XOST HIS WAISTCOAT.
But He Managed to Locate It Before
the Police Did.
From tho Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
This happened at Los Angeles to J.
K. Crawford, nn Englishman In Nat
Goodwin's company:
The Englishman had just discovered
tho loss of his watch. Ho hud an
amazing buit of tweeds and an accent
that needed a shave. He didn't want
to make a fuss, ho said, but he really
hated to loho his watch, don't y' know.
Ho came as near bohis excited as an
Englishman ever gets. He said ho had
come In on the morning Overland, and,
being an Englishman, the first thing he
did was to take a bath at the hotel.
"When I came out from the bawth,
y know, and dressed in my room, I
found mo waistcoat was not on. Beast
ly bore not to have one's waistcoat on
y' know. I went back to the bawth and
everything was just as I left it, y'
know; but tho waistcoat was not there.
Pon me honor, most mysterious,
know."
This was a stunt for Sherlock
Holmes. Hero was an Englishman
who had gone into tiie bathroom with
his waistcoat. It was to be reasonably
supposed that ho was alone when he
took the bath. He had come out, gone
to his room; dressed nnd then discov
ered tho loss of his waistcoat. Ho had
gone back to tho bath room, found
everything just us he hnd left it, but
no waistcoat,
A squad of the best detectives In tho
department were at once put on tho
case,
Tho bathroom was scientifically
searched. No waistcoat.
J Innocent chambermaids were put to
$ tho horrors of ,tho Inquisition. No
i waistcoat.' If'"' '
; The police entered tho room of un
B suspecting boarders in the vicinity or
the Engllhhman'H room by moans of
j pass keys. No waistcoat.
J When tho department was on tho
J verge of despair, jjoinc one had a happy
thought. Muybo the Englishman hud
i left the vest on tho train. Detectives
i raced like mad for the railroad yards.
Porters were put on the rack nnd scared
nearly Into (its. No waistcoat. No
truce of the waistcoat.

"ONE GOOD TURN," ETC.
How a Would-Be Doctor Got Out of a
Hole.
From the London Quill.
In French theatres the doctor of the
theatre has a seat given him for every
performance. He must bo there each
evening. Naturally, after ho has seen
the same piece a score of times, he
longs to be elsewhere, and prefers to
give his seat to some of his friends. A
well-known wiiter, M. B. , says that
when he was a young man a friend, the
doctor of a certain theater, gave him
his seal. Just as lie was becoming in
terested in the llrst act the stage man
ager rushed up tho heroine had a, ner
vous attack nnd required medical aid.
B had nothing else to do but fol
low him. In the lady's dressing room
he found the manager with anguish de
picted on every feature and tho lady
wringing her hands and shrieking,
"Now, doctor, quick! What's to be
done?"
B grow ns red as a lobster, and
as lie could not say anything ho just
ejaculated: "H'm. Let us see; let us
see!"
He took the lady's hand in a wild at
tempt to feel her pulse. Sho shrieked
more than ever, and writhed like a
snake. ' i
"Have you poured any water on her
head?" he asked.
"Yes."
"And no effect?"
"None."
"Then give her a sniff of eau de co.
logno."
"Haven't any," was the answer.
"Then go and fetch some."
Off rushed the manager and tho stage
manager together, and B was left
with the patient.
"Suddenly she opened her eyes and
smiled.
"Doctor," she said, "you are u good
fellow, aren't you?"
"Yes, ma'amselle."
"You must pe, doctor. Now listen.
There is nothing tho matter with me.
You would have found that out soon.
I want a couple of days' holiday. Can't
you manage it?"
"Delighted," he replied, joyfully,
"Now, ma'amselle, you're a good sort,
too. I'm not a doctor, I came In on
the doctor's ticket, so you must not give
him away."
By this tlmo tho manager and stage
manager came bade, each with a bottle
of eau de cologne. He told them that
It wus unnecessary now; the lady was
quite composed, and could nppear with
out any danger. Hut she must have a
few days' rest. They made wry faces,
but granted the holiday.
Equal to the Emergency,
An uptown re.'ulur tells of tho "break"
nindo by a tot of tlio family who was
ono of a party of llitlo ghls at a leceut
strawberry festival in tho vicinity of her
home. Sho h.id been valiantly boasting
of tho manifold advantages of belonging
to her family, and hud managed to hold
her own ugalust tho valn-glorlous and
ingenuous dlwoursoa of her companions.
They bud gono from clothes to pergonal
appearunces, tion to Interior furnishings,
then to tho number of tons of coal con
Mimcd in tho homo of each dining
tho lasit winter, nnd Dually brought up at
parental dignity. The minister's llttlo girl
boasted: "livery package that comes for
my pa Is marked 'D, ,',' "An' every
package that comes for my pupa is
marked 'M. D,l" retorted tho daughter of
a physician of tho neighborhood. Then
ciinin it lino snort of contempt from the
heiolno of this unecdoto, "Huh!" sho ex
claimed, 'Every package that comes to
our house is marked 'C. O, D!' Tlioro,
nuw!' "
Whcro the Joke Came In.
A belated wnyfnior was pushing nn
English public) liniibo Into ut iilshl, when
a iotclgner was ejected therefrom who
boio all tho signs of extieiuoly rough
usage, but novcrtlieless was laughing m
muderutely. "What is tho tolio'."' tha
gentleman asked. "Why," bald tho other,
"a man enmo up to mo In the bur just
now, giivo mo a fearful punch un the
nobo aid said, 'Tulco lliat. you blooming
Norwegian,' " nnd ho foil to laughing
again. "Hut," the gentleman suld,
"there's nothing voiy funny in th.it,"
"No," tho man answered, "but then ha
hit mo a chic!: In tho eyes, and after
Vnrd knocked out my teeth, flaying, 'And
ta!:o that, too, ou hluoml'u; Norwe
gian.' " "lint btlll I cin't boo nnythlntr
funny." "IJol ho hoJ'Vho otlnr yelled.
"Tho JoUo Is thai I'm u Swede!" Troy
Times.
FORTY-FIVE
GRADUATES
LARGE CLASS OF GIRLS LEAVE
TRAINING SCHOOL.
Exercises Were Conducted Lnst Night
in the High School Auditorium.
Interesting Discussion on the In
troduction of Phonic Spelling Took
Place of Formal Address to Gradu
ates Ghnirniau Jennings, of High
and Training Committee, and Supt.
Phillips Made Brief Remarks.
Forty-live prospective teachers, nil
young women nnd nil charming young
women, ton, were lust night graduated
from the Scranton Training school in
tho High school nudltorlum. It was tho
largest class In the history of that In
stitution, The Btngo of the auditorium was
beautifully decorated with Immense
potted palms and directly over the front
of It was hung the school's motto, "Ex
celsior," worked out In evergreen and
surrounded,,wlth red, white and blue
Incnndescent lights. Tho members of
tlio graduating class, who inarched on
the stage to music furnished by the
Lawrence orchestra, occupied two rows
of seats extending from ono side of the
platform to the other. All were attired
In white and nearly all had flowers en
twined In tliolr hair. On the left of the
stage sat President Gibbons, of the
board of control, and the members of
the high nnd training commltee, while
nt tho right sat Superintendent of
Schools Phillips, Miss Olmstcad, the
principal of the Training school, and
Miss Christine Fellows, her assistant.
Tho Invocation was offered by Rev.
Dr. James JIcLeod, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church. This was fol
lowed with a delightfully swinging
waltz song sung by the members of
the class, under the leadership of Mrs.
Barnes, the supervisor of music. Fol
lowing the custom established last year,
there was no formal address delivered
by a visiting educator. Instead, two of
tho members of tho class had prepared
essays and there was a discussion on
an educational topic.
PERSONALITY OF THE TEACHER.
Miss Olive Munn, the president of the
class, had prepared an essay on "The
Personality of the Teacher." Because
of a death in the family she was unable
to be present, and the essay was ac
ceptably read by Miss Edna Eloiso
Freeman. It was an able presentatlpn
of the principle which is coming to be
recognized more and more among
teachers every year, namely, that the
shaping of a child's after life is largely
in the hands of the teacher.
Miss Beatrice Morris recited "My
First School," and gave an altogether
delightful cloture of a new teacher's
first day as a teacher and her strug
gles with a class of hopelessly Irre
pressible youngsters. As an encore she
recited n humorous negro dialect poem.
The discussion of the subject. "Is
Spelling by Phonics Desirable and Prac
ticable?" was participated in by four
young ladies and was the most inter
esting feature of the programme.
Miss Sadie Falkowsky, opened the dis
cussion for the affirmative aide, giving
at some length the renbons why "mon
key" should be spelled "monki," and
why "easy" should be spelled "ez."
Words in their written form should plc
turo to the eye the sound which they
represent. This is possible only by the
use of the phonic method of spelling,
she said.
Tho economy in time which would fol
low its introduction was pointed out.
Children could be taught to read In
one-half the time required at present.
There would be an economy In printing,
also. One column in six could be saved
In the newspapers and one page in six
in tho printing of books nnd magazines.
Its use would result in the introduction
of rational methods of teaching and
would make English In time the uni
versal language. She pointed out the
diverse pronunciations given to pre
cisely the same combinations of letters
under tho present system, ns for In
stancebone, gone, done.
MISS JONES' CONTENTION.
Miss Helen Jones, for the negative,
said that the introduction of the phonic
system is impossible, because It would
bo impossible to get philologists to
ngree on the pronunciation of words.
Each would want his own pronuncia
tion, and so would everybody In gen
eral, The result would be confusion.
The introduction of tho system would
make tho English language resemble a
"stump tailed fox," nnd would rob it of
Its wonderful beauty of form. The
great masterpieces of English liter
ature would remnln a closed book If It
were Introduced, she said.
Miss Sadie Coslett ridiculed the argu
ments of her opponent nnd asserted
that the Introduction of the phonic sys
tem of spelling would establish for all
tlmo a sound standard of pronuncia
tion. It Is the only rntlonnl method of
spelling, sho said. She told of the first
efforts of little children to write and
how they Invnrlably spell according to
tlio phonic system. She gave this as an
argument to show how tho education
of the child could bo simplified by its
use. The literature of the past could
be re-wrltten Into phonic words, she
said, and need not be lost.
Miss Olive Mead, a very positive
young woman, closed tho discussion
for tho negative by asserting that tho
introduction of the phonic system Is
unnecessary, undeslrablo and alto
gether Impossible.
Miss Ruth Ileddoo, who haa a sweet
ly bymptithotlu voice, sang "Forgot
ten." Then Miss Ethel Beale presented
to tho board of control for tho school
a beautifully framed photograph of St.
Mark's cathedral In Venice. Superin
tendent Phillips accepted It In a few
brief words, Tho great popularity
which he enjoys was demonstrated
when ho stepped forward. Thn ap
plause was so loud and long that he
was obliged to wait nearly two minutes
boforo It ceabed.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REMARKS.
The children, under a teacher's care,
he bald, aro buildings and perpetuate
tho life and Inllueuco of the teacher In
themselves, as tho cathedral per
petuated tho nrtlstlo genius of tho ar.
chllect. Ho urged them to live not lit
words but In deeds.
Miss (Jraco Lauor read an Interest
ing (-stay on "Col. Parker, the Chll
dren'n Friend," In which sho pictured
tho llfo of that first great American'
follower of Froebel's teachings,
T, J. Jennings, the chairman of the
high and training committee, made
an address In which he bald that tho
present class Is tho largest In the his
tory of tho school. There havo been
ISt graduates, he said, and of this
number ,101 ure now actively engaged
In teaching. The cost of educating
these teachers has been only About
(20,000, ho said, Ho had the plcasuro
of seeing them graduate from tho
High school last yenr nnd on behalf
of tho board ho Wished them dvcry
success on their broader and more ex
tended, piano of usefulness.
President Gibbons, of the school
boardi presented each of the graduates
with her diploma as their names were
cnlled oft by Miss Olmstead. Tho
members of tho Braduatlner class are

JURY HAS THE
DAVIS CASE
UP TO 11 O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT
HAD NOT AGREED.
At That Hour tho Jurors Retired for
the Night Rumor Has It That
Two of the Jurors Favor a Verdict
of Murder in the First Degree.
Closing Scenes of the Trial Char
acter Witnesses Called by Defense.
Suit Against Constable Neary.
Other Criminal Cases Heard.
The trial of Michael Davis for tho
murder of Peter King, at Mlnooka, on
February 10, was completed yesterday
and nt 3 p. m. tho case was given to
tho jury for consideration. Up to 11
o'clock last night It had not agreed
upon a verdict, and at that hour the
jurors retired. Reports had It that two
of the Jurors are In favor of murder In
tho first degree nnd tho others for a
lesser degree.
Wj)t?n court opened In the morning
the case on tho part of the defendant
was again taken up and a number of
very prominent' men wont on the stand
and swore to' the excellent and law
abiding character of Davis. Tho3e
called were John Law and John M,
Robertson, of the firm of Robertson nnd
Law, coal operators; John McCrindle
and William Weir, of Mooslc; John
Loverlng, of Greenwood, and John
Beamish, Philip Connolly and Owen
Connolly of Mtnooku,
Colonel F. J. Fltzslmmons made tho
closing address to the jury for tho de
fense. He spoke for about nn hour and
eloquently pleaded with the jury that
tho theory of self-defense put forth
by the defense was the only reasonable
ono under the evidence In tho case.
District Attorney W. L. Lewis
summed up the case for the common
wealth and urged most vigorously that
the case was one that arose to the dig
nity of murder of tho llrst degree.
Judge Edwards' charge consumed an
hour and one half and was one of the
most painstaking and exhaustive he
has ever dolh'ered. He reviewed tho
evidence In detail and Instructed the
jurors that It should bo considered In
tho light of all of the circumstances in
tho case. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon
the Jury retired to make up its verdict.
Other Criminal Cases.
Stanley Mitchell, who was tried yes
terday on the charge of stealing J8.65
from Mrs. Butler's hotel at Vandllng,
was acaultted, and the costs were

Landlord P. H. Durkln was tho prose
cutor In a case called before Judge

having defrauded him out of a $55 board
bill In 1896. Attorney C. S. Woodruff,
In behalf of the defense, contended that
the action 'was burred by the statute
of limitations, but it appeared that
there was some evidence that the de
fendant had left the state Immediately
after his departure from Durkin's, and
the court left It to be determined by
tho jury whether ho was a fugitive
from justice up until about the time of
his arrest. If they should find that he
was, the statute would not bar the ac
tion. Attorney John P. Murphy as
sisted Mr. Thomas for the prosecution.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty,
just before adjournment.

was counsel for tho defendant, and At
torney George S. Horn represented tho
prosecution.

ed by the police on a charge of steal
ing four chickens. There was not suf

$30 to Wilson, but subsequently, when
