NOT TO BE CHEATED.
How a Man in the West Got the Best o
Certain GrOcerS.

How Man in the West Got the Best of
Certain Grocers.
There is a certain genius in one Of our
Western towns who will doubtless never
lose any of his worldly possessions if it
depends on his wit to retain them. His
entry into the town, and a subsequent
method he employed to secure redress
from a grocer who had outrageously i'm
posed upon him by selling him a lot of
sugar mixed with lime, sufficiently testify
to his ability in such matters.
The lmpurity of the sugar was hardly
perceptible at first, but when put into
use it quickly showed it's inferiority. The
next day ali advertisement appeared in
the town paper that read somewhat as
follows:
SHOULD the grocer, who, for his profits,
injudiciously mixed pound of lime with
a few pounds of sugar, and lately sold it
to customer, not send to that person at
once the pound of sugar he cheated him
of, his name shall be disclosed in the
newspapers To which advertisement
he affixed his name and address.
The morning had hardly passed before
a pound of sugar arrived, followed in
quick succession by seven more, all from
different sources, which plainly showed a
distressing want of honesty among tie
grocers of the town.
1t is not related whether the coffee,
tea, and various other articles were ex-
amined by the genius in hopes of a SINH
lar condition and like reward; but the
presumption is that no time was lost in
ascertaining if such a possibility actually
existed.-Harper's Round Table.

New York MOrUue.

The announcement has been made that
within a few months New York is to
have ia model morgue that will rival the
famous morgue of Paris, which has been
one of the sights in that city. To people
of normal minds, if they don't happen to
be abroad on sightseeing expedition, a
morgue is place to be Stunned at all
times. 1t is fact, however, attested by
every man who has been a keeper of the
city morgue in this city that nearly half
of the visitors who go there are actuated
solely by curiosity. The visitors seldom
admit that this is the reason for their
presence in the dismal place. They usu-
ally say that they are looking for a lost
relative. Their confusion is apparent
when they are asked to describe the
missing person, and then, if the morgue-
keeper says that he has no such body they
will ask to look through the morgue any
way. Most IF these curious visitors are
women. They come in the largest mum
beers when the body of someone whose
death has been sensational rests there
A few months ago a woman committed
suicide at a Broadway hotel, and it was
several days before her body was identi-
fed During the time it was at the
morgue it was inspected by hundreds of
women who had no expectation of identi-
flying it. They read of her suicide in the
newspapers, and they wanted to see what
she looked like and even to inspect her
clothing. York Sun.

+ Some Drunken Manias.

Sheriff Barclay of Perth, Scotland, who
died some few years since, kept a record
of the curious cases of drunkenness that
came under his observation. Several
habitual cases had developed odd manias
One woman who had been arrested 1877
times for drunkenness in twenty-one
years had mania for breaking windows
when she was intoxicated. An old SOL
der, suffering from wound in the head
always stole Bibles when he was tipsy.
Another man stole nothing but spades,
while one woman's fancy ran to shawls
and another's to shoes. A man named
Grubb was transported seven different
times for stealing tubs, although there
was nothing in his line of, life. to make
tubs particularly desirable to him.

good house greeted Otis Skinner and his
company last night in their presenta-
ton of the comedy with the hybrid title
of His Grace de Grammont." The play
and it's performance were fully reviewed
in these columns recently, when the
same company presented it here for the
first time. There is. therefore, nothin Z
to add, save that the performance gave
unqualified pleasure to the audience.
The character of Clyde Fitch's hero ex-
actly suits Mr.. Skinner, who is one of the
best, if not the very best actor of roman
tic characters on the American stage to-
day.
For this reason his performance OF
Romeo tonight ought to be highly pleas
in. Mr.. Skinner is a scholarly reader,
and his impulsive warmth will give to
his rendition Of Romeo all the glamor of
romance and poetic sentiment that the
part calls for. Maud Durbin, whose
Ophelia was so universally admired,
will be the Juliet; Frederick Moseey
the Mercutio, and Sarah Truax the Lady
Capulet.

DURRANT'S DOOM
The Lawyers Will Fight Until the
End

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE appeal
of Theodore Durrant for mercy will be
formally presented today to Governor
Budd. Several petitions are now In cir
culation in the city. A special effort has
been made to secure the signatures of bust
ness men. but comparatively little success
is being won. These petitions Will not be
withdrawn until Thursday, when the at
torneys will start for Sacramento. While
the greatest force of Durrant's representa-
tives will be directed toward Governor
Budd, some attention is also being given
to the legal phases that still remain in the
case.
While nothing will be left undone to win
executive cemency, provision is still be-
ing made for the contingency Of failure.
If Governor Budd should refuse to inter-
fere. the lawyers wish to be in position
to continue their battle in the courts. No
time has been lost in fling with the Su-
preme Court the transcript OH appeal from
the order of Judge Bahr sentencing Dur
rant to death. The document has been
printed, and is now in the hands of the
appellate tribunal. The transcript includes
no fact in the case that has not already
been published. The only significant point
is that in which the defense claims that
Durrant is under double sentence, i'm
prisonment at San Quentin and death. This
appeal. as already indicated, will not act
as stay of execution. Proceedings in the
Federal courts will be commenced as soon
as possible
