Farmer Brown Says He Swindledz
Him Out of $2,000.
Worcester, -Mass., Nov. 29. —Charles R.
Brown, a wealthy tamer of Gardiner.
Mass, has identified the man confined
In W'orcester jail under the name of
John Reed as one of two who buncoed
him out of $2, 000 cash at his place in
Gai diner about Nov. 1. They played the
ald three- card game, and let Brown win
$1,000. He drew $2, 000 out of the bank
to add to his capital for a later session
at the cards, and placed all in a box
provided by one of the bunco shar.ps
He took the box home with him to din—
ner, intending to return and play
further in the afternoon. At the din-
ner hour he became curious to see the
money he had won, and broke open the
box. It contained the usual stone
wrapped in a newspaper and a letter
advising him to quit gambling. Reed
and an associate who escaped tried to,
work the same dodge in Harvard two
weeks ago, and the town constable got
after them. Reed drew a revolver and
escaped. but was ariested in Clinton
an hour latei. He was fined for gam—
bling, and is held in heavy bonds to
await the action of the Grand Jury for.

rest of Reed in case he should get bail.
He is wanted in connection with a $5,-
000 bunco game at Stafford Springs,

$9.300 at Bridgewater, Mass, in addi-
ti-in to the Gardiner job. The six jobs

the pair in three months, so far as is
known, is $22,500. The officers aFe un-

COUNT BADENI RESIGNS.
The the
Emperor Also Declares
l.e1chsrath Adjourned.
(Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.)
Vienna, Nov. 29.—The return to this
city of Emperor Francis Joseph from
Walsee, where he was visiting his
daughter, has been immediately fol-
lowed by two steps which hate in view
the ending of the Parliamentary pande-
monium and the solving of the govern-
ment deadlock. The first step was the
publishing of an imperial letter to
:‘ount Badeni, the Prime Minister, de-
zlaring the Reichsrath adjourned. The
second step was an announcement
made at 3 o’clock yesterday morning
from the steps of the Parliament build—
lng. by Dr. Lueger, the well-known
Anti—Semite leader in the Reichsrath
and Burgomaster of Vienna, who
shouted to the crowd in front of the,
building: “Badeni has just given his:
resignation. The people‘s will is fu1-.
tilled.” i
The people were Jubilant when they
heard of the retirement of the Prime
Minister, and they gave vent to their
feelings by waving their hats- and:
shouting "Hochl" Dr. Lueger had an
audience with the Emperor, who told
him of Count Badeni’s resignation and
of his acceptance of it. I
Dr. Baron De Gautsch von Franken—T
th—urn, at present Minister of Public In-1
struction and Ecclesiastical Affairs,1
will succeed Count Badeni. I
The news of the resignation of the
Prime Minister kept the Ring-strasse

cialist workmen and German students
rejoicing, boasting and arguing, instead
of taking part in violently demonstra-
tive processions, with which the day-

In the Arctic ice off Point Barrow, and
down the Alaskan coast in the direction
of the Mackenzie River, where those of
the Whalers whose positions are not
known are supposed to be, are eleven
New England men, most of whom are
well known to the seafaring men of
this city. Among them are Capt. A. C.
Sherman master of the steam bark
Orca and First Mate T. L. Ellis both

the best- known sailing masters in this
part of the country, and as he has Win-

ried. His mother-ln-law, Mrs. Ebenezer

Saturday will fare worse than the sail—I

Mock Hanging Became Real. ;
Reading. Nov. 29.—Harry Hendricks;
aged 15 years, with a number of other
boys, were playing about a. stable at:
Dewnington Saturday engaged in the
game of “banter.” One boy proposed
a hanging match. Young Hendricks
agreed, and dared his companions to.
follow his example. A halter was pro-=
cured, and Harry, by means of a stool;
hnounted to the crossbeams, around one
end of which he fastened the piece of
harness, tying the other end around his
throat. He smiled at the group below;,
and they shouted in glee. Suddenly
Harry’s feet slipped, and he fell with
a shriek, which was strangled in his
throat by the band that tightened
about his neck and cut into the flesh.
The other boys in horror fled for help.
A man quickly responded and cut the
boy down. Drs. Tyndell and Kerr, after
an examination, said that the boy’s
neck was broken. He was carried home
in a dying condition.

WHERE PULLMAN 'GOT HIS START.
Simeon Mayor Gave Him Credit for Lum-
ber to Build His Sleeprrs.
George M. Pullman received his first
real start in life from a man known
all over the United States in the lum-
ber trade. This man was once one of
the, largest lumber merchants in the
United States.
His name is Simeon Mayo.
Early in the 60s Pullman ‘v as a book—
keeper in Chicago, wheie Mayo W15

Pullman’s employer, and thus met 1 -3

then very crude, but Mayo believed in
it. Pullman perfected his scheme and
wanted to build some cars, but he 11".ch
not the money to pay for the lizmteI'.
Mayo gave him all the credit he wgnt—
ed, after Pullman had failed to get it
elsewhere. Thus the man who hasjust
died worth millions was able to devel-
op the idea that made him rich and
carried his name all over the world.

POPULARITY AND A SLAP.
The Queen Showed She Could Chustise
Her Son Like Any Uther Mother.
One of the incidents that conduced
to give the Queen temporary populari-
ty in Ireland was this. She and the
Prince, with the Prince of Wales and
Prince Alfred, were driving in their
roomy carriage 'to Mr. Dargan’s Exhi-
bition. The streets and Windows were
thronged. There were only bright
faces, and the air was filled with
cheers. She bowed very affably; the
. Prince held his hat a little before his
forehead, and hardly bowed. The
Prince of Wales took off his cap with a
white band and held it rather graceful-
ly, as if to show that he should «have
bowed were the Queen not present.
Prince Alfred looked a little sulky and
kept his cap on his head. The Queen
did not appear to see him, but she did.
She whipped the cap off his head with
one hand, ‘and with the other gave him
such a slap in the face. It was done in
an instant. and withbut any change of
tountenance. Thundering cheers mark-I
ed the approval of the multitude—Con-
temporary Review. ,.
Afi‘riendi’y Bar Examination.
A Georgia correspondent sends us
this account of a young man’s oral ex-
amination for the bar by a local com-
mittee before an old judge, who was
also an old acquaintance of the candi-
date: Being asked, “What is arson?"
he scratched his head and finally said,
"I‘believe that’s pizon, ain’t it?”
On this, the old judge, to 'help him
out, says, “Tut, tut, Jim. Suppose I
were to set fire to your house and burn
it down, what would that be?”
With quick and emphatic reply, Jim
says,,“I think it would be a dad dratted
mean trick.” '
But although this answer'.:was not
technically accurate, Jim was in the
hands of his friends and was honora-
bly admitted—Case and Comment.
