A JOKE ON THE POLICEMAN.
How a French Policeman Got Reinforce
ments to Capture Supposed Thief.

How French Policeman Got Reinforce
ments to Capture Supposed Thief
Mile. Jeanne Graa!er, the well known
French actress, once met with an
amusing adventure. 1t happened as
Marseilles. In one Of the little pieces
she plays by herself she has for access
sorry the lay figure of a man, skilfully
articulated and dressed in travelling
suit, with which she dances. The
figure during her voyage was enveloped
in a tight fitting covering.
On reaching Marseilles it was left in
the luggage room with other things.
The curiosity of two railway employees
being aroused at the sight of it,, they
took off the covering and resolved to
play a joke on their comrades. They
placed the figure in an arm chair at the
desk of the cashier and shut the door.
When the employees on night service
came they opened the door and were
surprised to see a man sitting down
before the cash box. They Immediate
ly closed and locked the door and ran
for assistance.
hand, believing, like the employees,
that he had to deal with a dangerous
thief. He called on the figure to sur
render and follow him to the sta
ton. AS it did not obey the summons,
the policemen shut the door and went
in search of reinforcements to sur
round the place, and thereby to prevent
the culprit from escaping. The door
was again opened, the armed force
entered and it was not until they had
suddenly pounced on the poor lay rob-
Der that they discovered the. joke.
new Werus Tor Our Vocabulary.
One minor result of the Cuban in
surrection and our war with Spain is
the accretion of several new words to
our vocabulary. "Incommunicado" Is
already acclimated and is frequently
used in the newspapers in accounts of
arrests for crime. "Reconcentrado" is
a term of more special meaning that
can scarcely be introduced into our
daily speech in an extended signifl-
canoe. 1t has almost the hfexibility
of proper noun substantive. Dupuy
de Lome's use of the term "politicas-
tro" in his notorious letter has recalled
the fact that in the English language
there Is already a similar word, ''politi-
caster" which Milton found service
able to describe petty politician, just
as we use "poetaster" to describe an
inferior versifier. Doubtless when our
army comes back from Cuba they will
bring with them many words which
will gradually be adopted into our
vocabulary.

Mysterious Theft of One of the Most Dam
gerous Compounds Known.
New Haven, Sept. 21.-The officials
of the Winchester Repoat'g Arms COM
pany an dthe police Of the city are in
a state of mind. They fear some mys-
FERROUS explosion. The reason for this
uneasiness dates back to last Wednes-
day night, when thieves entered the
shops of the Winchester Company and
carried away forty pounds of primer.
1t is difficult to understand how the
thieves could have accomplished their
work undiscovered The night shift
quit work at . o'clock in the morning
and the shops were quiet until s
o'clock, with the exception of the
hourly visits of the watchmen. When
the day shift came the loss of the
primer became known at once, and the
report of the theft caused great con-
sternatiQp at the office. The officials
of the company could not believe at
first that any one would be so fool
hardy as to commit such a dangerous
depreciation.

The bridesmaids hats have become
as important part of a wedding as
the veil of the bride herself. They
have to be chosen with infinite care,
so that the shape and colors will be
becoming to all the maids, each of
whom may be of a different type of
beauty.
The bridesmaids at one of the we'd
dings will wear hats copied from an
illustration in Pride and Prejudice"
They have wide brims of white chip,
lined with pale blue satin, with just a
band of blue velvet round the crown
and a small bow and two erect white
tips in front.
The hat Of the maid OF honor is
equally quaint and even prettier. It is
a big, graceful white chip, with low,
broad crown and wide brim. The brim
is faced with pale blue chiffon; green
rose leaves are massed in front and in
the back Is a thick wreath of roses
shading fron pink to deep crimson.
