When here he end his wife stooped at
the Windsor hotel. Earlv one morning
Chief Clerk Jasper received a tue»sagt
saying that Baritone McWade was want
ed at the public telephone station, where
a party in Milwaukee desired to hold
converse with hitn. Mr. Jasper carried
the message to the McWade pallors in
person.
The baritone was Indulging in hit
morning nap. or beauty sleep, when he
learned what was wanted, lie hastily
arose, donned his clothes and rushed
over to the telephone station, where lie
entered the long distance telephone boi
and took up the receiver.
“Hello!" ho shouted. “Is that Mil
waukee?"
“Yes." came the answer, faint bill
dear. “Is that John McWade?"
“It ie." replied the singer. "Who ii
that?"
“I'm Billy Crosby, from Chicago."
“Hello. Billy! what are you doing ur
there?"
“Had to rnn up here on business last
night Say, John, I want you to do mi
a favor, if you will."
“With pleasure. What is it?"

“Go ahead, John. I’ve paid the tolls
I'd give five dollars to hear-‘Comrades'
now. if you'll ring I'll open a small
bottle when 1 meet yon tomorrow."
“All right; here goes.” replied Me-
Wade with a laugh, and he stalled in
on “Comrades," singing it as Inr nevei
sang it before. One of the messenget
boys tiptoed over and quietly opened th<
door of the long distance box.
Then the whole force of the office
knocked off work and drank in the
superb melody as it rolled from the bari
tone^ lungs to Milwaukee by wire. As
he wound up the eong with a high note
he beard Croeby say, “Wait a minute,
John." Then he plainly heayd the Mil
waukee receiver drop and Croeby clap
hie bands vigorously -in front of - the
transmitter. It was genuine applause
from ninety miles' away, and it sounded
te sweetly to the singer as though it had
been the roar of a Vast audience.
“Thanks, John. That was treat The
bottle goes. Tell Clayton to pnt it on

A Europe*. Idea.
A matrimonial clubhouse le among
recent innorations in a European city.
It is a large, roomy building, divided
into several apartments, in one of which
portraits of each woman subscriber art
exhibited, with full descriptions of her
age, talents, fortune, color of hair, eyes,
etc., rise of bands and feet, and meas
urements of the bust and general con
tour. There is also a brief account ol
her life, whether widow or spinster, and
of her particular penchant in alliance
with bachelor or widower, merchant
lawyer or jurist etc., all nicely tabu
lated and set forth. In another room
are the portraits of men candidates for
oonnnblal bliss, bnt the descriptions art
Icm elaborate, and confine themaelves to
an enumeration of the social status of
the candidate and hit financial condi
tion.
A general reading room providee a
medium tor mutual meeting, and is pre
sided over by an ancient dame who knits
interminable stockings. There are also
private rooms for more confidential tete-
a-tete. One of the curiot s rales or the
placets that onlyladiea may enter the
room where the men's portraits are, and
.men only an admitted to the women's
gallery. They most meet in the com
mon room. The establishment U con
ducted on moral principles, and the num
ber of matches on its books approximates
1,000.—New York Sun.
'A Collection of C»«ss
A whole collection of crowns Is kent

countries which have been subjugated by
the Russians—an kept in wfaat is known
as the “Throne Room" of the Kremlin.

services were rewarded in rather an un
common way.
Instead of appreciating his efforts,
Julia Rosa,- the ebony amazon, made a
fierce onslaught on him, striking him
and attempting to scratch his face.
Mr. Barrow slapped a pair of tweezers
on her wrist and no sooner had they
been made secure than she threw up her
hands and began screaming.
She and her husband were lodged in
the calaboose.
