• 'Sheriff John Quinn," said a law
yer who has just returned from Bos
ton, “ia an old friend of mine, and
while I was in his town the other
day I called on him at the Charles
Street jail. In the course of our
conversation, he told me this story:
One of th-e inmates of the Jail
accosted the sheriff not long ago with
the .statement that he had found a
$10 bill in the prison yard.
Why didn’t you keep the money?” 1
asked the Sheriff.
*‘I didn’t want to take what didn’t
belong to me,” came the ready re
sponse.
‘‘What are you in here for?” then
asked “Honest John.”
"Larceny,” answered the prisoner.
“BUT I DID NOT PLEAD GUILTY.”
he added.
When his term of imprisonment
ended this Week, and due to the fact
that no‘claimant for the $10 had ap
pealed, Sheriff Quinn gave the finder
the money.

‘‘Bob’’ Evans’ Joke.
A good many stories have been told
about “Fighting Bob” Evans. Here's
one as related by Rear Admiral Wil
liam Swift, former commandant of
the Charlestown Navy Yard, and which
was repeated the other evening at
the Capital City Club by a member
who has know'n Admiral Swift for
many years.
Swift was the executive officer of
the cruiser New York at the time, she
represented the United States at the
opening of the Kiel Canal. “Fighting
Bob” was her captain, and the story
concerns him and Emperor William.
“The German war lord, accompa
nied by a small retinue, was dining
with Captain Evans on board the
New York.
“‘To’ Majesty.’ said he. ‘we are a
very simple people, and if there is
anything yo* like better than the
rest, do not stand on ceremony, but
let Geo’ge give you another po’tion.
“George, an ex-slave, had been
Evans’ servant from boyhood, and
was the only attendant nt the meal.
The Emperor asked George for an
other portion of ham. which happen
ed to be from Virginia mast-fed hog
and was very line. That disposed of,
a third i>ortion was asked for, and as
the royal guest was being served,

” ‘Yo’ Masjesty, if l were a diplo

Former
Y. W.
General Secretary of the
C. A. Bride of Business
College Man.
Unemployed Show
Big Decrease in 1912
Building, Transportation and Metal
Trades Alone Produce the Most
Idleness Among Workmen.
Miss Daisy Eckert, who resigned
as general secretary of the local
Y. W. C. A. April 15, was married at
noon to-day to J. O. Bagwell, of the
Bagwell Business College, in Atlanta,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
Woods White, 32 Howard Street, Rev.
Charles Daniels officiating.
Miss Eckert, incidentally, demon
strated the fact that, a woman—one
woman, anyway—can kep a secret, if
she makes up her mind, even though
it Is a secret so sweetly delicious as
her own wedding day and the name
of the lucky man.
Several weeks ago, when the rumor
first went abroad that she was con
templating matrimony, wily friends
and associates undertook to get from
her the name of her intended and the
wedding date.
Miss Eckert did not deny the soft
impeachment within the rumor, but
“some t me before the summer is
over, perhaps,'* was a.I she would
venture.
She had heard, for one thing, that
a conspiracy was on foot to make
trouble for the daring male person
who came a-wooing Miss Daisy with
intent to take her away from the
V. W. \ A. Maybe it was that and
maybe .t was omcthing else. What
ever it \ as. she kept it, and it only
became known to-day.
Mr and Mrs. White tendered Mr.
nil ML Bagwell a delightful lunch
eon after the wedding.
Everybody wishes the bride—and
j oh. well, the groom, too—long life
and a deal of happiness.

Montenegro Starts
To Fortify Scutari.
PARIS, April 29.—Montenegrins are
determined to hold Scutari against
any action that Europe may take.
Work of fortifying the city has start
ed. Guns, ammunition and provisions
are being taken into the city. This
information was received here to-day
in a Scutari dispatch.
Although the bulk of the Montene
grin army has been withdrawn from
Scutari, King Nicholas’ military
operations are veiled in mystery.
The diplomatic representative here
of Montenegro declares that, if the
powers force Montenegro to give up
Scutari, King Nicholas will abdicate.
The envoy denies Nicholas bargained
with Essed Pasha for the surrender
of Scutari.
A Cattaro telegram said that it was
reported there that a hostile demon
stration had been made in Cettinje
against the Austrian Minister to
Montenegro.
Porte Lends Support to
Albanian Independence.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April 29.—
The Porte to-day sent instructions to
all the Turkish ambassadors and
ministers abroad to support Essed
Pasha’s proclamation of the inde
pendence of Albania with himself as
King.
According to the belief here, Essed
Pasha hoped he might be able to re
tain the suzerainty of Turkey over
Albania by setting himself up as
monarch. Turkey also is taking hope
from rumors of dissension among the
allies.
Bulgarian troops are said to have
been repulsed in several sanguinary
engagements with Servians near
Monastir and with Greeks near Sa
lonika. Turkey has protested to the
powers against the aid given the Bal
kan States by Russia.
Montenegro to Abandon
Scutari, Says Diplomat.
VIENNA, April 29.—According to
secret information to Austria, it was
learned from a diplomatic source to
day. Montenegro will eventually evac
uate Scutari, after having made a
further show' of defiance to Europe.
A Cettanje dispatch declares Crown
Prince Danilo yesterday presented the
keys of Scutari to King Nicholas
there amid a frenzied demonstration.
