The Frenci,mxn Looked Innocent

Some time since, In Il fremont street
store in Boston, j nervous little
Erenchman brushed against 4 pretty
triflc Of vase ware valued at about
S14 and succeeded in getting several
score more pieces out of it than had
gone into its making. The tloorwalker
led the abashed Partisan aside md
politely explained that the broken vase
must be paid for. Monsieur fetched 4
handful Of small silver and copper,
mostly foreign, from his pocket when
he was told the value of the trif1e.
mon Dieu," cried the Partisan, 10
francs!" AT this he took out his bill
book and discovered fifty dollar ex-
press draft, which the floorwalker H.
stantly seized upon, to the unspeak'
able horror of its owner. -
After deducting the value OF the
vase the former handed the man his
change and dismissed him with floor
walkers blessing. The express draft
reached the bank in due time, with
four others as fraudulent, but the vol
atile little Frenchman had departed
southwark with the swallows.-Bohe'

A Scene. Not IN 4 Play.

An extraordinary scene took place In
the Princess theater, London, on the
night of the first production of Charles
Reade's great play, ''Never Too Late
to Mend" Oct. 4, 1866. During the
prison scene a large quantity Of water
was thrown over Miss Moore, who took
the part Of Josephs, the character done
to death by the warders. One OF the
critics, Mr.. Tomlin Of the Morning Ad-
vertiser, rose from his seat and pub
licly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost riot
among the audience, and the action Of
the play was stopped for some con-
siderable time. Fuel was addedst0 the
IRE ~ George Vining, tie iessee of thu
theater, who was playing the part OF
Tom Robinson and who made q most
imprudent speech, in which he prac-
tically insulted every critic present,
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press for
many months. The play, however,
turned out to be popular success
and had, for those days, the phenom-
email run Of 40 performances.

THE MAZE Of NINos.
New Discoveries III Crete and &hs
Minotaur Myth. .,@'

New Discoveries III Crete and ths
- Ainotaur Myth. s@'
Every one acquainted with Greek
mythology remembers how Theseus,
the benefactor of prehistoric Greece.
went trer into Crete and with the aid of
Ariadl.e and a ball Of Irvine threaded
his way into labyrinth built for King
Minos and killed the minotaur. a por-
ton of whose food consisted of Athe-
MAN maidens. The spectacle Is now
presented of the Cretans insisting upon
being taken under the folds Of the
blue and white ensign of Greece, the
country from which once the monarch
of central Crete extorted as indemnity
the choicest specimens of human flesh
that Athens could produce for the re-
punishment Of the larder Of the fierce
man-buN
Minos, according to Greek mythol-
ogy, was the son Of Zeus and Europa.
The wife Of Minos was Pasiphae.
Ariadne being their daughter. Pasi-
phae gave birth to the minotaur, a
man-bull. This tabled monster was
imprisoned in labyrinth designed for
Minos and built by Daedalus, tabled
sculptor. The minotaur lived upon hu-
man food. Minos, having conquered
the Athenians, demanded a yearly trib--
ute Of seven youths and seven maid
ems to be served up to the minotaur.
Thesus, an Athenian, ranking next to
Hercules among the Greek heroes, on
one occasion was sent to Crete with
the tribute. Ariadne fell in love with
the youthful Thesus and assisted him
BY means Of a ball Of Irvine to enter
the labyrinth safely. He slew the MI
notaur and was enabled to escape
again. This relieved the Athenians Of
the future payment Of human tribute.
1t used to be thought that this story
and many of the others recounted IN
the Homeric period as well as Minos
himself were myths. Recently archae-
illogical discoveries In Crete, however.
have served more than to suggest that
the stories have historical founda-
ton. Not only the capital Of Minos,
but his palace, his throne and now 4
labyrinth which may well have been
devised by a real Daedalus have been
discovered in the ruins Of Knossos, In
the center of the island. Many carv-
ings indicate that bulls figured In the
rites Of the inhabitants Of that Old
world palace, and men and women are
shown taking part in the sports, which
possibly were connected with the woe-
ship Of some cruel deity to whom hu-
man sacrifice was offered in this form.
Perhaps this Is the origin Of the story
Of the feeding Of the minotaur with
human dainties.-New York Tribune.

Readino In Bed.

3Boys and girls under eighteen
should be strictly forbidden to read in
bed" says the Lancet, on the author
ity OF DR.. Hugo Feilchenfeld Of Ber-
I'm, who declares that In the case OF
young persons whose eyes are not
fully developed the practice is likely
to induce myopia. While young peo-
pie run the greatest risk, the Lancet
thinks that reading In bed is unde-
sirable for persons Of any age and
states that "in the case Of aged, anx-
ious, worried and bedridden people, to
whom it would seem cruelty to deny
what may perhaps be almost their
only luxury, for fear Of inducing some
slight error Of refraction, care should
be taken that the light Is sumciently
brilliant, the eyes being shaded from
it, and that the patient lies on his
back with head and shoulders raised"

W[MPF CHILDREN
TO PRESS LAWSUIT
New Development in SquabbIe
of Descendants of Wealthy
Box Manufacturer
Mrs. Lorigan Would Administer
Estate of Her Dead Sister,
Mrs. Norman

That the litigation between the chill
dren and grandchildren of The late
Henry Wempe, the wealthy paper box
manufacturer, is to be pressed through
the courts was indicated yesterday
when a petition was filed by Mrs.
Teresa Lorigan for letters of adminis-
trations- on the estate. of her sister
Mrs. Elizabeth Norman, granddaugh-.
ter of Wempe. Mrs Norman died last
April in Blanchester, o. She is sur
vived by Heber Leroy Norman, her hus-
band, and by John Ellery Norman, a
months old son.
Mrs. Norman was one of the seven
children of Henry L. Wempe a son of
Henry Wempe The death of Henry
years ago, and his son, Henry L.
Wempe. died soon arterward 1t is
claimed by the seven children of Henry
J.. Wempe that the portion of their
grandfathers estate which should have
been distributed to them after the
death of their father was retained by
the sister and two brothers of their
father. Mrs. Elizabeth Ottens and Will
liam and Gerhard Wempe. Nearly two
years ago they began suit against Will
liam and Gerhard Wempe and Mrs
had kept the business and property in
their own hands and had failed to ac-
count to Henry L. Wempe's children
for the share due them. An account
ing was asked for. The entire Wempe
estate is said to be worth about $780,
600. Mrs. Ottens died recently in San
Rafael
The petition of Teresa Lorigan states
that no part of the estate of Henry
Wempe has been distributed or admin
istered, and that neither the value nor
character thereof can be ascertained
until the termination of the suit for
recovery of shares. In order that the
litigation may be pressed it is neces-
sary that an administrators of the
estate of Mrs. Norman be appointed
in this state. The husband is ineligible,
being a resident of Ohio, and therefore
the sister, Mrs. Lorigan, makes the
petition.

JUDGES Differ ON
ANTI-GAMBLING ACT
Houston and NewIands' Case Is
Dismissed, as There Was
No Stakeholder
Charles Schwartz Held for Trial
Under Precisely Similar
Conditions

The case Of Albert Houston and John
j. Newlands. charged with violating
the OTIS Walker anti-gambling act
was dismissed by Police Judge Deasy
Yesterday on motion of Assistant At
torney Bloch. They were arrested at
the baseball grounds while making a
bet on the result of a game.
Bloch in making his motion said
there was insufficient evidence TO sus-
tsin the charge in the complaint. The
TWO defendants made a bet on the re-
suit of the game between themselves
and the loser paid over the money to
the winner. There was no stakeholder
and in his opinion a bet between two
men where there is no stakeholder did
not come within tie provisions of the
act. The Judge in dismissing the case
said:
IL agree with the assistant district
attorney that there must be a stake
holder TO bring the case within the pro-
visions Of the act. II seems to me
that mere bet between two indi-
riduals on the result Of a game where
one masses the money over 10 the Olnet
is not violation Of the act AS
understand ii there is no allegation in
this case that the money was held by
Il stakeholder"
Judge Sh0rtau in the case Of Charles
Schwartz. who was held for trial a
few DAYS ago. apparently holds a diff
ferent opinion. Schwartz, who is a
book maker bet ~ to / with John
LieboId on the result Of the game and
Lieb0ld won, Schwartz paying him
81 Liebold having wagered 81. In
this case there was no stakeholder,
Schwartz paying the money direct to
Liebold who was also arrested, but
the case against him was dismissed. as
he gave testimony for the prosecution.
ReverSeS Dealers Conviction
The conviction in the police court of
Edward Fitzgerald, a Jessie street
cigar dealer. Of violating the city or
dinance against betting by taking a
wager on horse race, was reversed
by Judge Conley yesterday on appeal
The ordinance under which the con-
nicti0n was obtained has since been
repealed by virtue OF the passage Of a
state anti-betting law
The state law went into effect while
Fitzgerald's appeal was pending. and
according TO a supreme court decision
cited by Attorney J. J. Greeley this

Riction.
