Swindler Met His Match.

The classical confidence trick has been
neatly played on a would-be swindler by
his intended victim. The latter, a cook
on a transatlantic liner, had been done
himself before, and was too old bird
to be caught again. He struck up an
acquaintance with an engaging but OBJ
viousiy sham American millionaire in the
train to Paris, confding TO him that he
had 10000 francs in his bag, and meant
to amuse himself on the bouevards.
We'll met. indeed" said the million

an expensive dinner, paid for by the
American millionaire. AT coffee the lat

cigars; suppose you go and buy some.
You can leave your bag here, where il
will be quite safe. But. as you might be

CURIOUS SNUFF BOXES.
They Were Made in Many Cases to Suit
Fanciers of Users.


In the days when a snuff box was con-
sidered a Necessary attribute TO the per-
quisites OF a beau-or a belle, for that
matter-much ingenuity was brought to
bear upon the manufacture of these
dainty trifles.
The results were often very novel, and
even the most captious and exacting
snufftaker found something suited to his
wants. Those with a taste for the NOR
bid could buy boxes made from the wood
of scaffolds, chairs that murderers had
sat upon or parts of their houses. Sport
ing men could find pleasure in the little
miniatures depicting scenes in the chase.
Sailors had their boxes made from the
timhers of some historical shp-the hull
OF the Royal George was turned to this
purpose more than once.
Soldiers had battle scenes in miniature
upon their boxes, and these were often
executed with the finest workmanship
aud great attention was given to detail.
The Scotch, always great snuff takers,
were very fond of manufacturing their
snuff boxes from a crumpled horn. The
end of the horn was followed out to hold
the snuff and little mallet was attached
by which to tap the snuff from the sides
if it adhered Sometimes brush was
added 10 flick away particles from the
nose. The ordinary Scotchman had a
plain null snuff box, but those belonging
to the lairds We're often embossed with
silver mountings and precious stones,
making them valuable as well as pictur-
esque.
One of the most popular and well
known of snuff boxes was that given to
Napoleon by Pope Plus VI. When Ma
pOleon died he left the box as a keepsake
to Lady Holland, who had been very
kind to him during his Imprisonment on
St Helena. Lord Carlisle, who urged
the lady to reject the gift suggested that
every time the box was opened horror
and murder would leap out. The box
was bequeathed by Lady Holland at her
death to the museum.-London Daily

EXCITING FIRE INCIDENT
Boy Hurt, House Burned, Other Prop
 erty Badly Damaged.

There was a somewhat spectacular and rather disastrous fire last night be- tween 10 and II o'clock, on the north side of East Jefferson street between Seventh and Eighth streets. From the view point of almost every other part of town the blaze seemed to come from the carnival grounds where a large crowd was congregated and the result was that many imagined some terrible accident had occurred there.
 The fire though, resulted in the de- struction of a house and barn and part of two other barns, a block and a half from the carnival grounds, the origin of the fire being thus far unknown. The house and barn burned, belonged to R. Wilson, who runs a second hand store in the Gardiner block and who used the house as a storeroom for fur niture. The next building west is own ed and occupied by A. H. Davidson. It is brick structure with shingle roof and with wooden kitchen. This build ing would certainly have burned had it not been for the good work of the fire department of which, MT. David son announces, he is duly ap- preciative. Mir Davidson's barn and the barn across the alley to the north, on the property of Mrs. Annie Logan, both caught fire but were only partly destroyed. For a few minutes it looked as though the Logan resi- dence would also be burned but it was kept well drenched with water till the danger was passed.
 East of the Wilson property stand two or three lumber houses, in a row. all of which would probably have burned if the first one had once been

out in force last night, giving Nat Reiss pointers about running carnivals. They first gathered at their aerie in the Padget building and sent for the carnival band to escort them to the grounds in style. Some of the gayest of the old birds were true to the ad- vance notices and performed their work well, but unfortunately others failed to keep engagements and the audience had to depend on the regular performers for entertainment. Billy Hart did cake walk in Dixie that was superb and Paul Kruger made bluff at the snakes but if he ate any of them he was so clever nobody caught him at it. J. Binkcorn refused to do Philion's turn. Said he had nothing to protect his head from the fire. Too many of them, in fact, made excuses, but they were all on the ground having fun and trying to make fun for others. At the conclusion of the carnival per formance, the Eagles held d stag party which the carnival people attended, furnishing the entertainment for the hour.

His killing happened within a short time after he was lodged in Yuma.
 THE ANDERSON TRIAL.-Yester- day was the day set for the trial of Josiah Anderson for the killing of Will liam Cameron. There were two reasons why it was not called.
