day a Fortune.
Not many years ago a famous whist
game was played at Sudbury, Vt, two
of the sitters in being General Double
day and Henry Dater of the well known
firm of Dater, Thompson & Co. 1t was
something like Or 10 cents a corner;
so you see it was easy for man to lose
as much as 81. 80 in an afternoon. Play
began after the Sudbury dinner hour,
half past 1, and lasted until teatime.
The old roosters became SO wrapped up
in the game that nothing short of an
earthquake could have disturbed them.
Brokers in New York could do nothing
to shake the interest.
The game was played at the time of
the historic Hannibal and st. Joe cor
ner, engineered by Kennedy, Hutchin-
son & Co., in the interest of their client,
John Duff of Boston. Doubleday was
selling the stock short through Van
Schaick & Co., and at quarter to 2 on
the eventful day he received a telegram
from his brokers advising him of the
situation. The game was stopped just
long enough for him to read it and lay
it aside. In 30 minutes a second dis
patch arrived, was read and cast aside.
Doubleday was winning at the rate of
35 cents an hour. What did he care
about Hannibal and st. Joe? Later in
the afternoon third summons came
from Van Schaick & Co., and at 5
o'clock a fourth. Then Doubleday arose
and remarked: Gentlemen, have en-
joyod the game. My winnings are ex

as it is necessary for me to take the first

the first telegram was sent he could
have settled for $50, 900, at the time of
the second for $50, coo, the third for
$75, 1000. He had ample warning, but
in the thick of the Sudbury game Of
whist he believed the rise was only a

SCOTCH SIMPLICITY.
The Mason, the Budding Architect
and a Conscience Stricken Lad.

The Mason, the Budding Architect
and a Conscience Stricken Lad.
The Scotch are fond of telling stories
which illustrate the peculiar simplicity
of mind of their country people. This
simplicity at least saves them from
wicked guile.
One Of these stories relates that an
honest mason once had contract to
build small house of stone He came
early and began from the inside to lay
the stone, working very fast. AT noon
his young son brought him his dinner,
peepinS over the wall as he handed the
basket to his father. With honest pride
in his eye, the mason looked over to the
boy.
"Weel, Jock, hoo dye think I'm
gettin on2' he asked.
"Ye're getting on famous, feyther, +"
answered Jock, looking at the solid
wall, in which there was no break
"But hoo dye get DOT ?"
The mason looked around. It was
true. He had provided the house with
no door at all, and he was on the inside
He looked kindly and very admiringly
at the boy.
mon, Jock, we've grand held on
yet" he exclaimed. "Ye'l be an archi-
tect yet, as sure as yer feythers a ma
sonp'
Another story shows how unsuccess-
full as a thief the rustic Scot may be.
Two young plowmen went into a gar
den at night to steal gooseberries. The
bushes surrounded a plot of potatoes,
and as one of the lads CROPPED about he
got handful of potato plums, which
he quickly put into his mouth. Then he
gasped to his comrade:
"Oh, Jock, I'm poisoned For ony
sake, shove me through the hedge again,
for waudna like to dee j. the auld
mans garden p'-Youth's Companion.
1t has been settled beyond doubt
that the identical lamp which Guy
Fawkes carried in poking about in the
cellar Of the houses of parliament, when
he intended to blow them up, is now in
existence. This lantern is in the Ash
mclean museum at Cambridge. Guy
Fawkes was carrying this lantern when
he was arrested. The history of the
lantern has now been fully established

this mode of getting notoriety.
The Academy has not as yet agreed

OPINIONS DIFFER AS
TO LYNN'S INSANITY
EFFORTS TO SHOW MOTIVE FOR
HIS CRIME.
His Mother-in-Law Says He Was

Notwithstanding Mrs. Martha Lynn tes
tilted at the trial of her husband that she
believed him insane on February l, 1893,
when he fred five bullets into her body,
Mrs. Mary A Thompson, her mother, and
other relatives hold decidedly contrary
opinions.
When the trial OF ]. w. Lynn was 1e-

Roth. sister of Mrs. Lynn, whose testi-
mony showed that the accused was ex-
trenely Jealous and that he frequently
quarreled over the most trivial matters
W. ]. Roth related a conversation that
had taken place between himself and
LINN on the Saturday subsequent to the
time the accused approached his wife in
San Francisco while she was in the com
pany of another man. Lynn, said the

titled that when he called at the Lynn
Lynn sitting in chair with MS revolver
in his hand when l asked why he had
committed this act" said the witness, he
told me that God had directed him to do
it, While Holland testified the accused
frequently wiped the tears from his eyes.
The defense then called Mrs. Thompson,
whose testimony proved quite the reverse
OF that given by her daughter, Mrs Lynn.
She said:
II never saw any signs of insanity in
Lynn before he shot my daughter. The
man may be eXcitable, but not insane. The
night before the shooting, at o'clock, ne
lie was insane
The defense had expected that the Dis
.trfct Attorney would move a dismissal.
but the prosecution is still confident thai
Lynns motive was prompted By his jeal-
ousy, and that ne feigned insanity. Still,
Lynn has twice been declared legally in
sane since the shooting.
The trial Will go on tomorrow morn
ing and will occupy the remainder of this
week al least.
