As Usual, the Street Car Conductor
Had It.
Two well-dressed ladies boarded a
crowded north-bound Woodward ave-
nue. a near Grand Circus Park the
other evening and found standing
room near the ear door, just as the
conductor started forward to collect
his fares. When they reached Alfred
street he had not yet made his way
back to them and they alighted with.
out paying their fares.
When he saw them leave the car the
conductor, an irrascible little German,
rushed to the real platform and shout.
ed: .
Ladies, you didn't pay your fare."l
But the ladies were out of hearing.
and went on in blissful ignorance Of
the conductors perturbation. #8ga
Ladies'" he shouted again, in lou
er tones, "aren't you going to pay WI
fare?" sag
BY this time the ladies we're several
rods away and the conductor had mi,asdssl'
up his mind that they weren't coming
back, 30 he sent this parting shot
after them, as he pulled the bell rope
to go ahead:
Ladies, I'd pay my fare IL I were
you. l. wouldn't be such q slob," he
added in a lower tone, as the car sped
on.-Detroit Tribune.

Peddler Leaves $4,000 to a Woman
From He Stole a Pocketbook.
Utica, N. Y. May 10. - As recon-
pense for having stolen her pocket
book in 1883, George Todd, a miserly
travelling peddler, has bequeathed to
Mrs. Peter Jordon of Brockton, Mass,
$4,000. Todd had always been looked
upon as penniless. but after his death
a wallet was found in his pocket con-
tanning a bank book and securities
worth more than $4,000. This vas
accumulated through niggardly saw
ings, the scartiest Of living, suffering
in cold weather for want Of proper
clothing, going without food rather
than buy. Todd had for fifty years
carried a tin box from one end of the
country to the other. always selling
something and invariably begging his
meals and lodgings. For the last ten
or fifteen years he had used a wheel
barrow, and his tall, gaunt figure had
become a familiar object in all parts
of the country.

looked now so white and so still.
She did not give way to any loud out
cry, as the men had believed of course
she would do. In a moment she arose
and said, in a. voice that sounded very
cold:
Bring him to the house."
Without a word they lifted him and
followed the daughter.
She swiftly reached the house and
lit a lamp, then pointed to the lounge
in the front room, and they put him
there.
"IIl go for a DOCTOR" said Martin,
anxious to do something.
"'Tain't no use. He had been dead
an hour or more when we found him."
said one of the other men.
And, indeed, it was of no use; one
look at that face and figure told that
doctors had no power there. .
But Martin would go; he had heard
of people in frances, he said, and he
was going to have a doctor.
When the physician came he said
that he COULD do nothing; that Mr..
Purcell had probably dice of heart dis
ease-that phrase comes so glibly
when a sudden death has occurred.
The men had found him lying by the
side of an excavation he had made
lying with his pickaxe grasped tightly
in his hand.
And 80 all his groundless hopes had
persisted. He had found no treasure
with which to endo whis child. AS
Bernard Caryl had stripped him of his
fortune, so, lacking all worldly goods,
he had died.
What will Kate do now" was the
first question on the lips Of the neigh.
bOrs.
And when, a few days after the
funeral, they put the question to the
girl herself, she answered:
Il shall probably stay here. I can
support myself with shop work."

Minneapolis, May 19. ~ DR.. Albert
Alonzo AmsS was Saturday senterced
to serve six years in the Saltwater

transgressions of law and decency

ministration of the municipal affairs

the sum of $4,000, and is at liberty.
pending an appeal to the supreme
court.
The man who had for many year
occupied an enviable position in a
great and honored profession, and
who for a longer period was the idol
of the people, accepted the courts de-
cree with that outward display of
tranquility which has characterized
his conduct during all these mouths
Of sensational development. The doc
tor came into the big court room
where he had been tried and convicted
some time in advance Of the Judge,
upon whom devolved the unpleasant
duty of sentencing the most prominent
parsonage ever sent to the Minnesota
penitentiary. The former mayor was
accompanied by his faithful wife.
Sentence Not a Surprise.
There were present in the court
room a couple of hundred persons,
many OF these attracted more through
curiosity than through interest in or
friendship for the felon at the bar.
When Judge Elliott pronounced the
sentence there was no Demonstration
of surprise in any direction-not even
in the prisoner or his wife. DR.. Ames,
IL surprised at the sentence of the
court, did not make it manifest. 1t is
evident the man yet believes he will
escape the prison. He is generally
in an atmosphere of friendliness and
sympathy, and this fact, with his
confidence, is quite sufficient to keep
him buoyed up ever in the presence
Of conditions wholly unfavorable.
F. M. Nye appealed in an earnest,
eloquent and very feeling manner for
leniencyf toward the convicteu ex-
mayor. The attorney dwelt upon the
advanced age, the physical and mental
infirmities of DR.. Ames, and told of
his Official and political i~ncorruptibil-
ity previous to his last administration.
