DRUGGIST BUTLER IN COURT.
One Result of Monday Mornings
Episode at the Indiana House.

James A. Butler, of the firm Of Butler
Clarridge, druggists. at the corner OF
Third and d Streets northwest, was taken
into the Police Court yesterday by Drug
Inspector Proctor, charged with a viola
ton of the law governing the sale Of pois-
ons in the District. The warrant charging
the offence was issued from the Police
Court Tuesday evening and named both
proprietors OF the drug store as defend
ants Mr.. Butler asked for a continuance
when arraigned and was held in $500 bond
TO await further proceedings.
The issuing Of the warrant for the ar
rest Of Butler and Clarridge was the result
of an investigation by Inspector Proctor
into the circumstances attending the sale
of one-half Of an ounce Of Fowlers solu-
ton of arsenic which was afterwards
taken. it is said, with suicidal intent by
Mrs. Marie Howard and a male companion,
in the room Of the woman at the Indiana
House, early Monday morning. The police
Of the Sixth precinct ignored the matter
at the time, saying there was nothing in
the case. When the matter was later
called to the attention Of Major Sylvester
he demanded an immediate investigation.
with the result that the druggists were
served with a warrant.
The warrant charges that the defend
ants, on March ?. retailed one-half ounce
OF FOwler's solution OF arsenic without
causing to be made the proper entry stat
ing date Of purchase. name and address
Of purchaser, the name and quality OF the
poison sold, the purpose represented by
the purchaser, and the name of the dis
penser.

WRONG COAT TO WEAR.

That misuse of the dinner coat, or Tuxedo, as it is commonly called, caus- es me much pain" said young soci- ety man, yesterday, who is regarded as a leader in sartorial narters. "T'he coat was originally designed for stag affairs where evening dress was n5ces- sary or for purely informal occasions, such as a visit to the theatre IL be-
 came very popular, and I am now afraid it's very popularity will prove it's undoinS, at least among men who con form to the dictates of fashion. I at tended a wedding reception last weeS- it was a six o'clock wedding-and sev
 eral men present wore dinner coats with black ties. It was very bad form but not nearly so bad, as that affected by men who wear dinner coal $ with white ties, as though they were in reg ulation evening dress. You see lots of t'nese fellows in the cafes of the fashionable hotels every night, taking supper after the thsatre.

TRADING KIPL1NG's CHECK.
Country StJrekeepers Get More For
 Them Than Their Face Value.

''The last time I was north" said a I heard a Kipling story which l don't think has ever been printed. It was told me by a gentleman who used to have g. place in Vermont, not far from Kiping's old summer home, and who is at present assistant cashier in one of the big New York banks.
 He said that during the last year of Kipling's residence in Vermont he became alarmed at the growing expen- ses of the establishment and ecfded to keep strict eye on the output Ac- cordingly he opensd an account at a banl: in q nearby town-I forget TOW which and paid all ,he household bills with personal checks. Many of them were very small, ranging in amounts from fiftg cents to So, and the shrewd Yankee storekcepeIs sJJn discovered that they could get more for them from autograph fiends than they could from the paying teller. That was particu- larly the case when they attached duplicate memoranda of the account For instance, a bill against MT. Kip ling for five pounds of cheese, accom- panied by an autograph cheek for s1.25 was a souvenir that comaniel a fancy price.
 The consequence was that a number of cheeks never found Iheir way to the bank, and the author was greatly per pleXed. He would send in his book once 9 month to be balanced, and it would invariably come back, showing more to his credit than was indicated by the stubs.
 'Kipling was unable to account for the discrepancy, ani attributed it to his bad head fer figures, until one day. when visiting in Boston, he ran across small cheek given for a case of bot tled beer, framed and hanging in the Study Of collector. That exposed the nefa..ous traffic, and the creator of Mulvaney was speeches With wrath and indignation. The first thing he did when he got home was to burn his check book. and after that he insisted on paying all his bills in the coin of the realm.-New Orleans Times Dem Oprat.

AN INSTANCE OF NERVE
Presence of Mind Ret aimed Under
 Great Difficulties.

For a sample of unadulterated nsrve, that displayed by a travelling tourist mot a hobo. but a gentleman-over the Santa Fe Pacific, west of Seligman, last Friday, takes the bakery. The Williams News tells the story:
 The unfortunate man was beating his way east on the first section of No. ?, of which there were three sections. In trying to get from the engine to the blind" he lost his hold and fell be- tween the tender and the baggage car, but to one side of the track. The bag gage car passed over one of his limbs, cutting it off just above the ankle. Af- ter the limb was severed the force of the fall some way threw him down the embankment. In this pitiable plight he yet retained presence of mind enough to climb back up the embank ment to the track. The second section, which was closely following, coming along at this time, the unfortunate man stood on the remaining good leg and frantically signaned the approach ing train to stop
 The engineer saw his signals, but the third section was following very closely; he had presence of mind to realize that an entire train load of lives would be in great danger should dne stop the train. One of the brakemen alighIted as soon as the train slowed down" sufficiently to allow him to do so. He went back to the unfortunate man and signaled the third section. which stopped and picked them up. The limb was attended to most intel ligently by the trainmen and the wounded man taken on into Seligman, where the wound was dressed by Dr. Tyroler, the company surgeon of that place. The surgeon states that the fortitude of the young man was re- markable, as he would take no anes- thetic and had to be compelled before he would take any liquor as a stimu-
