But He Managed to Locate It Before the Police Did. From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. This happened at Los Angeles to J. K. Crawford, an Englishman in Nat Goodwin's company: The Englishman had just discovered the loss of his watch.

He had an amazing suit of tweeds and an accent that needed a shave. He didn't want to make a fuss, he said, but he really hated to lose his watch, don't y' know. He came as near being excited as an Englishman ever gets. He said he had come in on the morning Overland, and, being an Englishman, the Arst thing he did was to take a bath at the hotel. "When I came out from the bawth, y' know, and dressed in my room, I found me waistcoat was not on.

Beastly bore not to have one's waistcoat on y' know. I went back to the bawth and everything was just as I left it, y' know; but the waistcoat was not there. me honor, most mysterious, y' know." This was a stunt for Sherlock Holmes. Here was an Englishman who had gone into the bathroom with his waistcoat. It was to be reasonably supposed that he was alone when he took the bath.

He had come out, gone to his room; dressed and then discovered the loss of his waistcoat. He had gone back the bath room, found everything just as he had left it, but no waistcoat. A the best detectives in the department were at once put on the case. The bathroom was selentifically searched. No waistcoat.

Innocent chambermaids were put to the horrors of the inquisition. No waistcoat. The police entered the room of unsuspecting boarders in the vicinity of the Englishman's room by means of pass keys. No waistcoat. When the department was on the verge of despair, some one had a happy thought.

Maybe the Englishman had left the vest on the train. Detectives raced like mad for the railroad yards. Porters were put on the rack and scared nearly into fits. No waistcoat. No trace of the waistcoat.

The police sat. down, baffled, discouraged and hopeless. While they were sitting about in despondent groups, debating? methods to save disgrace, the telephone bell rang. It was the voice "the Englishman at the other end of the line. Er, beastly bore," he said, stuttering and stammering.

"Beastly embarrassing, don't y' know, but 1-I found mo walsteoat." "He has found the vest," gasped the captain of detectives, in wild exciteRent. "Where, where?" asked his men with bated breath. bellowed the captain into the 'phone. "Under my undershirt," said the Englishman. "In a fit' of absentmindness must have put it on first after me hawth, and -lost it.

don't know." FORTY-FIVE GRADUATES LARGE CLASS OF GIRLS LEAVE TRAINING SCHOOL. Exercises Were Conducted Last Night in the High School Auditorium. Interesting Discussion on the Introduction of Phonic Spelling Took Place of Formal Address to Graduates-Chairman Jennings, of High and Training Committee, and Supt. Phillips Made Brief Remarks, Forty-five prospective teachers, all young women and all charming young women, too, were last night graduated from the Scranton Training school in the High school auditorium. It was the largest class in of that institution.

The stage auditorium was beautifully decorated with immense potted palms and directly over the front of it was hung the school's motto, worked out in evergreen and surrounded with red, white and blue incandescent lights. The members of graduating class, who marched on the stage to music furnished by the Lawrence orchestra, occupied two rows of seats extending from one side of the platform to the other. All were attired in white and nearly all had flowers entwined in their hair. On the left of the stage sat President Gibbons, the board of control, and the members" of the high and commitee, while at the right Superintendent of training, Schools Phillips, Miss Olmstead, the principal of the Training school, and Miss Christine Fellows, her assistant. The invocation was offered by Rev.

Dr. James McLeod, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. This was followed with a delightfully swinging waltz song sung by the members of the class, under the leadership of Mrs. Barnes, the supervisor of music. Following the custom established last year, there was no formal address delivered by a visiting educator.

Instead, two of the members the class had prepared essays and there was a discussion on an educational topic. PERSONALITY OF THE TEACHER. Miss Olive Munn, the president of the class, had prepared an essay on "The Personality of the Teacher." Because of a death in the family she was unable to be present, and the essay was acceptably read by Miss Edna Eloise Freeman. It was an able presentation of the principle which is coming to be recognized more and more among teachers every year, namely, that the shaping of a child's after life is largely in the hands of the teacher. Miss Beatrice Morris recited "My First School," and gave an altogether delightful picture of a new teacher's first day as a teacher and her struggles with a class of hopelessly irrepressible youngsters.

As an encore she recited a humorous negro dialect poem. The discussion of the subject, "Is Spelling by Phonics Desirable and Practicable?" was participated in by young ladies and was the most interesting feature of the programme. Miss Sadie Falkowsky, opened the discussion for the affirmative side, giving at some length reasons why "monkey" should be spelled "monki," and why "easy" should be spelled "ez." Words in their written form should picture to the eye the sound which they represent. possible only by the use of the phonic method of spelling, she said. The economy in time which would follow its introduction was pointed out.

one Children ten the could time be required taught to at read present. in There would be an economy in printing, also. One column in six could be saved in the newspapers one page in six in the printing of books and magazines. Its use would result in the introduction of rational methods of teaching and would make English in time the universal language. She pointed out the diverse pronunciations given to precisely the same combinations of letters under the present system, as for instance--bone, gone, done.

MISS JONES' CONTENTION. Miss Helen Jones, for the negative, said that the introduction of the phonic system is impossible, because it would be impossible get philologists to agree on the pronunciation of words. Each would want his own pronunciation, and so would everybody in general. The result would be confusion. The introduction of the system would make the English language resemble a "stump tailed fox," and would rob it of its wonderful beauty of form.

The great masterpieces of English literature would remain a closed book if it were introduced, she said. Miss Sadie Coslett ridiculed the arguments of her opponent and asserted that the introduction of the phonic system of spelling would establish for all time a sound standard of pronunciation. It is the only rational method of spelling, she said. She told of the first efforts of little children to write and how they invariably spell according to the phonic system. She gave this as an argument to show how the education of the child could be simplified by its use, The literature the past could be re-written into phonic words, she said, and need not be lost.

Miss Olive Mead, a very positive young woman, closed the discussion for the negative by asserting that the introduction of the phonic system is unnecessary, undesirable and altogether impossible. Miss Ruth Beddoe, who has a sweetly sympathetic voice, sang "Forgotten." Then Miss Ethel Beale presented to the board of control for the school a beautifully framed photograph of St. Mark's cathedral in Venice. Superintendent Phillips accepted it in a few brief words. The great popularity which he enjoys was demonstrated when he stepped forward.

The applause was so loud and long that 1 he was obliged to wait nearly two minutes before it ceased. SUPERINTENDENT'S REMARKS. The children, under a teacher's care, he said, are buildings and perpetuate the life and influence of the teacher in themselves, as the cathedral perpetuates the artistic genius of the architect. He urged them to live not in words but in deeds. Miss Grace Lauer read an interest.

ing essay on "Col. Parker, the Children's Friend," in which she pictured the life of that first great American follower of Froebel's teachings. T. J. Jennings, the chairman of the high and training committee, made an address in which he said that the present class is the largest in the history of the school.

There have been 181 graduates, he said, and of this number .101 are now actively engaged In teaching. The cost of educating these teachers has been only about $20,000, he said. He had the pleasure of seeing them graduate from the High school last year and on behalf of the board he wished them every success on their broader and more extended plane of usefulness. President Gibbons, of the school board, presented each of the graduates with her diploma as their names were called off by Miss Olmstead. The members of the graduating class are as follows: The Misses Lly James, Helen Elizabeth Jones.

Emma Kirk, Ethel Kirk, Mary Larkin, Agnes Chambers. Lauer, Olive Loretta Mead, Helen Marie Melvin, Anna May V. McGinnis, Beatrice Enid Morris, Daisy M.

Rondo from "ONE GOOD TURN," ETC. How a Would-Be Doctor Got Out of a Hole. From the London Quill. In French theatres the doctor of the theatre has a seat given him for every performance.

He must each Naturally, after seen benchers the same piece a score of times, he longs to be elsewhere, and prefers to give his seat some of his friends. A weil-known writer, M. says that when he was a young man a friend, the doctor of a certain theater, gave him his seat. Just as he was becoming interested in the first act the stage manager rushed up--the heroine had a nervous attack and required medical aid. B- had nothing else to do but follow him.

In the lady's dressing room found the manager with anguish depicted on every feature and the lady wringing her hands and shrieking. "Now, doctor, quick! What's to be done?" B--- grew as red as a lobster, and as he could not say anything he just ejaculated: "H'm. Let us see; let us see!" He took the lady's hand in a wild: attempt to feel her pulse. She shrieked more than ever and writhed like a snake. "Have you poured any water on her head?" he asked.

"Yes." "And no effect?" "None." "Then give her a sniff of eau de cologne." "Haven't any," was the answer. "Then go and fetch some." Off rushed the manager and the stage manager together, and B- -was left with the patient. "Suddenly she opened her eyes and smiled. "Doctor," she said, "you are a good fellow, aren't you?" "Yes, ma'amselle." "You must be, doctor. Now listen.

There is nothing the matter with me. You would have found that out soon. want a couple of days' holiday. Can't you manage it?" "Delighted," he replied, joyfully. "Now, ma'amselle, you're a good sort, too.

I'm not a doctor. I came in on the doctor's ticket, so you must not give him away." By this time the manager and stage manager came back, each with a bottle of eau de cologne. He told them that it was unnecessary now; the lady was quite composed, and could appear without any danger. But she must have a few days' rest. They made wry faces, but granted the holiday, Equal to the Emergency, An uptown reader tells of the "break" made a of the family who was one of a party of little girls at a recent strawberry festival in the vicinity of her home.

She had been valiantly boasting of the manifold advantages of belonging to her family, and had managed to hold her own against the vain-glorious and ingenuous discourses of her companions. They had gone from clothes to personal appearances, then to interior furnishings, then to the number of tons of coal consumed in the home of each during the last winter, and finally brought up at parental dignity. The me minister's little girl boasted: "Every package that comes for my pa is marked 'D. every package that comes for my papa is marked 'M. retorted the daughter of a physician of the neighborhood.

Then came a fine snort of contempt from the heroine of this anecdote. "Huh!" she exclaimed. package that comes to our house is marked 'C. 0. There, Where the Joke Came In.

A belated wayfarer was passing an English public house late at night, when a foreigner was ejected therefrom who bore all the signs of extremels rough usage, but nevertheless was laughing immoderately. "What is the the gentleman asked. "Why," said the other, man came up to me in the bar just now, gave me a fearful punch on the nose and said, "Take that, you blooming and he fell to laughing again. the gentleman said, nothing very funny in that." the man answered, "but then ha hit me a crack: in the eyes, and after. ward knocked out my teeth, sayine.

'And tale that. too. VOL blooming still I can't 500 anything funny." "Ho! Po! the other yelled. joke is that I'm a -Troy Times. UP TO 11 O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT HAD NOT AGREED.

At That Hour the Jurors Retired for the Night Rumor Has It That Two of the Jurors Favor a Verdict of Murder in the First Degree. Closing Scenes of the Trial-Character Witnesses Called by Defense. Suit Against Constable Neary. Other Criminal Cases Heard. The trial of Michael Davis for the murder of Peter King, at Minooka, on February 16, was completed yesterday and at 3 p.

m. the case was given to the jury for consideration. Up to 11 o'clock last night it had not agreed upon a verdict, and at that hour the Jurors retired. Reports had it that two of the Jurors are in favor of murder in the first degree and the others for a lesser degree. When court opened in the morning the case on the part of defendant was again taken up and a number of very prominent men went on the stand and swore to the excellent and law abiding character, of Davis.

Those called Law and John M. Robertson, of the firm of Robertson and Law, coal operators; John McCrindle and William Weir, of Moosic; John Lovering, of Greenwood, and John Beamish, Philip Connolly and Owen Connolly of Minooka. Colonel F. J. Fitzsimmons made the closing address to the jury for the defense.

He spoke for about an hour and eloquently pleaded with the jury that the theory of self-defense put forth by the defense was the only reasonable one under the evidence in the case. District Attorney W. L. Lewis summed up the case for the commonwealth and urged most vigorously that the case was one that arose to the dignity of murder of the first degree. Judge Edwards' charge consumed an hour and one half and was one of the most painstaking and exhaustive he has ever delivered.

He reviewed the evidence in detail and instructed the jurors that it should be considered in the light of all of the circumstances in the case. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the jury retired to make up its verdict. Other Criminal Cases. Stanley Mitchell, who was tried yesterday on the charge of stealing $8.65 from Mrs. Butler's hotel at Vandling, was acquitted, and the costs were placed on the county.

Landlord P. H. Durkin was the prosecutor case called Judge Kelly, charged F. with land beforey having defrauded him out of a $55 board bill in 1896. Attorney C.

S. Woodruff, in behalf of the defense, contended that the action 'was barred by the statute of limitations, but it appeared that there was some evidence that the defendant had left the state immediately after his departure from Durkin's, and the court left it to be determined by the jury whether he was a fugitive from justice up until about the time of his arrest. If they should find that he was, the statute would not bar the action. Attorney John F. Murphy assisted Mr.

Thomas for the prosecution. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, just before adjournment. James Sullivan, of Olyphant, was then tried for the larceny and receiving of a quantity of oats from the barn of John N. Lillibridge, the prosecutor, in March last. The defendant had been in the employ of the prosecutor and it was alleged had taken the oats from the barn and then, in company with Stephen Hunt, had sold them for $2.50.

Hunt was indicted on the same charge and plead guilty. Attorney R. L. Levy was counsel for the defendant, and Attorney George S. Horn represented the prosecution.

Morris Klein, of this city, was arrested by the police on a charge of stealing four chickens. There was not sufficient evidence to establish the crime, and a verdict of not guilty taken and the costs placed on the county. After the murder jury went out, Theodore Wachna was put on trial before Judge Edwards on a charge of perjury, preferred by Frank Wilson. The parties live in Carbondale, and it is alleged that Wachna gave an order for $50 to Wilson, but subsequently, when an effort was made to collect on the order, he swore he had never signed it. The case was on trial when court adjourned.

Rights of Way for New Company. Caroline Gaughan, of Carbondale, yesterday petitioned court to appoint viewers to assess the damages that will be done her property, corner of Sixth avenue and River street, by the action of the Northern and Lackawanna Railroad company in seizing a portion of it for a right of way, She is represented by Attorneys H. C. Butler and I. H.

Burns. The Northern and Lackawanna company is the subsidiary company of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company, which will operate the new cannon ball road between Scranton and Carbondale. The Scranton and Northeastern railway filed a bond in Prothonotary Copeland's office to indemnify Randolph Crippen for a strip in Moosic, which it has seized under right of eminent domain. Suit Against Constable Neary. An action in trespass was instituted yesterday by Attorney C.

Comegys Constable E. J. Neary, of Carbondale, to recover $5,000 for injury which, it is alleged, he did to the reputation and business of Catherine Bartells, a general storekeeper, of Carbondale. A wholesale house had a claim against the plaintiff and it was given to Constable Neary to collect. In attempting to collect it, it is averred, he hung about the store and made allegations in the presence of customers which would tend to injure plaintiff's business.

The action of constable was wholly unthe warranted, it is alleged, because the been paid and he had received notice to that effect. Marriage Licenses. Marriage Licenses.
