DOVER, Jan. 19-Both Senator Higgins
and ]. Edward Addicks have left the
capital and 1t devolves upon Hon. George
VI Massey to hold the county down and
keep II from getting the bulge on the

almost conclusive evidence that they do
not hope for an early break OF the
senatorial deadlock.
Mr.. AddIcks left on Thursday evening.

Higgins, Chairman Bach and George II.
Hollis walked down to the station last
evening and took seats la Pullman car

And the Man Who Had Been Pumpfn q

And the NIan Who Had Been Pumping
Lead Into Him Had to Swim for Life.
From the Florida Times Union.
w. A. Gilbert, the gunsmith, and a party
of friends have just returned from a hunt
ing and fishing cruise in Nassau sound in
the yacht Fannie. and Mr.. Gilbert has good
reason to congratulate himself that he is
not sleeping the last sleep in the stomach
of a monster gator.
The gator was found one morning DOING
on the placid bosom of the sound, only his
nose and a part of his head protruding.
Mr. Gilbert drew bead on him. Crack"
went the gun, and the gator half leaped
out of the water. Then he churned 1t into
gator and pumped eight more bullets into
him. Then the saurian lay still, and Mr..
Gilbert concluded that he was dead.
Not caring to lose so fine trophy, he
pulled off. his clothes and swan to the
gator to tie rope to his tail. He had ad-
justed the rope nicely, when suddenly, to
Mr.. Gilbert's surprise and horror, the
gator wheeled around, with his mouth
wide open, and made for his would-be
slayer.
Mr.. Gilbert with remarkable presence of
mind. dived. When he rose to the surface
the gator spied him again, and on he came
at clipping pace. Mr.. Gilbert dived again.
Three times the same thing was repeated.
At last Mr.. Gilbert reached the shore. He
was almost winded, and his hair, in spite of
the water, stood up straight on end, like
the qulllS of a porcupine.

Tribulations of the Man Who Went

From the Oakland Cal) Echo.
Have men any right to attend matinee
without capable female escort? He had
never been to a matinee before, and on this
occasion found that his seat-at certain
swell theater across the bay, was just be-
yord those occupied by two young women.
He paused doubtfully, while they both looked
at him. Then the farther girl began to
gather up her hat, her capes her bundles.
a p1 1ogram and a bunch of flowers from his
seat All these things she piled on top OF
the open box Of chocolates on her knee.
Then she stood up and he started to pass.
The second girl seemed inclined to keep
her place. but when it was clear that with
the best intentions he could not get by her.
she heaVed large sigh, and, clutchtng tine
c.ntents Of her lap. rose. Then the box
of chocolates dropped. 1T was my fault.
he murmured, and, getting by her, he knelt
in the narrow space between the rows CT
s. ats and began to pick up the scattered
chocolates. He gathered most of them. ex-
cept the three he was kneeling on, and
those he offered to scrape Off If she wished.
Meanwhile the girl dropped her opera
glasses on him and stepped on his fingers.
When, finally, they were all seated, she
dropped her program, he went under the
seat for that, and she offered him choco-
taken out of the hair of the woman in
front, he declined. Then she asked him if
he had ever read the book from which the
play was taken, and all through the next
act she told him about it. When it came
crying time she found her handkerchief
missing, and he could not do less than offer
her his At the end of the act he decided
to go out for a drink. She had put her
parasol in a new place, and he fell over it
in getting out; besides, the veil of the first
girls hat caught on his vest button and he
pulled her hat after him. When the girls
settled down they said they thought men
were awful nuisances at the theater, and
then they discussed the discomfort to them
selves that would ensue on his return. He
stood up for the rest of the play, and de-
clares-this young man does-that if he
ever goes to a matinee again lie will take
his sister for protection.

A NERVY BURGLAR.

He COIrects n Professional Mistake
Without Turning Hair.
From the Chicago Journal.
Burglars entered the apartments of Mrs
Kate Calymore in the fiat building at 26th
and State streets last Sunday afternoon
while the family were absent. The thieves
secured over $500 worth of jewelry and $3.50
worth of clothing. Among the lot of jew
elry was pair of diamond bracelets, one
of which the thieves dropped in the hall
way in their haste to escape. The brace
let was recovered and returned to Mrs.
Calymore. Monday the burglary was re-
ported to the police, and description of
the stolen property was taken, and yester-
Gay afternoon well-dressed young man
called at the Calymore apartments and
stated that he was an officer from the CEN
trail station. His next statement was that
the police had recovered what they thought
was part Of her property, among which
was a diamond set bracelet. He desired
that he be allowed to take the bracelet
lost by the thieves, in order to compare 1t
with the one recovered. Mrs. Calymore
ohligingly made the loan, but SO far the
police department has not seen the brace
let The latter are thoroughly convinced
that one of the burglars was the author of
a sharp trick to obtain possession Of the
bracelet they dropped in the hallway, and
officers of the 22d street station are work
ing on the case, but without result, so far.

SHE HAD A GOOD CRY.
And Her Escort Scnsibly Let Her Have
1t Out without Interfering.


1t Out Without Interfering.
From the New York Tribune.
The young woman and her escort had rid
den from 59th street to Tarrytown on their
wheels. The afternoon was hot and Close
and the ride had been a hard one. They
were to take the train back to Tarrytown.
and this thought had cheered her as she
came In sight of each successive hill. But
the strain grew worse and worse, and when
they reached the railway station she was
as near sheer exhaustion as 1t was possible
for human being to be. Some women
would have fainted-there was ample ex-
cuse for it-but this one didn't. She drop
ped from her wheel, sat on the platform and
started in for a good cry.
Her companion showed rare good sense
Perhaps most men would have told her to
stop, and some would have said she was a
fool. But this man took it as if she were
doing the most ordinary thing in the world
He said not word to her, and merely look
ed angrily at the people whose curiosity
led them to gaze at his weeping companion
1t wasn't long before her sobbing grew
setter. She wiped the tears from her eyes,
ard the smile which lighted her face was
like burst of sunshine after shower.
1T was very silly of me- she said, but
1 just really couldn't help it. feel all right
now
1T was the most sensible thing you could
have done" he replied. Il should not have
allowed you to push on so fast on such
day.
