He passed it by with a rueful smile, when

referred to his walk at his parenthetica1

engagement, when she called her pet dog

Your Neighbors S@
BY Our Local Scribe.

A special from Toledo, Ohio under
date of Is inst. says:-An indictment,
charging Adrian (Addie) joss, OF Juneau,
Wis, with obtaining money under
false pretenseS, has been returned
by the grand jury now in session in this
city. jess, who was the star pitcher Of
the Toledo Western Association team
last wear. signed contract with Mana
ger Charles Strobel for this season, re-
ceiving $3.50 advance money. This
spring Manager Armour, Of Cleveland,
went to Juneau, Wis. and induced joss
to jump to the American League. jess
returned 500 of the money that he had
received from Strohel 1t is alleged that
he put the balance in his pocket. A
warrant for his arrest has been placed
in possession IF the sheriff and as soon
as Joss show up in the state he will be
arrested AMI brought to Toledo. He
will be prosecuted and if found guilty
will go TO the penitentiary, as the amount
alleged to have been taken by him makes
the offense felony.
Joss was a member Of the WatertGwn
team in 1890. 1t can scarcely be believed
by those who know Joss best, that he is
guilty Of the offense charged. 1t is easi
er to believe that the dispatch is big
bluff, and the fault, if any has been
committed at the other end Of the line.

FRANCE CELTIC OR LATIN 7
Argum ent of an En- gIishman That A D.
pears to Admit of No Dis
putatiOn.

An Englishnan, writing to the ed
icor of London Spectator, says:
''In connection with the recent visit
of the Italian feet to Toulon there
have been many references in the Eu-
ropean press to a renewal of the en-
tente cordiale between two Iati ma
tions. 1t may be of some interest to
inquire in what sense the term Latin
can be correctly applied to the French,
whom, almost in the same breath,
many pc ople are apt to describe as a
Celtic people. One thing surely is
certain, that in blood the French can
not be at the same time both Latin
and Celtic Yet the Inconsistency
does not seem to strike people.
81 think that, although outside
Provence the French have little or no
Latin. e., Italian-blood in their
veins, the explanation of their being
described as a LATIN race is to be
found in the fact that their language
and civilization are both Latin, 1t
seems no longer permissible to hold
that the French are mainly Celtic in
blood, the view being now generally
accepted that the bulk of the popula-
ton in France is of pre-Celtic, and
probably of Iberinn or Ligurian, stock
And this view seems to hold good also
pf ireland and Wales"

SPOON COLLECTING TIE FAD.
Women Have Escorts Take The IN
from Restaura nts-A PrOprie-
tors Ideas.

"I don't object to fads on princi-
ple," said the proprietor of fash
ionable Broadway restaurant to re-
porter for the New 4orn Times the
other day, but there is one in vogue
now that / would like to see run its
course and give way to one which
respects the rights of property. The
young women o. this town have a
craze for collecting restaurant
spoons. They don't care for them at
all, unless they bear the mark of the
house from which they were filched.
No, they won't take them themselves.
The average young woman, all re
ports to the contrary potwithstand
ing, is timid when in a pubnc dining
room. They simply intimate to their
gentlemen acquaintances that they
appreciate such things and the men
they do the rest.
81 can't say how many | have lost
from good customers whom / couldn' I
call down even if | were to catch
them red-handed. The customer of
place like this is likely to be worth
several hundred dollars in the course
of year, and q few spoons more or
less would not cut down cur profits
to any large extent, but the practice
is annoying, and for that reason more
ttan any other I would like to sec it
abandoned.
"Say, / knew one young fellow who
couldn't steal even to please his best
girl What do you suppose he did,
| He went and had lot of spoons es-
| pecially stamped with the names ot
| different restaurants and gave them
| to her one at time. She undoubted
| ly has large collection, but I have
| often wondered since I heard about Ii
| if she would set as much store by
! them as she does if she were to be
| informed that the donor came by
them honestly"

LIES OF NINE Ii, IS.
Fabulous Tales About Snakes That
Charm and Bank of England
Arrangements.

A lie that nothing seems able to
kill is the fable the snake fascinat
ing it's prey. 1t is always bobbing
up serenely. Travellers, otherwise
truthful, think it necessary to put it
in their books; novelists use it in all
good faith, and it appears in the pa
pers once in every six months, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The whole yarn is complete myth
No snake has any power of fascina-
ton: not even boa constructor
Snakes lie in wait for their prey.
pounce on it and make a meal of it.
without any frills or etiquette, but
nothing can kill the story. A COM
panion lie that generally goes with
it is the one about the serpent lick
ing his prey all over before swallow
ing it to make the job easy. There
is not a jot of truth in this statement
either; but since the notion was start
ed by traveller with a vivid imagina-
ton, it has reappeared regularly, and
endless books on zoology have copied
it as truth.
The great British bated- breath story
is that the enormous wealth in the
Bank of England storerooms is sunk
under water every night, so as to be
secure against theft. A huge tank is
said to lie under a sort of platform
that holds the heaped millions, and
| at the touch of button the whole
affair lowers itself into the tank, and
is covered by about nine feet of wa
ter. This is absolutely bosh; but moth
ing seems able to kill the fable. II
resulted originally from the sugges
tion of mad inventor "crank" long
time ago. when ideas for the securi
ty of Britain's wealth were being dis
cussed. The fact is, the whole banl
building is built "thief-proof," and al
night body of soldiers patrol the pas
sages and corridors. But the sub
merged-gold idea is still in the best o:
health.
