warders over that We're escorting him
to the prison, ran and darted down the
passage, at the end Of which he ran
into the arms of a dozen guardians OF
the peace and was after a desperate
struggle captured and conveyed to the
van. Saunderson will be more closely
watched in future.
An Inspiration from Tammany.
The "Tammany" police news from
New York is not pleasant reading and
we in London undoubtedly go "one
better" as far as guardians of the peace
are concerned, and man found re-
ceiving gratuities ds at once dismissed.
"A man may wear suit of blue
And in his way look nobby,
But warning take from gay New York
And never trust Bobby
So do be good and badness stop
Or big expenses you may 'cop!"
In a recent issue of the Daily Graphic
appeared curious picture. 1t repre-
sented hospital bandages and splints
with an occasional eye, nose and mouth
showing out from the background. 1t
was picture of some of the players
in the Yale versus Harvard foot ball
game! Above were the portraits of the
men before the struggle. This rather
takes one back to student days in Ger
many, where a few slashes across the
face We're considered an improvement
rather than a DETACHMENT Of beauty!

The body of Fuller, the unfortunate
man who attempted to dive from the
tower bridge, has been recovered, and
at the inquest it transpired that to at

perts say that the man must have died

damsels proved that the majority of
them could jump five feet, several
going better while at foils and quarter

be no mean exponent of poker exercises
and it is really hard lines on men who
occasionally go to the club for another
kind of poker and return home late
and sometimes 80 so!''
At the Pavilion Music Hall the other
night there occurred an edifying scene.
Miss Bessie Bellewood, a well-known
star, sang two songs which were some

public rose from its position among the
gods and did what the geese do. But Bes-

made Of the stuff that quietly takes a
rebuff, so she promptly told the dissent
ers what she thought of them in the
choicest phraseology. She alluded, with
emotion, to the fact that she was do
ing her best" and said it was her civ
ing" etc, and wound up with a general
invitation to every man of her own
weight to meet her, there and then, at
the stage door, whereupon there arose
q counter-demonStratio and things
ruled exceedingly lively, and Bessie
walked off, breathing defiance. If any
gentleman of Bessies tonnage had met
her invitation, there Is little doubt that
the gentle girl would have promptly
popped him upon the nose, as Bessie
has done it before, and, / assure you,
that the police proceedings were anus
ing. / well remember the time when
this young lady assaulted a cabby and
protected certain weakly lordling
when in trouble with another jarvey.
