he Was Russian and Alarmed and Sur,
prised q Grand Duke.

One day, at the dinner table of d
grand duke, the French ambassador ex.
solled the dexterity of his fellow coun.
frymen, as exemplifed, among other
things, in the cleverness of the Paris
piokpockets.
81 should not wonder if the ST. Pc.
sersburg pickpockets could give them a
start, )" replied the grand duke. And
seeing an incredulous smile play around
the features of the ambassador he added,
''Will you bet that, before we rise from
the table your watch or some other
valuable will not be taken from your
persona"
The ambassador accepted the wager
for the fun of the thing, and the grand
duke teIerhoned to the chief constable
asking him to send at once the cleverest
pickpocket he could lay his hands on.
The latter was to receive the full value
of every article he managed to ''anneK"
and be allowed to go UNPUBLISHED.
The man came and was put into liv-
cry and told to wait at table along with
the other servants. The grand duke told
him to give him a sign as soon as he
had accomplished the trick. But he
had to wait a long time, for the embas.
sador, whose watch was the article tc
be experimental upon, always kept on
the alert, and even held his hand to his
fob when conversing with the most dis
tinguished guests at the table. At last
the grand duke received the preconcert-
ed signal. He at once requested the EN-.
bassador to tell him the time. The lat
ter triumphantly put his hand to his
pocket and drew forth a potato, instead
Of his watch There was a general burst
of laughter, in which the ambassador
himself joined, though with wry face
for he was Enthusiastically annoyed To
conceal his feelings he would take

Then he missed the seal ring from his
finger, and lastly the gold toothpick
which he always carried about with him
In little case Amid the hilarity Of
the guests the sham lackey was request.

dukes merriment was changed into
alarm and surprise when the thief pro-
duced two watches, two rings, two snuff.

the discovery that he himself had been

A brilliant scheme was adopted the
other day by a theatrical company
which found itself stranded at Dayton,
o., and its next engagement at Cleve-
land. A plan was made for the arrest
of one of the members of the company
on the charge of opening letter be-
longing to another member The &C
cused was taken before the United
States commissioner at Cleveland, where
the other members of the company were
subpenaed as witnesses. They of course
secured his acquittal and also their fees,
amounting to $6.25 apiece, 1t was the
most profitable engagement they have
played this season, but the commission
er is willing to bet that they can't play
it on him again. Troy Times

Restoration of the Speech of q Mute Child
Who Was Once Prepared For the Grave

| Restoration of the Speech of q Mute Child
Who Was Once Prepared For the Grave
After being mute for two years the
little 7-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. f. A, Brock Of Yineland, through
seeing the blood flowing from cut or
one Of her fingers, suddenly regained her
speech. The case is a remarkable ono
and has excited the interest of physicians
and of those who are acquainted with
the circumstances of her affection and
most remarkable recovery.
Two years ago the little girl, who
was then years of age, suddenly lost
her power of speech. She was eating an
apple at the time and in some manner
dislocated ono of her teeth She ran into
the house and threw herself On tbs
lounge, With blood flowing from her
mouth. She refused to answer any quesr
tions, and the Inquiries of her astOnished
parents only elected SOFA and means
The next day the child was still muse
and also refused 80 partake of any hsod
Her parents became alarmed, and pny.
sicians were called in. They were un.
able to diagnose the strange malady,
and the child grew worse. Medical skill
was of no avail, and she grew weak and
es5aciAted. After several weeks the child
died apparently, and the doctors pro.
nosnoed her dead and left. The little
form was covered with a shroud and
preparations for the funeral begun,
when sigrs of life were discovered in
the seeming corpse.
The girl sat up and with her fingers
made signs indicative of her desire for
food From that momeuf she began to
mend slowly and in the course Of a year
yegained her former good health and
spirits. She was still, however, as silent
as sphinx. Nothing could induce her
to utter word, and she continued in
this condition until short time ago.
She accidentally cut her finger while
playing one day, and the red blood
dowed from the wound. Either the
sight or the smell Of the fluid seemed
to have strange effect upon the child,
and that day marked the turning point
In the history of the case. During that
same night, while in bed, she startled
her sister by speaking her name quite
distinctly. She also uttered several 9th.
er words very plainly. Since then she
has been improving daily and now can
artioulate quite plainly. -PhiladelpbiA

Waco, Tex, July 20--At Mart, a small
borough 20 miles from here, five negroes
were instantly killed this morning and
one seriously injured as a result of a
dispute which began several months
ago when Abe Phillips, a negro, and
Phil Arnold. white both farmers, were
killed. Since then the feeling between
friends of both men has been very bit
ter. At 2 o'clock this morning the en-
tire town was awakened by a loud re-
port. Investigation showed that the
house occupied by Mrs Phillips, the
widowed wife Of the negro killed by Ar
mold, was in flames. The house had
been blown up with a stick of dyna-
mite thrown into it and fire finished the
work. OF the six negroes in the house
five were killed by the explosion or
burned to death. The one person who
escaped is so badly injured that he will
die.

and leg. Mary Giordano a 10-year-old
little girl, on seeing her mother fall,
ran forward and received a portion of
the load of buckshot that struck her
father. The shot entered her abdo-
men, literally tearing it to pieces At
the same time little Nicolina fell to the
floor wounded through the head. The
assassin, Joe Nosl<a, did not move from
the spot but when he saw Beneditto
Giordano nephew of the dead wo-
man, and Charlie Columbano coming
toward him he coolly placed two fresh
shells in his gun and waited until they
got close to him. Then he raised the
gun and fired both barrels, the two men
railing to the ground dead Then the
murderer, throwing his gun over his
shoulder, made his escape to the woods.
When the citizens ascertained the ex-
tent of the deed they organized posse
and led by the sheriff attempted to
capture the assassin. The wounded

ROMAN MURDER CASE TOOK A TURN
The Wife Dismissed and Crnmp Held as
the Real Assassin.

The Wife Dismissed ana Crnmp Held as
the Real Assassin.
Boise, July 2O.-The mysterious Roman
murder case in Canyon county took an
other turn today. Mrs. Roman, who had
been arrested on a charge of killing her
husband, was released, and Matt Crump,
the principal witness against her, was at
once placed under arrest for the crime.
Thomas Roman whose home was at
Lower Boise, was called out of his house
the night of May Is and killed with
an AK. A noise was made on the corral
fence as though the stock were entangled
in the wire. Roman went down to see
what was the matter, and the next morn
ing the body was found in a clover field.
1t was at first thought that a tramp had
done the deed. After a time the public
began to suspect Matt Crump, the hired
man, while there was also some suspi-
cion directed against Mrs. Roman. Fin
ally Crump was arrested on complaint of
Detective Eldridge. While under arrest
he made a sworn statement that Mrs. Ro-
nan committed the deed; that he saw
her do it as he rode up after trip to
Caldwell. Eldridge claimed that Crump
had confessed that he had killed Roman.
Crump was released of the charge, but
held as a witness
Some weeks later Mrs. Roman was ar
rested, and her preliminary hearing oc-
CURED today. Crump was placed on the
stand instead, however. proving a good
witness for the state.
He apparently surprised the prosecution
by disclaiming any knowledge of the mur-
der. He claimed to have spent the night
of the murder at the home of Russell
Smith, near Caldwell. His attention was
called to the confession made at Payette,
in which he declared that he saw Mrs.
Roman kill her husband with an ak.
Crump admitted having made and signed
the statement, but denied having sworn
to it. and also declared it was made un-
der duress, and while he was in fear OF
death at the hands of Eldridge, the al
legged detective. He persisted in this eX-
planation of his confession
After repeated questions and denials OF
a similar character Mr.. Smith, for the
prosecution, arose and caused a sensation
by moving that the defendant be dismiss
ed and that Crump be held until a com
plant could be lodged against him for the
murder and warrant be issued. The cour
granted the motion, and Crump was i'm
mediately arrested and the date for his
examination set for Monday, July %.

MINED GROUND OF THE COUNTY JAIL
Peculiar Case Now in the Courts at
Idaho City.

Boise, July 20.-A somewhat peculiar
case has been occupying the attention
of the district court at Idaho City for
several days. over a year ago Joseph
Bralstetter and his partners were en-
Joined by the county commissioners
from placer mining on ground that was
claimed to belong to the county. jail,
and their last cleanup, amounting TO
nearly $1,000, was seized by the sheriff
and deposited in the bank subject to
further litigation as TO it's ownership.
Afterward a suit was instituted by the
county against Bralstetter, in which
damages to the amount of $4,000 is
claimed to the county Jail property.
The county introduced in evidence
a deed to the property given by A. X.
Knowles in 1864 and describing the
boundaries of a piece Of land 200 feet
square. But owing to the chaotic con-
dition of all the landmarks in the vi
cinity of Idaho City on account of the
successive operations Of placer mining
none Of these boundaries can at pres
ent be located and the only hint as to
where the county's 200 feet square was
originally situated was contained in the
testimony of x-Commissioner Frank
Moore, who stated that the old Jail
was built in the center Of the lot. This
Jail served as the territorial prison at
one time. The ground is now mined
out on three sides Of it.
