A NOBLE HOBO.
An Austrian Count Who Is Writing a
History of Human Life-Lives
In the Best Hotels.

Rocco Dianovich, a count of royal
Austrian blood, according to his story,
who is known in every country of the
habitable globe as Tie Noble Hobo"
is in Pittsburgh on the last trip about
the world which has consumed IS years.
He says he is gathering facts for a
history of human life, and goes about
on foot to better obtain the data he re-
quires. lie says he will publish his
book in New York, and return to Aus
tria. where his mother and brother still
live. Count Dianovich will remain in
Pittsburgh three weeks visiting edu-
cational institutions, says the News OF
that city.
The noble hobo" always walks,
though that ends his resemblance to
the genus hobo" He lives at the best
hotels and always has plenty of money.
He began his wanderings in search of
the facts of ordinary life in 1863. and in
that time has been over the whole globe
several times. During the ten years
war in Cuba he served an enlistment
in the United States navy, serving on
the Congress, under Lieut.. William L.
Sampson, now rear admiral, shortly
after the Virginius affair. He will
visit Cuba shortly to secure the facts
of existing conditions there and will
then go to Madrid for the Spanish side
of the case.

WEDDING GUESTS.

each invitation to an out-of-town
wedding q few weeks ago contained a
card providing the guest with railway
fare from New York to the country
house where the ceremony took place."
remarks an up-to-date writer in the
New York Sun. after the invitations
had been issued, however, the hostess
discovered that this card failed to in
clude the three-cent ferry fare from
New York to Long Island City, so on
the day of the wedding number OF
small boys were stationed on this side
of the ferry with the object of way
laying wedding guests and relieving
them of the necessity of paying fare
One man, who, like the other guests
was ignorant of the situation, was
somewhat taken aback when an urchin
suddenly accosted him with Wedding
guest? | thought so. Well, come along
with me- and I'll pay the fare But,
gasped the guest, gazing long and
hard at this Ancient Mariner in juvenile
form, how did you know was going to
the wedding? Easy enough, was the
answer. Anybody kin tell de men by
der hats. but | tell We wot, it's tough
to pick out de wimmen wot's gong ;"

MOUSE NEST I'm HER COLLAR.
An Elderly Lady Passenger Causes
Excitement in Chicago
Street Car.

One mouse is generally enough to
stampede an assomblage OF women,
and the commotion attendant upon
the appearance of two or three TO-
dents is, CT course, increased ia pro-
portion, says the Chicago Chronicle.
1t does not matter ihat The nice lay
be young, as was shown in street
car during one of the recent cool aft
ernoons. One Of the passengers WAS
an elderly woman who were an old
fashioned fur cape with an immense
hearskin collar. Evidently the cape
had just been taken from d chest con-
tanning moth balls. for TIE oder CT
these prevcntiyes was powerful. The
car was crowded principally by wom-
en-. SO the elderly passenger was COM
PEELED to stand. and as the car joited
or swung around a corner she swayed
hanging TO the strap, sprink.ing the
glistenirg particles Of insect destroyer
on all who were near. ~ length tie
ear gave a particularly bad lureh and
something fell from the cape into the
zap of a lady near by. This something
proved upon close inspection TO &c
a tiny mouse. Following closely came
several more. dist ributed with re-
markable fairness on the nearby pas
sengers. 1t didn't take over half
minute for every woman in that ear
to grab her skirts and get on the
seats, the overflow taking refuge on
the platforms. Their screams attract
ed the conductor. who came in and
threw the little mice out on the street
Meanwhile the innocent cause of all
this trouble calmly unfastened her
cape and shook out the remains of
a nest, which had been snugly built
by some motherly mouse in the long
fur. The owner of the cape then seat
I'd herself as calmly as you please and
the other women finally subsidized.
