10000 Words On Postal Card.

Philadel phia Record.
Ria Kittridge, aged eighty-six
years, of Belfast, has just succeeded in
writing 46 900 words on an ordinary
postal card.
Mr.. Kittridge's love for the practice
of miniature chirography commenced
in his early life: twelve or fifteen years
ago postal card was received by one
of the local papers, on which some one
had written 600 words and defied its
duplicate.
This was when Mr.. Kittridge COM
menced to diminish the size OF his writ
ing. He put 200 words on a postal
card and gave it to the paper, but this
was beaten, and he wrote another with
5000 words.
This record stood unbeaten, but he
continued to crowd more and more
words into the smallest possible space,
5000, 10000, 10000; all these marks
were passed, until his very finest work
equal to 10000 words, GA our postal
card of today was accomplished. This
would be equal to putting all the words

Evils of COACHING.

old aouaintances and preach q sermon
to his ola psrishioners, says the Buff

tanned by such OF his friends as could
get hold OF him, and after q quiet little
dinner at q pleasant home the other
evening he sat for awhile on the porch
snd, as ministers among old friends Of
ten do, told story or two, and the one
which l will attempt to relate as he
told IL concerns one of his sons, who
has been pastor of q church in Pitts

and who has many dear friends him

the father, she told me that he was
going to try to build up his church,
the members of which were largely
working people, by attending sssiduous-
ly to his pastoral duties aside from his
regular work in the church. He even
went so far as to announce from the
pulpit that u certain day in the week
would find him in such and such
neigh borhood, and that the people in
that section OF the town might expect
pastoral call from him.
This sort of things WAS q decided
innovation, and created more or less

parishioners. In the locality he de-
signRted for his calls on a certain day

The ad- ministration's stand on Hawaiian annex ation is criticized and an able article gIves some well-founded objecuons to the ideas of the annexationists. The Zola incident in France is also thoroughly discussed and the high class of reading in The Wasp is particularly noticeable.

VICTIMS OF
 4 SWINDLER Ida Pelton, a Prepossess- ing Domestic, Again
 in Prison.
Charged With Stealing Money From Mrs. Butler of
 Folsom Street.
She Has Also Been Victinnizinq a Large Number of Storekeepers
 in the City.

| A young woman who Is looked upon by the police as one of the cleverest confidence operators in the city was booked at the City Prison yesterday by Detective Cody on a charge of grand larceny. She has been known as Ida Pelton, Sarah Dixon and Genevieve Lynhan.
 Some months ago she was employed in the house of Daniel O'Day, on Four teenth street, between Sanchez and Church, and left suddenly, taking with her $2S0. O'Day notified the police and she was arrested. She was held to an- swer before the Superior Court but by some means or other the case was dis missed.
 Since then she has been victimiZing number of storekeepers, who have been complaining to the police. Her mode of operation was to ascertain the names of some of the customers, and then go to the stores and repre- sent that she had been sent by one of them to purchase certain articles, which would be handed. to her. When the account was sent to the customer the fraud was discovered. Among the stores victimized were the White House, Newman & LevinSon and RoS- enthal Brothers.
 The charge on which she has been booked is for stealing $167 50 from the residence of Mrs. Butler, 256S Folsom street. She went there as a domestic on January 2. Mrs. Buffers nephew, Thomas Lappin, marine engineer, lives with her. Last Saturday he drew his salary, and, including Mrs. Buffers own money there was $167 50 in the house.
 Mrs. Butler had occasion to go down town Monday, and when she returned her domestic had disappeared, taking with her the $167 50 and her personal effects. Mrs. Butler and her nephew called at police headquarters Monday night, and reported the case. Detec- tive Cody was detailed to find Ida, and he soon ascertained that she was liv- ing on Mission street, near Seventh. He arrested her, and on being searched, $93 35 was found in her pocket tied up in a handkerchief. She acknowledged taking the money. and said she had spent the balance in buying dresses and other articles.
 Ida is "A years of age and prepos- sessing in appearance. She has stolen money and jewelry from other people besides O'Day and Mrs. Butler in the same way, and the police are deter mined that she shall not escape punish ment this time.

ANOTHER TEST
 OF CAR.FENDERS
Will Take Place This Morninq at Mission and Twelfth
 Streets.
This Time It Is Expected That Some Pattern Will Be
 Adopted.

To-day at o'clock there will be more tests of lenders for the purpose of deciding upon an appliance for the cars of the Market street system The tests will not be in the nature of a vaudeville show, as some former exhibitions have been. There Is serious purpose this time. The trials will occur at Mission and Twelfth streets in the presence of the Supervisors and such citizens as may choose to look on. There is no doubt but a fender. will be recommended to the Supervisors and that they will authorize the adoption of the pattern favored by the company.
 All this Is simple and could as well have been done long ago. That it has not been done and that there should have been so much fuss about 1t and so many needless course there will be some expense, but only comparative trif1e. The Market street system will be obliged to equip 260 cars, and the cost for each will be about to this will be the $40OO required to induce the adoption, making grand total of less than $14,000 really an inconsiderable item for concern of its magnitude.
 In the past there have been trials with out number, but some of them were de- signed to do nothing but demonstrate the inutility of whatever fender was being tried In instances the dummy used to take the place of the prostrate citizen supposed to be snatched from death or maiming was filled with cobblestones. The result was that the fender went to smash, as had been expected, and until somebody with the interest of a fender enough at heart to pay the price of off, cial approval should appear 1t was safe proposition that dummies would continue to be indestructible and the experimental fender to have it's nose broken.
 But despite the fruitless tests which have marked the past and strewn Mission street with debris. it is believed that those of to-day will be final and that the Market street system will cheerfully pay the price.
