After the American Fashion,.

Translated from the Paris lie AIatn.
March Is, 1900.
Yesterday evening an American gentle
man, Captain Crossley Of the navy, was
sitting in front of the Cafe Tortoni, in the
exposition grounds, talking to Captain Del
acroix and NJ. Duval, the superintendent
of Belgian exhibits, when a stranger, poor
ly dressed, a laborer, evidently, approach
ed. looked long and steadily at NJ. Cross
ley, then spoke to him in English. The
captain. evidently affronted by the
strangers impertinence, beckoned to
gendarme, who was passing on the oppo-
site side of the walk, but at that moment
the stranger pulled a pistol and fired
within foot of the captains breast! The
latter fell forward on the table, but in his
expiring moment drew his pistol and fired
twice at his assailant. The murderer
staggered backward into the gendarme's
arms. No assistance could be rendered
to the captain; he was dead before the am
bulance arrived. The other died on the way
to the Exposition Hospital. Nothing
Is known of the murderer except that he Is

Nc reason nor motive can be devised

be said Of the American game preserve
that it has arrived, for beginnings have
been made in several quarters on preten-
tious estates that promise in time to rival
or excel the great game reservations of

that seems likely to supplant horse racing

Cupolas Made Of Paper.

rTcm the Philadelphia Record.
Paper cupolas for building are remark
able for their lightness. A cupola of thar
kind consists of from twenty-four to thirty
separate pieces. and Is produced over a
wooden model by pasting huge rolls of SUIT
able paper one over the other. Every
separate piece runs from the base to the
top OF the hemfspherical roof of the cupola
and thus forms a vault-like strip which is
broad at the bottom and narrow at the
top.
For the production Of these separat.
parts of the cupola roll paper of very good
quality is used, which is first cut into the
requisite length and breadth, then mois-
tened and stretched over the wooden model
Upon the first strip is pasted another, also
moistened. over this q third, and SO on

Arctic Game.

The rabbit supply is now reinforced by

from Australia, and the price Of home
bred rabbits has fallen in consequence In
spite Of the murderous destruction Of sub
arctic game. the regions from which 1t

catching 1t. for freezing 1t and transport
ing It by sledse so great, that We may ex-
pect the supply to be larger each year

Paris Edition Of the New York Hernh.

Paris, 18th March, 1900
1.-The double killing of day before yester-
day. upon the exposition grounds, is still
shrouded In some mystery, but the Herald
has cleared away a part of 1t. The actors
are known. although the motives leading
to the end have not as yet been fathomed.
There is no Captain Crossley on the navy
lists. The man was known last year in
New York as Mr.. Stewart-Bemis of Lon
don, and was heavily interested in stocks
and mining, had plenty Of money and de-
1randed no one, but for some good or bad
reason was sailing under false colors and
many aliases. His murderer was
known as Bert Holloway, a herder. He
came over in charge of some cattle for
henderson Co OF Wyoming and was an
escaped convict from the United States
prison at Tacoma. where he was serving
out ten-year sentence for participation in
piracy. He was one Of the crew of the tug
ratnnnder. 1t Is barely possible
that the tragedy Is but a sequel to that
drama. >"

Originated fn Typographical Errors.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The old proof reader was holding forth
upon the question Of typographical errors
and their occasional influence on postcrity.
The word 'hoodlum' is an instance OF
this he said, as he knocked the ashes out
OF his pipe ''Out In San Francisco twenty
five years ago there was a notorious char
acter named Muldoon, who was the leader
of gang Of young ruffians. They were a
terror to the community, and about as
tough a lot Of citizens as you could find on
the coast. A reporter who had been assign
ed to a story In which they had figured,
undertook to coin a word designating the
gang. He reversed the name of the leader
and referred to them as 'Noodlums.' The
compositor mistook the n for an h, and as
hoodlums the word passed the proof reader.
Ard now 'hoodlum is a recognized word,
and will probably survive. Another in
stance which I recall shows how even an
actress may accept as inevitable the error
Of a compositor. You may not know that
Ada Rehan's real name is Ada Crehan. but
such IL the case. On the occasion of her
first appearance in a speaking part. when
she was accorded the dignity of having her
name on the play bill, the printer divided
1t up as Ada c. Rehan, and as Ada Rehan
she has ever since been known.
