OUR summer season, the season of
beach and mountain, of all outdoors
" for the little ones, and as much OF
the same as can be arranged for by
all children of an older growth, is draw
ing to a beautiful close. Everywhere
are natures silent places being deserted
and the towns and cities are about to
come into their own again. One by one
these sojourners are turning their faces
homeward again and joining the stay
at-homes, and those whose duties pre-
vented an extended absence. Many jolly
stories are being exchanged regarding
camping, fishing and boating trip ex-
periences and even so soon there are
whispered rumors of engagements and
to-be fall and winter weddings.

CHINAMAN WINS $4,000.
Sailors Run of Luck Interrupted by
enumeration Officers

NEW ORLEANS January S.-Although
All Ouok, a Chinese sailor. won $4,000 at
the race track here last week. he is tonight
the sorriest Chinaman in the country. He
must go back to China and he is dearly in
love with the United States-its liberties
and it's opportunities. All Quok is in the
tolls of the Treasury Department, whose
.leuths discovered him through his luck
at the track, and now he Is on train
speeding TO New York, watched by an i'm
migration agent, who will see that he is
safely landed at Liverpool and sent thence
TO China
The Chinaman made his winnings on two
long shots. He came to this port as a
sailor on the steamship JosephVicarro and
drew his savings of three years on the
statement that he wanted to send IL to his
family in China. Instead he went to the
track and plunged with It, He did not know
the difference between a horse and a mule,
hut the doubly blinded goddess favored
him AS soon as he cashed his tickets he
disappeared and deputy United States
marshal spent some time in locating him.
An Quok offered 10 divide his winnings
with Uncle Sam to be allowed to remain
here saving that he had intended to start
a laundry, but the deal was not made.

Charges False Pretenses.

Alfred Brent, colored, was before Judge
Mullowny in the Police Court today upon
an Information alleging false pretenses.
A fine of SO was imposed. According to the
testimony Brent. the proprietor of board
ing house in the northeast section OF the
city, pretended to Michael Walsh that a
pawn ticket for 81. calling for $40 watch,
was his property, when. in fact, the watch
had been seized by the police and returned
to the owner from whom II was alleged to
have been stolen.
Brent claimed that one of his boarders
who left suddenly, gave him the ticket in
pavment for a board bill. Brent also de-
MED that he was the owner of the watch,
and said that he told Walsh that the ticket
had been given to him.

Philadelphia Banks Want No More

PHILADELPHIA, January $40 prevent
a repetition in this city's financial center of
the tragedy enacted in the Fourth Street
National Bank on Saturday last and insure
the safety Of it's members from fanatics and
cranks the Philadelphia Stock Exchange
contemplates making it more difficult for
visitors to get into the galleries.
1t is now proposed to allow visitors to the
upper floor only on permission of members
of the exchange The brokers will take
definite action on the matter tomorrow.
The same feeling of insecurity as a re-
suit of the desperate act of the bomb
thrower is shared by many bankers and
brokers in the financial section. Several
of the banks yesterday redoubled their
guards while personal attendants of higher
officials were cautioned to exercise care
with strangers.
Half a dozen cranks pestered the double
guard of policemen and watchmen yester-
day when the Fourth Street National Bank
opened its doors. Rigid instructions were
issued to allow no one but depostors and
persons properly accredited to enter the
offices. One tall man. clad in shabby gray
clothing and a high hat of ancient pattern,
was the most persistent of ALL With each
arm full of books and papers the stranger
made persistent efforts to see President
Ruhton telling the guards he had an i'm
portant message for that officer. He was
finally seized by the collar and put out on
the pavement.

Train Misses Connection - Kennedy
Stops to Look for Players.
The two games, which it was hoped
kennedy's team and Waterloo would be
able to play here this morning and aft
ernoon, were not played, it being i'm
possible for all of the local players to
reach home, also for Waterloo to ar
rive. 1t is improbable had the team
arrived that Kennedy would have con-
scented to play in view Of the condition
of the team. Harris, Kent, and Middle
ton were able to catch the Northwest
ern fast mail as it pulled out of Cedar
Rapids this morning, but the others
did not make connection. They did not
arrive until too late this afternoon to
play.
Manager Kennedy stopped in Cedar
Rapids for the purpose of looking for
players. He needs a catcher and pitch
er badly. Burns is in such condition
that it is next to impossible for him to
catch, and with him disabled the team
is without a backstop The way the
southern teams have been hitting Ken
nedy's pitchers recently has sent the
manager looking for at least one more
twirler.

passed away from New York The
new electric omnibuses, with a fare Of
10 cents, have now completely replaced
the old system on Fifth avenue.
More than three-quarters of CEN
fury ago the first public stage for local
service made it's appearance in New
York. In June, 1880. morning paper
pritned the following notice:
Broadway Stage.-We saw on the
stand in Wall street this morning a
new and elegant stage, intended to run
hourly between Wall and Blocker
streets. 1t was from the mandatory
of Cartee, Mitchell Company, Newark,
n j."
In time the stages ran on all the
principal streets and connected all the
important points of the city. They
came to represent an invested capital
of more than a million dollars. In
stead of street-ca accidents and au-
tomobile collisions, people in those days
read of the stage drivers striking
against the rule compelling them to
wear tall hats or of stage coaNt1 races
between rival drivers down Broadway.
One by one the stage lines were sup
planted by street cars, and now their
last stronghold has been stormed by
the automobile"

II would like to get a pair of postal

customer in the stationery store.
Yes sir" replied the clerk, briskly.
Here's the lightest pair of scales on
| the market. They will weigh two
pounds"
You mean that when when put
You mean that when / put some
! thing which weighs a pound anda half
on them they'll weigh two pounds?"
| "Oh, no, answered the clerk. IF
| you put a pound and a half on them
they will still weigh half pound
more"
But you said they weighed half a
pounds" persisted the customer. Con
sequently, if I add a pound and half
to their own weight they'll weigh two
pounds.
"Of course" agreed the clerk. "They
will weigh two pounds"
Then if put another half pond on
them, the weight of the scales will be
exactly two pounds and a half"
THE scales weigh half al pound"
began the clerk.
But you said they weighed two
pounds" interrupted the customer
80 lHeN 10, cFleu tlle clerk, ueS-
perately. "They weigh half a pound, a
pound and half, an ounce, and two
ounces. They'll weigh anything this
side of two pounds
Are you sure they won't weigh over
two pounds?" anxiously inquired the
customer.
They won't" snapped the clerk.
I'm certain"
We'll, I only wanted to know. You
said they weighed half a pound and
two pounds, and, according to that, if l
put two pounds on the scales and add
that to the weight Of the scales, it
proves that the scales either weighs
two pounds and half or four pounds"
do you want these scales?' shrieked
the clerk.
Il wouldn't take them for gift" re-
piled the customer, quietly. "They are
entirely too versatile. One time they
weigh two pounds and the next in
slant they weigh half pound. From
my point of view they can weigh any
where from half a pound to four
pounds, and really couldn't depend on
them. Good-day."
