Still Another Charge.
John Scales, the Negro who was
shot by Chief of Police Love not long
ago, while resisting arrest, is in for
more trouble. Magistrate Anderson
wants him on the same charge on
which he is now awaiting trial-resist-
ing an officer. On the night of the
10Th of August Constable John Steele
attempted to arrest Scales near Tirzah,
on warrant charging him with house.
breaking and larceny. The prosecu-
tor was Negro of the Tirzah neigh
borhood. Scales refused to be arrested,
and after a struggle, carried off Consta-
BILE Steele's revolver. He tried to shoot
the constable; but did not know how
to operate the pistol. In the struggle
for the weapon, Constable Steele's
hand was badly lacerated and he had
to carry it in a sling for several weeks.
Magistrate Anderson went down to
the Jail on Wednesday to see whether
or not Scales was the same man. The
Negro made no effort at denial but
admitted that the revolver with which
he shot at Chief of Police Love was
the one he had taken away from Con-
stable Steele.

An Undesirable Honor.

Interest has been manifested in the
statement that the Chinese Minister
at Washington, Won Ting Fang, will
probably be recalled to China to join
the Tsung- Li-Yamen. Newspaper read
ers are often unable to understand the
meaning of the Tsung-Li-Yamen IN
China. The members of this body ap-
parently have much to do with the
government, and it is often referred
to in connection with Chinese compli-
cations. The Tsung- Li-Yamen is a
body analogous to the Presidents
Cabinet, deriving it's powers from the
Emperor and subjected to his whims
and notions. If the members blunder
they may be deprived of rank, ban
ished, or decapitated, and in this re-
spect, of course, the analogy cases.

The Poor Teeth of the Young.

A rapid tendency to decay, hitherto,
unknown in extent, is taking place in
the teeth of the children and youth OF
the present generation. That the dis
ease is assuming alarming proportions
is painfully evident. A few years ago.
a school committee was appointed by
the British Dental Association to ac-
quire more knowledge of the condl-
ton of children's teeth at various ages.
OF the children of a large number of
parochial, industrial and other schools.
over 10000 mouths were examined,
and the condition of each tooth was
marked upon a chart. Less than hf-
teen per cent of such boys and girls
of an average Of twelve years did not
require some treatment for decayed,
teeth. The very large majority, there
fore, of over So per cent. demanded
skilled attention.-Ni Nineteenth Century

An Ancient House Destroyed.

During a heavy storm, lightning
struck the residence of Judge G. w.
Carter, of Preston, near Norwich, and
it was burned to the ground.
The house was built in 1862 and was
the oldest dwelling in Preston and
bne of the oldest in Connecticut. 1t
was built as home for the herdsman
of several of the early settlers of Nor
wich and finally passed into the pos
session of the Planners, from whom it
descended to Judge Carter. The house
was very substantially built, having
an oak frame and floors, and has had
five additions made to it. The dining
room was finished in seven kinds OF
lard wood. Judge and Mrs. Carter

And the Fiddle Came Back.

James Dillingworth, Cincinnatt
man, had an experience in a Chicago
violin shop that might happen once in
100000 times. Mr.. DillingwOrth
came over from Cincinnati with his
daughter, who is somewhat skilled
yiolinist. On the road the daughters
pet violin got smashed in trunk. It
was a medium good instrument. Mr..
Dillingworth paid $75 for it in a Lon
don shop and had given it to his
daughter. He took it to a State street
store to have it repaired. The next
day he went back to get it.
1--WE haven't finished the repair yet"
said the clerk. You see we had to.
take the violin apart" he explained,
exhibiting the pieces.
Mr.. Dillingworth was astonished to
catch sight Of his name on the under
side of the top piece. He examined it
more closely.
''This is violin made fifty years
ago." he gasped, more surprised than
he had ever been in his life.-
Half century ago Mr.. Dillingworths
made the violin just as an experiment,
and because he had knack for using
cabinet tools. He afterwards sold the
violin to friend for $3.50. The friend
sold the instrument to man who was
just starting for Australia. Dilling-
worth bought his own fiddle back at
a London violin shop for $75.-Chicago

Finaneier's Review.

New York, June 1.-THE Financier
says: The bank statement for the week
ending June II is logical, if the fact that
the previous exhibit did not show the
result of current operations is taken into
account. The loss of nearly seven mill
ions of cash, for instance, cannot be
Laced to the business of the past week,
especially since the latter exports of gold
figure in the totals only slightly. But as
the former weeks losses were not shown
at the time, the averages are about cor
rect.
The difficulty in understanding the week
ly statement lies in the fact that the sys-
tenn of computation employed tends to
exaggerate real conditions. The feature
OF the current statement is the remark
able expansion of s15.902600 in loans, a
sum very much larger than anticipated.
There has been, it is true. some revival
in stock exchange activity but not enough
to warrant a violent increase such as is
shown in the loan account.
Probably a portion of the previous
weeks business has been carried into
the present statement. Following the ex-
pansion of nearly S1l,0oo,0o0 for the week
ending June l. the total loan increase OF
$2o,0G0,0 600 and over in two weeks, makes
plain why reserves are decreasing as the
gold shipped to Europe has not affected
the totals to the extent described. The
deposit expansion of s9,9S3.40o has in
creased reserve requirements about two
and one-half millions, and this added to
the loss of Sc So5. 800 in specie, decreases the
reserve by So, 319 900, making reduction in
the last two weeks in this item of over
$4,000, 900. Still. as the present reserve
is very much above the average, the cur
rent decrease is not overwhelmingly i'm
portant The interest centers in the
f,,rfA h. ID
tiles of the bankers are to be expanded
and whether the operations now at work
will have the effect of raising money
rates. The latter possibility is by no
means uncertain. Its influence will be
to put a stop to gold exports.

TITLE OF THIRD NAPOLEON.
Story of How the Little Emperor Got His
Appellation.

From the London Post.
Whatever may be the immediate chances
of Bonapartist restoration in France,
there is no doubt that the present rep
resentative of the Napoleons is taking
the situation seriously. Il is even report
ed that a proclamation to the French
people, signed Napoleon w." is in PRINT,
ready to be posted in Paris at the psycho1-
ogical moment and the very name sug-
gests strange recollections, especially on
the 26th anniversary of the death of Ma
poleon Ill There has always been some
mystery as to why that particular Ma
poleon was called "the third for Il was
by the merest fiction that the pu; de
Reiehstadt. son of the great Bonaparte.
can be considered to have regned. The
traditional story of how the numeral first
came to be thought of was originally re-
lated. within a month after Louis Ma
poleon had become emperor, by Lord
Cowley our ambassador in Paris, to Lord
Malmesbury, our foreign secretary. 1t
was that the prefect of Bourges where
the prince president slept the first night
of his progress in provincial France in
the autumn of 1882 had given instructions
| that the people were to shout 'Vive Ma
roleon.' but he wrote "Vive Napoleon!.!'
and the crowd took the three marks of
exclamation as the Roman mineral Ill
and shouted accordingly.

| sary order to the project.

Napoleon and few 'Eive l'empercur.
On his return there viii be d unanimous
chorus Of 'Vive TeUpereGre and 'NiFe
Napoleon N.Y." Persigay admitted in
his Memoirs" indeed, that when it
served him he was an INSCRIPTIONS liar
and 1t is far easier to believe the story
told by Lord Cowley.
In view of the possibility of the arrival
of Napoleon W" and especially if, as
is limited with the sympathy of the Rus
sian court. it is striking to recall that the
French official opinion OF 1852 was that
Russia was attempting to persuade Great
Britain to object to the mineral in order
to SOW dissension between the two West
ern nations But there was more sub
stantial reason for the annoyance felt by
the British government at the assumption
of the numeral, in which was thought to
Turk threat of revenge for Waterloo,
and which was not removed until Louis
Napoleon himself. after some heated ne
gotiations consented to insert in his
speech to the great bodies of the state at
ST Cloud on December /, 1852, accepting
the imperial crown, the following explain
atory para graph:
Il take from this day with the crowfH

compared with yesterday of 77ae, advanc-

following yesterdays decline here came
as a surprise to traders, and was taken
to indicate that the conservative market
was at last responding to the Russian crop
reports. Realizing soon carried it back

Bad management keeps more people

A prudent and careful man will keep
