Wllki-abirre, I'a.. April a Mayor
Nlchola, of till city, lent an annual mel
ange of forty-mx printed page to the
city council Inat night, which lhat digni
fied body calmly lgnred by having It

being openel. Toduy he did nomelhlng

not Ignore, for evernl rouncllmcn have

Th nrat Intimation of thl new freak."
' a Home call It, of the mnyor'a wa the
I appearance on th atrect thl afternoon
of a moat unuaual ajiectacle woman
, walking around, wiT.rlus upon her back
a Mir white curd, on which was printed
In large black letter the word:
! "I AM A SHOE THIKK. LOOK OUT."
A big policeman lollowcd Aoef tiehlnd
her to prevent her dlKplacIng the elgn
or running awny, and thus ah waa 00-
ligcd
to walk through all the vrln'lpal
, streets.
The woman Is Mrs. Sarah Jones, and
; the police say she Is a professional thief
j and ha been before the mayor several
I time for petty theft. But apparently
j the punishment has had little or no effect
, upon her, for no sooner waa she a free
1 woman than she would be In trouble
again.
1 Knrly this afternoon, while walking
I along the street with a large basket on
: her arm, she coolly took a pair of men's
, shoes from the stand In front of l'ahny'
shoe store, dropped them In her basket
and hurried on. One of the clerk, how
, ever, had seen her. He followed her
until ho met a poltccnma and had her
arrested. Tho woman wa at once taken
before the mayor. Her only excuse was:
! "Oh. your honor, me old man has no
j shoe and I had to take "cm so he could
go out and do some work, for me and
1 the children have nothing to eat."
"Now, Mrs. Jones," l.e snld, "I will
give you your choice of two things, for
I mean to punish you. I will cither
send vou to lall to await trial, and that
! will mean a confinement of a month bo
I foro the grand Jury meets and the sent
ence after your trial, or you inn walk
about the town for one hour cth a sign
upon your back telling everybody w-ho
sees you that you are a thief and that
you are to be watched."
The woman readily agreed to this un
usual proposition, and the mayor and hi
secretary made the sign. With this
fastened around her neck and hanging
from her neck to below her wnlst, and
escorted by a policeman, the woman wa
made to parade the principal streets,
chiefly around and around the publio
square In the heart of the city.
The woman had not gone a block from
the mnyor's office before a crowd wa
following hor, small boys hooting and
shouting, "Thief! Thief!" "Steal some
moro shoes, will youT" "Now, will you
be good?" and other expressions.
Older persons, though, who saw the
spectacle, were deeply Impressed, and a
great many were very much Incensed at
what was termed a public outrage, and
on all side the mayor wn severely con
demned. Had he foreseen the result
of his novel mode of punishing the wom
an he would have probably let her go
free before making her publicly parade

UNCLE JEd9.
The Danville Dreamer. In Vision Ha
Seen Major MeKlnley Nominated.
Danville, Ky.. April t-Reed. Morton,
Bradley and other aspirant for the Re
publican nomination for president may
just as well step down and out Me
Klnley 1 going Jo get It T'ncle Jess"
Reyston. of Polly' B?nd. Gerrard coun
ty, ha dreamed It and M of Uncle
Jesse' dream come true.
A few years ago, just the time that a
certain great running race wa to be con
tested. Uncle Jess, who ha alway been
an admirer of the grt thoroughbred
horse, dreamed that he saw the race,
saw the winner finish good and strong
and get the purse. He told hi friend
about U. they plunged, and won.
When Cleveland was first nominated
!or the presidency and two month be
fore the election took place. Uncle Jes
dreamed that he waa going lo he elected.
He told his friend and neighboni about
it, and they laughed nt him. He told
Ihem that they could laugh all they
wanted to, but Cleveland would be elect
ed, and ho would bet a million on It If !
he had the money. Cleveland was
elected.
Now he says MeKlnley I golnr to be
nominated. The other niht he dreamed
he was at the convention and say that
it was simply a case .if MeKlnley first
and the rest nowhere. He says that
MeKlnley 1 as certain to be nominated
as two and two make four. His neigh
bors, too, having faith in Uncle Jess, be
lieves that this settles It so far as the
nomination Is concerned. Uncle Jess
dreamed that Bradley was going to b j lo paaa tne bUl at once, tlr.iy oljected
elected governor of Kentucky, and that j to going on with the MIL t-aylng he
dream wa considered so absurd that hla wanted more light on some of these In
most faithful follower were about to ; dian war. The bill went to the eaten-
desert mm, nut it only went to make nt
reputation more secure.
Uncle Jess Is now working on a dream
that he believe will bring him a for
tune. For many year there ha been
current in Garrard county, around about
Polly' Bend, a story to the effect that
a famous miser who once lived there
abouts died and left an Immense fortune
in gold, which was concealed in an iron
box and burled near his cabin. Uncle
Jess Royston has been working on this
case for some time. He ha dreamed
that the gold exists and Is buried In bis
neighborhood, but so far ha been un
able to dream of the spot wherein It
lies. Several times he has started out
In his dreanjs, but somehow or other
ha always been thrown off the track
by some untoward Influence. However
this may fail. It can be set down that
MeKlnley will be nominated.
THE RULING PASSION.
Toronto Catholic Register.
A miser some years ago, finding himself
very unwell, at length grudgingly sent
for a doctor, whom he bade unhesitating
ly to truly tell him what was bis true
condition. "I will be perfectly frank
with you," said the medtcan man: "you
cannot live more than six weets." Di
rectly the mivr heard this he sent for
one of the governors of a public charity.
and that gentleman arrived, full of ex-
