BE VAMPED .RBRIT. A Detected Defaulter Suicides Rather Than Go to Trial, Albany, N. Y., despittoh eays : Joseph B. Abbott, ohief Baleelnall end confidential clerk of the lumber firm of H. W. Sage ds Co., Of tbie city, committed suicide some time during Wednesday night, in a room in a building adjoining the Windsor Hotel. He hired the room on Wedneeday evening. Thie afternoon hie dead body was found fully dreesed upon the bed. A four -ounce bottle of laudanum, half emptied, told the etory. He had been dead many hours. With the news of his death spread the re- port that he was a defaulter. It was soon confirmed. The firm refuges information, but it is aseertained from other sources that Abbott bad appropriated between 080,000 and $100,000 of the firm's funds, probebly by pocketing large collections and falsifying'the books, He preotioally managed the entire business, and there- fore had ample opportunity to steal. The discovery was made when the firm of Reilly dt Co., of Philadelphia, sent back bills aggregeting $20,000, which a member of the Sage firm had sent on for collection, with the statement thet payment had been made to Mr. Abbott. That was on Tues- day. On Wedneeday a representative of the Philadelphia firm arrived and the mattee was given Into the hands of the local police. Somehow Abbott got an inkling of something amiss, end left his desk, The detectives seerehed for him all day Wednesday, but failed to find him, though he was in the city. Abbott was about 40 years of age, a widower and father of five children, the oldest of whom, a girl, is 15 years of age. Hie he,bite were extravagant, and though his salary was 85,000 a year, his friends had long wondered how he could live as he did within that sum. Furthermore, he gambled. Playgrounds for the Children. Montreal Star: An atemoiation has been started in New York to provide playgrounds for 'the children of the eity. Swings, wooden blocks, the original sendbank and other things known to have irresistible attractions for the young, are to be pro- vided and welhooneidered efforts made to overcome the evil influence of the etreets. The idea is wisely based on principles inherent among youngsters. Pablio play- grounds are a necessity, as everybody knows who has a garden or an orchard within a city. From the street arab, the thief, the burglar, certainly the hoodlum, too often develop. There is, therefore, great practical wisdom in trying to "catch them young" by natural means and devices suited to draw them, without apparently intending it, into lines that will imperceptibly lead to the adoption of careers of nsefulnese. The best way to reform the world is to take good care of the children. Rev. ler. Luke. Moody on Luke: Luke is a man I like. He is another one of those who kept mit of sight. He is quiet and unobtrusive. He didn't go around selling his pictures after he had acquired fame, or style himself Dr. Luke. Don't you people do it either. He put himself last, and when it became necessary to mention his own actions he said 'we' or Ms.' It wasn't Luke, Hie name is only mentioned three times in the Bible. He never put himself forward, When he wrote his book it was not for his own glorification. He opened with a song of praiee to God, and dined with a hymn of praise. On the whole it is a pretty good thanksgiving book. A Blow to a Bottle Ring. Justices Day and Lawrence on Wednes- day held, in the ease of Urmston vs. Whiteleg Brothers, that an agreement by which a number of Lancashire mineral water manufacturers bound themselves for period of ten years under penalties not to sell mineral waters for lees than 9d. per dozen bottles net was an agreement to put money into the pockets of the membere of the Mineral Water Manufacturers' Ass°. dation at the expense of the publio without consideration, and could not be enforced by law. Leave was granted to appeal.—Lon. don Weekly Despatch. How It originated. A man named Gallagher was opposed to his daughter going ont to late dancein the country. One evening the girl went to her father, in the preeenoe of a few of his friends' and &eked permission to go to a concertand ball. He refueed ber request, whereupon the oompeny, almost with one voice, exclaimed : "Let her go, Gallagher 1" Hence this saying that is now known in almost every part of the world. The Electors Responsible, Toronto World: Murdock McDonald, aged 29, having died suddenly in a hotel in Ripley (Brace) while drunk, an inquest was field, when the jury returned this startling verdict "We find that the de• °awed came to hie death from an ovemin. diligence itt alcoholic beverages, aud that we hold the electors and public at large responsiele 1 or having intoxicating liquors for sale throughout the community. As the present lew now stands, we, the eeid jury, insist that the Crooke Act be more vigorously enforced in future." A Paper elonsetrap. A paper mousetrap?

The rough weather gowns for the fall are of frieze and tweed, in the mixed weaves, and have bright flannel or serge waistcoats. Felt toques will be more worn with them than the cloth toques of a seaeon or two back, although the latter are by no means wholly gone out. In Paris, this year, says the New York Tribune, the traditional Chrietneas tree, the dear shaggy fur, is to be discarded, and huge odorous Spanish furze bathes, covered with their golden yellow blossoms, will b 3 the correct thing. These hrubs can be had of almost any size, and will be planted in great squere boxes of Spaniel] faience. "1 hear your husband is quite a gallant. Did you ever find any letters in his pooketa ?

Louis at Early Morri—A Weird but Dazzling Scene, A St. Louis deepatoh to the Times says: A weird procession such es wse certainly never seen before in this city and proliebly not in any other City ill the United Statee, tnole place between 2 and 5.30 o'clock yes- terday morning, the on:lesion being the celebration of the Feast of the Inimeculate Conception by the Italiane. Half a hundred torch bearers were in the front. Then fol- lowed a bugler, who at intervals sent hie ofarhut notes resounding alone the well nigh deserted thoroughfetres. Behind him came a dozen stalwart Sioilians, hearing on their shouldere a wooden platform, On this rested an image of the, blessed 'Virgin Mary, decorated and adorned with gold and silver and precious stones and surrounded with wreathe of fruit and flowers. On all four sides burned sacred candlos, the rain - tion from which sent dazzlieg glares of light from the diamonds which bedecked the figure. The image wait of plaster of Paris and WM] molded in this city. The promesion stopped several times in the Italian quarter where the image of the Virgin was lowered and worshipped by crowds of Italiana. Just as the day was dawning the oarriers depoeited their burden in a niche in a corner of the room at 85 Essex Alley where the image will re- main for the next eight days. The room has been gorgeously decorated with bright colored theme paper flowers and fruits, One corner being arranged to form an altar. Here every evening of the present week the faithful will gather to repeat their prayers to the blessed Mary. ROOH'S LA is EST CUR F. The Blood of Rats and Rabbits Cures Mph- theria and Tetanus. A Berlin oeble says The latest develop- ments of Prof. Koch's d'soovery .of a oure tor diphtheria and tetanus have been limited to test experiments with animals until Friday, when the remedy was applied to several human subjects through the transfaeion of blood from animals not susceptible to the diphtheria bacillus or to tetanus. Drs. Behring and Kilaserto found the blood of rats and mice had a destrum tive effect on the virus of diphtheria, while the blood of rabbits transfused had a eirniler effect on tetanus. Before trans- fusion the blood must be freed of its oorsgulum and otherwise prepared. The Deutsche Medisinische Wochensehrift promis to explain the method fully, no oecreoy being observed in regard to the remedy. LUXURY FOR BAD INDIANS, While the Peaceful Tribes are Left to Freeze sad starve. A special from Pine Ridge, Da., says : Zero weather and a storm of cutting sleet prevail here. The troops are hugging their clamp fires, while the Indian e are freezing in their ganze.like tepees outside the agency precincts. To -day Agent Royer will cell in all the Indians at the agency and give them a big feed. Should the storm continue and should there be a heavy fall of snow the ponies of the Indians now here, and whose hay has been stolen by the hostiles, would die of starvation. At the best this winter will be very hard. The Indians who have bowed their heads to the Government rule are suffering, while their rebellious and thieving brothers are living on the fat of the land. Blown Up With Dynamite. A Montreal despatch says: A serious and probably fatal aceident, resulting from a dynamite explosion, took place tceday itt Ste. Anne de Bellevue. A number of work- men were engaged in drilling and making an excavation near the western line of the Canadian Pacific. A charge of dynamite had been placed in position, and the fuse attaohed to the percussion oap ignited, but there was some delay in its going off, and one of the workmen, William Prevost down to see what WM wrong. Jos stooped over the charge the explosio place, blowing the man a dietance feet. He was picked tip in an tmoo state.

Vs MASSACRING CHRISTIAN. Chinese Converts Fall Victims of Loo Huy Soo Fanaticism, A San Francisco despatch says: Advices from Chung King, China, state the troubles at Ta Chu Elsien arise from the massacre of Chinese Christians at Loong Tuy Tin by members of the Loo Huy Soo Society during a celebration of the fiooiety'a patron deity. After the celebration had lasted several days the brotherhood consulted their gods as to whether it would be safe to plunder she Christians. The reply be. ing in the affirmative, the brotherhood made a raid on a number of well.to.do Christian families, and carried off a lot of booty. A few days later they made a fresh attack, and rnessaored over twenty persons, nineteen bodies beingconnted in the streets, and several more are known to have been cut in pieces and thrown into the river. The mission buildinge and many others were burned, and the corpses thrown into the flames. On the following day the brotherhood proceeded to another market town, and made an assault on the Chris. flans there. The latter fled, but one of them was killed. RATHER LATE IN THIS DAY, But Still the Story of the Farm Peen !Way Possibly be True. A Winnipeg despatch says : It is learned that Mr. Weet.Jones whose wife gained notoriety in connection with the Birchen case, lived here, with his wife, some years ago. He lived on a farm in the provinoe until 1887. He was known as "Hail fellow well met." He once went into the farm pupil business himself, went to England in the spring of 1886, and when he returned he was accompanied by Mr. Davies and two farm pupils. Jones repre Belated that he had a large farm near Stonewall, and he and Davies were to farm it on shares and train up the boys in the way that farmers shonld go. Upon arrival here the farm did not make its appearance, though Davies semi he hunted for it indue- trionely in same swamps north of Stone- wall. The result was the sadden oollepse of the arrangements. Jones went to Cali- fornia.
