A Judicial Investigation.
The Mllllkln divorce case , which created n
llttlo breeze In the district court last Satur
day owing to certain mysterious features In
connection with the manner In which the pe
tition wan flled , again came to the surface
yesterday morning. Judge Dccmcr entered
the following order on the court calendar !
"Tho court , upon Its own motion , hereby
sets aside the order of default and decree en
tered on May 17 , I $00 , It appearing to the
court that the petition was not llled in tlmo
to bring the cause on for hearing at this term
of court ; and the said default is hereby ex
punged and set aside and held for naught ,
and the cause Is continued until the next
term of court. "
When court opened Colonel Dalloy , who se
cured the divorce for his client , was on hand ,
evidently expecting that something n llttlo
out of the usual order was about to happen.
He was not disappointed , as the court very
promptly called him to account. "It seems , "
said the Judge , as ho looked nt the colonel ,
"that thcro was something wrong about the
case of Mllllkln vs Mllllkln , In which a de
cree was grunted last Saturday. The papers
in the case are not here , and the record docs
not show that the petition was llled In time to
have been brought up at this term of court
How do you explain this seeming mystery ,
Colonel Dalloy S"
"Well , your honor , " said the colonel , red
dening as he rose slowly to his feet , "I cat
only say that I seem to have the enmity o ;
the clerk of this court , and this is not the
first tlmo he has tried to Injure me. I can
cite other cases of recent occurrence where I
have been charged with having the papers In
cases pending in this court , which were not
in my possession. As far ns this Individual
case is concerned , I want to say that the peti
tion was llled over two months ago , which
was more than ten days before the opening
day of the term , as required by law. I don't
know where it is now , for I haven't seen it
since. It was not my fault that it wasn't
llled. I didn't discover that it hadn't been
Hied until Saturday , when 1 llled another one ,
and that Is the one that was then brought In
here. "
"So you say that the petition In this case
was illed in time for trial this term I" In
quired the jud'ro.
"I do , most emphatically , " answered
Colonel Diilley.
"Very well , that puts an altogether differ
ent aspect on the case. I don't care about
the newspaper versions of it , ns what I want
are the simple facts. I have always found
you honorable in your dealings with the
court , and I should bo sorry indeed to llnd
that you had endeavored to impose on its eon-
lldenco in the professional honor of the attor
neys at its bar. I sincerely hope the time
will never conic when it will be impossible
for this court to place the fullest confidence
in the professional statements made by coun
sel as to the condition of the records in a
case. "
"I wish to state hero , " said the colonel ,
"that I never knowingly misled the courier
any member of the bar. and I will submit
the statement tosomo of them who are hero
now. The only person with whom I have
had diniculty is the clerk , with whom I have
not found favor , and I have been the victim
of his partiality. "
Clerk Chambers , who had all this time been
sitting quietly at his dc.sk at the side of the
's i bench , could hold in no longer , and
interrupted the speaker.
"You are mistaken.ColonelDailey , " saidhe ,
"for 1 have always treated you with the
greatest possible consideration. As for this
case , I state most positively that the papers
were not Hied till Saturday , and were not in
this olllco until that time , when you paid mo
for liling them , and stated that you ought to
bo kicked for not liling them before. You
never said a word about any other petition ,
or asked what had become of ono. How did
you know that it bad not been tiled if you did
not inquire ! Why did you pay a second Ill-
ing fee for the same papers , without oven an
inquiry about the lirst ono that you allege to
have been HleiU"
" 1 could show other eases where you have
taken a double liling fee , " retorted the
colonel excitedly.
"You can't ilo it , " quickly responded
Chambers , "but I can show where I helped
you got \o ! that you were not entitled to. "
The court interrupted with the statement
that ho only wanted to know about the case
in controversy.
"My clerk will make nflldavit , " continued
Dailcv , "that the petition in this ease was
drawn up and tiled long ago , in plenty of
time to bo heard ut this term of court. When
the proper time comes I will make my de
fense. "
"J can't help that , " interrupted the Judge.
"I shall have to stand by the record and that
shows that the petition in the ease has really
never been tiled at all , for it has not even
been put on the appearance docket. I nm
very sorry , but I shall have to make an order
that the default and decree entered in the
ca > .o last Saturday be set aside and declared
null and void and the case continued until
the next term of court. "
The Judge then inquired of the clerk how
the case came to be entered On the trial
docket.
"It was done at the special request of
Colonel Dailey. " said Clerk Chambers.
"When he came in Saturday to lllo his papers
I was very busy , and did not stop to inquire
whether they werepctttlonsmotions or some
thing else , but put my liling stamp on thorn
and ho took them away again. 1 have not
.seen him since. Ho asked mo to have thociiso
put on the trial docket if it had been omitted ,
and I did so. Instead of trying to injure him
I have done what I could to help his case
and show his side of the mat
ter in the best possible light.
The reporters cnmo to mo about the matter ,
and 1 explained to them how it might bo that
Colonel Dailoy had secured a default and de
cree so soon alter the petition was llled. They
went to other persons besides myself , anil
homo of them talked to the Judge about it. "
'A Bun reporter last evening saw Emil
Sehurz , Colonel Dailoy's clerk , who stated
that ho drew up the petition fully two months
ago , and llled it with Deputy Clerk Frank
Chambers , brother of the cleric. Ho said ho
llled it in the clerk's room down stall's ,
where all the court papers are
llled when court Is not in session.
Ho was very positive in his statements and
said ho would make an nflldnvit to that effect
if necessary. From this it. scorns that neither
Colonel Dalloy nor Clerk Chambers are di
rectly interested , but that it lies between the
colonel's clerk and the '
court clerk's deputy.
The deputy savs that neither Sehurz nor any
one else llled the petition with him , and the
same positive contradictions pass between
the subordinates that erstwhile flew back
and forth between their principals. Which
ever way the case turns out , somebody is en
titled to the belt as the prince of prevari
cators.

The Tricks AVIiluh-a Live AVirc Played
Upon NaRH In Now York.
There was'a scries of protormiincos in
William street yesterday , says the
New York Sun , that partook of the
nuttiro of 11 circus. It was in that par I
of William street that lies between
Bookman and Ann streets. At the curb
in front of 104 a loaded truck had been
backed up to unload. This made it neces-
sai'ytliatlior | cs carrying on street tralllc
should pass round the truck and approach
preach the curb on the opposite side of
William street. The pavement is un
even and the hollows were puddles ol
water.
The moment the dray horse put a liool
into ono of these puddles ho sprang into
the air with a snort. When ho alighted ,
if ho was a particularly well-fed horse ,
ho tried to run away. After a , few ex
hibitions of this kind the word was
pasod along William street that an
electric wire had broken under ground
and that there was fun to bo had. Hun
dreds of employes in the stores poured
out on the sidewalks and watched the
passing conveyances. The conveyances
wcro mostly trucks , and the crow'd took
especial delight when a lifeless old cart
horse came poking along. When it
reached the danger spot the crowd held
their breath and at the sight of the old
fellow opening his sleepy eyes in surprise
and climbing into the air the crowd
roared.
Ono old cart horse , by a curious mis
hap , executed a tremendous double act.
He got his hind hoofs in ono puddle of
water and his fore hoofs in another , and
did the customary act of going into the
air like a eat , while his logs dangled
down , and when ho alighted ho struck
in another puddle with the same result.
The plug got so much electricity in him
that lie ran half a block before ho could
bo stopped.
The news passed from ono truckman
to another as they met in the lower
part of the city , and in an hour after
ward every truckman gave the electric
puddles a wide birth.

Huso of n Paris Student Deprived of
Money front Home. .
A young student who had como up to
Paris from the provinces for the purpose
of devoting his attention to the Inwmado
so little progress therein that some
months ago his father a prosperous
farmer determined on cutting on" the
supplies. Ono line day the usual allow
ance was suppressed.
The son sot to work to live as best ho
could without assistance from home. Ho
drew up a list of some of the cafes which
wore for sale , and , calling on the land
lords , expressed a desire to como to
terms with thorn.
The first proprietor whom ho saw ac
cepted the offer which ho had made him
readily , but when he was on the point of
signing an agreement ho jisked if ho
might ho allowed to spend a week in the
house with a view to ascertaining
whether the business was really "up to
the mark. "
The landlord consented , and fora week
the student had the run of the cafe ,
where lie took his meals and any extra
refreshment which ho happened to
fancy. At the end of the week , however -
over , ho departed without giving his
lupa any warning of his intention , and
iiotook himself to another establish
ment , whore ho lived ou the same easy
conditions.
As ho always changed his nnino , and
idopted the further precaution of keep-
ng out of the strots during the day , his
victims were unable to discover him ,
ind for n couple of months ho wont from
ono cafe to another , making fresh vic
tims at each.
At last the student made the acquaint-
mco of a man who was prepared to got
id of Ills house on almost any terms.
I'lio young man was installed speedily in
.his establishment , and , while his host
was away arranging the now house to
which ho was about to remove , the law
btudeiit beguiled his leisure by Illrtlng
with the pretty wife of the future wine
nerohant.
Before the week was over ho persuaded
the lady to elope with him , and the
couple loft the cafe ono evening , taking
yith them all the money on which the
'air but orrlng spouse could lay her
lands. The pah' , after spending a few
lays In a retired street , left yesterday

aw had discovered their retreat in Paris

A Cruel 1'rnctlonl .Toko lit the
Wlicro Mosquitoes Thrive'
A oltt7.cn of Sli , Louis was In Florida
for his health. Not being strong ho had
a negro named JOG ; who went around
and assisted him \vlion neccssry. There
are mosquitoes in Florida , and the St.
Louisan was complaining ono day about
their number , ytfvs the St. Louis
Republic.
"Bat ain't nothing , boss , " said the
negro servont Joe ; ' 'down In do swamp
doy is terrible ; doy is as big us gain-
nippers , and wo ! don't dey bite.
On arriving there they were convinced.
Mosquitoes half as big as sparrows
swarmed about them in clouds.
"Joe , " said the St. Louisan , a bright
thought striking him , "how much
would you take to Ho down on the
ground here , naked , for ten minutes
and lot these gallinippers bite you.
"Don't know , boss , " said Joe with
n shudder.
"Will you do it for $1 ? "
"Well , I'll try in. boss , " returned the
negro , and In a few minutes ho was
down on his stomach , as bereft of cloth-
inp as when he was born.
The sun was shining with terrible force ,
the thermometer being over a hundred
in the shade , .loo had hardly set
tled himself when the mosquitoes
swooped down on him with wild and
bloodthirsty songs and began a feast.
Meanwhile ono of the gentlemen was
holding the watch.
The St. Louisan quickly drew a sun
glass from his pocket , and , getting a
focus , proceeded to blister Joo's back in
line stylo. In a few moments it was six-
xing , and the cruel tormentor asked Joe
how ho felt.
"Well , boss , ' ' said Joe , gasping , "I
don't mind the gallinippors , but , boss ,
please kill that wasp what is sticking
his stinger in my back. "
Joe got his dollar.

Strange Meeting Itvtwocit n AVIId Man
niul His Master.
A strange scene occurred the other
day in ono of the booths at a Paris fair.
The "great attraction" was an uncivil-
i/.ed individual described as a bona-lido
"savage , of extraordinary ferocity. "
The personage , who rejoices in the
name of "Colo , " was squatting in a cage
provided with strong bars and bolts , and
the inhabitants of the western town were
streaming into the booth to contemplate
hjs visage and acquaint themselves with
his manners and habtis , when his stern
gaze was suddenly seen to relax.
Tears soon ilowcd down his sable
cheeks , and , sobbing violently , ho
rushed to the door of his cage , and ,
pushing back the bolt , throw his arms
around a gentleman who had just walked
in. At first it was imagined that this
"Child of Nature" had taken leave of
his senses , and the spectators started
back in fear and trembling , expecting
every minute to see the stern wild man
throttle the person ho had singled out
from among the company for his atten
tions.
Soon , however , their apprehensions
were dispelled , for the gentleman was
also noticed to betray symptoms of emo
tion. It turned out that "Colo" had
been in his service for some time in Mar
tinique , and that four years ago ho had
como to Franco in search of his master ,
to whom ho was much attached. The
faithful creature * had proceeded from
ono town to the other oxliibiting'himsolf '
nt fairs with this ono object always in
view.
His master was so much touched nt
this proof of affection that then and
"

THE NUMBER TIIUEE.
Various Reasons "Wliich Make It Re
garded AVitli No Little Superstition.
There is much superstitious regard for
the number three in the popular mind ,
and the third repetition of anything is
generally looked upon as a crisis. Thus ,
an article may twice bo lost and recov
ered , but the third time it is lost it is
gone for good. Twice a man may pass
through some great danger in safety ,
but the third tune ho loses his life. If ,
however , the mystic third can bo suc
cessfully passed all is well. Three was
called by Pythagoras the jiorfect num
ber , and wo frequently llnd its use sym
bolical of Deity ; thus , wo might mention
the trident of "Neptune , the three-forked
lightning of Jove and the three-headed
dog of Pluto. Tlio idea of trinity is not
confined to Christianity , but occurs in
several religions.
In mythology also we find three Fates ,
three Furies and three Graces ; and com
ing nearer to our own times , Shakes
peare introduced his three witches. In
public house signs three seems to play
an important part , for wo frequently
meet with "Three Cups , ' ' "Three Jolly
Sailors , " "Three Bells , " "Three Tuns , * '
"Three Feathers" in fact , that number
of almost any thing of which a fertile im-
iglnation can conceive a trio. In nurse
ry rhymes and tales this number is not
unknown ; and if wo look back to the days
of our childhood most of us will call to
uind the three wise men of Gotham ,
who took a sea voyage in a bowl , not to
nention the three blind mice that had
.heir tails cut oil by the farmer's wife.
Perhaps there is some occult power in
the number which governs the division
of novels into three volumes and induces
lectors to order their medicine to bo
akon thrice daily. It is said that some
ribo of savages cannot count beyond
hreo ; but although they may have no
vords to express higher numbers per-
nips wo should bo scarcely justified in
issuming that they are incapable of up-
n'cciuting the valuti of the latter.

POISON l-'OH
low tlio Piutc ImHuiiH Prepared the
Deadly 1'itHte.
Wo are indebted , says the Hannlng ,
Minn. , Herald , to Frank Smith , of
Whitewater , for a verv graphic account
of the manner In which a i'iuto Indian
u'epared the deadly arrows. Ho gath
ered n dozen or moro rattlesnake heads
ind put them in a spherical earthen
es > sol. With these ho put half a pint of
i species of largo red ant that is found
leroabouts. The bite of this ant is
nero poisonous than that of a bee.
Ipon tneso he poured a bit of water , and
hen sealed up with moiht earth and the
Id of this vessel. Ho then dug a hole
wo feet deep in the ground , In which ho
milt a roaring lire and put im some
tones. When the interior of the hole
uul the stones were red hot ho made
i place in the bottom for the earthen
ot.se ! and put It in. About It
ind upon It he put the coals and hot
tones , and upon the top ho built a fierce
Ire and kept it up for twenty-four hours ,
. 'hen ho dug out his vessel and , standing
olT with a long pole , ho disengaged the
op and lot the fumes escape , lie insisted.
that had they struck his face It would
have killed him. The mass loft in the
vessel was n dark brown paste.
To test the olllvacy of his concoction
the Indian with his hunting knife made
a cut in Ills bare leg , just below the knee ,
and let the blood run down to his ankle.
Then , taking a stick , ho dipped It Into
the poison and touched the descending
blood at the ankle. It Immediately
began to sizzle as If It were beginning to
cook the blood , and the poison followed
the blood right up the leg , sizzling its
way , until the Indian scraped the blood
off with the knife. Ho assured our in
formant that hud ho allowed It to reach
the mouth of the wound ho would have
been a dead man.

The Streets the Mournful Procession
UHOI ! to PaHH Through.
A never-ending1 procession of victims ,
says the Saturday Review , passed down
the Hue St. Honoro to the Place do la
Revolution ci dovnnt Place Louis XV.
where the principal guillotine had
been erected. There were guillotines ,
however , in several other parts of the
city , and it was no uncommon matter fern
n person going out shopping in the mornIng -
Ing to meet with three or four proces
sions of unhappy beings proceeding to
execution. A well organized band of
furies usually accompanied them ,
shouting and howling insults and
cries of "Doathl" Early in
1791 protests were made by
residents along the lines of route to the
guillotines that sensitive persons were
beginning to avoid those streets , and
that this did great harm to their com
merce. They therefore petitioned that
the routes should bo at least occasionally
changed. Later on another request was
made to the national assembly concern
ing the unhealthy condition of the Place
do la Revolution , literally steeped in
blood , which omitted a horrible and dan
gerous stencil.
Strange , however , as it may seem ,
many of these executions , notably these
of important personages , were attended
by great numbers of apparently respecta
ble , people , and the Monitor contained
many advertisements to the cfi'ect that
"So-and-so hires out chairs to witness
the guillotining of , say , Louis XVI.
or Mine. Roland , or indeed , of any coe-
spicuous person at so much an hour. " A
contemporary engraving representing
the execution of Louis XVI. , shows us a
crowd of well dressed people comfort
ably seated in their chairs , placed on a
high and well built wooden stand and
not a few of them are using their opera
glasses. Duval is shocked when ho re
cords that during tlio massacres of Sep
tember on dansaid on banlisue , in fact ,
the gay and volatile natturo of the
Parisians could not bo wholly suppressed ,
and some , by no means badly-intentioned
ueople , made a sort of fete of the tragic
events which were perpetually occurr
ing. _
In cases of fever and ague , the blood is as
effectually , thouch not so dangerously poi
soned by the diluvium of the atmosphere as
it could bo by the deadliest poison. Dr. J. II.
McLean's Chills and Fever Cure will eradi
cate this poison from the system. 50 cents u

DINNER TAIJLE ETIQUETTE.
How John Hull Ate DOR Out of Polite
ness to HiH Host.
PolitenosSjin the general sense"comes
by nature , " says the Now York Ledger.
It is a grace of tlio heart and springs
from a commendable wish to give pleiu--
uro and to produce a favorable impres
sion.
sion.There
There are , however , certain conven
tional rules of courtesy which it is proper
to know , and which , when known , it is
ungenllemanly to infringe. Ono of these
is never to express surprise , much less
repugnance , at anything which may bo
placed on a table at which you are an
invited guest.
Codfish sauced with stowed prunes ,
does not harmonize with American ideas
of tlio gastronomic unities , but should
you encounter it at the table of a Teuton
a thing not improbable the code of
dinner table etiquette enjoins that you do
pear to be disgusted with it.
In Paris and Brussels foal steaks
liavo become somewhat fashionable
among the epicurean dilettanti. Few
people in this country hanker after
broiled horse , wo believe ; yet should
you bo present at a banquet whore it was
a "feature , " it would bo highly in
decorous in you to state your objections
to the dish.
If you cannot govern your appetite ,
you can control your manners , and it is
very bad manners to proclaim that what
your neighbor relishes as meat you
abhor as poison. "Quack-quack , isn't
it ? " said a member of the English em
bassy at Pokin , as ho helped himself to
what ho supposed to bo fricasseed duck ,
at the table of a mandarin. "No , no-
bow-wow , " was the reply of the host ;
whereupon John Bull turned very palo ,
but recollecting himself , scorned to relish
the mess in order that ho might not
mortify the feelings of Ills entertainer.
. That was politeness the triumph of
gcntlomenly feeling over an insurrec
tionary stomach. In a boarding house
or hotel , where you "pay your way , "
you have a right to complain if indiffer
ently fed , but not at the "hospitable
board" to which you are invited as a
friend.
