Johnnie was sleeping i'm the alley near
Twenty-fourth street-a darby dreaming
in the sunshine-when several legions Of
spirits, good or otherwise. entered into
two companions who happened to appear
upon the scene all at once. The boys tied
his hands behind him, bound his legs, and.
satGrating his clothing with kerosene, set
fire TO him. Johnnie was dreaming of
polar SHOWS and North-pole expeditions,
when suddenly his thoughts went TO
land where they don't shovel snow
Johnnie woke with a yell Of 'hre" that
seemed to come from his boots, growing
in volume i'm its upward course.
The crowd which soon gathered about
him took enough time from viewing the
proceedings to extinguish the flames be-
fore the boy was very badly burned As
soon as he had gotten down 10 the normal
temperature, he made a break Tor the
First Station, where the ambulance, in

rare sweetness.
DAubigne sang in Faust with Calve,
at a matinee last week, it being the
first time he had taken so heavy role
as Faust His success was commented
mon by Madame CalYe and the New

mfration and She Took Them.

Hattie Manning, a colored girl Of about
Is years. was in the Police Court yester-
dav morning. charged with stealing two
set rings-one amethyst, the other

hand: they looked well, and that they
should be hers became the ruling pas

Mr.. George +. Wise represented the
defendant, while Justice John took care
Of the interests of the CommonN eaith.
The young man took oath that the
Jewels were his, and the detectives testi-
fed that they had taken them from the
prisoners possession.
When all the evidence was in, That

Wise rose TO the defence Of his client
who now stood with chin upon her breast,
and a touch Of shame upon her face.
MIR. Wise said that when he accepted

innocent. but now, in face Of such con-
elusive evidence, he must himself ac-
quiesce in her guilt
