A Chinese diplomat paced in robes of
lemon colored brocade the board walk
at Atlantic City.
You would be interested to see," he
said. "a Chinese cricket fight. 1t is an
Institution with us, like bulltighting in
Spain CT baseball here. The crickets
are trained like little Jack Johnsons.
Their Diet is honey aal boiled chest
nuts. with lrods and shoves they are
kept on the iump-eXercised-l
hours daily. if they get sick they are
fed with mosquitoes, IA great stimu-
lant..
The cricket pit is low tub placed
ON table. The crickets are carefully
weighed in for there ere heavy and
middle and weller classes-and they
are dropped into the ring. They rush
on one another with loud chirrups.
They fight TO a finish. Sometimes the
fight lasts five minutes, sometimes an
hour. It's end is always the same-the
death of one Of the contestants"
The diplomat smiled.
"Now, if your prizefghts," he said.
"only ended in that way. then there
could be no talk of dope phoney bust

A FRIEND IN Need

Ernest Trevor was pacing back AND
forth ucrvousiy in his Office. He hat
BOUGHT stocks by dcpositing with 3
broker 10 per cent of their value. Hu
as they had declined 10 per cent h'
had been called upon for another T.
per cent. If it were not forthcnmu
the stocks would bc sold and he WulIo
not get the benefit of Il subsequent rise
that would probably occur. In fact, h'
would be ruined.
Trevor was engaged to The daughter
of Il wealthy man who had given his
consent to the marriage on IrevorS
representation that he was worth SlUo.

representation was made. but Trevor
having been caught in the decline of
stocks. was now worth nothing Nev'
erthclcss. as he had no more funds, he
wrote note to his broker to that eff
feet and consenting to the sale Of his
security.
He was scaling the note when n mes
senger entered with a communication
from the cashier of the bank where he
kept his funds. He sighed as he tore
Off the envelope, knowing that his &C.
count was overdrawn and expecting n
notification to that effect. To his as
constituent the note read as follows:
We have to notify you that the sum OF
$4,000 has been placed to your credit in
this bank.
Mr.. Trevor's emotions may be better
imagined than described. Was it a
mistake Of the bank? Had the wrong
person been notified? He stepped to
the telephone and called up the cashier
"Who placed $4,000 to my credit"

sion to know him since the check had
been certified by a bank that was per-
fectly good. This meant that the bank
and not Mr.. Copeland was responsible.
THANK you. Goodby."
Some one must have Numbered. The
money could not possibly come from
any friend. for there was no one
among those devoted to Trevor who
could or would risk such an amount
for friendship. Nevertheless. since he
had honOrably notified the bank Of
the probable error. he had done all
that could be expected of him and
with plenty of money to his credit
did not propose to let n fortune slip
through his fingers. He tore up the
note he had written to his broker and
wrote another, inclOSing check for
5000. He stayed in his Office till 3
o'clock. expecting to get a notice FROM
the broker that the bank had. after
all. refused payment. but 10 notice
came. nor did any ever come.
Later he was obliged to send another
check for margins for $1,000. which
was also paid. When the market
turned Trevor plunged on the remain
ing $4,000 to his credit. and in the
end he not only regained what he had
lost. but trebled it. He then sent II
check for $4,000 to his bank for Mar
tin Copeland, asking the cashier to let
him know what became of it. He was
Informed that his check had been SEM
to the bank on which the Original
check to him had been drawn and had
not been returned. 1t was supposed
that Mr.. Copeland had received it.
The evening after Trevor had sent
the check to Mr.. Copeland he called
ut the house of his iancee. Miss
Eleanor Buckley, to take her to the
opera. He found Mr.. Buckley and his
daughter standing over a number of
necklaces. bracelets and other orna
mcnts from which the gems had been
extracted and were missing There
was Il scowl on the fathers face. and
the daughter WAS evidently troubled.
Trevor was Informed that Mr. Buck
ley. noticing that his daughter was
going out without her jewels. had
asked where they were. The result
WAS the production of a good deal OF
gold. but no jewels. For this she gave
no explanation.
~ this iuncture a servant entered

London, Nov. 22.-Dr. Hawley H.
.Crippen made a complete confession u
of the murder of his wife, Belle FL
more-Crippen, according to the Lon
don Times.
The Times says the confession is a
thrilling human document, replete
with the cold, callous details of the
crime which will be expiated on the
gallows tomorr6w morning by the
American physician.
1t is understood that Crippen ar
ranged to give the Evening Times his
confession in order to get money for
the care of Miss Leneve and hor un-
born child. 1t is stipulated, accord
ing to the Times, that portion of
the money must go to Crippen's faith
er in Southern California, the au-
thorities not having told the con-
demned man that his father is
dead, intending that he should be
hanged without this knowledge.

be raised at the Columbia bar this
afternoon.
According to the latest reports re-
ceived from various coast stations the
storm has abated In the North Pacific,
though the sea is still rough and q

A resume of the damage and losses

details quarrels between Crippen and
his wife over Mrs. Crippen's male ad-
mirers. Shortly before the killing
the quarrels became continuous, and
finally, his wife. becoming cognlzant
of Crippens' relations with Miss Len
eve, upbraided them both.
In January the Crippens quarreled
and Mrs. Crippen told her husband
that she intended complaining to the
authorities and cause the arrest OF
the doctor and Miss Leneve. AS a re
suit of this and the knowledge that
his wife would not divorce him in or
der to allow him to marry Miss Len
eve, 1t is said, CrIppen said he began
the plan of murder.
The reported confession says that
Crippen poisoned his wife and buried
the body starting the story that she
died in America.
Crippen, it is understood, insists
that Miss Leneve did not know of the
murder, and that her acquittal was
justified.
