Saturday evening a stranger, apparently
perfectly sober, sat down IN a chair at the

was carried to cot and laid on It, His
breathing was natural and he sDored Justify.
During the night he fell off the cot, but

He awoke early this morning and seemed
to be much refreshed by his sound sleep.

that his money was all there. He is Of the

There can be no comparison between the

across the state with a special delivery

The exact reason for the step has not
been made public, but II is known to be in
connection with the doodle investi cation
which led to his fiight from the state and in
which he is popularly supposed to be much
more than a disinterested witness.
So far he has persistently refused to tell
what evidence he gave The grand Jury OH
Friday, but others have spoken for him,
alleging that he admitted being made the
go between for those who were fighting the
alum bill. According TO this story. Kelley,
the agent Of the baking powder trust, gave
him $4,000 to distribute among those SEN
ators whose votes could thus be influenced.
He accepted the task but afterward break

undertake It, keeping, however his lion s

LONDON, April 26.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram 1.-The ex-
footman, William Brown. who got Countess
Russell to marry him by pretending that
he was Prince Stuart de Modena, natural
son of the emperor of Austria. from whom
he was about to receive $4,000 year, is
good-looking young fellow, tall, well
built, we'll tailored, with clean-cut fea-
lures, dark, neatly trimmed mustache, blue
eyes and an hand manner His accent
is not that of an educated man. but though
the countess knew him six months, she and
her mother (Iady Scott, who has had con-
siderable experience) never once suspected
the imposture.
The "prince" borrowed money freely from
the countess, who appears to have really
fallen in love with him. He says he never in
tended to go the length of marrying her,
but was gradually drawn into proposing.
After her first outhurst Of anger on dis
covering that she had been deceived and
deserted, the countess gave the police
no assistance in tracing him. Even now
that he is under arrest she seems unwilling
TO prosecute him.
1t is suspected that Brown was put for
ward in the first instance by some person
who had a grudge against the countess, to
play a practical joke upon her. But the
affair developed so satisfactorily that Brown
made full use of his opportunity and even
tually married the countess, believing that
her fondness for him would prevent her
from revenging herself when the inevitable
discovery of his imposition came.
Brown will be arralgned in court at

REvIvING BLOUSE AND BOOTS

ST. PETERSBURG, April 26-(New York
World Cablegram-special Telegram.)-A
league to encourage the wearing Of the ma
tional costume has just been formed by
some wealthy people here. This is believed
to be due not so much to patriotic senti-
ment as to a curious controversy that has
lately arisen over the matter in some high
class restaurants.
The characteristics OF the national dress
include an embroidered blouse and high
boots, srd the advocates OF this attire so
arranged have several times endeavored to
dine at some restaurant where the smart
set was largely represented, but each time
the proprietor objected on the score OF the
costume. Tho leagues first efforts will be
to get a decree permitting it's members to
enter wherever they may choose in blouse
and boots.

HEALTH BOARD is ON GUARD
VIII he watchfuI Lest Bad Fruits
or Vegetables Get Past
Them.

With the coming OF the season OF cheap
green fruits and vegetables the Board OF
Health is renewing its vigilance to prevent
the sale Of unwholesome market offerings
The most glaring violation of the rules OF
health comes from one OF the commission
houses dealing in fruit. Here, one day last
week. a number Of cases of strawberries
were condemned because of decay and were
thrown into the refuse barrel which is re-
moved each day by the scavenger. While
the fruit was in the barrel peddlar came
and took from II ten boxes Of the con-
demned strawberries short time after
wards he returned and said that he had sold
them for 10 cents box. When the man
ager OF the house learned what had been
done he forbade continuance of 1t, but
nearly dozen cases Of the condemned fruit
had been placed on the market before 1t
was stopped.
1t is reported also to the Board of Health
that some of the peddlers have been in the
habit of securing barrels OF radishes which
are so decayed as to be unsaleable and re-
moving the decayed portions of the vege-
tables and cutting off the damaged tops to
sell the radishes by the quart.
When the matter was brought to the at
tentlon of the Board OF Health 1t was said
by one OF the officials that the commission
men are somewhat to blame for the prsc-
tice as they fail to notify the city officials
when food is condemned, and the city can
not keep watch at each house. When such
food is condemned by the city IL is made
unsaleable by having kerosene poured over
it. Or. Ramacciotti who has charge OF
the condemnation and destruction of food
products in the city, will have the matter
in charge and will make especial effort to
see that no unwholesome vegetables are
placed upon the market, but he must have
the cooperation of dealers and TO some
extent Of householders before the work can
be made effectiye

Horse Trade in Maine.

From the mountains of Camden, Me,
comes a story of Philadelphia mer-
chant who has summer cottage In
that village and who wished to ex-
change q lively horse which he owned
with a French-Canadian who had a
more gentle animal which women and
children could drive. The FTenchman
was willing to trade, but for some rea-
son insisted upon repeating to the WIS.,
itor that the local horse did not look"
so we'll as the one belonging to the
Philadelphia man.
An exchange satisfactory to both
parties was eventually made, and the
first time this visitors wife took the
new horse out for drive she dis
covered that the beast was as blind
as mole. A few days later, when the
rusticator met the Frenchman, he said:
"See here, you rascal! that horse you
swapped with me for mine was stone
blind. Why didn't you tell me of it
at the time:"
