Mark Twain's Sympathies.

Aprcpos Of the proposed subscription for
the benefit Of Mark Twain, the humorist
tells a story which would seem to say that
the appeal. for contributions should not be
made too long or too narrowing. A mis-
sionary once visited Hartford, and made a
long and pathetic appeal for funds where
with to relieve misery and distress in the
slums where he was working. After lis
tening to the agonizing story of suffering.
Mark Twain said to himself: For Gods
sake. send that plate round, SO that l can
pour my sympathy into it. I'll give these
four 10O-dollar bills. and if l can get piece
Of paper, I'll write a check for something
more. 1 can very well spare little money
for a cause like that" But the lecturer
went on talking, and as he talked Twain
enthusiasm Gained. and the red flush of
his sympathy became paler. And when
the missionary had been talking about alt
an hour l had saved one Of those bills. and
when he had talked five minutes more two
Of those bills were mine again, and when he
had been talking an hour 1 had won an
four back. and. by gosh, when he finally
did send that plate round, I borrowed ten
CENTS out of it to pay my car fare home"

more. / have known Mr.. Atkinson since he
was boy, and have never heard him utter
an oath in my life"
This closed the testimony.
The commissioners then adjourned to the
private Office of Chief Webster, where, after
half an hours deliheration, they brought
in the verdict given above. The result was
a surprise to the many friends of Oh1cer
Atkinson, for he has always borne the repu-
tation of being a conscientious and gentle
manly officer.
At exactly $50 o'clock this morning .Otti-
Ger Atkinson appeared before Mayor
Thompson. who delivered the following rep
rimand to him:
"Oficer Atkinson. the board of police
commissioners after hearing the charges
preferred by Mr.. Eugene B. Taylor of inso-
lence and assault upon him by you, and the
evidence produced. have concluded that you
exceeded your authority the night of the
18th of June, in the manner in which you
accosted Mr.. Taylor, and while they are
averse inficting punishment in the case
being the first charges ever preferred
against you, they feel they cannot let the
matter drop without a reasonable admoni-
ton. That you were guilty of an infraction
of the police rules. which demand courtesy
from an officer toward citizen, III the
street in the station house, is clear 10
the board and that you. while in the ser
vice of the city, must avoid repetition OF
the offense is an imperative admonition.

not in charge of drivers, but the runaway
horses managed to make turns at the right
time and steer clear of them. In front
Of the District building the team came

A Jag md u Bag of Crabs.
From the Philadelphia Record

A man with Jag and a bag of live crabs
created no end of CONSERVATION in a I'd
street car last evening. At South street
the crabs woke up and made themselves in
evidence by breaking through the paper
bag and making hideous grimaces at the
passengers. One drowsy woman opened
her eyes to find one of the crawling Great
ures on her lap. With a yell she arose and
shook her skirts. but the crab held on. A
brave youth relieved the woman of the
crab, threw 1t on the floor and kicked It.
Several other crabs. which escaped from
the bag, could be noticed receiving like
say that their owner was fierce would be
putting 1t mildly. In language that was
thick and highly colored he invited the
entire contents of the car to fight. 1t was
then that the conductor told him to collect
his crabs and get of, which he finally did
greatly to the relief Of the other passen-
gers.
