down completely. A detective took him to Harrison street police station.
 'sWe had a lot of trouble down at home," he said to Inspector Lavin, with quaver in his voice, land as soon as the hay was in last summer told father was going out to earn enough money to pay what we owed"
 "And you did?" suggested the i'm spector.
 'Yes, met a fellow and we worked hard out west up to month ago, washing gold. Then we divided up. I had about $500 for my share. Yes, I had enough left to clear the, home stead"
 .What then?" as the fellow wan dered off again.
 .'I was tired, coming all this way, and I sat down on that bench and fell asleep. When awoke up all I had in my purse, $7o0, was gone. I don't care for myself but I let the folks know that was coming and had enough money, and"
 But he could go no further. The thought of the disappoint of his father and mother was too much for him. He was given bed at the station and the next morning was sent to Cleveland.

UPTON YACHTS SAIL TODAY.
Enthusiaatac Send Off From British
 Waters.


 GREENOCK, May 28.-The final preparations for the departure of the two Shamrocks have been completed, and all the stores are aboard and the compasses adjusted. The interest in the coming Americas cup races is gen. eral throughout Scotland, where Sir Thomas Lipton's fleet is now called 'sthe Upton armada"
 A surprising fact, calculated to give even a better complexion to the chal- lenger's performance under canvas, came out during the fitting out of the yachts for the ocean passage. Sham rock I. has been elaborately strength ened inside with oak Hmbers, whereas the challenger goes almost as she was raced. Investigating the reason for this, 1t was discovered that the chal- lenger's extra timberS are all of steel and were carried throughout the re- cent trial races. She was therefore handicapped in the trials by carrying a couple of tons dead weight in her hull which will be removed before she races for the America's cup.
 The installation of wireless telegra- phy on board Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin is finished and has been tested with excellent results. The first communication will probably be made with the signal station at Brow Head.
 There is every indication that the challenger and her consorts will be given most enthusiastic farewell on leaving British waters.

SHORT NAP IN DEPOT.
Traveller, Tired with Long Journey, Goes to Sleep and Ayvakes to
 Find Hims elf a Pauper.

Seven hundred dollars was the price Peter Griffin, of Cleveland, O., paid for a nap in Chicago, and he didn't sleep on an upholstered couch behind velvet curtains, as he dreamed he did, either. His bed was a bench in Grand Central passenger station, where he was wait ing for train which would take him to his home.
 Ten minutes after Griffin, tired by 8 long journey, closed his eyes he was awakened as suddenly as though some body had rung the old farmhouse din- ner bell at his ear. He sat up and stared about him for minute, trying to realize where he was.
 Instinctively his hand went to his pocket. 1t had been cut as he slept and his old-fashioned purse was gone. When he realized his loss he broke

tenth inning. With one out, Downey at the bat drove pretty ball toward right field. Roger saw the ball com ing and stretched himself to- his ut most, also Jumping into the air fully a foot Much to the surprise of ev- eryone and to himself the ball landed in his hand and he came to earth with it. It was worth double the price of admission alone and did much towards shutting out the Orators in this inning. The fans cheered Roger for several minutes, so delighted were they with the play.-Springfeld News.
 Kennedy, the base ball umpire, had a narrow escape from being roughly handled by some angry fanatics after the base ball game yesterday after noon. The umpire was called rob " and other epithets by the men in the bleachers during the progress of the game, because of some decisions which had an important bearing on the game. When he called runner out for not touching the first base and the New London first baseman was seen to in terfere with the runner, the fans were hardly able to contain themselves, as nothing quite as raw as this has ever been seen here before. While on his way to the dressing room two men made rush for Kennedy. He offered to, fight one of them, but policeman hurried him into the dressing room and closed the door. Manager Reilly said Kennedy had no excuse for mak- ing the decision he did and he claimed that Kennedy had grudge against MT Tracy. MT Reilly's partner, because Tracy had released Kennedy when he had a team in Bristol. He said Ken nedy had been waiting for a chance to get even and he had taken advantage of the close score yesterday to do it. Hartford Coura1lt.

the store where the cat and her little family were housed. The rats were thrown in-and the feelings of the on, lockers can be better imagined than de- scribed when they saw the cat lick and pet the little animals instead of mak- ing an onslaught on them.
 Up to the present writing the cat has faithfully and jealously guarded and nursed the youAg rats, and it is a noticeable and peculiar fact that She whole nature of the rats appears ito differ from that of their progenitors. They play and frisk with the kittens and jump all over the back of the old mother, who plays with them. It is truly a happy family.
 When the news of the peculiar case became bruited abroad crowds focked to MT. Hansen's store to see the anil mals. Those who saw told other doubt ing Thomases and they also in- spected, going away wondering. The great interest now is to find out whether the family will continue to live in harmony. aEs

Glow Worms for. Ii ghf.

Here is curious discovery in rs- gard to glow worms which has been made by Frenchman. He caught several of them and fed them for a few days, after which he let them loose in his garden. When night came he invited some of his friends, and vastly surprised they were when they saw his garden illuminated in various colors. They could not ac- count for it until he caught few glow worms and showed them that from one came red light, from another a blue light, from a third a yellow light, and so on. How he produced such wonderful result no one knows. for, while he admits that the various lights are the direct result of the food which he supplied to the worms, he will not tell what he gave them to eat. He considers his dis covery of great importance, and claims that it can be used to advan- tage in optical telegraphy and for fishing at night.-Brooklyn Eagle.

 3'You need not think you are always teIephoning secrecy said teacher in the deaf mute college in this city, relates the Washington Star, 'swhen you go in a booth and close the double doors after you, as see people doing every day. notice these people in their retreats in which they think their words are drowned from the outer world, talking often while they look on the people outside of the glass doors. @
 Now, do you know he continued, that every word that is so spoken is understood by a deaf mute whenever he sees what is going on under such conditions? That is fact. The deaf mute becomes so proficient in learn ing to read the language of the lips that the motion is as expressive to him as is the sound of the human voice to other people. The next time you have 8 secret to impart to some friend over a telephone in public booth where people are watching you you should be careful to speak directly in the mouthpiece of the phone so that your secret be not given away to some who happen to understand the lan- guage of the lips"
