Su perior Times. - A little bo3 named Roj' Manholt from Red Oak, was put off of No. 7 lere yesterday, Policeman Fitz- patrick took him in charge, gave him his supper and succeeded in finding out where he came from.

He was sent to Red Oak last night on No. 8. I TELL I Count Herbert Itismarck and the Italian. I met at a recent entertainment a gen tleman who had just arrived from Italy, and who had gone much 'into Italian society during a prolonged stay in Rome, He told me that Count Herbert von Bis marck, when he lately visited that city, contrived to make himself very unpopu lar by his arrogant and aggressive man ners. On one occasion he pushed so rudely against an Italian officer of high rank that the personage thus assailed gave vent to his indignation in very for cible terms. Without a word of apoi- ogy the insolent Prussian retorted an grily: "I am Count Herbert von Bismarck!" "That, sir, is an explanation of your conduct, but it is no excuse, was the response. Paris Cor. Philadelphia Tele- grapn. The Soda Water Season Open. Soda water fountains are blossoming out all over the east, side for the sum mer season. There seems to be more soda water drank there than anywhere else in Ihe city. Prices are one, two and three cents a glass. The highest price is for a new flavor which seems to be fashionable on the east side, though it has not yet apparently become known elsewhere. It is spelled in different ways, but the usual spelling seems to be Aramatariene rose. This is the cost liest flavor that there is. Another popu lar flavor, which sells for only two cents, is rosberry, according to the soda water spelling. New York Sun. A Seventy-Five Foot Dive. At Arctic Springs Floyd Williams, a twelve-year-old boy, climbed a tower seventy-five feet high and, reaching the last turret, dived off into the river. The descent was made in safety, and the boy after coming to the surface swam around for several minutes. It is regarded as a marvellous act. The tower was built expressly for Professor Leuv enmark, the famous diver, who gave an exhibition on Sunday by diving from the top, and who was said to be con sidered the only man' in the United States able to dive safely from such a distance.
