Residents of Spring street between
Fourth and Fifth were disturbed
about half past ten o'clock last night
by cries Of III kill you, you scoun-
drel: I'll get you II IL takes the
whole night" and the like. A tall
man with dark clothes was chasing
smaller man, who wore duck trous-
ers and a coat of light color. The
little fellow lodged around behind
dwellings and along boulevards. and
finally made good his escape A

of the neighborhood had set out on

and all. Many caught sight of them
in the bright moonlight.

ed up the pursuer and at length
found out where he lived. He call.
ed the pursuer out of his house and
asked him what the commotion was
about. The pursuer said he had
found another man with his wife.
The questioner asked him whether
he knew the man and the pursuer
said he did. The questioner then
questioned a little more closely and
was told that the pursuer's wife
and the intruder had been sit
ting I'm chairs i'm the same room.
The questioner then expressed the
opinion that IL that was all the pur.
suer had to complain of, he might
get himself into trouble for making
such a disturbance. II he knew of
the intruder committing any wrong
full act, and knew who he was, he
could get him arrested.
The pursuer said his wife was very
much excited He requested the
questioner to stay with her, while
he went to report the matter to the
police. The Questioner refused, but
stayed outside, saying that he was
not going to mix up in the trouble.
At length. however, word of the
affair reached the police, and Pa
trolman Albrecht came to investi-
gate. The questioner paid the place
a second visit when the policeman
and the husband arrived. The pa
trolman turned the search-light on

tically asked whether II was not easy
enough to see him i'm the moonlight.
without the aid of the electrical rays.
The pursuer remarked that his
wife was in a very nervous and pre-
carious condition. She was subject
to fits, and he did not like to go
into the house alone. So the police
man went I'm with him. AS there
was nothing more for the officer to
do, he left as everything was quiet.
About midnight, there were loud
screams from the house. II devel-
oped that the excitement had brought
on one of the nervous attacks to
which the woman was subject. There
appeared, however, to be no further
harm done.

That round my pathway roar,

Where women walk the streets
With no paint upon their face?
Say, can you tell a sinner from a

cheeks
With fourteen kinds of paint?

But do not daub their face

How absurd to citizens of this

no class distinctions, seems the SOL

British authorities 20 determine the
definition of a gentleman. And
equally absurd appears the finding
