mad because you wouldn't dance To-
night, but surely he's got enough sense
to see that you oughtn't to insult
Brother Dillbeck that way when he's
visiting our house and everybody
knows what he thinks about dancing"
NO; he thought | did right about it, -
said Dolly.
Then what in the name of common
sense is the matter with you, Dolly?
You can't pull the wool over my eyes,
and you needn't try it"
Dolly faced about suddenly
Il reckon you'll sit there all night un-
less l tell you all about it, she said
sharply. Mother, Alan Bishop was
there"
You don't say"
Yes, and asked me to let him take
me to church tomorrow evening"
'Oh, he did,
Eyes; and. as | didn't want father to
insult him, p
You told him what your pa said"
"No; l just told him father didn't
want me to receive him any more.
Heaven knows, that was enough
We'll, that was the best thing for
you to do" Mrs. Barclay took deep
breath as if she were inhaling a de-
liciOuS perfume. Its much better than
to have him plunge in here some day
and have your father break out like
he does in his rough way. What did
Alan say"

HIS VICTIMS ARE MANY.

Seattle-The police have learned
of a smooth swindling game that has
been practiced by one COlpitts in
which MS victims perhaps will mum
Der about fifty from each of whom he
secm Cd sums ranging from 81 to $40.
His graft was the old picture en-
larging game that has been worked
so often and so successfully. He came
acre about a month ago. He said his
name was COlpitts. He didn't tell
where he came from or anything
about his business associations but
claimed to have the only proper and
economical way Of charging pictures
He opened an office at 61412 Second
avenue and started out in business.
He canvassed the city himself. Here
is his game:
He approached a victim and asked
TO enlarge a picture OF some dear reIa-
tive or a friend. He had sample OF
expensive frames and showed now
the picture would look. His price for
the work amounted all the way from
s. 10 $15 on which he required a de
post of from s. to SO as an act OF
good faith. Each order specified that
the purchaser was to call at 2O2l Sec
ond Avenue just thirty days after the
order was signed and then the enlarg-
ed picture would be turned over 10
chem on payment Of the balance
agreed upon.
But MIR. Colpitts did not maze the
pictures. He simply pOcketed the
money and when the time for denver
ing the pictures approached, ne PACK
ed his baggage. closed his office and
walked out of town with several nun
dred dollars to the good and great
laugh on his easy victims.
The first knowledge of the sWlndIe
came to light this morning when Col
pitts victims began calling at 2OZl
second avenue for their pictures.
This number is the home OF J. E..
Stanley PROPRIETOR of Ye Old Curlos1-
tv ShOD at the foot of Madison street.
More than twenty-five persons cdIIed
at Mr.. Stanleys home before noon TO-
lay and asked for their pictures. MIS-.
Stanley could not account 1or the
sudden onslaught Of people and she
called up her husband. He started al
investigation and soon learned that
~olnf,ts had used Mr.. Stanleys ad-
dress simply to throw of MS Vlctlms.
Mr.. STANLEY went to Colpltts once
and found it closed. On the door was
notice asking the customers to call
al 2021 Second avenue.
Mr. Stanley at once reporlea me
case 10 the police and now the officers
are irving to find Colpitts. There IS
but little chance of their doing SO Tor
without a doubt. he is now out OF the
state and probably on his way to
soma OTHER field that will be as easy
picking as Seattle.

Tho Strike i'm Eurone.

Rotterdam, April 9.-Ninety per cent
of the employees of the Dutch Railway
Company have offered to resume work,
shunters and pointsmen only being need
ed to re-establish a full service. The
iron workers have been appealed to, but
have resolved to maintain the strike. A
partial strike of the employees of the
building trade and of the dock laborers
was ordered today but otherwise the
chances of general strike are nil. The
soldiers guarding the offices of the trans
portation companies here today fired
upon four strikers who refused to leave
the picket line. One of the strikers was
killed.
The Hague, April 9.-The striking
railway employees here are showing de-
cided signs of weakening in their de-
termination to hold out for their demands.
1t is possible that a break in their ranks
will ensue.
Rome, April 9.--The strike here so
far as being of a general character has
failed. All the shopkeepers who yes
terday refused to join with the workmen
persist in their refusal and some of those
who shut up shop yesterday are again
open today. The military authorities
seem to have the strike thoroughly in
hand, and but few disturbances are oc-
curing. Four hundred arrests in all
have been made.

suferinp from Peritonitis,

Paris, April "a dispatch to Rappel
from st. Petersburg this morning, states
that the Czarina is suffering from peri
tonitis. The Czarina, before her mar
rage TO Gar Nicholas, was the Grand
Duchess Alix-Victoria, of Hesse and
the Rhine. She is the sister of Ernest,
head of the family of Hesse. She was
born at Darmstadt on June 6, 1872.
The life of the Czarina, since her mar
rage, has been in many ways an unhap-
py one. Not that the Car has in any way
neglected her, or that there has been any
lack of love between them. Their domes-
tic life, on the other hand, has always been
described as an ideal One The real secret
OF her unhappiness has been the fact
that while they have had four clild-
rem, none Of them has been a boy. This
fact has preyed upon her majesty's mind,
and has been accumulated by the growing
gloominess of the Car over the fact, and
the comments of court officials and others.
Recently it was stated that this depres-
sion had so conquered her majesty that
she had settled into state OF constant
melancholy. The cause of her illness is
severe cold, which she contracted sew
eral days ago. She is in a serious condi-
fion

Murdered i'm LEMONS Fit.

Lima, o., April "a desperate
murder, the outgrowth of jealousy, Oc-
Cured at Van Wer', yesterday. The
participants in the affair were ''Doc'
Johns, patent medicine vender, Ed.
Richards, and his wife. For sometime
Richards had suspected that too intimate
relations were existing between his wife
and his brother-in-law, Johns, and to
verify his belief, he returned home un-
expectedly yesterday and found the
"doctor" there Action was quick from
that on. Richards, pulled his revolver,
struck Johns with the butt on his right
ear, crushed the skull, until the broken
particles of the skull were imbedded
an inch and half in the brain.
Johns died few minutes later. Rich
ards has not yet been apprehended.
