X Truly Oriental Tale.

So surely as John Chinaman drifts into India Ion the make, y so surely does the empire have trouble with him. According ly the empire has had trouble lately with An Sin. He lived in the Burra bazaar he grew fat and seemed prosperous, but the sources of his plumpncss and prosper ity were not visible to the naked eye of the inspector of police. of course the inspect or, knowing the procliviIics of his suspect, knew well enough that he ran a gambling table. Only, whenever tho inspector came to take d hand, An Sin happened to be only giving a little dinner party, and the most unccrcmOniouS stigatiOn failed to dis cover anything more.
 It thus became clear to the intelligent officer that An Sin must have a regular chain of telcgraphists between the police station and the bazaar This conviction had such an effect upon the inspector that he put himself to death ono morning, un beknOwn to anybody, having taken the prccautiOn to bring down four policemen from an mp country station, whose face, were unfamiliar to the tClcgraphists tt carry kim on d charpoy to his burial Ht himself was, as usual, covered with sheet. The tclcgraphists took no notice At An Sins door in the bazaar the corpse jumped off the charpoy and ran up stairs the four bearers following. That time they all took a hand. So Mir. Inspector is Mr. Superintendent, and An Sin adorn the A An;lamans.--Pall Mall Gazette.

RUMORS DENIED.

Errors in the Books of Secretary
 White of NOsahOgan Lodge Give
 Rise ta Sensational Stories.
 For several days stories rejecting upon the honesty of James c. White. for many years permanent secretary of Nosahogan lodge, O. O F have been in circula- tion Some of the rumors were ridicu- lous. charging as they did that there was shortage of $10,000 in MT Whites ac, counts, which, of course. could not be.
 In order to relieve Mir White from sus- picion the ofic, IS of the lodge to-day made a statement to the DEMOCRAT, giviLg the facts in the case. When Secretary Whites books were examined recently a number of clerical errors were discovered. In one case it was found that he had over- paid the treasurer between thirty and forty dollars, and in another there was a shortage of $94. leaving 8 balance of $50 to be aco0untrd for As soon as the secre- tary's attention was called to the matter he made good the amount.
 There are 634 members in Nosahogan lodge and such an error is not uncommon. considering thu magnitude of the work. Mir White was continued in office and some dissatisfied members started the rumors.
 At Tuesday nights melting Secretary White voluntarily rendered his resigna. ton, saying that he was too old to give the | books the attention they require. His resignation was accepted and c. H. Stan. cliff was elected permanent secretary. The members feel grieved that such stories have been circulated and have the fullest | confidence in Mr White, who is one of the older members of the lodge.

 A sale was cousummsted today whereby one of Waterbury's oldest clothing houses has passed into other hands.

Rsnnacker & Go, the Hub clothiers. who conduct a large establishment at 139 and Al Asylum street, Hartford, sent agents to Waterbury, who looked over the Waterbury one price store and found that the place was doing a lucrative business and that the proprietor desired to retire from mercantile life, which was the only reason he had for wishing to dispose of his business. For several days the inventory has been pro- gressing and to-day the sale was made. Gennacker & Go come to Waterbury to establish a permanent business. Plans are now under way to remodel the store and within a month it will be stocked with a complete new lineof clothing. James A. Hynes, who has acted as manager for MT Hauser for ten years. will | be retained by the new firm. MT Hynes popularity merited his retention, and the firm could not have made better | choice.
 MT Hauser retires from the clothing business after a service of twenty-seveu years. He began as a merchant tailor 1T Huntsville in 1868, and in few years owned stores in Southington and Plants vile. In 1881 he opened a store h New Britain. He remained there for three years. moving to Waterbury in April 1884. and locating in Terrence o O'Brien's building on Bank street.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. All the members of the Waller family arc at last out of Madagascar, but thSir hlisfortunes con- tinuo, and Mrs. Waller, wife of the har- assed ex-consul, is now with her little children helpless and stranded on an is land on the other sit.e of the globe.
 A letter received by Paul E Bray, Wal ler's son-in- law, and a dispatch received by the state department from United States Consul Campbell at the island of MauritiuS both contain notification of the arrival of Mrs. Waller and her four chil- dren at Port Louis, Mauritius from An tananarivo, Madagascar, about the middle of June.
 The letter said that the mother and chil- dren were well, but that Mrs Waller was suffering intense mental distress owing tC her husbands misfortunes and the hard ships she and the children had to undergo. They did not know how they were going to reach the United States, being without money. Hearing of the appearance of the United States cruiser Castinean Madagas car waters, the mother and children had made their way from the interior of the island to the coast in the hope of securing passage to the United States, but met with failure and disappointment. Mir. Ethel bert G. Woodford, an American engineer from New York, who had been in the cap ital of the Hovas on business, generously succored them and paid their passage a' far as Mauritius.
 MT. Campbell, the American consu there, could do nothing more for then than to cable the department an appea for assistance to enable the mother ant children to reach the United States. Th' department is unable to grant relief, ant it will be necessary for them to look tt friends in this country for aid.

The Australtan Wild Girl.

I was standing in front of 81 South Main street, where the wild girl is on exhibition, and found her surrounded by an admiring throng of ladies. and that they were more than interested could easily be told by their pleasant countenances, their wonder ing exclamations and the length of time they tarried enjoying the cute ways of the girl. At times she is wild and inclined to be ugly in her manners. but seldom, for thanks to her excellent training, she is usually docile, and is fast learning to speak English. The manager will continue to exhibit her one week longer. No one should fail to see this great wonder. as the opportunity may not occur again in life, time.

a Cake.

pected to see game full or errors and replete with humorous apologies for base ball. The game was a good one from every point. The first in- ming really won the game for the Water burys, as Attorney W. J. Neary, who was in the box for the Naugatucks, had left his pitching arm at home. Eight runs were made and saved the day for Waterbury. Shugrue who succeeded Weary, was pug zler and moved down the old timers at will
 A line of teams surrounded the field and such a crowd has seldom assembled on the Naugatuck grounds. Perhaps the greatest attraction was big Roger Connor who was scheduled to umpire. He was greated with great applause when he called the game. Second Selectman Brooks was there and his bell, which was orig inaliy made for a COW, was in direct evil dence during the game. The genial select man will not soon forget his Naugatuck ex- perience, for the names of Spinach" Brooks and "Hayjerk" Brooks, hurled at him throughout the game, are strongly fixed in tt @ memories of the Waterbury contin- gent. However, the bell was great factor in the game and the selectman enjoyed the fun as much as anybody.
 Attorney Weary started the ball rolling for his team by crossing the rlate through the inability of his Brass City friends to stop him. He was followed in turn by the iovial Doctor Delaney and the pretz~l twirler Shugrue. Then Fatty" Rogers, Judge Hungerford and Surveyor Ham, who was destined later to make bis mark, went out in one, two, three order.
 Judge Holohan wore his cap with the peak in the rear, and with his front hail flying in the breeze, presented the ap. pearance of full blocded Sioux warrior, and before he left the grounds the hood lums had dubbed him the Indian chief He began the fun for the Brass City boys The judge scored two runs in the first in ming Base hits and two baegers were a: easy as rolling off log and when the boy had stopped and Attorney Weary had beer carried weeping from the box the score stood to in favor of Waterbury.
