Suffice It TO say, a reporter called to get
saught of a public nature. His rap at tho
door brought a gentleman whose coun-
itcnancc expressed pain at being dis
,turbcd by an apparent intcrloper, and
he was very careful that the person on
the outside should not get too free
range OF the sacred interior. The rcpor-
ter stated his mission, TO which the
man at the door returned a benIgnant
smile. as much as TO say. Wouldn't
YOU like TO know?" then drawing the
door 10 and psovokinSly grlaning as he
closed It. The scribe knew his business.
though some people say he has none on
earth. and by devious ways. known only
TO the fraternity, secured the intorma-
'tiOa desired. In the list OF names pub
'llshcd OF those attending the affair he
took care to omit the name OF the
knight OF the marble heart. A little
thing It's true, but the reporter knew
Ills man. And the man now scowls as
they pass by, And the scribe grins. b
There are many hlll-tops for a young
man 10 climb. while on his road to So
clety, Who hasn't heard OF his mental
and EXPLANATORY asonies the first time,
he tries on full dress suit? And he
falls down on several occasions In his
innocence OF social customs and exac-
lions. more often TO his own mort!fica-
ton than TO the amusing comment OF
others. Everybody has to go through
the mill. though. aud he gets his enjoy
ment out OF the next initiate. This Is the
argument OF a young man who first en-
joyed course, dinner the other evening.
II was a stag" affair and he piled his
knife and fork vigorously upou the re-
cclpt OF the Writers first deposit. He
attacked this the first course to a finish,
and at the conclusion OF his efforts
folded his napkin, and laid back in his
chair, oblirious to all worldly cares.
Greatly surprised, lie was aroused from
his -everic to see the waiter with, an
other tray by his side, and the vision of
tempting delicacics caused the youth to
exclaim in iadignatlon: 81
Great Scott. Why didn't you tell
me you were going to bring more?
Here I've gone and filled UP on bread,
and now cant eat any morc!" And he
was forced to sit in envy, watching the
othe: guests dcvour one course after
another.
"A neat scheme for deiraudIns the
unwary in this city has just
come to light. The raw material in
the case, were co!ored people. and the
artist is as yet unknown TO criminal
fame. The nnodus operandi consisted in
getting blank bill of lading used In
freight Offices, and then filling
It out With a list OF sundry articles, af-
the artist forged the'name OF
his victim, presenting 1t to the colored
man at his home. The latter was. OF
course, surprised at anybody sending
him goods, but as the stranger told him
all that would be necessary to secure
the goods and have them delivered to
his homo, was the payment Of the
freight charges. the co!o-ed man forked
over the stipulated sum TO the bogus
agent, and Is yet awaiting the
arrival OF; the promised goods. The
scheme worked to perfection In at least
three cases, IN which the aon-existablc
goods were alleged to be laying at the
Pan Handle depot.
4 Rev. Anna III. Shaw. who Is here in
attendance as the woman's suffrage
meetings, yesterday afternoon related
Q. peculiar incident, in Illustration OF,
law once in existence In Massachusetts.
which. prevented widow from being
Inferred Isl the cemetery lot owned by
her deceased spouse. Between the wid-
ow and her daugbteT-in-law there had
been n kind of feud, which resulted In
tho young woman's securing an injunc-
ton, restraining the interment OF her
in the family vault, and
the injunctionswa sustained, according
to the law which read that the widow

bands estate. while she lived, therefore
was not entitled 70 any of 1t after she
died. Consequently, at her death her in
terests in the cemetery lot became null
and void. Il would be parody on civil
lization not to state that the law was
then repealed.
