PROGRESSIVE DRUNKENNESS
Illustrated by the Work of Two Paint
ers on the Front of a Brick Building.
From the Washington Post
There was quite an odd spectacle the
other day in front of a large business block
in course of repair. The front wall was of
brick and had been freshly painted, but the
“tuck pointing,” or outlining of the bricks
with white paint, still remained to be done.
On the day in question the two men hired
to do the pointing appeared at the building
somewhat the worse for having been on a
mild spree the night before. However, the
cont actors not being on baud, the men de
cided to go right to worn. Ascending to
the top of the building, where the scaffold
was already hanging, they carefully
climbed oat and began work.
All weut well for a time, and the outlines
of the bricks were true, but as the men low
oted the scaffold to the fourth story, one of
l hem proposed having a little refreshment.
Of couise, no objections were raised 1 by his
companion, and he shortly returned with a
large pail of beer, which was soon emptied,
aid work was resumed, this time a ltitle
more joyously than before.
“What’s the matter with making these
bricks so small? I say, let’s make ’em big
ger,” one fellow remarked to the other, and,
suiting the action to the words, he lined out
a number of bricks the size of paving
blocks. This excited the rivalry of his com
panion, and in a short time the facade of
the fourth st ry began to look as if it had
been rented by a dry goods merchant to ad
vertise plaid dress goods, large, small and
broken. At the third floor more beer was
consumed by the pair, and the bricks began
to assume fantastic shapes. With one grace
ful sweep of the brush they would make a
round, triangular or octagonal brick, as the
fancy struck them.
It was about 10 o’clock that the people in
the street began to notice that something
was wrong. The small boys gathered below,
and the remarks they made at the expense
ot the two jolly fellows ou the scaffold would
fill a column.
“Come, put in a star,” cried one.
“That’s it, make an eagle.”
“Now paint a flag,” said another.
“Why don’t you draw the President’s
picture?” yelled a third.
The man, however, went on undaunted,
making lines and curves as if their lives
depended on It. ci awling along the scaffold,
which was suspended at a da: gerous augie.
At 11 o’clock the contractor appeared and
ordered the men to stop that crazy work and
come in, or he would have them arrested.
It was none too soon, either, for with the
disappearance of the fifth pail of beer the
outlines ou the wall had assumed very gro
tesque shapes, and there were no two bricks
on the whole facade below the top floor of
uniform size. The effect was ridiculous,
and the bricks looked as much intoxicated
as the men who had executed them.
As the two painters were taken in hand
by the contractor one of the spectators was
heard to say “By Jove! I’d rather have
lost $lOO than to have missed that.”

Sirs: 1 would like to add my testimony to the
almost miraculous effect of P. P. P. in the ease
of Mary Ingraham, a woman living on my plana.
She had a constant cough, sore throat, debility,
etc., and was emaciated to a degree that she was
unable to get out of bed unaided. Being given
up by physicians, she had taken the ruinous so
ca.led blood medicines without the least effect,
until being nut under the P. P. P. she immedi
ately began to improve, and is now in as good
health as ever in her life. You can refer to me
at any time as to the effset of*P. P. P. in the
foregoing case. Yours truly,

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1891.
DID BE DO RIGHT?
A Problem In Bthlcs Respectfully Sub
mitted for Solution.
Fom the .Veto Fork Herald.
Jerry and Pete were two industrious me
chanics. They lived in a Fourth ward tene
ment and each had a couple of children to
support, besides their wives, who, albiet,
were not unacquainted with a noble art
frequently practiced by charming women.
Jerry and Pete were hard workers; they
worked far into the night, and occasionally
the thin mists of dawn had begun to break
on the narrow city pavements before their
labors would cease. Nobody would say that
the:rs was n>t a hard-oar..ed pillow. Home
times they did not toil iu vain. It depended
largely upon the police.
It was a chilly night in November that
this horny handed pair planned the bur
glary of a certain safe in the establishment
of a furniture concern on the wes: side. On
the evening in question the bookkeeper bad
had a wrangle with h;s accounts.
“I can’t make head or tail of this,” be
said to the senior member of the firm, “but
I know everything is all right. An error
of several hundred dollars has been carried
over from each daily footing, but whore
the error begins or ends I haven’t found
out.”
The fact was the monthly sales had been
extraordinarily large and a page of the
balance had been mislaid. The head book
keepers spent an hour iu again casting up
both the e tries of himself aud bis subor
dinates after the establishment closed its
doors for the day.
The he went home for bis supper deter
mined to locate the deficit if he didn’t get a
wink of sleep that night.
Bookkeepers, it must be remembered,
have singularly sensitive organisms, sus
ceptible to the slightest atom of anything
which reflects upon their probity or skill.
_ At 8:30 he returned and commenced anew
his critical calculations. Ho worked pre
cisely two haurs, at the end of which time
he suddenly slapped his forehead, and ex
claimed:
“Great Scott! Why haven’t I looked
through the safe for a missing sheet? Tea
to one Weeks forgot to number them S”
He turned over the pages of the balance
in his ha and, and sure enough the usual
numerical mark of designation in the upper
loft hand corner was wanting. In all like
lihood one page, or perhaps two, had slipped
into some remote corner of the safe.
The safe was a large one, partially reced
ing into the wall, and containing all the
papers, documents and several davs’ re
ceipts in cash and drafts of the firm.
The bookkeeper, in his effort to unearth
the lost page of the cash balance, was
obliged to intrude his whole body into the
safe. Fearful lest the candle he held should
attract atte tion from the street, showing
out as it did in glaring relief against the
black recesses of the safe, before entering
he drew the door slightly ajar.
As he stepped in the ail of his coat prob
ably caugut ou an angle of the huge riveted
hinges of the lock. The massive gate swung
to as if it had weighed no more than a
single pound and the bookkeeper was a
prisoner.
He heard a resonant click, that was all,
and his can lie went out.
There is nothing especially remarkable
about the Incident—tragic as it certainly
must have been to the unfortunate wretch
inside. Mauy men have been imprisoned in
safes before. But the reflection would
hardly soothe the agony of that horrible
moment.
The bookkeeper at the outset lost his
presence of mind. He fought like a caged
demon, after first exerting superhuman
s.rength against the four sides of the iron
tomb. Then his body gave out, and with
out for an instaut losing consciousness he
found himself sitting in a partially upright
posture unable to stir hand or foot.
At that instant, when hours seemed to
have elapsed, the drum of his ear, now ab
normally sensitive, was almost split into
fragments. A frightful monotonous clangor
rent the interior of the safe.
The bookkeeper used to say afterward
that a second’s deviation of characteristic
thought and he would have gone mad.
Stronger minds in a parallel situation
would have collapsed. But a weaker per
sonality clings more strongly to hop. . Only
weak individualities while in the act of
drowning catch at straws. As the book
keeper felt himself gradually growing faint
from want of air his revivified hope led
him to deliberately crash his fist into the
woodwork with’ which the interior of
the safe was fitted, in secretaire fashion,
one drawer being built above another.
As may have been conjectured, the noise
which smote the bookkeeper’s ear was that
of a drill. Although keenly distinguished
from the inside, the sound was practically
smothered on the outside of the vault
At one end of the drill was a cavity rap
idly growing larger in one of the steel
panels. At its other end was a heavy,
warty fist, part of the anatomy of Pete, the
industrious mechanic.
Pete held the drill, while his friend Jerry
pounded it in.
Pretty soon the two burglars became
aware that a terrible commotion was going
on within the safe. It nearly drove them
into fits. They were certainly very muc.i
startled.
Jerry was for throwing up the job. but
his companion rejec ed the proposal with
scorn, a. savoring of the superstitious. Pete
had a large family to support, he argued.
He spoke frankly to his friend and co
laborer. The burden of his remarks were
in these words:
“You m ike me tired with yer ghosts and
thing-', and I don’t want any more darn
fooling-see? Do blamed job is most t’rough,
anyway.
Pete" and Jerry went back to w irk. At
the first crack of the drill Jerry said:
•‘Pete, there’s a man or something in that
safe!”
Both men grew as pale as ghosts at the
mere suggestion. Pete intrepidly applied
his ear, first to the lock and then to the
drill hole.
“Hey, in there!” he shouted, not so loud,
however, as to be heard out on the sidewalk.
There came the faint responsive; very
faint, indeed:
“For God’s sake, give me air! I am
locked in here. Try aud burst open the
safe.”
The two burglars did not stop to talk, but
went at once to work a3 if their own lives
depended on the result ot their labors in
stead of the unfortunate bookkeeper’s. In
less than three minutes they had a hole
somewhat s nailer than the business end of a
collar button knocked into the safe.
Then they stopped to rest, and the man
inside, who had come so close to death,
breathed.
It was now that the two burglars became
aware qf their predicament. In all proba
bility this was a member of the firm or a i
employe. This fact knocked the success ot
the night’s adventure sky-high, unless,
when they let the man out, they gagged and
bound him into silence.
But this course would have an ugly look-
It might mean murder in the end, whereas
if they did not let him out the cha ices were
he would fall back exhausted before morn
ing, and they would still be murderers and
responsible for his taking off.
These were highly comforting reflections,
but there was one still more powerful.
What it was remains to be seen.
“Hey, in there! cried Pete, “what’s the
combination of yer safe?”
“3—15—73,” came back in an almost
sepulchral tone.
It was evidently hard work to draw
breath through that hole. In exactly fif
teen seconds the lock of the safe gave to th
the same resonant click it had given a half
hour previously. Thanks to the advent of
the burglars, it opened as lightly and airily
as it had closed just thirty minutes before
on the unhappy accountant.
The latter gas,red once or twice, and with
out any assistance stepped out iato the free
air.
Now comes the interesting part.
He was very pale and his dress was much
torn and disordered when ho stepped to the
floor, but the pallor gave place to a red flush
at pe.ceiving the two burglars.
They stood stock still as if they had seen
a ghost.
Without any kind of speech or warning
or any attempt at bravado the bookkeeper
walked straight to his desk and rang a call
for police.
Almost simultaneously, so quick and
?|uiet was the action, be opened a drawer,
ook out a pistol and covered the two
burglars with a fatal precision. As he did
so he uttered these words:
“Gentlemen, I would tie the basest of
men if I did not feel profoundly grateful
f r what you have just dona I shall
always regard you as any man should re
gartl those who have saved bis life with
peril to themselves. Anything you wish of
me I shall make an effort to perform. I
have accumulated a little money, and with
it I shall see that the best counsel are en
gaged for your defense. If you are con
victed, why ”
Here the officers entered, having broken
in the door with a crash.
ESPIONAGE IN FRANCE.
How a Visitor is Made Aware of tbe
Reign of the Fpy System.
Fom the PhUadelohia Times.
The third republic is no freer than were
any previous French regimes from this deep
taint of what the French call mouchardise.
Never before at any period of France’s his
tory has the reign of spydom been so wide
spread and absolute iu Paris as now. There
has been latterly much discussion in the
world’s press of the extraordinary degree to
which official espionage obiains'in Russia,
and very interesting details have been
forthcoming on the subject. lam now in
a position to affirm that in Paris—l do not
say throughout the whole of France—the
meshes of tbe detective net are woven even
more closely round the entire popul itLn
than bos ever been the case in St. Peters
burg. Evidence of this fact might easily
be found ia the secret history of the Bou
langist o msptracv. From first to lait
everv detail of this movement was known
to the police, more than three-fourths ot
the Boulaugists themselves being inform
ers.
The instant you arrive at a Paris station
yau are iu a midst of spies. You are driven
to a hotel in a cab. In half au hour the
cabman will furnish the police with any
particulars be may have been able to gather
concerning your position, destination, busi
ness, etc. Arrived at your hotel you become
the object of scrutiny, as close as it is secret,
on the part of divers persons, who, though
attached to the place in the capacity of
mauager or cashier or even porter or
“boots,” are in reality enrolled soldiers of
the groat detective army. And here I may
mention a special characteristic of the
French detective system, its faculty of re
cruiting adherents iu all clasess of society.
French spies for the most part are not sim
ple spies and nothing more. They have a
trade or occupation of their own, to which
they seem wholly and solely devoted, while
yet assiduously pursuing sub rosa their
spying.
The unsuspecting stranger in Paris has
dinner at his hotel served by a waiter, who,
as a matter of course, is ia the pay of the
poiice, and will subsequently report to them
what conversation he overhears during the
meal. He then sallies forth, primed with a
gla-s or two of fine champagne, for an eve.i
ing’s amusement of the true Parisian sort.
First be repairs to one of the brilliant boule
vard playhouses. A few stalls away from
him sits a gentlemanly looking man, witu
steady, observant eyes, who glances now
and again at our friend in such a way as to
make the latter tuink, “I wonder where I
have seen that man before?” He never has
seen him before, but it doesn't enter his
head for a moment to suspect the man of
being what he really is—a po.ioe sny.
The play over, there is just time for half
an hour’s stroll under the horse chestnuts in
thejardin de Paris. Here nine-tenths of
tbe attendants are either spies or scamps,
or may, indeed, be both at once, for French
p lice auth rities are not very squeamish in
choosing their instruments, and seem to
have a sort of preference for scounderls
over others. Their the ry runs that the
greater villain a man is- the better spy he
will make; moreover, the most efficacious
mea ts of keeping a man under spy surveil
lance is to have him become a spy himself,
for soies spy upon each other quite as much
os on the rest of mankind.
But our foreigner finishes up the evening
by turning into the Cafe Aihericaine for
supper, where he has for next-door neighbor
a seductive young womau, with whom he
enters into conversation. She has a sweet
smile, which d.splays two rows of glittering
teeth, and puts many questions to him con
cerning France and tbe French. Naturally
enough, our visitor imagines thiß is nil done
out of that bright, easy, Gallic politeness he
admires so much, for how is he to know
that every word he ha- said in reply will
come to the ear ■-f the police not later than
the following afternoon.
If our friend be fond of sport ho will soon
be finding his way to the race courses near
the capital and into the baccarat clubs, with
which Paris abounds, and here he will te
hourly in contact with police spies in
greater numbor than there are racers on tho
c >urse or cards in tha pack. And so the
game goes on in every sphere of Paris life
aud society.
“-NSPIRBD BY MARY STUART.”
The Singular Conviction of the feote’a
Cour.tese of Caithness.
From the New York Tribune.
The Countess of Caithness (in the Scotch
peerage) and Duchess of Pomnr (by thp
Pope’s creation) has obtained leave to set up
a statue of Mary Stuart in the Place Wag
ram. Her ladyship believes herself the
spiritual daughter of that unhappy queen,
constantly inspired by her. She look- upon
herself as emanaiing from Mary, as the
rose proceeds from the rosebush.
Naturally she does not ad it that the
Queen of Scots was guilty of complicity in
Darnley’s murder. Mary herself, through
the table rapping and slate writiug agencies,
told her not only that she was innoceut, but
that she could not, bv any possibility, have
committed a single one of the crimes laid to
her charge. The Countess of Caithness was,
as you m y have anticipate!, a disciple of
the late Daniel Douglass Home. Those wuo
have not goue Into spiritualism may jump
to tho conclusion that she is demented.
1 have not been convinced by her of the
innocence of Mary or the reality of her
visits to Lady Caithneis, but I never saw a
woman of a more charming mind than this
peeress. She reasons admirably, is gifted
with eloquence, has extraordinary sympa
thetic power—a thing hardly over found in
cranks—brims over with the milk of,human
kindness. bea i: with sociability, and, u i
aided by a steward or housekeeper, manages
her elf her immense fortune and eer
princely establishments iu Paris and Nice.
Persons with fads or manias are generally
out of to ich with ihe rest of mankind.
Lady Caithness is the leader ot the Theos
ophist sect in Paris. She has written books
and started journals to push her creed, ami
for some time took Mme. Blavatsky by the
hand. She has some mystical idea about
the reign of womanhood which, she believes,
came eight years ago—a reaso i wny sie
subdaies her letters Anno Domini 8. The
late Dr. Auna Kingeford was a go-id deal
ass elated with her. Prof. Sidgwick of
Oxford, Gurney and other members of the
Psychical Research Society gave her, how
ever, credit for rare spiritual impressibility
aud t lought her “eerie.” .
She admitted the claim of Lady Caithness
to a kind of filial re;atio.,ship (of a pyshical
kind) with tho Queen of Scots, and pointed
to the extraordinary resemblance between
their heads and to the penetrating charm
which Mary exercise! aud which Lady
Caithness exercises. This rotembla .ce will
be brought out by Rongel, the sculptor, who
is charged to make the statue of Marv
Stuart; at least, so I judge from a skote'h
which lias een shown to me of the proposed
work of art.
Paris lias already a statue of the Scottish
queen. It stands in the Luxembourg, in au
array of French queens, Mary having bee:
tbe wife of Francis 11. But it is conven
tional and hardly distinguishable from that
of Margaret of Valois, though the two
princesses bore no sort of resemblance to
each other.
California's Giant Trees.
Andrew Cauld well, the special agent of
the general land office, appointed to make
an investigation as to the location, condi
tion, number, etc., of giant Sequoia
uiaantea trees in the Stockton and Visalia
land districts in California, has trade bis
report to the commissioner of the general
land office. These trees, the specia agent
says, grow In detached clusters on the top
or sides of the Sierra Nevada mountaiu
range in the districts named, t ;J always at
an elevation of from 6,000 to 7,000 feet.
Access to ihem is, as a rule, very difficult,
on account of the extreme roughness
of the mmutain passes and canyons. The
Mariposa grove, in the Stockton land dis
trict. is the largest in that vicinity. It
contains about 520 trees of all sizes, and
seems to ho properly guarded from forest
fires bv the stage company, which has the
monopoly of carrying tourists through that
part to tue Yosemite valley. The Tuolumue
and Merced groves contain eighteen and
forty trees respectively. These groves are
in danger of mountaiu tires carelessly set by
sheep herders. The Fresno grove at one
time contained between 1150 aud 400 t.eei.
Some years ago the Madera Flume and
Trading Company, the report says, erected
a eaw-mill, into whose maw the giant
sequoias are r a [idly disappearing, and now
only about 100 remain. They etand on
patented liod, and are under the control of
tbo Madera compauy. The largest tress,
however, have been spared, because they
canuot he profitably handled.
In the Visalia district there is one
small and one large grove of giant
trees. The latter is virgin forest,
and contains over 1,300 giant
sequoias and many more small trees. Some
five years ago a co-operativo colony located
about forty entries in this iieuzhbori.ood,
ad is constructing a road to this timber
bolt. The eolony, it is assorted, numbers
about 600 members, and has recently en
grafted the Bellamy idea as its leading at
traction. There is danger, the special agent
believes, that these people, if unin ilested,
will soon destroy this most wonderful and
perfect body of sequoia gigaatea in the
world.
In a table giving the number and size of
the trees in the groves visltod, only thus.- 45
feet in circumference and more, measured 3
feet from the ground, are clat *d as giants.
Of those 3,675 were found. Forty-four arc
over 100 feet in circumference and several
are more than 100. One is 106 foet Iu cir
cumference, or a little more than 35 feet in
diameter.
Secretary Noble has requested the Secre
tary of War to station a company of cavalry
in the Sequoia National park and another
in the Yosemite park to prevent deprodatioi s
on the mammoth tree groves.
It is said the so-called Bellamy colonists,
who have in part perfected title to lauds on
which these trees staud, mve expressed a
purpose to hold their claims in spue of op
position.
Women aa Smugglers.
The “Comedy of the Custom House" is
clearly outlined in the Contributor’s Club
of the January Atlantic. The writer say-:
Packed snugly away in that wildernesi of
trunks and boxes are hundreds, nay, thou
sands, of pretty trifles, which it is the pain
ful duty of every man, and the pr ud am
bition of every woman to carry in unscathed
and undetected. The frank, sh.meless
delight which a woman takos in smuggling
has long puzzled the male moralist, who,
following the intricacies of the feminine
conscience, can find no satisfactory explana
tion of this by-p ith. He cannot bring her
to uudei Btand why, when she has purchased
and paid for an article, it should not be
hers to 'ako where she likes, to deal with as
she pleases; and a dozen discourses on
political economy and tlio laws of nations
leave her unshaken in this simple and primi
tive co.ioeplion. As the English are said to
urgue best in platoons, so a woman a guca
best in action; and, while her ha band or
brother is proving to her in the clearest
possible fashion that a high protective tariff
is a blessing to the land, she is assiduously
storing away etnbro.dered (able covers, and
silk stockings, and silver spoons, and tor
toise-shell combs, and tiny-jewe.ed pins, and
bits of frail Venetian glass, wherever her
piaeticel eye tells her they will best
o;capa detection. In the abstract, of course,
dear Edwin is right—ho always H —but she
is fur too busy with her task 10 enter into
abstractions just now. Whatever mental
subtlety she possesses is reserved for a much
more important ordeal—that of Riling
clear with a clean conscience from tbo
searching questions of the inspector. “When
I aui asked if 1 have any presents I always
answer no," said a devout, church-going
woman to me one day, “be auso I do not
consider them presents until I give them
away.”
M.EDIQAU,
When The Face
Is constantly covered with eruptions, the
need of a blood-purifier is plainly Indicated.
Washes and external applications arc of
no avail. The poison must be thoroughly
eliminated from the system by stimulating
the action of the liver and kidneys, which
organs have become sluggish and inopera
tive, thereby throwing upon the skin the un
natural work of cleansing the system of Its
Impurities. What is needed is Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla—the best of blood medicines.
“ My face for years was covered with pim
ples and humors, for which I could find no
remedy till I began to take Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla. Three bottles of til's medicine effected
a thorough cure. I can confidently recom
mend it to all suffering from similar troubles.”
Madison Parker, Concord, Vt.
“I had been troubled for some time with an
eruption of the skin which, till I was induced
to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, defied all efforts
to cure. After taking two bottles of this
medicine, the eruption began to disappear,
and with the third bottle it left me entirely.”

lamp-chimneys may, or may
not, know the difference —
some are made of brittle

tough glass. The tough
ones cost the maker two or

for the breaking of chim
