cause 1AE 1 C1L COIIl 1 LII Atp
 George Crusoe, colored, was the villain in a story of an attempt To steal child yesterday, and that was what caused his presence in the city court this morning before Judge Peas ley charged with breach of the peace. Annie Gordon, mother of the child, testified that Crusoe called to the house and demanded several presents he had given her as wedding gifts. Among these were a mattress, flower vases, bed clothing and a few chairs All of these Crusoe was walking away with when Mrs Gordon saw him. She Obstructed his way and a struggle fol lowed Then Crusoe saw Mrs Gcrdon's baby, seven months old. He picked up the child and tried to make off with it.
 Its false" said Crusoe from the dock
 An thought my heart would break deed I did.' continued Mrs Gordon throwing very unchildlike goo-goo eyes at the dark face of the prisoner in the gloomy dock. s1 got him out the front door and locked the back door but he broke in the back door and tried to take the baby. He knocked me down.
 "'Tis false, all false said the face in the dock.
 Deed he did knock me down, and I. said to him that befoah he would take the child he would take me to pieces Yes sah, that's what said"
 False, all false said the face in the dock. ..Neyah said the like
 Deed he did. sah. An then he put down the child and said 1 was fool
 False sah, all false" said the face in tba docE Mrs Gordon said she lived in Seery Place.
 The name-sake of Defoe's hero was then allowed to tell his story, which devoid of accent and breaks was as follows:
 He has been cook at the Hub res taurant on Phoenix avenue and had made up his mind to move to Roxbury with his wife The Gordons had given him their child and he raised it and loved it. Some time ago he returned it at their request. Yesterday he call ed to see them and his old liking for the child returned. In the course of his conversation with the mother she called herself q fool for ever parting with her child. CrusOe did not think the. Gordons were treating the child properly for he said it looked hungry and thin. And he did not like to see 1t look in that condition.
 The case seemed to the court one of Aisapplied kindness and sentence was Aspended.
 Neil McGill came out of jail Tues da To-day he was sentenced to nil. Aty days for assaulting his wife, who lives at 34 East Main street. He took an appeal under a bond of S1O0.
 Daniel Corr was fined $5 and costs for fntoxicatiOn.

FIND GOLD NEAR THE POLE.
Sensational Discoveries Are Report-
ed by Old Miner in the Arctic
Regions.

Sensational reports of rich placer
discoveries in the arctic region made
to Capt. Francis futile, of the revenue
cutter Bear, by dying sailor have been
confirmed by T. w. Wyatt, manager
of the Cutter Bear Mining company,
organized by Tuttle. Wyatt wrote
from the arctic district, as it has been
named, in a letter dated January IS,
saying: There is no use disputing
we have struck it rich in the arctic.
One man has just brought in 25 pounds
of gold and am satisfied that we will
have no trouble next summer in get
ting all the money we want. Tomelson
says futile creek will average IS cents
per pan at bedrock and we have taken
out some pans that range as high as
$3.50 per pam The district is Is miles
above the head of Behring straits.
Tomelson is miner employed by a
company.

Lines Along Which 1t VIII BE Exc

lions.

A glance at the past development
OF the Niagara Falls Power company
indicates the lines along which it is
likely to grow in the future, says
Casters Magazine. AS the manufac-
turing arts advance, the element of
power becomes more and more i'm
portant, and cheap power, therefore,
more demanded. Electro-chemistry is
a new art and one which has great
possibilities ahead of it. The high
temperatures obtainable in electric
furnaces have opened up new field
to chemical synthesis, and it is likely
that many as yet undiscovered proc
esses, which will require large
amounts of electrical power for their
operation, will be brought to light.
The supply of power for electro
chemical purposes is especially de-
sirable in a water-power plant, where
large investment is necessary, for the
power used by these processes is
practically constant for "a hours of
the day, thus tending to reduce load
"peaks" on the total station output.
The economical distance to which
power can be transmitted extends
every year as the general demand for
power increases and methods of
handling high voltages improve, and
the electric equipment of steam rail-
way systems, witch is certain to
come in time, will open up further
field for the long-distance transmits
sion Of large amounts Of power from
. central plant

CANADIAN BISHOPS WALK.
The Good Man Travelled 1,5OO Miles
on SnOwshOes to Reach
Civilization.

Bishop Newman, of the diocese of
Moosonee, 1000 miles north of Winni-
peg and directly west of Hudson bay,
arrived in Toronto few days ago after
a trip on snow shoes of 1900 miles,
which occupied upward of four months,
reports the New York Sun.
Leaving his see house, log struc-
ture 15x20 feet, shortly before Christ
mas, the bishop and his party of In
dians started for Toronto, pulling
their sleds after them. They travelled
at the rate of 20 or 25 miles day,
often with the thermometer register
ing from 20 to 40 degrees below zero,
and sleeping at night in great skin
bags, made with the hair turned inside.
Sometimes they woke in the morning
to find themselves buried under many
feet of light snow.
The bishop and his little party ar
rived here in splendid health. He had
received no news from home since the
close of navigation last fall and only
few days ago on reaching the out
skirts of this province did he learn of
the death of Queen Victoria.
Bishop Newman came to this city
to make an appeal on behalf of his do
cese and it's work. Situated in an al
most barren country, peopled by few
thousand half-breeds, Esquimaux and
Indians, who subsist on hunting and
fishing, his people are badly in need of
assistance. In some years when the
product of the gun and the net give out,
the Indians have been reduced to eat
ing dog flesh.

TIE GUM CHEWING cow.
Owner Thought the Habit Had Worn
All Her Upper Teeth
OF.

A farmer in Knox county, Me-, has
been saying mean things about a Rock
land shipmaster, and Opinion reports
a few. Quoth the farmer: eff 1 had
a hired man that made such piece of
work as he did about that cow of his,
I'd send him off!
"Why, he bought cow of a man
down my way; good critter-nothin'
the matter with her. But it seems the
captains wife, one day, thought the
milk tasted funny, and suggested that
p'r'aps she'd been eatin' spruce
boughs; said the milk tasted like
spruce. And what does he do but go
out in the pasture to watch the COW,
to see what she did eat.
''The cow was lynn down, chewin'
her cud, and he went along and run
his finger in her mouth to see what she
was eatin'. Then he was mad. He put
rope on the cow, and started off with
her.
"'Where are you goin' with the
cow?' says a neighbor.
"'Goin' to take her back to the fell
Ter that sold her to me. He's cheated
me, and [ won't stand it!'
'The man wanted to know what was
the matter, and he went on to tell
about it. She wasn't eatin' boughs,
he says, she was chewing gum; that's
what's the matter with the milk and
makes it taste like spruce. And he
says, that amt all. She's so addicted
to the habit that she's worn all her
teeth out. She amt got an upper
tooth in her head. Back she goes,
quick!'
"Of course, the man told him that it
was all nonsense; that cows never had
no upper teeth. But he didn't believe
a word of it, and went on and had a
tarnal row with the man that sold him
the cow. Guess he was never satisfied
about it."
