dozen arms and hands were extended
to assist him to rise. conspicuous
among the number being those of the
youthful maiden queen herself, who
quickly rose to go towards him as by
feminine instinct, the latter tri-

the pageantry whicH surrounded her.

Richard Rush, who was minister to

THEIR SCHEME FAILED.
. Rather Ingenious Trick to Get the
Better of a Pawnbroker.
Undianapolis Journal.)


A pair of trousers, a pawnbroker and
two moneyless youths were the central
factors in a cleyer swindle uncovered
by the police. yesterday. Herbert Poor,
and Edward Edmunds, are in Jail
awaiting an opportunity to tell their
stories to Judge Stubs. "
d. Shalansky owns pawnshop at 4a9
East Washington street. Yesterday
afternoon Poor walked into Shanlan-
sky's and said that his name fitted mis-
condition. He offered a pair of trous-
ers for pawn. Shanlansky gave him
50 cents on them. Just as Poor was
closing the deal with Shanlansky Ed
nunds entered. Something drew him
toward those trousers. He picked them
up, examined them, and then declared
that the pawned trousers belonged TO
him.
Not on your life do they belong to
you said the indignant Poor.
''Well, they just do
DO you say / stole them?"
mo, l don't say you stole them, but
| say they belong to me-"
Then the Hebrew began walking the
floor and begging that the gentlemen
maintain peace. He offered to let Poor
have the trousers back if he would re-
turn the 80 cents. Poor refused to re-
turn the 80 cents.
We'll. I'll tell you what let's do to
settle the dispute suggested Edmtinds,
with olive-branch cleverness. Let Mr..
Shalansky give me 80 cents and We'll
call the pawn legitimate. Then 1 can
settle 1t later on with you,' added Ed
munds, turning to Poor. Poor was
agreeable, but the Hebrew was not He
couldn't see a dollar in the trousers.
The word war was renewed between
Poor and Edmunds. who were playing
the role of strangers.
who are you?' shouted Poor.
II don't know YOU" yelled Edmunds,
waving his arm and threatening fight.
Pawnbroker Shalansky called the po-
lice. and Bicyclemen Simon and Nor
gan went to Shalansky's. Edmunds
had left the store and was hurrying
down an alley when Morgan caught
him. Simon remained with Poor. Ed
mund and Poor played strangers I'M

the policemen and then they confessed.
They are chums.

TENNIS AT NEWPORT.
Dohertys Defeat Collins and Weidner-
Some Lively Singles.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 2O-A slashing
match in doubles and n full score of sin
gle matches started successfully, Tuesday
the annual national championship lawn
tennis tournament at the casino.
In all 1t was a day of good sport, with
the doubles event between the Doherty
brothers of England, the champions of
the East, and Collins and Weidner of
leading feature The foreigners won, but
it required most skillful play to do it.
In the first three sets the Western play
ers won no less than AZ points out of SO
by timely placed shots. In the last two
sets Collins and Weidner scored only IL
places and piled up A errors, which gave
the Dohertys the match. While the fast
game lasted. it gave some of the speed
lest tennis seen at these courts for some
time.
The championship match in doubles be-
tween the winners of Tuesdays event and
Ward and Davis, the present champions,
will take place. Thursday forenoon.
AS the drawings in the championship
singles brought together very lew play
ers of equal ability, Tuesday, scarcely any
of the matches in this event went more
than three sets, and great majority of
them were closed up in short order The
best match of the day was between ii. F.
Allen of Philadelphia, and r. c. Seaver OF
Boston, which took five sets to decide.
Before he realized it, however, Allen
had brought the fourth set up to deuce
and then both worked like beavers for
the next two games. Allen won them,
managed to make the games four all in
the last set. but lacked vitality to carry
himself through, and Allen won the set
and match.

F. Davis of Boston. a lively tussle for a
