ton of Stealing His Trunk.
Lawyer Leslie Barton trusted his lodger,
William W. White for three months board,
which amounted to $50, and when he found
that he couldn't collect it, proceeded in the
old-fashioned way by attaching Whites
trunk.
To facilitate matters, he placed the trunk
outside OF the dodgers rooms, SO that the
constable with the writ of replevin could
the more easily make the attachment, to
which proceeding the lodger strenuously
objected.
After the miX-up that followed lie had
his ineXorable landlord arrested for grand
larceny of the trunk.
The case was heard before Judge Miller
this morning, and the court held that mat
ters of the kind should be decided before a
civil tribunal.

ill-gotten gains, which he lands and dis
poses Of to one Of the fences OF receiv-

coil OF rope. When out OF luck he keeps
himself alive by fishing or stealing other

gun and frequently shoots his breakfast
and dinner. It is stated that the fences
clear heavy profit on the sale OF The

original thief is the safer one, as he can
usually manage to dodge the river police.

Sallie Ward, cOlored, made the sad mis-
take Of getting drunk last night and acting
in a disorderly manner before Police Lieut.
Boyle's house. She aroused the officer
from his beauty sleep, and when he remon-
strated with her from his window she
answered him in choice BiIlingsgate, in
forming bin that she didn't give a -
for any - policeman in this - world
The officer hastily dressed and coming
down to the pavement, found the befuddled
Sallie still Grating.
Therefore, TO make sure that she shouldn't
stray off and lose herself, he took her to
No. s station. From there she was this
morning tenderly conveyed to the police
court, where, blear-eyed and worn, she was
charged with disorderly conduct.
She denied the charges in toto, but her
story didn't go, and she was sentenced to
fifteen days in the workhoUse.

The river thief is waterman who lives
by stealing from vessels in harbOrs and

every one who trades or cruises along the

consists of a tarpaulin and heavy jack
knife; all day he sleeps in his dingey. end

nuffled oar in creased rOwlock
Under cover of the darkness the rat
sculls quietly to the side OF the some newly
anchored vessel and watches to see whether
the crew goes ashore. Strange yachts and
trading ships are often left for a time
without even a watchman. When the thief
has made sure that a vessel is thus TN
protected he makes fast his boat and climbs
aboard. He first looks for rope, and with
a few slashes Of his knife will secure many
coils of valuable MANILA rope. Then he
turns his attention To the cabins and IL nn-
disturbed rifles them OF everything port
able, forcing locks if necessary with his
jimmy and skeleton keys.

There is no use talking Theodore Serb.
ner's love for the workhouse will not allow
him TO remain for any length of time
without the walls of that hospitable in
stitution. Yesterday Theodore was charged
by officer Ellis with vagrancy, but as the
officer swore that he had seen his prisoner
drunk every day for a week, and it was
shown that the unfortunate Scribner had
been discharged from the hospital only the
day before. he was allowed to go.
Such a conclusion to a charge against
him was so unusual that Theodore left the
courtroom under the impression that he
had been accorded the freedom Of the CITY
Under this delusion he went out last night
and became sointOXiCated that the freedom
Of the city enlarged itself in his ina gina
ton TO the freedom Of the earth In this
condition he was found by Officer Hester
on Connecticut avenue bowling, surging
and ia the intervals holding up pedes-
trians for the price Of further liquid happi-
ness.
In the police dock this morning he
lounged back in his familiar corner with
anair OF satisfaction and though he pleaded
not guilty from force OF habit he was
evidently resigned to his fate.
After officer Hester had given his tes-
timony, Scribner wabbled msteadily to
the prisoners box. which he has occupied
so many times. Again he tried the effect

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Excessive
 Use.

Common soda is all right in it's place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a. medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it.
 We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which s frausGlt with danger moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach troubTe gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as a mechanical irri- tant to the walls of the stamach and bowels and cases are on record where it accumulated in the antestines, causing death by inflammation or peritonitis.
 Dr. HarlandSon recommends as the safest and Surest cure for sour stomach .(aeid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara- tion sold by druggists under the name of StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets. These ta blets are large 20 grladn loZenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the nat urail acids, ,peptones and digestive ele- ments essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system.
 Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach heterogeneous and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digest ing the food they create a healthy ap- petite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the hsart and liver. They are not a oathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and win be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
