TOOK HIM FOR A BURGLAR.
Ni,e Fix of n Young Man Who Used His
Old Latch-K Key to Look Up Friend.

Me Fix of a Young Man Who Used His
Old Latch Key to Look Up u Friend.
The bestowal of a latch-key is sa-
cred trust not always appreciated by
tenants. 1t is the commonest thing in
the world for boarder to walk of
with his door key, thus retaining to
himself the power to enter former
dwelling at any hour of day or night
he pleases, says the New York World.
OF course, very few tenants hold on to
ther keys with any such possibility IN
view, but for the safety OF herself and
future tenants the landlady should be
more particular than she averages at
present in redeeming the means OF en-
try to her household.
A couple of night ago a young man
arrived from the West about ii p. m.
and promptly betook himself to look
up an old friend, whose room his own
had adjoined in house on 4tth street
The house was closed up for the night,
SO the Young man took out his erst-
while latchkey and, letting himself
In, mounted to his chum's room. He
was OUT the gas was out, and without
waiting to turn it up the traveller
stretched himself on the sofa to wait,
and in doing so fell asleep.
When he woke it was to find himself
face to face with the basilisk stare OF
n strange man and with O revolver.
The room had changed tenants; that
was pretty plain, but it wasn't equally
plain how he was to mako clear thai
he was neither burglar nor an assas'
sin.
"If you'll lay down that thing" he
said, after a hurried explanation TO
tho man with the revolver, Ill cali
up the landlady and provo my case.
With man and revolver in pursuit no
did find the landla iy's door. only to bo
confronted by strange woman. who
Immediately went into Mysteries.
Then every other woman in the
house raised her voice in hys terics and
more mon with revolvers gathered in
tho passageways until things began to
look pretty blue for the young man.
At last the final man, armed to the
teeth, Joined the boarders, and as he
did SO the poor excited traveller gave
q cry OF relief.
Put down your firearms" called the
last conner, "and stop your shrieks.
You were looking for Dick, weren
you? He's gone to Europe. The whole
house here has changed hands. I'm
the only one CT the old crowd left
There" shouted the besieged ma,
flinging the key at the scantily-robed
landlady, there's the key OF thi'

A BRIGHT STAR.
A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO LED
MARY ANDERSON TO FAME.
Also Played Lending Roles With Booth,
Barrett and ThOrne.


(From The 81. Louis Chronicle.)
One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John w. Nor
ton Born in the seventh ward OF New York
City forty-s'x years ago, the friends OF his
youth were Thomas w. Keene and Frank
Chanfrau. We find Keene a star at the age
Of 25 and Norton in the flower OF early man
hood tho leading man for Edwin Booth at
the famous Winter Garden Theatre. He
was starred with Lawrence Barrett early in
the 7Os, and alteInated the leading roles
with Charles Thorne at the Variety Theatre
in New Orleans. Early in the Centennill
year, in Louisville, Norton met our Mary
Anderson, then a fair young girl who aspired
for stage fame, took her under his guidance
and, as everybody knows, led her to fame.
MIR. Norton Ia now the proprietor OF tho
Grand Opera House in st. Louis, tho Du
Ouesne Theatre, Pittsburg. AMI one OF tho
stockholders in the American Extravaganza
Company.
One afternoon early In June he hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been rheumatic suf-
ferer Tor Two years. Norton was surprised
that McManus had discarded his cane. Who
cured you? he asked. 81 cured myself" re-
piled McManus, "whh DIR. Williams Pink
Pills"
81 was encouraged by Mr.. McManus euro
and as Il last resort tried the Pink Pills my
self" said Mr.. Norton to a Chronicle re-
porter. "You have known me Tor Ave years
and know how l have suffered. Why dur
ing tho summer OF 1893 was on my back at
the Mullanphy Hospital, in this city four
weeks. i was put on tho old system of diet

properties in my blood that medical theorists
SAY Is the cause OF my rheumatism. / left
the Hospital feeling stronger. but the first
damp weather brought with it those excru-
ciuting pains in the legs and back. 1t was
the same old trouble. After sitting down
for stretch OF five minutes the pains
screwed my legs into ~ knot when arose,
and hobbled as painfully as ever. After !
had taken my first box of Pink Pills it struck
me that the pains were less troublesome.
tried another box. and / began almost un-
consciously TO have faith in the Pink Pills.
Improved so rapidly that could rise after
sitting at my desk for an hour and the
twinges OF rheumatism that accompanied nv
4 rising were so mild that scarcely noticed
them. During the past two weeks we have
had much rainy weather in st. Louis But
the dampness has not had the slightest effect
in bringing back the rheumatism. which
consider sufficient and reliable test OF the
efficacy OF Pink Pills. l may also say tina,
the Pink Pills have acted as a tonic on nv
stomach, which l thought was well nigh de.
stroyed by the thousand and one alleged
remedies consumed in the past five years.

A Story of Governor Bushnell

The Indi annapolis Journal has the fol-
lowing from Richmond, Ind: Ma jor j.
$. Ostrander OF this city was school
mate of Ohio's newly elected governor
and he knows the gentleman well and
recites many interesting incidents rela-
tive to their young days at Springfield,
Ohio. In talking OF Mr.. Bushnell, MIR.
Ostrander said: when / was n boy my
father moved to Springfield, where he
was engaged IN doing some railroad en-
gineerlng. ! went to school with Asa
Bushnell, ana he always had the dis
tinction among the boys of being very
witty. He clerked in q store in Spring
field for long time, which was owned
by a man named Spencer, and IL was
frequently the case that Asa would invite
a crowd of boys into the place alter clos
ing hours, and We enjoyed ourselves with
bnyish pranks, being quite NOISY at tim es
Finally MIR. Spencer became aware of Asa
taking his companions into the store
after night, and gave MIN a SQUAD rep
rimand, admonishing him to allow no
one besides himself in the place after
closing hours. One night, not long after,
there came a sudden knock al the
door, followed by an attempt TO unlock
it. We were frightened, knowing well
that Mr.. Spencer was there, but We trust
ed to Asa to get us out of the difficulty.
He went to the door and said who's
there:
" MIR. Spencer. came The reply. l
forgot my PAPER and have come back for

&" OF much, said Asa. You're not
Mr.. Spencer, and you can't fool me that
way. He has told me to allow no one i'll

go on And with this as parting
salute Asa left he door and few min
utes later Mr.. Spencer left, for despite his
protests that he was the owner OF the
store, the door remained locSed."

The president was authorized to engage
The Catalina Island Marine band for tho
parade, which makes two bands already
engaged, and there will probably bs an-
other one.
1t was resolved to invite the people of
adjoining towns-North Pasadena, South
Pasadena, Eamanda Park, GarvanZa,
Monrovia, San Gabriel, Albambra, Sierra
Madre, La Canyada, Lincoln Park. a lta-
dena and Echo Mountain-to participate
in the tournament, and the secretary was
instructed to send the proper invitations.
The matter OF the line OF march for the
parade was discussed at some length. but

of the committee to bring in at the next
meeting the plan of a route. The sugges-
ton that seemed to meet with most favor
was that the procession form on East

ing on Lake and Moline. and that the line
of march be thence westward OH Colorado
to Orange Grove, countermarching on
that avenue to give the judges an oppor'
tunity TO make their inspection.
The committee recognizes the difficulty
of selecting Judges who will be both will
ing to serve III that capacity and at the
same time satisfactory to those TAXI nS
part in the parade, but they will en-
deavor to do this in the best manner pos
sible By selecting some of them from
neish boring towns, as we'll as from Pasa-
dena.
The bjcyclists suggested the name OF

the parade, and he will probably be ap-
pointed to that position. Captain Bang
