A CLEVER PiCEPOCN1T.
He Was Russian cad Alarmed and sur
pr5scd G-snd Eu!se.


One day, az tho dinner table of
grand duke, tho French ambassador ex-
tolled the dextcriiy OF his fellow coun-
trymen, as cxcmpliGCd, among other
things, in tho clcYerglcSs Of the Paris
piokpocl7ets.
81 should not vcGGCr if the st. Pc
tersburg pickpCckcts could give them a
start" replied the grand duke. And
seeing an irc.eduluUS snilc play around
the features Of the cIHhassador he added,
''Will you bet that, bclcre we rise from
the table your watch or some other
valuable will not be taken from your
persong'
The ambassador accepted the wager
| for the fun of the thing, and the grand
duke telephuned to the chief constable
asking him to send at onco the cloverest
pickpocket he could lay his hands on.
The latter was to receive tho full value
of every article he managed to ''annex"
and be allowed to so unpunished.
The man came and was put into liv-
cry and told to wait at table along with
the other servants. The grand duke told
him to give him a sign as soon as he
had accomplished the trick. But he
had to wait a long time, for the embas-
sador, whose watch was the article to
be experimental upon, always kept Oh
the alert, and even held his hand to his
fob when oonversing with the most dis
tinguisbed guests at the table. AT last
the grand duke received the preconcert-
ed signal. He at once requested the en-
bassador to tell him the time. The lat
ter triumphaHtly put his hand to his
pocket and drew forth potato, instead
of his watch! There was general burst
of laughter, in which the ambassador
himself Joined, though with WY face,
for he was Enthusiastically annoyed. Tc
conceal his feelings he would take a
pinch Of snufi-his snufboX was gone!
Then he missed the seal ring from his
finger, and lastly the gold toothpiclI
which he always carried about with him
in little case Amid the hilarity of
the guests the sham laclzey was request
ed to restore the articles, but the grand
dukes merriment was changed into
alarm and surprise when the thief pro-
duced two watches, two rings, two snuff
boxes, etc. His imperial highness made
the discovery that he himself had been
robbed at the same time -Neue Blatt.

INC FROM HIS EMPLOYER.
DETECTIVES GIVE TESTIMONY

4 Suit Has Been Commenced
Which Involves Property Lc-
Gated on the East Side-The
Court Declares the Salt Sprink-
ling Ordinance Invalid - A
Gambling Debt.
The trial OF Fred Yore, the young
man accused of robbing p. NJ. K oberts,
the hardware man, while in his employ
as clerk. last June, came up in the
district court yesterday. and was not
completed last night. 1t will be con-
tinued this morning before Judge Jami-
son.
1t is charged that Yore. without au-
thority, disposed of goods and failed to
account for the same. The evidence
against Yore was procured by detect
ives in the employ of Goo ding's Detect
i've agency, who. in the guise of clerks,
bought number of articles from Yore,
which he failed to account for to the
firm.
The detectives tell a very straight
story, which Is corrOborated by Yore'S

for his action on the ground that he was
influenced by them to commit the
crime, but he failed to make his story
clear on q number of points. The trial
will probably be concluded today. 1t is
said that great pressure has been
brought TO bear OH Mr. Roberts by
Yore's friends and relatives to settle the
case, which he has steadily refused to
do on the grounds that this is not the
only case that he has had to contend
with, and considers some one should be
made an example of, not only for his
own protection, but other merchants.
County Attorney Nye is conducting
the case personally
