WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Closing of F. W. Mason & Cu's Grocery
Store Death of J. T. Smith.
News Notes and Personals.
The closing of the grocery store of
F. V. Mason & Co. ywUiTdiiy was this
greatest surprise of yt-urn in West Siile
business circles. The closure wns at
11 o'clock on a sheriff's warrant, which
bore the name S. R. Mason, us the ex
ecution iirosecutrix.
"S. K. Mason" is F. Mason's wife.
T. Fellows Mason, who id- the vast
several years has been nianatuT of the
store, was seen last evening by a Tri
bune reporter. I'resent jiroliallty in
fers that the store will not be re
opened by the same firm, although Mr.
Mason woulJ not say point blank to
that effect. The cause of the failure
Is due primarily to rent due on the
store room.
Karly yesterday mornins a constable
levied upon the store kimhIh to the
amount of $000 in favor of (;. V. Clark,
owner of the stun building. In older
to counterai t the sudden onslaught,
Mr. Mason judiciously closed the store
In the manner mentioned. The lone
standing of the lirm ns one of the best
on Hie West Side with roods which
attracted patronage from prominent i
families, makes the dosing of the store
a matter of more than usual interest, j

I.usicrno street and Main avenue in the
some brick building, the slore of Fel- I
lows r Mason. F. W. Mason was the I
Junior partner. Turing the periods of;
business depression In 1S7I! this store
was famous for Its generous credit to
the working classes nnd to this 9-iy
hundreds of poor people remain finan
cially indebted to Fellows Ai Mason.
The firm went out of luislii'SS in 17" I
nnd Mr. Mason opened a store in the
block on the southwesterly corner of

to occupy this part of the building.

Two constables. Wilfred Makely nnd
Edmund Thomas, both of I'.ellevue

ngoiiia region at 11 o'cloc k hist even
ing. They were after nnemven Moran,
of the Sotilh Side, who some time ago
left the employ of 1M ward Askins, a
furniture man. imlntr more than he
could pay. For four months the con
stables have been after Mr. Moran and

solved to force him to yield. Moran.

Two months ago he was cornered In a
house on Eytmn street and when the
iillleers thought they had him, they

hour had not succeeded.

Foriewhst romantic story nf the origin
of the FiMii'.'o-Rnsslan nllianeo, it
says that M. I'ouc.iult de- Moneloin, af
ter returning to Parts from ilrussels.re
'eelved a visit from a young man whom
he knew to be nn oHic'al occupying an
exttemily eontieb ntial ost' in the
household of King Leopold. He Pot
only had ncce.-s to all the secret cor
respondence, but also held the keys of
the places in which the documents were
placed.
"My dear sir." said he to SI. do Mon
dion, "1 nm pushed to a terrible ex
tremity. 1 have been gambling and I
have lost. I owe 2.r.i).ni)ii francs, which
I must pay or be dishonored."
"You have not come here, 1 hope, with
the idi'a that 1 can advance such a
sum?"
"No. but you can procure It for me."
"How'.'"
"I will t;-ll you hov, I have in my
possession mine documents of the high
est Importance, giving the nl solut" and
undeniable' pun if that Rlsmarck at the
present time is fooling the Russian
government with lies In regard to the
Rulgarian epies ion, nnd that, in real
ity, he Is. in an unilerhnud way. piay
ing a pait which is the very reverse cf
the role in which he appears olllcial y.
The proof of his duplicity once In the
hands of the czar, means the breaking
away of Russia from the Triple, Alli
ance nnd the possible alliance of Russia
with France. Now you know some
people In Paris to whom such evidence
would be worth 250.000 francs, If noi
more."
M. de Mondoln wns all enr.. With
the occult Instinct of a diplomat In love
with the Improbable' and fond of mys
tery, he scented a splendid opportun
ity. "Where is this wonderful evi
dence?" he asked.
The young man handed to hltn a roll
of papers. M, ele Mondoln saw in a
f"w moments that the document w re
genuine. Among them was a h'lt'f
from the Princess Clenie'ntine, the
mother of Prince Ferdinand, candidate
for the throne of Hnlgitla. adilivs-ed
to hev cousin. Leopold, king of the
Re Iglans. who has always been n close
watcher of 1 o it cal affairs. Hinl Leo
pold's leply tji the princes, dated from
Lacken. !n a word, the deciineenis
contained the imllspulal l" pi oof , f the
double game that Itismarck was play
ing. In otllclally opposing tic ca ml I lacy
of Prince Ferdinand while he was co
vertly sustaining It, contrary to his
assurances given to the- Russian gov
( 1 anient.
"I think." said M. do Mondo'n, "I
will be able to get the inone y f. r you.
Come and see me t. morrow."
The next elny he S'lw M. Loekroy ut
the tjuay d'orsay. The Goblet minis
try was then In power. In live- minute's
he explained the matter to M. Loekroy.
"It Is a mill r ugly plec ' of I us -r.ess."
sal I the Inttei. "Stol n papers!
Iiow ran we meddle with such things?"
Rut there was a political matter of the
very hlshi'st orcler Involved, and his
patriotism ut last overcame his deli
cacy. "If these documents are g inl
ine," said lie, "we must have them,
lint nre they genuine?"
"You can Judge for youtsclf."
"Yeit fcnv- the m?"
"No; but the man who hss tlvrh Is
outside I can bring him re-re in two
lllleiltis."
"The documents, yes; hut the man,
no."
Two mlnute.a nfterwntel M. Loekroy
had the photographed p ees. which re
moved nil doubt irem his mind. "Come
