Il do not class Hungry joe among the
prominent bunko men. OF course, he was
in that line of business, but when it came
to doing the finest kind OF work he could
not keep up with the people that came

who was arrested in Virginia not long ago
for practicing the gOld-brick swindle."

From the Baltimore Amerlcan.


In the libel suit brought by Emery @
Shipley of Texas, Baltimore county,
against Gen. Felix Agnus, publisher OF
the American, for alleged libel, jury
in the superior court yesterday rendered
a verdict in favor of the defendant WIZ
out leaving the box. The verdict was III
line with the instructions to the jury as
given by Judge Richie, who emphasized
the fact that the publication was en-
tirely free from any malice toward Mt;
Shipley on the part of the newspaper, anu
was privileged matter. The verdict met
with the entire approval of the large NUM-
Der of spectators present, among whoHi
were many attorneys who had gathereo
to hear the case.
The alleged libel was the report OF PR
ceedings before a justice of the peace OF
Baltimore county. in which Mr. Shlpley
was the party defendant, and in whlcs
Mr.. Shipley was subsequently acquitted
of the charges brought against MN. II
was contended on the part of the plaih' T.
if that the proceedings before the mag

therefore, that the publication was not
of the privileged class. The court, ho"'

From the Chicago Record.
There is a dog at Fairhaven, Wash. that.
by a resolution passed unanimously by the
common council of that city, is exempt
from taxation and all other ordinances
that apply to ordinary CANNES so long as
he shall live. He is not a handsome ami
NAL, and his name is not Indicative of
good breeding or responsibility. They call
him Hobo. and he has but one eye. His
left hindleg is almost useless also. and
his body is covered with scars of many
conflict. In some spots the hair will
never grow again. and his outside looks
like an old fur garment that has been the
home of moths. But his heart is right. and
he has retained the respect of the entire
community ever since the labor strike IN
in the Puget sound country three or four
years ago.
Nobody knows where he came from
They say that he drifted in with the
tide of humanity that flowed that wav
when everything was prosperous and the
boom was on. Nor has any one claimed
ownership. He lived in the street until
he became famous and since then he has
made his home at police Headquarters
where he is treated with the greatest con-
sideration. There is no dog in all that
country that has more friends than he
and his behavior has been such as to in
dictate that he wants to Keep them. Dur

The mangrOve tree spreads in a curious
way. AS il grows its branches dip over
into the water and make fresh roots. To
the dipping branches the oysters attach
themselves. and thus it is that one can cut

No Coal Famine.
There is no coal famine in the District
of Columbia. Washington could stand the
siege for some time to come. A large
number of small dealers, who buy their
coal in small lots have been pretty badly
pushed by the interruption in traffic, but
the master dealers have coal enough on
hand to warm Washington for a good
many days. They admit, though, that If
the rough weather had continued week
or so longer serious embarrassments would
have ensued. The break in the weather Is
being taken advantage of by the railroads,
and big lots of the black diamonds are
being pushed thither. There has been an
increase in the rate fixed by the Leading
dealers in October last, though number
of them lost money during two or three
days last week because of the great diff
Guilty in delivery. AT many places in the
United States the price of coal was forced
up, notably at Lancaster, Pa, where GER
tain kinds rose one dollar on the ton.
