Blind Mans Bright Dog.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
Jack, a large Newfoundland dog, caused
the arrest of Edward Callahan, eleven
wears old, on a charge of larceny, and was
the means of his blind master. William Cul-
len. a newspaper boy living at 53l West 18th
street recovering the cart from which his
papers were delivered.
When Callahan appeared in the Maxwell
street police court he declared the cart had
been stolen by his brother. 1t was also
shown the boys brother was dying from
consumption. The magistrate reserved his
decision until the home surroundings of the
prisoner could be investigated.
For years Cullen has been familiar fig
ure on the West Side. His best friend and
guide is his dog. The animal pulls the
wagon of newspapers and leads his master
to the various customers all of whom he
knows.
The cart was stolen on Tuesday. Cullen
started to deliver his papers without it.
The dog appeared to realize something was
amiss After a walk of several block, Jack
suddenly gave a bark and rushed from the
side of his master to the center of the
street, where Callahan was pulling the ia
miliar newspaper cart. Detectives VosS
and Long were near at the time and arrest
ed the lad. The harness was the boy,
and less than a minute the dog, waggjng
his tail, was dragging the small Cart on his
masters extensive newspaper route.

A Danish Railway Incident.

From the New York ines
Along the State railway in Denmark thun-

the long grass with agitated horns. Calm
and unmoved. the gallant stoker stood be-
side the driver and gazed ahead. Suddenly
his check blanched. and he pointed with
trembling finger down the line. The driver
gasped There was no possibility of stop

cence of it's danger squatted serenely upon
the track a little chee-ild!
Realizing the situation in the lightning
passage of a single second, the gallant
stoller grasped the drivers hand in eternal
farewell, and then with a brief but soulful
thought of his wife and three fender BARNS

leap from the engine and dropped upon his

Yankee Comforts for French Babies.
l have already spoken of the American
toys which are sold in different parts Of
Europe. You may find some in Paris and
they are to my mind prettier than the
French toys and as rule, much cheaper.
There is an opening also for our baby car
riages, both here and in England. Those
used in Paris and London are the most I'M
comfortable things l have ever seen. The
London baby is wheeled about in a sort of
foot bath on wheels, called a perambu-
lator. The most common carriage has two
seats, so that it can be used for twins If
needed, and it is not uncommon to see it
SO occupied. Even the perambulato
are rough looking. and the beautiful basket
work affairs made in America would GER
tainly sell.
The baby carriages of France are more
ike ours, but they not half so comfort

basket work, with four wheels two big

TALE OF A HAT.
What Happened to the Portly Man and
What He Did to the Hat.

from the scotsman.
A gale was bowling across the square
when a large. portly man came around the
corner He erect and his rotund figure
had a military pose, air Of dignity,
which was imposing.
Suddenly a wild gust seized his shining
hat and whirled it off. 1t shot up into the
air and described circles in the manner of
NJ. Santos-Dumont's airship. Then it flew
across the street and fell into a puddle of
muddy water.
The dgnified citizen gazed at the flight
of his hat in a bewildered fashion. When
it fell 20 the ground he cantered gently
after it, AS he neared 1t he bent eagerly
forward. His hand almost touched the pre-
ciOus tile, when swoop came another gust
and snatched the unfortunate hat, which
went rolling off. churning the muddy waters
of the gutter like the screw of a steamer.
The owner of the hat looked wrathfully
after it and then started in pursuit on
mad galiop. Swiftly along the square rolled
the hat. Suddenly, in the midst of his swift
course the pursuer stepped on a piece of
orange peel, grasped wildly at the air and
fell with a despairing splash.
Shorn of all his dignity, the unhappy man
slowly rose, looked around to see II he was
observed. then carefully examined ms m

peacefully reposing by the curbstone, lay
the innocent cause of all his misfortunes.
With an air of grim discrimination he
strobe toward it. The hat remained coyly
resting on the edge of a puddle. The portly
person gazed down at the water-logged,
Undiscovered tile. and then at his own
ruined raiment.
Just then. as if inspired by a demon OF
mischief. the hat began to sway with
passing gust. This was too much. Cath
ering himself together, the fat man made
a mighty leap and landed both feet squarely
on the hat. He peered anXiously around TO
see if he was observed, and then, turning
ND his coat collar strobe away, leaving the
fragments of what had once been SIX

France Wants American Coal.
I had a talk last night with Mr. Lazare
WELLER, who recently returned from the
United States, where he has been locating
a place for the twenty young students which
lea to study our Industrial and business
methods Mr.. WELLER is delighted with his
reception in the United States, and is
urging that closer commercial relations
should be established. Said he:
1.-The French have never felt more friend
" toward the Americans than they do now.
We appreciate your wonderful kindness
and great munihcence in sending supplies
to our suffering people Of Martinique, and
we should like to do what We can to make
our trade relations with you closer. In
deed, may say the French will do all they
can to meet the people of the United States
in this way. We should be glad to buy
anything of you when 1t is not to our great
financial advantage to buy elsewhere"
"Along what special lines can our trade
with France be most easily increased?' L
asked.
There are several lines replied Mr..
WELLER, "and especially that of coal l
should say that you could give us our
surplus coal quite as advantageously as the
English or Belgians. Our annual produce
ton Of coal Is about $4,000, 900 tons short
of the demand, and we have to go to
England or Belgium for supply. The Unit
ed States could easily furnish this and L
hope that arrangements can be made to
that effect"

Grand Opera House.

A play of powerful melodramatic
 force began three nights engagement
 at the Grand opera house last evening.
 The play, "The Convict's Daughter,
 is resplendent with exciting incidents and mirthful situations, which caused loud outbursts of applause from the large audience present. The drama is from the pent of that most prolific writ CT, John Arthur Fraser. Especially good among the members of the company is
 Miss Pauline Sain as Susan: w. R. Og- den as Weary Willie, Robert Graham and William Woodford, A. T. Krause as Jack Warburton, and John Kerwood as the detective. The interest of the play centers around Mir. Ogden, who as the tramp. Weary Willie, was most excel lent, his transition from comedy to pathos being very well done. The action of the play takes place in Ken lucky, where Weary Willie appears as the philosophical tramp in scoundrePs power. The sensational escape of Weary Willie from the walls of the states prison on fast freight train in the fourth act is one of the most ex- citing scenes ever staged. There will pe a ilidtiilee on saturday.
 It is promised by the management that there has never been seen on the stage of the Grand opera house such beautiful and complete pictures as those to be presented in "Under Two Flags for three nights and a matinee commencing next Monday. The we'll known international success is divided into five acts and is produced with all possible details and effects. These scenes are of course familiar to those who have read "Under Two Flags" and there are doubtless but few who have not done so, to htose few it can be said there is rare treat in store for them. Under Two Flags" Is cor rectly termed an international success after its long and profitable run in New York as well as London, and dur ing Its extended stay in New York this season filled the Academy of Music to overflowing audiences. Each act con- sists of special scenery and the effects are almost perfect inluding the sensa- tional Sand storm and Cigarettes ride for life,

Fully eight hum dred were present at various times dur ing the receiving hours.
 Light refreshments were served, and the table from which the dainties were dispensed was presided over by Mrs. Edward F. Hall and Mrs. Frederick Rowland.
