WORKING A sUTLER.

Another sutler, this one the purveyor to q
New York regiment, kept in his stock a bar.
rel of really very fine whiskey. The price OF
it was little too high for patriots wearing
corkscrew caps and getting ION the books
S13 a month, but they wanted some OF that
whiskey. A smooth faced, boyish young
fellow proposed a PLAN A crowd OF bis
companions in wickedness got into the shanty
and kept the sutler busy. Even that usually
respectable parsonage, the orderly sergeant,
sat on the barrel and joked and laughed in
his loudest key. Into the cellar under the
shanty went few of the ''boys" with camp
kettles. The instigator of the plot had an
augur, and the orderly sergeant's voice
above told him where to locate the cask. 1t
was the work of few moments to bore
through the floor and into the keg, and draw
all the precious fluid into the kettles. As the
thieves sneaked back into the quarters they
could hear the other folks quarrelling with
the sutler about some mistake in giving
change to one of them the day before. And
it was several hours later, when a darkey
brought flask from the colonel to be filed,
that the this time victim discovered the out
rage. 1t was too late then, but doubtless he
"got back on em" before he was through with
that regiment, Incidentally, may say that
the chief robber on this occasion is now the
much loved pastor Of church out in Iowa.

Mr.. Mortimer Menpes, in travelling in the
East, in search of subject, has come upon a
curious form of courtship. Sketching one
day in Burmah, he noticed man little
distance off glaring fiercely straight ahead Of
HIM at some object he could not see from
his position. The man sat with the same
fixed glare the whole of the afternoon, and
was at it again next morning. Mr.. Menpes
had the curiosity to ask an English visitor
what it meant. The reply was s:-"Oh, he is
in love" and it was explained that this was
the mans attentive glare was a girl in a
neighboring bazaar When man falls in
love he has to seat himself at certain dis

her to do the rest. If she looks in his direc-

he is wildly encouraged, and if one the third
day she mods at him and smiles, it is time to
go to the parents with reference to the mar
riage settlements.

MARQUIS OF AILEsBURY DEAD.
His Chief Occupation Was Spending
Others Money.

OtAeE7A money
By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, April 10, 1S94.-George William
Thomas Brudenell Bruce, Marquis of Allies
bury, is dead. He was born in 1868.
The Marquis of Ailesbury became motor
ious upwards of ten years ago. He was then
known as Viscount Sayernake, which was
the second title of his father, then
Marquis of Ailesbury. Viscount Savernake' s
claims to notoriety were firmly based
upon dissolute habits and recklessness in the
matter of spending money, in both of which
respects he excelled. He was a fire.
quenter of music halls, sporting resorts,
ETC., and in May, 1884, married singer
in a Brighton music hall known as
Dolly Tester. Though the lady had not pre-
yiously been a wife, her marriage to Lord
Savernak made him step-father to several
children. She is described in "Burke's Peer
age" as Dorothy Julia, eldest daughter of
Thomas Haseley, Esq, of Brighton.
Since his succession to the peerage in 1886,
the Marquis of Ailesbury succeeded in i'm
perishing the vast Savernake estates,
denuding acres of the famous Savernake
Forest of it's finest trees and rolling
up his Indebtedness to the amount
or about 81, ,250,000. Since 1890 the Marquis
has been engaged with varying success in
staving off bankruptcy proceedings, but it
probable that he would have been adjudged
bankrupt within month
He never took his seat in the House of
Lords.

TOOK ICE WATER TO THEIR ROOM.
The deposition of John j. Leonard was in
part as follows:--He was an employe at the
Putnam House on September Is. He de-
scribed the visit of Sandau, and the trouble
he had with the clerk when he wanted to go
up to the room where he believed his wife to
be. Leonard escorted Sandau up stairs on
the elevator, and saw him meet Mr.. Merritt
and Mrs. Sandau. When Sandau confronted
Merritt he exclaimed
ou william, you scoundrel, I've caught
you now; you have done me great wrong"
Turning to his wife Sandau said:-
81 am ashamed of you"
Witness identified James c. Seymour as
James G. Merritt. When he last saw Mrs.
Sandau she was ON the fifth floor and Merritt
had gone downstairs. Leonard said further
Mrs. Sandau when they rang the bell at the
ladies' entrance to the hotel. He saw Mer-
ritt register. Mrs. Sandau waited for him
in the reception room. Merritt wrote the
name OF James Seymour and wife on the
register.
Witness took ice water to them while they
were upstairs in a room.
What was Merritt and Mrs. Sandau do
ing when you took ice water to the roOmW
81 did not notice.
"Dld they have all of their clothing org'
81 am sure they did not have all of their
clothing off,"
A smile passed over the face of Mrs. San
dau when she heard this evidence and she
leaned back in her seat and became thought
full. The testimony of ]. T. Heath cor
roborated much of what Leonard testified to
and said that Merritt and Mrs. Sandau were
in the hotel from three o'clock until fifteen
minutes before six. He heard Sandau ex-
claim
"You william, I have caught you at last.
My wife, aint you ashamed of yourself 7"
Witness said he looked down the corridor
and saw Merritt and Sandau. Merritt ran
away. He did not know how the woman
went away. Sandau remained at the hotel
portion of the evening.

BUILDING A MARINE RAILROAD

An interesting experiment is about to be
carried out at Brighton in the shape of the
construction of marine railway for the
purpose Of connecting Brighton with the
little village of Rottingdean, some three or
four miles to the eastward The rails will
be laid on the solid rock withs concrete, and
at high water will be covered by the sea,
which, however, will not affect the carriage,
the latter being supported on framework
that keeps them high and dry. At this part
of the coast the cliffs are high, and the beach
is practically inaccessible, SO that no boating
traffic will be interfered with The cars
will be moved by electricity, like those now
in use along the eastern foreshore of Brigh-

FATAL TO MOTHS.

In one of the late published papers of the
Canadian Institute find two excellent
articles upon spe cies of cannibalistic plant,
known to the residents of the tropical por-
tions of America as the s'cruel weed" or
ssstrangler.'' The scientific name of this
botanical oddity is physianthus albens, and
is indigenous only to the Western hemis-
phere.
The flowers of this queer plant are pro-
vided with five pairs of jaws, which are SO
arranged as to quickly close upon the pro-
bosis or head Of any unsuspecting moth or
other insect which may attempt to extract
honey from the blossom. To make sure OF
its prey this cruel flower holds fast as long
as the insect struggles slowly releasing its
grasp as soon as the writings of the dying
creature cease.
According to the botanists it belongs to
the milkweed family TRIBE or order OF ascle-
piads). The flowers are pure white and very
fragrant. and much like the tuberose in
general appearance. st. Louis Republic.

SNYDER JUMPED HIS BAIL.
Hinted That the Matter Was "Fixed''
Beforehand.

On Friday, March 80, Walter Snyder OF
No. 297 Ninth street, was arrested on COM
plaint of his wife, Jennie s. Snyder, who
charged him with living with another wom-
an. He gave bail to appear before
Judge Levering on Wednesday, April
A, but Saturday, March 81, his
bondsman gave him up. Snyder was
then lodged in Jail and remained there until
Tuesday morning when E. Kroner OF
Seventh and Erie streets went his bail and
he was once more at liberty. He immedi-
ately disappeared. When Kroner was noti-
fed to produce Snyder he could not find him
anywhere and up to the present time no one
else has been able to locate his whereabouts:
It is said that Snyder's mother paid
KRONER the amount of the bail In cash
and thus settled with him. Kroner
denies, however, that the matter was
s'fxed' before hand, and says that he had
not the slightest idea that young Snyder
would get out of town. Mrs. Snyder has
been granted an absolute divorce on the
grounds Of desertion. She claimed that her
husband was married to another woman. 1t
is known that he lived with woman named
Anna Weeks, in Twenty eighth street, New
York, but she can not be found.

JAPAN's COTTON.

According to recent issue of the London
and China Telegraph, the cotton interest in
Japan is going ahead in most remarkable
way. In 1888 the production of cotton yarns
in Japan was less than 100000 pounds In
1899 it had risen to more than 81, 900, 900
pounds This result is due. of course, to the
cheapness of labor in Japan, which renders
the cost of production even less than in India.
