At 2 o’clock Sunday morning Captain
Gladstone arrested:James Davis alias
James Lewis on suspicion. At the
time of his arrest he had on a good suit
of clothes and was carrying a mackin-
=tosh, two coats and tWo vests. When
arrested he told half a dozen different
stories of how he had Obtained the
«clothing and where he came from. It
now appears that Lewis was employed
.as a washer at Henry Carstesen’s livery
stable in Bridgeport, and late Saturday
night broke open a locker in the stable
and stole the clot ring which belonged
- to one of the men employed there. The
first the Bridgeport police knew of his
capture was when he arrived at the
Bridgeport jail, having been sent there
for 10 days by Judge Hubbell fer vag-
rancy. -
A local physician enjoyed a joke at
the eXpense of Captain Gladstone, last
night. The doctor was riding his wheel
down Washington street when he saw
the athletic form of the lynx-eyed de-
tective standing on the sidewalk. The
doctor removed his hat and placed it
over the lantern on his bicycle and
waited for deveIOpments. The quick
eye of “Glad" saw the wheel Coming
idown the street apparently without, a
light. "Hejumped into the street and
raisIug both hands exclaimed, “Hold
up there l What are you doing without.
a light ?" The doctor slowed down and
quietly rem Ive-i the hat from the Ian-
tern and placed. it ,upoI- his head.
“What’s the matter?” he inquired.
“Nit! ” replied the Captain, as he
gamd at the stars singing together in
the northern skies and twirie’d his‘
ocust up the street.

Every Man Has His Pet Remedies for His
Own Diseases.
It is extremely interesting and in a
degree encouraging to those who hold
mind-cure theories to see how sensible
people the world over have their cure-
alls—widely different remedies for the
same diseases—and give universal testi-
mony to the entire efficacy of these
remedies, says the Boston Transcript.
One person fights off biliousness, an-
other dySpepsia, and another rheuma-
tism by eating an orange every night
Just before going to bed. Another efiect- ‘
ually discourages all three of these dis-
eases by swallowing every night a-table-
spoonful of sweet oil before retiring;
another takes _a. tumblerful of water at
that hour as hot as he can drink it, and
founds his immunity from various dis-
eases on that.
Not long ago at a public banquet,
when several diners were groaning
over their dreadful colds. a doctor pres-
ent said that no one living need ever
have a cold; that he himself had not
had a. vestige of a. cold for twenty-five
years, whereas before that time he was
continually suffering from them. When
all the company bent to hear what won—
dcrful remedy he had discovered, he
declared that what he did was simply
to drink a. glass of mineral water every
night before going to bed.
A well-known Boston physician keeps
his patients in health by making them
go without underclothes winter and
summer, and he would doubtless scout
the mineral-water remedy Still an-
other mnkcs his people sleep in two
flannel nightgowns and under five
blankets, but makes them open all
their windows, so that the air and tem-
perature in their rooms are exactly the
some as they are out of doors. We have
all heard of the Paris specialist who
had a. theory that, since—in his view—
the primitive race from which man is
descended went on all fours, it is necs-
snry if we wish to “get back to nature,”
in order to secure or restore our health,
to get down and travel upon our hands
and feet a certain portion of the day.
He made all his patients take active x:
ercise for an hour or two each day ori’
all fours. and the strange part of the
matter was that it effected some won-
derful cures.

For a. Time, Howevor, She Much Enjoyed
lls AI-quaintanco.
Yarns of adventure on the road are in
order now that the traveling players
are at home again. One that a. New
York actress tells about herself is of
her visit to a. splendid natatorium in a
city on the Pacific coast. It is a. famous
place and one of the sights of the town.
It. is illuminated at night by electricity
and a. visit to it was 'arranged by a.
party of friends in the company after a
performance. A swim was the regula-
tion thing to do on arriving, and soon
the party were splashing about in the
water. This particular little woman
at all at home as a. mer-
maid, and she ‘ was floundering
about rather badly when a man
near her, whose fine swimming
had already attracted her attention.
came to her with some valuable sug~
gestions. His face was familiar to her,
and as they had come out in carriages
with one or two stranger guests, she
assumed this was one of her party
whom she had barely met. She grate-
fully availed herself of his directions,
and as he was an expert swimmer and
splendid athlete his aid was both effi-
cient and agreeable. When, however,
the party reassembled after dressing it
was rather a blow to discover that her
water friend, was, on land, the driver
of the carriage in which she had ridden
to the place. -

All last- Winter Mr Geo.yiA." Mills‘,_of
Lebanon, Conn, was badly afflicted with
rheumatism. 1 At times it was so severe that
he could not stand up straight, but was
drawn over on one side. ~ “I tried different
remedies without receiving relief,” he says,
“until about six months ago I bought a. bot-
tle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. After using
it for three days my rheumatism was gone
and has not returned since”. For sale by E.
