Ex-GOv. BROWN SAT- ON HIS TRUNK.
And So He Always Got the Right
Train in Europe.

Irn1n In Europe.
From the Baltimore American.
EX-Gov- Brown is arranging mis- affairs
preparatory to his departure for Europe
on June 9. He seid yesterday that he ex-
pected to meet q II mber Of Baltimoreans
during his trip abroad. He intends to spend
model street railway of that city. The ex-
governor says he can speak no language
except English but in his travels abroad
heretofore has maraged to get along quite
we'll. Said he: Il have found that there is
but one safe rule in travelling abroad, and
that is to initiate the elephant, and follow
your trunk. In my former travels made
1t a point to get my trunk checked through,
registered, as they call it. Then kept
my eye on that trunk. When / saw the
bagg2gemGn put my trunk on a car l at
once got into that train and took a for
ward seat, where l could see the baggage
car doof Whenever l saw the baggage
man take my trunk out of the car got off
In this way l never made a mistake
though l could not speak the language of
the country 1 was travelling in and had no
interpreter.
ION one occasion I was at the station in
Berne, SwitZe rlan1. The station was a
union affair, and so many trains were COM
ing and gcing that / got uneasy for fear
that l would get on the wrong train So
sat on my trl rk and waited. While l was
sitting there l was approached by young
lady. who. like myself, could speak En-
glish only. She anted to know which
train to take. 1 told her to do as 1 was
doing-sit on her trunk. She did So gave
the same advice to a man, and both of
them went right. It's the only safe rule,
for the baggage generally goes right"

Supreme Court on Fortune Teller.

From the Lansing OiichI Journal
An opinion handed down by the supreme
court is likely to send cold chills running
up and down the spinal columns of mod
ern day seers, fortune tellers and the Ike
who have been wont to find a rich har-
vest in Michigan 1t is evident that the
learned justices do not take much stock
In the ability Of the seventh son of a sew
enth son to tell the future. This intimation
OF the views of the court was contained in
an opinion written by Justice Grant and
signed by the other justices in the case of
the People agt. Arthur Elmer
Last year Elmer appeared at Ionia and
advertised extensively his power to foretelI
the future He was literally patronized
put after advising a woman to leave her
husband, saying that while in a trance he
had seen the latter in the act of killing her
he was arrested as a disorderly person and
convicted.
This judgment was affirmed in an opinion
IN which the English statute, which de-
clares that every person pretending or
processing to tell fortunes shall be deemed
a rogue and vagabond," was approyingly
quoted. The opinion also approves the Ian
guage of the trial judge to the effect that
no person not a lunatic could believe the
accused possessed the power to foretelI the
future.

rrOu, Inc foriianu lheb argus.
A few days dgo a young couple came
here from Boston and went to q clergyman
to be married. After the ceremony the
groom passed to the clergyman a check for
$40. Then the groom invited the clergy
man and his wife to accompany him and
his bride in ride about town the next day
in order that the couple might see the city.
The invitation was accepted, and the four
had a very pleasant ride. The bride and
groom pi rted from the clergyman with
many expressions of regard, evidently sin
cere. Later on the clergyman had an in
Quiry from a stable keeper as to the iden-

marked worthless. The fellow paid his no.

he gave to the clergyman was also no
good. The couple have left town and their
whereabouts cannot be ascertained The
bride is described as lady of very attrac-
tive qualities.
