A Slight NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A very ludicrous incident occurred at
Vienna the other day, says the st. Louis
Globe-D Democrat, when Max Halbe, the
successful playwright, who had come to
close a contract with the managers of a
Vienna playhouse for the performance of
one of his dramas, found that his shoes
had been stolen during the night just pre-
ceding his return home.
In Vienna hotels it is the custom to
place ones shoes in front of the bed
room door before retiring; the hotel por-
ter calls for them, cleans them and re-
places them. on that particular day
some sneak thief had entered the hotel
and walked away with half a dozen pairs
of shoes, among them Halbes.
In Munich Halbe's wife was anxiously
awaiting his return, and, to quiet her
fears, since he could not arrive on time,
Halbs sent her the following dispatch:
Gould not leave hotel; stole shoes. Max"
An hour and a half later kilograms began
pouring into Vienna to Halbes friends.
to the manager of the theatre, where he
had just concluded arrangements to have
his play produced, and to the chief of
police, with the request to help Mr. Halbe
at once, and to get him a good lawyer.
The wife of Mr.. Halbe had misunder-
stood her husbands telegram, and be
lieved that he could not leave Vienna for
having stolen shoes. Although she could
not possibly understand why he should
steal shoes, the poor woman believed that
he had had a fit of kleptomania and had
been caught in the act. After another
exchange of kilograms the misunder-
standing was explained away.

That object Lesson.
From the Philadelphia Ledger QnO

The device reported to have been adopt
ed by a number of business firms of pay
ing their employees in Mexican dollars by
way OF an object lesson on the bullion val
ue of silver is likely to fail of half its
eject If, as stated, the men are paid dou-
bic wages in this sort of money. 1t would
not be honest to pay them less. since Mex
lean dollars, though containing more sill
yer than the American coins, are worth
only half as much, but the practice will
lead the men TO expect that their wages
will be doubled if American silver sinks
TO its bullion value. In this respect IL
IS TO be feared, the lesson is not salutary:
but as showing how much of the value
Of silver dollar depends on the govern
ments nat, the experiment is full of in
strucuon At a bullion dealers the Mex
lean dollars would sell for more than the
American dollars, but at a provision deal
~ they VIII purchase only half as much.
