the former being struck in the face by

examining Sha1er,. Bracken and McCrath
the men under arrest, when a policeman
entered and, under the coroner's instruc-
tions, demanded that the prisoners ap-
pear before that official Mr.. Jerome al
lowed them to go, but he and his as
sistants followed. The district attorney
told the coroner that there was no in
formation in the patrolman's affidavit on
which to hold anybody and there was a
wordy wrangle between the two officials.
In spite of protests the coroner gave the
case to the jury who returned a verdict
recommending the discharge Of the pris-
oners.
The coroner then opened court as a
sitting magistrate, had the men rear
rested and held them without bail More
protests came from Mr.. Jerome and the
coroner changed his decision, holding the
men in $4,000 each.
All this had worked up the feelings
OF everybody 80 much that there was a
free fight Mr.. Jerome received a blow
IN the face from a coroners clerk. $50
in turn was beaten by two of the dis
trict attorneys detectives. Then the de-
tect1ves and the clerk had each other
arrested, but soon better counsel pre-
vailed and all charges were withdrawn

A MAD BUT WISER MAN.

An amusing story is being told Of
Boston woman who lost beautiful seal
garment which her indulgent husband
haG purchased for her in Montreal for a
Christmas present. AS the story is told
the coat was being brought to Boston in
large travelling bag, carried by the pur-
chaser. AS he approached the Canadian
American bOrder.he began to have doubts
as to whether or not he could persuade
the customs officials to pass the garment,
SO he cast about him for some means by
which he could eVade the payment of the
governments dues. A short distance from
his seat in the car was a well dressed
woman, who appeared to be alone. The
man went to her, and explaining his
predicament, asked her if she would be
Wiling to wear the coat as her own gar
ment over the line" The woman agreed
and the danger line was crossed in safety.
As the train approached the Massa-
cbUsetts line the purchaser Of the coat
approached the woman, and after thank
ing her for the trouble to which she had
beer put, and expressing both the thanks
Of his wife and himself for her assist
ance, said that he would not trouble
her to wear the coat for any longer time.
Much to his surprise, however the Wom-
that the coat was her own. All appeals
from the man were of no avail, and the
Wearer Of the coat finally stated so it
is said, that she knew the man well, and
calling him by name, asked him If he
were willing to have it made public that
he was trying to evade the payment Of
customs duties in that way.
The purchaser Of the garment p0ndered
over the matter for awhile, and came to
the conclusion that the loss of the coat

Different Engagements-

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Gen Modesto
Garces, special delegate in charge Of for
elgn affairs of the Liberal party of CO.

cable advices from Curacao the head
quarters of his party, saying that the

Espana, after a bloody engagement last
ing all day, near La Cruz, thirty-five
miles south of Bogota. Gen. Soto captur-
ed large quantity Of arms and ammuni-
ton and several cannon. Among the kill
ed was Padre Espana.
Another engagement was at Usme,
about thirty miles east OF Bogota. in
which the Liberals were also successful.
Gen. Garces advices also state that an
other Liberal army, under Gen. Folosa,
combined with forces from Cauca and
Tolima, has just entered from the south,
the department of Anticquia, formerly
stronghold of the Conservatives, and cap
tured the important city of Salamina,

Happiness is a curious thing, and

II have made practice Of noticing how
few really happy-looking faces one sees
in a days march; also, how few cheer
full sounds one hears.
Early this morning on a back street
I heard rollicking whistle coming-high
and shrill, but melodious withal 1t
was around the corner, but came steadily
nearer and nearer. AS the big, cheerful
whistler came in sight, so to speak,
discovered, to my surprise. that the per-
former was a small boy. lie was neatly
clad, though in somewhat rusty wei
worn clothes. His face was clean, his
cheeks as red and shining as fruitstand
apples, and at first glance one might
suppose that his apparent sound health
was. the source Of all this bubbing joy
in life. Looking lower than his whistle,
however, | saw that in his whole, but
rather scuffed-looking shoes. he had
a brand-new pair of bright yellow shoe
strings. That was it! Those yellow shoe
strings had made him happy. As far as
| could see that small boy, he flung his
feet like cakewalker-and whistled on.
