Chicago.-Love and romance and the freedom of tramp life had greater attractions than algebra or Latin for 14-year-old Hazel Wagner, who proud ly boasts how she donned male attire and in company of her hero-a hero be- ing necessary for an elopement-'b beat her way" on freight train from Alton, Ia., to Chicago, in pursuit of a golden vision of happy days in a great city. Her disguise was detected soon after she reached Chicago. With her swain she was taken into custody. She shed many tears in the police station. But the newspaper writers and photographic arrived upon the scene. She read in red letters that she was pretty something about which she had been doubtful all her life. She laughed and was happy, and at once she began to make new plans as to what she and Fred d"-Fred Klausegger Is her one

A PLUCKY WOMAN
 FOUGHT A BURGLAR.
She Hung On to Burly Negro Until
 Assistance Arrived and He
 Was Arrested.

Philadelphia.-Cl Clutched by the throat by negro burglar, Mrs. Mary Roberts, of 3316 Arch street, bravely fought him until the arrival of assist ance, causing his eventual arrest. Mrs. Roberts suffered from nervous pros tration from the experience and was confined to her home afterwards.
 The man, James Smith, aged 35 years, who says he lives on Carlisle street, had been caught in the act of robbing the boarding house of Mrs. w. s. Riggs, of $500 Arch street, where Mrs Roberts takes her meals, says the Press. Mrs. Roberts was about to leave the house when colored servant told her that he saw strange man leave by the rear door with a bundle. Mrs. Roberts told the servant to run out the back door after him, while she would look in the front of the house.
 Just as she stepped on to the porch the burglar came around the side. She endeavored to stop him and called for help. The burglar seized her by the throat and tried to choke her, but Mrs. Roberts pluckily held on to him until the servant arrived from the rear of the house. He was armed with a poker, with which he dealt the bur glar terrific blow on the head, caus- ing him to loosen his grasp on Mrs. Roberts. The man was stunned for a few moments, but then was on his feet again and ran down Arch street to- wards the railroad. The servant and Mrs. Biggs, who had heard the strug- <rIn v,yrrrYyn1 fhn ynar s2
 When the pursuers reached the rail- road tracks the burglar was not in sight. He was soon found, however, hiding in small out-house. The loss of blood from his wound in the head inflicted by the poker prevented him from running any further. With him was found a quantity of silverware. consisting of knives, forks and spoons, which had been taken from Mrs. Biggs' house

Recently Employed in Making Houses
 Pavements, Yachts and Guns.
 In the rebuilding of the King of Corea's palace, which was recently destroyed by fire papier mache will be solely employed. To obtain suffi- scient quantity for the purpose there has. been engaged a staff of 1,000 Co- sreans possessed of strong teeth for chewing up paper.
 At Savinoroska in Russia, is paper house. It has been entirely built of blocks of papier mache, even the foundations and roof being made from that material. So, too, are the chim- neys, although the paper used in their construction was first mingled with a fire-proof material. The house. which is of considerable extent, and will. in the opinion of it's architect, outlast such as are built of stone and brick, cost over fS.00O. N Tn certain towns of. Russia, too, the experiment. is now being made of utilizing paper for paving the roads and s feets. In this case also blocks cou fessed to great solidity are em- led, and are said to stand excel
 Atiy the wear and tear of traffic Ihe cost, however, is at present too great to permit of anything like their universal adoption. For courtyards of mansions and similar purposes where expenses need not be of much consideration, paper pavement, it is averred, will soon come into vogue. x Out of the sheets of an Austrian daily paper an ingenious Viennese en- gineer has lately constructed for his use small yacht, 15 feet long, decked all over, and provided with center board In the making of the hull, deck, masts, sails and rudder several thousand copies of the journal were used each plank requiring no fewer than 2,5O0 leayes--and enormous pressure had to be employed before the necessary solidity could be obtain ed. The inventor has already made several excursions on the Werth See, and even in squally weather his boat is said to have behaved admirably.

few years before his death, number of paper field pieces. These unique guns, which were made to the order of the German government, are in- tended for the exclusive use of the infantry. Their caliber is very small, being, indeed less than two inches, and so light are they thatsa single soI- dier can, unaided, shoulder one with ease. Despite their small weight, however, the resistance is greater than that of a steel field piece of the same calibre.
 Germany, too, can boast itself the pioneer in dental novelty, viz, in pa- per teeth, which are constructed from paper pulp instead of from porcelain or other material usually employed. They are said to have given satisfac- ton to such as have ventured their use, for not only do they keep, their color well, but not being brittle, are much less liable to chip than the ordi- nary false teeth. They are likewise guaranteed to be very durable. Lon uOn IIL-BlLSa# ftss

 Feminine inability to keep her long tresses concealed in mans hat was the undoing of this clipping girl. An unro- mantle policeman's eye detected her little hand in the very act of anchoring some of the stray ringlets. He was in terested and took his partner into con- sultation.
 Taking ssthe other side of the street," the officers followed the youthful pair in Haisted and Thirty-ffth streets, says the Chronicle. With an affected air of dash and jauntiness the smaller youth" under surveillance paced along the side- walk beside shis'' companion Occa- sionally the companion would take thSs others arm with gentle deference,a momentarily would try to. hold hag
 It did not take the two policemS long to oyertake the couple.
 "Take off that hat" ordered PLa1ce- man Oakley, pointing to the black slouch '.creation' which nearly came down to the feminine hobo's ears.
 Tears and scene! She trembled and seemed fainting. but her swain caught her limp form in his arms. { Weeping and protesting that the ar resting policemen were mean things" the girl and her companion were led to the Thirty-ffth street police station. They made a. clean breast of their TO- mantle elopement, which ended so disas- tr6usly for loves young dream.

We were in love and had resolved to run away together. We fell in love at first sight, didn't we, F'red?"
 Her hero nodded and, though trifie sheepish, he looked unutterable things. She was pleased and, smiling broadly, displayed pretty dimples and pearly white teeth.
 She appeared utterly unconscious of the fact that she was standing Tn mas culine apparel before crowd of men and she wore her overalls and the slouch hat-from which tresses of her hair in- sisted on escaping with an air of easy grace that a feminine impersonator of masculine roles on the stage might envy.
 Whose clothes are those you have on?" asked Capt. Mahoney, addressing the girl.
 A furious blush, but no verbal answer.
 Whose are they, Hazel? Come, speak up, and tell all the story"
 "Oh, can't tell that" she answered, faintly.
 Then a queer idea came into his head
 "Surely-surely," he gasped, "they are not Fred's clothes?"
 "Yes, they are; whose else do you think I'd wear?" said the girl, with merry little laugh, as musical as silver bells.
 '.Aha, I see; no doubt I should have thought of that long ago." said the cap- tain, who subsided in confusion, as the other policemen joined heartily in the laugh.

 The young husband, who is the man ager of the Elysian Plumbers Supply company, and is in comfortable circum- stances, provided handsome home for his bride, and she had everything that she might wish for.
 "The way she deserted me has caused me much pain,' he said, the other night, "but what gals me is that she left me no letter to tell me where she had gone and why. That note to the stove is an insult to me, and if ever she returns I will not take her back.
 'I made search for her at the homes of our relatives, but could not find her. I am not troubling myself very much over her, but that letter to the stove will remainson my mind forever, and will never forgive her for writing it.'

Robbed by Rat of $500 Ring.

Philadelphia. After three weeks search by detectives for the robber who stole diamond ring valued at $500 from a bureau drawer in the bedroom of Alonzo Young, the victim, by means of spool of thread and a chamois sack similar to the one in which the gem rested when it disappeared, recovered his property. He left the bag in the same spot where the ring had rested, and in the morning it was gone. The thread, which had been attached to the bag, ran into a hole in the wall. The missing ring, nestling in mass of chewed up chamoss, was found in a rats nest.

the Helena agents are getting the
business which properly belongs to
the local agents. The reason the
railroad company insisted on the in
surance being left to them is to pre-
vent the insurance companies COM
ing back at the railroad company IN
case the wool Is burned, as was the
case in Miles City a few seasons ago.
But the local agents say this is no
reason why the insurance should not
be given to Lewistowh offices.

Their resolutions passed tonight

CONTRABAND
Of War Defined by Gov
ernment.

Washington, d. c., Aug. S.-The cir
cular defining the attitude of the Un-
tied States government on the ques-
ton of contraband of war, made public
by Secretary of State Hay today mere
ly re-affirmed the position taken dur
ing the Spanish-American war.
It's publication was made necessary
by the misunderstanding Of Ambassa-
dor Mccormick at st. Petersburg. The
circular was sent to the representatives
of this government abroad, that they
might be in a position to define their
governments attitude in the present
conflict in the far east.
Ambassador Mccormick received a
copy, but thinking it for his confiden-
tial use, placed it in his desk. He did
not notify the Russian government of
it when called upon. Russia has been
very anxious to learn the position of
this government. The facts reaching
the department of state 1t was deemed
advisable to make the official paper
public at once.
