WON WITHOUT BETTING.
The Luck of a Man Who Happened to
Stroll Into "a Louisville Pool Room.

a good story is told about Oliver ?.
Lucas, who died while holding the po-
sition Of secretary of the board Of alder
men, and Bob Cathcart, a horseman
who was widely known and who had
many friends in Louisville says the
Louisville Courier-J ourual Cathcart
was interested in poolroom here and
was selling pools on a big race one day
when Lucas came in. The two were
we'll acquainted and Lucas nodded his
head as a salutation or greeting when
ne caught Cathc&rts eye. If he noticed
it. he attached no significance to the
fact that Cathcart Immediately cried:
"Sold for $40" Lucas passed out Of
the room and some days later an at
tache Of the pool room meeting Lucas
asked him why he did not come and get
the pool he had won. Still ignorant of
the fact, and thinking some Jest was
intended Lucas fourshed his hand
carelessly and Replied
"OR, don't need it. I've got plenty
Of money"
A day or two passed and Lucas re-
ceived a second inquiry about the
money BY this time his curiosity was
excited and he asked a friend to go to
that talk was about. This friend speed
lily learned that Cathcart had accepted
Lucas nod as a bid. knocked down the
pool to him, and, as is often done vet
where the bidders are known, simply
slipped a ticket in the box. The horse
that the pool was sold on won the race
and there was something over $500
awaiting Lucas. When told the cir
cumstances Lucas said to his friend: 4
hardly know whether to take that
money or not. | never bid on the old
plug and never thought Of such a thing
/ never heard Of the horse before" This
friend told him he had just
as well take the money, for
some one would have bought
the pool for dollar or two less, and
Cathcart was not a loser as the com
mission money was all he was looking
for. Lucas allowed the money to re
main there for nearly a week and then
told some one about the pool room to
bet Sl2S IF it on some race. He lost his
bet AMI then collected what was left of
winnings on wager which he had
never made.

ANOTHER INNOVATION.
Banking introduced in Departments
stores OF New York

A banking department is the latest
n ya'ty in a large uptown dry goods
store says New York Journal. It's OBJ
iect Is to be a convenience for the pa
irons of the establishment and resi-
dents of the neighborhood rather than
to make money for the firm. 1t is to
all purposes q bank, although not be-
ing chartered it cannot be dignified with
this name. Deposits are made and
checks drawn IN just the same way as
they are at any bank, SO that a GUS
toner visiting the store can transact all
her business under one roof. She can
furnish her home, provision It, pur-
chase her clothes and those for the rest
Of her family have her photograph talk
en-, enjoy a delicious meal, buy flowers
for her lawn, take a nap and pay for
all by a check drawn on the proprie-
to OF the store. The convenience Of
this banking department does not end
here, for when the bars and shutters
have been put up on regular banks
money is still passing in and out Of
the teller's window Three o'clock goes
by without notice and the fatigued
shopper suddenly realizes she has for
gotten to have a check cashed. This
she can have done as late as o'clock
on other days and p. m. on Satur-
days. Neighboring tradespeople also
avail themselves of this convenience,
Letters Of credit to any part Of the
world are issued by this shoppers bank,
and foreign money is bought and sold
there, at the current rate Of exchange.
Passage on any of the transatlantic
steamers may also be purchased there,
and cabins selected in the same place
where steamer chairs and rugs are
bought

The New York Young Man.

On Sunday morning the west side Of
Fifth avenue is thronged with church
paraders. There one sees in al his
splendor the New York young man.
Somehow, Notwithstanding all his ef-
forts to be English, he never quite eff
fects it. Either his hat is too curly, his
coat too long or his trousers over
pressed. He looks like an advertise
ment for a Fashionable Manchester tail
or and represents the wide difference
between gentlemanly and a gentleman.
My impression is, by the way, they viii
never be able to produce the breed Of
American gentlemen until they manage
to buy up and transplant an English
public school, with all its traditions and
style. At present. the gilded youths
here seem to be in the transition stage
between the cowboy and the mashar;
they talk very low between their teeth,
they call each other "old man, and
describe the theater last night as the
''rottenest show" but next minute out
leaps the cowboy. either in manners or
talk, and the temporary illusion IS gone.

FalIoonlng in Great alrrruurx

Herr Berson, at the meeting last week
Of the German meteorologists in Brem-
en-, gave some further interesting par
ticulars about the results Of balloon as
tensions. with and without travellers in
the basket" The "Cirrhus." a balloon
sent up without aeronauts, but fur
nished with meteorological Instruments
rose to a height Of 1880 metres. but AT
that height the thermometer could no
longer register the temperature. hav-
ing already marked g. degrees Of frost
at lower height. To about 1000
metres the temperature gradually
sinks; above that point it sinks much
more rapidly, and the freezing point is
reached in summer at about 5000
metres. At the upper limit OF the
earth's atmosphere the absolute nil
point is reached, that is, 27S degrees
centigrade below freezing pc-at.

MARKED MONEY.
Curious Mania for Writing Sentiments
on Bank Notes


A mania for advertising and putting
strange communications on the back OF
the paper money Of the government has
broken out, says Chicago Tribune. As
a general thing torn bills are used, as
that gives the man with the mania an
excuse for his work. for he uses the slip
TIth which the pieces are put together
for his purpose. On a bill that came
into the hands Of one man on Dearborn
street was a slip on which was printed
shake the bottle" When he turned il
into the bank the receiving man. whose
quick eye caught 1t, asked, Did You
bring the bottle with you?"
on a s. bill handed over bar on
Monroe street was q slip on which was
this.
Touch not, taste not, handle not
A Dearborn street bank took in S5Vo
bill not long ago on the back Of which
was pasted a slip that had printed on II
the ten commandments. \ cashier in a
mercantile house on Randolph street
has a bill Of s. denomination on which
IS a slip, and on the slip IS written IN a
woman's chirography an offer OF mar
riase. The writer puts It thus: ! give
up my last money on this. | send 1t out
into the world, hoping Il may return 10
me with a good man who will love me
and take care Of me" But no address
accompanies the offer. A bill is in
frame IN an express office. There IS
hole in the bill and a note explains that
the hole was made by a bullet fired by
q train robber. The bill was in the SIDE
pocket of the express messenger. a blll
handed in at a cigar store on Madison
street had this on the back:
Don't come back to me until you can
bring your silver brother with YOU.

FASHION DOLLS.
They Took the Place of Plates in Years
Gone BY

Long before ladies' newspapers We're
started, and fashion plates in their
modern form We're thought of, ladies
derived their knowledge of the fash
ions from dolls dressed in the modern
costumes, which We're sent from one
country to another, more especially
from Paris which then. as now, was
the leading center Of the mode This
custom of exchanging fashion dolls
commenced early in the fifteenth cen
tury, and prevailed for more tran one
hundred years, when wood cuts ana en-
cravings We're substituted until toward
the end Of the eighteenth century, when
colored fashion plates and illustrated
almanacs made their appearance.
Great ladies used TO send dolls 10 their
friends at a distance, and as the cos
tunes We're made by professional cut

People residing in Gay alley neigh

last night. Ed Cleary, musician. who
carried about his person a jag Of a
weeks standing, while passing through
the alley happened to look behind him
and saw his shadow. He thought the
shadow was a man. and shook his fist
al it, and the shadow in return did the
same thing at him. This made CIeary
very mad and lie cried. If you are
looking for trouble I'm you're game"
Then he lay down and beat the shadow
until blood tricked from his fists. and
when he saw that his silent foe was in
vincible ne got several rocks and ran
the shadow for fifty yards or more. As
he turned back he saw that the mag
mary man was still chasing him He
increased his walk into a rua and his
shadow did likewise. Finally he recog-
nized that the imaginary foe was clean
grit and had got all the best of the
fracas, and he continued a hasty re-
treat, the shadow chasing him into the
arms Of policeman At the station
he wanted to shake hands with the
shadow and make friends. but the
officer hustled him eff to a cell.

Amusing Complications from Using Flesh

An amusing warfare has been carried
on In Paris between the government
