Hoboken has a corner on precocious boy
thieves. Yesterday Thomas Markus had his
son Abe, aged II, arrested for his bad deeds,
and today Mrs. Linsberger, of No. 1872 Jefer-

ger, aged 70, to the station house and
charged him with stealing twenty cents
from her. Shesays he steals continually. In
this instance George took the twenty cents
from the mantel. George, when asked
about it, said: Eyes, / swiped the money,
but l had to. Me mudder owes me ten
cents, anyway, and | owed a dago ten cents,
SO | seed the money laying there and l took
it. | got to pay me debts" He could not
explain why he had taken the extra ten
cents, however.
Mrs. Linsberger was asked how many
boys she had besides George. She said six
well. do they all stealF' asked the Re-
corder.
"Yes, most of them does"
George was locked up awhile to brighten
him and then sent home.

The party drank a great deal of liquor,
and as time wore on the young men

hands were skylarking and enjoying
themselves immensely. Nolan was among
the foremost in the fun and all of a
sudden stumbled and fell. He was un-
able to get up from the floor and some
of his friends went to his assistance. It
was then discovered that his leg was
broken just above the ankle. DR.. Nevin

Before the Days of CARRIAGES.

Of the means of locomotion in Maine
in pioneer days a Kennebec gentleman
says:-"Before the Revolution there was
not a four-wheeled vehicle in Maine. In
1862 tw~o-wheeled chaises were first seen
in Portland, but they were used only on
wonder as flying machines would now.
Augusta had its first four-wheeled vehi-
Gle in 1900. People Travelled on foot or on
horseback in summer used rude sleds
in winter. Women had s~ide-saddles or
billions for seats, being the mems sad
dies. and no considerable journey was
by them except in that way. Horse
blocks for mounting and ~dismounting
were a necessity, and were found at near
Iysevery mans door. Grain was carried
to mill on the farmers back or the
horses back, and it was a common thing
to see a small boy perched atop OF several
bags of grain on the back of the family
horse going to mill All not crippled
were great pedestrians. and women
thought as little of walking miles then
as they do of furlongs now.'-Lewiston
(Me.) Journal.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING

There was a narrow escape from drown
ing this afternoon in the Courtlandt street
ferry slip at the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot. One of the boats was going out
when a man tried to get back onto the
cock from the ferryboat which he had
only just boarded. His foot caught the
square piece of planking pushed from the
dock for the convenience of passengers
when a deckhand with a boathook ffshed
him out. He said that his name was
Edward Pryor of st. Nichola avenue
and One Hundred and Twentieth street,

OUAsHED THE WARRANT.

BANGOR, Me-. Aug. 20, 1S96.-In the
Supreme Court, yesterday, in the case of
the State against Fred Michaud of Winn,
counsel for the defence, raised the novel
point that the warrant on which liquor
had been seized on Michaud's premises
was issued August 4, but was NOT served
until August s, whereas the law would
not Justify more than twenty-four hours
DELAY. Justice Foster sustained the
point. and ordered complaint and warrant
ausshed. This ruling If sustained by the
fun Bench will nullify almost all Of the
many Bar Harbor liquor cases resulting
from recent raids by crusaders.

Perfumtng a RurgIar.

A man named Frank March recently
broke into a doctors house in Gambler
nell. England. The doctor happened to
be in, and he at once hurled a bottle
containing peppermint at the intruder.
March, who WAS seeking money, got
nothing but a scent. 1t chung to him
when he was taken before the Lambeth
Magistrate.
The odor of the peppermint had been
the clue that led to his arrest. Tit cir
cumstantial evidence against him is, lit
orally, strong, as the Cambermell doctor
never dilutes his peppermint.
The housebreaker win set up the de-
Tense that peppermint is a pleasing per-
fume, and that he cannot, therefore, be
considered in bad odor.

Newspapers as Educators.

The educational value of news.
papers has never been more con-
spicuously shown than during the
past year or two, when Important
scientific discoveries have crowded
80 thickly upon ore another.
There is no reader of good newspa'
per nowadays who is not thorough
" posted as to all scientific discov-
cries, SO far as these discoveries
can he made known without techni'
cal study and explanation. The
information impaired in this way
has not only been valuable for IN
formation's sake and in keeping
readers thoroughly W. to date, bu
it constantly stimulates inquir!
and intellectual activity in thei
minds.
