little son by a friend
AS the pug reached Mr.. Davenport's
house on the night when Mr.. Bryan, who
Is a cousin Of Mr.. Davenport made his
three speeches in st. Louis, II was at
once decided that, while the prophecies
would prevent the naming OF the animal
for the silver leader, he should be re-
ouested TO designate the title by which
the canine should be called from now on.
Mr. Bryan cheerfully accepted the re-
sponsibility, but when he saw the object
of so much solicitude, he laughingly de-
clared he knew of no name ugly enough
for It.
Finally II was concluded TO select a
name az attractive as the pug was re-
pelline. especially since In pug dogs ex-
irene tgliness Is really tantamount to
ideal beauty And 50 from now on young
Davenport's pug will be known as Ma
rion." In honor Of the Illinois county in
which MI Bryan was born.

FILTERED MAIL POUCHES.
A Porter Caught In the Act After
Operating Fifteen Months.

Operating Fifteen Months.
Chicago, Sept. 15.-Harry Laraway a
porter at the Union depot, at Detroit,
Mich, was last night caught in the act of
robbing United States mail pouches and
placed under arrest For months there
has been leak in the postal service be-
tween this country and Canada, which
the detectives were unable to locate Sus-
picion, however, pointed to Laraway, and
after much difficulty the crimes were trac-
ed to him. Inspector Stuart said to-day
that Laraways thefts had extended over
period of 10 months, and there is no tell
ing how many letters he has stolen. Last
night, alone, he took 43. Complaints have
been coming in for months past from Can
adam correspondents of Chicago banks
and a quiet surveillance was instituted.
Extra precautions were taken in the mat
ter Of sealing pouches and men were con-
cealed in the cars, but nothing wrong was
discovered. Then it was found that sacks
had been cut open and reserved with soil
ed thread. Men were detailed to follow
the vans on bicycles, others rode on the
roofs of the baggage cars and watched the
clerks, and it was at last decided that the
work was done in little brick building in
the Union depot at Detroit, where the mail
is transferred. Laraway a Canadian,
worked there at night but could not be
watched, as there was but one door and no
window. A special compartment was built
ajoining but proved impracticable. At last
a tunnel under the building was made and
the dispatched announcing the capture of
Laraway IN the very act of cutting open
a sack proves how successful this plan
was.
Laraway was brought into the United
States court at Detroit to-day waived ex-
animation, and was held in $1,000 bail.
