A party ef the wags who are always hanging aronnd the National hotel held np old Carter Bowie, the colored man who has sold raw craters from the can for seasons innumerable on Sixth street, yesterday, and after chafing him for awhile on various questions touched him in a tender spot by asking him what kind of weather Washington was going to have this winter.

A series of most daring robberies it now puzzling the Anderson (Ind,.) offi cials. When Joseph Munchoff, a furni ture dealer, awoke the other morning, he found the following note lying on his desk hardly ten feet from where he had been sleeping: My Deab Sir If yon had some money in your pockets, I would not hare bothered tout watch sod your wife's sealskin sack. I thank you fur sleeping so sottnd. New York Burglar. Here are fire praniss here a cigar en me. The note was neatly penned on Mr. Munchoff 's note paper, and on it lay five pennies. 8ix other houses wee en tered and money taken when it eonld be found. It it thought that all of the robberies have been committed by this nervy individual Indianapolis Senti neL Mrs. VaaderMU'a Partridge. By the authentic and authoritative way of an English print the word oomea that when Mrs. Vanderbilt wants to eat the wing of a partridge the hat ten birds cooked and served from which to choose. There are several Mrs. Vandor bilts in tbia country who might easily afford this method of selection, but the London newspaper does not venture further than this wholesale statement And why only ten birds? It doesn't take millions to buy ton partridges. A raally good story would be that a par tridge with ten wings was offered. New York Times, . HIGH TREASON. Farta C really ExrIU-d Orrr the rMerleeares Following the Arrest of raptain Oreyfaa. The excitement over tbo spy mania is still high in Paris. The case of Can tain Dreyfus, who is awaiting court martial, causes extraordinary comment It is said to be the intention of the gov ernment to insist upon tbo extreme pen alty of death in case he is fonnd guilty. There is apparently good authority for the statement that precise particulars respecting the transport and concen tration of the French forcea in the event of mobilization after a decla ration of war were placed ta the hands of agents of the triple alii ance. The hours of the departure and running of trains with troops on the main railwav lirwo nr-H ain .w linea were set forth, together with de tails of the placet at which stores would be procured en ronte. It is asserted that even the original documents were snp plied to the intelligence department of the triple alliance at Berlin. Another story relates that tbo disap pearance of some important paper from a pigeonhole at the war office was fre quently noticed. After diligent search the document would be found in tlie precise place from which it had been abstracted. The general staff also is said to have been aware that the Ger man war office pridod itself on its iui tiation into niauy of tho secret of the plan of mobilisation. For a long time the French military authorities were puzzled, but eventually succeeded in unraveling the mystery. It will be quite another thing to prove who hat been guilty of these acta of high treason. Paris Letter. The Aegis, only 10c a week. You Saw the $25 ad.
