VALUE OF DIPLOMACY.
A Chicago Woman CIeverly Trap
ped a Burglar.

The value of diplomacy was lllustra-
ted in Chicago the other night by Mrs.
Jessie Spears, when burgler entered
her rooms armed with revolver and
his eyes covered with a mask. "Why,
howdy~ exclaimed Mrs. Spears, as if
she were really glad to see the fellow i;
won't you have seat? I'll be good
and not scream, so put up the pistol.
Now, l haven't much money, but if
you would like to have something nice
to eat and drink, why, can fix 1t right
off for you" The burglar was capti-
waited at once. 81 really am little
hungry, and somewhat thirsty. too, "
he said. So Mrs. Spears got out a
splen did plate of roast turkey, some
angel cake and single bottle of beer.
81 am so sorry about the beer" apol-
ogised Mrs. Spears; eff you'll excuse
me one moment | will run down to the
corner and get some more beer while
you are eating and drinking" "Cert,"
said the burglar. In five minutes Mrs.
Spears was back. She had no beer,
but two policemen were with her,
and before Mr.. Burglar realized what
had happened he was handcuffed and
on the way to the police station. Nor

DEVERY STRONG AND AGILE.
How the Big Police Chief Avert
ed Disaster.

49, - 1900
William S. Deyery the eX-eLief Of
police of New York city, prevented
what might have been terrible acct
dent atsthe Democratic rally in Madi-
son Square Garden the other night,
says the New York World. David B.
Hill was speaking. The crowd had
pressed close upon the speakers stand.
Thousands of upturned faces showed
that the multitude was bent upon hear
ing every word Mr.. Hill was saying.
The throng did not notice that the
platform was breaking down at one
end. The railing was lettering under
the weight of dozen boys who were
leaning upon it. A police sergeant saw
the danger and quickly ordered several
bluecoats to clear the boys away. When
the boys started to move, wedged in as
they were against the crowd on the
stand the pressure caused the railing
to break with a crash.
Devery was sitting near, and with
the agility Of squirrel he sprang for
ward and grabbed the railing with one
strong arm and boy with the other.
The lad was falling with the railing. a
moment more and the entire mass of
plank and scantlings would have been
upon the heads of the crowd below.
i've got it, but come quick! shout
ed the doughty Devery.
A platoon of policemen rushed to his
assistance from above and below and
10 no
fore his strength gave out. Immediately
under the railing were three women
and three men in box. The platform
would have fallen upon them with
fearful force if Devery had not held 1t.
The thousands farther away saw
Devery's struggles. Tugging at the
platform with one arm and with the
falling boy with the other, the big
Chief was a policeman again, doing
DUTY as be used to do when he wore
the blue blouse.
''Hooray for DeveryY and You're all
right, chiefw cried thousands.
Devery was red in the face from the
terrific strain, but his flushed face
turned all the redder with bushes as
he bowed his acknowledgment to the
roaring crowd.
Mr.. Hills speech was interrupted by
the demonstration for Devery. He
turned and bowed to the hero of the
moment and winked approvingly. The
policemen patched up the broken plat
form, and Mr.. Hill went on with his
speech.

TRANSVAAL RACE ISSUE.
Boer Farms Taken Possession of
By the Blacks.

A race issue is going to cause lot
of trouble in the Transvaal. The bulk
and the best of the Boer farms have
been taken possession of by the blacks,
who refuse to give them up to their
repatriated overs. The Beers demand
that the government shall restore
their lands to them. The government
is making an effort to comply with
the demand, meanwhile intimating to
the Beers that it would be pleased to
have them resort to force to secure
possessions of their farms. The Beers
do not care to resort to force, but the
bad feeling between the blacks and the
whites is steadily growing stronger.
The outcome will be, of course, that
the blacks will have to give away, but
they will probably not do it until
there has been more or less blood
shed.

In the year sixty-one,
Abraham Lincoln took his seat.

And, the North said, what for?
The South replied, on the battle

When we told them good bye,
When we left them to go to the war.
In the year siXty-one,
Then the cruel war begun.
And the South fred the first signal

And the North raised its flag,
And left bloody stain;

Lawyers Think Injunction Proceed

A number OF lawyers were asked to-

Probable that such a measure would

purposes the affair is a pure and sim
pie boxing exhibition, no matter what
excited moralists may claim. on that
account it was hardly probable that
any judge of court would take ii m
on himself TO issue an Injunction upon

province of a court to assume what Is
gong to happen, nor will any fair
minded Judge take upon himself to is
sue an injunction to stop what he
merely assumes will occur unless he

such thing will happen, and if it
does happen it will not be tolerated.
Ii, however, an injunction is issued.
It must be issued in such time that a
hearing can be had to dissolve il be-
fore the date set for the exhibition has
arrived. TO issue it under any other
conditions would be manifestly unfair
and work grievous hardships to those
interested in the exhibition. It is
probable that large bond, sufficient
to cover all the expenses of the exhibit
ton and give fair compensation to the
promoters for their work, as well as
return for their money invested. would
have to be filed by the complainant.
This is quite a large sum and it is
very doubtful if anyone would wish
