ht luIlNWIllR IN lIblu lllC uO son Star of Wednesday:
 Quick action on the part of a member of lhe city police force saved several hundred dollars worth of j-wplry for Mrs Joseph k Wise. f Gala basas, at the south ern Pacific depot yesterday, but despite the efforts of the officer q fine diamond ring was lost.
 Mrs. Wise aud her husband had heen waiting at the depot and Mrs. Wise laid her handbag containing considerable j-welrv on the seat he side her. Mr Wise stepped out to he depot platform and his wife soon followed, leaving the bag on the seat. She returned in a very short time, but the bag had disap- peared.
 Officer Sullivan was on the plat. form and was notified of the loss of the bag. He made a search and finally discovered it stuffed down into basin in a toilet room. An examination of the bag revealed the fact that the jrwelry was all there with the exception of two diamond rings, one of them large and valuable one.
 The policeman, Mir. Wise and other srarchers looked everywhere for the missing rings and kept the others standing around under q close surveillance. Finally a wo. man who had been in the depot w4s seen walking hastily away and Officer sullivan followed her. When she reached a safe distance, as she thought, the woman was seen to stoop and put something in her stocking. The policeman then asserted his authority and made her roll the stocking down. The ring was not found at the time, hut was later picked up at the point where the officer made the search. It'prnved to be the smaller and less valuable ring and had evidently dropped when the stock ing was rolled down. The other ring is believed to have gone into the woman's shoe.
 Mir. Wise refused to have the woman arrested and she got away before a closer search could he made. The police say the woman who i- supposed to have the ring came from Casa Grande.

THE COURT NEWsMAN.
Money in JOB Of Telling of Doing
Of British Royalty.

Tie official news of the conllngS
and goings ~ the king and queen. the
names Of their visitors, the descrip-
ton Of their dresses at courts and
other Information originating in the
royal palaces is distributed by the
Court Circular. There is an official
reported called the court ncwsman
who gets up the circular every day
and distributes it to the London and
provincial newspapers and press as
sOciations.
The newspapers have to pay for the
Court Circular and it is believed the
court newsnan makes as much as
$4,000 a year from his office. He has
to be very careful in preparing his
copy. aud he gets into hot water
whenever a name is mispelled or d
title misplaced. The late King Ed
ward was wont to use strong Ian
guage whenever he. discovered a
blunder in the Court Circular. es-
pecially if the names Of any of his
friends happened to be misspelled.
A weekly newspaper says of the
origin of the Court Circular that like
50 many other useful institutions the
= ouTC (lFcul6r arose Out OF an abuse,
For duripg the days when George ~
was prince regent SO much gossip and
scandal concerning the royal family
crept into the press that the prince
was driven to appeal to his friend Sir
Richard BRINE to find some one who
would draw up day by day an anthem
". dlsnitied and discreet epitome of
the doings of the court and send it to
the press.
In the light Of modem journalism it
j par icularly interesting to note that
Sir Richard Birnies choice for the
flrst editor of the Court Circular fell
upon an old family retainer common
" known as Old Townsend, who prior
to his appointment as court news
vendor had bee a shoeblack, a coal
HEAVIER, turnkey at Newgate and Of
1lcer at Bow street police station
nevertheless. Old Townsend per-
formed his new duties SO successfully
that the Court Circular was very soon
adopted by almost every court in

DOG TRAMPS 140 MILES.
WelIman's Cat Had Nothing on THIS
Canine.

If you've ever felt the panGs OF
inconsistencies and have longcd for the
uuict of a small town in contrast 10
the hustle and hustle of big city,
your sympathy will go out to Dewey'
IL white bulldog. who, pining for ms
personal soft spot behind meat mar
ket stove in La Crosse, Wis, walked
the entire distance from st. Paul to
that city. a dispatch FROM La Crosse
tells of the arrival there of the dog,
which is the property of Oscar Baum.
a ST Paul meat cutter. who formerly
lived in the Wisconsin city.
Dewey is now sleeping behind the
stove in the meat marekt in La
Crosse which his master formerly
owned Although Mr. Baum brought
the dog to St Paul in the express car
of alast limited train and offered nm
all kinds of inducement and delicacies
not to be had in a small town, Dewey
was not happy.
II eran away and appeared unex-
pectedly at his old home Monday.
Wagging his short tail furiously. he
scratched and whined for admittance.
The 40 miles he had tramped had
made him footsore and weary his
tongue was hanging far out of his
mouth and he was painting. Dewey's
eyes were bright. however. And he
was not too tired to yawn in friend
~ manner at his old and trusted
friend. the market cat
When his master tclephoned from
st. Paul tina the would go to La
Crosse to get him. the gaunt little
lighting pet was sleeping the peacetul
sleep of the weary. Between his paws
was adiscarded bone. and the satisfied
grin on his battle-sCarred face told
more plainly than words tina the pre-
ferred meager bone in La Crosses to
4 porterhousc steak in ST Paul.
Mr.. Baum hopes that the dog will
grow to like St. Paul.-St. Paul Dis
