would spend the night with Mrs. A.

was easy TO accomplish, for the latch
keys of the two houses were alike.
Mrs. Il. therefore effected an entrance
and found the house deserted. oh.

Up for Three Months.
st. Paul. Oct. 20.-The mysterious
Charles Kelly, alias Cora Baker, came
before the court to ask that he might
be permitted to withdraw his former
plea of not guilty and plead guilty to
petit larceny.
DR.. Amoss had a good word to say
Of the prisoner. He had worked for
the doctor with great fidelity for a
year, and had been entrusted with
money and valuable property. The
doctor had never noticed anything
wrong with the defendant until he
had returned from an absence from
the city. Then the property named
IN the indictment had been stolen.
Even Judge Kelly was n little
aroused by the singular alias. and
asked the doctor: "Ha is indicted 10y
u singular alias; do You know Of any
reason why he should have assumed
female attire:"
"There are some reasons" said the
doctor, "why he might with propriety
have worn female clothing"

THE VENEZUELA QUESTION
Mr. Cleveland Will Send the Entire Core spondence to Congress Without Any
 Definite Recommendation.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Secretary Olney was closeted with the president nearly all the morning, this conference follow ing one of equal duration last night The Venezuelan matter, it is understood was under discussion and it is stated that the conclusion reached was to send into the senate probably tomorrow, the text of Secretary Olney's note to the British government defining the Monroe doctrine, and also the text of Lord Sails burys reply, in which, after consulting, as he says, most eminent authorities on international law, he states the British view of the legal question presented. The whole controversy, so far as the British side is concerned, is stated to assume an exceedingly technical legal shape and the belief is that the president will send the matter to congress for its action without any definite recommendation, except such as may be derived from cor respondence.
