ROBBED OF HIS CASH.
Aged CoIored Man the Victim of Con-
6dence Men.

Edward Devine and Isaac Brown, col
ored, we're arrested this morning by De-
tectiye Hewlett or suspicion OF having
worked a confidence game on Willis Will
Jams, also colored. Williams, who Is about
seventy years old, has lived at Brookiand
during recent years. He saved MS money
and two days before Christmas he started
to South Carolina, hoping the mild climate
would benefit his health. When he reached
the Baltimore and Potomac depot and
had checked his trunks, he was accosted
by a colored man who inquired if he drew
pension. He answered in the negative and
was greatly pleased when informed of how
easily he could get a quarterly allowance
from Uncle Sam.
Come On with me- said the stranger,
land I'll register YOU"
The old man started off TO register, and
when he reached Judiciary Square another
colored man Joined them. This man had
two small brass locks. one of which worked
by a spring. The other lock was minus
such contrivance. When the. spring lock
had been opened several times Williams
was told that he could not open it. The
man who had the lock went so far as to
bet him $40 that he could not open it in
ten minutes.

UNAVOIDABLE REPORT.
COmmi ssiOners' Action on Bill for
Extension of an Avenue.

1t Is understood the District Commission
ers will recommend unfavorable action on
House bill 2545 providing for the extension
of New Hampshire avenue. This proposed
measure. it would seem, refers to the same
extension as that authorized by an act
passed during the last session of Congress.
and the Commissioners have been informed
that there is nothing in the new bill pro-
viding for repeal Of 7theaone which last
session became a law they are. therefore,
of the opinion that the passage of bill 2545
would very much cotfplicate matters, as
the opening of New Hampshire avenue has
been begun in legal-way,-and 1t Is quite
probable that the proceedings will have
been concluded by the time the new bill
would become law. No.prdvision is made
in the new measure for the assessment of
benefits, as it provideszshatI one-half Of the
damages is to be paidby2t the District and
one-half by the United States.

An habitual liar is probably one of
the greatest nuisances that any COM
munity is called upon to endure. He
not only sets the tongues of gossips
wagging against respectable men and
women, but he makes enemies of friends,
causes disturbances, and breaks up the
peace generally. A liar has been known
TO sever the strongest bands of friend
ship, to wrong the most innocent men,
and even to step into the homes of hap
py families, plant seed of discord, and

Live and Dead Town.

The Pennsylvania Record, a monthly
published at Altoona in the interests
of real estate business, has this to say
upon the above subject; "Some com
munities progress, while others either
stand still or retrograde. Sometimes
this is due to the people themselves.
A town will never grow unless the peo.
pie in it care something for success.
II each cares only for the individual
prosperity, the town is destined to be.
come dead. If the live towns are in.
vestigated, they are found to be towns
in which the people have an interest in
each other. They help along public
enterprises both by good will and
money. The dead towns are those il
which the people want an indemnifying
bond guaranteeing profit Of no less
than ten per cent before they will make
an Investment"
