BEATS A CONFIDENCE MAN.

aire in Paris.

The classical confidence trick has
been neatly played on a would-be
swindler in Paris by his intended VIC
tim. The latter, cook on trans
Atlantic liner, had been done himself
before and was too old bird to be
caught again. He struck up an ac-
quaintance with an engaging but obvi-
ously 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
boulevards. We'll met, indeed" said
the millionaire; Il have also made
my pile and intend seeing the merry
side of life in gay Paree."
They started the evening with an OK
pensive dinner, paid for by the Amer
lean millionaire. At coffee the latter
exclaimed: "Hullo, have not any
cigars: suppose you go and buy some.
You can leave your bag here, where
it will be quite safe. But, as you
might be suspicious, here's my pocket
book. Keep it till you join me again"
AS soon as the cooks back was
turned the American millionaire. of
course, bolted with the bag, but the
latter only contained old newspapers
and the cooks card, with the words:
Il have been had before; you have
met your match this time" In the
would-be swindler's pocketbook was
sum of s24 in French notes, which
the cook took to the police station.
asking the officer to whom he told his
tale with understandable relish to give
the money to the poor.

Girl Is Stricken Dumb by Giving Col
lege Yell-May Never Speak
Aloud Again.

College boys and girls all over the
country will read with peculiar inter-
est Of the effect the college yell has
had upon the vocal chords of Miss
Pearl Turner, OF Macon. Ga. She is
one of the students of Wesleyan FeS
male college. The girls there have had
q rivalry recently to show to the pubs
lie which Of the five classes could make
the greatest amount of noise with the
college yells. 1t has not been an un-
common occurrence for some of them
to go home at night so hoarse they
could hardly speak above whisper.
But usually the hoarseness and sore
throat passes after few hours and
the yell is taken up with renewed zest.
But Miss Turner has had more
serious trouble with her voice. She
became very hoarse and did not rally.
She went to a specialist and he told
her that one of the vocal chords was
paralyzed. and the other one appeared
to be. He informed her that If it de-
veloped that both were paralyzed she
would never again be able to speak
above a whisper.

It was not difficult to pick out Pal

from one to the other as he remained
on his guard against an attack. But
the plans of the other three were al

answered, trying to produce a combl-
nation of tongues that these men could
understand. He had been long enough
IN the east to know that when one
crossed a frontier he did not at once
leave the language Of one country be-
hind him and find totally distinct
tongue of another in use. The people
who trade across frontier borrow
from each other enough to combine
their dialects and produce a sufficient
ly Ineligible language for intercourse,
and as one recedes from the frontier
the borrowed words from the other
country are gradually lost until the
tongue of the natives is in use. Thus
It was that, no matter with whom he
came in contact, Irons could make him
self understood.

The terrified Alma was taken, with
polite attentions, to comfortable cab

Selected,

New York, July 27.-Thomas Tag
CART, OF Indiana, was unanimously
elected chairman of the democratic
national committee Tuesday. The
meeting had not been in session long
before this action was taken. All eff
forts to induce Senator German to
take the place failed. Urey Woodson,
OF Kentucky, was elected secretary of
the committee. Edwin Soften, of the
District Of Columbia, was elected as
sistant secretary. John 1. Martin, of
Missouri, was elected sergeant-at-
arms, and Samuel Donelson, of Ten
nessee, was elected assistant sergeant
alarms Both were placed in nom
ination for the first place, but on mo-
ton of Senator Bailey the two were
elected to the positions named.
A motion was made for the selection
of two vice chairmen, one to have
charge Of the eastern headquarters
and the other the western headquar-
ters. William F. Sheehan, who was
present as proxy, moved to leave the
whole matter to the executive commit
tee and to the chairman of the ma
tional committee, with power to in
crease the number of the executive
committee and to select special COM
mittees for different sections of the
country in the judgment of the execu-
tive committee, if such action was
necessary. This prevailed and it will
allow the formation of special cam
paign committee or finance committee
in New York or any other organiza-
ton that the executive committee may
consider necessary.
The committee decided to accept the
invitation to go to Esopus to visit
Judge Parker Wednesday, leaving New
York at 1885 a. m. The invitation Of
the Democratic club, of this city, was
also accepted by the committee.
No conclusion was reached regard
ing the appointment of an executive
committee, but it is expected that the
committee will be named after the
visit to Esopus and consultations with
Judge Parker. The executive commit
tee may be members of the national
committee or others, in the discretion
of the chairman. The selection of a
treasurer for the national committee
was left to the executive committee
The committee then adjourned, subject
to the call Of the chair.
