An Unrehearsed incident.

The presence of mind Of a certain
well known actor was always very
remarkable, but was never put to
so severe a test as on the following
occasion:
While acting the part of a pirate
chief he was being conveyed in a
vessel across the stage with his band
of brigands on deck beside him
One of the supers, whose dnty il
was to work the waves under large
sheets of gauze, unfortunately hap
pened to put his head through the
gauzc and appeared standing in the
middle of the mimic sea before the
full view Of the audience.
The actor on the vessel, without
losing his presence of mind. called
ont. ~ man overheard" and the
astonishcl super was hauled upon
deck b. the pirates amid the APP
plausc of the spectators. who mag
med it was a part Of the play.

RACE CHARACTERISTICS.
Legend Of the Broken Devil and It's In.
fluenee Upon Mankind.

The personifed devil has had
many queer stories told regarding
himself and his doings, but it is
doubtful if there is a more curious
one than that known to the CLEAN
ers of madiaeval folklore as the
Legend of the Broken Devil" Ac-
cording to the story, which is given
in kinsey's "Book of European
Myths" and also in Blossoms "Scan-
dinavian Folklore" when the devil
was cast out of heaven he struck the
earth, at a place in the Swiss Alps
which to this day bears the name
of Devils Light. Judging from the
broken place in the mountain,
which is about one half mile wide
by four miles long, the fall was not
only 'far and swift" but the devil
was a pretty good size.
The indentation in the mountain
is not the only result of the fall
Tor rather the "light"), if we are to
believe the legend. According to
the story the poor devil was broken
into four different pieces, and each
of those four pieces rolled off in a
different direction. The "head,
horns and horrid bloodshot eyes"
rolled off into savage country, which
in later times was named Spain.
The heart, which SLOWLY pulsated
for years and at each rise and fall
gushed torrents of blue black
BLOOD" lodged in a mountain gorge
in country which has since been
named Italy. The stomach, "horrid
machine for grinding infants bones
ard generating sulphurous flames
which were from time to time
bc!ched ont between the fanglike
teeth" found Judgment in Germany,
and the feet, (which never yet had
troddcn the horrid paths of hell,
bat were cloyen for such awful pur-
poscs," did not stop after the break
until they reached the center of
France.
The people of those four different
countries Immediately began to wor-
ship tie parts OF the devil which
Lad alighted in their respective ter
ritory. and since that day the Span
iards have been naughty, the Itali-
ans aroTons. the Germans gluttons
and the French treat dancers.

JUDICIAL BUBBLES.
Little Things That Have Shifted the
Course Of the Law.

Readers of Samuel Warren's
"Ten Thousand Year" will re-
member how property of that
value changes hands-frst, be-
cause a conveyance bore stamp of
insufficient value; second, because
the clerk who engrossed it made a
blot on the parchment and then
scratched it out. This was a "ma-
terial erasure." Truth is at least as
strange as Warren's fiction. A ia
nous Scotch judge once refused to
receive a deed because the. word
"justice" was there spelled without
the final &C." while another unlucky
copying clerk lost a most important
case for his employer by speaking
of the sheriffs of London and Mid
dlesex, for the shrievalty is really
single Office, though always held
conformity by two persons.
Still more striking is the famous
suit of Dovaston versus Payne, duly
recorded by Sir Frederick Pollock
in Leading Cases Done Into
Verse" Payne had impounded
some of Doyaston's cattle W .ich had
strayed through a broken hedge on
his land. Dovaston, bringing an ac-
ton for their recovery, was unfor-
tunate enough to describe them as
being Simply ''in' the highroad:
They were in it; they erred and escaped
thereout
Where Payne should of right amend the
way.
To this Payne replied:
For aught he hath said they were there
of wrong
(Fair and free is the kings highway.
For If they were passing through and
along.
Not word thereof does his pleading
say.
Ard IL the hedge must needs repair
GHair and f:Ce is the kings highway.
Why. that is for such that of right are
there.
Not for folk or beasts who idly stray.

PENDANT.
But the law has been guilty of
strange escapaGes much nearer our
own time. In February, 1871,
"Ba!ak!ava" Lord Cardigan was
tried by his peers for shooting Cap
tain Harvey Tucker in a duel. BY
some strange mischance. however,
the deceased was described in the
indictment as Captain Harvey
Phipps Tucker, and the defense
therefore rested its case on the fact
that no such person had existed
the dead man having been simply
christened Harvey and bearing no
surname but Tucker. Thereupon
Chief Justice Denman, lord high
steward, told. the peers that they
must acquit the prisoner, and this
they proceeded to do-all except the
last Duke Of Cleveland, who insisted
on voting "Not guilty legally, upon
my honor. "-Viscount st. Cyres in
Cornhill Magazine.

Curious Seeds.

Mr.. Bennett had an embarrass-
ing habit of bringing unexpected
guests home to luncheon, and the
family larder was not always equal
to the strain. On one such occasion
Mrs. Bennett was obliged to re-en-
force the rather scanty menu with
something from her store of pre-
serves.
Hastily Selling a jar of goose
berry jam. the good woman emp
tied it into a glass dish and placed
it on the table.
A little later the guest, who for
some moments had been regarding
with puzzled interest his saucer of
jam, looked up to PROFOUND ques-
ton.
Il beg your pardon" said he,
but would you mind telling me
what fruit this excellent preserve
is made of? The favor is delicious,
but | can't call to mind any fruit
with seeds like these"
Mrs. Bennett leaned forward to
inspect the seven little round OBJ
jects on the guests plate.

claimed. "rhose are the marbles /

from burning. l forgot to take

A southern politician told Of an
incident in connection with slight
earthquake that visited one of the
gulf states not so many years ago.
The shaking Of the earth was dis
tinctly felt all over the state, but
especially in the state capital. The
legislature was in session at the
time. and nearly every member
thereof ran out Of the statehouse
when that structure began to eyince
a disposition to turn itself over.
OF course there was an end to legis-
lative proceedings for that day.
When the body had reconvened it
was found that some member Of a
grimly humorous turn had made an
entry on the journal Of the legis-
lature in these words: "0n motion

FAIRBANKS IN

VICE PRESIDENT HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Distinguished Party Returning from

Severely Injured
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.-Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks and a distinguished
party of court officials of this city
were in wreck on the Baltimore &
Ohio tonight at Weaverton, Md, in
which Fireman Clarkson was severely
injured and the pass engers were badly
shaken. The vice president, as well
as those who accompanied him, escaped
injury. He was in the private car of
President Murray of the Baltimore &
Ohio.
The party was on special train re-
turning to Washington from Hagers-
town, Md, where they had been to at
tend the funeral of the late Judge
Louis E. McComas of the court OF ap-
peals of the District of Columbia. On
leaving Weaverton the switchman left
the special on blind switch, resulting
in the engine being ditched.
The sudden stop and the roar of es-
Gaping steam from broken pipes under
the private car threw the occupants
into a panic, but quiet was soon re-
stored, and it was found that beyond a
severe shaking no one was injured~

Approach of One of Teachers Fright

He Had Secured Considerable
Money and VaIuabIes

The Marlborough school at 6S6 West
Adams street, fashionable boarding
school for girls and young women, was
entered by burglars last night and three
rooms were robbed while the girls were
at dinner.
An entrance was effected by the burg
lar through a rear window on the second
floor which he gained by the use of a
ladder which painters had been using
during the day.
From a long hallway, which opened on
the window, the man had access to a
large number of dormitories and apart
ments of the students AS there was no
one on watch in that part of the house
at that particular hour the fellow had
time to work the entire wing of the
building, except, for the accidental re-
turn to that part of the house by Miss
Wingate, one of the teachers, whose ap-
proach evidently frightened him away.
The room of Miss Jean Lindsay had
been entered, however, and Sl2 stolen.
Miss Bessie Whitcomb. adjoining, lost a
gold watch and a necklace chain of gold
links Miss Harriet Stryker was robbed
of $5 in cash and a few articles of
jewelry.
The man was frightened away before
he was able to accomplish the robbery
of any of the other rooms.
The robberies were reported to the po-
lice, but no clues were obtained,
