A n1urderer.s Light Sentence.

During the cholera scare in Vienna
some months ago rule was made for
bidding persons visiting restaurants to
squeeze small rolls on the tables to test
their freshness. One day an army cap
tain went to one table after another,
handling the bread before he selected
roll. A master baker, also a visitor,
spoke TO him about it. The captain gave
a naughty answer, waited for the baker
outside and stabbed him. The victim
died instantly.
The bakers death caused great
commotion. The funeral was attended
by many thousands and proved that the
peoples sympathies were with him.
Now the officer has been sentenced to
six months arrest in barracks, and he
will be permitted to keep his rank when
he has finished his term. One cannot
help wondering what the sentence might
have been had the baker stabbed the
officer.-Vienna Letter.

A SNEEZiNG BEE.

Red Pepper Was Thrown Hot Stove
With the Regulation Results.
Some one threw red pepper upon a
large stove in Tappen's billiard rooms
at Patchogue, N. Y. The pepper started
the habitues to sneezing, and they
sneezed loud and long. The odor of the
burning pepper soon drove everybody
from the room.
The fumes rapidly spread through. the
building. The Order of Foresters was
holding meeting in the large hall on
an upper floor. The members began to
sneeze. They sneezed hard. The chap
lain of the society tried to maintain the
dignity of his position, but he, too, soon
joined in the sneezing bee.
The assembly marched down stairs
sneezing at every step. They were soon
Joined on the street by lawyers, doctors,
editors, printers and business men, who
had been driven out of their rooms in
the building. The fumes were so strong
that passersby had to walk on the oppo-
site side of Ocean avenue.
The joke will cost Tappen the use of
his rooms, as the owner of the building
has notified him to vacate within 10
days. Tappen, it is said, will prose
cute the perpetrator of the joke if dis
covered.-New York Times.

STATESMEN WORRIED.
A Great Question Which Is Agitating the

A Great Question Which Is Agitating the
British House of Commons.
The great question whether walters
ought to be tipped is just now agitating
the house of commons good deal more
than the fight with the lords over the
employers liability and parish councils
bills, of which, truth to tell, everybody
is getting bit tired. But the tip ques-
tion affects the private pockets of the
honorable mem ers, and their interest
in it is consequently keen. 1t has al
ways been the rule in the commons that
the walters in the dining rooms should
not receive tips because living wages
are paid to them, but of late years tip
ping has pretty generally prevailed,
and the men learned to expect tips az
much as though they were common cafe
walters. A goodly proportion of the
members, however, refused to cOunte-
nance the system, with the result that
they have of late found themselves neg
Nlected. Recently there have been SO
many complaints that the kitchen COM
mittee solemnly appointed subcommit-
tee to inquire, and the result was the
issuing of an order prohibiting walters
from receiving tips and granting to
each waiter an increase of a shilling
day. The walters calmly pocket the
shilling, but continue to take the tips
whenever they get chance, and it has
become question what shall be done
with the honorable and right honorable
gentlemen who thus defy committees
and subcommittee York Suns
