Smiths Two Bal Blunders-Late Capitol
Hill Notes.

Frank Smith was guilty OF two bad blunders
yesterday evening In the first place, he went
20 a retail clothing house on Weybosset street
and could not resist the temptation of lifting
two vests that were silk and of attractive de.
lign smith also took a pair Of suspenders,
not that he meditated suicide or putting them
90 any useful service. The suspenders and
the vests he intended to pawn IN order to get
the price for liquids for himself and possible
friend or two. His second blunder was the
choosing OF some stores on Charles street that
Are ON the beat of Officer Doe Of the Second
station. Smith had tried one store, but could
not dispose of his plunder. and then Officer
doe got his eyes upon him and there was an
unsatisfactory interview with awind-up at
the station. The stolen property was identi-
ted later on by one Of the proprietors OF the
weybusset street store which smith had Wis
tied earlier in the evening.

How the Humorist Put an End to Long
Winded speech.

A Gene Field story by A. y. Fleming
In the IT. Joe Times II shall never for
get che first time met Field. j was, In
1872, editor of the Caldwell Citizen, an
independent weekly paper published at
Kingston, Mo. That was the year of the
Greeley campaign. Major Gentry OF Sc
yalia was candidate for governor Oh the
Tadpole ticket. Carl Schurz was stump
ing Missouri for Gentry, Greeley & Co.
The st. Louis Democrat, great blanket
Iheet, was then running, The Globe not
get having swallowed The Democrat This
great combination was billed for Hamil-
ton Mo, for an afternoon and evening.
IL was day still remembered in Caldwell
county. IL was in October, cool and
pleasant. Hamilton was in her best, and
people came for miles TO hear Schurz, B.
Gratz Brown. Major Gentry Dink Leilet
and other noted speakers. Field, long and
thin, was with this wonderful combina-
tion, and was writing letters for The
Democrat-two and three long, 80 inch
columns per day. And what letters they
were-full of rich huInor, sparkling sar-
casm and everything that was bright and
breezy and saucy
AT this time Field was mere boy
and had made no reputation. But he was
the same Gene Field. In some things he
never changed. He was always alive for
practical joke. Gentry was a slow, poky
and wearisome speaker He had been on
the floor half an hour and was good for n
full hour to come. Field had got weary
and quietly left the hall. In a few mo-
ments the fire bell wildly rang. OF course
tho meeting broke up in mad rush. A
dash was made for the door. All got out
When peace and order was declared, Field
was at the hotel, the old Hamilton House
(now no more), in the parlor playing and
romping innoccntly with n half dozen lit
tie boys and girls. OF course Field rang
the bell, but 10 one knew it or for q mo-
ment suspected II at the time. This was
one of his practical jokes"

MR.. LEAVITPS PICTURES.
A Number of Works Disposed Of at Pub
lie Auction.

Mr.. f. G. Leavtt began his auction sale OF
paintings yesterday at 2:e0 o'clock at 43 Wey-
bosset street, where they have been on ex-
hibiton the past few days. Previous to the
sale Mr. Leavitt made some remarks on the
character OF the work
Few artists would have the courage to put
their best efforts up TO the mercy OF an auc-
ton sale, hut Mr.. Leavitt can command his
own price and feels confident tnat the public
will appreciate the privilege to bid on his
works. Many artists would feel, and truly,
that such step would be one that would
work TO their harm. Mr. Leavitt's name is
firmly established and he may take such n
step with no fear.
The room was crowded with bidders yestcr-
day, and Auctioneer Burnham had little else
10 do than put each piece exhibition and
the bidding would commence As some fine
piece would be put up some one would lmme-
diately call I'm give you $40 for that" or
some such expression, that showed that the
people were there 70 buy.
