CARRIED HIS OWN ACCUSATION

CARRIED HIS OWN ACCUSATION.
By his personal but uaconsciausly
made efforts. Samuel Major. a negro,
who, the police say, is a thief. caused
his own arrest yesterday afternoon at
ter the police had searched for him for
/ several weeks.
Major was walking along Broad
street, near Walnut, when he met a
white man. who handed him a letter
and requested that he take it to LIEUT..
Mitchell, of the FIT enth ard Locust
Streets staten. The white man offered
Major a quarter for the job, and the
negro lost little time in reaching the
police station.
Lieut.. Mitchell was not in his office
when the negro called, but Sergeant
Frank Williams, who vas temporarily
in charge, took the letter and opened
it. The contents surprised him.
Hold this man. Arrest him. He is
slippery He is wanted in the Nine
tenth District for robbery" read the
letter.
Williams looked at the negro and
smiled Major also smil d, but only for
about minute.
Williams called the turnkey and or
Tered him to lock up Major. The negro
almost ftinted.
What have l done?" h" asked.
Il don't know yet" said Williams,
but this letter says you have commit
ted a robbery, and l intend to find out
whether you did"
j why, I brought that letter myself,
A white man, at Broad and Walnut
streets. gave it to me-
oh. we'll" said the Sergeant, i
guess he was a policeman, and has
used notwithstanding methods to ar
rest you. You are victim of these
progressive times"
Still protesting his innocence, Major
was taken back to cell and locked up.
A message was afterwards sent to
the Nineteenth District, and the an
swer received was to the effect that the
! negro was wanted in that district for
robbery. According to the return mes
sage, Major had worked for printing
firm at Tenth and Walnut streets and
was sent out several weeks ago with
some money to make somep urchases,
and forgot to return with either the
money or the goods.

H1PpOPOTAMUs VS.. GAzELLE.

German theatrical critics have been
given to understand that knighthoOd is
still in flower over there, and that they
are expected to recognize the fact. A
Berlin critic recently wrote of the per-
Torrance of an actress in that city that
snep layed her part with the grace of
a hippopotamus." OF course, he spoke
figuratively, but the lady appears to
have objected to his metaphor. ard
therefore she sued him for defamation
of her character. When the case came
to trial she was sustained by the court
who gave it as his opinion that the
word 'hippopotamus" was calculated
to lower her in the estimation of the
public; also that theatrical critics
ought in their reports to preserve the
tone and taste usual among well edu-
Gated gentlemen.
The offender was accordingly fined
100 marks and sentenced to ten days
imprisonment.
Thus we see how dangerous it is to
fool with words in describing the man
ner or style of a lady. If the critic had
said the actress had, in playing har
part. reminded him of gentle gazelle,
she would undoubtedly have overlook
ed it or sent him her thanks. The Ger
man critic may say the prima donna
sang like a canary or lark, but if he
mikes his birds and hints that she
aroused within him recollections of the
cawing crow let him prepare for a Jail
diet. Its art is dear to the fatherland
and must not be lightly tempered with
Germany should become the Mecca of
the chorus girl who remembers when
Buchanan was running for president,
and the actress who finds that being
rubbed and trained through the sum-
mer vacation serves no longer to keep
her under the 2o0-pound mark.-Chtca-

NUMBER OF LARGE CITIES AFFECTED
FORTY THOUSAND MEN IN THE
BUILDING TRADES OUT OF
EMPLOYMENT. g.

New York, Nov. 9.-President Frank
Buchanan of the Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers of America has ordered a
strike the country over on all con-
tracts held by the Iron league Of New
York. Forty thousand men in the
building trades and $50 buildings IN
der construction are affected by the
order. Outside of New York the con
tracts held by members of the Iron
league are few Only a few buildings
in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and St.
Louis will be affected.
President Buchanan claims that
5000 men will walk out in New York
and that 10000 building mechanics
will be thrown out of work by their
action.
After Sam Parks had tied up the
contracts of the Iron league for
months last spring the employers
formed a Housesmiths' union of their
own from members Of Parks union
and ironWorEers from out of town,
who were willing to sign the arbitra-
tion agreement. The union now has
a membership of 1900 The league
claims it has more men than it actu-
ally has work for.
Conferences between President Bu-
chanan and a joint committee of iron
workers and the Iron league have been
in progress this week. Concessions
had been made on both sides, but the
split came when the ironworkers re
fused to receive into local union No.

MUST ANNOUNCE ITS POLICY
France Not Ready to Recognize Re-
public of Panama.

Paris. Nov. 9.-Before giving a for
NAL recognition by France of the new
republic of Panama Foreign Minister
Delcasse has decided to secure a spe-
cific declaration that the new regime
will carry out Colombia's former obli-
cations in connection with the canal
and other French property interests.
Until this declaration is unmistall-
ably given French recognition will be
withheld, but as soon as it is given
there is the best reason to believe
that France will recognize the indie
pendence of the new state Gable in
quiries are now proceeding to secure
the specific assurance requested. The
French consul at Panama cabled that
Panama would assume Colombias for
mer treaty and legal obligations. This
is considered by the officials here as
making practically certain the inten-
tinns of the new state toward French
