A curious case was settled in q Ne

A curious case was settled in New
York City Civil Court one day re-
Gently. A man seated himself at q
table in restaurant, and while count.
ing q number of bills he dropped one,
to the value of 500, in the soup that
sat before him. He fished it out and
laid it on the table beside him to dry.
A gust of wind CHANGED that way and
waited the bill to tho floor, where O
dog, prowling about for what he might
devour, discovered it and swallowedit
before the loser could come to the
rescue. The man claimed $50 from
the owner of the dog, which the owner
refused to pay. Suit was brought,
and after an exciting hearing of two
hours, the Court decided that tho
owner of the dog was responsible to
the extent of $40 and costs.

Harper's Weekly says: "The popu.

Mr.. Bowers to predict that few years

Many recent crimes have shown
what facilities the bicycle gives Grim
inals for escape. The most daring as
we'll as the most atrocious of these
was the robbery of o bank in Mime.
sofa, accompanied by the murder of tho
cashier. The criminals rode away Oh
wheels and their escape seemed to bo
secured. It is pleasant to observe
that both Of them were nevertheless
caught and that the more desperate OF
the two was killed, though not until
after he had committed anotheg MUIR
der. What makes the tale especially
exemplary is that he was caught be-
cause his wheel failed him, owing to the
commonplace accident OF q broken
pedal. The fate of these scoundrels
will almonish criminals not to put
their trust in bicycles.

Died From JOY.

Excited over his loye affairs and his
approaching departure for Europe,
DR.. ErnstJ. Tanke, of Chicago, pro.
prietor Of the drug store at Ohio and
Wells streets, fell dead the other day
from heart failure in the Office of his
friend, DR.. William Theis.
A few weeks ago, says the Chicago
Record, he received a letter from
Koenigsberg, in East Prussia, where
he lived before coming to America.
He is known to have made answer.
Last Tuesday afternoon he received q
telegraph message, which although he
told no ono of its contents, put him
in a state Of great excitement.
At the meeting of q German society
in Jung's Hall Tuesday night he was
merry, chatting with everybody. and
especially with his friend DR.. Theis.
with whom he made an appointment
for yesterday morning. EARLY We'd
nesday morning he went to the Office
OF DR.. Theis and explained that he was
going to Germany; that he wanted to
leave Immediately, and that he Yves to
be married to his old sweetheart. lie
cautioned DR.. Theis to say nothing
about it, but said he would return
within thirty days with his bride.
He returned again about 10 o'clock,
talked merrily with the householdand
departed, returning the second time
at IL. Is, to find Dr.. Theis gone. He
waited in private room. Mrs. Theis
passed through the room, and re-
marked that DR.. Tanke was sleeping,
and guests in the house saw him about
noon seemingly sound asleep. DR..
Theis returned to the house at 1916,
to find his friend dead in the chair,
with his head thrown back and smil.

caused by his prospect OF future bliss
affected his heart, which lately had
been weak in its action.
