story of not having had anything to eat
''since yesterday morning The shades
Of night were falling fast, and that may
have to some extent accounted for the

object of his whining appeal McClusky,
one of the best known of the Central

"You are shy dinner and supper for

"Give this man his yesterdays dinner, :"
said McClusky.
A slice of boiled beef, boiled potato,
two slices of bread and cup Of muddy
coffee were soon set up. Slowly the
tramp attacked the meal, and McClusly
waited. When tho dishes were clean,
the detective bec1oned to the waiter and
said:

Hindoo Grades.

The four grades of society among the
Hindoos are the Brahmans, or sacerdotal
class, who are said at the moment Of
creation to have issued from the mouth
Of Brahma; the Kshatrya, or Chuttsee
or military class, sprung from the arm
Of Brahma; the Vaisya, or Bats, or
mercantile class, from the thigh Of
Brahma, and SUdras, or Sooders, or serv-
lie class, from the foot of Brahma.
The business of the Sudras is to serve
the three superior classes, more espe-
cially the Brahmans. Their condition is
never to be improved; they are not tc
accumulate property and are unable by
any means to approach the dignity Of
Tho higher classes. These divisions are
hereditary, impossible and indefeasiblc.

ClRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
A Young Lady Who Had Narrow Escape
From Conviction.

Young Lady Who Had a Narrow Escape
From Conviction.
Stories of conviction on circumstan-
tial evidence are rife in the lawbooks
and have afforded the plot of many a
novel, - said J. S. Haberling of New
York. "a very sad case, not of con-
viction, but almost as bad In its results,
occurred in New York recently. A
young lady Of refinement, stranger in
the city, obtained employment as gov
erness in a gentlemen's family. One of
her pupils, girl 10 years old, lost a
diamond ring. 1t was found In the
desk Of the governess. She declared
she had not seen it since it was last on
the girls hand, but she was hustled off
to the Tombs, and unable to give bond
was kept there several days, exposed to
the companionshipo of the most depraved
of her sex. She was taken to court in
the Black Maria with negress and a
white woman, both convicted felons, go
ing to be sentenced. She was kept in
the pen waiting for her case to be called,
exposed to the impudent gaze Of tho
horde of courtroom loafers.
"When her case was called, the court
appointed lawyer to defend her, as she
was penniless- The prosecuting witness
and her father told the story Of the find
ing of the missing ring. The presump-
ton that the accused had placed it there
was more or less strong until the law
yer began to cross question the owner Of
the ring. Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
case drawers of the governess, and that
she had been so engaged an hour or so
before she missed her ring, and the fur
Their fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The Judge dismissed the case promptly,
and the accuser's father apologized, but
the young woman, being Of a highly
strung and nervous temperament, was
completely Frustrated by her terrible
experience in the Tombs, and the i'll
effects will, it is feared, be permanent. :"

A 5000 Ante In % Senatorial Game Was
Too Rich For His Blood.
A group Of millionaires were playing
what was probably the stiffess game OF
poker ever played in the United States
It was at Chamberlin's, in Washing
ton, in the winter of 1889 ana 1890.
The exact list Of the players viii never
be known, but Senator Wolcott Of Col
orado and Ex-Governor Hauser Of Mon.
tana were in it, and Senator Farwell Of
Chicago was in the room
About midnight swell drummer for
q Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card
to Senator FarwelL The senator went
down to see him and brought him up to
the room where the game was going on.
He introduced him to the other players
Have you any objection to my play
ing?" asked the drummer
WELL" said Senator Wolcott, Il
have no objection, but-er-well, you
see, the game is pretty steep"
''Ha, har' laughed the drummer.
THAT is the kind Of a game like"
Ex-Governor Hauser remarked that
if he could stand it the rest of the
crowd had no objection. With wink
ct Senator Farwell, the drummer sat
down, pulled ont 'Fwad, " peeled off
81, 600 bill and said to Governor Haul
ser, who was dealing;
"Give me some chipsp'
Then he looked around the table, as
much as to say;
''No flies on me, eh?"
"Give the gentleman one white
chip, said Senator Wolcott. Govern
or Hauser passed over the chip without
a smile and remarked:
Jack pot for $4,000 Put up your
money"
The drummer sat aghast for an in-
slant; then he picked up his money and
said:
"Too rich for my bloodr"
