newspapers in general and the Morn

he was challenged by the editor of the
Chronicle. Black was practiced duel

A gang of swindlers in Toulouse had
for stock in trade beautiful antique
cabinet and considerable stock of au-
dacity. With these they took for a
short lease historic chateau near
Toulouse installing venerable old
lady to play the part Of owner. Then
they found a collector of antiques. per-
suaded him to visit the chateau and
sold him the really valuable cabinet at
good round price. After the bargain
was concluded they invited the victim
to lunch, and while he was eating the
meal the real cabinet was replaced by
perfect imitation, which the victim
carried off with him. The swindlers
before their arrest succeeded in selling
their cabinet thirty-three times at

The music lovers of Mt. Vernon,

greatly appreciated. These young
musicians are graduates of the
Conservatory of music and proved
themselves to be finished artists
both in their solo and ensemble
numbers. The program was wei /
chosen and given with assurance
and thorough understanding.
Miss Crosby showed temperament
and artistic discretion in her cello
solos and her playing called forth
unbounded admiration. Miss
Smith played the violin with deep
musical feeling and intelligence.
Miss Shairler is an unusually bril-
liant pianist and an excellent &C.
