
ed her privately on the sins of fashion.

Demanded Gold For His Cotton.

A few days ago Mr.. Cole Nall was
asked by big farmer in this county to
go out and buy his cotton, which he had
not sold for three years. Mr.. Nall went
out, weighed and classified the cotton,
which amounted to S14, 1000. Mr.. Nall
was about to write a check for that
amount when the farmer said he would
not accept anything but 50 goldpieces.
Mr.. Nall went to the New South Say
ings bank and got $500 So goldpieces
and carried them to him. whereupon the
farmer got out jug and counted them
into it for burial purposes. Gainesville

None Worthy to succeed Tepnvson.

1t is now definitely understood, says
a London journal. that there is no il
tention of appointing a successor to
Tennyson at present. 1t is frankly ad-
mitted that the reason is because there
is no poet worthy to wear the laurel
last worn by Wordsworth and Tenny-
son. 1t is even asserted that the present
government have an understanding with
the Conservative leaders to leave the va
cancy untitled until more worthy bard
arises.

JUDGE BRAwLEY's RESIGNATION
Statement That Difference With Sec
retary Carlisle on Civil Service WINS
the Cause.

Judge John B. Brawley sixth auditor Of
the treasury, whose resignation was an
nounced yesterday in The Star was seen
by reporter today. He stated that his
resignation was voluntary, and that his
personal relations with the President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury were very
pleasant. The work of the office was in a
satisfactory condition: better condition than
1t had been in for several years. His res,r-
nation had not been accepted: he did not
know when 1t would be, and had no idea
on whom his mantle was to fall. This IS
all that he would say
The gossip of the department is that If
cannot be true that the resignation was he
cause the business conduct Of the office was
rot satisfactory to the administration no
cause the records of the office and tie
statements OF the other officials are against
this theory. Much of the work which was
largely In arrears when Judge Brawley as
sumed the helm is now up to date. He is
sald 10 pe popular personally with the en-
pIoyes, and because of this has been able
to get a great deal of work out of them
which otherwise they would not perform.
one OF the most plausible reasons as
signed LOT the resignation is that the civil
service Ideas OF Judge Brawley and of Sec
retary Carlisle have clashed The sixth
auditor Is said to be a stickler for reform
In the line of civil service and according
" tHe recent report OF the civil service
commission, Secretary Carlisle is not rated
too high as true reformer There is a
good deal of gossip as to who will be the
successor of the retiring auditor The place
mas usually gone TO an Ohio man, and il is
sald at the department that one from the
buckeye state is after the position but
VINO 1t is they say they do not know. There
is likelihood that Deputy Auditor Craw-
ford OF Louisiana will be called on to
serve. This act would be in the line of
promotion, and, although Mr.. Crawford has
done nothing to advance his interests. ne
Is looked on as a strong probability.
