That was a decidedely exciting affair that took place in Justice Erhet's court on the West Side on Saturday night, when four residents of Duryea wer brought before him for the larceny of a chest of tea. During the hearing there was evidence of trouble brewing and when the 'squire placed them under one thousand dollars bail each the trouble commenced. One of the prisoners wish id to go out and procure the necessary bail, to which the justice assented, but with the stipulation tha he would have to be handcuffed. He strenuously oD iected. A man named Miller, who is supposed to te one of the niekie plated deputv constables of the village, got it into his head that the prisoner was full fledged Spaniard, and losing hi3 head he grabbed the large cane of IMr.

Erher. and 'brought it down upon the head of the manacled prisoner, felled him to the floor, cutting an ugly ash from which the blood spurted upon blotter of the judge.

"It beats all how some folks git along iu this world! There's Harry Slavers, for Instance. You know Harry. When he was to homo here, lie nevpr was no good at real work. He'd go dawdlln about all day long starin into a book, and when he wasn't readin he'd he soribblin stuff for the papers and magazines.

"But, law! It does seem ns though the lazior and the good for notin'ersome folks are tho easier they slide through tha world. When I was In tho city, I oalled on Harry. I always kinder liked Harry in spite of his shiftlessncss. Well, what do you think! Harry's editor of a paper down there and they do say bo gets pretty good wages too. "But, for my part, I oan't see how folks can pay a man for doin jest nothin at all.

"Harry has a nice room full o' books and things and a big desk with a big krinkly kiver that shuts tip as cute as you please when he ain't usin it, and thera he sets all day, as grand as a lord, rceivln callers. "Folks are all the time comln In to tell him what's goin on, and thev tell liim what side to tnko ou nil kind o' questions, and what ought to go into the paper and what oughtn't; and, more than that, thoy bring in stuff already written enough in ono day, sometimes, to fill his paper for a week. "And they toll him jest how to run his paper. So you see he don't have to bother his head a hit about it. "I never did see such luck.

I told Harry ho ought to bless his stars, for I never did see anybody who got a livln half so rasy. "Harry jest smiled and 'Think so, Mrs. jest in his quiet way, you know. 'Thiuk said 1. 'Well, I should think I "But, do you knew, I don't b'lieve he half appreciates his good fortune.

Helena and about the sanm distance west of the cape of Good Hope. The governor found the 61 inhabitants, consisting of 18 adult males and 23 females and 20 children, under the control of tho aged Peter W. Green, in excellent health, and desiring the help of the chaplain rather than of tho doctor of the ship. Tho climate is an admirable one and the general condition of tho Inhabitants leaves littlo to bo desired from a material point of view. The live stock consists of 600 cattle, 500 sheep, a few pigs and donkeys, some poultry and a large number of geese.

The settlement consists of stone built cottages scattered over a common, lying al the foot of the precipitous and lofty mountain. The inhabitants are total abstainers. and they certainly form, savs Governor Wilson, a strong argument in favor of toe totalism. Occasional expeditions are made In open boats to Iuaooessible island. 20 miles distaDt, for seals, which they rely on for their lights.

It was decided that the county committee should be called together at a near future day to select delegates to the state convention. There was a general talk arming the assembled Democrats for the good of the party in the county and the weight of opinion was for harmony with Democrats who were true to Bryan at the front. That were state issues enough on which to wage a state campaign it was conceded, but it was decided that it was wise to place Bryan men in nomination and then fight the fight on state issues. There was no expression of feeling favoring any particular candidate but the meeting was in favor of the retention of John M. Gar man in charge of the state committee.

i A Cub Bear as a Model. From St. Nicholas. The funniest model in my experience was a cub bear; and during his visit to the studio we laughed more than we worked. While his antics were very THERE IS ONLY 9 THIS IS IT! msi li HfTBflET Invaluable for all 4cht, Pains, Inflammations, Catarrhal Trouble and Pile: POND'S EXTRACT amusing, it was the indescribably funny expression he always wore whicn kept the studio in such a state of hilarity "I'nb: known" to us.

one day he got out; and, walking along on his hind legs in a ridiculous shuttle, effectually blockaded the hallway, until we came to the rescue of the frightened people. It was not the only time he fell into trouble. When we first came into possession of little Bruin we sent the studio boy with a large market basket to bring the treasure up town. The boy was cautioned to be very careful of his charge in fact, he was cautioned too much. On the elevated railroad train that boy fairly ached to get a look at the bear, and so opened the lid the tiniest bit, and peeped in.

In stantly the animal thrust his whole head out. to the great astonishment of the lady passengers, among whom he created a small panic. It Is needless to say that both bear and boy were put off at the first stopping place. THE MAKING OF PENS. More Steel 1'ged For Them Than For Guns, Swords and Keedtes.

"Do you know anything about pens?" risked a Nassau street stationer tho other morning. "I thought you didn't. Now, let me toll you something about the metallic pen that you never dreamed of. It requires tho finest kind of steel to make really first class pen. I havo been overhauling records and find that a greater quantity of stool is used annually in the penmaking business thai) In all tho gun, sword and noodle manufactories of tho world.

The recent popularity of the typewriter has, of course, diminished tho uso af pens, but the output is enormous nevertheless. "In Birmingham, England, there area nnniberof pen manufactories that turn 3tit a total of 130,000,000 pens every working weok. Tbo majority of tho workers women, nnd the wages, while low, help to mako Birmingham a notable seat of industry. To make 1,000,000 pons a full ton of stool is required. Tbero is ronlly so much work about the manufacture of a pen that it is surprising that they sell as 3heap as thoy do, but, as I have said, tho production is so groat that it is a profitable business.

Pens have been in use a whole jontury now, but 40 years ago, whon thoy took tho place of quills ns the popular ink spreader, it was one of the socrets of tho age how that slit was mado in tho pen. Those employed in that particular branch of tho work wcro obliged to record an oath that they would not roveal the secret of that sPit cutting process. "Tho secret became an open one, though, In the natural courso of events, and soon almost evory interested person knew that the slit was made with a pair of scissors Died in a press. Men perform the initial work on a pen. That is to say, they roll aut tho steel to tho proper thickness.

The women then take hold, cutting tho steel into strips as wide as two pens are long. Presses do tho cutting for the women. Tho stocl when it leaves the presses is like a pen, but is Oat. The forms made by these presses are thou put into a rod hot furnace, and whon thoroughly heated are taken out and permitted to cool slowly. This prooess makes thorn soft.

Then the women use fast presses that hammer the points as woll as stomp tho name of the manufacturer. "This dune, the pons are heated again, aud, whilo still hot, are cast into oil. They are much harder, but dirty aud greasy when takon out. To clean and whiten they thoy are then boiled in water to which soda has boon added. The next step is to place them in a oyliniler which revolves over gas jots.

This turns them blue. A number of other minor ilutuiis, and the pen is packed and ready for tho market. Whether it bo tho rich or the poor man's pen, the mode of manufacture is alike."

He snllod round us all the next day and the next ofter that, and I determined to catch lilm and quell my uneasiness. We baited a hook and after a short time captured and killed htm. Then we out him up. Do you know what we found In that shark's Insider No? Well, a newspaper unopened, and it will surprise you, as It did ma, when I tell you that it was addressed to me." A shout of great laughter went up from the captain's audience, who winked at each other unblushing))'. Ho, however, took all the bantering In good part, and when the jeers were ended ho said: "Now, gentlemen, I'll toll you how It happened.

I found that my children had boon skylarking the (iny befora In the cabin. Thoy found among the mass of reading that had boon brought aboard aomo unopened newspapers addressed to mo. Thoy hnd boon throwing these newspapers at each other, and one of them went out of the porthole. The shark saw it, of course, and gobbled it down, and that was how it happened.

Powdered Fin or Spar Helps Bars Professor Winkolmnnn anil Dr. Strnubnl of the University of Jona have succeeded In discovering a new method of photographing with Roentgen roys by which the length of exposure Is reduced from 10 to 15 minutes to only a few seconds. The method is based on a conversion of the rays into rays of other undulations by means of lluor spar crystal. If the Roentgen rays are allowed to fall upon a photographic plute, the sensitized film of which is turned away from them aud covered with floor spar, the rays, aftor passing tho film, will be absorbed by the fluor spar and there undorgo the modification spoken of. The new rays now act upon the photographic plate, and indeed much more strongly thuu did the Roentgen rays on passing through.

As large lluor spar plates are to be had with difficulty powder of the same crystal was tried li. their place, and as this succeeded nothing stauds iu the way of tho further application of tho method. The new rays omitted by the lluor spar were minutely examined by tho dlsooverers. They suoceoded In determining the franglbility, aud from this the length of the undulations. The rays llo far beyond the ultra violet ond of the visible spectrum.
