Mother Mandelbaum.

The most notorious female criminal, although perhaps not the most brutal and cruel, New York has ever known was Mother Mandelbaum She became an almost national criminal character. Romantic stories of crime were asso- ciated with her career. In one way it is q compliment to this queen of dishon- esty that she Is to be represented upon the local stage by an actress who has gained wide repute for great power. In a play Of which much is expected Mime. Janauschek is to undertake to portray Mother Mandelbaum realistically. If she succeeds in suggesting to the audi ence the real Mande1baum, Mme. Jan auschek will have won triumph of the stage which, while it may not be so pleasing as some of her other successes. will perhaps be the longest remembered. Holland in New York Journal

 An anecdote was told of preacher who dwelt upon the impending cata- clysm, urging his hearers by all means to be prepared. While he was describing the peril an earnest voice from the con- gregation ejaculated, Thank God!" The minister sought out the possessor of the voice and asked why he was thankful for a prospect at which most men shuddered. Anything to beat Grant, was the answer. -Scribner's : For September

Wcoed In the Wet.

Allen Lester Fowler, Q South Side Chicago soclety leader, is engaged to bs married to Miss Emma Gibson, an ex- tremely engaging young woman of 10 summers. The engagement is pretty sequel to the terrible experience oe Fowler, Miss Gibson, James Daltoa and boy on the lake recently.
 The party had started out for pleas ant sail, and when about five miles out on the lake a sudden storm came up, and the boat was overturned. Fowler succeeded ill getting Miss Gibson back on the upturned boat. He noticed that Miss Gibson was the coolest and least concerned of the party, and his admira- tion of her courage was unbounded.
 Miss Gibson," he said finally, "you are the pluckiest woman I ever met, and you are the only woman I would make my wife. l love you, and if we get out of this I want you to marry me. ''
 That's bargain, wet feet and all, ]" replied Miss Gibson.
 "Shake on it, said Fowler.

A Warning to Tourists.

A we'll known Philadelphia lawyer, who has just returned from abroad, tells . rather remarkable story of his cxperi- ence with a doctor in Paris. "Over there," he remarked, everything is done byacontract, a fact which I discov- cred to my sorrow. My wife caught a severe cold and was taken quite i'll. I called in a French physician who had been highly recommended by the pro- prietor of the hotel at which was stop ping, and he paid five visits to my wife, after which she was so much improved that his services were no longer required, The next day received his bill for 2,500 francs, which is equivalent to $500 Thinking mistake had been made, went to his office, where he smilingly assured me that the bill was correct. To my remonstrances he re- piled, But monsieur made no contract with me. When I told him I wouldn't pay such an exorbitant bill, he in- formed me that it would be impossible for me to leave France. In desperation l consulted friend of mine who resides in Paris and found that the French doc tor had me where the hair was short, and in the end had to pay it. New Orleans Times Democrat.

Geese Object to Bloomers.

Two ladies from New York city who are stopping at a summer resort down the Delaware river on the Jersey side took a spin on their wheels up the Penn sylvania side of the river as far as Mat amoraS.
 When about to enter the village . flock of geese attacked one of the young women, who wore blue boomers. Both women were riding slowly and did not notice the geese until nearly upon them. The geese tugged at the young lady's boomers with such force as to upset her, and it required the efforts of the small boys and her companion to drive them off. They remounted their wheels and went in the direction of Milford. - Philadelphia Press.

 Riley Grammar is himself authority for the statement that he has won more than $125, 900 since the beginning of the Saratoga meeting. He is going to slow down now, he says, and stop plunging. In spite of this statement he played Henry of Navarro to win moro than $40, ,000 on the sweepstakes which was decided yesterday at Sheepshead Bay.
 Grammar was said to be more than $200,000 ahead of the game no later than last summer after Henry of Ma varre beat Domino and Clifford, but bad speculations and unproftable business investments took nearly all of it, and no later than five weeks ago his property at Lexington, where he had gorgeous saloon and restaurant, in which he sank $40,00 was attached for liquor and grocery bills.
 It is said that Grammar had total capital of $50 at the Saratoga track on the opening day on July S0.--Exchange

A CLEVER BABY.
She Is Great Attraction For visitors at
 Central Park. New York.


 There is new attraction for visitors at Central park, and one that ought to prove interesting to everybody, young and old. It is baby elephant, and it is as cunning and playful as anybody $ ba- by, but, of course, i'll its own elephan- tine way. At present it is kept in one of the stalls at the elephant house. but pretty soon it will be allowed out i'll the yard, where visitors can become more intimately acquainted with it.
 The infant, which is from 31S to 4 years old, stands about Az feet in height at the shoulders and is about the same measurement in length.
 1T never saw an elephant with such a nice, smooth, healthy skin," said Keep or Snyder.
 The little visitor arrived at the park in crate and truck. Soon after she arrived MT. Burns had Snyder give her bath. If there is anything an ele- phant, big or little, enjoys it is bath. If he had place for it, Mr. Burns says, he would supply the elephants, and, in fact. all the leather skinned animals, with tank of water as big as that which theShippopotami have to wallow in.
 When the hose was turned on to tho baby elephant on Tuesday, not content with the stream as it played upon her, she sucked up the spare water from the floor and spurted it upon herself from her trunk. Then Snyder fed her. He gave her loaf of bread first. She put it on the floor and crushed it with one of her fore feet, and then picked it up piece by piece and ate every crumb of it.
 Snyder had pieces of bread in his pockets, and she went through these as cleverly as pickpocket would and got each one. Then he gave her pail of bran mash, and she exhibited a regular baby pet when he took part of it away to give to another elephant. If the baby remains long enough at the park, MT. Burns says he will teach her some tricks. New York Sun.

 In Strict Confidence.

The following story is said to have originated somewhere on that part of D street where cast off garments enjoy a second time on earth as fabrics of tho finest tissue:
 Jakey's father, who presides over an emporium i'll that locality, secured for his son position where there was un- limited opportunity to advance in his chosen profession, and where he re- ceived salary of $l. 50 week. When Jakey had been employed there week, and Saturday evening arrived, he turned in his wages to the head of the family, who, after counting the money. said:
 "Jakey, how is tbis-only a dollar and fordy-five cends. Where is der oder nickel, Jakey?'
 sFader,o the young man replied. "the man dot geeps der store don't gif us no ice wader, and we have to buy ice for ourselves.
 "Well. I suppose you have to do like the oder boys" said his father reluc- tantly.
 The following Saturday night there was but $1. 45 handed ill as the week s wages, and MT. Holfenstein wanted to know the cause of the deficit.
 Well. fader, they took up golleg- shun for boy what got hurt and efery- body put in somding, and I gave 6 cends. y
 His father said nothing
 When the next Saturday came, Jakey was again cents short in his accounts.
 Now, Jakey. where did it go this timer,
 Well, fader," began Jakey, "I''-
 'Stob!" interrupted MT. Holfenstein. "come with me. ''
 Jakey followed his father to another room, where, after carefully closing tho door, the father said impressiyely:
 "Now, Jakey, my son, this is my con- fidential office, and I would rather you would drop dead where you stand than tell me lie in this room. Now tell me, Jakey-tell me-are you going to get married ?"-W Washington Post.

He feels sthat earth is not his home, and he is homesfck. One night last fall the colonel went down to Sam s cabin for something or other, and as hs passed the window he heard the ola negro praying that the angel of death might eome-and come quickly. The colonel knocked on the window ledge.
 Who's dat?" asked Sam.

PETER AS A DETECTIVE.
His Exciting Chase After Thieying Urchins
 In Washington.

Senator Peffer, the Populist leader, by a feat performed last week has earned a reputation with the local police that ought to insure him employment at any time he is willing to resign his seat in the senate
 With his wife the Kansas senator was occupying the back seat of public ve- hicle one day last week, and while driv- ing along one of the principal business thoroughfares of Washington his eagle eye detected two urchins in front of secondhand bookstore whose suspicious actions caused him to direct the driver to slaeken the pace of the horse. Hewas not mistaken. When the young rogues thought the coast was clear, they grabbed handful of paper back novels and dart . ed away with them. The senator with the flowing whiskers started in pursuit. Block after block was covered, the horse going at breakneck speed and the pedestrians on the sidewalk gazing in open mouth amazement as the Populist senator, all excitement, gained upon the youngsters. The chase was hot, and the boys were breathless when they sought a shelter in an old curiosity shop. The snator, with wonderful agility for one of his age, sprang from the carriage as it dashed up to the curbstone, entered the store, andlwith the surprised pro- prietor drew the boys from their hiding behind the monkeys cage The parade then started for the police station. The senator, fanked on either side by dirty little ragamuffin, headed the line, while Mrs. Peffer, in the carriage, brought up the rear, surrounded by an admiring and inquiring public.

 the War Times.

the war Times
 I must tell horse story of Lees in- vasion of 1863 that ought to be historic. but that believe has never appeared in print. Congr sssman Mahon, who will probably prove the only sincere advocate of the border claims in the next con- gress, is the hero of this tale
 Mahon always had an eye to good horse, and so it is not surprising that an animal belonging to an officer in Jenkins caralry brigade should have taken his particular fancy. AS the borough of Cbambersburg was then in possession of the enemy, most other men would have been content to admire. without thought of owrcrship, not withstanding the horse was lsterless for the moment and without an immediate attendant. With Mahon to admire was to act, and so he sprang into the saddle and rode away. He was pursued, but escaped and still had possession of the horse after the last reb'' had gone back to Dixie
 But somehow the town fathers of dear old Chambersburg imagined that the borough owned that horse, and as attorney for the town was instructed to sue .Mahon for the value of the an imal. accordingly brought an action on the case and filed my narratio, ]. while Mahon made answer by most formidable array of counsel All this happened in October, 1863, but the case has never been tried. It ought to be. Mahon will consent to waive all for maities, or rather informalities, so that we can get the case before Judge Stew art and a jury.
 believe will go back and try it. What q Rip Van Wrinkle proceeding 1t would bel don't suppose I could win, for I never believed the old town had any more claim to that horse than I have to the moon, but if the defense was willing and the court gave us plenty of scope we would carry out . new chapter in history, and Mahon's ride would become as famous as Sheri- dan s.
