u) mt Smbj gtftonmu ASTORIA. OREGON: WKIAY AUGHST31.18.SS. A URAVE ERROR. Tiie river and'harbor bill which be came a law without the president's signature was supposed to aggregate in appropriations the sum of 22,750,- 000, but a clerical error makes it ag gregate nearly $23,000,000 mora One item was 25,000 for the improvement of Black Cove, Portland harbor, Maine. But the bill as enrolled and signed by speaker Carlisle, and presi dent pro tern, of the senate Ingalls, says "twenty-five thousand thousand dollars." The supreme court has decided that there is no license in construing acts; that they must stand as they are passed bv coneress and sent to the state department In 1873 a bill in tended to admit among other things fruit-plants free of duty should have had a hyphen between the words this way ''fruit-plants." Leaving that lit tle hyphen out in the enrolling put foreign fruit on the free list, and mil lions of dollars had to be refunded to importers of fruit as the supreme court decided it was entitled under the act to come in free. But it. is probable that the secretary of war will not allow more than 25, 000 to bo spent in improving Black Cove, Portland harbor, Maine. The sea-serpent of the St Law rence, the appearance of which to two reliable young men of Kingston was published recently, has again been seen, this time in broad daylight, and by at least a dozen witnesses. There is little doubt that one of those ocean monsters is spending a few weeks at the Thousand Islands for his health. The gambling at Saratoga this sea sou is heavier than ever before. From 11 o'clock until 2, hundreds of thousands change hands, at the races, and then both the lucky and unlucky investors in tickets give the faro banks a whirl. TnoMAS B. Bakhy, of the general executive board of the Knights of La bor, says the country was never so free from strikes as at the present time. The board has no strikes to settle nt all. Five per cent is getting to be the regular rate for good real estate mort gages iu Montreal. Last month one half of the mortgages registered in Montreal West were at that rate. Canadian ship owners are using ever' effort to compel the government to take action to prevent further ship ments of logs by rafts to the United States, Fon the first time since 187G New York will elect a governor in a presi dential year. A Political Speerli Factory. An impecunious young man, who at one time was in great demand as an orator at local political meetings, but whoso fondness for fiery drink has made him unpresentable on state occasions, has hired an office on Park Row and sent out cards to every po litical organization in the city, stat ing that he is ready to write ANTPOLniCAI. SPEECH IX TEX MIXUTES. When a Telegram reporter called at his den this morning he was en gaged in writing a speech for one of the city fathers, who will deliver it nt the next meeting of the board. It was not of a political nature, but that made no difference to the former ora tor. He got the idea of what the al derman wanted to say, and in a few minutes put the ideas in proper shape. "This is n great scheme," he said, "and I'll make lots of money. There are hundreds of men whom I know who want to speak at public meetings but they don't know how to express their ideas. I write it ont for them, nnd if thev have any intellect at all they can commit the reuse of the speech to memory and then speak their little piece." iV. 1'. Telegram.

A "Htllo" That Disturbed a Member of the Bend or Trade, and Finally Forced Him to Pj Orer 820,000. "It is a well-known faot that no other section of the population avail them selves more readily and speedily of the latest triumphs of science than the crim inal class," said Insnector Bonfield ves- terday. "The educated criminal," he continued, "skims the cream from every new invention, if he can make ass of it. No safe has vet been constructed that Keeps out the shrewd and determined burglar, and that's the way in everything. But 1 don't recall a case in -which this truth was more brilliantly demonstrated than the Maxwell case." "What case was that?" queried an old newspaper man present. "I don't recol lect of ever hearmg of it before?" "No, I suppose you don't,-" said Mr. Bonfield, musingly. "The fact of the matter is, it never was a case that prop erly belonged to the department, but I can speak of it now. Yon see it was at the time when tho telephone had just been introduced into business ana private use. George Maxwell that's not the real name, but it will do as well was at that time one of the most successful speculators on the board of trade, and was currently reported to nave some time ago tipped the scale which marked the million. He was a young and handsome man, and he just married a charming woman. It was an out-and-out loe match. A score or so of messages were dispatched every day during business hours, iney contained sneu important queries as: '2:10 r. M. How are you now, lovey?' And replies like this: '-i p. m. I sigh for you. How is my sweetest?' Well, to save expenses and to increri) tho facilities of communication, Mr. Maxwell connected his office with his home on Ashland aenue foy private telephone wire. Ho was one of (ho first men in Chicago to do so. About fivo out of six business hours wero now spent by him at the 'niXLO.' "One day, just before the close of busi ness, there was a ring nt tho telephone. The devoted husband, witli a jump, was there. 'What does my sweet iet wish?' he murmured. " 'I'm no pet. You mistako me, sir!' came tho reply, in an unmistakably mas culine voice, a voice gruff and ranping, but very distinct. " 'Who are you, then?' asked the aston ished millionaire. " 'I'm Thomas Jefferson Odell, the ac complished burglar, if you want to know.' " "Keneat. nloase.' easned the other. " 'Odell, tho bnrglar,' came the answer over tho wire. " 'The devil!' exclaimed Mr. Maxwell. " 'No, only one of his faithful servants. But now listen. I havo no time to fool away. I and two of my pals havo gained access to your house. Tho cook, the chambermaid and your wifo are lying hero bound and gagged. The nigger coachman has been disposed of. Some bundles of oily rags havo been judiciously distributed about tho house, ready lo bo ignited.' " 'You bloody scoundrel!' shouted the agonized husband, whoso eyes were bulg ing during ho recital. ' 'Don't excite yourself, xsow.sir, uoro is my proposal. If yon should disappear from tne teiepnono wunoui acceumR to it I shall set fire to the honse. It's no use applying to the police, for we'd bo too quick for them. You will see, Mr. Maxwell, that yon are completely in my power. The only sensible thing you can do is to listen to my proposal and to agree to it' " 'Oh, I wish I had my hand at your throat, you infernal villain!' shouted the millionaire, mad with rage. " 'But you know you haven't, so what's tho use of talking that way! Let us talk business instead. I need a loan of SL'O,- 000 cash. I need it at once. If you are inclined to lend me that sum without guarantee I shall leave your house with my pals in exactly the same condition in which I found it " 'You are ruining mo,' groaned Mar well. "And I don't think I havo that much money in cash in tho office safe.' " ' You'll force mo to commit an atro cious deed,' came the remorseless reply. ALL EIOOT. " 'All right, then Yes, I'll pay, but to whom?' " 'It is now 5:15 o'clock exactly. At this very moment my pal has entered your ofhee to receive the money. You will pay him and he will tell you the watch word agreed to between ns, which you will telephone to mo at onco.' "Mr. Maxwell turned around. A stranger of pleasant mien, dressed in the height of fashion, stood beforo him. Said the visiter: 'i have called to collect a little matter of 20,000 for a friend of mine, Thomas Jefferson Odell " 'Correct!' replied Mr. Maxwell, who went to the safe, took from it two bun dles containing $10,000 each, and handed the money to the stranger. Tho latter ascertained that the amount was correct, then placed tho money inside hi3 two breast pockets. " -And tho watchword?' queried Mr. Maxwell. " 'Do right and interfere not!' replied tho burnlar's confederate with a ureat deal of dignity, and titrodo out of the omce with all tho grandezza oi a bpamsn hidalco. " 'Do right and interfere not!' joyfully shouted Mr. Maxwell through tho tele phone. 'And now you'll leave my premi ses. Mr. Odell, won't you? And as for mv wile " 'Have no fear Mr. Maxwell,' replied tho man at the other end. 'You havo to deal with a bnrglar and a gentleman.' "Mr. Maxwell locked his office, got into his buggy and drove out to his house at a MaudS. pace. Tho moro closely he ap proached, tho kotuer his fear of a catas trophe became. But as he stopped at the gate he noticed nothing out of the way. He sprang up tho stairs, two at a time and entered tho pretty boudoir of his prettier wife. She was quietly reading. " 'How you must have suffered, my angel!' ho cried, and a sob shook his voice. "The yonng wife looked up astonished. 'Suffered? I?' " 'That burglar, you know it must have been awful. Oh, you poor darling!' " 'Why George, dear, what is the mat ter? You speak in riddles.' . " 'But didn't ho gpg you?' ho asked. " 'Now, see here, George, I wish you would talk sense. What do you mean?' SOMEBODY WAS nEBE. "After Mr. Maxwell had finished the recitalof his adventure he asked, 'Wasn't there somebody hero using my telephone?' " 'Why, yes, there was,' replied Mrs. Maxwell. 'A yonng and well-dressed man, looking liko a successful business man, came in, introduced himself to me as 'Mr. Thomas Jefferson Odell, a specu lator,' and requested permission to mako use of your private telephone to send you a message. Of course I gave him per mission. He sed tho telephone hut a onnnla hf minutes and then came back into tho parlor, thanked me for the favor 1 had done mm nnu went uwuy, bujjuk the telephone was a very useful invention it facilitated business so much.' " 'And -that was all?' asked Mr. Max well. 'He didn't gag you and the serv- ants? Ho was alone? He didn't offer violenco to yon?' " 'Why, no! He was very polite and gentlemanly quite as much as you are at this moment, George!' " 'Oh. the devil! exclaimed George. with a wild outburst. "What an infernal but I can't help it. I'll drive over and tell the nolice about it' "That's what ho did," concluded Bon field "and that's the way I came to know about it. But after talking tho thing over with me, and after consulting with the smartest detectives we had at the time, we came to the conclusion that there was no chance of recovering the money. The pair were too slick. And in spito of all we've done since then we've heard nothing more of the $20,000, nor of Mr. Thomas Jefferson Odell and his pal." Chicago Herald. 1IORX.
