DERIVATION OF .Ch.rix.ri..

1t is stated that this word is found in
French in the fourteenth century, and
reference is made to Littre. I have nc
means Of referring to Littre, but desire
to indicate the use of the words "chery
feire" by Cover. give the complete
sentences from the prologue to the Con.

For II men loke In holy chirche
Betwene the worde and that they wffche,

the "Carisbrooke" edition of the "Con-

Kissed a Girl to Reach Jail.


John Henry, a carpenter out of
work from New York, took novel
method of securing a nights lodging
in Camden Monday night. About s
o'clock he stepped up to Mary letter,
l6 years old, and, after embracing the
girl, attempted to kiss her. Miss Jet
ter screamed with terror when she
was seized about the waist by the
stranger. Her sister, who accompa-
MED her, also yelled Justify, and a
crowd collected at once. The young
lady broke from the grasp of Henry
and ran across the street. The man
followed her, and, again Selling her.
managed to plant a kiss on her pro-
testing lips.
An officer had arrived on the scene
by this time and promptly took Hen
ry into custody. He made no attempt
to escape and offered no resistance
when arrested, but a crowd of indig-
nant women wanted him lynched on
the spot.
Henry was promptly sent to the
City Hall, where he explained that he
kissed the girl for the express purpose
of being locked up, as he knew Of no
other way of getting shelter for the
night. He said he did not drink and
had no money to buy liquor with even
if he used intoxicants, and that he
was too honest to steal. So he decided
to kiss some pretty girl on public
thoroughfare, knowing that he would
be arrested.

Kept Sober For Five Years.

By keeping sober for FIVE consecu-
tive years George Croker, son of the
late Charles Croker, a San Francisco
millionaire, has earned 100000.
His good fortune was given public
ity in friendly suit began recently
by Charles F. Croker and William II.
Croker as trustees of the trust created
by Charles Croker.
Harriet V. Alexandra and George
Croker are children of the late Chas.
Croker, and the other defendants
are his grandchildren.
On April %, 1887, Charles Crock
err made his wife and the two sons
who are plaintiffs in the present ae-
ton trustees of four hundred and
ninety bonds of the Southern Pacific
Branch Railway Company. They were
to collect the interest on them and in
vest the money in good securities, and
if necessary, collect the principal OF
any securities so held. The bonds and
accruing interest were to be held by
them for George Croker, with the
provision that if at any time within
fifteen years after the death Of his
father, Charles Croker, they were sat
isfed that George had not taken any
intoxicating liquor for a period Of five
years all the trust property was to 60
to him. If George did not survive or
abstain from liquor the property was
to be divided between the children Of
the trustees
Charles Crocker died August II,
1888, and his Will contained clause
providing for carrying out the provis-
ions of the trust.
Mrs. Croker died on October q,
1889, and the plaintiffs in the action
are the sole surviving trustees Of the
trust property.
1t appears that George Croker did
not overcome his bibulous tendencies
until 1881. In September of that
year he resolved to win the 100000
trust. That he succeeded was evil
denced recently when he made appli-
cation for the property, claiming that
he has carried out the terms Of the
trust by abstaining from intoxicants
from September %, 1891, to Septem-
Der %, 1896.
The trustees do not want to dispute
or contest his claim, but they feel that
they should receive an order Of the
court directing them to distribute the
trust property. In their complaint
filed in court they say they are
willing and anxious to make an ac-
counting of the trust, but in order to
prevent any possible future litigation
by provisionary legatees Of the trust
they desire an order of court to make
them secure in the disposal of the
property.
George Croker is receiving the fe-
licitations of his friends on the future
he has gained by "bracing up

WON ans Face On The Wall.

A dispatch from Orange' n. j., says
the residents in the Orange Valley dis
trict are reported to be agitated by the
appearance of wOmans face on the
wall of room in the house, "A Mitch
ell street, and although the picture is
gradually fading away as mysteriously
os it appeared,iti is asserted that there
is amazement concerning it and fears
are expressed that it is but the fore
boding of some evil either to the COM

Five years ago Mrs. Monohan, long
resident Of the valley and known to
everybody, was found dead in her bed
in the front room of the house. Be
cause other previous good health there
was great surprise at her sudden death.
The house was then one Of only three
rooms but it has since been enlarged so
as to accommodate two families, Mrs.

1t was decided yesterday that the
front room on the second floor needed

or colored) was employed TO do the
lob. 1t was in this room that Mrs.
Monahan was found dead. The kali
sominer was working along when he
noticed that there was a large spot over
tue mantel. The spot grew darker,
and he put an extra coat Of whitewash
to COVERT. Instead of this having the
desired effect, the spot took on an out
line and became the picture Of wom-
ans head.
Mrs Mitchell was called in, but she
couldn't explain the weird appearance.
Neither could Mr.. Condit Some Of
the neighbors, however, were called in
and they one and all said that the
face was that of Mrs Monahan. Mrs.
Michel was 50 frightened when she
heard this that she didn't sleep wink
last night, and all day long the house
was besieged by persons anxious to
view the picture. 1t is now reported
to be fading away as mysteriously as it
appeared. Nearly everybody in the
street thinks that something is going
to happen.
