A PIPE sWINDLER

Burlington, May 25.-Gold brick
sellers always seem to find purchasers
In Burlington, and most any plausible
scheme to get a mans money In re-
turn for something marvelously valu.
able seems to dupe a certain number.
The latest is a valuable pipe"
scheme, and it might not inappropri-
ately be called q pipe dream.
the trick is like this. A man ap-
proaches you with a story Of how he
just came from the old country and is
broke, and wants to get to Buffalo the
worst way. All he has of value about
him is a meerschaum pipe with costly
amber m0uthpiece, which he would
sell. or course it is too much to ex.
pect that any one will be SO kind as to
give him anything approaching the
real value of the pipe, about s15, but
he will take most anything. The re-
suit is that he makes a sale, getting
81, 80 or "a for the pipe, according to
the purchasers pocketbook. The pipe
as a matter of fact is worth about so
cents, and. the fellow who is selling
them has his clothes full IF them. 1t
is understood that several OF them
were sold in the city yesterday.

half of the llocos prisoners, He told

Valuable Time wareu,

A Chicago lady who Is the wife Of a
wealthy and influential citizen had a
great deal Of trouble recently with her
lomestics. She had discharged her
cook and second girl and for a few
days was obliged to do her own cook

1t was on one of these mornings that
q peremptory knock sounded on the
kitchen door. She wiped her hands
on the apron and found at the door a
low browed, insolent looking man, with

wave of the hand. Madam surveyed

"Oh, you don't, ell? Well, now, trot
along. my dear, or I'll have you fred"
he returned, with a vicious glance.
Mrs. Blank was backing within. To
be so insulted on her own doorstep was
such a heinous crime that her resources
failed her. But in a moment she hit
upon a plan that would bring this
piece of insolence to abject humility.
Drawing her stately figure up to the
full and fixing on him a gaze of i'm
perious disdain, she said in measured,
frigid tones, II AN the lady Of the
house."
Did he quail? Oh, no!
"Are you" he rejolned quickly.
"Why didn't you say SO and not keep
me waiting all this time? l got some
soap here that you want, and"-
He was staring Mt the door while the

The German Servunts' ordeal.

The German S~eryuntS' OrOeal.
The young person who fills so i'm
portant a place in our domestic ar
rangements as housemaid, parlormaid
or 'sgeneral'' often enough takes q
pride in her appearance, which, though
entirely natural, is sometimes irrltat-
ing to the less reasonable type OF mis-
tress. What would she think if 1t
were necessary for her, as 1t apparent
" is in Germany, before taking a PLACE
as domestic servant to provide herself
with a special p%assbook in which a full
description Of her appearance must be
entered?
This description Of the German maid
servant Is entered by the police OF her
native district and is sometimes die
tated more by candor than chivalry'
The color of the eyes and hair and the
shane Of the nose are all duly chron'
icled, and If the constable is OF opin'
ion that any of these features are
"ugly' he has no hesitation in say
ing so.
What possibilities such a system
suggests! Imagine the young person
about to start a career as cook present
ing herself before the local constable

ARRESTED FoR DISCRETION.
III. e. Clark Alleged to Have Left His
Wife at Dublin,

Dublin, Ga, April 29.-Yesterday morn
ing II. f. Clark, who up to few weeks
ago conducted commission business in
Dublin, was brought here from Tennille
and lodged in Jail charged with the de-
sertion of his wife For several weeks
Clark has been absent from the city.
Saturday morning he returned but did not
go to his home until late in the after
noon, being on the streets most of the
day. Clark told his wife that he was now
travelling and would be in Dublin ever
Saturday. After staying at his home a
few minutes he told his wife that he
would go down to one of the stores and
send her some provisions. Instead of do
ing this he boarded the Wrightsville and
Tenniile train for Macon. As soon as his
wife learned of this she swore out a war;
rant against him charging Clark with de-
sertion. The Tennille authorities were
apprised of the warrant and succeeded
in arresting Clark and a woman just
as they were boarding the train at Ten
mile for Sandersvllle.
Clark and the woman were not locked
up at Tennilie, but were placed under
guard at one of the hotels. Just before
the night passenger train passed that
town the woman by the aid of the cloth
ing from the bed of the room in which she
was locked, let herself to the ground from
the second story and escaped.
Clark came to Dublin from New York
about two years ago and has been in the
fruit and vegetable commission business.
There are any number of claims against
him in the hands of Dublin lawyers for
goods sent to him ON consignment by Au-
gusta, Savannah, Atlanta and Florida
produce merchants. Clark's wife yester-
day furnished Chief of Police Peacock
with a dist of the firms that he has had
dealings with and they were notified that
he is now in jail. From the description of
the woman given Mrs. Clark she staes
that she knew her in New York and that
once before she come between her and her
husband. 1t il said that one of the
charges against Clark is that of using the
mails with intent to defraud.
Hon. c. l.. Holmes of Parish, Bulloch
county, was in the city a day or two ago
and states the work of grading the Brew
ton and Pineora extension from Register
to Ststesboro has been completed and
that now nothing remains to be done but
lay the iron, which he thinks will require
but two or three weeks. 1t is possible
that by the first of June trains over this
road will be running from Dublin to Sa-
Vannah

ried at Observation-Disclosures Mar

keeping with the beautiful Sabbath,
marriage was celebrated yesterday al
ternoon at the johnson Hotel. The con-
tracing parties were Mr.. Morgan Waters
and Miss stella Johnson, daughter OF Mr..
A. M. johnson, proprietor of the hotel.
The bridal march was opened by Miss

suited to the occasion. Miss Bessie

a large bouquet of flowers, followed by
the groom on the arm of his best man,
MIR. j. f. Fields. Miss Stella followed in
company with her father, who gave her
away at the alter. The parlor was crowd
ed with friends and relatives of the two
young people, and in the glow of lamps
the couple made a most beautiful and
composed pair. Rev. j. +. Mcmillan per-
formed the ceremony in an impressive
manner After the ceremony and con-
gratulations were over cake and wine and
lemonade were passed around to the
guests.
Mr. Waters has an important position
