A CRUEL YOUNG MAN.

A fellow and his best girl were standing
on the corner of Market and Twelfth
streets. looking at the torn fragments of
a soda fountain that was on exhibition in
the drug store window.
What do you suppose caused it, Jim?'
she asked.
1T was full of soda water, and 1t just
naturally busted" he said.
But l didn't know soda water was dam
gerous." she replied.
Didn't he said, with an air of lofty
superiority Don't you know that man
takes his life in his own hands when he
walks around with a girl full of soda
water? Say. a fellow walking around on a
hot day with girl that's had two or three
glasses of soda water-say. he don't know
when she is goin' to blow up and fill him
full of corset steels."
She gazed in a sort of awe-struck way
at the dilapldated remains Of the fountain
and. heaving a sigh of relief, said; Well
Jim. you can bet one thing; that settles
me on the soda water question"
As they turned to so down street jim
audibly remarked TO himself: Now. If l
could only hear of an ice cream freezer

B0PPA WANTS TO FIGHT.
Anxious to Pierce the Body of Prince
Henri.

Paris, Aug. Lieutenant Boppa,
the only surviving officer of the Four
teenth battalion of General Delbar-
midas brigade of the unfortunate
Italian expedition against Abyssinia,
has challenged Prince Henri, in conse-
Quence of his structures upon the con-
duct of Italian soldiers in Africa.
This is the third challenge received
by the prince for the same cause. Gen
eral Abortion and Lieutenant Pima have
precedence over Lieutenant Boppa in
the matter.
General Delbar1hida was one of the
italian officers killed in the battles Of
Adowa when some 10000 Italian troops
under General -Barata were killed. Cen
Albertone also commanded brigade
in that engagement which was fought
in the latter part Of April, 1896, and
caused so much bitter feeling through
out, that for a time it was believed the
throne was in danger. Il is further
stated that King Humbert of Italy has
entrusted his eldest nephew, Prince
F'iliberso, Duke of Aosta and husband
OF the Princess Helene of Orleans,
daughter of the late Count of Paris,
with a mission to the Orleans family,
the object being to prevent the duel be-
tween Prince Henri of Orleans and
General AlbertOne.

Yet Harry Silberberg Has Had a
Great Career.

Little Rock. Ark, Aug. Harry
Silberberg, alias John W. Drayton, OF
Little Rock. who. according TO state
department advices from Washington
has just been released from a German
prison through the efforts OF the Amer
lean consul al Freiberg, and escorted
under guard out of Germany, is known

here, Silberberg has had remarkable
career. He is % years old and was
born in Memphis, Tenn. In his youth
ne moved to Fort Smith, Ark. Being
of a restless disposition, he moved from
Arkansas: arriving at his majority, he
went TO Morocco. There he was ar
rested in connection with a bank
swindle by a telegraph operator and
bogus telegram. His mother got him
out of the scrape. Silberberg was next
heard Of at Rochester, N. Y. He in
sratiated himself into the best society

cisco and had not been there long be-
fore, it is alleged, he committed q num-
Der of clever forgeries. He did not ap-
pear and had not been heard of here

VEHICLE TAX VOID.
Bicycle Owners Win Out In the
Windy City.

Chicago, Aug. Judge Tuley today
decided the new city ordinance estab-
fishing a vehicle tax to be void. The
ordinance permitted the city to collect
81 year license from each bicycle
owner and for other vehicles proper
tiOnately.
The ordinace was passed for the pur-
pose of raising a permanent street re-
pairing fund The new law aroused
much opposition, especially among the
Wheelmen. An injunction suit was
brought against the city and the en-
joining bill was sustained in Judge
Tuley's decision.
The court held that the city had no
right to license bicycles, but only an
occupation. and could not impose a
license upon specific property when not
used in business or in an occupation.
Counsel for the city took an appeal
and the case will be heard in higher
courts
