ing Confidence Game.

Portland July PA couple of boys I'M
der Il years of age attempted a clever
confidence game on several Portland
merchants, Wednesday. The boys are
Frank Leonard and John J. Sullivan. One
would engage a dealer in conversation,
while the other would help himself to
what was in reach.
They visited the store of David Hooper
on Middle street, and while that gentle
man was looking at a steamboat time
table for Sullivan, Leonard got into the
money drawer and was making off with
IS which he found there. when Mr..
Hooper observed and stopped him. Sulli-
van took advantage Of the confusion to
get away. He was arrested later in the
evening.
The trick had been tried in other stores,
but without success. Both boys are of
respectable families.

THE TIDY TADPOLE.
Eats His Weaker and Superfuous Com
panions in a Neat Manner.

A wonderful spirit of tidiness seems
to pervade the tadpole world. They
always eat whatever has become use
less-their own eggs, their spperfuous
companions. Even those who are only
weakly are cleared out of the way and
the victims take it all as a matter Of
course. l have disturbed a strong
member Of the community just as he
begun to dine off the tail of weaker
brother, but the sufferer had not
troubled to escape-he simply waited
till the fratricide returned to COM
plete his deadly work. For some time
there is no grave change in the tad
poles. They simply grow and become
SO far transparent that their internal
mechanism, which consists of one coil
of intestines, is plainly visible. When,
however, they are about three months
old careful observer can distinguish
tiny foot on either side of the base of
the tail.
These grow slowly, but seem unable
to move independently until shortly be-
fore the borderland is passed which
leads to perfect froghood. The hind
legs have reached their full size before
the front ones appear, and, while the
feet grow slowly, the hands are ready
made and can be used at once. For
day OF two they can be seen under the
skin before they venture forth and
their possessor is very restless and ex-
cited. He rushes madly about, iostling
his comrades and no doubt being voted
bore; then a more vigorous effort
breaks the skin and tiny hand and
arm appear. There seems some rule
about the order of precedence here, as
there is when the whislters go, for this
year my tadpoles, almost without ex-
ception, had their right hands some
hours before the left, while on previous
occasions have had an entirely left
handed crew.-Chambers' Journal.

AN ENOCH ARDEN CASE.
Only in This Case Husband Insists OIL
Having the Children

Only in This Case Husband Insists on
Having the Children,
In 1872 at Stevens Point, Wis, a Po-
lish count married Annie Stenger, q
farmers daughter. Count Svevielski
succeeded in gaining a living for his
wife until three children were born,
when he was called to Russia, upon the
death of his father. There he inherited
a fortune, but before he could settle
his affairs and return to America he
was imprisoned ON the charge of be.
ing implicated with nihilists in promul-
eating seditious literature. He was re-
leased and imprisoned three times. He
spent nearly eight years in a dungeon,
and it was only after spending his en-
tire fortune in fighting against trans
portation to Siberia that he was finally
released and banished from the coun-
try.
During his imprisonment the count
was not allowed to write home to Amer
ica and his wife came to believe him
dead. Five years ago he arrived in New
York, where he learned that his wife
had moved with her father and chill
dren to Minor county, S. D., and that
only recently she had married James
Phillips, farmer. Svevielslii remained
in New York as a teacher of modern
languages, gradually working his way
upward, and finally entered the en-
ploy of the Lake Shore g. Michigan
Southern railway as travelling inspector,
with headquarters at Chicago, where
he now resides.
During the five years since his return
to America, Svevielsld has accumu-
lated quite a snug fortune and is now
trying to get possession of his children
to give them an education. His former
wife resents his interference, and al
though the children desire to return
to their father, they are prevented and
constantly watched to prevent their
running away.
Division Superintendent Ashbel B.
Newell, of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern, at st. Paul, stated that he
knew of no employe who answered to
the description of Count Svevielsli and
that the road had no travelling inspector
by that name.

Torrens Land Law UnconstitutionaI.

Columbus, June 4. - The supreme
court yesterday declared the Torrens
land tenure law unconstitutional. The
case was brought by the attorney gen.
eral against Walter Guilbert, state au-
ditor, and others. The Torrens land
act was passed April 2o. 1896. 1t has
cost the state in drafting and testing It
not less than 5000, all of which is a
dead loss The supreme courts de-
cision is based on the fact that the law
provides new method of judicial pro-
cedure, and in it's assurance feature
takes private property for private use.

VERY STRANGE TENANTS.
Wild Beasts Take Up Their Abode
in Californians Home.
Hears Strange Noises in Cellar and
Investigation Reveals Family of
Mountain Lions-Saves the
Four Cubs Alive.

The cellar of the house inhabited by
human beings is a strange place for
wild beasts to make their homes, but
it happened far back in the hills near
Sunol, Alameda county, Cal, where
Antonio Nunez, farmer, lives with his
family. Antonio is a thrifty and in
dustrious man and has prosepered.
Two weeks ago he moved from his old
home into another house that had no,
yet been occupied. For several days
after Antonio and his family moved into
their new home they heard strange
sounds coming apparently from the
cellar. AS Antonio was busy with his
farm work and those at the house were
engaged in setting things to rights, no
effort was made to ascertain the cause OF
the sounds. But when day after day
passed and the noise from the cellar
did not cease Nunez determined to make
an investigation. Though courageous,
Antonio is discreet and he c>lled in a
few friends to his assistance. Armed
with shotguns they made their way
into the cellar They had hardly
reached the side of the stone walled
place when from the place beneath the
stairway there bounded y splendid
specimen of California lioness. Before
a shot could be fired the animal escaped
through the open door.
A second later and the lion, big,
ugly beast, made a jump for the stair
way. But this time Antonio was ready
and killed the animal at the first fire.
While his friends stood guard at the
doorway Antonio made a search under
meath the stairway and found four cubs.
They were as comfortable as kittens
having an old coat and quilt for bed.
Eunez took the biting and scratching
cubs upstairs and for the rest of the
day and far into the night waited for
the lioness to return, but the brute did
not come back. Nunez is going to try
and raise the cubs. The dead lion
measured six feet from tip to tip.

What May Be Done Eere Under the
Neutrality Laws.
The state department has received
10 inquiry from Greek consuls in this
country as to their right to organize
a subscription for the equipment of a
Greek regiment in the United States,
but the law on the subject is said to
be so well defined that such a request
would require no special consideration.
Funds may be subscribed in the United
States to aid either Turks or Greeks;
arms and munitions of war may be sold
to either side, they accepting the risk
of getting them across the water to
their destinations; but the neutrality
laws apply strictly. and as the United
States is on friendly terms with both
the combatants. under no circum-
stances can the organization of hos
tile expedition against either be permit
ted on our soil, nor would it be allowed
to depart from the United States on
such mission. This law does not in
terfere with the movements of individ-
uals who may seek to return to their
native land.

NEW STORAGE BATTERY.
IL Much Lighter and Cheaper Than
Those Now In Use.

Those Now In Use.
Felix S. Rively. an electrical and
mechanical engineer of Pittsburgh, Pa,
has just made public an invention
which he recently completed, which
promises to revolutionize the methods
now in use for street car and moto-
cycle locomotion. Mr.. Rively's inven-
ton is an electric storage battery, which
will far surpass anything which is
now in use. A severe test was made
in Philadelphia last week which was
perfectly satisfactory in every respect
and demonstrated the advantages of
the invention.
The battery has several advantages
over the ordinary storage battery,
most prominent among which is the
fact that it needs charging only every
06 hours, whereas the ordinary battery
must be charged every six hours. An
other important feature is the fact that
Mr.. Riveley's invention weighs but $50
pounds, while the lightest nav on the
market weighs $50 pounds. The latter
costs $1,000, while the one that has
just been patented can be sold for $50
A company has been formed in Phila-
delphia with capital stock of S5,OoO,'
600 and an immense plant will be erect
ed at once to make the batteries. The
new Monongahela Street Railway COM
pany, which was recently chartered to
run between Brownsville and Believer
non, and of which Mr.. Riveley is pres
ident, has adopted the batteries. and
will be the first line in the country
to use them.

gressman:
"You all here in New York are very
provincial lot. You imagine that all
the civilization of the country'is crowd
ed into Manhattan island. This is not
the truth. We have all sorts of things
in Texas that the people of New York
suppose they have a corner on. We
have dress suits by the score. Plenty
of my constituents appear in evening
dress on occasion, and | believe most
other members of the Texas delegation
have q dress suit. I have no objection
to other people wearing a dress suit,
but 1 don't want to wear one myself,
md the only thing for me to do is to
stay away from all events where every
body appears in evening dress. Clothes
do not make u man. They do not have
anything to do with it. A man is a
power by himself. When he takes a
fashion plate for guide he ceases TO
be a power, He is ruled by his clothes.
