SPIED ON BOARDERS
AND LETRNED-A LESSON

Pendleton boarders will smile ovel
the fate which overlook a rOOming-
house keeper in Pittsburg, who was
too inqusitive according to a dispatch
just received from that city, which
says:
1t isn't fair for the pretty star
! bOarder to fill the mattress full of
cayenne pepper in leaving the house,
in order that a peeping landlady
might get what is coming to her.
That's the decision of Magistrate Ne
gly. who fined Mrs Minnie Adley, a
member of the fashionable east end
colony, $25 and costs.
Mrs. Adley declared her landlady
Mrs. Jane Wallace, $500 Kirkwood
street, had arranged the mirrors in
her rooms so that by standing in the
halls at a certain point she could see
all that transpired in the bedroom OF
Mrs Adley, whose husband is con-
uected with a downtown bank
Mrs. Adley heard from friends
stories which forced her to believe
that certain unholy eyes had been up
on her and her husband even in the
seclusion of their bedroom. She found
after some days that the mirrors,
which were plentiful in the apart
ments, had been shifted around since
their first occupancy Of the rooms.
This aroused her suspicion, which
turned to horror on finding that any
one outside in the hall could, by the
aid of high mirrors cunningly ar
ranged, have a full view of her bed.
When arraigned for malicious mis-
chief, Mrs. Adley admitted she bad
bought pepper on leaving the house
of Mrs Wallace, and that she hal /
scattered it plentifully around where |
it would get into the eyes and nose OF |
anyone who touched anything inside
the rooms.
81 thought I'd give the old cat an |
eyeful for once" said Mrs. Adley in
tears of humiliation as she thought
OF those mirrors. "She couldn't keep .
things to herself, either, but had to
GO out and talk about me-"
Justice Negley, between bushes,
said he thought $25 would repair the
damage done by the pepper, and fined
Mrs, Adley that amount.
