There was a .good attendance, making up five tables. The first prize was secured by Mrs. John Ferris and the consolation by Mrs. Philip G. Sanford. ‘ Joseph Genzy appeared before Judge Frost in the Town Court this morning charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace.

Chief of Police Vollmer received a telephone message from Chief Birming? ham, of Bridgeport, yesterday after. noon stating that a bicycle had been stolen in that city and that they thought 'the thief was coming this way. Chief Vollmer immediately placed an officer at the east end ofthe Washington street bridge and notified all of the ‘local' agencies and wheelmen, so that it was almost impossible for the thief to have passed throughthis city without being captured. The wheel is described as follows: A ’96 WolfeAm-erican, No. 6,333, and black enamelled handle bars. The Chief thinks the thief must have taken a train from some town east of this city.

A prosperous New Yorker who passed the summer in Asheville has brought back a. good story of his own carelessness and Southern confi- dence in human nature. He is an ab- sent-minded person, Who often takes thought of important matters too late. He reached the Asheville station on his return to find that he had less than $10 in his purse. There was not a moment to lose. go; his wife and daughter were to join him at Charlotte, and to postpone the trip was out of the question. He invested all the money he had in a ticket which insured his passage only as far as Salisbury. “I was flat broke,” he says in tell- ing his story, “and I felt like a trump stealing a ride, but my gloom was il- luminated by the cheerful hope that my wife and daughter had been econ- omical enough to save from their al- lowance the money to pay for our passage to Washington, at least. Vainhope! They got on the train penniless and hungry, without even a ticket. “Railroads don’t do business on the credit system, and on that short ride between Charlotte and Salisbury my hair nearly turned gray. Any pros- pect is more fascinating than that, of being put off, penniless, in a North Carolina mountain town at nearly midnight,. with a helpless wife and daughter to look after. I was des- perate. My brain Whirled in a furi- ous endeavor to evolve some solution. The train stopped at Salisbury. I ran up to the ticket window,, where a cool-looking fellow was presiding. I went at him with desperation. “ ‘My dear fellow,’ I said, ‘I am in a terrible fix—busted. My wife and daughter are on that train, and we’re obliged to go on to New York tonight. Can’t you take my check for three tickets?’ “He eyed me,.cool as ice, and sold and stamped three 40—ceut tickets to some way station. Then he turned to give some fellow information about the‘midnight train. It seemed an eter- nity before he turned again to. me. Then he said laconically: ‘Guess so,’ and proceeded to stamp the tickets. “I just dropped. My hand trembled so I could hardly sign a check. I’m going to do something nice by that young fellow.” He was Whistling, and she didn’t like it. “I wish,” she said, “when you are walking with me you wouldn’t whistle. It is extremely rude.” “I am whistling for want of thought,” he replied, with evident intent to be very crushing. “If that’s what it’s for,” she- remarked, “I think I may say without fear of successful contra- diction by any one who knows you. that you. don’t have to.” Then he stopped—Texas Sifter. All last: Winter Mr Geo.’ A. Millsficor‘ Lebanon, Conn, was badly afflicted with rheumatism. 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. r-J/Veedunssie/ ‘w—r w He was obliged to. , to consider barks at sear-New Orleans THE EXENING‘fi- fi'H'U‘M'o‘R' OF THE WEEK.
