EN- EMBEZZLEMENT THE CHARGE.
David Epstein Arrested on Warrant
Sworn by R. j. Ames.

David Epstein was arrested last night
by Detectives Horn aud Weldon on a
warrant sworn to by K. j Ames. charging
embeZZlcment. Ames runs an instalhne mt
store at No. 3O3 Seventh street. He en-
ployes agents who receive 20 per cent on
the sales they make. Epstein worked
for Ames from 1893 till January, 1896.
He charges Ames with persecution. The
agents are bound to make good all losses
resulting from the failure of purchasers
to pay, the loss being deducted from their
commi ssions. Epstein claims that a
number of bona fide sales were rejected
by Ames. He could not recover the goods,
because the purchasers would not give the m
up. Ames then charged this as loss gaiust
Epstein. The agent made good the deficit
and collected from these purchasers and
retained the money. The police do not
believe that Epstein has been guilty of
fraud.

TRIcKING Our YoUR cATs.

Cats are susceptible TO little attentions,
such as spreading rug or laying a cush-
Ion for them, and exceedingly tenacious
Of their rights of possession. Besides
Their baskets, each Of mine has a cushion
which is kept in one place, on which she
Is trained to lie, to prevent her covering
the furniture with hairs Only two have
been completely broken Of the habit, and
Lalla has so exclusively a sense of prop
erty in hers, which is in the corner Of a
sofa, that If she sees a human being rest
ing his head or elbow on it she posts her
self on the floor before him, looking him
out of countenance until he moves. Once
a visitor threw her cushion into chair
and sat on it. AS he disregarded her
mute protest she walked away, but would
not lie on it for weeks afterward. This
Jealousy Of anything like a privilege or
prerogative shows itself in them all
1t is a habit Of the house, whenever
there has been wash day among the
ca -. to give them a party in the evening;
they have bows on their necks, and are
all brought to the drawing room where
their balls are thrown to them. and as
they are always in a state Of hilarious eX-
element when the first sleeplineSs Of the
bath goes off, a general frOlic follows.
Some of them do not like the bow at first

cesSiVe complacency in her neck ribbon,

boxed their ears all around. She had a
little brass and velvet collar with a bell
which she was allowed to wear for the
rest of the day after wash ng; when
the bell was jingled she would run and
hold her neck to have the collar fastened,
and then trot about to be seen and heard.

l shall not go on with the minute de-
scripuon OF the mastiff for fear of being
tedious, but viii content myself with the
general remark that the other values
enumerated have to do with the dog $
and capacity TO carry his own great weight
with ease. The mastiff is the ideal watch
dog and for this reason is required to
have both intelligence and courage. His
Intelligence is so great that those who
have had the best opportunities OF OBJ
serving him are prepared to MAINTAIN that
he has as accurate knowledge OF property
rights as a full bench of supreme court
JUDGES. Whether in such cases the maStlf
arrives at his decisions by instinct or by
reason has not been determined, but he
would seem that the process of reasoning
could not have been absent. Indeed Mr..
Minchell of Fair Haven Vt, the breeder
of the famous Black Prince, can give
forty instances of maStiff Intelligence,
some of which are almost uncanny IN
their penetrating insight. For instance
when MIR. Winchell entered into CORE
spondence for the sale of Black Prince
the dog became uneasy, and chung TO Mr..
Ninchell with pathetic closeness. When
the telegram arrived from London clos

great head, put his tail between his legs

relate, however, that he regained his

but mercenaries we do not. The world
apparently has grown to think that
fighting as a professiOn-the bare trade
Of arms. unconsecrated by any senti-
ment of cause or country-is not a
noble thing and should not. however
ably and gaIIautly followed, be ad-
judged the highest praise.
Possibly the world is right. but we
sus7ecj that change of system in the
training of fighting has had far more

gold, but it runs way into the mil
lions.
Prempeh inherited al of these bar
rels of gold and he has added to them.
Whenever any of his 100000 subjects
collect any gold they have to turn over
the best part Of it to the king. No one
knows how much Prempeh is worth
least of all himself 1t would not be a
rash Statement to say that he may be
the richest monarch in the world, for
all of his wealth is in gold. He NAV

not worth less than 100000 900.
If he were a hnancier and knew how
to dispose Of mis- holdings to COM

out for more than S2.0O0,000 600. He
sits on chair or stool of solid gold
which four muscular blacks can just

about five hundred pounds. A pound
Of gold is worth $500 and five hundred

Prempeh owns the most valuable stool
in the world.

King Prempeh, with his 1888 wives,
his old plug hat. his state umbrella
and royal chair of solid gold, to say
nothing of millions of subjects and
thousands Of square miles of land, are
all now the property of her majesty
Queen Victoria. Ashantee has fallen
almost without a struggle and vast
territory believed to be reeling with
gold will soon be gobbled up by COM
mercial England.
The riches of the land in the Trans
vaal, which the sturdy beers have kept
under their supervision to the aggra-
walton of the English, will. it is
thought, be discounted by the gold of
Ashantee. If King Prempeh's country
pans out as expected. England can well
afford to stop her intrigues for the
domination OF tie TransVaal and con-.
centrate her attention upon develop
ing the newest acquisition.
There are 5000 00O subjects of King
Prempeh in the Ashantee country, and
the poorest of them wear ornaments
of the purest- gold. The lowliest
Ashantee woman. whose wardrobe be-
reed grass worn about the hips, has
gold bands on her ankles, gold chains
around her neck. gold bracelets on her
arms, gold rings on her fingers and
gold in her ears. If she knew enough
she could clothe herself from head to
foot in gold and do the same with her
numerous progeny.
No one knows how much Of the
precious metal there is in Ashantee.
Iron and copper also abound there,
but these have been practically cast
into the shade by the golden glamour
permeating the savage kingdom. King
Koffee, the predecessor of Prempeh,
regred in Ashantee when Viscount
Wolseley. now commander-in-chief of
the British army, made his memorable
war against the savage monarch in
1878. In Koffee's palace We're found
