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.

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.

A Paper elonsetrap.
A paper mousetrap? Certainly; and an
uncommonly good one it is, too. It was
first need by s bright little housewife.
Overnight she put some sticky fly paper in
the kitchen. The next morning there was
the sound of squeaking and of equealing,
and lo 1 upon the paper was Master Mos
Musoulue stuck feat. She has caught
eight mice so far in this way.
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

had of almost any size, and will be planted
in great squere boxes of Spaniel] faience.

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

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

with wreathe of fruit and flowers. On all

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

Here every evening of the present week the

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.

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

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.

them was killed.

that Mr. Weet.Jones whose wife gained
notoriety in connection with the Birchen

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-
